newbie first oil change
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 :tup |
you'll be glad you got a stang...synthetic is your best choice in my opinion.. :tup

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!
