Oil Change Q&A for Your 1994 Mercury Cougar

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercury Cougar? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Mercury Cougar engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercury oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury Cougar spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercury Cougar oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mercury Cougar oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Mercury Cougar oil light comes on? Your Mercury Cougar oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my Cougar’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Mercury Cougar during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
