If you live or commute to work in Strongsville, you are familiar with city driving and the toll it can take on your vehicle. For example, when motor oil does not have time to reach its proper operating temperature, your engine’s parts can be exposed to unwanted sludge, heat, and inadequate lubrication—causing damage to your engine over time. And oil is just one type of fluid in your vehicle—there are a variety of essential fluids that need to be well maintained if you want to protect your vehicle and keep it performing optimally.
While most drivers know that their oil should be changed every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, they may not be as familiar with the other types of fluids that also need to be serviced. This includes brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, differential (axle) fluid, transfer case fluids, and radiator coolant. All of these fluids must be regularly inspected and flushed to ensure that they don’t begin to compromise the performance and condition of your vehicle.
From oxidation to moisture buildup, there are a variety of reasons why your vehicle fluids may become contaminated. Over time, fluids can break down due to excessive heat, chemical reactions, and contact with outside air. If you continue to run your vehicle on old or contaminated fluids, you are potentially damaging your vehicle’s parts. For example, when moisture builds up on your brake system, the brake pedals’ performance can be altered and the brake system can become corroded.
