To find the correct part number, you need to either:
* Check your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It will likely list acceptable filter types or specifications.
* Go to a parts store website: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts allow you to search by your vehicle's year, make, and model. They will then list compatible oil filters with their respective part numbers.
* Use a parts lookup website: Websites like RockAuto.com let you search by vehicle specifics and offer a wider selection of brands.
Instead of looking for a specific part number immediately, searching by your Mustang's year and 3.8L V6 engine will give you a list of compatible filters from various brands. Then you can compare prices and choose a brand you trust.
