Failing to follow scheduled maintenance can jeopardize warranty coverage; keep service records to demonstrate compliance for your 2012 Ford Shelby GT500.

Manufacturers expect maintenance according to the owner’s schedule; undocumented or irregular service makes warranty claims harder to support. Having service logged with a certified facility simplifies claims and helps verify proper care.

• Full synthetic: better high-temperature protection and shear stability
• Synthetic blend: compromise between cost and improved protection
• Conventional: lowest cost, may be acceptable for non-severe use if OEM permits
