Why Your Car Needs Fluid Services
Fluids can wear out just like any other part of your vehicle. In order to do their jobs properly, they need to be checked and replaced now and then. As time passes and you drive more, your vehicle's fluids can break down, wear out, grow contaminated with dirt particles, and otherwise lose their efficacy. Thus, your vehicle needs a regular fluid service to keep tabs on the various fluids coursing through your vehicle and keep everything operating at full strength.
Which Fluids Need Service?
Oil
Oil changes are among the most common items on your vehicle's maintenance schedule. Oil breaks down and accumulates dust and tiny metal particles over time, so it needs to be replaced regularly to help you protect your engine. Driving with old or dirty oil can damage your engine components, so it's best to change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or so, or every six months (whichever comes first).
Coolant
Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is responsible for helping your engine maintain a regular temperature. The average car needs a coolant system flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever milestone you hit first.
Transmission Fluid
While you aren't likely to need to change your transmission fluid very often, it is possible that you will need to have it changed during the course of your vehicle's lifetime. If you notice problems with shifting gears, notice unusual roaring sounds when you accelerate, or find puddles of liquid under your car, it could be a sign that your transmission needs attention.
Brake Fluid
The average car needs new brake fluid every few years. Fluid is what allows hydraulic brake systems to function, allowing you to apply force to your brakes by pressing down on the brake pedal so that you can stop or slow down safely. If your brake fluid is low or in need of replacement, you might find that it's harder slow your vehicle down.
Power Steering Fluid
Like other fluids, power steering fluid can get dirty over time and lose its ability to do its job with the greatest efficiency. Power steering fluid needs to be changed periodically, And we can help you determine when your vehicle should have a power steering fluid flush. It might not be the most common fluid service that your vehicle needs, but staying on top of power steering fluid service can help to ensure steering comfort.
Washer Fluid
Washer fluid is essential because it helps you keep your windshield clear of grime and debris as you drive. It also lubricates the systems that deliver the washer fluid to your windshield, so it's important to keep your washer fluid levels topped up.
