When it comes to vehicle fluids, oil and coolant definitely play an important role in keeping a vehicle engine running smoothly. But often other vital fluids are neglected in the maintenance process until a problem develops. Two of those fluids that take a backseat to oil and coolant are the power steering and brake fluids.
