2006 Mercury Montego Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercury Montego, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Montego could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 Montego 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 2006 Mercury Montego!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercury themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Montego running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2006 Mercury Montego problems.

Bring your 2006 Mercury Montego to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Montego’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2006 Mercury Montego 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 Montego may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Montego battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercury Montego won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2006 Mercury Montego's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Montego. 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 2006 Mercury Montego.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercury Montego can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Mercury Montego steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Mercury Montego's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mercury Montego maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mercury Montego’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Mercury Montego radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2006 Mercury Montego maintenance.
