Just throw in M1 0w40 and call it a day!
The GT-500 and GT-350/R had/have different engines. The Track Pack Mustangs like mine do call for 5W50 and there are no internal differences, plus they have an OEM oil cooler. At some point they eliminated the piston oil squirters which I think was a bad idea personally.
Gen2 and Gen3 Coyotes still have oil squirters ... shows them right in the factory service manual.
Didn't know they added them back in. There was a big deal with Ford saying they eliminated them in 12 or 13 because they felt they weren't needed with the different pistons. I personally with they hadn't eliminated them because there is no downside, especially on a Track Pack car that has the limp mode to prevent overheating deactivated from the factory.
Just checked the FSM for my Mustang and they are not present in the engine assembly portion, nor are they in the blow-up illustration. They are on the parts end though which isn't unusual for Ford.
