Engine oil is necessary for the overall lubrication of your engine. Transmission fluid keeps your transmission running efficiently. Brake fluid assists the braking system by moving force into friction. Antifreeze and coolant keep your engine from overheating and keep the cooling system from freezing in lower temperatures. Finally, power steering fluid helps in the power steering function of your vehicle.
