Proper engine break in procedure prevents excessive oil consumption, piston slap, and engine failures. Time to have some fun!
Driveway Demons Great Video I'm glad shared how properly brake in a Brand new Shelby GT350 so people won't go through problems that many Shelby GT350 owners have
I took my GT500 down a bunch of backroads for the first 1000 miles and I have some very curvy roads where I live lol I did what you said by varying the RPMs etc. I have 3000 miles on the car now and I'm doing my first oil change this coming weekend. When I've checked the oil during the course of driving it I've have no consumption at all and So far so good! I'm also loving that new GT350 man! 👍
Sick bro! Good stuff!
Also thanks for watching! I have a lot coming 💪🏻
Shelby GT500 GT500s don’t have this problem, the voodoos do, they’re just bad engines
@@jaredchampagne2752 🤣🤣🤣 Or bad owners. The engine consumes oil because of how its made. Fantastic engine in the hands of a dependable owner
I broke my 2019 GT for the first 1k miles. First 500 drive like a granny then next 500 drive like a normal car and then after that use it to full potential. So far no issues. Good to see someone doing it properly 🔥
Hell yea buddy! Yea definitely have to do it right 💪🏻
The 2019 model has the gen 2 engine block....should not have any issues...it is only the 2015 thru 2018 engines, with the major oil consumption on the 2015 and 2016 years
If the 1st 100 miles are that important, they should have broke it in at the factory. But what do I know. 😅
Mine had may 250 on it when I got it as it was on the dealer lot
Congrats man! This car is so sick. I wish I could get one of these. And I agree they are fer sure the best sounding v8 on the market!!
Thanks Jared!
I hate to admit it, but Mustangs have the best exhaust note
I agree 100%
Pops Smith I’m a GM guy and I have to agree 💯, they have a very amazing distinctive sound!
Pops Smith nah they’re so raspy
Agreed. And the GT350 is such a special car with the combination of handling and power. The first thing that got me into cars was a book called Carrol Shelby Racing Cobra, which covered the cobra and had a little blip on the mustangs.
The current model does a great job honoring that history. And I like the 350 more than the 500
Lol I own a Redeye and wish I knew what magic Ford does with the Mustang exhaust.. maybe it’s the overhead cams.
Excellent about details about the breaking period this is the proper way, and even the mustang GT there is a short 500 milles of braking period. Important for ring land to seal correctly and your engine will make more HP.🤙🏼😎💪🦿👏
Thanks buddy
I still think Fords 4v DOHC engine sound amazing. The 5.2 flat plane crank is the icing on the cake.
Absolutely!
JUST HAD MY ENGINE REPLACED. I got the long block replacement which is almost a crate. I bought the car used at 20K. At my scheduled oil change I had used 18qts. I was adding a quart every 1-2 fill ups. 18qts in 8k miles. did the consumption test. failed. checked the PCV valve, did all the tests Ford asked for and then they said yes. SO, I now have a 2017 GT350 with an engine with 97 miles. I need this video.
Randall Rheaume sorry to hear about the troubles Randall. Glad to hear your fixed up and ready to drive! Be sure to break in properly and there will be no oil consumption 💪🏻
I’m actually more excited for your 350 over the 500’s. I think it’s because it has the stick. I’m excited to see what you do to it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Alan Zolotoff thanks Alan!
Great explanation! As an R owner and under 100 this vid is perfect timing man! Don't think anyone can disagree with anything you spoke of. New subscriber, keep up the good content!
Bro you're the 1st person I've heard break the break in phase like that properly. Only other person I've heard was an SVT Specialist at this Ford dealer near my mother's house. That was 2017, and he's had no engine problems. S.N. You're making me want a 350 now. 🤦🏾♂️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks buddy! I am glad I am able to help with the break in. This is such a great car. 💪🏻💪🏻
They are ticking time bombs, to many of them blowing up without even mods. It's sad but true, and I really like the Mustang, bummer🤔
2019+ is much better.
Thank you for your informative videos. Ordered splash guards for mine right after watching this.
