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 changing your 2005 Sable’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. 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 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. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercury Sable. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
