2016 Lincoln MKX Transmission Q&A

  • How much can I tow in a Lincoln MKX? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your MKX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your MKX is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my MKX's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 MKX’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lincoln, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Lincoln MKX? Yes. Lincoln MKX transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