It’s amazing how many people don’t do this even though it’s in the manual. 14k HARD miles on my 18R, no oil consumption
Agree! Not many do
For your 18r, you followed the same procedure he said, right? And congrats for having the R!
@@DrivewayDemons so in the first 100-150 miles, in what gears is it best to seed the rings, all of the gears as many times ?
Really appreciate the break in information. I am looking to buy a GT 350. I seen some used ones but you never know if they broke them in property
Engines blowing up are common up 2018, then they dropped in the gen 2 engine block used in the gt350 and gt500. Buy a used gt350 that received a crate engine replacement that is the new block. Those replacement crate engines were being delivered in 2019.
I drove it 2k miles home. For the first 1k miles i kept the rpms below 2800 after that I went up to 3200 rpms. Drove on 6th gear most of the time. Now it has 2200 miles and won’t drive it until I change the oil. The oil level was the same for the first 2k miles. It was checked at every fill up. I also have a 2020 Model.
I just bought my new 2019 GT350 R, and i couldnt be happier! what a machine and driving experience it is.
Its great for sure!
That car is a beauty Cory Congratulations.
Thanks bro!
I took easy on first 1000 miles on my 17 gt 350 no problems at all They can make fun of you but I have owned 23 mustangs over the years and my gt 350 makes me giddy ever time man have fun!!!!! Like burachlor said on his u tube channel I am going to be buried in it LOL
Whats your oil temp when you're breaking it in the first 100miles? Because ive heard from other people you want it around 140⁰C when going over 2500rpm
Should not consume oil at all if it’s broken in properly!
I absolutely LOVE the GT350 but with all the engine failures and Ford not being very friendly when it came yo buy backs or fixes has turned me off and decided to get a regular GT instead. So far I love it too but the main thing that bothers me is how the rear end feels loose like it moves from time to time. Also, that MT-82D shifter is so sloppy. Those are my main issues with it but considering how reliable and fun it's been, I can't complain. So far I've done a BMR subframe mod and an oil catch can. Will continue to upgrade the suspension to see if that rear end sloppiness goes away but so far it only fixed it a bit, I can still feel it but it's much less pronounced and definitely feels better on the corners
Hey I just got a whole new engine in my 2017. Should I stick to city driving for the first 100? I mostly do highway driving. Also does it matter if im at 4k rpms in 5th gear vs 2nd gear? Is one better than the other?
Before you delete your resonators. Best exhaust upgrade to the gt350, put down the back seats ! HUGE difference.
Hell yea! 💪🏻💪🏻
Driveway Demons it’s true. You will hear way more. Crackles and pops and wot pulls will give you an entire different experience
What do you mean? Put them down and leave them down? Are you saying don’t resonator delete?
Patrick Williams I’m saying putting down the back seats makes the exhaust way louder and cleaner. It’s free lol. So res delete or not do it
Ride Along lol got it!
2017, 48k miles and yeah the patience was worth it
Great content. This has been my favorite car. I regret not getting one now that I saw yours. I too owned a Challenger SRT and Mustangs in the past.
Laurence Eng thanks Laurence. Yea the GT350 is an amazing vehicle in every way.
Driveway Demons now I am tempted to sell my M2 and get one. Glad that I am locked in my house lol. Keep up the great content.
Laurence Eng thanks buddy 💯 lots coming in the Shelby 💪🏻
Can't wait till this beauty is broken in, beautiful car
Thanks dean! 💪🏻💪🏻
what oil do you recommend and when did you do your first oil change?
Whatever you do don’t use motorcraft oil! Amsoil or Driven oil is the best on the market! Check out Autofanatic channel! He had a 350 and now has. 350R! Very knowledgeable on cars and knows his stuff on the 350!
I'm calling BS on that.
I am using exclusively Motorcraft oil and have had no issues. My Brookstone Laboratory results can confirm.
stylac one of the lucky ones! Never cared for it
Great video man. Very thoroughly explained. I feel like so many owners needed to hear this back in 2016 LOL. I could faintly hear the piston slap as your rpms fall after the baby rev around 2:12. BTW I have that, only under light loads and that 2-3K RPM range. Pretty much inaudible once engine oil is at 200 degrees. Have had it for the 20K miles I've put on my 2017. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Mine doesnt have any slap at all. I had piston slap on my built honda before definitely no issues on my gt350. They need to be broken in properly.
the gt350/gt500 are the only mustangs i’d ever get.
