With the amount of stress the different components in your vehicle go through, it's no wonder that they need help from lubricants in order to stay in mint condition. Not keeping up with their maintenance can have dire consequences on your vehicle's life expectancy, its performance, and its effectiveness. To help you keep up with your vehicle's lubricants properly, the following post will share with you which one it needs and why that is.

How to Lubricate Your Vehicle Properly

  1. Let's begin with the most important lubricant that your vehicle requires to function perfectly: the synthetic oil. It's main purpose is to protect and lubricate the engine, smoothing its processes, helping it work effectively, and ensuring it stays in top shape for longer. Without it, your engine could be rendered useless in no-time, so don't forget to replace the vehicle's synthetic oil with regularity (around twice a year should do - though you should check with your mechanic or in the owner's manual to get more accurate information).
  2. Next up, you need a lubricant for the transmission system, as its moving parts can also be subjected to wear and tear after some time. That's why you require transmission fluid that can assist them and provide the care that will maintain them.
  3. The following lubricant is more than just a lubricant; it's also a hydraulic fluid that transfers power from one part of the system to the next. Said lubricant is the&brake fluid. Needless to say, you want a braking system that works without a flaw, so you shouldn't neglect this important fluid.
  4. Another lubricant that also doubles as a hydraulic fluid is the&power steering fluid. As its name states, it helps the power steering system, which allows you to navigate and guide your vehicle without much problem.
  5. Systems aren't the only components in your vehicle that need lubrication. As a matter of fact, the wheel bearings, for example, also need to be protected from the daily wear and tear process. For those parts, you can use a thick&grease to shield them.
  6. Your vehicle's lubrication needs can vary depending on the type of vehicle you ride. For instance, a more powerful vehicle (a big truck, for example), will need a more resistant lubricant, such as a&gear lube to protect the components involved in its functioning.
  7. Not all lubricants will be needed to decelerate the components' wear and tear process. Some, will be needed to loosen up items that are stuck to the vehicle, such as bolt. For those instances, you will need a&penetration lubricant that can reach to the tighter nooks and crannies.
  8. Last but not least, there will be situations in which you will need a lubricant to loosen up components in tight spaces that don't permit wet lubricants. Enter,&dry lubricants, which can work perfectly for a door lock, for example.
