Regular maintenance is the key to a long and healthy life for your 2025 Lincoln SUV. It ensures worn parts are replaced to prevent damage so your vehicle performs at its best. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to tell you about some services your Lincoln requires.
Examples of Services for Your 2025 Lincoln SUV
Changing Brake Fluid
When you hit the brakes, the brake fluid forces the calipers to clamp against the rotors, and the friction generated by the brake pads brings your Lincoln to a stop. As time passes, the brake fluid absorbs water. Braking produces heat, and if you have to brake frequently over a short distance, the heat can cause the water to boil. Overheated brake fluid can’t provide hydraulic power, and your brakes can fail.
Brake fluid is usually changed every three years to prevent this issue. Our technicians use a vacuum pump to drain the old fluid from the brake master cylinder, which controls the brake system, and replace it. The brake system is then flushed using a pressure bleeder to drain any remaining old fluid from each brake caliper until the fluid runs clean.
Air Filter Replacement
Your Lincoln requires vast quantities of air to mix with the fuel to burn and produce combustion. The air filter’s job is to trap dirt and other debris in the air so only clean air mixes with the fuel. As time passes, the filter becomes blocked with dirt, reducing airflow into the engine. The lack of air causes the fuel-air mixture to become fuel-rich.
A fuel-rich engine reduces engine performance, as fuel needs oxygen to burn. Misfiring and stalling can happen, and wear on engine components increases. You’ll also notice you have to make more frequent trips to the pump, as poor combustion results in large amounts of unburnt fuel being dumped into the exhaust system. We replace this filter every 30,000 miles to keep the engine working efficiently.
Spark Plug Replacement
The spark plugs provide the ignition source for the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. Each cylinder has a spark plug connected to it, which sparks when the fuel-air mixture has been sufficiently compressed. Correct timing is essential, and a healthy spark plug will cause the fuel-air mixture to produce a regularly spaced series of mini explosions, producing the energy that moves your vehicle.
Spark plugs gradually wear out, and worn plugs can cause issues like misfiring and stalling. When the fuel-air mixture doesn’t burn correctly, the failed combustion causes a loss in engine power, and you’ll feel vibrations from the engine. We replace your plugs every 100,000 miles to prevent these problems.
