2019 Lincoln MKT Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Lincoln's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lincoln MKT? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your MKT’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my MKT's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Lincoln MKT’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Lincoln's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Lincoln MKT leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Lincoln MKT, potentially causing transmission problems.
