The Importance Of Fluid Checks

• Engine Health: Without engine oil, your engine parts experience too much heat and friction, which can cause a catastrophic failure. Even old oil can be less effective, as it gets dirty and full of debris over time.
• Transmission Performance: Your transmission can’t run without transmission fluid — it lubricates the system so it can shift smoothly.
• Cooling System Efficiency: Your engine gets incredibly hot while it’s working, and it can get incredibly cold while sitting unused in the winter. Coolant and antifreeze help ensure that neither of those temperature extremes are able to damage your engine.
• Braking Reliability: Your brakes are a hydraulic system, meaning they need fluid to maintain pressure. Your brakes are your first line of defense when it comes to safety, so keep your brake fluid clean and topped up.
• Power Steering Ease: Power steering fluid ensures smooth steering. Low levels can make steering harder and damage the system.
