2003 Mercury Mountaineer Oil Change

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2003 Mountaineer’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Mountaineer in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Mountaineer may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercury if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercury Mountaineer. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Mercury Mountaineer. Mercury has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2003 Mountaineer. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Mountaineer’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Mountaineer by taking into account your driving style, weather and road conditions,
