I just recentyl bought my mustang and i really havent had time to do my own oil changes lately. I finally have time now due to change in jobs. I was wondering, what do you guys think is the best oil to put in the mustang, and probably a dumb question, but how many quarts do i need?.....first time doing the oil change on the mustang.......by the way its a 04 4.6L GT?.....thanks for the help

Most here use Mobil 1 synthetic oil. And for some stupid reason, you are not going to get a straight answer as to how much you need. Just get 5 quarts to be safe.

Most here use Mobile 1 or Royal Purple.

97 and later takes 6 quarts....and I use Mobil 1, it's pretty expensive but its good stuff.

+1 M1 or RP. And although i have a 97' GT, they are both 4.6 L an so correct me if I'm wrong but both of our cars take 4.9 quarts, rounded up to 5




PS, I changed my oil last week and had a fckin hayday trying to get the oil filter off, it was on there so tight it took my friend and i hour lol. But Im also wondering if anyone can give me an answer as to why my dipstick shows no oil level when i check it. I put in 5 quarts last week after changing the oil and I havent noticed any oil leaking out or burning.

most will say motorcraft but I know that at pep boys if you buy a mobile 1 filter with mobile 1 oil you get like $2.35 off per quart. So you save like 20 bucs
