S197 RESETS THE SHAPE.
An all-new platform brings strong first-generation styling cues. A 4.0L V6 and three-valve 4.6L V8 define the regular lineup.
S197 translated the original Mustang silhouette into a modern platform. A major powertrain change in 2011 introduced the 5.0L Coyote V8 and a new 3.7L V6, while Shelby and Boss models pushed performance further.
IDENTIFY THE CONFIGURATION.
A model year is the starting point. Confirm the body style, engine, transmission, axle, market, and factory packages before comparing specifications or ordering parts. A restored or modified Mustang may no longer match its original build.

OWNERSHIP NOTES.
Match service information to the engine and model year. Inspect clutch and gearbox operation, rear-axle noise, water entry, and modifications. Three-valve and Coyote engines have different procedures and service concerns.
The imported 2016 workshop manual is not a substitute for this model year’s service information. Use the correct factory publication.
