Maintenance schedule on 2019 Mustang GT

[Briebee72]

I know this might sound like a obviously stupid question but. When I went looking for the official schedule I had some issues finding it. so on several non ford sites you get all kinds of answers. one said first service at 15K.. Im like thats not right. then on a ford site I saw 10k for first. then I logged into owners site and it told me 20k was my next... all while the dealer is sending me a notice its at 5k. I looked in the manual and it only said do it regular LOL.

So I have a warranty life long on engine and powertrain but its only rule is I keep up with scheduled maintenance. Can anyone kindly point me to a official ford required maintenance intervals for the 2019 Mustang gt and what they entail. I guess I suck at googleing today or something

My Dealer sent me the 'You need Maintenance' 6 month e-mail, six months after purchase, so I scheduled and went in. New counter guy this time, "it only has 1600 miles?" Well, Yeah.

Now, I bet he changed the oil because it was 2 quarts low, and the sticker says to change the oil at 8,621

So the deal is First oil change (synthetic) around/every 7k miles, all the other stuff on the Ford Owner site is the deal they want, so the 20000 mile stuff is on your 3rd oil change (21000 miles) if I can add and you go to the dealer.

Now then, make sure they give you all 10 quarts of oil, they might short ya the last two.

Ive seen more then a few people say they didnt get full 10 quarts on oil. Did older engines that 10 quarts? Its like they dont know or something

If that "lifetime" engine warranty is important to you, then you need to obtain the requirements in the contract. Some say manufacture's recommendations while others may say dealerships recommendations. The dealerships is likely going to have fluid flushes and perhaps tighter intervals.

If that isn't important to you, refer to the owners manual. It's all covered in there.

as I stated I did look in the manual and I could not find it. If you would be so kind to point me to the page? But using the reference in the back under manainece and service it just says regularly.

AS for the dealer I know this is a sceptial bunch but the dealer I got the lifetime from has a one page warranty no small print no stipulations nothing. I can take it to any dealer I want for service as long as at ford's intervals and they cover it.

But back to my question can anyone point me to some sort of official ford service interval for service?

OK never mind I found it , thanks anyway for the info guys.

Look in your 2019 Owners manual in your glove box. It's all in there.
Look under Scheduled Maintenance / Normal Schedule Maintenance
I do oil changes every 5000 miles or less YMMV

I copy and pasted from my 2016 but it should be similar.

Nope. Not walking out to the garage for you. It is in there, just like every other car sold.

lol I see you found it.

You must have found it as I was typing my reply

LOL yes. but it is still not clear to me. I remember when it was 5k this and then 10k that and then 15k that ... in groups. Now its all do what the dash tells you except if there is dust. Then do this but not if rock.. if rocks do that and then also at 15k do a filter unless there is water then do it at 7k but also do the recommended 15k but only at 12k if you tow.. jesus... i so much better liked the at 5k do this at 10k do this at 15k... schedule better.

So according to the manual the only maintenance until 100k miles is change 2 filters (cabin and engine) and the oil changes and inspect stuff. Something does not seem right about that. I remember having cars that needed belts changed, spark plugs, tensioners. all kinds of stuff at 50 and 75k miles. Is the Mustang really that maintenance free? That it needs next to nothing till 100k miles?

Yeah I don't go by what the dash says. I just do Oil changes every 5k or less. I use full synthetic.
I did my air filter and cabin filter at 15k Probably overkill but okay and whatever

Yup ... just change the oil do the other stuff.
When it hits 100k miles it will be the guy in the trailer parks problem ... LOL

( Not that there's anything wrong with trailer parks ... just sayin )

Bingo, 15s-17s take 8 Qts.

 

[Dfeeds]

I guess that brings up a question. Does anyone know, off hand, what parts have grease fittings as opposed to being sealed?

Moved to this sub forum so this info is easier to find for future reference

This may not be any help but this is how I serviced my car since new. Using 5w20 Motorcraft synthetic blend and a Motorcraft filter. First oil changed at 1000 miles/ second 4000 miles/ Third 8000 miles/ forth at 12.000. It may very a few hundred miles both ways but you get the idea.. I will be doing it every 4000 miles from now on..
