You also want to check the power-steering fluid. It should be between the minimum and maximum level.
Number four on the list - the brake fluid. In most vehicles the brake fluid is in a clear reservoir marked with minimum and maximum lines. If it's low, fill it and then have the system checked. It could mean there are leaks or the brake pads are wearing.
Last, but definitely not least, the windshield-washer fluid. Keep it full. It's important to keep your windshield clean, especially when there's lots of glare.
You can find the location of the fluid containers in your owner's manual. And while you're at it, Consumer Reports says the transmission fluid is another important fluid to keep track of. It's a bit more involved than the other checks, so again, refer to your owner's manual for this one.
