To be truly educated about a vehicle, it is important to know the type of motor oil that it takes. It is also important to understand the myths related to motor oil that may widely circulate. For instance, you may believe that motor oil has to be changed every 3,000 miles. The truth is that you may be able to go up to 7,000 between oil changes. If you are planning on going on a long road trip, you typically don't need to change your oil unless you are getting close to the 7,000-mile threshold. However, it may still be possible to drive the vehicle safely until you get home. At that point, it would be wise to contact our service center at Lincoln of Wayne in Wayne, NJ to schedule an oil change. Regular oil changes allow engine parts to be properly lubricated and free from dirt, metal shavings or other debris.

Many people have experienced the frustration of trying to start a vehicle in winter only to find the battery dead. Battery lifespan is not the only reason a failure occurs. In winter, the battery loses up to 20 percent of its power secondary to the energy needed to start an engine having cold, thick oil. In winter, drivers are also more likely to use headlights due to shortened days and windshield wipers because of precipitation. Batteries also use a lot of power in the summer. Extreme heat causes drivers to use air-conditioning. The heat also causes battery fluid to evaporate. If not checked and refilled periodically, battery damage and failure may occur. If not addressed before winter, a vehicle may have difficulty starting or may not start at all. Our technicians at Lincoln of Wayne can easily check your battery fluid level along with the battery posts and connections to ensure all are functioning properly. Schedule your appointment today!

When winter comes, there's a simple practice you can follow that will keep your car running and help it start better during those very cold temperatures. That practice is keeping your gas tank full at all times and not letting it go below half full. You might think you'll save money by using minimal gas and only putting a little bit in at a time, but failing to keep it at full could result in problems. Problems of Letting Your Gas Go Below Half Full in Winter Condensation could occur in your gas tank causing water to drop into the gas. Water from the condensation can seep into your fuel lines and then freeze them. Frozen fuel lines mean your car will not start, and they could entail high repair costs. At Lincoln of Wayne, we want you to keep your gas tank full so that you're not stranded in the winter, and we also want to make sure your car has had a tune-up so it won't have other problems in this season. So, bring it to our dealership in Wayne sometime so we can make sure you're prepared.

We at Lincoln of Wayne know that driving is more than just a way to get around, it's a way to go out and have a good time. But anytime you're operating a motor-vehicle, there's a risk of accident or injury. So called "Move Over" laws exist to mitigate this risk, and to keep motorists, police officers, paramedics, and others safe while doing their duty or going about their daily business. Generally, "Move Over" laws require drivers to merge into lanes away from broken down cars and emergency response vehicles located on the shoulder or on the side of the road. Further, "Move Over" laws exist in virtually every part of the United States. So, keep safe when you're out there on the road. Be aware of the conditions around you, and act quickly to move away from a stalled, stranded, or stopped vehicle on the side of the road should you see one.

After carefully cooking a holiday meal to take to a relative's house or the potluck at work, the last thing you want to happen is that everything gets scrambled on the drive over. It may not affect the pineapple upside down cake you baked, but it can wreak havoc on the rest of the meal if you're not careful. To prevent your holiday meal from becoming a mess while it's being transported, there are some things you can do to ensure its safe delivery. Use glass and plastic containers with airtight seals to see how food fares when turned over or placed on its side. Invest in insulated covers or use towels to keep hot food at its ideal temperature. If you don't have containers that come with an insulated bag, opt to use a larger cardboard box that you've line with bath towels or kitchen towels to produce another layer of insulation. Lincoln of Wayne and staff want to wish you a cheery and bright holiday season!
