Engine Q&A 2008 Lincoln MKZ

  • Why does the check engine light in my MKZ turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your MKZ firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Lincoln MKZ engine noises bad? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Lincoln MKZ engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Lincoln MKZ engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I add water to my Lincoln MKZ radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your MKZ radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
  • Why did my MKZ engine suddenly stop? Reasons your MKZ car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
