Your 1987 Lynx’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Lynx may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.
