  1. I have used STP 5 in 1 cleaner with good results. These cleaners do fall into the area of snake oil since regular modern pump gas already has detergents. But since I have read that DI engine do get dirty with crud due to the technology I put a bottle or two in per year to help keep things inside with less carbon buildup.
  2. Any pics or descriptions on how you carry your ccw firearms in the MKZ. In my armrest now but not hard mounted, looking all options.
  3. Curious on the map software on the 2017 and after models. To the best of my knowledge Lincoln did away with the SD card updates. So where is the map info on our systems? Is it live and current all the time or it is hard coded at the factory and you have to pay for yearly updates via cd or dealer flash. Have found that sometimes it cannot find some places where Google nails it in seconds
  4. Would say that if you like the 4cyc go for it. If thinking about the 6 I would go for a 2017 and get the upgraded 3.0 twin turbo. More powerful than the 3.7 and better mpg. I average between 22 and 23 with my 3.0t driving 75% hwy. good luck on any choice. If and is not important to you you may even consider the hybrid, 40 mpg
  5. Do it!!.....Get the mkz. Same color as mine and I love it. Am sure the Continental is amazing but I cannot get over those spaceship looking seats and the rear end is not my cup of tea.
  6. Lincoln is to classy but it would be a great ad if they put up service charges to remind buyers of other makes what it cost to maintain once free service runs out.
  7. Seems every few days I get reminded what a great choice I made buying a Lincoln. Emailed my dealer today inquiring how much an oil change costs. I am due for my first one in about 3000 miles. my great sales guy replies that an oil change, wash and tire rotation is $55. I was shocked on what a great bargain this is. My Mazda I had befor this was almost 80 for this are service. Again Lincoln proves that you can have a true luxury car without the crazy upkeep cost that is typical with most premium brands. Know people who drive bmw and audi who would kill to get a simple oil surface under $250.
  8. Haha......No kidding. While not economy priced a year old Lincoln is one of the best bargains out there. I paid $15K less than what it went for just one year ago new. Lincoln CPO's are very good deals. Was happy to let the previous owner take the big depression hit.

    Color looks great, love it. Congrats
  10. Awesome, thanks for the tip. will get some!
  11. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use on the metal chrome trim around the windows? Although very new it looks like my trim has some age imperfections. Would like to clean it up and wax. So far soap and water, detailer spray and spray wax have not helped improve its appearance. Want it to look smooth and brite
  12. Just for fun I filled with mid-grade 89 to see if there would be any difference from 87. I feel no performance difference however have noticed that so far about half way though the tank and I am getting 1mpg less. Not exactly scientific of course but so far I notice no gain in spending the extra $4 or $5 per tank for the slightly higher octane #
  13. My understanding is that the twin scroll turbos like mist modern ones come on between Low 2000 to 3000
  14. Anyone else care to add their model, driving habits and mpg?
  15. Figured it would be a useful bit of info for those considering mpg when choosing which engine to go with. My driving habits are about 85% hwy @ about 75 to 85 mph and the remaining being city driving. After one and half weeks or so am averaging 22 mpg with a high of 23. When I was doing city only the first few days was at about 16 to 17 mpg. Of course we all want the highest mpg we can get but all things considered I am happy over all with 22. It is after all 400hp and awd. In comparison my fwd 2013 Mazda cx-5 was giving me 27 mpg. So for the modest loss in mpg I think it is more than a fair trade. Especially fair considering that we are using 87 octane. After doing the simple math our 6 twin turbo cost nearly the same to drive as the sea of turbo 4 bangers out there that produce less power and require premium gas at almost a buck more a gallon or $15+more per fill up. Not going to lie, I was kinda hoping for 25 mpg but at 22 I am above the combined windows sticker estimate and I have never enjoyed driving a car so much.
  16. I think I created a new trend......the cemetery car selfie. You have seen it here first, lol
  17. Thanks. Yep, he had a delta 9 which must have been the length of a school bus and then my favorite, the delta 88, Black with maroon interior. My Olds list of ownership, his 98, cutlass supreme and lastly my intrigue. Was sad when they killed off the brand. the Mkz however is the highest performance and most luxurious ride I have owned. Loving every moment so far.
  18. Received a reply from Spotify, they are aware of the atest version not working with sync. Said they are working on it but do not have a time frame of when it will e corrected.
  19. Lol, was waiting for someone to catch that. Yep, visiting. Dad was always an olds guy, would have gave me some grief about getting a Ford.......until he got inside ?
  20. Finally a pic to share. 2017 reserve 3.0t awd
  21. 2017 reserve running sync Ver. 3.0. Android lg v30 phone when I go to sync 3 apps and search for apps, both Bluetooth or using the cable it searches and says I have no apps to add. Do have, Spotify, accuweather which I see on much of the Lincoln promo shots. And of course many other apps on the phone, yet the car found nothing but Lincoln Way app. Am I missing something really dumb as is usually the case in these situations? Seems silly to have an apps icon if only one Lincoln app qualifies. Thank you in advance for any help
  22. Very good points D. Must be strong and resist, lol. Looking forward to the upcoming week, Typically do about 80mph hwy, which for my previous ride cx-5 it was up there in the revs. This thing hasn’t even begun to stretch its legs, lol. 34 mpg, wow....that is impressive, what year, drive and motor?
