I got a new to me 2016 gt convertible 5.0.
The vehicle is in great shape but has 133000 miles. I don’t know much about the history.
what would be the best things to do?
I changed the oil. It has a JLT intake and I ordered a new air filter. I didn’t know about the plugs,wires, manual transmission fluid, rear ended fluid and maybe fuel filter?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If it has a JLT on it, then it also likely has a tune. I would figure out what you have so you know. I would inspect all the fluids before changing them. I bet some have been changed., Won't hurt anything to put all news one in though. Pull a plug and see what it looks like. No fuel filters on these cars. High miles don't mean anything if the car was halfway taken care of. 130,000 on a Coyote is nothing.

Best of luck!!

Agreed, these overhead valve engines, if reasonably maintained can take an absolute shit ton of miles at a pretty high power level. I had 166,000+ miles on my 2009 GT500 with the last 40K+ at 656whp and pegging the boost gauge 1t 16psi. I drove that car hard on the daily and it took it and asked for more.
