While its running and a little warm. Pull the dipstick wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. Put it back in the tube while the engine is running. Pull it back out. It should be full on the hash marks on the dipstick and red like cherry Kool-aid. If it's brown and smells burnt get it flushed. I highly recommend BG brand.

I have a 2013 Dodge Journey. I have been told that a brake service ($120) will reduce wear and tear. That doesn't make sense to me. I do live in an area with lots of snow and salt on the roads during winter. I know prevention is a good thing? But so far this seems not necessary. Could someone clarify this for me? 7 Answers
