2020 FORD GT engine oil

Cooling system
•
Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
• Connect your vehicle to the battery
charger/maintainer provided with your
vehicle whenever you store your vehicle
for more than 2 weeks.
• Connect the wires as shown in the
illustration. See Changing the 12V
Battery (page 167).
Brakes
• Make sure the brakes and parking brake
release fully.
Tires
• To minimize flat spots on the tires,
inflate all four tires to the
recommended cold pressures listed on
the Safety Compliance Certification
label or Tire Label. When the vehicle is
taken out of storage, reset the tire
pressures as necessary to the
recommended levels listed on the
Safety Compliance Certification label
or Tire Label affixed to your vehicle.
Note: If you store your vehicle in a location
with low ambient temperatures, follow the
instructions for care of summer tires. See
Using Summer Tires
(page 201).
Miscellaneous
• Move vehicles at least
25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent flat spots in the tires. Removing Vehicle From Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
•
Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt
or grease film build-up on window
surfaces.
• Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.
• Check under the hood and engine cover
for any foreign material that may have
collected during storage such as mice
or squirrel nests.
• Check the exhaust for any foreign
material that may have collected
during storage.
• Check tire pressures and set tire
inflation per the Tire Label.
• Check brake pedal operation. Drive
your vehicle
15 ft (4.5 m) back and
forth with the brake lightly applied.
• Check fluid levels (including coolant,
oil and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.
See an authorized dealer if you have any
concerns or issues.
BODY STYLING KITS
The distance between the underside of
your vehicle and the ground is less than
that of other models. Drive with extreme
care to avoid damage to your vehicle.

is not available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
our specification WSS-M2C931-C such as
Motorcraft® 5W-50 labeled with API SN
service category.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage not
covered by your vehicle warranty.

Oils and Fluids
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair.
