1991 Mercury Cougar Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercury Cougar, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Cougar has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Cougar maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1991 Mercury Cougar!

Mercury knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Cougar running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 Mercury Cougar problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1991 Mercury Cougar and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cougar’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1991 Mercury Cougar be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Cougar may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercury Cougar battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercury Cougar won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1991 Mercury Cougar's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1991 Cougar. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1991 Mercury Cougar.

Routine upkeep for your Mercury Cougar suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Mercury Cougar steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercury Cougar's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Mercury Cougar services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mercury Cougar cooling, heating, and climate control system.
