Flushes and Fluids

flushes and fluids service in Yakima, WA
 

Engine oil

Let’s start with engine oil. Moxee drivers who have been paying attention, will have noticed a number of new oil weights on the WA scene in the last several years. Modern engines are built to much tighter tolerances and have very complicated valve trains. The oil must be thin enough to lubricate complicated parts when the engine is cold. The weight of an oil is expressed in terms like 20-W-50 or 5-W-30. The auto manufacturers recommend the weight of oil for each vehicle they make. The recommendation is based on engine design. Your Yakima service center will know what weight your auto maker recommends – and it’s important to follow those recommendations. Your service advisor at AutoMetrics can also offer suggestions for special formulations and can tell you all about conventional and synthetic oils.

Antifreeze and coolant

Antifreeze, or engine coolant, is another area that has become more complicated. For a long time, auto makers only recommended a couple of different types of coolant. Now, several different formulations are needed because of the high-tech materials that auto manufacturers are using to build the cooling system. Using the wrong type of coolant in your truck or other vehicle can actually void your warranty, so it’s important to get that right.

Transmission fluid and brake fluid

Transmission fluid is becoming specialized for Yakima vehicles as well. New transmission designs have particular requirements that require specific formulations. Recently, new, somewhat confusing, standards for brake fluid have also been released.

Getting the right fluids done right

Not too long ago, there was a good chance that all of the vehicles at your Yakima house would use many of the same fluids. However, as automotive technology advances, the array of basic automotive fluids WA drivers need will grow. And, some of the formulations will cost a little more for Yakima drivers. Fortunately, AutoMetrics will continue to update their training to keep pace with technology so that you’ll get the right fluids your car needs. It’s all part of the commitment we make to your driving peace of mind.
