2009 Mercury Mountaineer Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercury Mountaineer, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Mountaineer. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mountaineer, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Mountaineer perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Mercury Mountaineer problems in the future.

Bring your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 2009 Mercury Mountaineer. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Mountaineer battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer engine. See Mercury's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2009 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer.

Maintaining your Mercury Mountaineer steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Mercury Mountaineer steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. 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.

If you skip recommended Mercury Mountaineer services, 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. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mercury Mountaineer’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Mercury Mountaineer radiator in need of replacement? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2009 Mercury Mountaineer maintenance and repairs.
