2001SVT Q & A

Q Whom should I call with service/warranty questions or concerns with my SVT vehicle?
A If your SVT vehicle requires service, any Ford dealer can provide necessary parts and service. Check your Warranty Guide to find out which parts and services are covered.
Q Why was there no Cobra produced for the 2000 model year?
A The reason for the cancellation is simply that our top priority has been our 1999 Cobra owners. Our focus and resources - and those of our SVT dealers - have been directed to the 1999 Cobra owner notification program. Rather than rushing to produce a limited number of 2000 models - and risking production/manufacturing issues by hurrying - we're choosing to focus our efforts on the timely production of the 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra.

Q Does the High Altitude Principal Use or the California Emission option affect the performance of my SVT vehicle?
A No. There is no performance difference for SVT vehicles equipped with either option.
Q What is the recommended break-in procedure for my SVT vehicle?
A SVT recommends that you drive your SVT vehicle easy the first 1,500 miles, combining highway and city routes. Refrain from using the upper rpm range. As the miles accumulate, stretch the engine out to use more of the available rpm. Also, do not to use the brakes aggressively in the first 300 miles to give the brake linings a chance to properly break in.
Q What type of motor oil does SVT recommend?
A Use SAE 5W-30 motor oil certified for gasoline engines by the American Petroleum Institute and meeting Ford Specification WSS-M2C153-G, such as Motorcraft Super Premium SAE 5W30.
Q What is the recommended tire inflation pressure for the SVT products?
A Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the inside driver's side door or on the interior of the glove box door.
Q Are replacement window stickers available?
A Only the original selling dealer can regenerate a window sticker, and they are able to go back only seven years. SVT can tell you who the original selling dealer was.
