Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1983 Grand Marquis’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Grand Marquis may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercury Grand Marquis. 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.
