But if I recall, Magna doesn't require oil changes for a long time. I wonder why yours is different. Maybe it's a Pro vs Magna thing...
ProCharger recommends 5-6K oil changes, so I change the oil at 5K intervals at the same time I change the engine oil and filter. So far, that's been 13 oil changes in it. So far, close to 60K miles on the ProCharger. It's CVT belt went bad when it had about 40K on it, but it was still within warranty. They rebuilt the entire unit - bearings, seals, etc because they wanted to make sure I didn't have any future problems. Great customer service.

Yesterday. Flushed the brake fluid in my Mustang. Fresh Motul RBF600 in, removing the fluid that I put in at the end of 2016. A little overdue for this stuff.

Old and new:






And the old stuff, after the flush was done. Can see some of the fresh stuff still in the tubing going to the jar, nice color difference:

I drove in snow last week. It's raining and melting fast today, but there's still a forecast for snow flurries overnight. I'll keep snow tires on and winter ballast in the trunk at least another week or two.

Today is the first, really nice day we have had here in a long time. I drove my Mustang to work today but going to take the long, winding, back roads home tonight. Also, it's National Mustang Day!

Been raining every day since April 1st. We have already exceeded our average of 1.42", with 1.57" in the first 15 days. Yesterday and today were finally nice and looks like it will be good until Friday night. You know Easter weekend it always has to be stormy, and it looks nasty. Been driving the car and enjoying every minute of it. Finally burned off that first tank of winter storage fuel. Now it is ready to start using the Trackey! Let summer begin.

Dropped off at Unique Car Care in Andover MA. They have a stellar reputation and put on my first clear bra when I bought my 2014. I pick her up in the morning.

That's the shop that did the ceramic coating on my truck almost 3 years ago. Speaking of which, I need to have it redone soon. Real soon.

I got full hood coverage and it looks great. Glad I decided on the full hood this time.

How do you like the ceramic coating?

Tony I drove through some hair raising **** with my mustang this winter. Got stuck once for a bit but drove it out. Seriously thinking of an all wheel drive for next winter.
In addition.

Finally painted my pony emblems. I wanted to keep the red white and blue, but I couldn’t figure out a way to paint the silver portions and have the stripes look clean and crisp. I think I dig it this way anyway.

Sounds killer Gabe. Not really too loud in my opinion. Maybe when driving it must be loud.
When did you take the cats off? I thought New Hampshire was one of those states like MA that busted ***** about emissions?

Damnnnn,......yeah Mark. You need an awd vehicle for the winters man.
Better yet, get a 4X4 and never get stuck in snow. lol

That's awesome man.

Sorry for the super late response. I seldom visit this thread.
I LOVE the ceramic coating! If you are on the fence,....do it! Blows away any other detailing product out there. Mine was only warrantied for 2 years, so it's been 3 years this month and I need to have it done again. I can't keep the maintenance up in the winter time obviously, because it's too brutally cold out.
I would love to go back to UCC, but they are even further away from me now, so highly unlikely. There's a shop in Dedham, MA that does the 7 year Opti-Coat Pro Plus and it's warrantied for 7 years,........BUT YOU PAY FOR IT! It's big money! lol

Thanks Tony, the cats are now back on as of yesterday.
Yes, they need to be there for inspections, they do visual and OBD checks, so no real way around it.
Plus, I don't want the possible fine, so they're back on.

So that's what I did to my Mustang yesterday, still working on it today actually, since I had to get new clamps and I ran out of time yesterday - had to get to the first cruise night of the season for the NH Mustang Club

We took the wife's Shelby, she drove

Went out to dinner afterwards, found a nice spot in a nearby parking garage.

Leaving the parking garage at the end of the night, the wifey couldn't stop grinning as she was making that Shelby bark .... LOL

(the "ah, ****" at the beginning was cuz she missed an exit, so we had to loop around; we were on the 3rd floor making our way down)
