Default oil change coming up

What oil do I use on a 93 2.3 notch? It has 12000 miles on the clock.

Either he has extremely low mileage for a 17 year old car and high mileage oil is not necessary, or was a typo and has 120000 miles which is still low for the age of the car! If the car is leaking oil and you have replaced the gaskets go with a heavier oil to prevent leaks! If not 10w40 I believe was common for your vintage

My 2.3 93 takes 5w30, so does my 90 5.0 GT.

His climate will have alot to do with oil viscosity

Nice 2010 Mustang btw
