Reason to do a Fluid Inspection
Your Vehicle is a major investment and may be dependent on everyday life.
Checking the fluids regularly prevents
breakdown,
mechanical damage and
accidents.
Service your Motor Oil
Ensuring
that your engine is well lubricated is key to maintaining your engine's
health and preventing overheating, arguably your car engine's worst
enemy. It is usually advisable to let the engine cool for about five
minutes before measuring the oil level. You should also make sure the
car is in a leveled surface.
Service your Transmission fluidTransmission fluid acts as a lubricant of all the moving parts within your transmission. An array of fluids are used for different transmissions. Automatic transmissions use only Automatic transmission fluid while Manual transmissions use a variety of oils such as: regular motor oil and heavyweight hypoid gear oil.
Manual: Most manufacturers recommend that manual transmission fluid be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Depending on use.
Automatic: Service intervals vary from every 30,000 miles
Please consult one of our service technicians to discuss how to take care of your vehicle.Service your Brake fluidBrake
fluid inspections are an important yet easy to perform vehicle safety
check. Often car owners will complain about brake system problems, in
particular about the way the brakes feel or sound. The car owner should
have a basic education on things that they can check themselves as well
as being able to recognize signs of a problem.
Service your CoolantAllow
your vehicle to run properly. Adding the right mixture to your coolant
system is important especially during the winter season.
Coolant is the fluid that absorbs all heat generated
from the engine. It is the coolant that then dissipates it through the
radiator. Some of the heat is also dissipated by way of the heat
exchanger in the passenger console during winters. You often call the
Coolant as antifreeze. In fact Coolant comes as a mixture of ethylene
or propylene glycol and water. Generally it is a blended mixture of
either of the two glycols with water in equal proportions (that is, in a
50/50 ratio).Service your Radiator fluidllow
the engine to run more cleanly and efficiently. This in turn will allow
your engine to last as long as possible and keep it safe from abnormal
wear and tear. If that leak is not fixed properly as soon as possible,
your engine may overheat causing very costly damage including:
- A blown out top header
- Destruction of your radiator entirely
- Cracking or blowing out the engine's head gasket
- Total engine seizure
Windshield Washer fluidIdentify
the windshield washer fluid reservoir (refer to the owner's manual if
necessary) and make sure there fluid level is above "MIN" or as
recommended in the manual. Add more fluid if needed. Remember that, even
though the windshield washer fluid is not need to make the vehicle run,
it can be hazardous to operate the car without fluid, especially in
dusty or muddy roads where the windshield driving visibility can be
compromised.
Reason for a Power Steering FlushSteering fluid is a form of lubrication used to assist your car's
power
steering system to run efficiently and smoothly. If your car's power
steering pump suffers from a serious mechanical issues, you may need to
flush your steering fluid. Conflicts with steering fluid may cause acccidents and considerable damage to your engine.
