Fluid Checks is a three-chapter audio guide designed to teach car owners how to care for the four most essential fluids that keep a vehicle alive: coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
Chapter One lays the foundation, explaining what each fluid does, how it protects the engine, and how to recognize trouble by color, texture, and smell. Listeners learn the language of the vehicle — how heat, friction, and pressure all depend on these fluids to balance performance and prevent wear.
Chapter Two brings the listener into the garage. It gives precise, safe, and realistic instructions for checking each fluid, from the proper way to open a coolant cap to reading a dipstick on a steering reservoir. Each section reinforces safety, cleanliness, and accuracy, helping the listener work confidently without fear of mistakes.
Chapter Three focuses on long-term care — building a habit of monthly checks, tracking changes, spotting leaks, and understanding when to flush or replace fluids. It blends practical advice with a mindset of pride and responsibility, showing that real maintenance is about prevention, not repair.
The result is a complete, accessible guide told in a calm, cinematic voice — an ideal blend of knowledge, realism, and motivation for anyone who loves cars, craftsmanship, and self-reliance.
