Additional Notes
- For the Lincoln MKZ 3.5 V6, both front-wheel drive and AWD configurations share the same power steering fluid specification: the reservoir level is to be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir.
- A "between min and max" fill specification indicates a top-off or inspection standard rather than a measured capacity, meaning no fixed volume is assigned to the service procedure.
- The 2007-2009 model years, across both the standard and AWD 3.5 V6 configurations, carry an explicit inspection interval of every 15,000 miles under normal use conditions.
- The 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 model years, again across both drivetrain variants, list only the min-to-max reservoir standard without an accompanying mileage-based inspection interval.
- All six configurations across the 2007-2013 range are designated under normal use conditions, meaning no separate severe-use interval or capacity distinction is specified for the power steering system.
- The AWD and front-wheel drive variants of the 3.5 V6 share identical power steering fluid specifications within each model year grouping, indicating no drivetrain-related divergence in the hydraulic steering service requirements.
