A new maintenance plan on most 2011 LINCOLN’s makes it easier than even for West Herr LINCOLN to help Buffalo LINCOLN drivers take care their vehicles.

It’s smarter than ever to own a LINCOLN. In addition to being some of the most technologically advanced, luxurious vehicles on the road, every new 2011 LINCOLN vehicle now includes no-charge four-year/50,000-mile maintenance. Maintenance items include:

Oil changes

Regular oil changes are the best way to prevent costly maintenance issues further down the road. While there is no exact science to recommend how frequently oil changes should happen, the general consensus is every 3 months or every 3,000 miles. Owner’s manuals vary greatly in terms of suggested oil change frequency, from every 2,000 miles to every 10,000 miles.

When determining when to schedule your next oil change in Buffalo, West Herr LINCOLN suggests taking into consideration a few factors: how you drive, the condition and age of the engine, the external environment you drive in, and the amount of stop-and-go versus highway driving. And, if you’re still unsure of when is best, feel free to ask an expert at your LINCOLN dealer serving Buffalo.

What is known is that regularly changing your oil is crucial for vehicle health. Due to the high operating temperatures of the engines, oil under goes thermal breakdowns, becoming less effective as a lubricant. When the oil stops lubricating, parts of the engine rub together and wear each other out, leading to costly repairs and replacement.

Tire rotations

It is important to rotate your tires to even out the wear. The front tires will wear the outside edge because the tire leans over when you turn a corner. Slight outside edge wear that appears to be the same on both front tires is no reason to be alarmed. If you find one of the front tires has significantly more wear than the other, then there is cause for alarm. The rear tires just follow the fronts so their wear is minimal.

It is very important to rotate your tires every 6,000 to 7,500 miles. Three things should occur during a tire rotation. First, all the tires should be properly inflated. Second, the tires should be rotated. Third, a physical inspection of the brakes should be made while the tires are off. West Herr LINCOLN provides this service to help prolong the life of your tires.

Vehicle inspections

A vehicle is inspected to ensure that it conforms to regulations governing safety, emissions, or both. Inspection can be required at various times, e.g., periodically or on transfer of title to a vehicle. Inspection is required every year in the United States. If required periodically, it is often termed periodic motor vehicle inspection typical intervals are every two years and every year. West Herr LINCOLN can provide full details on the regulations for Buffalo drivers.

So whether you’re leasing or purchasing, maintaining your new LINCOLN vehicle is as smart as driving one.
