Lincoln Aviator Hybrid: Optimal Maintenance Practices
Keep the Oil and Fluids Topped Up
You’ll need to change the motor oil frequently and also inspect and top up coolant in the combustion engine’s cooling system. The battery motor uses inverter coolant, which also requires care. Further fluids include the brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. Make sure they all stay in great condition with periodical checks and occasional flushes.
Protect Both Your Batteries
In a hybrid, you have two batteries: the motor battery and the 12-volt battery for the combustion engine. Both batteries are susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures, so keep your car parked under cover whenever possible.
The main battery pack should be neither fully charged nor depleted, either of which could reduce the battery’s capacity and lifespan. Try to keep it between 20 and 80 percent of a full charge. Regular driving helps maintain both batteries, along with various other vehicle components.
Replace All the Air Filters
Hybrids have three filters: one for each engine and another for the cabin. These filters prevent dust and airborne debris from entering the car. But over time, they clog up, restricting airflow, which can result in harm to the engine and battery. You’ll typically need to replace each air filter once a year.
Keep Your Brakes in Good Shape
With regenerative braking helping to slow your car while also replenishing the battery pack, your friction brakes have less work than those in a traditional car. However, the brake pads and rotors still wear down gradually; it’s wise to have your brakes checked by a technician twice a year.
Rotate and Maintain Your Tires
As with any road vehicle, uneven tire tread wear is a problem to contend with. Regular rotations typically resolve this issue, extending the how long the tires last. You should also keep an eye on the automatic tire pressure monitor and check air pressure manually once per month.
