Oil, Lube, and Filter
To maintain smooth operation, your vehicle heavily relies on oil, lube, and oil filters. Oil serves to lubricate, cool, and cleanse the internal engine components. Over time, motor oil becomes contaminated. Your vehicle requires an oil, lube, and filter change on a regular basis, which will vary based on a number of factors. When the time comes for a lube, oil, or filter change, entrust your vehicle to Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. in Pompano Beach, FL.

FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles

Why is my vehicle making a squealing noise?

It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for a few warning signs such as a squeaking or chirping noise. Those noises are usually caused by misalignment of the belt and the pulley. If you come by Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. in Pompano Beach our professional auto repair technicians can realign it to stop the noise and fix it before your fan belt completely breaks.

Why do my brakes squeak?

The most common reason brakes squeak is that they are worn out. The squeak is the sound of the metal wear indicator on the brake pad coming in contact with the metal rotor. Your brakes are the top safety feature on your vehicle, so come by Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. and get them replaced right away. If you hear a squeaking only when you press the brake pedal the first 2-3 times when you first start driving in the morning it is the result of overnight moisture build up and likely nothing to worry about.

Why does my vehicle make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?

If your vehicle makes strange sounds or clicks when you turn the steering wheel the most common cause is a low steering fluid. Over time the steering fluid decreases and air enters the steering mechanism causing unwanted noises. Come to Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. to top off your fluid reservoir with power steering fluid. The noises should start to go away immediately. If the sound returns quickly your vehicle could be leaking steering fluid. Our professionals in Pompano Beach can help you diagnose and repair leaks quickly and affordably.

Why does my vehicle squeal when I start it in the morning?

A worn out cambelt (also known as a timing belt) will create a loud noise when you start your vehicle's engine. The noise could range from squealing to hissing or rumbling. This is the sound of a cambelt that is about to break. If a cambelt breaks it can ruin your vehicle's engine. Come to Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. and get it replaced right away.

Leaking Fluid FAQs

Why are my wheels making a chirping sound when I accelerate?

The most common reason why your vehicle's wheels make a chirping or squealing sound, especially during acceleration is a bad wheel bearing. If you notice a grinding or grating noise coming from your wheel this can also be the sound of a wheel bearing beginning to fail. If you are in Pompano Beach, Kendall Green, Coconut Creek, North Fort Lauderdale or the surrounding area, come by Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. and we can diagnose the problem quickly.

Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?

The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is a simple repair at Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc.. There are other possible causes of water dripping on your foot on the driver's side of the vehicle including a broken door seal or leaking heat exchanger.

What should I do if my vehicle creates a small oil leak on my driveway?

If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch or baking soda. This will help absorb the oil before it soaks into the cement. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material. Then, wash away the remaining stain with water and soap. A small oil leak on your driveway is an indication that something is wrong with your vehicle. Bring your vehicle to Brandon's Auto & Truck Sales & Service, Inc. to get the problem diagnosed. Do not ignore an oil leak as it can seriously affect your vehicle's engine.

Why is my vehicle leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?

If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, the most likely culprit is leaking coolant or antifreeze. A coolant leak can become a serious problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, it will overheat and may cause engine damage.

What are the 4 types of engine motor oil?

There are four basic classes of engine oil used in vehicle maintenance today. Your owner's manual will explain which type of motor oil your vehicle needs. It is important to always use the correct type of motor oil. The four types of motor oil are:

• Conventional petroleum-based motor oil - This is the most common type of motor oil used in vehicles.
• Synthetic motor oil - a lubricant made up of artificial chemical compounds derived by breaking down and rebuilding petroleum molecules.
• Synthetic blend motor oil - a combination of common petroleum motor oil and synthetic motor oil.
• High mileage oil - This type of motor oil is most commonly used in commercial vehicles and contains additives and seal enhancers that reduce leaks.

What are the three types of oil filters?

• Cellulose media filter - This is the most common type of disposable oil filter found in vehicles today.
• Synthetic media filter - Made from high quality synthetic fibers, also catch and remove the smallest particulates and withstand complex chemical reactions better.
• Micro glass media filters - High-end oil filters that include an extremely fine metal media or micro glass material.
