BASE WARRANTY
Your vehicle carries the same warranty as
other Ford Mustang models. This
information is covered in its entirety in the
warranty information.
Warranty service for your vehicle or any
Ford Performance vehicle can be obtained
at any Ford dealer nationwide.
We do not recommend modifying or racing
(for competition or time) Ford
Performance vehicles, as they are designed
and built to be driven as delivered from the
factory. The warranty information
discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their
effect on warranty coverage.
Additionally, perform multi-point
inspection and the maintenance outlined
in the 150,000 mi (240,000 km) normal
maintenance schedule of the scheduled
maintenance before and after track use.
See the vehicle service manual for removal
and installation procedures. Replace with
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft® service
parts as needed.
Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
What is Not Covered Under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
Damage caused by:
• Abuse, competition, racing, track use
or other events.
• Accidents, crashes or objects striking
the vehicle (including driving through
a car wash).
• Theft, vandalism or riot.
• Fire or explosion.
• Using contaminated or improper fuel
or fluids. •
Customer-applied chemicals or
accidental spills.
• Driving through water deep enough to
cause water to be ingested into any
component, for example powertrain
components.
• Misuse of the vehicle, such as driving
over curbs, overloading or using the
vehicle as a permanent stationary
power source.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.
We have established regular maintenance
intervals for your vehicle based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you
have your vehicle serviced at the proper
times. These intervals serve two purposes;
one is to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is to keep your cost
of owning your vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed and to
make sure that the materials used meet
the specifications identified in this owner's
manual. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 56).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Factory-Trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the
operation of your vehicle. Ask your
dealership about the training and
certification their technicians have
received. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft®
Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)
parts and labor limited warranty.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part, it could affect
emissions compliance.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one
stop shopping. They can perform any
services that are required on your vehicle,
from general maintenance to collision
repairs.
Note:
Not all dealers have extended hours
or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
maintain the proper performance of your
vehicle and its emission control systems,
make sure you have scheduled
maintenance performed at the designated
intervals.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
oil-life monitor that determines oil life
based on engine operating conditions.

Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.Check every month
Engine oil level.
For severe use, high engine speed and engine loads, engine braking and track use, check engine oil level every fuel fill-up.

it is important to have the systems on your

to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.Multi-Point inspection

immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle. NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor that determines when you should
change the engine oil based on how you
use your vehicle. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time.

Axle Maintenance
Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is
submerged in water.

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)
