Drivers sometimes put off crucial maintenance, but that only harms your car’s performance, safety, and lifespan. Keep up with the Lincoln maintenance timeline below with the help of our Lincoln dealership to ensure your luxury car always delivers a first-class drive.
Essential Lincoln Maintenance Tips: When To Service Your Luxury Car
Monthly Maintenance
Your Lincoln’s tires, lights, and fluids need monthly attention. Make sure each tire’s air pressure matches the PSI stipulated in the owner’s manual. Also, check that your tires are undamaged with tread depths over 2/32 of an inch.
Walk around your car after dark, checking every headlight, brake light, taillight, turn signal, and fog light. Each fluid must also be checked; make sure your motor oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and differential fluid are all topped up and in a good state.
Twice-a-Year Service
For most drivers, motor oil needs to be changed every six months, plus the oil filter if it’s full. Your tires will require a rotation, plus probably alignment and balancing, twice a year.
Also, wax your Lincoln to protect and preserve its exterior. Have your battery and electrical system tested, and ask for your exhaust system to be inspected and tested. Your brakes will also require a biannual inspection.
Yearly Upkeep
There are quite a few annual checkups to schedule. The engine and cabin air filters will usually need to be replaced. Have your transmission examined for issues or leaks. Your suspension should be professionally checked and fine-tuned.
Likewise, your engine requires a yearly tune-up. This will keep its performance at its best and allow our technicians to inspect each spark plug and ignition coil, which need to be replaced once in a while. The fuel system should also be checked, especially the fuel filters and injectors.
Every Two Years
The coolant and brake fluid are likely to last two or three years. The fuel filters have about the same lifespan. You may need to change your transmission fluid at the two-year mark, although this hardy fluid can last much longer. With our routine inspections, we’ll know when each fluid needs to be flushed.
Longer-Term Service
In the longer term, your car battery will eventually need to go; it might last three to five years. Your tires may last four to six years, and you can expect a similar lifespan for your engine’s timing belt. Replace each of these vital components before they become too worn out.
