1989 Mercury Sable Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercury Sable to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sable. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Sable, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1989 Mercury Sable maintenance schedule!

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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sable perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Mercury Sable problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Mercury Sable and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Sable'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 1989 Mercury Sable. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sable may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Sable 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sable stranded. Your Mercury Sable 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 prevent premature wear on your 1989 Mercury Sable engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1989 Sable. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1989 Mercury Sable? We can help with that, too!

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 Sable's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Mercury Sable maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
