How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter
Here are our top winter maintenance tips for Lincoln vehicles when temperatures begin to plunge:
Check Your Tire Tread
Your tires are the only components of your vehicle to come into contact with the road. On dry roads, having tires with low tread can negatively affect your braking, cornering, and acceleration. On wet or icy roads, low tread could cause you to skid, slide, or have a collision.
Fill Your Tires to Recommended PSI
Cold weather causes the air in your tires to shrink – you may even get a tire pressure warning light if your tires are left unchecked. Filling your tires to the factory recommended PSI helps ensure that they have sufficient pressure to give you the performance you need this winter.
Check Your Fluids
Cold weather and below freezing temperatures can cause your fluids to freeze if they’re not filled to the proper capacity. If your fluids have not been changed in a while, collected moisture could cause certain fluids to freeze in the winter time. Check your fluids to make sure they’re all clean and filled to the proper capacity. If it's been 5,000 miles since your last oil change, or 30,000 miles since your last coolant flush, schedule service and allow our experts to prep your car for winter!
Check Your Battery
Cold weather thickens the fluids in your engine, and causes extra strain on your battery each time you start your car. A weakened battery is more likely to fail in cold weather, leaving you stranded when winter weather is at its worst.
