What’s Under the Hood: Essential Systems Explained

  • Power Steering

    The power steering system allows you to control your vehicle’s wheels with ease. It relies on hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering fluid, which lubricates and keeps the system clean from dirt and contaminants. As the additives in the fluid wear down over time, the system becomes less efficient.


    When neglected, problems like sludge buildup, varnish, stiffness, and leaks can occur. To keep your steering smooth and responsive, most manufacturers recommend a power steering fluid exchange every 50,000 miles. This service removes harmful deposits, revitalizes seals, eliminates whining noises, improves cold-weather performance, and helps prevent premature failure.

  • Radiator / Cooling System

    The radiator’s main job is to prevent the engine from overheating by dissipating heat. It transfers heat from the engine coolant to the surrounding air. The coolant not only absorbs engine heat but also prevents corrosion and lubricates components within the cooling system.


    Over time, coolant can degrade and lose effectiveness. To avoid overheating and serious mechanical damage, manufacturers typically recommend a coolant flush every 100,000 to 120,000 miles.

  • Battery

    The battery’s primary function is to start your engine. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over to power your vehicle’s electrical systems. While most batteries have an expected lifespan, they can fail prematurely due to internal issues—such as dead cells—or external factors like corrosion on the terminals.


    Corrosion buildup on or around the positive and negative terminals can drain the battery’s power and reduce its effectiveness. Regular inspections help ensure your battery stays reliable when you need it most.

  • Differential

    The differential allows your wheels to rotate at different speeds, especially when turning, which improves traction and control. It contains gears that are lubricated with a special fluid called gear oil, which helps dissipate heat and protect moving parts from wear.


    Manufacturers recommend a differential fluid change every 45,000 to 60,000 miles. This service helps combat oxidation and deterioration caused by heat and high-speed driving. It also prevents gear oil foaming and reduces the risk of gear wear or spalling.

  • Transfer Case

    Found in most four-wheel drive vehicles, the transfer case is a gearbox that splits power from the transmission to both the front and rear wheels.


    Manufacturers generally recommend servicing the transfer case every 30,000 miles. This process includes draining the old fluid, reinstalling the drain plug (torqued to spec), then refilling with fresh ATF fluid until it slightly overflows—at which point the fill plug is also torqued to spec. This service ensures proper lubrication and long-term reliability of the 4WD system.
