1997 Mercury Grand Marquis Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercury Grand Marquis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Marquis. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis!

Mercury knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Grand Marquis running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Grand Marquis’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Grand Marquis may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercury Grand Marquis battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). 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 help your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis's engine run smoother. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 Grand Marquis in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis? We can help with that, too!

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mercury Grand Marquis's steering system with regular maintenance.
