Lincoln’s Comprehensive Service Checklist

Maintenance is key to keeping any car in great condition. Your Lincoln dealership can provide all the maintenance you need, so take a look at the service checklist we’ve provided and stop by for these services regularly.

A Comprehensive Service Checklist From Your Lincoln Dealership

Fluid Level Corrections

Get your fluid levels checked often, and have the levels topped off as needed. Low fluid levels can negatively impact your vehicle’s performance. Various fluids also need to be completely drained and replaced at different intervals. You need to change your oil most often—typically every six months.

Light Checks

Inspect the lights on your vehicle every month. This includes the head and tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, and interior lights. Check for flickering and dimming. If there seems to be an issue, then bring your car to the dealer. The bulbs may be burning out, or you could have an electrical issue that’s making it harder for your car to power all the lights.

Air Filter Change

You need to change your engine’s air filter regularly. If the air filter is old or gets too dirty to be useful, then you may not have proper airflow to the engine. This can decrease fuel efficiency, increase emissions, and reduce your engine’s lifespan. The engine air filter should be changed at least once a year, but check it regularly and get it changed if it’s dirty.

Check Your Tires

Check your tire pressure, tread depth, and overall tire condition often. Maintain the pressure recommended by your car’s manufacturer to keep your tires performing well. Replace your tires when they have less than 1/16 of an inch of tread. Get new tires if there are bulges or cracks on their sidewalls. It’s especially important to check your tire pressure during cold spells, as tire pressure drops when the temperature gets lower.

Get services that help prolong your tires’ lifespan, too. Wheel rotations, wheel alignments, and wheel balancing are all vital.

Replace Your Belts, Hoses, Spark Plugs, and Windshield Wipers

The belts and hoses in your car wear out over time and should be replaced when needed. Spark plugs get old and eventually fail, so you’ll need to replace them every few years. Your windshield wipers need to be replaced annually.

Check Your Battery

Get your battery inspected at the dealership to make sure it can hold a full charge and doesn’t have any stratification. Replace your battery every 3 to 5 years, as the battery will eventually fail. Look out for issues such as trouble starting the car, malfunctioning accessories, and dim headlights, as these are all signs that your battery is having problems.
