How to Change the Oil in Your Ford Mustang

Using your vehicle's oil dipstick, check the oil fluid level. Make sure it is within the recommended range. If it is, you can safely start the vehicle up. If not, first check to make sure the vehicle is on a level surface. Do not put extra oil in your vehicle immediately. First investigate to make certain the vehicle is truly low on oil. Overfilling your Mustang with oil can cause serious problems.

Tip: When you’ve completed your oil change, note the mileage and the date in your owner’s manual. These maintenance records will come in handy if you ever plan to sell your ride. They can also serve as a reminder of when it’s time to change your oil again.

You've finished changing the oil in your Mustang. Congratulations!

Note: This oil change was conducted on a 2002 3.8L Mustang. The location of both the oil filter and the oil-drain plug will vary depending on the model of Mustang.
