7 Ways to Prepare Your Lincoln for a Long Journey

Whatever the goal of your long journey, travel prep should include getting your car ready with the help of your local Lincoln dealership.

7 Ways To Prepare Your Lincoln for a Long Journey

Inflate, Rotate, and Align Your Tires

Your tires are about to be challenged by prolonged use and unpredictable tarmac conditions. They must be properly inflated, so be sure to check each tire's air pressure. It's also advisable to have them rotated and aligned to ensure even wear and smooth handling. 

Test the Battery and Electrical System

Have your battery tested so you know it's strong enough to start your car throughout the trip. If your battery is over four or five years old, now would be a good time to replace it. It's also advisable to ask a technician to test your alternator and check all wiring in the electrical system before you depart. 

Change the Oil and Check the Coolant

Continuous driving that possibly involves mountainous roads, rough surfaces, and bumper-to-bumper traffic will put strain on your engine. Both your motor oil and coolant need to be fresh to lubricate fully and keep things cool. It's wise to change your oil before your trip. 

Inspect All Important Belts and Hoses 

The last thing you'd want in the middle of a road trip is a snapped serpentine belt or fluid leak. Ask a trusted technician to carefully examine all belts and hoses in your car. If any are showing signs of age, they can be repaired or replaced easily enough. 

Inspect Your Brakes and Replace Worn Pads

Before a lengthy trip, the brakes of your Lincoln should be as firm as the day you bought the car. Have them inspected and ask for any brake pads or rotors that are close to the end to be replaced. Your brake fluid and brake lines also need to be in tip-top shape. 

Make Sure All Fluids Are in Good Shape

Similarly, have every vehicle fluid examined and either topped up or flushed as required. In addition to the fluids already mentioned, service your transmission fluid, differential fluid, transfer case fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. 

Pack an Emergency Roadside Kit

Ask us about preparing an emergency roadside kit, just in case, especially if you'll be driving far out into nature. You can purchase ready-made kits that include most of what you need. Any emergency kit should include jumper cables, a flashlight, fresh batteries, a multi-tool, blankets, warm jackets, non-perishable food, and other potentially life-saving items.
