Q: Why Check Your Car's Vital Fluids?
 
Low engine fluid levels make driving more difficult and can lead to serious damage and shorter engine life. Jiffy Lube technicians will check the following fluid
levels with every full service oil change and advise you of their condition as part of your full service:

1. Power Steering Fluid (PSF) is made especially for the demands of a power steering unit. PSF has special additives to keep the power steering unit from
absorbing water or contaminants.

2. Brake Fluid is formulated to keep the brake lines soft and protect the brake parts from contaminants. The brake system is based on a hydraulic system, and it
is important that the fluid meet Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications to ensure system safety.

3. Windshield Washer Fluid, a mixture of water and methanol alcohol surfactant is needed on demand to clear road film from your windshield and improve
visibility.

4. Manual or Automatic Transmission Fluid provides lubrication, keeps seals and gaskets soft and protects parts. Transmission fluid also provides varying
amounts of slippage for the transmission parts.

5. Antifreeze prevents engine coolant freeze up in winter, raises the boiling point of coolant in the summer, and protects the cooling system from rust and
corrosion year round.

6. Battery Water levels need to be full to maintain the proper ratio of water to acid. The correct mixture allows the battery to charge properly. Some cars have
maintenance free batteries, which are sealed and do not require checking.

7. Differential Fluid protects the moving metal surfaces of the differential gears from friction and wear. The fluid also reduces shock and vibration in the rear of
the car.
