Burnt out brake lights increase your chance of getting rear ended - check and change yours today
If your blinker doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
White light when you back up - yup, they burn out and you can replace them with bright LEDs
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2005 BMW 545i. Checking the power steering fluid level in your 545i is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your 545i. Your 545i should be parked on a level surface and your 4.4 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your 545i is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your 545i has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
