When you tune into you 2018 Lincoln Navigator drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can minimize repairs by following Lincoln's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Questions About 2018 Lincoln Navigator

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • Can Lincoln service save me money? Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.
  • What are signs my Lincoln drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Lincoln Navigator? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for Lincoln Navigator 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.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Navigator? A multitude of problems can activate your Navigator’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Can you clear the Navigator check engine light on your own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Navigator’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Navigator serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your Navigator should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.
  • Is my Navigator’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Navigator’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Navigator forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
