Fluids that need to be replaced in cars.

A summary guide to the fluid that needs to be replaced in a car, which is very important for extending the life and performance of the car. Here are some details and precautions for each part.

1. Engine oil (Engine Oil)

• Function: Lubricate parts inside the engine, reduce abrasion and help cooling.

• Replaceable distance: every 5,000 - 10,000 km (depending on oil type, such as semi-synthetic or pure synthetic)

• ⚠️ Caution: * Do not let the engine oil dry or become too black because it will wear out the engine quickly.

• Machine oil level should be checked through the measuring rod at least once a month.

2.Coolant / Radiator Solution (Coolant / Antifreeze)

• Function: Regulate the engine temperature from overheating and prevent rust in the radiator

• Phase should be replaced: every 2 - 5 years (or as the car guide indicates)

• ⚠️ Caution: * Do not open the pot lid while the engine is still hot, because high pressure water can scald the skin.

• Specialized coolant should be used. Long-term replenishment of tap water should not be used because of the potential for slag and rust.

3. Brake Fluid

• Duty: Relay pressure from the brake pedal to the brake piston to cause the vehicle to stop.

• Phase to change: every 2 years

• ⚠️ Caution: * Brake fluid has hygroscopic properties. If contaminated water, it will lower the boiling point and cause "brake persistence" or brake absence.

• Be careful not to cause brake fluid to bounce on the car paint because it is corrosive.

4. Transmission Fluid

• Function: Lubricate the gear system, allowing for soft gear change and heat reduction

• Distance to change: Every 60,000 - 80,000 km (or change faster if driving in a heavily congested city)

• ⚠️ Caution: * Only requires a viscosity value or standard that matches the car model. If filled in the wrong type, it may damage the gear system immediately.

5. Power Steering Fluid

• Function: Relieve steering wheel rotation (for hydraulic vehicles)

• Distance to change: every 60,000 - 100,000 km

• ⚠️ Caution: * If the steering is getting noisy at the turn, or it feels heavier, the oil level and leakage should be checked immediately.

6. Glass Spray Water (Windshield Washer Fluid)

• Duty: Clean the windshield to make visibility clear

• Phase to check: Czech and fill evenly

• ⚠️ Caution: * Do not add too much dishwashing liquid or bubbly soap because it may clog the nozzle or leave a sticky stain on the glass.

💡. Additional instructions.

• Car Manual: The optimal period is based on the Owner's Manual of that model because each brand has an unequal maintenance cycle.

• Leak observation: If a drop of oil is found under the car, the car should be brought to the service center immediately to prevent damage.
