2007 Lincoln Mark LT

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Mark LT.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 2007 Lincoln Mark LT is a truck driven by a 4-speed automatic transmission that returns EPA fuel economy ratings of 12 city and 16 highway for a 14 mpg combined average, while its specified 7.0-quart oil capacity calls for 5W-20 API viscosity. On the reliability front, this model year experienced zero recalls and garnered only seven total owner complaints, with the electrical system being the primary area of concern. When contextualized within the Mark LT's 2005-2008 model run, the 2007 iteration sits on the more favorable end of the complaint history, steering well clear of the 31 complaints logged against the previous 2006 model year and indicating a markedly more stable ownership experience.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Federal data shows the 2007 model year sits on the downslope of a sharp 2006 spike, when complaints reached 31 and recalls totaled 5, compared with just 7 complaints and zero recalls for 2007 after a 2005 baseline of 1 complaint and 2 recalls. While 2008 continued the downward trend with only 2 complaints and zero recalls, 2007 still carried 1 investigation—the same count as 2008—and recorded 3 crash-related complaints alongside 0 fire complaints. Technical service bulletins also fell by half from the 2006 peak, dropping from 34 to 17, though the data does not specify root causes for the top complaint areas, which include electrical system, exterior lighting, and vehicle speed control. Relative to the generation’s 2006 outlier year, 2007 represents a significant stabilization in both recalls and owner complaints. That marked improvement makes it a reasonable used purchase within this generation, and a notably lower-risk choice than 2006.
