“Comprehensive look at your Car’s Fluids part 2”
This is the second installment of a comprehensive look at the fluid in your car. In this blog, we will look at some of the more unique fluids that you might overlook.
Fuel: Gasoline or Diesel: Most vehicles on the road today are internal combustion engines running on gasoline or diesel fuel. This fluid is the fluid that should most often be added to your car. Locations to fill up your gas tank are generally easy to locate. All operators of motor vehicles should know how to pump gas into their cars. In a future blog, we will cover “How to get Gas” for those who are unsure.
Windshield Washer Fluid: This is the first fluid on the list that is not essential for the ability of your car to run properly, but it does affect your ability to drive properly. Windshield washer fluid assists with the cleaning of your front and rear windshields of dust, salt residue, bugs, bird poop, and other contaminants. It is important to know the weather of your location and refill your windshield washer fluid with the correct model for the temperatures of your area to prevent it from freezing when you need it.
Tire Air Pressure: Air is technically a fluid. It is important to check your tires before you set off to drive. Your car may have a readout from inside your car, or you may have to use a manual gauge. The correct tire pressure for your vehicle is often located on the inside of the driver’s door. Air compressors can often be found at gas stations with the correct nozzles to fill up a tire if it appears low.
Drinks: Staying hydrated is a crucial part of staying alive and operating motor vehicles at are best. It is not advised to drink fluid when the car is moving, but to have it safely placed in a reachable cup holder. To learn more about the cup holder check out the last blog from 2023. Drinking alcoholic beverages while driving is strictly prohibited and highly dangerous.
Fluids are vital for your car, and many of them can be checked and refilled by the average person. It is recommended by Drivers Edge School of Driving to check your fluid often. If you have any questions about your car’s fluids, just ask your instructor.
