2000 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 proactive maintenance, your Grand Marquis has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Grand Marquis maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2000 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Grand Marquis running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis? In general, car batteries only last 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! 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mercury recommends you have the oil changed in your 2000 Grand Marquis, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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.
