How Often to Get 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis Oil Changes

Need more info about 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mercury recommends changing your 2011 Grand Marquis’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Grand Marquis may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercury if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercury Grand Marquis. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2011 Mercury Grand Marquis Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Mercury Grand Marquis motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Grand Marquis’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercury oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercury Grand Marquis? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mercury Grand Marquis oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Mercury Grand Marquis oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Grand Marquis oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my Grand Marquis’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Mercury Grand Marquis during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
