2022 FORD MUSTANG recommended oil

Note:
The adjustable camber front strut
mounts are fitted with three set screws that
must be removed before camber can be
adjusted. If you cannot adjust the camber,
please see your authorized dealer or call
800– 367–3788 for more details to remove
the set screws.
Aerodynamics (If Equipped)
Rear Gurney Flap The rear Gurney flap must be removed
for on-road driving. Your vehicle may include a removable
Gurney flap in the luggage compartment.
The Gurney flap greatly enhances high
speed stability and performance on the
track. It is recommended that you use the
Gurney flap at all tracks featuring high
speed corners and can be used at any track
regardless of cornering speeds.
You could benefit from the removal Gurney
flap to improve low speed balance on
smaller tracks with maximum cornering
speeds below
70 mph (112 km/h). We
recommend that you attach the Gurney
flap for all track events and carefully
assess both the vehicle's condition and
your capability before removal. Note:
The Gurney flap comes with longer
size bolts to install it onto the rear spoiler.
Do not use the longer size bolts without
the Gurney flap attached or damage to
the spoiler may occur.

Engine Oil An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
ILSAC.
We recommend Motorcraft® motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft® oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that display
the API Certification Mark for gasoline
engines.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that your
vehicle warranty does not cover.

alternative engine oil in extremely cold
climates, where the ambient temperature
reaches -22.0°F (-30°C) or below.

Under normal operating conditions, a
message appears in the information
display to indicate the regular oil
change interval.
• Under severe operating conditions, the
oil change interval may reduce, and the
message interval may adjust.
High performance vehicles can be driven
in such a way that may lead to higher oil
consumption (this includes extended time
at high engine speeds, high loads, engine
braking, hard cornering maneuvers, and
track use). Under these conditions, oil
consumption of approximately 1 quart per
500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible.
As a result, the engine oil level needs to be
checked at every refueling and adjusted to
maintain proper level to avoid engine
damage.
Note: Oil level should not exceed the
maximum mark on the indicator. See
Engine Oil Check (page 38).
When the oil change message appears in
the information display, it is time for an oil
change. Make sure you perform the oil
change within two weeks or
500 mi
(800 km) of the message appearing. Make
sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor after each oil change.
If your information display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or
5,000 mi (8,000 km) from
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
or
10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil
change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle. Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
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.

This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil

Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Axle Maintenance
Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is
submerged in water.
If you receive an axle overtemperature
warning message in the information
display and a wrench warning indicator
appears, you should change the rear axle
fluid at the next convenient time. The
wrench warning indicator turns off when
you switch off your vehicle.
Timing Chain
If you use your vehicle extensively at a
racetrack or at high rpm, it is possible to
exceed the service life of the engine timing
chain. A wrench indicator light will
illuminate when it is time for you to replace
your chain. See an authorized dealer. California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.
Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using an
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal
oil change interval is 3,000 mi (4,800 km).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
1,800 mi (2,900 km)
