Lincoln recommends changing your 1997 Town Car’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Town Car 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Lincoln Town Car. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1997 Lincoln Town Car

  • Should I check my Lincoln Town Car motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Lincoln Town Car engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Lincoln Town Car oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lincoln exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Lincoln Town Car? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Lincoln Town Car oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Lincoln Town Car? Your Lincoln Town Car oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Lincoln Town Car? Every time you change the oil in your Lincoln Town Car, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
