On many cars, the high beam bulb runs at reduced power during the day - check 'em and change 'em!
Your coolant should perform well under any condition - just like Aaron Rodgers!

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2004 BMW 745Li. Checking the power steering fluid level in your 745Li is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your 745Li. Your 745Li should be parked on a level surface and your 4.4 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your 745Li is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your 745Li has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
