regularly have to check the fluid levels in our car, so it is best to consult the manual for our car where are located the different fluids.
Usually this inspection is recommended once a week and whenever we go on a trip along a highway.
fluid levels are varied, we check depending on our car, usually include motor oil, brake fluid, coolant or antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid and power steering fluid.
To check the levels of our car we should always do so on a level surface with the engine cold, as they expand with the heat give erroneous results pudiéndonos also avoid accidents such as burns.
engine oil is measured with a rod that brings indicated the maximum and minimum. It may also contain a mark in the area where you can and should add oil, usually recovers oil in quantities of one pint. To check the oil in our car we should remove the check dipstick, wipe with a dry cloth, put it back to the top and draw again to see the level mark.
We must be careful not to exceed the maximum level because we could end up with traces of oil in the catalyst, the oil would be burned by shortening the life of the catalyst. On the other hand, having the oil below the minimum mark could result in wear on internal engine parts due to lack of lubrication.
Antifreeze also brings marked maximum and minimum levels, be careful with the proportion of water-antifreeze, or to avoid problems use ready-made solutions.
Brake fluid is a very important element that should not neglect, just as be very careful with this liquid as it is highly corrosive, does not skimp on the safety management.
The location of each of these varies in each of the models and auto manufacturers, just as the maximum and minimum marks and above all the specifications you need to replenish fluids, so we suggest reading carefully your user manual for your car.
