    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    I believe they are referring to things like Slick 50, not synthetic oils like Mobil 1. The section mentioned above that refers to oil usage states to only use an oil that meets a certain Ford spec (which Mobil 1 0w20 does).

    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    They sell some 5W20 in other brands but they don't have the Mobil 1 in 0W20. I have to buy it at an auto parts store.

    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    The Walmarts in my area don't carry Mobil 1 0W20. I wish they did for the reasons you state. They do carry 0W30 but that isn't the equivalent of 5W20.

    2005 Mustang GT & synthetic Oil

    0W20 Mobil 1 is the direct equivalent for 5W20. I've been using it in my Mazda 6 (which also specifies 5W20) since the first oil change with no problem.

    Hood scoop?

    There's been very little information about special editions or the SVT Cobra and certainly no pictures. There's really no way to answer your question one way or the other.

    Now THAT is an excellent point that I hadn't considered! Stangnut, I may jump to your side of the fence IF the mufflers start showing rust stains around the welds. I'll withhold final judgement until they've been out on the road a bit.

    X plan free PIN right here enjoy!

    That's correct. I'm allowed only 2 PINs per year and I work for a partner not Ford.

    The Monaro has the gas tank in back just like the previous Mustang because Australia doesn't have the same safety regs we do. In order to bring the Monaro into the US as the GTO, the tank had to be relocated. Since redesigning the floorplan was out of the question, the solution was to move the...

    X plan free PIN right here enjoy!

    I hate negotiating with car salesmen so that's my reason for using X-plan. When I walk into the dealership I know exactly how much I'm going to pay for the car and the only thing to haggle about is the trade-in (if I have one).

    For all of us that hate the muffler placement

    Wow! I'm right about something! j/k I think as a consolation to having the muffs out back, consider that having the gas tank in front of the axle gives better weight distribution and thus better handling. I guess that's the reason I don't mind them out back is that handling is more...

    Fine. I understand where you're coming from and I believe you understand me as well. Can we call a truce now? Bickering amongst ourselves is pointless. Let's save it for the GTO owners! :nice:

    My point was they're in back and that isn't going to change. Either live with them or buy new mufflers. But if you guys want to have post after post discussing how bad it looks, then be my guest.

    The issue is that gas tanks have to be in front the rear axles now to make rear end collisions safer (think "pinto"). With gas tanks in front, there isn't room for the mufflers so they have to go in the back.

    Did I ever say yours or anyones opinion didn't matter? You're the one telling me to leave because you don't like my opinion.

    So we're only allowed to participate in threads in which we agree with the opinions expressed in it and all others should just leave? Right-o chief! Whatever you say! Oh yeah...here's my opinion...I think the mufflers look just fine. :nice:

    For all of us that hate the muffler placement

    You're missing the point completely. They're there for a reason: safety. You say you want to ignore safety but you can't because it's the reason they're in the back, for the Mustang and all other cars. Let me understand you correctly: because the Mustang has the mufflers in the back, it...
