The Right Automotive Fluids For . Drivers

What grade of oil should I use?

All those automotive fluids can be confusing for . motorists. 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 . motorists and could even cause damage.

In addition to new grades of engine oil, many trucks now leave the factory with synthetic oil. . motorists should always use the recommended grade 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 Texas Express Lube & Auto in .. Each type is designed to protect the cooling system components that are particular to your vehicle. The wrong stuff can void your truck cooling system warranty and could even cause engine damage.

Most passenger vehicles on . roads today use either DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid. Your truck 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.

Once you’ve got that down, it’s easy to remember to check with your friendly Texas Express Lube & Auto technician or truck owner’s manual to find out which automotive fluids to use.
