Never underestimate the importance of keeping your Lincoln interior clean and free from dust and dirt that can cause odors and allergies. Below, your Lincoln dealership provides valuable tips on maintaining a pristine interior that will not only look good and smell fresh but also preserve your vehicle's resale value. 1. Protect the Interior From the Sun Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause significant damage to your Lincoln's steering wheel, dashboard, and upholstery. Without protecting the interior from the sun's harmful rays, the dashboard may lose its gloss finish and develop cracks, and the upholstery may fade, crack, or tear. Use front and rear window protectors or sun shades to shield your vehicle's interior from the sun. Another option is to tint the windows to reduce the impact of sunlight. Additionally, consider using steering wheel and seat covers if your car stands in the sun for extended periods. more 2. Use Specialized Automotive Cleaning Products Choose specialized automotive cleaners and conditioners to clean your vehicle's interior that will not harm the surfaces and upholstery. Never use products that contain ammonia. Avoid household cleaners, oil and petroleum-based products, silicone-based leather conditioners, alcohol solutions, or cleaning products intended for vinyl, plastic, or rubber on your upholstery. 3. Keep the Cabin Clean Keeping your vehicle's cabin clean will maintain its luxurious appeal. Use a vacuum cleaner to eliminate dust and dirt and the attachments to reach into the various nooks and crannies. Wash the mats thoroughly with carpet shampoo to remove grime, and wait until they are completely dry before replacing them. When cleaning the dashboard, use a soft microfiber cloth and a UV-protective cleaning product designed for automotive interiors to safeguard the surface from drying out and cracking. Be gentle and take extra care when cleaning the console controls and infotainment system. 4. Take Care of the Leather Upholstery Gently wipe your upholstery's leather surface with a soft, damp cloth using Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. After cleaning, make sure to dry the area thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Treat spills and stains promptly. 5. Use Odor Eliminators If you want your vehicle's interior always to smell fresh, it's best to use odor eliminators specifically designed for automotive use. Unlike spray or gel air fresheners, which only mask odors, automotive odor eliminators effectively get rid of unwanted smells. You can always add a gel or spray air freshener afterward. Keeping your cabin clean and protected might feel overwhelming, but the good news is that you only need to do it once a month. If you clean the interior regularly, it will be much easier to manage without requiring deep cleaning every time. For more information on interior car care, call Pugmire Lincoln of Marietta, GA, today. Our team of Lincoln professionals is here to help you take expert care of your vehicle inside and out.

Motor oil is the lifeblood of any car's engine. The oil keeps the many moving engine parts lubricated and clean from debris and corrosion. With this in mind, it's essential to have your car's oil refreshed frequently in order to avoid overheating and other serious engine problems. Let's take a look at how often you should visit your local Lincoln dealership for an oil change. In the past, it was recommended to have motor oil refreshed four times a year for most vehicles. However, with the modern synthetic motor oil that most cars use today, twice a year will usually suffice. more Although synthetic motor oil can sometimes last longer than six months in decent condition, it's advisable to err on the side of caution with something so important. If your oil begins to dirty and turn into sludge, your engine can rapidly undergo catastrophic damage. What Frequency Does Your Warranty Require? For drivers with a valid warranty, one of the first considerations should be the oil changing intervals stipulated in the warranty. Not only will meeting these guidelines keep your warranty valid, but it will also maintain your engine in excellent condition for longer. This can boost your driving pleasure and also increase the resale value of your car down the road. Consider How Much Pressure You Put on Your Engine Some drivers will need to have their oil refreshed more frequently than others. If you put your engine and motor oil under a great deal more pressure than usual with severe driving conditions, then your oil will wear down faster. More severe driving conditions include commuting in stop-and-go traffic, towing heavy trailers, track driving, and extremely hot or cold weather. Regular short drives under five miles also put more pressure on the engine; short trips don't give the motor oil time to warm up to optimal lubricating temperature, which can cause increased wear and tear on the engine. Seek Guidance at Your Local Lincoln Dealership As with most car-related issues, it's wise to consult a trusted professional. The technicians at your local dealership can take your personal driving habits and conditions into consideration and recommend an optimal schedule for changing your oil. They can also send you reminders whenever a scheduled servicing visit is due, saving you from the risk of forgetting. For many drivers, this is the best way to ensure their vehicles remain in tip-top condition at all times. Have your oil refreshed today at Pugmire Lincoln of Marietta in Marietta, GA. We're a local full-service dealership providing the region's discerning Lincoln drivers with exceptional vehicles and customer service.

