What to Know About 2009 Mercury Mariner Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercury Mariner to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Mariner has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Mariner maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2009 Mercury Mariner!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Mariner running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Mercury Mariner problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Mercury Mariner

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Mercury Mariner for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mariner's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2009 Mercury Mariner be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Mariner may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Mariner battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mariner stranded. Your Mercury Mariner won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2009 Mercury Mariner's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mercury recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 Mariner, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mercury Mariner.

Maintaining your Mercury Mariner steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercury Mariner's steering and suspension system.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mercury Mariner? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2009 Mariner is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.

High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mercury Mariner engines.
  •  Why are my Mercury dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Mercury Mariner in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
