1983 Mercury Zephyr Maintenance

You want your Mercury Zephyr to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Zephyr has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Zephyr maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1983 Mercury Zephyr!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercury, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Zephyr's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1983 Mercury Zephyr problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 Mercury Zephyr for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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 Zephyr'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 1983 Mercury Zephyr. 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercury Zephyr 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 Zephyr stranded. Your Mercury Zephyr won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1983 Mercury Zephyr's engine run smoother.