The GT is fine, too, for a lot less money.
The Shelby Cobras are insane
They denied the claim from Doris "Woman Driven" on a well known engine problem. That in itself got to me to dislike Ford.
That really sucks. Must have seen her TH-cam channel or something. I know dodge makes most decisions on a dealer level.
Must be very sunny
Dude awesome car. Much love from Saudi Arabian fan ! A question where I can get that rock ship for the door?
Thanks for watching bro! What do you mean the foam in the door? I got it at Home Depot.
@@DrivewayDemons Yeah I got the Home Depot part but you said this is temporary and you waiting a part shipped to you. Where I can get that part to stop rocks hitting my car. I have 2020 Gt350 man this car is a beast.
I was planning to get C8 Corvette since they got that central engine but damn nothing like Stang even if the engine is in front who cares nothing is perfect and the stock exhaust is the best in the market. It's sounds better than 488 gtb Ferrari !
Hell yea bro! اصيل اصيل
At 16,000 miles I think my my engine break in is complete.
Just rolled over 30k in my 2017, mines broken in too lol.
3:34 Hello, I have more questions because I’m looking to buy a GT-350
So what about the first couple of hundred miles that were on it when you got it ?
I bought it with 3 miles
@@DrivewayDemons My mistake thought they located it from a different and drove it to Whitmoyer.
SCREAMING BANSHEE it was a different dealer. It had 3 miles on it and they drove it to me. I instructed them how to drive.
Ok that's cool its a beautiful car I had my issues with my 2018 GT350 with only1800 miles when i got it probably due to the improper break in before I got it that you were talking about . I ended up trading in for a 2018 Dodge Challenger . Thats how i found your channel from the Redeye. Best of luck with your Mustang
I agree This green voodoo is a Nice car it doe's sound great!
But I would definitely have to disagree with you on it being a better sound over a Redeye with GT Haus exhaust.
I know that you are fickle and in love with your new car! but let's not get to carried away from reality?? Lol
Nope GT350 sounds much better
Awesome channel !!Gonna hit a mill. soon! God Bless!!
Why didnt you get a M6 Hellcat in the past? 800+rwhp in a manual Cat is crazy. Ask me how I know😎
Hell yeah great video plus you have two on my dream vehicles the JEEP SRT-8 and the the GT-350 💦👍🤟💪
Fold them back seats down for the full Dolby Surround Sound experience
I can't wait tell you put some boost to it.
Paul Mills me too!
I just sold my evo 10 final edition. Looking at a gt350 next.
Now is this the proper Ford engine break in procedures or something you found on a ford forum ?
Kris fords recommend procedure. I don’t read online much at all. Also 20+ years of racing and working on cars/building engines.
I want one. What did this cost out the door corey? I am thinking 66k
Msrp they are between $63k-$65k. My was maxed out lol
Have you driven the C7 Z06? I’m torn between that and the gt350 . Great vid!
Yes I have! It was alot of fun, gt350 is more fun tho!
Driveway Demons wow ok I’m really starting to lean toward the GT350. Thanks for the reply
LMAO every time I am down shifting people think I am Rev'ing my car at them... LMAO Can anyone drive or at least get how Manual's work these days.. Honestly I have gotten more hater reactions from people on the Raod than love.. Only other Muscle car owner's give me a thumb's up or Mustang owner's.. It's crazy how much hate these car generate...
Agree most muscle car guys don't like them. I loved mine. 😍
I know several car guys (who know how to properly break in new engines) who have blown their GT350R. Please keep us informed in 6months if yours does not blow
Jerry Cecco everyone is paranoid about it but the reality is only like two dozen engines have blown with a production number in the $5000 range. Also 2015-2018 saw rods through blocks, spun bearings and a few nasty ones. 2019+ gets GT500 block and all new support, forged internals and more. There have been 4 2019+ engines that have blown in the last year and half. All 4 were valve failure. Due to a weak set of valves. Ford is tracking it down. The bottom end is very strong and they have improved quality control.
