While the one service almost everyone remembers to take care of is an oil change, the rest of your automotive fluids can sometimes be neglected. Sometimes our instinct can be to simply save off the mechanic when he starts suggesting things to do in addition to your oil change, but if we do that too often there’s a good chance we’ll go without getting our fluids serviced & replaced for too long, which can lead to issues.
The other fluids in your engine bay that need to get checked, in addition to your oil of course, include radiator fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, air conditioning coolant, and yes even washer fluid. These are all important to make sure your vehicle continues to run the way it should.
