Lincoln Nautilus Maintenance Schedule

Staying current with your vehicle requirements is one of the most effective ways to preserve its peak performance, especially when you drive a luxury SUV like the Lincoln Nautilus.

At Lincoln of Troy, serving Troy, Detroit, and Royal Oak, Michigan, we aim to make caring for your Lincoln easier. We compiled this Lincoln Nautilus maintenance schedule guide to help you understand your model's service needs.

Your Lincoln Nautilus comes with advanced engineering, but routine monthly checks are essential, like any vehicle. These monthly checks are quick and simple and go a long way in keeping your SUV running smoothly. Start with your engine oil level—it’s the lifeblood of your engine. Pull the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check to ensure the oil level is within the recommended range.

Next up is the functionality of all interior and exterior lights. From the bright headlights that guide you on evening drives through Detroit to the subtle interior lighting that adds to your Lincoln’s luxury feel, ensuring that these lights work correctly is crucial for safety. A quick check of turn signals, brake lights, and dashboard indicators can prevent situations on the road and enhance visibility.

Lastly, inspect your tires—including the spare! Living near Michigan, where road conditions can change with the weather, your tires take a beating. Ensure they have the proper tread and pressure to enhance performance and fuel efficiency.

While monthly checks keep things running, more in-depth aspects of your Lincoln Nautilus require attention every six months:

1. Start by looking at the battery connections. Over time, corrosion can build up, affecting your vehicle's ability to start efficiently, especially during Michigan's chilly winters.
2. Next, focus on your vehicle’s body and door drain holes. These small but essential parts of your SUV's system ensure water doesn’t accumulate where it shouldn’t.

Other essential items to check include the cooling system fluid level and coolant strength. Additionally, check the door weatherstrips, hinges, and latches for wear. Lubricating them ensures smooth operation, contributing to the overall luxury experience of the Nautilus.

We offer some additional tips to ensure your Lincoln Nautilus remains in excellent shape. First, avoid using chemicals or additives not approved by Lincoln. While these products may seem easy to enhance performance, they can interfere with your vehicle's complex systems.

At our Lincoln dealer near Troy, MI, we stock genuine Lincoln parts and remanufactured replacement parts that meet or exceed factory specifications. Using authentic parts ensures that your vehicle maintains its peak performance and reliability.

Lastly, we recommend scheduling a multi-point inspection at every maintenance interval. This inspection covers your vehicle's critical areas, ensuring everything from the brakes to the suspension is functioning correctly. A thorough inspection performed by Lincoln-certified technicians ensures your vehicle runs like new for years to come.
