Thanks for the add guys names jason just recently got a 2011 Lincoln MKS ecoboost with 77k on the odometer. Basically stock besides debadging and a boostmax. Still learning about ecoboost but not a stranger to cars at all. Plans are to let it be my daily driver and get decent gas mileage. My other cars include a 2012 Chevy caprice ppv with a cam, nitrous, stall, and couple other things, 97 Chevy Silverado z71, 02 Subaru wrx wagon, and 1980 Ford fairmont getting front halfed and a 5.3. Look forward to learning from you guys.

Welcome to EBPF, Jason, glad to have you & your MKS here!  x2 on pics :D  All those cars ... current projects???  Wow!

Def get all the maintenance done on the MKS.  Should be pretty smooth & reliable after.  I know Lincoln has a longer warranty than Ford, but if you are looking into buying a warranty at all, consider Ford's own FordProtect plans first.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Not all are projects. The caprice has been my daily driver for the last 2-3 years and race car. Truck is a mud toy/hauler if I need. Wrx trans went out but it should be fixed this week and it's a fun driver/off road toy lol. Fairmont has. Wen down for years and slowly making it into my all out racecar. I opted for a 4 year 48k mile warranty from the dealer when I bout it so hopefully I'm covered there. And thank you for the warm welcome sir aplreaciate it guys.

Welcome from a 2010 MKS owner with 140k on the odometer.  My first piece of advice is to learn how to change that PTU fluid if you're a DIYer and to get that changed.  It's probably never been changed before and it gets real nasty.  Lots of info on here about it.

And I also had a 02 wrx back in the day, but the sedan.  Got it new from the dealer right when they started coming out.  Loved that car.  Full turboback exhaust, cobb tuning accessport, and a bunch of other goodies.  I really miss that car.

Deff a do it myselfer as I work on all my car and buddies cars so I will look into that thanks. Look forward to learning more as I go. Got a buddy local that has a 13 and knows just about everything I think there is to know, meth, hot pipes, dp, exhaust, boostmax and more I'm sure I'm forgetting. He was actually my first race in my car same day I got it lol it wasn't pretty lol. Only had boost max on 50% cause dealership put 87 gas and I hadn't tapped plugs yet.

The subbie is fun, has forester suspension on it and getting some 30" mud tires next, 16g turbo, injectors tuned, full 3" car back and just all out fun around 3xx awh is fun in the mud lol.
