Typically this applies when there are major engine or transmission changes. There were some changes to the motor, but nothing major and nothing to do with oil (that I know of).The question here is did the oil pump change with the redesign? If it did not, this problem would have happened regardless of the redesign.

This is completely unsubstantiated. We had a 2011 F-150 5.0 which went 60,000 entirely trouble free miles. That engine was smooth as silk. I know several owners of 5.0L Mustangs (Coyote engine) with more miles than that; no issues.

The oil pump is designed to handle the stock engine as it leaves the factory.
I do not think that you can you can add an aftermarket blower and/or other high performance mods then complain that the stock engine components are weak.

I guess I wasn't clear with my post, sorry. On the coyote engine the oil pump gear is the weakest link when modding especially when you add boost that's why people switch to a billet oil pump gear. But there are severely GT350 owners that are bone stock that the oil pump gears went out on them. Ford knows its a problem but doesn't fix it and continue to use the cheap oil pump gears.
The GT350 is another story if what you are saying is true.

When people buy a mustang do you really think they will keep it stock? lol And yes I'm a member on a few GT350 forums and facebook group and it is a known problem. And a friend of mine has a GT350R has 1100 miles on it bone stock and had a new engine replaced cause the oil pump gear went out. I don't think its the power is the issue with the 5.2L its how high the red line is on that engine.

But that's not Ford's problem. And I would wager that most Mustangs are stock (engine-wise). Just like most Super Duty trucks are kept stock. What you see on fan forums is not the norm.
