Which fluid levels should be checked during the fluid level checks?

The selection of diesel fuel, DEF fluid, engine oil, transmission oil, radiator fluid, power steering fluid, window washer fluid, and air system fluid for checks reflects a comprehensive approach to vehicle maintenance. Each of these fluids plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of the vehicle.

• Diesel fuel is essential for engine operation; ensuring adequate levels avoids running out and experiencing operational delays.

• DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is crucial for reducing emissions in diesel engines, and its levels must be monitored to comply with environmental regulations and maintain engine performance.

• Engine oil lubricates engine components, reducing wear and heat; insufficient oil can lead to engine failure.

• Transmission oil is vital for the smooth operation of the vehicle’s transmission system; low levels can lead to difficult gear shifts and potential damage.

• Radiator fluid is a key component in the cooling system, preventing overheating; proper levels help maintain optimal engine temperature during operation.

• Power steering fluid ensures effective steering response; low levels can result in hard steering and decreased maneuverability.

• Window washer fluid is important for visibility; maintaining its level ensures that the driver can clean the windshield as needed, especially in response to dirt or adverse weather conditions.

• Checking the air system fluid is crucial for vehicles
