What fluids does my car need?

Engine Oil

Engine oil is crucial for lubricating the engine’s moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing wear and tear. It also helps in cooling the engine and keeping it clean by suspending dirt particles. Regular oil changes are necessary to ensure your engine remains healthy.

Coolant

Coolant, or antifreeze, regulates your engine's temperature, preventing it from overheating or freezing. It circulates through the engine, absorbing excess heat and dissipating it through the radiator. At Schulz Automotive, we offer radiator flush services to remove old coolant and replace it with fresh fluid, ensuring your cooling system operates efficiently.

Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid lubricates the components of your car’s transmission, whether automatic or manual. It is essential for smooth gear shifts and protecting the transmission from damage. Regular checks and changes of this fluid can prevent costly repairs down the line.

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that transfers force into pressure, enabling your vehicle's braking system to function. Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, reducing its effectiveness. Ensuring your brake fluid is in good condition is vital for your safety on the road.

Power Steering Fluid

Power steering fluid helps in the smooth operation of your vehicle’s steering system, making it easier to turn the wheel. Like other fluids, it needs to be checked and replaced as necessary to maintain optimal steering performance.

Windshield Washer Fluid

While it may not affect your vehicle's performance, windshield washer fluid is important for visibility. It helps clean the windshield, removing dirt, bugs, and other debris.
