1999 Mercury Mountaineer Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercury Mountaineer, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Mountaineer. 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 Mountaineer maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1999 Mercury Mountaineer!

Mercury knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 Mountaineer's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Mercury Mountaineer problems later.

Bring your 1999 Mercury Mountaineer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Mountaineer’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1999 Mercury Mountaineer. In general, car batteries only last 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercury Mountaineer 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. 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 Mountaineer won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 Mercury Mountaineer running newer, longer. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1999 Mountaineer in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1999 Mercury Mountaineer.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercury Mountaineer 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. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Mercury Mountaineer steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mercury Mountaineer's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mercury Mountaineer 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. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mercury Mountaineer engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Mercury Mountaineer? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too.
