How Often to Change 2016 Lincoln MKZ Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Lincoln MKZ’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 having your 2016 Lincoln MKZ’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your MKZ may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lincoln recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lincoln MKZ. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2016 Lincoln MKZ Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lincoln MKZ? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, 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 oil on my own? 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 professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Lincoln MKZ exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lincoln MKZ oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lincoln MKZ oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Lincoln MKZ to illuminate? 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. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
