I put aluminum foil over the suspension, steering rack and lines to keep the oil filter oil from draining all over and making a mess....works great and easy clean up!!
My brother and I did the double gasket oil change in our parents' garage as well. Only happened that one time, but I'm forever scarred. I crouch down and stare at the oil filter for about 5 minutes after every oil change now 😂
@greatcolor I check to make sure it is NOT on the engine at this point, but same concept. Even so, the paranoia created from seeing a flood of oil spewing underneath the car as a teenager will haunt me forever 🤣
@greatcolor you're right. That's way worse. But also another reason on my mind for why I stare at my fresh oil filter for 5 minutes as a final check for each oil change now lol
If you get a piece of cardboard you can stick it up under your oil filter so when you change it it wont get any of those power steering lines or rack oily. Just a tip from someone who has done it on these cars for a while
Just an fyi, Royal purple Synchromax or amsoil manual synchromesh trans fluid are imo the best fluids you can run in a t56, 3550, tko500/600, t45, 3650, t5 and tkx. I specialize in 79-04 mustangs and either fluid goes in all my cars and all of my customer cars that have manual transmissions.
Penrite make a specific gear oil for the T56 pro gear full synthetic 70W-75 and provides much better shifts than any of the auto trans fluid options available imho...at least in Australia anyway
Thanks. Honestly, no not at this time. I'd have to raise it up to take it to the track lol. I built it for fun street driving so I've got a full street driving video coming next week. I have my 640whp C6 Z06 for track and street
In 2014 I bought a 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 with only 4,002 original miles. It had last been registered in 1991. It still had the stock tires on it. They were so hard the mechanic had to cut them off.
Can you do a review on the Continental tires you purchased? I’m on the fence about getting them for my 10th Anniversary as well, with the stock wheels. Thanks!
@@itsreallyjakubnice! What size did you go with? 275s all around? I’m currently running Nitto 555Rs and I’m wondering if they’ll appear narrower than the Nittos (275s)

I’d check the transmission fluid again. If you filled it cold then when it’s at operating temperature the fluid is going to expand and be overfilled. You should get it to operating temperature and then put it back on the ramp and check it again. Then allow it to drain out until it becomes a drip.
I continue to forgive you guys for peddling Tim Horton's despite the fact that there are obvious better alternatives because you're cool. Can't wait for the build!
Ive gotten like this last few years. I get a side project but drive around car for a bit and clean it up to my liking and sale it. make a profit or not its all good.
@@itsreallyjakub I'm excited. I run a bunch of MM parts. Their coil-over kit and control arms up front, FL Subframe connectors, and rear lower-control arms (SRA swapped) Making 800whp with a Whipple, their shit holds together really well!
For the record in a straight the cobra was faster because it was under rated at 390ph from factory and the corvette was 405hp. So after you do all these tune-ups i say get a dyno done to it to see where it is it. I still have not ever had this car and i had 5 mustangs in my life,if i waited 1 more year instead i could have bought one instead of getting the 96 cobra i had years ago.( O wait i got to the end of the video and you are doing a dyno run,lol)
So you have the best sounding GM engine and the best sounding Ford engine. Now for the best sounding Dodge, but be careful with the Hellcats because a cheap one was probably stolen.
@@greatcolor I love vipers, I really do, but its the 2nd least good sounding V10. Still good, especially stroked to 9L, but the blower whine for miles hellcat engines definitely take the Dodge crown.

There's no way a stock Cobra would beat a stock C5 ZO6. The Cobra at roughly 420 real crank horsepower and weighing 3600 lbs, doesn't have the dimensions to beat the Corvette, which weighs less than the Cobra and has 405 horsepower, which is more than enough to motivate it past a Terminator Cobra, no problem. So, you're either making stuff up or you need to do a driver mod with an honest outcome. If I'm wrong, post a video proving such.
Never had oil come out of the drain plug like that…..on any car let alone my Cobra. Were they running 0-16? Lol… fill the blower until it comes out the fill hole…..seriously? This is comical.
Y’all excited for this build series? All the parts have been ordered 😈. “Stock” dyno run should be happening next week then the fun begins

We all need a mechanic like Ben

Well done on the weight loss! You look fit and healthy
Thanks!

