Do Severe Conditions Affect Your Lincoln Nautilus Service Schedule?

As you can see above, there are milestones marked with "severe service." This is because harsh driving conditions like these can warrant early component replacements:

• Consistent, short trips of less than five to 10 miles.
• Extreme weather, including cold or hot climates.
• Dusty weather, like from sandstorms or dust storms.
• Idling more than is recommended in traffic.
• Driving while under a heavy load or while towing a heavy load.
