WHY SHOULD I CHECK THE FLUIDS IN MY CAR?
WHY SHOULD I CHECK THE FLUIDS IN MY CAR?
Checking the fluids regularly in your vehicle is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car running at it’s best.
Engine Oil
Your car’s engine oil is probably the first that comes to mind. If your oil level is low, it is important to add more. If your vehicle is burning oil, it needs to be checked out. When your car is low on oil, you risk permanently damaging your engine.
Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid keeps your car’s gears moving. If your transmission fluid is low or if it’s brown or smells burnt, it’s time to replace the fluid.
Engine Coolant
Your vehicle’s coolant keeps your engine from running too hot. If your coolant levels are low, your engine could overheat leaving you stranded.
Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid is important to keep your vehicle’s steering running smoothly. If it is low, it could mean you have a leak and it needs to be checked by a professional.
Brake Fluid
It’s important your brake fluid level is where it should be and that the fluid is clean. If the fluid appears brown, it is time to have the fluid replaced. Low brake fluid can cause that spongy feeling when you step on the brake pedal. If your brake fluid becomes contaminated, it can affect how your brake system functions leading to safety issues.
