2002 Mercury Grand Marquis Maintenance

You want your Mercury Grand Marquis to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Marquis. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Grand Marquis, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercury themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. 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 prevent common 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis problems.

Bring your 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Marquis's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2002 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). 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis running newer, longer. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis.
