The fluids you should be checking at least once a month are:
- Oil
- Windshield wiper fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Brake Fluid
- Coolant
- Transmission Fluid- This may or may not be in your car. Some cars have an electric transmission, which does not need fluid.
The reason for the monthly check is to catch a leak and to check the color and quality of the fluids. For warned is forearmed and catching things early can not only help your car but your wallet as well.
