A what does ford recommend for oil weight? (no personal recommendations please)

B Tire pressure?

C does the head gasket problem apply to this engine too? (I know my 94 had that problem)

D How come no K&N full length kits? Any equivalent? (i really really really dont like the chrome tube with the mac kit)

E I keep hearing this stupid squeaking noise comming from the back is it the rear fold down seats or suspension or what?

F If i remove the bottom of the rear seat is it easly replaceable? I found alot of pens in there and wanna go for the rest.

G If i go to a detailing shop, how much does it cost on average and what all is done?

Can you tell i just got a new stang and am ****?

Recommended in the owners manual is Motorcraft 5w/30

There should be a sticker in the glove box telling you this, it is model and wheel specific

Pass

D How come no K&N full length kits? Any equivalent? (i really really really dont like the chrome tube with the mac kit)

Yes, it just clips back in

G If i go to a detailing shop, how much does it cost on average and what all is done?

Definately
That's as much help as I can be I'm afraid!

Ford supposedly fixed the problem after 95, but I would still keep an eye out. I know I havent seen alot of 99+ v6's to have the gaskets blow.

Most likely from the suspension, get the car put on a lift and check all the bushings and stuff

Yes, they come out and go back in very easily. If you reach in the middle of where someone would be sitting on each side of the back seat, there is a slot you can slip a flathead in to release the seat./ Do this and lift up a bit, then do the other side and lift the bottom of the back seat out.

Most detail shops I have seen offer different "packages" what is done depends on how much you want to spend.

The sticker with the tire pressure requirements might also be inside the driver's door jam. I know 03/04 cobras have it listed inside the gas cap, which is 32psi cold, which is what most regular passenger cars take.

For the noise in the back end of the car your best bet is to take it to a shop and have them look/listen to it.
