Oil capacity and break pads......

[1Fast R]

I was asked to ask the guys exactly how much oil our Rs hold and where to get the brake pads for it. He changed the oil and added in 8 new quarts but the dip stick says it could use more! Another quart?

We want to go with lighter brake pads as we are not racing our car.

Thanks, Vicki

Vicki,
Yes, Mine always gets 9 quarts on a oil change.

I have run hawk plus pads on my normal cobra and was very happy with them. They would be alot easier on the rotors and after they have been bedded would dust less than the originals. You can buy them at many of the web performance stores. Just beware, there are many grades of Hawk pads, the ones you want are the "plus"

Try Hawk Brake. They have a low dust pad

my car takes 9 1/4 qts of oil. i think the dipstick is for a standard stang and they eveidently didn't extended it for the canton pan

i still use my galphers for street and track (altho i'll probably change for the track next year)
