Your vehicle's lubrication is no joke, as it is probably the one maintenance task that's going to ensure that its components remain in mint condition for a lot longer. However, to keep your vehicle properly lubricated and protected, you first need to learn which are the lubes that you should employ on it. For tips on the matter, continue reading the post below.
How to Lubricate Your Vehicle Properly
First and foremost, we need to begin the list with the single most important oil that your vehicle needs, synthetic motor oil. Without it, the engine in your vehicle would heat up and break down a lot more quickly. This is why you need to replace it with regularity.
Next up, there's your transmission system which, as you may be aware, is the system in charge with changing your speed when you're driving. Still, the friction caused by its moving components can lead to excessive wear and tear. Enter, the transmission fluid with helps it remain in top shape.
The braking system is also in need of some break fluid. Different from the previous two, this lubricant is also a hydraulic fluid, which basically means it aids in transferring the power the brakes need to stop the vehicle.
The following lube on the list is another hydraulic fluid, only this one is meant to help out the power steering system: the power steering fluid. In this case, this lube helps out the system that allows you to steer the wheel when you're on the road.
The different components in your vehicle have different needs. For example, some of them will require a lube with a thicker consistency. To meet said needs, you will have to employ a grease on those components, like on wheel bearings.
Another lube you will need, especially if you own a big vehicle (like a truck) that needs to perform more arduous tasks, is the gear lube. It will provide the lubrication your vehicle needs to remain as powerful as always.
Not all lubrication in your vehicle is meant to be a protective layer. In some cases, you will need a lube to perform very specific tasks, such as loosen a bolt. For those occasions, a penetration lubricant has the thin consistency required to fit into those extremely tight spaces.
Last but not least, you may need a dry lubricant. This one is also thinner, which means it will also seep into tight areas. However, this one is used for spots that don't allow moisture, such as a door lock.