@@DrivewayDemons in 2016 when the 5.2 came out everyone said it was bullitt proof I known 2 gt350r owners both blew their engines on street..full engine replacement ford did cover it as they were not modified
Lots of hype in these engines, huge prices of these cars and crazy high motors replacement costs on new motors
what year do you have? 2019 - 2020? I believe that the problems may of been solved with the Gen 2 voodoo engine.
mine is a 2020
The green machine
Amazing car
Best color🤥
I Can’t Wait For The Mods Tho 😈
Me too!
Does the GT350 still have the flat plane crank engine?
Yes.
However, there have been some upgrades through various model years including an upgraded oil system, engine block and a few other things
A name for that should be the lime green machine
A Yo Corey! When you have a minute head over to Jeff Ashton’s channel & checkout the video he uploaded on the 12th “his complete mod list to his 350”.. his build is more Track/Course focused but it’s incredible
Why are you wearing shades when it’s dark out?
Congrats I’m KR 700
Cold start in quiet mode lol
An engine can blow. Every manufacturer has that.
Lexus And Toyota: Am I a joke to you?
DRAMILLIONZZZ 😂
Why not the gt500
Manual main reason. I will get the gt500 later in the year
How do you afford this? What do you do?
The gremlin demon
Hey corey check a guy on youtube autofanic cars!! Hes outta the bronx ny he has a gt350r kona blue and hes a master with these cars actually he fabricated the front rock fender splash shields custom made check him our sells em on his webstore bro you should reach out to him he love to help you out with ur gt350...
Name it the Jolly Green Giant lol
Lol
They still blow regardless of the Break in lol
Wow a race engine!!!
Lol, fucked over rebuilt Dodge
8:00 it looked like you were reversing
0:11 Is the reason why he sold his Redeye for a ShelbyGT350. No more 🛥 of a car
Picking up my Heritage Edition today. Thanks for the video. Your break in method is exactly the same as when I used to build motors back in the 70’s! Makes me feel much more secure hearing your method is the same!
I'm unsubscribing I'll subscribe again after a thousand miles
I've never driven a stick so bear with me, does this means you never get out of 3rd gear for the first 100 miles or when in 3rd you get to 4000 rpm's let off the gas and shift to 4the gear and do the same until you are in 6th gear on the freeway, my dealer is like 150 miles from away
Just vary the RPMs up to 4,000 and go through the gears. Just make sure to accelerate and de accelerate
Another great video man!
Ion know about it sounding better than a hellcat but its definitely nice!
Love my 2018 gt350...took it easy the first 1000 then changed the oil..
No oil consumption no slap. Im at 7k now
Excellent! Good break in for sure
You forgot to include the maro 1le& zl1 into the things that they need to look out for on the track lol the maro is the best track car for the track , comparing the big 3 brands
facts.... the gen 5 z28 and gen 6 zl1 1le are weapons on the track
It's hard keeping your foot off the gas pedal. Especially when all the action is above 3K RPM. One thing that helped me was setting the shift light to 3K RPM during the break in period. That gave me enough time to see the lights flash before I hit 4K RPM.
Yea it helps for sure!
Congratulations on your new ride and I see you really enjoy it!
George Manos thanks george! I am definitely loving the car!
A lot of guys probably leave the dealership and immediately shift to redline
Unfortunately yes.
Nice car bro. Looks good with the black roof.
Thanks brotha!
2019 R owner here, wanted to get your thoughts... I’m just over 100
Miles, my first 65 miles were mostly around town driving, varying speeds, I almost always rev match down shift. The other 20 or so miles were on the high way a bit where I did get into higher speeds 80-90mph....i never really sustained more than 10 miles of steady speed.. I never once revved above 4K.. how do you think I did?
Hey Gianni! Did you do any de-accel from 4K? If not you did pretty good. Since your below 200 miles do that a bunch of times.
