Brake fluid:Brake Fluid is very important to maintaining the proper functioning of your brake system. Brake fluid is hydroscopic which means it absorbs moisture. If moisture contaminates the brake system it could corrode some of the internal brake components which in the end may result in a brake failure. Making sure your brake fluid reservoir cap is on is one way to ensure moisture does not contaminate the brake fluid. Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years or when the brake fluid has a 4% moisture content contamination. For the exact manufacture interval brake fluid change check your vehicles owners manual or factory scheduled maintenance. |
Coolant:The main function of this fluid is to cool and maintain engine operating temperature. Also coolant is used to lubricate your internal cooling system components like your water pump. It has a life span and it needs to be periodically tested and replace. When coolant becomes acidic which it can lead to engine corrosion, degrading rubber hoses and system leaks. Fortunately by changing the coolant periodically it will save you unnecessary and premature repairs. |
