How much is the oil change going to cost you?

Think its a good deal, if its a stretch for you I would instead consider a mustang gt with the factory warranteed rousch supercharger instead.

I want one but it doesnt fit my plans even if i had the $$$

Gross, looks like they optioned the leather seats, which gets rid of the GT350-unique Recaros.

That’s about how much it costs to do it on the 3 at the dealer, I was just wondering how the prices compared.

Oh, I’d definitely be buying used.

If I buy a Mustang, it will be the GT350. That sound...

Honestly with the price of oil and my time/sanity it just makes more sense. My dealer is right up the road.

I’m in agreement with that.

They drink oil. I don’t know if Ford has resolved this, but they go through oil quickly. I’m guessing it’s the high rpms, but there are other high revving engines that don’t do this.

Search: gt350 oil consumption

Yeah, I know. Seemingly at an even faster pace than my M3!

“ During one of our mountain blasts, the GT350 emptied its tank in 151 miles at an average of 10 mpg.” LOL - that might get me into trouble in rural Arkansas.

Oh, I meant engine oil. It burns engine oil

Yeah, I know, and that’s what I meant in my M3 as well.

Just a funny quote I found about other consumption.

Oh, that’s no good. For whatever reason, I hate checking oil. I end up not being able to be sure where the level is from the reading.

Mine has a digital gauge, which is great, until it sucks. I probably put an extra quart in between every oil change (7500 mile interval).

8600 RPM redline, so...

I wish my cars had the digital reading. Every dipstick I've had has sucked and my current one is the worst. One side reads high and the other side reads low. But it isn't clear which I should go with. It's a pita

B etter to be a little low than a little high, so I’d just stick with the one that reads high and ignore the other.
