A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All gases are fluids, but not all liquids are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.

In common usage, "fluid" is often used as a synonym for "liquid", with no implication that gas could also be present. For example, "brake fluid" is hydraulic oil and will not perform its required function if there is gas in it. This colloquial usage of the term is also common in medicine ("take plenty of fluids"), and in nutrition.

Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by the container) while gases do not. The distinction between solids and fluid is not entirely obvious. The distinction is made by evaluating the viscosity of the substance. Silly Putty can be considered to behave like a solid or a fluid, depending on the time period over which it is observed. It is best described as a viscoelastic fluid. There are many examples of substances proving difficult to classify. A particularly interesting one is pitch, as demonstrated in the pitch drop experiment currently running at the University of Queensland.

how do you change the transmission fluid in a 2000 chevy blazer?
Q. I have a 2000 chevy blazer 4x4, I want to change the transmission fluid. How do I drain the old transmission fluid?

A. There is only one way to change all of the transmission fluid in any vehicle, and that is a transmission flush. Most flush machines either use the transmissions own fluid pump to provide the pressure to flush the unit. The alternative is to remove the transmission pan, clean everything (go ahead and replace the transmission filter while you are in there) then reassemble and add fluid. The problem with a pan drop is that you only really replace about 3-4 quarts of the 8-10 quarts in your transmission. The other 5-6 quarts of fluid are in you torque converter, valve body and lines and cannot be drained out without extensive disassembly. That being said, replacing the 3-4 quarts is better then nothing. Keep in mind that a transmission… [cont.]

How do I change the power steering fluid in my car?
Q. I really don't know much about cars besides the fact that mechanics like to overcharge women for their lack of knowledge. Anyway...I need my power steering fluid changed. How can I do this myself? It's a 2000 Taurus. My basic knowledge is where the resivoir to check the fluid is located. Please HELP. I took my car in for an oil change and I asked them to check my PSF because my car was making a noise when I turn sometimes. He checked and said it looked like mud. He showed me the difference between new and mine. A few months ago my block cracked and sent fluids flying into other things, so it's not surprising to me. They want $80 to do the PS flush and I cannot afford it. I hate this car.

A. I change mine by useing a turkey baster to suck out the old fluid & putting it in a container with a lid. I then refill with new fluid. I hope this helps!
