[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 11788977, member: 110091"] What is so hard to understand about what we're looking for, big guy? There is no REQUIREMENT to track the Track Pack GT. That means Ford is saying that 5w-50 is okay for normal driving too (required, in fact, for the Track Pack). So, they are talking out of both sides of their collective, corporate mouths to say the regular 2013 GT "requires" 5w-20 but is mechanically identical (internally) to the 2013 Track Pack that "requires" 5w-50. In my opinion, this confirms the CAFE theory. I suspect they expect to sell so few Track Pack cars (just like the more limited GT500s and Boss Mustangs), that the slight drop in MPG will have almost no effect on Ford's overall MPG . . . allowing the engineers to win this one over the bean counters. The bean counters continue to force the 5w-20 on the bulk of Mustang GTs. [/QUOTE]
