Your 1985 Topaz’s oil should be changed according to Mercury’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Topaz in the above table. Outside of Mercury-recommended oil change intervals, your Topaz 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 car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercury Topaz. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1985 Mercury Topaz

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercury Topaz? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mercury Topaz engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercury Topaz 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercury exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mercury Topaz oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercury Topaz 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 the oil light on in my Mercury Topaz? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercury Topaz 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 Topaz's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Mercury Topaz during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
