The 2010 Lincoln MKS comes standard with a 3.7L naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This Duratec 37 engine features aluminum construction, variable cam timing, and electronic throttle control. It’s paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The engine provides smooth power delivery and decent fuel economy for a full-size luxury sedan, though it lacks the low-end torque of turbocharged alternatives. An optional 3.5L EcoBoost V6 was also available producing 355 horsepower.

The 2010 Lincoln MKS shares most parts with the 2009-2012 model years, as these represent the first generation with minimal changes. Many engine components from the 3.7L V6 are compatible across 2009-2016 Ford and Lincoln vehicles using the same Duratec 37 powerplant. Body panels and interior components are generally interchangeable between 2009-2012, with some minor trim differences. The 2013-2016 refresh brought updated styling and some different parts, but many mechanical components remain compatible. Always verify part numbers when sourcing components, as running changes and option packages can affect compatibility even within the same model year.

The 3.7L Duratec V6 is generally a reliable engine when properly maintained, but has some known weak points. Water pump failure is the most serious concern, typically occurring between 60,000-100,000 miles and requiring immediate attention to prevent engine damage. Timing chain stretch can develop after 100,000 miles, causing startup noise and performance issues. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles with full synthetic oil help prevent timing chain problems. The engine responds well to preventive maintenance including coolant system flushes every 60,000 miles and spark plug replacement every 100,000 miles. Overall, expect this engine to provide 150,000-200,000 miles of service with proper care.
