2009 Ford Mustang Oil Capacity

The 2009 Ford Mustang’s listed engine oil capacities and recommended oil grades vary by engine. The 4.0L Cologne V6 SOHC takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30, while the 4.6 L 2-Valve takes 6.0 qt of 5W-20. The 5.4L Modular V8 4-Valve takes 6.4 qt of 5W-50.

Read each capacity alongside its engine description: these figures are not one shared amount for every Mustang. The listed oil grade also changes with the engine, so match both details to your vehicle rather than choosing a grade based only on capacity. The figures here apply to the engines listed for 2009; they do not establish specifications for another year or trim.

Use the listed capacity as a reference when planning an oil change, and verify the correct specification for your particular vehicle in the owner's manual. If your engine or capacity is not listed here, confirm the information in the owner's manual; do not assume a figure based on a different engine.