Driveway Demons hey yes, there was definitely some de-accel naturally from just driving and having to slow down. I’ll do some more in the next 100 miles. I’ll prob continue to be conservative with the revs for another 150 miles. I also give the car very light gas. I may start going to half throttle, getting up to 4K a little quicker.. still mostly babying the car and not doing any long runs on the highway at sustained 2.5k rpm for tens of miles at a time. Good luck with your new ride!
I just got the car this past Friday and I’m so happy to know I’ve been breaking it in almost properly. Im at 304.7 as of today. Should I still follow what you do for the first 100 miles?
Liking this Video so I can come back in a month when I get my GT350 delivered!
Is there any else do you recommend about the breakin in procedure? I really dont want to have any problems down the line.
u look like you have 16 years old without the beard lol
Haha I take that as a compliment 💪🏻😊
Break in.. period Oh you're mr. Responsible now
Broke all my cars in the same way including my Redeye which I did videos on as well....:
Mark's Snakepit not sure what your even talking about 😂
@@DrivewayDemons The dudes a moron. Ignore this turd corey.
👍 Just subscribed, just found ur channel, enjoyed it and i gotta say beautiful Mustang you have there. Anyway great video keep'em coming. 🇺🇸
Pro tip. Your foam temp fix, will make the gravel stop from resting on your lower side skirts. It won’t help at all on the rear qtr panels. I had a black 2017 and had those foam inserts too. My rear qtr panels were destroyed in the first 1k Miles.
You MUST get the front mud flaps ASAP
I’m gonna get them for sure
Your garage is a mess you need an upgrade to make it look good for your channel
He owns a crazy ass car lol I’m pretty sure he forget he even had to clean it up
Nice man congratz on the stang love those my ex gfs dad has 16 gt350 in black, yours is sicker
ElReyDominicano612 thanks brotha! 💪🏻💪🏻
@@DrivewayDemons no doubt stay safe
We both are in or near hot zones
I agree, v8 mustangs are the best sounding cars out there. I can always tell when a mustang is coming down the road.
For sure! They have a distinct sound. I love it
Hi new subscriber here and I'm a big fan of mustang bought my first new car in 1986 Ford LX mustang with the GT package and now I'm looking to buy my second new car a GT350 next year it will be my early
retirement present . Looking forward to see what your doing with yours! Oh how does this sound for a name mean Green machine?
Hey John! Thanks for watching and subscribing! Congrats on getting your GT350! Good name for sure!
You are too well spoken, and exhibit too much common sense for TH-cam. I know of four Shelby owners and none of them have had any issues. Nice job.
Appreciate it randy 🙏
Good videos dude. I think i share the same love of this car. Ever since they launched it, this is my dream car. One day i hope too make it happen
Hell yea Matt! Definitely will love driving it!
The car looks and sounds sick bro love it. What do you think of the manual Hellcat or the manual 392? I like to get one of the two but I'm not going to the drag strip a lot. I think for a street car the manual will be more fun. What you think
Thanks bro! I say Manual is definitely more fun and if you can drive it very well then you won’t lose a whole lot of time either.
@@DrivewayDemons well I have driven a lot of manual cars, pickup trucks, and I'm a truck driver that have driven 8 speeds all the way to 18 speed semis for a living so I'm ok at driving manuals. Lmao but I know I'm not the best. Thanks for the input. Can't wait to see more of the gt350
Hearing this fucking exhaust never gets old not even a little bit
Thanks, david! I agree 100%
Hey I’m getting into a 2018 gt350 but has had a manufacturer buyback for the oil consumption and the gauges not working… it has two recalls and shows they got it serviced…. What is your opinion on buying it or step away from it..
By the way it has 43k Miles on it now
I also wanted to say. There are a handful of GT350's, a couple from youtuber channels too. Bought low mileage, maybe 1000 miles or less. They experienced engine failure shortly after.
If someone buys new, then sells with less than 1000 miles on it, you can bet they at least redlined it a few times before sale. Maybe ran hard from the beginning.
Sure, however 2019+ is top notch as long as it's broken in
@@DrivewayDemons Tunnel Chaser has a 2019. Bought low miles. His blew up shortly after.
I think all years are pretty good if broken in.
