WHEN should I have my CAR OR TRUCK'S fluids flushed?
As is normally the case you should follow your vehicles manufacturer for services intervals. There are typically some baseline rules of thumb you can use. Your brake fluid fluid levels should be checked and topped off, if needed at every oil change. This includes power-steering fluid, brake fluid and transmission fluid. Fuel system flushes should generally be done every 15,000 miles or once a year. You might want to consider an automatic transmission fluid flush once every two years or 24,000 miles. Your manufacturer may have considerably different interval so always check their recommendations
If you operate in extreme driving conditions it is a good idea to scheduling a fluid-exchange service sooner if you notice any of the following:
- Fluid stains in your driveway or parking spot
- Frequent fluid top-offs required
- Dashboard warning lights come on
Typically your vehicles fluid levels, if everything is functioning correctly, should remain relatively stable. If you need top offs every oil change you may have a leak.
