  • Ford Mustang (2015-2023)

The S550-generation Mustang, introduced for 2015, was the most significant redesign in the pony car's 50-year history. For the first time the Mustang adopted an independent rear suspension, and for the first time it was sold in right-hand drive markets around the world. The introduction of the 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder alongside the legendary 5.0L Coyote V8 gave buyers a genuine choice between efficiency and displacement - and both engines have attracted dedicated followings. The S550 generation was produced through 2023, making it the most recent Mustang available in manual form.

Developed using hands-on workshop experience, Chilton's Total Car Care manual provides repair procedures based on real workshop data, supported by detailed specifications, hundreds of color illustrations, and step-by-step instructions. Whether you're a performance enthusiast or a daily driver, this Chilton manual helps you work safely while significantly reducing expensive dealership labor costs.

Designed for real-world ownership

Performance and reliability in balance

The Mustang is often driven hard, whether on a canyon road, a drag strip, or a track day. This manual covers the maintenance and repair procedures that keep both the EcoBoost and Coyote V8 performing reliably under those conditions, including cooling, fuel, ignition, and drivetrain systems.

Protecting your powertrain

With two different engine architectures in the lineup, correct fluid specifications and service intervals matter. This manual provides the lubricant data, maintenance schedules, and engine repair procedures specific to your engine to keep it running as Ford intended.

Longevity and resale value

A well-maintained Mustang holds its value better than most sports cars. Regular DIY servicing saves money and creates a service history that matters at sale time.
