| Synthetic oil better on engine parts than conventional ? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | 427HISS | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, thanks for all the great reviews and advise ! We bought a outstanding looking and driving 2016 Lincoln mkz with 62,000 miles. It's in almost perfecting condition except for some stone chips in the candy apple red paint on the hood. Question, is using synthetic oil better on the rotating assembly and valve train vs conventional oil ? I don't buy into the change oil every 15,000 miles. Maybe,...if you changed the oil filter every 5,000 miles, as it's the engines liver, ya know, to clean the blood for a longer life. So, will synthetic oil easier on ... | |||||
| To shift or not to shift | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | 59 buick | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, big fan! Recently bought a 2013 Lincoln mkz with the 3.7, 100k mostly highway. Aside from swollen lug nuts issue, absolutely love the car. Transmission can be switched to manual shifting in 'S' mode. Not sure if S stands for Sport or Standard. Transmission will shift on it's own when a certain rpm is reached. Question is, will this cause problems if driven in S and not shifting myself. I prefer the S mode and no shiftingbut don't want to cause any damage to tranny. Thanks | |||||
| Vibration driving under 20mph ? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Rcnj | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty. I have a very fine vibration, almost like a lite rumble that I feel both on the steering wheel as well as it resonating through the chassis. This only happens at low speeds under about 20mph. Doesn’t matter the direction I turn the wheel nor if I’m on the brakes or not. I don’t believe it to be an out of balance tire. Hope you can help me. thanks once again ! 08 Lincoln mkz Awd | |||||

| The Continental is probably the best option I’d say based on its features, reliability, styling, and materials. If you’re looking for good mpg get the mkz hybrid but just to let you know Lincoln is getting a electric sedan soon they say for their 100th anniversary which is supposedly game changing but don’t even consider the Buick or the Chrysler. | |||||
| Dealer Scam? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Ell4 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2018 Lincoln mkz. It has 25000 miles. I am buying it out to ride out these high car prices as the residual value is $4000 lower than the sale price. The dealer requires a safety check at their location. They told me the rotors are too rusted to pass and that I should replace the rear brakes entirely. The rear brakes have 6/32 to go. The rotors don't look rusty. Is this a scam? | |||||

| No and they won't give me details. I came home and Googled issues with EcoBoost engine. Apparently there is a class action lawsuit going on. If you have 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2019 Ford Fusion, 2015-2018 Ford Edge, 2017-2019 Lincoln MKC, 2017-2019 Lincoln mkz. Stop everything have your vehicle checked out now. My new car might need a new engine. Theres's a class-action lawsuit just filed says that the 1.5-liter, 1.6-liter, and 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines leak coolant into cylinders. | |||||

| I personally would buy neither since I would rather buy an Acura, Volvo, Lexus, or Infiniti, but if I had to pick, I would go with the Lincoln mkz, since it's based on the Ford Fusion, which is relatively reliable depending on which engine you get, but I would look at the 3.7 V6 engines since those are better than the Ford Ecoboost trash. Never buy Ford EcoBoost since they are not very well-made engines. Also stay away from the 300, LaCrosse, and continental, they are all endless money pits. | |||||

| hard shifting | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | craigmoore@live.ca | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2013 Lincoln mkz. The transmission shifts hard freqyuently from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 gear. Doesn't seem to matter if I drive easy or put more acceleration into it, it does the same thing. I've read this is a known problem but I would like to get it to go away. I've had the fluid in the transmission changed but no difference. It has the 2L turbo and has been well cared for. 130,000 km Any suggestions? | |||||
| Answer to: What's with American manufacturers today | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | CoopersMark | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I was looking at new sedans just to see what's out there, and I've found the US ones are gone! Taurus & fusion, lacrosse and regal, impala, mkz, all going or gone. All that remain are the Cadillac CT's, the Malibu, Tesla s & 3, and the Charger(?). I just don't get it. The right sedan is more practical than a coupe, doesn't stick out for speed traps, can have great performance and handling, and look a lot sharper than hatches & suv's. Am I crazy? Or should I not worry about it since I'd probably give my business to mazda or honda anyway? | |||||
| Did I make a mistake buying this car sight unseen? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Cooler04 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 2018 Lincoln mkz 3.0 twin turbo AWD vehicle, 29,400 miles, bought sight unseen. Dealer delivered from 5.5 hours away, drove my trade in away. Got more from my trade in than I paid for it, and car is under factory warranty for 9 more months, so had some assurances. Car drove great, sounds great, coolant full upon rest, so I took possession. Today, 4 days later, I finally checked fluids and such. Lincoln dealer said they did oil change before sending to me. When I checked the oil, it seems to be way too full, about three quarters inch above the full line ... | |||||
| Answer to: Octane boost vs premium gas | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If only it were that simple, then we’d be doing it too. (You must be on to a secret.) Stick to the premium gasoline in your area. A 2018 Lincoln mkz with Black Label (highest trim for that vehicle) is a premium vehicle, definitely not cheap brand new. Why get a vehicle like that and then cheap out on gasoline or look for a shortcut? | |||||
| Octane boost vs premium gas | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | RonnyR | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ok I just bought a used 2018 Lincoln mkz black label. Its a 3.0 turbo charged engine. It states it take the premium gas 93 octane i believe. I filled up and it cost me $68 for a full tank. If I put regular gas 89 octane I believe and add a bottle of octane boost from say Walmart for $1-2 it would save me almost $15 per tank. It it safe to do this? | |||||

| Kerem, the OP was talking about the full-size luxury sedan the Lincoln MKS (not the midsize mkz) which shares the same platform as the Ford Taurus; However, the problems it has and the end conclusion is still the same. | |||||
