Monitoring Fluids
Your Chevrolet or Chevrolet vehicle relies on a collection of fluids to keep its systems running smoothly. If those fluids become contaminated or depleted, that will significantly hinder the proper performance of your vehicle. Every car owner in Lincoln, IL, should keep an eye on their car’s fluids by checking under the hood every month.
Motor oil
The lifeblood of your vehicle, this fluid coats the engine’s innards to lubricate them and prevent scraping. If this fluid is tainted or running low, it can cause permanent damage to the powertrain. Replace the engine oil every season on your Chevrolet or Chevrolet vehicle.
Transmission fluid
Just as engine oil lubricates the engine, transmission fluid lubricates the gears in the transmission. The big difference is that this fluid won’t leak out or become contaminated as quickly as motor oil does. So, if you notice something’s wrong with this fluid, you need to see a mechanic immediately.
Brake fluid
The hydraulic system that causes the depression of the brake pedal to apply pressure from the brake pads relies on this fluid. If it’s sludgy or low, the brakes won’t activate properly. Make sure you always have enough brake fluid in your car.
Antifreeze
Also known as coolant, this liquid fills the radiator and keeps the car from overheating. It also helps keep the engine warm when it’s winter in Lincoln. So, you should always make sure that the coolant is filled before summer and winter.
Power steering fluid
Your car uses this liquid to maintain a smooth connection between the steering wheel and axles. Otherwise, the components will grind together and sound like a loud creaking.
