The automotive industry annually improves its models, now they are all easier to operate and maintain. And such manipulations as calcining spark plugs, the ability to understand the carburetor have not been practiced for a long time. But it is still important to understand the importance of basic fluids for a car. Indeed, the timely replacement of a suitable fluid ensures the proper operation of the mechanisms, and if you do not know the basics and do not follow the rules, sooner or later a breakdown occurs. In our catalog you will find technical fluids from key manufacturers with different purposes and viscosity levels.

Engine oil

For each car model, the oil parameters are recorded in the service book, they should be followed. When choosing an oil, they are usually guided by the viscosity value, as a rule, it cannot be changed. The higher the number after the letter “w”, it indicates the viscosity, the less temperature affects the quality of the oil. Temperature value, it is indicated by the first number and the letter "w" can be changed. The higher this number, the less frost the oil is adapted to, and the cheaper it is. You also need to pay special attention to the tolerances that are written on the back of the canister.

Transmission oil

This fluid is indispensable for lubricating transmissions, steering mechanisms, as well as all types of gear and chain drives (reducers). It needs to be changed less often than a motor one; all the details about the composition and frequency of replacement are in the technical passport of the vehicle. When the car is running, the temperature of the transmission oil can reach +300 g. Celsius. Therefore, it is very important to use the correct oil. Change when fully operational - for manual transmission: from 30,000 to 60,000, for automatic transmission: from 80,000 to 160,000.

Antifreeze

Insufficient liquid leads to overheating. The antifreeze level is visible on the expansion tank, the correct level is between the minimum and maximum mark. Check with the engine cold, each time the hood is opened.

Power steering fluid
Check after 15-30 thousand km of run, or at least once a year, in accordance with technical regulations in the power steering. Change if the fluid is contaminated, there are extraneous sounds emanating from the steering wheel, the stroke becomes hard.

Brake fluid

The consistency (usually visible in a transparent tank) must be in good condition and free of impurities, this is one of the main points for the safe operation of the car.

Wiper

The so-called “anti-freeze” or “washer” provides comfortable control, but does not affect the operation of the car. To choose, you need to focus on the air temperature outside, buy an appropriate wiper and fill as needed.
