2018 Lincoln MKX Maintenance Schedule

You want your Lincoln MKX to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your MKX. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine MKX maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2018 Lincoln MKX!

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; 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, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2018 Lincoln MKX problems.

Bring your 2018 Lincoln MKX to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your MKX’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2018 Lincoln MKX be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lincoln MKX battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty MKX) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lincoln MKX won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2018 Lincoln MKX's engine run smoother. See Lincoln's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2018 MKX in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2018 Lincoln MKX.

Maintaining your Lincoln MKX steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Lincoln MKX 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 MKX's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Lincoln MKX maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Lincoln MKX engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Lincoln MKX? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2018 Lincoln MKX maintenance and repairs.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
