When to Change 1988 Mercury Colony Park Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mercury Colony Park’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mercury recommends having your 1988 Mercury Colony Park’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Colony Park may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercury recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercury Colony Park. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1988 Mercury Colony Park Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Mercury Colony Park motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercury Colony Park engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercury Colony Park oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercury Colony Park oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercury Colony Park oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Mercury Colony Park oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Colony Park oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercury Colony Park? It's recommended that you replace your Mercury Colony Park oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
