What kind of brake fluid does a 2017 Ford Mustang GT take?

Brake Fluid for 2017 Ford Mustang GT
The 2017 Ford Mustang GT uses DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) brake fluid. This type of brake fluid is recommended due to the presence of Advance Trac and ABS, especially in cooler climates. It has a high dry boiling point of at least 509°F and a wet boiling point of at least 338°F. The specifications for the Ford Fluid are identical to those of Pentosin, the supplier for the Ford Fluid.
If you need to add brake fluid to your Mustang, it is important to check your owner’s manual for the correct type to add – it likely will be either DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5, also known as silicone brake fluid.
