What does a complete tune-up consist of??

Question

for a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD..I have had it for almost a year and a half and have put about 20,000 miles on it..would it even need one? I have done oil changes

Answer 1

Check your owner's manual. Besides regular tuneups (typically every 12,000 miles) there are other maintenances to perform at various intervals (20k, 30k, 60k, etc) such as changing antifreeze, or transmission oil, brakes, hoses, etc.

Tuneups usually consist of replacing distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, fuel filters, air filters, PCV valve/filter, O2 sensor, checking ignition wires, setting timing

Answer 2

A 'complete' tune up consists of an oil change, new oil and air filters, check tire pressure and check all fluid levels. A more complete check would include checking/replacing the spark plugs, front and rear brakes, light bulbs, antifreeze/coolant and possibly some other things. As long as you're changing the oil and filter every 3000 miles, you're OK. You didn't say how many total miles are on the vehicle, though, so it's tough to say how much needs to be done.

Tune up as in performance? If you are prepared to spend that kind of money on enhancements, what I'd go is spend it on completely rebuilding the engine so its basically brand new, those V8 engines are powerful enough to be honest. @andthentherwasi - 'since you don't have a distributor, air filter' What? I'm sure that it has an air filter

Answer 4

Full Tune Up

Answer 5

Probably could use some new spark-plugs, new hoses and belts and tires. Check the brakes and other fluids like power steering and the transmission fluid, have the radiator flushed and filled.

Answer 6

how many total miles on the car? normally the spark plugs do not need to be changed at 20000 miles. But you will want to change the air and gas filter

Answer 7

you are ok till 100 thousand miles. you will need a fuel filter at around 30 thousand miles.keep an eye on your air filter,put gas in it and drive!!!!

Answer 8

i'm not sure what kind of tune-up your looking for, but on my 1999 mustang, the spark plugs, wires, etc, wasn't due until it hit 100,000 miles, you can look in your book you got with the car....
