2010 Lincoln MKT Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Lincoln MKT, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your MKT 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your MKT, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2010 Lincoln MKT!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lincoln themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your MKT running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Lincoln MKT problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 Lincoln MKT and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your MKT’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2010 Lincoln MKT be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Lincoln MKT 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Lincoln MKT won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2010 Lincoln MKT's engine run smoother. See Lincoln's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 MKT in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2010 Lincoln MKT? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Lincoln MKT steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Lincoln MKT 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 MKT's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Lincoln MKT services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Lincoln MKT cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Lincoln MKT radiator? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2010 Lincoln MKT maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
