When to Change 1984 Mercury Lynx Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1984 Mercury Lynx? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1984 Lynx’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Lynx may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercury if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercury Lynx. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Mercury Lynx?

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Lynx by taking into account your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.
