Here’s Why 2001 Lincoln LS Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Lincoln LS, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your LS could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get LS maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Lincoln LS!

Lincoln knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your LS perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Lincoln LS problems later.

Overview of Essential Lincoln LS Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2001 Lincoln LS for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your LS. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2001 Lincoln LS. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your LS may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lincoln LS battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty LS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln LS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2001 Lincoln LS's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2001 LS. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2001 Lincoln LS.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Lincoln LS can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Lincoln LS steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Lincoln LS's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Lincoln LS services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Lincoln LS cooling, heating, and climate control system.
