Regular Service for Lincoln Parts Helps Ensure Longevity for Your Car

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Lincoln vehicle. While we pride ourselves on the high-quality long-lasting Lincoln parts that comprise our vehicles, no automobile is immune from the wear of time or accidental happenstance.

To help prepare drivers near our New Bern, NC Lincoln dealership, we assembled this brief guide that outlines the components of your vehicle that can require more attention than others.

Staying On Top of the Electrical System

Vehicles are increasingly reliant on electrical components and systems in their operation and staying ahead of your car's battery can help avoid unexpected trouble. In mere minutes, our skilled technicians can check your battery's charge and, if needed, get you a durable replacement.

Letting a tired battery run for too long can put undue strain on your car's electrical system that can manifest in problems with the lights, the motor, or power-assisted features.

Changing Oil and Filters

We all know about the importance of getting a regular oil change in New Bern, NC, but your oil filter shouldn't be neglected either. This critical component helps to catch impurities like sludge and recycle cleaner oil back into your engine.

Over time, this buildup can cause a blockage that impedes the flow of oil and can ultimately lead to engine trouble. The next time you get your oil changed, be sure to ask our technicians about the state of your filter.

Tires Make the World Go Round

One of the most frequently overlooked areas of regular automobile maintenance is tire rotation. Depending upon which axle and wheel they are on, each of your tires absorbs the force from the pavement in different places.

By rotating which axle and position each tire occupies on your car, it helps for the tires to wear evenly. This not only keeps your tires in top quality for longer, but it also keeps your overall drivetrain in optimal condition, giving you a smooth ride and steady fuel economy.

While this should generally occur every six months or so, the exact timing depends on a number of factors, including driver habits, driving conditions, and accumulated wear on the tires. To learn which routine is best for your tires, visit our Lincoln service center and our friendly technicians will be happy to help.
