How does Lincoln drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Lincoln drivetrain system?

Your Lincoln MKZ drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Lincoln MKZ differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

A multitude of problems can activate your MKZ’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the MKZ malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your MKZ.

If your MKZ has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my MKZ transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your MKZ is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2008 Lincoln MKZ Drivetrain Service

Your MKZ’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lincoln, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Lincoln's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Lincoln MKZ Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2008 Lincoln MKZ drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Lincoln could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Lincoln MKZ.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2008 Lincoln MKZ? Again, it depends!
