Inside your vehicle, various specialized fluids help keep your car moving as smoothly as possible. Over time, these fluids begin to break down and work less efficiently than they used to. This leads to you needing one of several car fluid services. Here's a list of the most common procedures completed at our dealership. Visit Acura of Sherman Oaks to learn more today.

 

Engine Oil

All gas-powered engines require engine oil to operate efficiently and safely. When this oil begins to break down, it can cause overheating and other issues with your Acura parts. Depending on your needs, there are several types of engine oil, including synthetic oil, which lasts longer but costs more. The frequency at which you change your oil greatly depends on the type you use, so it's best to check your owner's manual or ask our technicians for further guidance.

Coolant

The coolant inside your engine helps prevent engine overheating and corrosion. It doesn't need to be changed as frequently, but like other fluids, it's prone to breaking down with use. We recommend changing your coolant every few years, periodically checking levels, and topping off as necessary. If the coolant is chronically low, it may indicate a leak that could lead to overheating; if you notice this, visit us immediately.

Brake Fluid

The fluid inside your brakes helps prevent corrosion and lubricates all the moving parts for a smoother drive. Since most brake systems operate with hydraulics, this fluid is vital for proper stopping power. If you notice your brakes are softer than before or it's been two years since your last change, you should replace this fluid.

Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid is critical whether your vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission. If you notice that your transmission fluid is darker or dirtier than usual, it has likely been contaminated and needs to be replaced. Even if these symptoms don't appear, changing this fluid every 25,000 miles is a good idea.
