Emissions System Maintenance & Service at Downtown Lincoln
Your Lincoln gives you a smooth and efficient ride, and a big part of that comes down to your vehicle’s emissions system. It’s the part that helps control the pollutants your car lets out, so you’re driving cleaner, and just as important, it helps keep your engine running at its best. Like any other part of your vehicle, the emissions system needs regular care to keep doing its job right. As it ages, components such as oxygen sensors, the catalytic converter, and the EVAP system can become clogged, which can quickly snowball into several negative consequences. You may be wondering how to know if your emissions system service is due. Read on with our team at Downtown Lincoln to find out.

What is the Emissions System?
The emissions system in your Lincoln is a group of components designed to reduce the harmful gases produced by your engine’s combustion process. Its primary job is to limit the amount of pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, released into the air. Key parts of the emissions system include:
- Catalytic Converter
- Oxygen Sensors
- Evaporative Emissions System
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation System
What Happens If You Continue Driving with a Failing Emissions System?
Ignoring problems with your emissions system can result in some terrible issues. When parts like the catalytic converter or oxygen sensors start to act up, your vehicle can run less efficiently, which means lower fuel economy and more pollution. You might also see your check engine light coming on, experience rough idling, or even fail Ontario’s emissions testing standards. Worse yet, driving with a faulty emissions system can also cause damage to other engine components, which leads to some issues that are expensive to repair.
