Seasonal maintenance helps to ensure your Lincoln and all its systems keep you safe and comfortable, whatever the temperature or weather outside. As your trusted Lincoln dealership on this side of the tunnels, we want to tell you about some of the maintenance we advise to prepare for each season.
8 Examples of Seasonal Maintenance Available at Your Lincoln Dealership
Tire Pressure Checks
Your tires lose pressure during winter, as their internal pressure tries to equalize with the outside pressure. This automatically drops their PSI by 1 to 2 degrees per 10°F drop in temperature. We’ll correct their pressure so they’ll continue to provide good traction in the spring months ahead.
Filter Replacement
Checking the air filters in spring is advisable. These filters remove dust, dirt, and other debris from the air, but they will eventually become clogged. A blocked engine filter restricts airflow in the engine, resulting in poor combustion and wasted fuel. A clogged cabin filter allows pollen and dirt to circulate inside the cabin and can cause allergies and a musty smell.
AC Service
Top of the list for summer is an AC service. While our Pennsylvania summers are wonderful, you’ll still need refreshing cold air to take the edge off the hottest days. Our technicians will examine and test all AC components to ensure they’re working correctly and ready to deliver cold air on demand.
Coolant Check
The coolant circulates through the engine to remove excess heat. The heat is then transported to the radiator for removal. Low or old coolant drastically slows heat removal, increasing the engine temperature and, combined with the summer heat, potentially causing serious damage. If a coolant change is needed, we can drain and replace it in minutes.
Wiper Blade Replacement
Checking the wiper blades and replacing them if necessary is a priority in the fall. Worn wiper blades can smear rather than clean the windshield, and they can even scratch the glass. As time passes, these scratches can develop into cracks.
Headlight Checks
Shorter days and longer fall nights mean your headlights will see more use, so it’s essential that the bulbs are in good condition and their lenses are clean and clear. Our technicians will replace them if necessary and check the system to ensure it works perfectly.
Battery Testing
Low temperatures can cause an old or weak battery to fail, leaving you stranded in winter. We’ll test your battery to confirm it’s ready for winter. If you need a new battery, we can install one for you in minutes.
Coolant Adjustment
Adjusting the coolant mixture will also help to prepare your Lincoln for winter. Coolant is a mix of antifreeze and water, and the level of antifreeze may need to be increased to prevent the mixture from freezing in very low temperatures.
