No, your car doesn’t run on vibes and fast food wrappers. It runs on fluids. And checking them is easier than you think.

Body:

  1. Engine Oil – The MVP of your car’s internal health. Check it monthly. Brown and gritty? Change it.

  2. Coolant – Keeps your engine from turning into a hot mess.

  3. Brake Fluid – Press the pedal, stop the car. Magic? No—fluid.

  4. Transmission Fluid – Your gear shift’s best friend.

  5. Windshield Washer Fluid – Because bugs love windshields. Especially in June.

🧠 NLP Tip: Don’t say “I’m not a car person.” Say, “I’m learning to take control of my ride.” It’s all mindset, baby.
