Dont worry about the warranty you wil lbe fine....i have run 2 cases of RP and 1.5 cases of redline. In fact i just went and changed the oil today with redline. It isnt going to hurt your engine at all. They cant tell you used it anyway.
I'm such a waffler. Several sleepless nights, six cases of beer and five xanax, I agonized over the warranty and decided to say screwit. I'll put the redline in.

Chevy Convert what isn’t soiled about this bit of advice?
4.6 3-Valve Modular V8 with a 8.8 Rear End with 3.55 Gears (Limited Slip)
6 Quarts of High Performance Motor Oil
3 Quarts of ATF Transmission Oil (Even for the TR-3650)
2.9 Liters of 75w-140 Max Gear Oil

Royal Purple states that you will not need any additives with there products. But I still check with Ford. I picked up some Limited slip liquid crap. (Forget what it was called) But if you go to your local Ford parts department, and explain what your going to do, and give them your VIN they will be able to tell you your gear set up, options; which includes a limited slip or not. Then they will give you any additives needed. depending on if you chose to use RP products of not.

It is a good starter upgrade, known to free up some horsepower, and only takes about 1 hour, and cost about 120 bucks. If you only pick 1-5Hp and 4-8lb.ft you will be able to feel it.

Hey man, why don't youXXXX off. Go stand under a street corner, and suckXXXX for opinions, and you might find someone who is willing to have a conversation with you. Because I am not that person.
You are a discrase to human kind, and since you posted on this forum I have thought about trading my mustang off, and getting a Challanger because in no way shape or form do I want to be asociated with your stupidity.
Your have no life, and are basicly stocking me threw a forum site. I'd tell you to get a life but at this point it is evedent that you couldn't purchase one. Because you the only person I know who drives a cool car, with no results to his personal socail statues.
Its pathetic that your keep posting on my thread. I am 20 years old living in one of the most expensive cities in Canada to live in. Gass here is 1.72 a litre thats about 5.19 a Gallon. An average house here is worth half a million dollars, minimum wage is 8 dollars an hour. A brand new 2008 Ford Mustang GT Convertible sells for 48,000+.
I can't explain how much I XXXXing hate you seriouslyXXXX off, and die or something

Your one of those guys who pays for other people to do stuff to your car aren't you?
Lose your wet whipe?

For the average person it is going to be
6 Quarts of 5w-20 High Performance Motor Oil
3.5 Quarts of ATF
2.9 Litres of 75w-140 Max Gear Oil

You will need to pump your fluids in, and wont be able to get all of it out of the pump, so it is a wise choice to buy an extra Quart.

With the exception of the motor oil

I purchased 4 Quarts of ATF Fluid
3 Quarts of Max Gear Oil
and not enough Motor Oil
(5 Quarts)

I used about 2, and a half Quarts of Gear Oil
3, and a bit of ATF
and need to Add a bit of aQuart of Engine oil after putting in 5 Quarts

I've been riding dirt bikes since I was 7, and the first learned how to drive when I was 8 out in a farm in Didsbury. It was a 55 International with 3 on the tree. I work for my money, and purchased my Mustang myself, same with my phew mods, and future mods. I'm not going to get CAI because I have bigger plans: The reason why I started up the Royal Purple thread is because I'm planning on doing mods that will go with ether a Supercharger/Turbo/Nitrous
Until after this winter when I save up enough money, and figure out which direction I want to go.

My advice might not be that good but the fact of the matter is, I'm not ****ting you when I say you will be able to feel it. But I guess its like CAI in the 90's no on believed people that they increased horse power maybe it is a little beyond its time. But seriously bro you can feel it. No ****, any further discussion on this will be taken as an insult to my character.
