fluid check

Liquid level assessment

A fluid check is a routine inspection of a vehicle's essential liquids—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid.

Mechanics perform fluid checks during oil changes or tune-ups, and drivers do them between services: I did a quick fluid check before the road trip.
