Baltimore MD,
I'm very lucky. 57,000 miles and never had any of these issues. Now that I read this, I will be changing ptu fluid for the first time before I get back on the road. Do you have a link to your youtube video?
It's not the best video in the world but it gives you the general info you need. Also I have a non pp so I have a fill plug no drain plug like the PP verison.

I’ll say it again—holy crap!!! I never thought just a tuner could make such a difference. It’s not even the same car anymore. It’s a beast. Just drove it the first time tuned and nailed it out of a steep corner like I’ve done 100 times before. I almost lost it. I wasn’t expecting it to lurch out of the apex like that with all 4 tires fighting for traction and it making a bee line for the ditch. Can you say holy friggen torque steer? You have to be careful with these things on the street tuned. It’s trying to **** me like my coyote 5.0 Mustang now. Lol
lol, looked at a mustang 2013 coyote the other day, thought I needed a convertible.
I liked it, nice power; but decided to stick with my'15 SHO .
Instead on spending 20k, I can get to 425 hp with under 2K.

The car is so quick, it just seems wrong. It has to be just about as quick as our stock 12 Mustang GT. I can’t believe these things hold up making this kind of power. After pulling it in the garage, something I noticed from maybe 8 minutes of driving last night was a strong oil like smell that I have not smelled before. I did spill a bunch of coolant all over the place when installing the thermostat so maybe I’m smelling that burning off. It almost seemed to be coming from the exhaust though. I’ll have to drive it a little more and see. I hope I didn’t break something after 8 minutes of driving.

It may be the PTU....................

At least the first time, you would need to know the fill level was correct before trying this approsch.

Drain what ever is in there look in owners manual for proper OZ. Or look it up online. Fill to that level crack a beer for a job well done.

Assuming the PTU was filled correctly in the first place, there is no sludge buildup, etc. Err on the side of caution.
