1986 Lincoln Mark VII Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lincoln Mark VII to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Mark VII could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Mark VII maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lincoln, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Mark VII perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1986 Lincoln Mark VII problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Mark VII’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Lincoln Mark VII battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Mark VII) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln Mark VII won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII running newer, longer. See Lincoln's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 Mark VII in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII.
