Mercury recommends changing your 1998 Mountaineer’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Mountaineer in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Mountaineer may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercury Mountaineer. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
