Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2010 Ford Mustang? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Ford recommends changing your 2010 Mustang’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Mustang in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Mustang may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Mustang. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
