2014 Lincoln MKT Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lincoln MKT to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your MKT. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine MKT maintenance. Just follow your 2014 Lincoln MKT maintenance schedule!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2014 Lincoln MKT problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2014 Lincoln MKT and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your MKT. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2014 Lincoln MKT? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your MKT may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lincoln MKT battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2014 Lincoln MKT running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2014 MKT. 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 2014 Lincoln MKT.

If you fall behind on routine Lincoln MKT maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Lincoln MKT’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
