What Type of Oil is Right for My Lincoln?
Choosing the right oil for your Lincoln isn’t just about keeping things running—it’s about protecting the craftsmanship and performance that make your vehicle stand out. Whether you’re piloting a Lincoln Navigator through snowy Michigan winters or cruising in a Lincoln MKZ on a warm spring day, the oil you use plays a critical role in how your engine responds, lasts, and performs over time.
At Lincoln of Troy, serving Troy, Detroit, and Royal Oak, Michigan, we’re here to help you understand what type of oil is right for your Lincoln.
What Type of Oil is Right?
Selecting the appropriate oil for your Lincoln isn't just about following a schedule; it's about understanding your vehicle's specific needs. For most Lincoln models, especially those from 2008 onward, the manufacturer recommends changing the oil every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or extreme temperatures, typical in the Troy area, you should service your vehicle more often.
At our Lincoln dealer, we use Motorcraft® synthetic blend oil, designed to provide optimal performance for your Lincoln. This oil helps improve engine efficiency and fuel economy while reducing harmful deposits. Our trained technicians will also replace the oil filter during each service to ensure your engine remains clean and well-lubricated.
