How Often to Change 1999 Mercury Sable Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1999 Mercury Sable? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about 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 1999 Sable’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Sable in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Sable may need an oil change if your check engine 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 terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercury Sable. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1999 Mercury Sable Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercury Sable? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Sable’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercury Sable oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercury Sable oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercury Sable oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mercury Sable oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Sable 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 Sable's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercury Sable 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?
