Most consumer manuals advise you to check your fluids once a month, my dad insists on a weekly check.

Who bother to check fluid by hand during heavy rain or snow or cold weather from here?

You don't have to check it every day; wait for a day that's not raining or snowing if it bothers you.

Not everyone know how to check fluids by their hands for their vehicles like lawyer, doctor, master degree, etc. Some of them are chairwheeling and they CAN'T check fluids. That's what dashboard for.

If people absolutely can't check it themselves, then they can ask someone else. I don't understand why lawyers, doctors, and people with masters degrees can't figure out how to check car fluids. They weren't born that way, were they?

No matter how ofter you check fluids if they were good or not. What's IF their were leak, then fluid(s) will gone before you check it.

If you have a problem that serious, they'll probably be gone before your gauge warns you, too.

That's will be annoying to check fuel by dip stick if there is no fuel gauge on the dashboard.

Who checks their fuel with a dip stick? What kind of car doesn't have a fuel gauge?

Hubby checks his Jeep monthly and mine weekly. He checks his work van daily.

 

[Reba]

Not everyone own their garage or no time to check during heavy travel. Wait until the weather change is bad idea.

You don't need a garage to check fluids. Hubby used to check his in the driveway in Michigan and Wisconsin during the winter, in the snow.

Well, Some of them were very busy and time fly and they forget to change a oil or something. So that what remind oil lamp or digital LCD alert for.

Hey, we're all busy--that's no excuse. Forget? They can put reminders in their smart phones or ask their secretaries to put it on their schedules.

On many cars, once the light comes on, it's almost too late.

Besides, even if the light comes on, who puts the fluids in the car? Is the lawyer too busy for that, too?

What kind of Jeep your husband own it? 2006 Jeep should have system monitor under digital LCD, not gauges.

He has a fully loaded Commander Limited. It has the tire pressure display but none for fluids. It has the check engine light and the oil warning light.

That's point, how you know if there is leak? That's what alert system for.

With my Jeep, I saw spots on the driveway where I park.

Oh poor to him.

That's works too but depend how ofter you drive like change oil each 4k-5k if highway a lot OR change oil each 3k if city a lot. It's all depends. So, reminder from dashboard is better than smartphone and secretaries.

I forget to add something. All fluids looks good and dashboard still alert you when sump pump, water pump, thermostat, etc were failed. So you still call it "idiot light gauges light up" Which it was not true.

Ah.

Sometime leak got stuck inside that you can't see like coolant's housing got crack and leak under the head intake. Happen to my customer' vehicle. Thanks to coolant pressure tester.

It didn't bother him; it was no big deal.

A sump pump?! What's going on with your car?

Sorry. The only sump pumps I've ever heard of are in basements to remove water on the floor.
