Winter weather can be tough on your vehicle, including the vital fluids that keep it running smoothly. It's important to check and refill your vehicle's fluids regularly during the colder months. At Lexus of Warwick, our service center is here for all your fluid flushing and replacing needs. Learn more about what makes fluid replacements important below.
The Importance of Vehicle Fluids
Your vehicle relies on a variety of fluids to operate properly. These include engine oil, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Each of these fluids plays a critical role in your vehicle's performance and safety.
Refilling Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid helps make turning the steering wheel easy and smooth. Low power steering fluid can make steering difficult and cause damage to the power steering system. Check your power steering fluid level regularly and top it off as needed.
Refilling Brake Fluid
Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that helps amplify the force applied when you press the brake pedal. Maintaining the proper brake fluid level is essential for safe stopping. Have your brake fluid checked and refilled by a professional mechanic.
Refilling Windshield Washer Fluid in Winter
Driving in winter weather often means contending with road salt, slush, and other grime on your windshield. Windshield washer fluid helps keep your windshield clear for good visibility. Use a winter-grade washer fluid that won't freeze in cold temperatures.
