1983 Mercury Marquis Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercury Marquis to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Marquis. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Marquis maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1983 Mercury Marquis!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercury themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Marquis's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Mercury Marquis problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1983 Mercury Marquis and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Marquis. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1983 Mercury Marquis. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Marquis battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Marquis) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Marquis could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1983 Mercury Marquis's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mercury recommends you have the oil changed in your 1983 Marquis, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1983 Mercury Marquis.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercury Marquis can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Mercury Marquis 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercury Marquis's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Mercury Marquis 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.
