How often should a car’s fluids be changed?
Lubricants and fluids are some of the most frequently changed parts of any vehicle, though advice varies between types of fluids.
Screen wash should be topped up every month, with a full flush and replacement annually to remove any build-up. Engine oil should be changed every 5,000–15,000 miles or in your yearly service, whichever comes first.
The lifespan of brake fluid, gearbox oil (or transmission fluid), power steering fluid, and antifreeze (or coolant) varies between 30,000 and 80,000 miles, but you can expect to change them every 2 years. These fluids, along with any greased components, will be inspected during a full service so they can be topped up or replaced as needed.
Always check the advice provided in your vehicle handbook and ensure that your vehicle is serviced annually. NAPA Auto Parts is your one-stop solution for automotive lubricants online. Enter your vehicle information in our easy-to-use VRM Look Up to discover the right components for your car.
