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

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.

SPECIAL OPERATING
CONDITIONS SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
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 2,500 mi (4,000 km).
Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air
Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter and cabin air
filter is dependent on exposure to dusty
and dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in
these conditions require frequent
inspection and replacement of the engine
air filter and cabin air filter.
Operating at High Speeds and
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving. Your GT has
electronic controls to reduce power and
limit the RPM to reduce powertrain
temperatures if operating temperatures
are exceeded.
Before Operating Your Vehicle at High
Speeds:
•
Verify your tires have the correct
pressures See Technical
Specifications (page 206).
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
and tires.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 206).
• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake,
and hydraulic fluid. See Maintenance
(page
157).
• Change the oil and filter prior to use on
the track.
After Operating Your vehicle at High
Speeds and Track Day Driving, Do the
Following:
• Set tire pressures to specification.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 206).
• Check all fluid levels.
• If you drive your car for an extended
period of time at high speed or on the
track for an extended time, change the
oil and filter.
