Page 215 • If the oil level is between the lower and upper holes, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL. • If the oil level is below the lower hole, add enough oil to raise the level within the lower and upper holes. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 216 • Oil levels above the upper hole may cause engine damage. Some oil must be removed from the engine by an authorized dealer. 7. Put the indicator back in and ensure it is fully seated. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 217 To protect your engine’s warranty use Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 or an equivalent SAE 5W-30 oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C929-A. Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that is not covered by Ford warranty.
Page 218 Change your engine oil according to the appropriate schedule listed in the scheduled maintenance information. Ford production and aftermarket (Motorcraft) oil filters are designed for added engine protection and long life. If a replacement oil filter is used that does not meet Ford material and design specifications, start-up engine noises or knock may be experienced.
Page 219: Battery
Maintenance and Specifications It is recommended you use the appropriate Motorcraft oil filter (or another brand meeting Ford specifications) for your engine application. BATTERY Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service.
Page 220 If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed, the clock and the preset radio stations must be reset once the battery is reconnected. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 221: Engine Coolant
50–50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following: • Freeze protection down to -34°F (-36°C). • Boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C). • Protection against rust and other forms of corrosion. • Enables calibrated gauges to work properly. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 222 Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 223 Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan. • Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such as Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D, with the factory-filled coolant. Mixing Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or any orange-colored extended life product with your factory filled coolant can result in degraded corrosion protection.
Page 224 Recycled engine coolant Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles originally equipped with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
Page 225 Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 226 1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine. 2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer. 3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Running out of fuel Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components.
Page 232 For consistent results when filling the fuel tank: • Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off position prior to refueling, an error in the reading will result if the engine is left running. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 233 Habits • Smooth, moderate operation can yield up to 10% savings in fuel. • Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fuel economy. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 234 • Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks) may reduce fuel economy. • Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy. 2007 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 235 If other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts are used for maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting emission control, such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability.
