2016 Lincoln MKT Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Lincoln MKT, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your MKT. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get MKT maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Lincoln MKT!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your MKT running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2016 Lincoln MKT problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your MKT's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2016 Lincoln MKT. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your MKT may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Lincoln MKT 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 MKT) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln MKT won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2016 Lincoln MKT's engine run smoother. See Lincoln's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2016 MKT in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2016 Lincoln MKT? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Lincoln MKT suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Lincoln MKT suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Lincoln MKT's steering system require regular maintenance.

A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. 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.
