1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.2Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or
changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or
the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle
lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has
been submerged in water. Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to
9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of
Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A for complete
refill of Traction-Lok axles.
3The TTC T56 6–Speed transmission on your SVT
Mustang Cobra uses automatic transmission fluid. Ensure
the correct automatic transmission fluid is used as
indicated in the label on your transmission.
4Service refill capacity is determined by filling the
transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with the
vehicle on a level surface.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed
to use“Premium”
unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating
of 91 or higher for optimum performance. The use of
gasolines with lower octane ratings may degrade
performance. We do not recommend the use of
gasolines labeled as“Premium”in high altitude areas
that are sold with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under most driving conditions
while you are using fuel with the recommended
octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified service
technician to prevent any engine damage.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should
be checked at the mileage intervals listed in the
91(R+M)/2 METHOD

IMPORTANT TIRE INFORMATION
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels
and tires designed to enhance performance and
appearance. To continue providing this performance,
extra care must be taken when operating and
maintaining your vehicle.
TIRES
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with low profile, high
performance tires that are designed to optimize
handling, steering and braking to provide the
performance you expect in a SVT vehicle. These
tires are not optimized for off-road or winter
performance, and their ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different than other tires. Also,
because of their lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to damage due to potholes and rough or
unpaved roads. To ensure that your tires perform as
designed, it is important that you maintain your tires
properly:
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to
the tire information placard in the doorjamb or
inside the fuel filler door, using an accurate
gauge.
•Tire pressures are specified“cold”and should be
checked after the vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours. Do not reduce pressure of warm
tires.
•Check your tire pressure often to maintain it
properly. Tire pressure can diminish over time
and fluctuate with temperature.
•Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle
and axle weights are listed on the tire information
placard.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating the
vehicle near its maximum load, including assuring
proper tire pressure and reducing speeds.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating on
rough roads to avoid impacts that could cause tire
damage.
