Child Safety Features in Lincoln SUVs

When your Lincoln needs a service or repair, two types of parts can be used: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. As your Lincoln dealership, we only use Lincoln OEM parts in all the work we do. We want to tell you some of the many reasons why OEM parts are superior to aftermarket parts. Reasons Why Lincoln OEM Parts Are Superior to Aftermarket Parts They're High Quality OEM parts are designed and engineered to the highest standards. They undergo extensive testing to ensure they're strong and durable, and they're manufactured from the highest-quality materials. They also meet or exceed national and international quality standards, giving you peace of mind that they will last as long as the parts they replace. Aftermarket parts are cheaper than OEM parts, but their lower cost sacrifices quality. They're made from lower-quality materials, which won't last as long as your Lincoln's original parts. They also don't undergo the same stringent testing or meet the same standards as OEM parts. In the long run, aftermarket parts are more expensive as they have to be replaced more frequently. more They Work and Fit Correctly Vehicle design is a painstaking process, as each component must work correctly, so your vehicle delivers the performance it should. In addition, each part must fit perfectly. A less-than-perfect fit can cause performance issues, damage other parts, or be aesthetically unpleasant. OEM parts are identical to the original parts used in your Lincoln's manufacture, so they will always fit and work as efficiently. Aftermarket parts aren't designed for your vehicle or tested with other Lincoln components. They're manufactured to fit a range of different vehicle makes and models. As a result, an aftermarket part might not fit correctly and require adjustment. Components that fit poorly can damage other components and, depending on the part, can reduce vehicle and passenger safety. They Have Warranties Every Lincoln part carries a guarantee that applies for two years and unlimited mileage. In the unlikely event that a part fails under normal operating conditions, it will be replaced at no charge at any Lincoln dealership. OEM parts are also fully compatible with your Lincoln's warranty if it hasn't expired.Aftermarket parts don't carry a warranty. Since they haven't been designed or tested on your Lincoln model, their manufacturers can't guarantee how long the part might last. If an aftermarket part fails, you'd have to buy a replacement and hope it works more successfully. If your Lincoln is still under warranty, any repairs made using aftermarket parts will void the warranty. These are just some of the reasons why we will only use OEM parts.

Most drivers will tell you that getting an oil change is routine maintenance, not unlike getting a physical at the doctor's office or a cleaning at the dentist. Despite this, many people don't understand the benefits of regular oil changes. To help you get ready for your next Lincoln oil change, here are a few reasons why they are a must as well as some tips and tricks for scheduling your next trip. Why You Should Schedule Your Next Lincoln Oil Change Extended Engine Life and Protection While there are certainly other important maintenance tasks for your car's engine, getting an oil change can help protect it as well as extend its projected life expectancy. Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine, reducing friction and making it easier for them to function. If neglected, wear and tear on your vehicle's engine can lead to costly repairs and, in some cases, reduction of your vehicle's value. more Fuel Efficiency Gas prices are sky-high these days, and no one wants to spend more time at the pump than necessary. Luckily, keeping your engine up to date with routine oil changes can lead to better fuel efficiency. A well-lubricated engine doesn't have to work as hard to keep things running smoothly, which means less fuel is needed to keep it going. Improved Performance Everyone should strive to have their vehicle running in top shape, and keeping up with oil changes can help with that. Fresh oil that's free of debris allows your engine to run more efficiently, which can lead to better acceleration, smoother handling, and reduced engine strain. Tips, Tricks, and Things to Keep In Mind When scheduling an oil change, it's important to consider how often you need to change it. With the use of newer synthetic oils and synthetic oil blends, the distance you can go without having to change it is getting farther and farther. However, your owner's manual will have the manufacturer's recommendations for changing your vehicle's oil, and it serves as a good rule of thumb when you're unsure. There are also a few different types of oil you can use for your engine. Traditional motor oil is usually a safe bet for all gasoline engines, but requires more frequent changes. A synthetic blend of motor oil combines traditional and synthetic oil, and is best for vehicles that do quite a bit of driving. Fully synthetic oil is best for newer cars, as the engine technology is typically based on efficiency. Delaying an oil change is a surefire way to land a costly trip to the mechanic.
