newbie first oil change

[gt98]

im a newbie to mustangs because i was a previous owner of a vw vr6... now i got my 98gt and its time for an oil change and i was wondering which oils to use and grade of oil. as well as how many litres u guys put in there my old car would take 4 litres im guessing the mustang would take even more

Check the owners manual if you have it?

Use the recommended grade. My preference is full synthetic.

Mine uses 6 liters, your will probably take 5.

Cheers!

i use mobil 1 10w30. i use 6-7 liters. what engine do you have?
just read your owners manual if you still have it.
synthetic is more$$ but you can wait longer in between oil changes

you'll be glad you got a stang...synthetic is your best choice in my opinion..

For a run of the mill GT, conventional oil will due just fine, if you drive a lot, then consider synthetic. A GT holds 4.5-5L of oil. How many kms?, I'd run a 10w30/40 oil, my preference is Castrol, DO NOT use a Fram filter.

i only got 120 thousand killometres.. i was just thinking of using non synthetic but thinking of using mobil 1

It's really up to you, I use 10w40 Castrol GTX in my '88 5.0 with 230kms, I use 5w30 Castrol Syntec in my '98 Cobra, I have had no problems with either car, the Cobra gets babied, the GT gets DRIVEN, good luck and welcome!

Hey Man, I've got a 97 GT with 79,000 kms. and it takes roughly 5 litres. I've used Quakerstate Peak Performance 5W30 oil for the last 4 years with no problems. I change it every 5 to 6,000 kms and it still looks new!!!

Enjoy the Ride!!!
