Fall and Winter Maintenance Guide in Houston, TX

Brakes

---

You don’t want to chance driving with bad brakes. If your Lincoln doesn’t have the stopping power it needs to come to a halt quickly, you’re putting yourself and your passengers at risk every time you hit the road. Don’t ignore the signs that say your brakes may be going bad. Squealing, squeaking, strange vibrations, and soft pedal feel are all indicators that your brakes may need to be serviced or replaced.

Tires

---

There’s a fair amount that you can do to keep your tires healthy and even extend their lifespans. Without even bringing your Lincoln SUV to our service center, you can take steps like checking the pressure levels, re-inflating as needed, and checking for visual signs of wear and tear. You can also check to make sure your tires have enough tread by inserting a penny between the grooves. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, there’s not enough tread on the tires of your Lincoln. Our team of certified technicians can also diagnose issues and replace tires while performing regularly scheduled rotations and balancing, which helps you get the most out of your tires.

Battery

---

Vehicle batteries should be replaced about every three or five years depending on your driving style. If you purchased your new SUV from West Point Lincoln about that long ago and haven’t had to change the battery, a quick inspection will help determine if your battery still has enough life left for reliable driving or if a replacement is needed. Battery inspections and replacements alike can be performed quickly, and the end result is the assurance that you won’t be left stranded at the roadside in any season.

Oil and filter

---

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, sticking to a manufacturer-recommended oil change schedule is critical for the longevity of your Lincoln. Regular oil and filter changes allow the engine to perform at its best, whether it’s the zippy 2.3-liter turbo in your Lincoln Corsair or the mighty 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 in the Lincoln Navigator. Without enough clean oil and a clean filter, your engine will struggle to perform up to its potential. Go long enough without service, and you may even cause expensive damage.
