The 2010 Ford Mustang with a 4.6 liter V8 engine requires 6 US quarts of 5W-20 motor oil. The 4.0 liter V6 version needs 5 US quarts of 5W-30 oil, while the Mustang GT 500 with a 5.4 liter V8 engine requires 6.4 US quarts of 5W-50 oil. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months if using conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers advantages such as improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions, especially cold temperatures. Name-brand oils like Penzoil or Castrol are known to provide double the protection and corrosion prevention compared to aftermarket options. The cost for an oil change and filter replacement on a Ford Mustang typically ranges from $115 to $130 for parts and labor.
In the 2010 Ford Mustang, the 4.0L engine needs 5 quarts (4.7 liters) of oil, while the 4.6L engine requires 6 quarts (5.7 liters). Ford recommends using SAE 5W-20 oil for the 4.6L engine and SAE 5W-30 oil for the 4.0L engine in the 2010 Ford Mustang.
The 2010 GT requires 5w-20 oil as per the manual.
