Ditto on the positive opinions on Amsoil. I like Amsoil a bit better than Redline although to be fair, I've only used Redline once versus quite a variety of uses and vehicles with Amsoil lubricants. My other vehicles are 4wd trucks that I bang them offroad, pretty severe service in other...

I've been using standard Sylvania SilverStar bulbs for quite awhile and they are a real nice bulb. Switched from SilverStar to Hella bulbs on my truck and actully think the Hella perform a bit better than standard SilverStar bulbs, more light on the road. One real positive thing about...

Hi folks... I'm a low volume poster for sure but lurk through LVC every few weeks. Many thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas and opinions on things. Wanted to give an update for the 06 LS that I have had about 16 months now. I've put about 40K miles on it since acquiring it. I'm...

Depends entirely on if you go with standard or premium level bulbs. Standard halogens are probably towards $15 a pair. Premium bulbs are generally in the mid-$40 a pair. PIAA bulbs are towards $70 a pair and are both over priced and over hyped IMHO. I like to change bulbs in pairs...

Many thanks... It was the screw towards the fender side of your picture that I was missing. Can you believe it though that the owners manual said to go to the dealer! That blew me away! Easily 3 out of 4 times I have ever blown out a head or tail light, I have been on a road trip miles...

What an embarasing question! LOL! My owners manual says to go to the dealer to change the bulbs in the headlight modules on my 06 LS. What a crock! No room to get a hand behind the light modules so tryed to remove the headlight housing. Found the two that are on towards the inside of...

This is right on with what my 06 LS (V8) gets according to the MPG computer. If anything, I get a notch greater. Tires, load, engine tune, lubricant condition, speed, weather, geography and elevation can really play havoc though with making blanket assumptions on what the MPG should be...

Ditto what pektel said about air in the cooling system... This can cause some wierd temperature fluctuations and have been bit by this happening a number of times in various vehicles. Even if it is not the problem, makes sense to me to rule it out before jumping to mechanical fixes that cost...

Naaa... I don't mind talking about the price... I paid $13K for it. Edmunds at the time listed the retail at about $20k. I suspect the book value has decreased in the last few months though. It's pretty stripped down for a Lincoln. I don't think it has any options at all on it. Even...

It had 46K miles on it and have it at 52K now after about 4-months.

Yep, it sure can! We get a "free" standard warranty with a new car but when buying a used car, the extended warranty is something to think about for sure. It's just not that often to come across a used gem owned by the little old lady next door that wrapped up low, easy miles and had 100%...

I acquired an 06 LS about 4-months ago and had it at a local Lincoln dealer last week to have several things checked out and fixed. From what I could tell from the carfax report plus a telephone call to the leasing dealer, the LS had been on a 3-year lease and was returned August 08. They...

Hey there... Probably the top upgrade for snow and ice driving to improve traction (and safety) is to switch to winter tires. They are specificly designed for snow, slush, ice and low temperatures. Most folks choose to mount them on separate wheels instead of demounting and remounting with...

Hey there Lincoln and Caddy folks.... Joined up a few weeks ago but failed to say hello to everyone. So... Hi to ya! I purchased a 06 Lincoln LS a couple of months ago and have been working on getting up to speed on maintenance and performance stuff. Having a blast with it! First...

An older post I know but have a fresh experience and opinion to kick in. Today, I put a set of the Cooper CS4 tires installed on my 06 LS and had the suspension aligned. First thing up was to take them for a test drive. Heading down a city street about 40 mph, I was doing some mild...
