Even if you regularly check your vehicle’s motor oil, you might not know about the other types of fluid your vehicle relies on to function properly. Here is a breakdown of what types of fluid your vehicle must have, when to check them, and when to replace them. They’re more important than you might think.
Transmission fluid coats the interior of your transmission and its gearbox. It changes the gears in your vehicle. You can think of a transmission as a ten-speed bicycle’s gear changer, helping you maintain high speeds without pedaling fast. Similarly, it allows you to gain extra torque when you need it.
Brake fluid is the medium between your brake pedal and the actual brake calipers and pads near its wheels. Coolant goes in your car’s radiator, effectively making your engine cooler.
