* Engine Size & Type: There were several engine options for that model year. The oil recommendation depends on the specific engine in your car.
* Driving Conditions: Your driving habits (city vs. highway, temperature extremes) and the age/condition of your car also play a role in choosing the right oil.
* Manufacturer Recommendations: The most accurate and reliable information comes directly from the vehicle manufacturer.
Here's how to find the correct oil for your Lincoln Town Car:
1. Check your Owner's Manual: It will list the recommended oil viscosity (like 5W-30 or 10W-40) and oil type (conventional, synthetic, etc.) for your specific engine.
2. Consult your Local Dealership: Contact your local Lincoln dealership for specific recommendations based on your car's current condition and your driving habits.
3. Look for a Sticker Under the Hood: Many cars have a sticker under the hood outlining oil specifications.
4. Use an Online Tool: Websites like www.motorcraft.com (Ford's official parts website) or www.fueleconomy.gov have tools that let you input your vehicle information to find recommended oil.
Remember: Using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
