Which Auto Fluids Need Replacement?

Here’s your general run-down of which fluids should be replaced and when.

Engine Oil

Most drivers at least manage to take their car in for the occasional oil change. But that’s the bare minimum that your vehicle requires. You should schedule oil changes every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on what your owner's manual recommends. Fresh oil keeps the engine cool, lubricated, and clean. When the oil is too dirty, your engine can become damaged.

Coolant

Most drivers at least manage to take their car in for the occasional oil change. But that’s the bare minimum that your vehicle requires. You should schedule oil changes every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on what your owner's manual recommends. Fresh oil keeps the engine cool, lubricated, and clean. When the oil is too dirty, your engine can become damaged.

Another measure to keep your engine cool is antifreeze or coolant. It only needs to be replaced every 2 to three years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Transmission Fluid

This keeps your transmission cool and lubricated. Depending on your driving habits and transmission type, it is suggested that your transmission fluid be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Consult your owner’s manual and a trusted mechanic to determine your vehicle's best course of action.

Brake Fluid

This is crucial to the efficacy of your braking system. Brake fluid sends pressure through your brake lines to stop your vehicle. Over time, this must be flushed and replaced. Schedule this service every 2-3 years or 30,000 miles.
