Question: How often should I change the fluids in my Mustang?
Answer: Folks often ask me questions about Mustang service schedules. This usually begins with "How often should I..." followed by "because so and so says." Well, one of the best places to find the answers to these questions is the Ford Owners Website.

Here's how it works. First you create a user ID and password by selecting Ford Vehicle Owner Login. Next you add your Mustang to your virtual garage by entering your vehicle's VIN number. You can then access all kinds of useful information about your Mustang, including those ever so popular service schedule intervals. You can also check for any recalls that may exist for your ride. If you want, you can even schedule a service appointment online or review previous Ford Dealership service appointments.

My favorite feature is the downloadable vehicle documentation area which includes vehicle warranty forms, the owner's manual for your car, and your vehicle's scheduled maintenance guide. All are printable and can also be saved as PDF files.

For more information, check out the Ford Owners Website.
