Can Mercury service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury Grand Marquis, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mercury Grand Marquis differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Grand Marquis?

Is it possible to reset the Grand Marquis malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Grand Marquis's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Grand Marquis.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Marquis?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Marquis. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Grand Marquis.

Does my Grand Marquis transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Grand Marquis includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Grand Marquis forward.
