However, EVs may use different lubricants that need to be checked at least once a year.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Oil is injected into a car\u2019s engine to lubricate and minimize friction as the valves, pistons, and other moving parts should easily glide past each another at high speeds. Adding oil to an engine allows it to run without seizing or overheating. However, none of these happens in electric cars. For instance, an electric motor and a battery propel electric vehicles such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Nissan Leaf, and others. The valves, pistons, engines, or moving parts don\u2019t require lubrication. Because of this, electric vehicles do not require regular oil changes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/way-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WAY-PLUS.png\" alt=\"Save more on electric car services\" width=\"794\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_electric_cars_use_oil\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How do electric cars use oil?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, now we know whether electric cars use oil or not. Though electric motors don\u2019t use oil, you can still use it for lubricating an EV motor. Lubricating an EV motor is not the same as correctly lubricating an international combustion engine.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You need to apply lubricating greases to the electric motor, auxiliary units, and the central locking mechanism.

Be aware that there is nothing like a car that doesn\u2019t require maintenance. Although you won\u2019t ever need an oil change for an electric car, you should regularly check the following fluids in your EV.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Coolant\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Heat is a huge issue for both electric and gasoline-powered cars. Coolant is essential to control the heat generated by your electric car\u2019s lithium-ion battery. You should always be cautious about the coolant level in your car\u2019s battery, power inverter, and cabin heater. Although the cabin heater isn\u2019t critical, the other two components are. Have you ever heard of an EV catching fire? If yes, an overheated battery would have been the probable reason. So, always keep the coolant levels high to avoid the battery exploding.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Brake Fluid<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Due to the regenerative braking mechanism on EVs, brake pads need to be replaced rarely. By converting the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle into electric energy for the battery, the system lowers brake wear. An electric car\u2019s regenerative braking system is an integral aspect of the vehicle\u2019s power-producing equipment. Typical service for an EV includes checking that the braking system is in good condition. It is critical because it is also the vehicle\u2019s principal means of slowing down in addition to creating power. Brakes need service regularly since they have considerable safety consequences.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Transmission Fluid<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An electric vehicle\u2019s multi-speed or direct-drive gearbox requires fluid changes during the duration of ownership.
