I appreciate that! I want to continue bringing out content that will share my experiences taking care of this awesome machine, and some things that will improve the driving experience!

Good job, GT350....dream car for sure. Well done.

Thank you! Yes it is a special car!

The diff oil on the Gt350 from the factory after the additive is added is extremely dark in color brand new

Always a good idea to fill the oil filter with oil ( as much as possible) before installing. Prevents starvation on first start. Wish my 16 had this style of filter.

Found out you can prime the oil pump by pushing gas pedal in, then clutch, press start and oil will prime without starting the engine.

Cool video bro

I use the top of a compostable yard bag works perfect. But your form funnel is cool too

I love working on my own car's!!

Hey my 17 Shelby only has 16k miles would you recommend changing the diff fluid already?

Why do you unscrew the drain plug instead of removing the retaining clip and pulling the hose out? This way you don't have to unscrew the plug.

The friction modifier is not needed when using the severe gear amsoil, it's already got the required modifier in it

Yes I found that out after I bought everything. The representative at Amsoil told me it’s not needed unless you hear knocking. He let me know it didn’t hurt to use it since I already had it.

Which size oil drain funnel did you get, 14.5" or 19.7"? Thank you for the info!

@avzwhips5536

I have the 14.5"

I use Redline oils..

Remember to drive the car in a figure 8 after you're done installing the new diff oil and slip lock. Also you may want to change it one or two more times to flush out the motorcraft junk since it doesn't drain the oil cooler. This will be more of a "flush". Amsoil all the way.

I have 1800 on my HEP R and changed my oil at 700 to Amsoil. Had planned to get a second change around 3500 - is your opinion to change the diff oil then as well?

@avzwhips5536

I was very satisfied to know I put Amsoil diff oil in and now I have peace of mind that I'm running oil that I truly believe in...the oil was really dirty so in my opinion it was well worth it, we'll see what the Amsoil looks like after 6 months.

Whats the torque spec on the engine oil filter?

Where did you get the plastic hose to fill the diff fluid?

@avzwhips5536

It came with the pump from Amsoil website.

When did you add the friction modifier? Before or after diff fluid?

@avzwhips5536

I added it half way through.

What was the torque spec for the oil filter? And can you link all of the tools?

@avzwhips5536

The torque spec for the oil filter calls for 16-19 ft lbs.

Why did you change the differential fluid after only 1800 miles? I have a 17 Z06 w/ 7,000 miles on it. Do I need to change the differential fluid on it?

@avzwhips5536

3 жыл бұрын

The main reason was I wanted to get Amsoil fluid in the differential, as you see in the video the original fluid was very dirty. I was very happy that I did change it. In another 3,000 miles I'm going to change it again to see how the oil looks.

Seems like a huge waste of time ^

Good video but when filling with new gear oil, oil should not come out of fill whole . Gear oil level should be around 9mm lower then fill hole. At least thats what is on my 2017 gt350 when i did my research

Great point, but I don't know if the manual accounts for the additional Slip Lock additive amount that he added.

Not too hard.....if you have access to a lift.

Yes the lift made it extremely easy! Check out any places where you live that rent out lift bays by the hour...that's what I did.

It's fine you change diff fluid. But it's overkill. In gt350 manual instruction to change diff and manual transition fluid every 150,000 mi. On my Audi S4 it doesn't need to change diff fluid at all, it's for life of the car.

If you read the “track” manual for the GT350/R it should be changed every 500 miles of track use. I do track my car, if someone doesn’t then yes it wouldn’t be necessary.

The lighting in the differential is absolutely terrible . You can't see anything !
