Do you put transmission oil in a Lincoln ls?

Yes, a Lincoln LS requires transmission fluid. However, it's crucial to know *which* type of transmission fluid. Lincoln LS models used different transmissions (automatic or manual) and different fluids depending on the year and specific transmission. You should never just put in any transmission fluid.

To find the correct type of transmission fluid for your specific Lincoln LS, you need to:

1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will specify the exact type and amount of fluid required.

2. Check the transmission dipstick (if equipped): Some transmissions have a dipstick with recommendations on the fluid type. However, this isn't always present in modern vehicles.

3. Consult a Lincoln dealership or a reputable mechanic: They can identify your transmission type and recommend the correct fluid.

Using the wrong transmission fluid can severely damage your transmission, leading to costly repairs. Always prioritize using the manufacturer's recommended fluid.
