2011 Lincoln MKX Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lincoln MKX to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your MKX has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 MKX maintenance. Just follow your 2011 Lincoln MKX maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lincoln, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your MKX's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2011 Lincoln MKX problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2011 Lincoln MKX and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your MKX. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 Lincoln MKX. 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lincoln MKX 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 MKX could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Lincoln MKX 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 2011 MKX. 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2011 Lincoln MKX.

Routine upkeep for your Lincoln MKX suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Lincoln MKX steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Lincoln MKX's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Lincoln MKX maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Lincoln MKX’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Lincoln MKX? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it.
