When to Change 2009 Lincoln MKS Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Lincoln MKS’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Lincoln recommends having your 2009 Lincoln MKS’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your MKS may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Lincoln if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Lincoln MKS. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
