Checking your engine fluids may not sound that interesting but once you seen that what goes on inside hood of your car you might change your mind. It is a pretty cool system in there and maintaining it is really important. I’ll show you how to check your oil and all the other fluids going in your engine.

Lets get started. Motor oil is use to lubricate and clean and cool the engine. It can even increase fuel efficiency. So you spend less money on gas and have more money for funds stab. You should check your oil at least once a month. If you notice that it is consistently low you got a leak or your engine is burning oil. Neither is good. Running out of oil can lead to serious damages to your engine which can require expensive repairs and creating needing a new car.

Your car should be parked on a level service and then turned off. Also the engine should be warm. Oil expands when its hot and contracts when its cold so checking it in different temperatures will give inconsistent readings.
