Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1989 Mercury Cougar? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires.

Mercury recommends having your 1989 Mercury Cougar’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Cougar may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercury Cougar. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1989 Mercury Cougar motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mercury has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1989 Cougar. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Cougar’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Cougar by taking into account your driving style, weather and road conditions,
