1984 Mercury Capri Maintenance

Take care of your Mercury Capri and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Capri could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Capri maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1984 Mercury Capri!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Capri running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1984 Mercury Capri problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1984 Mercury Capri and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Capri. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1984 Mercury Capri be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercury Capri battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Capri stranded. Your Mercury Capri won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1984 Mercury Capri running newer, longer. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1984 Capri in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1984 Mercury Capri.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
