Additional Notes

  • Across all Lincoln MKZ configurations covered, the brake fluid fill specification for the hydraulic brake system is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the reservoir must be kept between the marked minimum and maximum indicators on the reservoir body rather than filled to a precise measured quantity.
  • The 3.5 V6 and 3.5 V6 AWD configurations for 2007-2009 carry the most detailed service schedule of any MKZ variant listed, specifying both a check interval of every 15,000 miles and a change interval of every 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • A 36-month change interval appears across the 2.0 GTDI, 2.0 GTDI AWD, 2.0 Hybrid (CAN), 2.0 Hybrid (USA), 3.0 V6 Ti-VCT, and 3.0 V6 Ti-VCT AWD configurations, but only for model year ranges beginning with 2018-2019 or 2019-2020, not for earlier production years of the same engines.
  • The 3.5 V6 and 3.5 V6 AWD variants for 2010-2013 carry no change or check interval in the specifications, in contrast to the 2007-2009 versions of the same engine family, which include both a mileage-based check and a time-based change interval.
  • The 2.0 GTDI and 2.0 GTDI AWD configurations for 2013-2018 list only the min-to-max level specification with no accompanying service interval, while the same drivetrains from 2018 onward add the 36-month change interval.
  • The 2.0 Hybrid variants are split into separate Canadian (CAN) and United States (USA) market entries from 2015 onward, though both market versions share identical brake fluid specifications within each corresponding year range.
  • The 2.5 Hybrid, covering 2011-2013, lists only the between-min-and-max level specification with no time-based or mileage-based service interval, consistent with other MKZ configurations from that same general period.
  • The 3.7 V6 Ti-VCT and 3.7 V6 Ti-VCT AWD, both spanning 2013-2016, carry only the level-based fill specification and no service interval, placing them in the same category as the 2.0 GTDI variants of the same years.
  • The 3.0 V6 Ti-VCT and 3.0 V6 Ti-VCT AWD configurations introduced in 2016 follow the same pattern as the 2.0 GTDI family: no change interval for the 2016-2018 range, with the 36-month change interval appearing only from the 2018-2019 range onward.
