    Need to part with my 2015 SHO

    You know, now that you mention it, I do notice that the pictures of the seats are not flattering. I did do a leather treatment, not too long ago and they don’t look as bad in person as they do in that picture.

    Need to part with my 2015 SHO

    Hey everyone. This was a tough decision, but I have decided to sell my SHO. No mechanical reasons at all. I just cannot afford to keep two cars around and I decided to let this one go to someone to continue to have fun driving it. The listing on cars.com is HERE. When I bought the car last March...

I filled up and reset the trip counter and I did get an average of 24MPG during that trip. by now it has gone back down to around 15mpg. I have also cleaned both MAP sensors and...

    Oil leak near oil fill cap

    I never thought about warranty work not paying as much but perhaps just like a health insurance claim, they pay less than folks paying cash. The part number listed on the invoice for the valve cover is FG1Z6582E. I was looking to see what all is included in the box but didn't find anything...

    Exactly. Even when I specifically said, I will gladly pay extra for parts that you think need replacing. I guess I’m wrong about dealers. I would’ve thought they would look for a ton of stuff to replace when you’re doing warranty work now. I just need to find a someone near me who is good with...

    Oil leak near oil fill cap

    Wow, I am very grateful for this detailed analysis and suggestions. I will start with the easiest steps, just cleaning the area with dawn and warm water in a spray bottle but will definitely feel around al the areas you mentioned first. I just watched the video inspection again and he does say...

    Oil leak near oil fill cap

    Yeah, that was my first thought. to just clean it and see if it returns. At first I thought that they just missed this area but this is a new valve cover. Thanks for the link for the cap. This is the most I have dealt with any dealer on any vehicle. I need to find a local shop that I can trust...

    Update on this issue. Valve cover and gasket has been replaced. They kept it overnight at drove it 37 miles and then checked again and found no leaks. Got it back last night and drove it a bit and did not smell any burning oil. This morning though I noticed that there is still oil at the same...

    Oil leak near oil fill cap

    So after doing a cleanup of the area around and under the charge pipe I took a few drives and saw that it was still leaking. The only reason I was doubting that is because I was NOT seeing the dripping from the frame and pooling on the ground like I did the first time I looked. Since I have the...
