Lincoln Aviator Engine Oil Reviews & Buying Guide

When selecting engine oil for your Lincoln Aviator, consider the mileage of the Lincoln Aviator and the condition of the engine. For a new Lincoln Aviator and a low mileage vehicle, it is best to use synthetic engine oil.

Synthetic oil for Lincoln Aviator

Synthetic oil has a significant impact on Lincoln Aviator fuel consumption due to its physical and chemical characteristics. Because of its high fluidity and friction properties, friction losses in the Lincoln Aviator engine are significantly reduced. This means that more of the energy released in the combustion process will be transferred directly to the wheels. As a result, the gas pedal in the Lincoln Aviator becomes more responsive with less fuel consumption.

When using synthetic oil in the Lincoln Aviator, there is less friction in the engine and transmission at low temperatures than when using high viscosity oil. This provides improved Lincoln Aviator engine starting performance, fuel economy, and lower emissions when the Lincoln Aviator is operated in cold cycle mode.

Lincoln Aviator 5w-20 Engine Oil

For new Lincoln Aviator vehicles with less than 75,000 miles, we recommend using a synthetic 5w-20 viscosity engine oil that meets the API SN, SP, ILSAC GF-5, GF-6 specifications.

Lincoln Aviator Engine Oil Review

Engine Oil Type for Lincoln Aviator

There are two types of engine oils: conventional oil and synthetic oil. Lately, Lincoln Aviator owners choose synthetic motor oil simply because of its quality and good molecular consistency.

Synthetic oils for the Lincoln Aviator have many additives that help increase engine compression as well as reduce fuel consumption. Winter starting the engine is much easier since the oil does not thicken as much at low temperatures.

The only disadvantage of synthetic oil is its high price compared to conventional oil. We recommend using synthetic oil in newer Lincoln Aviator models, and conventional motor oil in older Lincoln Aviator models.
