ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATION
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full
synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
ENGINE AND INTERCOOLER COOLANT
The concentration and level of coolant should be checked at the mileage
intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance information.The coolant
concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and water, which
equates to a freeze point of -36°C (-34°F). Coolant concentration testing
is possible with a hydrometer or antifreeze tester (such as the Rotunda
Battery and Antifreeze Tester, 0014–R1060). The level of coolant should
be maintained at the “cold fill range” level in the coolant reservoir. If the
level falls below, add coolant per the instructions in theAdding coolant
section.
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
50/50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•freeze protection down to -36°C (-34°F).
•boiling protection up to 129°C (265°F).
•protection against rust and other forms of corrosion.
•an accurate temperature readout from the engine coolant
gauge.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Shelby GT500 carries the same warranty as other Ford Mustang
models. This information is covered in its entirety in the Ford Motor
Company Warranty Guide.
Warranty service for the Shelby GT500 or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
modifications are recommended:
•Install transmission oil cooler. Permanent damage to the transmission
will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without
installation of a transmission oil cooler.
•Install rear differential cooler. Permanent damage to the rear
differential will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition
conditions without installation of a differential cooler.
•Install Ford Racing brake cooling duct kit. Excessive brake wear will
occur if the vehicle is subjected to competitive conditions without
installation of a brake cooling kit.
Additionally, perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined
in the 150,000 mile (240,000 km) Normal Maintenance Schedule of the
scheduled maintenance informationbefore and after track use. Refer
to the Vehicle Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraft service parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
