The Right Automotive Fluids For Manhattan Drivers

 

What grade of oil should I use?

All those automotive fluids can be confusing for Manhattan auto owners. Recent years have brought new grades of engine oil, types of transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid. The right fluid protects your vehicle and helps it perform at its best. The wrong fluid won’t work as well for Brooklyn motorists and could even cause damage.

In addition to new grades of engine oil, many Japanese Cars now leave the factory with synthetic oil. Brooklyn drivers should always use the grade recommended by their vehicle manufacturer  and type of oil in their engine.

All coolant, also called antifreeze, used to be green. Now there are several other colors of coolant sold at Superior Care Auto Center in Brooklyn. Each type is designed to protect the cooling system components that are particular to your vehicle. The wrong stuff can void your Japanese Car cooling system warranty and could even cause engine damage.

Most passenger vehicles on Brooklyn roads today use either DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid. Your Japanese Car power brake system is specifically designed to use ONE of these types – you need the right one. Higher numbers do not necessarily mean a higher, upgraded fluid.

Now, the vital thing is knowing that your vehicle requires specific grades and types of fluids and that using the right fluids is good and using the wrong ones is bad. Once you’ve got that down, it’s easy to remember to check with your Friendly Superior Care Auto Center service professional or Japanese Car owner’s manual to find out which automotive fluids to use.
