The type of oil recommended for the 2006 Ford Mustang varies based on the engine it has. For the 4.0 L V6 engine, it is best to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil, while the 4.6 L V8 engine requires 5W-20 Synthetic oil. The oil capacity is 5 quarts with a filter for the 4.0 L V6 and 6 quarts with a filter for the 4.6 L V8 engine. The torque specification for the drain plug is 19 ft/lbs for the 4.0 L V6 and 18 ft/lbs for the 4.6 L V8. It's important to change the oil regularly because it deteriorates over time. In the case of the Mustang, the oil and filter should be replaced every 12 months or whenever the oil life indicator prompts you to do so.
