1993 Mercury Tracer Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercury Tracer, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Tracer could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Tracer maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1993 Mercury Tracer maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Tracer's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1993 Mercury Tracer problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1993 Mercury Tracer and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Tracer'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 1993 Mercury Tracer. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Tracer may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Tracer battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Tracer stranded. Your Mercury Tracer could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

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 1993 Mercury Tracer engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1993 Tracer. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
