The 2022 Ford Mustang takes 5W-20 Full Synthetic with a total capacity of 8 quarts (filter included). You’ll need a 16mm socket for the drain plug, torqued to 30 Nm. The OEM oil filter is the Motorcraft FL-2087-A, with 2 compatible alternatives listed below. Note: this vehicle has 9 active recalls — check the recalls section below. Below you’ll find complete maintenance specs, fluid capacities, parts, and links to buy what you need.

⚑ QUICK DIY TIPS FOR THE 2022 FORD MUSTANG
  • Torque your drain plug to 30 Nm (22 ft-lbs) to avoid leaks or stripped threads.
  • Using the OEM filter (Motorcraft FL-2087-A) is recommended for warranty compliance.
  • Always use 5W-20 Full Synthetic as specified by Ford — using the wrong viscosity can void your powertrain warranty.
  • Check the maintenance schedule below for your next service interval.
