ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK
MINA
MAX
B
ENGINE OIL CHECK
Note: Use a thick cloth to protect your hand
when removing the oil tank cap and dipstick.
To check the engine oil level consistently
and accurately, do the following:
1. Make sure the parking brake is on. Make
sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N).
2. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature (Coolant
temperature of 190°F (87.7°C) or
higher).
3. Turn the engine off and wait two to three minutes.
4. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
5. Open the rear hatch. See
Opening
and Closing the Hood (page 150).
6. Unscrew the oil tank cap to remove the
dipstick and wipe it with a clean,
lint-free cloth. See
Under Hood
Overview (page 152). 7. Replace the cap and dipstick and
remove it again to check the oil level.
See
Engine Oil Dipstick (page 153).
8. Make sure that the oil level is between
the minimum and the maximum marks.
If the oil level is at the minimum mark,
add oil immediately. See
Capacities
and Specifications (page 200).
9. If the oil level is correct, replace the cap
and dipstick and make sure it is fully
tightened.
Note: Do not remove the dipstick when the
engine is running.
Note: If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.
Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km)
.
Note: High performance vehicles tend to
be driven in such a way the engine
experiences high speed and high load. As a
result, some oil consumption could occur
between oil changes. We recommend that
you check the oil level on a regular basis.
Adding Engine Oil WARNING:
Do not remove the
filler cap when the engine is running. WARNING:
Do not add engine oil
when the engine is hot. Hot engine oil
can burn you badly.
Note: Use a thick cloth to protect your hand
when removing the oil tank cap and dipstick.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
To top up the engine oil level do the
following:
153
Ford GT (CGX) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201810, First-Printing MaintenanceE230019

1. Unscrew the oil tank cap.
2.
Add engine oil by pouring oil that meets
Ford specifications into the oil tank.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 200). You may have to use a
funnel to pour the engine oil into the
opening.
3. Recheck the oil level.
4. If the oil level is correct, replace the cap
and the dipstick and make sure it is
fully tightened.
Note: Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note: Make sure you install the oil tank cap
and dipstick correctly.
Note: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK WARNING:
Never remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
running or hot. WARNING:
Do not put coolant in
the windshield washer reservoir. If
sprayed on the windshield, coolant could
make it difficult to see through the
windshield. WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark. Check the concentration and level of the
coolant only when the engine is cold at the
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 271).
Note: Make sure that the coolant level is
between the
MIN and MAXmarks on the
coolant reservoir when the engine is cold.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
The coolant reservoir is behind an access
panel on the left side of the of the engine
compartment. The cold MIN / MAX are
located on the front inboard corner of the
coolant reservoir. MAX is located just
below where the black top meets the
translucent reservoir lower. MIN is located
3/4 inch (20 mm) below the black top. Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.

Operating at High Speeds and on
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving. Follow the
guidelines for breaking in the tires and
powertrain before operating your vehicle
at high speeds or on a track. See
Breaking-In (page 127).
Note: Obey all traffic laws and only operate
your vehicle at locations designed to do so
safely.
Note: For a detailed description of what
your vehicle's New Limited Warranty covers,
see the Ford GT Warranty Guide provided
to you along with your owner's manual.
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds, follow these guidelines:
Overall Vehicle Preparation:
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
or tires.
• Torque the wheel lug nuts to the proper
specification:
150 lb.ft (204 Nm).
• Inspect all aerodynamic grilles and
cooling system components for
damage. Make sure there is no debris
or non-factory installed protective
films or equipment that could obstruct
airflow.
• Verify your tires have the correct tire
pressure. See the section that follows
for tire pressure specifications.
• Do not operate your vehicle at high
speeds while carrying cargo. Brake System Preparation:
•
Your vehicle has carbon ceramic brake
rotors that require extra care and
inspection methods including
measuring their weight and reviewing
the surface condition.
• Inspect the brake system for wear or
damage. Replace worn or below
specification brake pads, rotors or
cooling hoses. Make sure that the cross
drilling holes in the rotors are open and
free of debris.
• Prior to track use, replace the brake
fluid with fresh Motorcraft/Ford DOT
4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or
other DOT compliant fluid with a dry
boiling point greater than
500°F
(260°C) from a sealed container. Do
not use silicone or DOT 5 brake fluids.
Powertrain Preparation:
• Make sure the engine oil, coolant,
transmission fluids and hydraulic
system fluid have received proper
maintenance, are clean and are at the
appropriate capacity.
• Allow the powertrain to warm up and
reach normal operating temperature.
Your vehicle has electronic controls to
reduce power or limit engine RPM to
reduce powertrain temperatures if
required.
• Regularly check the engine oil level
during the event. Maintain the engine
oil level at or near the max mark on the
engine oil dipstick.
See Engine Oil
Check (page 153).
Note: To obtain service, please contact the
Ford GT Concierge and they will advise you
of the nearest Certified Ford GT Service
Dealership.
