My name is Jacob, I just bought a 1996 2 door coupe V6 Ford Mustang that happens to be Turbocharged. I don't know the previous owner, because I bought the car from a dealership...it was a trade-in. The car is turbocharged, although I do not know what kind of turbocharge, I'm not gifted in automobile knowledge.

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!
