Ever wondered how your car keeps cool? Why your engine needs oil? Or what other fluids your vehicle relies on to properly function? The following information will answer your questions and provide more insight as to the main vehicle fluids you should know of.

Important Fluids That You Should Know About

Taking care of your vehicle requires regular maintenance and constant check ups, a lot of this has to do with making sure that the car fluids remain at a good level and in good conditions. Today we want to discuss a few of the fluids that you should know of and stay on top of.

4  Essential Fluids That Your Vehicle Relies On

1. Motor oil. As you already know, motor oil is the most vital fluid in your engine. All engines are at the mercy of their lubricants because without them they are doomed. Lack of a reliable lubricant means wear on the engine parts and will definitely lead to the engine breaking down, so if there is one fluid you must absolutely always stay on top of, it is motor oil. Motor oil protects the engine from friction, wear, excess heat, and even helps to keep it clean, so it is important to check that the levels often and to change it regularly. Motor oil comes in all shapes and sizes, there are different oil grades, types, brands, and qualities. Check your owner´s manual to learn what type of motor oil your vehicle needs and always opt for synthetic oils as these are the ones that will truly enhance the performance of your engine while fully protecting it. AMSOIL carries a wide variety of synthetic motor oils to match the needs of your vehicle.

2. Transmission Fluid. The transmission fluid of a vehicle is in charge of more than just lubrication for the transmission of your car. It is a slippery lubricant that also cools, prevents corrosion and keeps the seals in good conditions. As the name states, it completes its functions in the transmission of your vehicle and is usually a bright color. The reason why transmission fluid tends to be very bright is because this makes it much easier to detect leaks, and if there is a leak it is important to deal with it immediately or your vehicle could end up in grave danger. For regular cars and non commercial vehicles you can use AMSOIL´s OE Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid. This transmission fluid is perfect for offering wear protection, sludge resistance, and outstanding performance even in extreme temperatures. It is designed ideally for passenger-car/light-truck transmissions. For more demanding performance vehicles such as heavy truck transmissions and those in commercial vehicles such as SUVs, trucks and vans, you can use AMSOIL´s Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid. This transmission fluid is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy towing, elevated temperatures and challenging terrain.
3. Brake Fluid. The brake fluid is also very important to keep your vehicle properly functioning. It is what keeps the brakes in your car working well and reacting fast. That is why you should never let it run low. Since the brake fluid is part of a closed system it isn´t likely that the levels will decrease and it doesn´t need to be regularly changed. However, it is worth checking every once in a while, especially if your brakes start to feel off. Verify that the levels are well maintained and it should be a golden color, once it gets dark brown you should change it to be on the safe side. AMSOIL´s Series 500 High-Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid is one of the most reliable brake fluids on the market and can be used in several types of vehicles, but you should always consult your owner´s manual beforehand.
4. Coolant. As the name states, this valuable fluid is in charge of keeping your vehicle cool. It is quite necessary for the safety or your vehicle as overheating can lead to great harm in your car.  If you want to take care of your vehicle and keep your kids and pets safe make sure you try AMSOIL´s Low Toxicity Antifreeze and Engine Coolant. It provides full coverage for your vehicle keeping it safe from heat and has a low toxicity which makes it less dangerous that regular toxic coolants that could potentially kill your pets if ingested. You should still try to keep it away from kids and pets but if for any reason they should get their hands on it, there is a decrease of risk.
