1987 Mercury Lynx Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercury Lynx to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Lynx 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. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Lynx maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Mercury Lynx!

Mercury knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 Lynx's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1987 Mercury Lynx problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Mercury Lynx for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Lynx's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Mercury Lynx? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercury Lynx battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Lynx) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Lynx won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1987 Mercury Lynx's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mercury recommends you have the oil changed in your 1987 Lynx, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1987 Mercury Lynx? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Mercury Lynx suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Mercury Lynx steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mercury Lynx's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Mercury Lynx maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mercury Lynx engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mercury Lynx? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1987 Mercury Lynx maintenance.
