That's all and good. I am just saying that 5w30 will not hurt our mustangs. If it did I wouldn't be here bragging about having 210,800 miles and I still run it just as hard as anytime I have had it. Just drove it to mustang week in Myrtle Beach put 1600 miles on it. I played a lot over there turned over 6 thousand ram's several times and it is still going strong. If you want to stick with 5w20 then by all means do so. If you decide to go to 5w30 after 100,000 miles like I did it WILL NOT HURT IT.

Well as far as repair work since I bought the car off the showroom, I replaced the intake 5 years ago due to a crack. I had to put in a new fuel pump 4 years ago. And 7 years ago the carrier bearing in the rear end went out so I had all the bearings in the rear replaced. I just had the fluid and filter replaced in the trans and the pan was clean as a new one, not one bit of trash or residue at all. I was amazed at that. But I do have the fluid and filter changed every 50,000 miles whether it needs it or not. Of course normal brake wear. And I replace the plugs with factory motor craft every 80,000. Oh and new shocks. That's about it.

Best advice is change oil and filter at regular intervals. I personally run 5/20 in cooler times of the year. And in the heat of summer I run 15/40. One thing I like on the newer GT's is the fact they hold 8 qts of oil. Very nice on a performance car.

Yes and the 4.6 takes 6 not 5 like the manual says. That is for the 99 to 04.

96GT, 124,000. Rebuilt at 110,000 because of a noise that sounded like a B B bouncing around inside of the running motor. Turned out to be the D side timing chain adjuster failed. Im looking forward to hitting 300,000 someday. Especially since i did the rebuild myself and I trust my work. First 4.6 rebuild. Seemed difficult at first. But now it seens like the easiest thing in the world to do.

I only rebuilt for the extra 60+ horses plus another 20-30 extra from the rest of the mods  So worth it. Major difference in pull and torque !!))
