Grabber Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 The Rhino ramps I bought at Wallmart do not work with the car unless you put a 2X10 in front of them. Then it works great. Same thing with the GT500. When I turned the oil filter a little most of it drained straight down into the pan. No mess, and no special measures needed with cardboard shoots or bags or foil like what's needed on the GT500. 6 quarts of Motorcraft 5-20 synthetic blend and a filter and I was done in 15 minutes. Easy job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yep, I can't pull on to any ramp without the 2x10's. I've got the CS front fascia and the hadling back which lowered the front about an inch. You did remove the rear whell chocks just for the picture right? We care about you. :happy feet: I had a good editor - thanks Grabber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We care about you. :happy feet: You meant Can't....right? I did not chaulk the rears. My ramps have a built in depression for the front tires to set in. They prevent the car from rollong backwards. I do put the car in Gear and use the E-brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 2x10's ? Who's crazy idea was that? It was a good idea Snoop. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just changed the oil for the 2nd time. 2,260 miles on the car now. The car only has 300 miles on it since the last oil change, but the oil is 8 months old....so it needed to be changed. I found that by driving the front tires onto the wood first, then placing the rams in front of the tires worked real well. I had 1/2 inch to clear as you will see in the photos.

Grabber Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I used the Motocraft brand oil and filter. The Rhino ramps came from walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Does the funnel have a mesh screen in it to stop objects from entering like those tin foil tabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Does the funnel have a mesh screen in it to stop objects from entering like those tin foil tabs? No. My oil containers do not have a tin foil tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 You use a blend? And you don't use gloves? Bad Grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 You use a blend? And you don't use gloves? Bad Grab. What are you talking about ? This is the oil that is specified for the 4.6 Mustang GT. What do I need the gloves on for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Kidding. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic. I was joking about gloves. You're so meticulous I thought you'd be wearing tech gloves. Did someone tell you it was necessary to change her oil with so few miles on the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 PS - I don't think Ford "recommends" a 5-20w Blend - just 5-20 oil. And I see you only have 6 qts of oil. My 4.6 takes 6.5 qts. I'm surprised you haven't bought a lift for your garage to make it easier to work on your cars! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you haven't bought a lift for your garage to make it easier to work on your cars! :happy feet: My Ford Dealership recommended the 5-20w Blend, as so does the manual. See page 219 and look at the pic of the bottle of oil. It shows the blend. Then go to page 245 and it calls it out. 6 qts fills ours 1/8 inch from the top of the hashed marks on the dip stick. See page 245 of your manual. It says 6 quarts and if you over fill you could blow your motor. I am thinking about the lift, but am trying to get something paid off first.

I think Ruf needs the extra 1/2 quart (as do I) for the Vortech supercharger as it is lubricated via the car's oil pan (yep, we had to punch holes in our oil pans - ouch!).
