A few more ?'s

[Sleeper4SHO]

I'm getting better at find things through the search but still have a few things I need touched on....

1) Has anyone tried to fit the 13-14 upper grill to the 10-11-12 bumper?

On the topic of cooling, pretty sure I'll be doing the 170 tstat...

2) Anyone installed a 2013 aux trans cooler conv kit from Unleashed? Do it/Don't do it?

3) Radiator upgrade? Oil cooler? Thoughts?

4) According to the owners manual it looks like the Oil life monitor is set to 10k miles? Anyone know of anyway to change the mileage setting?

1) Will not work. You would need the whole new front end. I think fenders and maybe hood too.
2) Sorry, I don't use Torrie.
3) BPD retro-fitted a 13 oil cooler on his 10. He loves it.
4) Yup. The manual says 10K for basic, easy going driving. I change full syn every 5K.

Outlines the basic procedure to reset oil life warnings. Based on %, not miles apparently.

AS DJE stated the bumper mod would be cost prohibited in my opinion. Hood, complete bumper and grill and head lights and possibly fenders.

The AUX trans cooler yes is a must, but does your car have ACC? if so it can be done, but this will require some modifications.

Radiator I haven't done because its a pretty big job I understand, and don't want open up the A/C system. but as DJE stated oil cooler upgrade can be done. But have no info as on what it does to aid in oil cooling.

In addition to the auxiliary oil cooler, I have also done the auxiliary trans cooler as well. Both of them have been incredibly beneficial and I am very happy that I was the first to do them.

I thought that was probably the case with the grill. Def no worth the cost.

Crash: what's ACC?

BDP: How was the trans cooler install? Pretty much bolt right up? Did you fit the oil cooler yourself or was it a kit?

ACC - Adaptive Cruise Control.

I believe Ford is putting a filter for that in the next gen SHO. Important to protect the headliner just as much as the seat
