Fluid Maintenance

posted on

Q: Besides motor oil, what other lubricants and fluids need to be changed to keep my car running in top condition? – Mr. Hatfield

 

A: Mr. Hatfield,

Other essential fluids include coolant, and transmission, power steering and brake fluid. These are crucial to the operation of the various systems in your car, truck or van. Transmission and power steering fluid bathe, lubricate, and protect important gears. Coolant regulates engine temperature. Brake fluid multiplies the force you apply to your brake pedal so that you can stop a two ton vehicle traveling at highway speeds. At one time, motorists did not need to check levels and add antifreeze, transmission fluid, etc. Today, if you need to add any of these fluids, at least between oil changes, something is wrong. They are designed to last tens of thousands of miles before needing replacement. As part of our oil change, Tire Pros will check the condition and levels of all your automotive fluids.
