All I know from this is I'm keeping a close eye on my oil. Just had mine changed yesterday at 1000.1 miles. I'm old school and just feft better about getting the 'breakin oil' out. I know Ford Says you don't need to change it till 5000 miles,but I feel better about doing it. Especially since I'm going to Mustang Week Friday for the weekend.Yeah,I my just have to get on it a few times.jeepinocala said:Do you think this had anything to do with the oil change you had just before this happening?
