1998 Mercury Grand Marquis Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercury Grand Marquis, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercury themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Grand Marquis's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Grand Marquis. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Grand Marquis battery.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Marquis) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Grand Marquis could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
