Types of Fluid
 |  |
There are many different types of fluid at work in your Toyota vehicle, each playing an important role in your Toyota's ability to run properly. Some fluids that could need attention include:
Brake Fluid
Your brake fluid is responsible for helping your vehicle's brake system run properly. When you apply the brake pedal, the brake fluid helps transfer the pressure through your brake lines to the rotors where the car will eventually be stopped.
As your ability to stop is crucial to your vehicle safety-it is important to ensure the quality of your fluid.
Transmission Fluid
Your Toyota's transmission fluid is another important fluid. It serves as both a lubricant and a hydraulic fluid. As is the case, your transmission fluid serves a number of different roles-helping gears shift properly and keeping the transmission at the proper temperature.
Oil
Your car's oil is another key fluid. Your Toyota's oil is one of the fluids that will need the most regular attention-with changes at least once a year depending on vehicle mileage and other conditions. A vehicle's oil is responsible for lubricating engine parts and cleaning the engine. It will eventually become dirty; at that point, it will be time for an oil change to keep your engine running smoothly.
While these aren't all of the fluids at work in your vehicle-they are important ones to attend to. If you suspect any of these fluids need attention, just bring your Toyota into our service center and we'll have you back up and running in an efficient manner.
When to Change Fluids?
The time when you will need to change your vehicle fluids is largely dependent upon the type of fluid. Engine oil needs attention more frequently, while brake fluid typically can go longer before needing to be changed. Keeping up with your vehicle's maintenance schedule can help you learn more about when each fluid will need a replacement.
Some additional factors that can affect when you will need to change vehicle fluids include:
- Vehicle Usage
- Weather
- And more!
