1985 Mercury Lynx Oil Change

Not sure how or where to get your Mercury Lynx’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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 having your 1985 Mercury Lynx’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Lynx 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 see an excess amount of 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercury Lynx. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1985 Mercury Lynx motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mercury has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1985 Lynx. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Lynx’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Lynx by taking into account your driving habits, and odometer.
