Types of car fluids and their colors - primary diagnosis of your car leaks

One of the basic rules when you want to keep your car in good condition is to know the colors of various fluids that are used by various parts of the car. This helps to detect the problem when you notice the leaking fluid under the car. following, I will tell you what color are the fluids present inside your car assemblies:
- Radiator fluid - color is neon green or may be neon orange on some brands. Both types have the same utility only substances differ in component parts. It can be found in any store in the field and can be: already diluted or undiluted. The diluted one can be used immediately and undiluted one has to be diluted with distilled water in proportions announced by the manufacturer on the product labeling. It is preferable that the dilution to be made into a separate container and only with distilled water.
- Brake fluid - when new it has a clear color looks very much like water color. But when it was used for some time becomes amber color. When it reaches a dark color is a sign that must be changed
- Power steering fluid - it is clear again has a color resembling the color of water, as well as brake fluid. While it is used becomes an amber color and when it turns over and becomes dirty color to be changed.
- Engine oil and gear oil - has a amber color but may vary depending on the type by little nuances. When it is used motor oil turns black.
- Automatic transmission fluid - it is red because it is used in a closed environment and always has to keep the red color with slight variations. Check your car manual to check the time when it should be changed.
I hope those mentioned above will help in the future and and below you have what i had explained above:
