Hello everyone,
I just got my 2014 Mustang GT with the Track package. After reading through the owners manual I see that it says the 5.0 with Track Pack calls for 5w50 ( seems reasonable with how hot these guys seem to get) yet my car has an oil cap that states 5w20 (not what I want to put in there). I purchased the maintenance plan with the vehicle which as you know includes oil changes. A few things bother me about this...the car probably has 5w20 in it (not a fan of that) and the maintenance interval is 7500 miles (ridiculous if you ask me). I am worried when i take it to the dealer they will put 5w20 in it no matter what I ask for since the oil cap says 5w20. I also would like to know if they will change the oil sooner upon request (I'd like every 5k with 5w50) I didn;t get this car to drive it like an old woman...I want to have fun and know the motor will last. In my 03 Lancer Evolution I changed it every 3k miles and I put 10w40 in it (factory called for 10w30) I did my own since the car wasn't under warranty and I didn't pay for a maint. plan. I beat on the Evo but I also took care of it and never missed or extended an oil change. I got the car with ~35k miles on it and when i sold it for the Mustang it had ~140k on it and had great compression across all four cylinders (155 to be exact).
Thanks for your time
