Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2020 GT.
The 2020 Ford GT pairs an automatic AM7 transmission with a dry-sump lubrication system demanding 13.7 quarts of 5W-50 oil, while EPA ratings stand at 12 mpg city, 18 highway, and 14 combined. This model year sits outside the documented complaint history spanning 2004 to 2018, where the GT recorded a low of just 1 complaint in 2004 and a high of only 5 in 2006, indicating a legacy of minimal issues that bodes well for the 2020 edition.
Fluid capacities, tune-up values and fuel economy at a glance.
Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.
From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI NS · 900 CCA battery. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.
