    Ford dealer installed wrong oil

    Update Well, I called the dealer today and was informed that yes they used Mobil 1 15W50. Was told that they have used it on all FGT's that they have serviced. After I mentioned that this was the wrong oil and that it would technically void the warranty I was told, "Mobil 1 15W50 is the...

    Ford dealer installed wrong oil

    Tomy, The dealer that I went to has 1 mechanic that works on all of the GT's that they service. They even have a separate building for GT service. No-one other than this one mechanic supposedly touches the car. I did a lot of research before deciding to use this dealer. They have...

    Ford dealer installed wrong oil

    Ford dealer installed wrong oil

    Thanks for the input Mr. Mad & Mr. Indy! Before I called the dealer to complain I wanted to get some insight here on the forum. I thought that certainly a Ford dealer (which was recommended by other GT owners) would use the correct Ford oil without me instructing them to do so. However...

    Ford dealer installed wrong oil

    I recently took my FGT to a local Ford dealer to have the axle bolt upgrade performed. I had the dealer do an engine oil and filter change service at the same time. Last night I happened to read the repair order and to my dismay I see that the dealer used Mobil 1 15W50! Should I be...

    Ford 427 dyno results

    My 427 was dyno'd a few years back and from what I can recall it put out between 525 - 550 hp on an engine dyno. This was with a .017 overbore, 428 crank (gives 452ci I believe), medium riser heads, roller cam, roller rockers, single custom Holley 910cfm carb, Mallory Unilite, and headers. I...
