Jimmer, the oil warning system will JUST make the horn go off....running out of oil/not pumping oil will make motor turn off......

Re: 1987 Mercury Mariner

when did mariner start using oil injection? what year did mariners start to be produced? Reason I ask is because im trying to figure out my year mariner- it DOES NOT have oil injection. Thanks for any comments.<br />-John