Haha that’s smart
Look into full tilt boogie rear suspension upgrade it’s the first thing i did to my 03 when I got mine
I went to Ben at Dixie Bloor the best mechanic and an amazing person
Thanks buddy it was a pleasure meeting you 🇨🇦
Really enjoying your content with Ben. The wizards cooler little brother vibes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with his own channel.
I suggested he start one but he’s too busy
I love videos like this. We need more!! Maintenance is so much more relatable than big mods or engine building tbh
More relatable “normal” build stuff coming on this car. Dyno video
Is that a 10th anniversary edition for the cobra because my 04 is a 40th anniversary edition

As an 03 Sonic blue cobra owner I approve of this build. Nice price you got it for as well especially being a 10th anniversary
Right on, dyno video coming
@@itsreallyjakub Excellent!!
I never see TotalEnergies Future oil used, any reason you went that route? Interested to hear your thoughts!
Up to the fill hole is enough supercharger oil. It's actually bad to overfill the SC oil as well
Yeah I was really trying not to overfill it as it will foam up. I think we nailed it
I used the same delco oil in my cobra. Pretty sure I filled it until it started to drain out, it’s been several years since and it’s been fine.
That’s a beefy looking alternator😂😂
Any video with Rex in it is a good video.
Owned two 03 cobras, suggest you get the full tilt boogie racing IRS kit....wheel hop cure and your half shafts will thank you.
Love the series my dream car is a Mustang GT I plan on getting one next year ❤🎉
I really might just be late but what happened with the c6 zo6?
Nothing! I’m just enjoying driving it reliably haha. Lots of cobra content now because I’m modding it
@itsreallyjakub awesome to hear...maybe yall can make an update video on it one day? Love the content. Thanks
@@kylephipps8989 I did an update on it 2 months ago on this channel

I didn’t realize that the sing-songy, “Hmmm, how do we want to do this?” was a universal response.
What transmission oil did you use??
Did you go to Canada to get this? What’s the process to bring one to the states?
I live in Canada
Sweet ride !
😂talking about feet and not the turkey Baster 😂😂😂
What about the differential gear oil?
Been replaced recently. We also mentioned in the video that the diff cover will be resealed and the axle boot replaced. No sense doing it twice
Have you done the fuel filter & spark plugs yet ?
No all that stuff is still coming. After the dyno

I wonder if Ben would be down to work on my S5....looking for a new mechanic.
Listen to the part where we say not to bring him German cars
@@itsreallyjakub yea i commented before that lol
The more AC Delco parts you put in it, the better it will work.
heh kinda cool that 4th gen mustangs are finally getting their mainstream moment since every bit of fox body content has been mined dry
You gor a seiko 5?
Nah skx007
IRS on 2003? I'm assuming this was aftermarket as I thought IRS didn't show up until 2015+, but it looks kinda factory. Who makes this?
Thats how these cars come, they handle quite well considering its a mustang
Yes all the New Edge Cobra’s had stock IRS
Fun video. Very cool car.
It’s a 7 quart oil pan plus half for the new filter
Ive gotten like this last few years. I get a side project but drive around car for a bit and clean it up to my liking and sale it. make a profit or not its all good.
I don’t do that but sounds fun
I heard that Ben’s car is really slow
I heard it doesn’t even run
07 1gr 4runner has the best oil filter situation change my mind

Feet & Cheese is the perfect description for gear oil 😆. What a horrible smell.
🧀🦶
You fill the supercharger until it’s even with the fill hole.
Perfect. Done
Wix XP will kick any oem filters butt for the money.
What a good boy
Did the double gasket once. You really only ever do it once.
Correct. I haven’t done it since either
Gear oil smells so nasty!🤮
And definitely noticed the weight loss man!!!
Hell yeah thanks
Poke a hole in the oil filter with a nail.
I had Tim Hortons in Afghanistan in 2010 at Kandahar air base…So there’s that. I’m from Texas
