Is It Time for Service on My 1998 Lincoln Continental Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Lincoln Continental radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1998 Lincoln Continental is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Lincoln recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

What to Expect from Lincoln Continental Radiator Repair

What does radiator repair include? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Lincoln Continental cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks.
