The Mercury Villager, twin to the Nissan Quest, was produced from 1993 to 2002. Like most Mercury vehicles, the Villager minivan relies heavily on Motorcraft fluids and supplies to keep it running. These steps apply to all model years of the Mercury Villager.
Use High Performance DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid. To avoid damage to or failure of your braking systems, leading to injury or death, using only recommended brake fluids.
Keep Motorcraft MERCON ATF on hand for a variety of uses, including power steering fluid and automatic transmission fluid.
Change your engine oil regularly, using Motorcraft SAE 5W30 super premium motor oil. You may use 10W30 in a pinch, but only if temperatures aren't expected to fall below 0 degrees Fahrenheit before your next oil change.
Mix premium engine coolant at a 50 percent ratio with distilled or clean, drinkable water. In extreme cold temperatures, you may use up to 70 percent coolant in the mixture, but running pure coolant in your Mercury Villager isn't recommended under any circumstances.
