When to Change 2005 Lincoln LS Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Lincoln LS’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Lincoln recommends having your 2005 Lincoln LS’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your LS may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lincoln recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lincoln LS. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2005 Lincoln LS motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your LS by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
