FYI, I have the 5BW 6 speed and at 2000 miles I had my local dealer change engine oil, trans oil and rear diff oil. I do not track it BUT keep my cars a long time. The maintenance you do entirely depends on how you use the car and how long you plan to keep it.
I worked with Ashley. I’ll be there Jan 23-24.

Thanks, and it is a good question. In my past experience with brand new cars the alignment is usually off from specification from the factory, even though you may not be able to feel it when driving. This can of course cause premature tire wear and I did not want to take the chance with this...
Had the 5 BW aligned today. 2023 with 5,100 miles. Did they do it correctly and was it bad to begin with? I do not want a track alignment. Car drove fine before and feels fine after. No noticeable difference. Thanks for any comments and advice.
It is the manual. I have probably changed manual trans fluid a couple dozen times in my life and it is kind of fun as long as you have drain plug. This Tremec 6060 does, however I had the dealer change it, and the rear diff and engine oil. They did use OEM trans fluid, which happens to be AT...
It really comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. I typically keep cars well over 100k miles so change oil (synthetic) at about 7,500 mile intervals. But honestly I think it is very rare for someone to sell a car because the engine is worn out now a days so I’m sure you could go...
I went to that Florida dealer this summer when I was first shopping for a 5BW. Non negotiable $20k dealer adjustment. I walked out and went to another local dealer and got a 5BW off the lot for MSRP, but paid for dealer-added window tinting (which I wanted anyway here in Florida). Keep...
Hard to do. Great job. What about clutch, trans, drive shaft, diff & axles. Can they handle the added power and torque? Extra power will always find the weakest link. I know there is some robust drivetrain components on these cars but this a lot of additional power.
I now have 3,500 miles on my 2023 5BW and have had zero issues with it. Very pleased with that. I’m curious if others on this board have had any problems and did the warranty cover it? I’m guessing that about 99.9% of folks on this board are still under warranty.
Please, if you would, share...