Tires are fundamental for the safety of your Lincoln. Recognizing the signs that you need to visit your local Lincoln dealer for new tires will help you keep your car running smoothly. These are the signs to look out for. Your Tread Depth is Below 2/32 of an Inch Tire tread is what allows your car to grip the road. As you drive, the tread wears down. Once it reaches 2/32", your tires are no longer safe. You can check your remaining tread depth by using a penny. Simply stick the penny into the groove of your tire's tread with Lincoln upside down. If you can see the top of his head over your tire tread, you need to replace the tire. more Tread Wear Indicator Bars Are Visible Modern tires have a feature called tread wear indicator bars to make it easier than ever to tell if your tread has worn down. Narrow bands of smooth rubber in the tread grooves, the indicator bars are hard to see when your tires are new. As your tires wear down, the tread wear indicators seem to rise to the surface. When they are flush with your tread, you need to replace your tires. Constantly Low Tire Pressure If you frequently need to add air to your tires, you likely have a slow leak. This might be due to a puncture, or damage to the tire or rim. Sometimes leaks can be repaired, but driving on underinflated tires can damage them. Shaking or Vibration If you feel new, unusual shaking or vibration while driving, your tires may be in trouble. Shaking could be caused by uneven wear, a problem with your tire's internal structure, or poor balance and alignment. Sidewall Damage Check for visible cracks or cuts in the sidewall of your tires. Damage to the sidewall weakens your tires, making them more likely to fail. Bumps, Bulges, or Blisters Lumps or blistered bumps that bulge out from the surface of your tire are a big red flag. These indicate weak spots where the internal structure of your tire is failing. Because these spots are so much weaker than the rest of your tire, it may cause a sudden blowout. You should not drive on blistered tires, but replace them at once. Irregular Wear on the Tread If one side of your tire looks more worn down than the other, it's called uneven wear. This can happen if you haven't rotated your tires, or if you drove on tires that were underinflated for too long. Visit Your Lincoln Dealership for New Tires When you notice any of these signs, it's time to visit the dealership. Our expert technicians will make sure your fresh tires are a great match for your vehicle and can perform alignment checks, balancing and rotation as well as installation.

If you've driven your Lincoln for several years, it may be time to replace the battery. Having a good battery in place ensures that your vehicle starts easily and that other electrical components, like the lights and power windows, operate reliably. Fortunately, getting a new car battery installed at your Lincoln dealership is an easy service that benefits your vehicle in several ways. Here's what to expect when scheduling battery service. You'll Get Expert Service From Factory-Trained Technicians Today's vehicles are complex. That's why it's important to have a factory-trained technician who knows all the ins and outs of the model you're driving work on your battery. In addition to that expertise, our dealership makes battery service easy and convenient. more We offer complimentary computerized battery tests that show just how much power your battery has left, and when you'll need to replace it. Each Motorcraft battery we install is backed by a limited warranty. We also offer mobile service, pickup and delivery, and a complimentary loaner while your vehicle is being worked on. If you prefer to wait, our customer lounge offers complimentary WiFi. A New Battery Is Good for Your Car Replacing the battery will make it easier to start your vehicle without resorting to jumping-starting, which can damage the alternator if done repeatedly. A fresh battery will also improve the handling and fuel efficiency of the vehicle, and reduce wear and tear. Batteries that are old and corroded are more likely to leak, which can cause damage to cables or the starter and create the need for more extensive repairs. Replacing your battery in a timely fashion supports the overall performance of your vehicle and means fewer trips to our service department. It also supports the resale value of your vehicle by keeping it in good condition. Your New Battery Will Last Several Years Batteries typically last three or four years, but there are steps you can take to prolong their life. Using your vehicle primarily for short trips can weaken the battery, so it's a good idea to take a longer drive every couple of weeks. Occasionally taking the scenic route to work will prolong the charge in your battery. Being intentional about powering off everything in the vehicle when the ignition is off also helps. If you leave the headlights or interior lights on overnight when the car is not in operation, you may come out in the morning to a dead battery. Having a good battery in place ensures that your Lincoln is safe, reliable, and operating at its peak. Don't put off this essential service. When you're ready to schedule your next service appointment, call Pugmire Lincoln of Marietta.
