Best Answer

For a 1996 Mercury Mystique, the recommended engine oil is 5W30 (4.5 quarts) for a 4 cylinder, and 5W20 (5.8 quarts) for a V6. Given the vehicle's age and assumed high mileage, it would also be acceptable to go with a heavier weight (higher viscosity), such as a 10W30 instead of 5W20 or 5W30. It also depends on the engine condition and your climate.
