Can Lincoln drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How often should I come in for Lincoln Continental differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Continental?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Continental’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Continental check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
