We recommend changing your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil your vehicle uses. For precise recommendations, consult your owner’s manual or visit us for expert advice.

Brake inspections should be done at least once a year. If you notice squeaking, grinding, or reduced braking power, it’s time for a check-up. Brake pads generally need replacement when they reach 2-3mm in thickness.

• Engine Oil: Every 5,000-7,500 miles
• Transmission Fluid: Every 30,000-60,000 miles
• Brake Fluid: Every 2 years
• Coolant: Every 30,000-50,000 miles

Your check engine light may indicate anything from a loose gas cap to more serious engine problems. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic service to determine the cause and address it promptly.

Replace your engine air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. For clean air inside your vehicle, the cabin air filter should also be replaced at similar intervals.

Tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch. Use the penny test – if you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for new tires. Our technicians can perform a professional tread inspection during your visit.
