I was just wanting to ask people who know these cars, if there is anything in particular I should be aware of?
I've read a couple things, such as that I should leave the car in park for a minute before shutting the engine off, etc. But is there any other kind of special maintenance that needs to be done? Should I be concerned that a car with 72000 miles is Turbocharged, does it tear the engine up faster? Any special oil I should use? Anything I need to know?
Please help a new Ford owner, thank you!

hey man first of all you should buy a turbo timer for it, it makes the car run for about 10-15 minutes after you shut it off, thus allowing the turbo to cool down and improving the life of it. also i would recommend mobil 1 synthetic oil, i'm had 3 mustangs a 89 gt, a 97 cobra, and a 02' gt and not had a problem with any of them while using mobil 1 synthetic (5w-30)
