1988 Mercury Colony Park Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercury's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercury? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Colony Park towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Colony Park's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercury Colony Park’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercury's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercury Colony Park? Yes, your Mercury Colony Park can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Colony Park ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
