Hi, this is David, once again here at South Bay Ford. I’m going to show you some amazing features with the Ford Corsair, specifically with the key fob. We have a lot of unique features that many manufacturers don’t have, so let me go over a few things that you can do with the key fob.

As you know, on a traditional key fob, you have your unlock and lock buttons. However, this one has a new button for Ford, which is the remote start for the vehicle. You also have your trunk button and the panic button.

If you unlock the vehicle once by pressing the button once, the light will turn on. But, if you touch it twice and press it twice, all the doors around the car will unlock as well. If you press the lock button, the entire car will lock, and the side mirrors will go in to avoid getting damaged in narrow streets.

Ford has also put in a great feature that involves only these two buttons. If it’s summertime and it’s really hot, you can just unlock the car and hold the unlock button. Your windows will automatically come down, so you can breathe a little bit. If you don’t want the windows down anymore, you can do the same thing with the lock button, and the windows will start going up.

One unique feature with the Lincoln is that they let you know when the car is actually turned on. If we lock it and quickly press these two buttons, the car will turn on, and a little light turns green to let you know that the vehicle is on.

As long as you have your key with you, you can just glide over the handle, and that would unlock the car keylessly. If you want to lock the car, you just press a little tab with these little rows, and it will automatically lock the vehicle for you.

Coming over to the back, one of the great things with the key fob is that you can actually open the trunk with just this button. If you press it twice, the trunk will begin opening, and if you want it to go down, you can just press the same button, and the trunk will start going down. As long as you have the key fob with you within a three-meter range or nine feet, the trunk back here can be kicked open as well.

All the features I’ve covered right now with the key fob will just be with this button. But, sometimes you may run out of battery, and you need the actual key itself. You can always grab this key, stick it in this area, and open the car. This way, you won’t be locked out of your car, and you always have the traditional key just in case of emergencies.

That’s it for the key fob on the Lincoln Corsair over here at South Bay Ford.

Grandpa always told you to change your oil on a regular basis. But what does regular mean? How often you should perform this service depends on the vehicle type, oil type and driving conditions.

Oil change intervals for older vehicles

Cars built more than a decade ago typically use conventional engine oil instead of synthetic. The guideline has always been to change oil in these vehicles every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Some manufacturers might push things a little further, recommending a 5 month or 5,000-mile interval.

A more frequent interval should be followed for vehicles driven under one or more of the following:

• Consistent short trips under 5 miles
• Extreme temperatures or dusty climates
• Excessive stop-and-go driving
• Towing or hauling heavy loads

Oil change intervals for newer vehicles

Many modern vehicles – including Lincolns – recommend using synthetic engine oil. Typically, these vehicles are also equipped with an oil life monitoring system to tell you when an oil change is required. These systems used to be somewhat inaccurate, as they calculated oil life based on times and miles. Newer versions analyze engine operating conditions to determine when the oil begins to degrade. This makes them much more reliable and eliminates the “severe” service schedule. Now, the vehicle can detect driving conditions that may affect oil life.

But that doesn’t mean you should rely completely on the oil life monitoring system. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule should always be followed – regardless of what the vehicle is telling you. Many modern vehicles have oil change intervals of 7,500 or even 10,000 miles. This eliminates the old 3 months/3,000 miles standard, saving you both time and money. If you don’t have an owner’s manual handy, the South Bay Lincoln team is happy to look up your vehicle’s recommended oil change interval.

South Bay Lincoln service can also provide guidance and answer any oil change questions you may have.

Oil change services

Regular oil changes are a vital part of car care. During oil change services, old oil is drained from the engine and fresh oil is put back in. The oil filter is also replaced. This process has several benefits:

• Lubrication
• Cooling
• Helps maintain a proper oil level
• Improves gas mileage
• Helps your vehicle last longer

Not performing regular oil changes can result in extensive engine damage and a repair bill. A low oil level, sludge build up, or engine oil that has broken down can lead to lack of engine lubrication. This causes friction between internal engine parts. Eventually, the parts overheat and fail, causing catastrophic engine failure. So, that’s why you should change your oil. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual is the golden rule for when you should change it.
