1987 Mercury Grand Marquis Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercury Grand Marquis and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Grand Marquis could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Grand Marquis maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Grand Marquis perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Marquis's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercury Grand Marquis battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Marquis) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Grand Marquis won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 Grand Marquis. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis.
