Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Mercury Cougar

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1994 Mercury Cougar and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Cougar. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 Mercury Cougar? In general, car batteries only last three to 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Cougar) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Cougar 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 1994 Mercury Cougar running newer, longer. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1994 Cougar 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. 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 1994 Mercury Cougar.
