There's no need to guess when it's time to get Mark VIII maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong.

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mark VIII's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Mark VIII’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Lincoln Mark VIII battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Mark VIII) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln Mark VIII won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII running newer, longer.
