Ford recommends having your 2021 Ford Mustang’s motor oil changed 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.
