How Often to Get 2008 Mercury Mountaineer Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Mercury Mountaineer? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mercury recommends having your 2008 Mercury Mountaineer’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Mountaineer may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercury recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2008 Mercury Mountaineer motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mercury has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2008 Mercury Mountaineer vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Mountaineer's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Mountaineer by taking into account your driving habits, and mileage.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2008 Mercury Mountaineer

  • Should I check my Mercury Mountaineer motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Mountaineer’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercury Mountaineer oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury Mountaineer spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercury Mountaineer oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercury Mountaineer oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Mercury Mountaineer oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Mountaineer oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Mountaineer's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercury Mountaineer every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
