The temp gauge tends to read high on some of the 4 cylinder cars. Put the AC on MAX to get the high speed cooling fan running & that may lower the engine temperature a little. Fresh coolant with a 160 degree thermostat and a product called 'Water Wetter' will really help to keep your engine cool. If you have a V-6 then it may be time to replace your water pump. The original V-6 pumps had a black plastic impeller that was prone to failure every 70,000 miles or so. When replacing, be sure to get a pump with a white plastic impeller from the dealer, or a metal impeller replacement from the local auto parts store. MOST IMPORTANT: Flush the cooling system well (backward then forward) to remove any old impeller debris or you may damage the new pump.

What engine oil to use for a 1996 Mercury Mystique?

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.
