Newbie to the Mustang world, so a couple of dumb questions.
79 Mustang, 5.0, 4 speed manual.
What are you guys running for engine oil weight? A whole bunch of different answers on the internet when I searched it.
What are you running for rear end oil? I'm assuming the oil is filled to the bottom of the plug.
Where do you check the oil level in the transmission and what type and weight?
Thanks

I would recommend that you purchase a Chilton guide for your year and engine if you plan on working on the car.

Here are the answers for fluids
