Did you know that there are several fluids, other than the oil, that play an important role in your vehicle? At Griffin Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, we narrowed it down to three fluids that need to be maintained to ensure your vehicle runs optimally.

1. Transmission Fluid

When a vehicle’s transmission breaks or needs repairs, it automatically causes a huge dent in your budget. For this reason, it’s imperative to always keep your transmission fluid’s always replenished. Just like the oil in your engine, the transmission fluid can be checked by removing the dipstick in the transmission.

2. Brake Fluid

Located near the back of the engine compartment, the brake fluid reservoir can be opened by unscrewing the cap. When you look inside, you’ll be able to see the level of brake fluid you have left. It should be within a half-inch of the cap. If the level is lower, it’s time to take your vehicle to our RAM service center near Watertown, WI to get it checked.

3. Windshield Washer Fluid

Though the windshield washer fluid isn’t vital in keeping your car running, it’s important to maintain because it will help you see better while you’re driving. This is especially important for the upcoming winter months.

Additional fluids to keep an eye on include brake fluid, power steering fluid, and radiator fluid, all vital components that ensure your vehicle runs at its peak.

Checking these three fluids is vital for keeping your car operating optimally and safely. Whether you drive a new Jeep SUV or Dodge car, our service center at Griffin Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM is your trusted source for all auto maintenance.
