1987 Mercury Grand Marquis Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercury Grand Marquis? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercury Grand Marquis engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercury Grand Marquis oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercury Grand Marquis oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercury Grand Marquis oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mercury Grand Marquis to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Grand Marquis oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercury Grand Marquis? You should replace your Mercury Grand Marquis 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.
