Under the hood

Most under the hood maintenance of your vehicle will be done by your trusted mechanic. But there are certain things you can and should do yourself to keep your car running well with no problems and ensure car safety on the road.

The two most critical areas under the hood for vehicle maintenance are the engine oil and the coolant or radiator fluid.

If your car runs low on either of these, it will do a lot of severe, expensive damage very quickly.

The other fluid levels are important also, but there are usually more issues with the oil and coolant more frequently than say the brake fluid and transmission fluid.

Maintaining your vehicles fluid levels and other engine parts is an important habit in safety on the road.
