the answers can be found in your car manual...quantities oil type and weight.

royal purple is expensive. to each their own i suppose.


to help you out a bit

i use 5.5 quarts and motorcraft 820-s oil filter. i have a 2000 so i run 5w30 i dont know about 2003 mustangs.

NOTE: make sure the old oil seal comes off with the old filter.

The manual calls for 6 quarts of 5W-20. However, check your dipstick to make sure the oil level is good and if it isn't, add more until it is good (usually another 1/2 qt tops). Good is right in the middle of the Min and Max markings.
