Stop! Checking your brake fluid from time to time is a great way to ensure safe stopping
If your blinker doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
Cars burn, leak and otherwise dispense of their oil. Check your level frequently and top up when necessary
Avoid tickets and accidents with both working headlights! New bulbs are much brighter too

Checking the engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) level in your 2013 Buick LaCrosse is pretty easy. In order to get an accurate reading, your 3.6 liter engine should be cool to the touch when you check it. Engine coolant / antifreeze circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your LaCrosse is located and how to check the coolant / antifreeze level. If you need to add anti-freeze, be sure to check your owners manual to determine the correct type of coolant to add - in Buicks, it usually located in a section titled Fluid Capacities towards the end of your manual. See our video on how to add engine coolant for tips on adding coolant to your LaCrosse.
Always wear safety goggles when working on your LaCrosse. Taking off the coolant reservoir cap on a warm engine could cause the cap to up explosively and fluid to spray out of the reservoir. If you notice an oily surface in your coolant, immediately have your mechanic inspect your LaCrosse for head gasket leakage.
