2003 Mercury Mountaineer Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercury Mountaineer to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Mountaineer 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 Mountaineer maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2003 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Mountaineer running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2003 Mercury Mountaineer problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mountaineer's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercury Mountaineer battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Mountaineer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercury Mountaineer won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer running newer, longer. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2003 Mountaineer in the chart at the top 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Mercury Mountaineer steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mercury Mountaineer's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Mercury Mountaineer 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.

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 can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.
