How Often to Change 2010 Lincoln MKZ Oil

Need more info about 2010 Lincoln MKZ oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Lincoln recommends changing your 2010 MKZ’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your MKZ may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lincoln recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lincoln MKZ. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Lincoln MKZ Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2010 Lincoln MKZ motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Lincoln has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2010 MKZ. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your MKZ’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your MKZ by considering your driving style, and odometer.

2010 Lincoln MKZ Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Lincoln MKZ engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Lincoln MKZ engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lincoln MKZ oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKZ exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lincoln MKZ oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Lincoln MKZ oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Lincoln MKZ oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Lincoln MKZ could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my MKZ's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Lincoln MKZ every time you change the oil.
