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!

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.

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!
