What engine does the Lincoln MKX use?
2 Answers
The Lincoln MKX is equipped with either a 2.0T or 2.7T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 253 HP, maximum power output of 186 KW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and peak torque of 378 N.m. The Lincoln MKX is produced at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Canada and is a pure import. For daily maintenance of the Lincoln MKX engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've driven many cars, and the Lincoln MKX's engine left a deep impression on me, especially the post-2015 models which mainly used a 3.7L V6 gasoline engine producing around 305 horsepower. The torque was robust, making highway overtaking effortless. In city driving, the fuel consumption was about 18 mpg, which isn't low but acceptable, while on the highway it could reach 25 mpg, relatively more economical. The engine sound was tuned to be deep and quiet, with excellent sound insulation technology ensuring a serene cabin, and minimal vibration for comfort during long trips. It shares a platform with the Ford Edge but is more finely tuned, with good durability—I've seen older models with 150,000 miles still running stably. Maintenance isn't expensive, and oil changes are convenient, making it a luxury SUV that balances performance and daily usability.
