My 2008 Mustang GT/CS has a little over 72,000 miles on it. I've gone to the same mechanic for over twenty years and have a high level of trust in him. My questions and request have nothing to with lack of trust, it's his opinion. He suggests that I not wait and do the 100,000 service now.
I bought it truly from the "little old lady from Pasadena". There's no service history records that came with the car. Family sold the car to help pay convalescent home care. When I bought it, my mechanic went over the car finding absolutely nothing wrong, discovered all new brakes and new tires. The car's appearance implies it's been garaged and taken care of.
Because of a prior post on this site about the two piece and single piece spark plugs and when Ford went to the single piece plug in 2008. I did some research and found it got down to the month your car was assembled in 2008. According to my build date I should have had the two pieces but had plugs pulled and they were single piece. I don't know if the previous owner had the two-piece replaced or Canada was putting them in earlier than the US. (Car assembled in Canada).
There are many knowledgeable Mustang owners on this site. I'm hoping for some tips on things that definitely should be checked, replaced, etc.
And, opinions as to doing it now or waiting until the 100,000-mile mark.
Thanks
