How can I tell when an oil change is required using the Lincoln Way®* App?
To use the Oil Life Time and Distance Estimator (OLTDE) in the Lincoln Way App, the following pre-conditions must be met:
- You must have a vehicle added to the Lincoln Way App.
- Your vehicle must be equipped with the Lincoln Connect®** 4G modem.
- Your Lincoln Connect modem must be activated.
- Your vehicle must support the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor feature within the instrument cluster.
- You must be willing to share your vehicle's Connected Vehicle Data with Lincoln.
If Your Vehicle Meets the Requirements Above:
- Log in to the Lincoln Way App.
- Navigate to the Vehicle landing page.
- Select the Oil Life tile.
The OLTDE sends several alerts regarding oil life based on the time and mileage driven between changes.
- Time to Plan - displays when the oil life is at 20% (or 30 days before the next service).
- Change Oil Soon - displays when the oil life is at 5%.
- Change Oil Now - displays when the oil life is 0%.
- Past Due - displays when the oil change due date is two weeks or 500 miles past due.
