Lincoln Scheduled Maintenance Parts

In order to run, the engine needs a precise mixture of fuel and air. When outside air is drawn into the engine, the air filter prevents harmful dirt and debris from entering the system.
The alternator belt is a flexible rubber belt driven by the engine to power the alternator. The alternator belt can be the common "V" profile or the more modern flat-ribbed style.
The cabin air filter prevents dust, pollen, and other debris from entering the passenger compartment through the climate control (HVAC) system.
Coolant is the fluid that flows through the engine’s cooling system. Its main purpose is to transfer heat generated by the engine to the radiator so the engine doesn’t overheat.
These belts can be used individually or grouped together as part of the belt/pulley system that is driven by the engine crankshaft to run such items as the air conditioning compressor, alternator, and power steering pump.
Engine oil provides lubrication for all internal moving parts of an engine. It also helps conduct heat away from these components.
The airflow for the HV battery is filtered by a serviceable air filter that is similar in design to an A/C cabin filter. As the hybrid system charges and discharges the high voltage hybrid battery pack, large amounts of heat are created. In order to dissipate this heat, cooled and filtered air is...
The oil drain plug gasket seals the oil drain plug where it connects to the oil pan.
The engine oil filter removes contaminants from the engine oil before it circulates throughout the engine.
The spark plug uses the energy produced by the ignition coil to generate the spark necessary to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The platinum/iridium spark plug uses harder metals on the electrodes, which increases their life to over 100,000 miles in most applications.
