2. Which fluid is essential for lubricating engine components and should be checked and replaced
according to the manufacturer's recommendations?
A) Brake fluid
B) Power steering fluid
C) Engine coolant
D) Engine oil
Engine oil (D): Engine oil lubricates moving parts within the engine, reduces friction, and helps
dissipate heat. It's vital to check oil levels regularly and replace the oil according to the
manufacturer's recommendations to maintain engine health.

3. What component should be inspected for wear and tear regularly to maintain optimal braking
performance?
A) Brake pads
B) Radiator hose
C) Air filter
D) Serpentine belt
Brake pads (A): Brake pads are essential for safe braking. Regular inspection helps detect wear and
tear, ensuring that the brake system functions optimally and providing reliable stopping power.
4. Which maintenance task involves removing dirt and debris to maintain optimal engine
performance and fuel efficiency?
A) Wheel alignment
B) Battery cleaning
C) Spark plug replacement
D) Air filter replacement
Air filter replacement (D): The air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine, ensuring
clean air for combustion. Regular replacement maintains engine performance and fuel efficiency by
preventing clogs and ensuring proper airflow.

5. What is the purpose of rotating tires regularly?

A) To balance the vehicle
B) To increase fuel efficiency
C) To extend tire lifespan
D) To improve steering response
Tire rotation (C): Tire rotation involves moving tires to different positions on the vehicle to ensure
even tire wear. This helps extend the lifespan of the tires, improves vehicle stability, and enhances
overall performance.
6. Which fluid is responsible for cooling the engine and preventing it from overheating?
A) Brake fluid
B) Power steering fluid
C) Engine coolant
D) Transmission fluid
Engine coolant (C): Engine coolant, also known as antifreeze, regulates engine temperature by
dissipating heat. Regular maintenance of the cooling system, including checking coolant levels and
condition, helps prevent overheating and engine damage.

7. What should be checked regularly to ensure proper functionality and visibility during inclement
weather?
A) Brake lights
B) Air conditioning system
C) Windshield wipers
D) Fuel gauge
Windshield wipers (C): Windshield wipers are essential for visibility during rain, snow, or other
adverse weather conditions. Regular inspection and replacement of worn wiper blades ensure clear
visibility, enhancing driver safety.

8. What should be done periodically to maintain the electrical system's performance and prevent
battery failure?
A) Rotate tires
B) Change engine oil
C) Clean battery terminals
D) Replace spark plugs
Clean battery terminals (C): Over time, battery terminals can accumulate corrosion, which can hinder
electrical conductivity and lead to battery failure. Cleaning battery terminals periodically helps
maintain a reliable electrical system and prevents starting issues.

9. Which maintenance task involves inspecting and adjusting the tension of the belt that drives
essential engine components?
A) Tire rotation
B) Wheel alignment
C) Serpentine belt inspection
D) Brake pad replacement
Serpentine belt inspection (C): The serpentine belt drives various engine components, such as the
alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Regular inspection and adjustment
of the belt tension ensure proper operation and prevent belt failure.
10. What should be checked and replaced regularly to ensure proper engine combustion and fuel
efficiency?
A) Cabin air filter
B) Fuel filter
C) Engine air filter
D) Transmission filter
Engine air filter (C): The engine air filter prevents contaminants from entering the engine, such as
dirt, dust, and debris. Regular replacement of the air filter maintains optimal air intake, ensures
proper combustion, and improves fuel efficiency.
