Whether you're a new or seasoned driver, you probably know that your vehicle relies on fluids to operate properly. If your automobile doesn't have enough of these fluids or their quality has been compromised, your vehicle may experience problems. Â
Â
To prevent that, schedule routine auto fluid service on schedule to have your car's fluids checked, replenished, or replaced in keeping with the recommendations included in your owner's manual. Â
Â
Oil Â
Of all the fluids your vehicle relies on, oil is arguably the most vital. Among other things, oil keeps your engine's moving parts lubricated and protects your engine from damaging debris. With such critical responsibilities, it's no wonder that you need to get your oil changed regularly. Â
Â
While some cars can go longer and farther between oil changes, a lot of models will need an oil change every 5,000 miles or so, or every six months.Â
 Â
Coolant Â
You'll need to have your coolant, or antifreeze, replaced every two to three years. This fluid is necessary to regulate the heat your engine is exposed to, and it should be checked at least twice every year, in the winter and again in the summer. Â
Â
Transmission Fluid Â
Even the latest models will need new fluids as they age and accrue mileage. Depending on the specific vehicle and the type of transmission it has, it's wise to change an automobile's transmission fluid every 50,000 - 100,000 miles. Â
Â
Brake Fluid Â
High-quality brake fluid is an absolute must to keep your brakes in good condition. When you visit Hall | MileOne Autogroup, we'll tell you that it's a good idea to have your brake fluid checked every time you bring your car to our service center for an oil and oil filter change. Your brake fluid should be replaced every two years or so. Â
Â
Power Steering Fluid Â
This fluid is necessary to ensure your steering system is properly lubricated and minimal effort is needed to turn the wheels via the steering wheel. While your power steering fluid may never need to be flushed, you will have to have the fluid topped off from time to time. Â
Â
Windshield Wiper Fluid Â
Windshield wiper fluid is something you can pick up in our car parts center. You'll need to replenish the fluid whenever you're running low, something we'll be happy to do for you if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. Â
