Regular maintenance keeps your vehicle running safely and efficiently. One of the most important parts of that maintenance is keeping your vehicle’s vital fluids clean and at the right level. At Van Wyk Auto in Sheboygan, we provide professional fluid exchange services to maintain peak performance, protect critical components, and prevent costly repairs down the road.
Whether it’s engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, or differential fluid, our team knows the right intervals and how to get the job done right.
Why Fluid Exchanges Matter
Your vehicle depends on various fluids to work properly. These fluids lubricate moving parts, transfer heat, clean internal components, and help systems function smoothly. Over time, fluids break down, get contaminated, or lose their protective properties. That’s where a fluid exchange comes in.
Regular fluid exchanges help:
-
Protect engine and system components
-
Improve fuel economy and performance
-
Prevent overheating and wear
-
Extend the life of parts and systems
-
Reduce the risk of expensive breakdowns
Fluid Exchange Services We Provide
At Van Wyk Auto, we offer a full suite of fluid exchange and maintenance services for all types of vehicles:
Engine Oil and Filter Change
Fresh oil lubricates the engine and prevents friction and heat damage. We use high-quality oil and filters matched to your vehicle’s needs.
Transmission Fluid Exchange
Old transmission fluid can cause rough shifting, slipping, or premature wear. We flush and replace fluid to help your transmission run smoother and longer.
Coolant/Antifreeze Exchange
Coolant regulates engine temperature and prevents corrosion in the cooling system. Our flush and refill service helps avoid overheating and protects your radiator and engine.
Differential and Transfer Case Fluid
These fluids keep gears and bearings lubricated in your drivetrain. We inspect and exchange fluid to protect differential performance.
Power Steering Fluid Exchange
Clean power steering fluid helps your steering system operate smoothly and quietly. We flush and replace fluid to maintain responsiveness and reduce wear.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Brake fluid can absorb moisture over time, which can affect performance. We replace fluid to help maintain consistent brake feel and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my fluids be exchanged?
Fluid exchange intervals vary by vehicle, mileage, and driving conditions. We recommend following manufacturer guidelines, and our technicians can help set a schedule that fits your vehicle and driving habits.
Why can’t fluids just be topped off?
Topping off does not remove contaminants or degraded fluid. A full exchange removes old fluid and replaces it with clean fluid, which offers better protection.
Can dirty fluids cause engine or transmission problems?
Yes. Old or contaminated fluid can cause increased wear, overheating, slipping, or reduced performance.
Is a fluid exchange the same as a flush?
Yes. A proper fluid exchange involves flushing out old fluid and replacing it with fresh fluid to ensure systems are clean and protected.
