When should my Lincoln MKT radiator be cleaned?

Cleaning your car shouldn’t be limited to the parts you can see. Regular cleaning is good for your radiator, too! When you take your Lincoln MKT in for routine maintenance or service, it could be a good idea to opt for a radiator cleaning, too.

Your Lincoln MKT engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Lincoln MKT can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator.

To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

When to Service Your 2010 Lincoln MKT Cooling System

It can be tough to know when to have your Lincoln MKT radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2010 Lincoln MKT is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Lincoln recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
