About how many quarts of motor oil will a 2004 Mustang GT hold?

T-Lee. 30 · January 20th, 2011, 05:26 PM

5-6

thereal2v2fear · January 20th, 2011, 05:37 PM

i heard up to 7.

bottled2v · January 20th, 2011, 05:38 PM

depends as some years had different dip sticks. i would just put an even 6 in it. you can put up to 7 in with the stock pan and no problems. if you have a high rpm car and are taking it to the track or something then i'd recommend 7, but for most 6 is good.

Is your v2 tapped into your oil pan and do you run 6+ quarts of 5w20 or 6+ quarts of 5w30? Just curious

asiansensation78 · January 20th, 2011, 05:50 PM

6 Quarts, use 6.5 or 7 if you're a corner carver or launch hard. Usually there's .5 to 1 quart of oil left in the pan and engine after you drain the oil for an oil change. I use 5 quarts of synthetic and 1 quart of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer.

yes it is and i believe he usually has 6.5 quarts in there.

steweod · January 20th, 2011, 05:54 PM

umm the owners manual calls for 6 so i would run with 6

yes it is, only vortech that doesnt have to be tapped is the v3 and yes 6.5.

ok gotcha and i forgot there was just a few differences between the v1 and v2 I gotcha.

T-Lee. 30 · January 20th, 2011, 06:29 PM

you guys running the vortech set up do you run 5w20 or 5w30 or does it really matter?

0949er · January 20th, 2011, 06:29 PM

6 unless you got a oil fed blower, then its more like 6.5 qts.

5 is not enough; at least for any 03 or 04

I use whatever oil the manual calls for (motorcraft synthetic blend, 5w30? dont remember the weight, whatever it says on the manual for an 04)

my 03 says 5w20 on the oil cap.

For those who didnt click the link, 6 quarts in an oil pan:

bottled2v · January 20th, 2011, 07:53 PM

^ thats my reasoning too. 7 qts and it's still below the crank scrapers a tad, and when it's running there's never all that oil sitting in the pan, even just at idle i'd say there's atleast 2 quarts up top

blownstang · January 20th, 2011, 07:58 PM

How much will it hold or how much should you put in it? It will hold 9 quarts to the brim. My manual calls for 6 quarts. I ran 6 quarts for the first two years that I had the car, but the oil on the dipstick was always between minimum and half. I later started to put 6.5qts into it, which brought it up to half way on the dipstick. Now with the supercharger I run 7 quarts, which is right at the top of the dipstick.

I ran 5w20 N/A. Now I run 5w30 Castrol GTX.

tbirdscwd · January 20th, 2011, 08:01 PM

Mine held 6.5 on the stock pan.

NeverEnuff · January 20th, 2011, 08:02 PM

Bottled2V is right...only change for the Cobra and GT is the dipstick. 7 qts is fine...

mrbigjeep · January 20th, 2011, 08:40 PM
