fluid change
Replacing automotive liquids
A fluid change is the replacement of a liquid in a mechanical system—typically engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, or coolant in a vehicle.
Regular fluid changes are essential maintenance: The mechanic recommended a transmission fluid change every 60,000 miles.
The term emphasizes that the old fluid is drained and new fluid added, distinguishing it from merely topping off.
