      Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "repairs to cars" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ziyatalie Fanayla Secret - (just google it )?
      It is a good one off product for discovering some tricks to repair your vehicle minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.

    Add brakes and roters, ball joints, bearings, struts and springs, change all four tires (meaning take the worn tires off the wheels and put new ones on setting the bead, then you got changing all the fluids ( coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil in the diffs and transfer case oil) then there’s changing spark plugs, headlights, tail lights, fog lights, and if you really want to have fun you can do the full engine rebuild ( top and bottom)

    I mean, when changing oil , you change the oil filter too. Ive been doing in car service for like a month, and then quit, volunteered so i can learn abut cars. And it is the basic. Also, if you see your air filter too dusty/havent changed it for a long time, now is that day. Do not use blowers to blow it off the dust and think that youve done the job. Its still filled with small particles that you cant see, which can lead to engine problems, so its better if you just buy a new one.
    EDIT: Also dont buy really cheap filters, or parts in general, as their quality is close to zero.

    @Mel-qr5ob 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd like to add that many car fluids are a certain type and CANT be mixed with a different type.
    So you have to be careful you're topping up with the correct one.
    But the exception is engine oil, you can technically mix types.
    Which I had to do when my dad topped up my engine with the wrong viscosity, I was worried Id have to do a whole oil change and take it to the mechanic to fix things etc but the mechanic said it was all good, just top up with the correct type next time.
    The right viscosity helps the car run at its best, but having the wrong type in temporarily isnt going to make it curdle or react or break anything internally as long as its only temporary. Phew!
    Man I love my mechanic. He couldve so easily lied to me then to get money off me to "fix" it. A good honest mechanic is worth his weight in gold I'll never go to another one as long as I live here.

    Changed the belt on my Grand Am what a pain first you gotta support the engine either by the oil pan or using a engine support bar from the top. Then undo the engine bracket mount from the passenger side. Take a socket wrench or serpentine belt tool and move the tensioner towards the firewall of the car. Take belt off and the do everything you did in reverse. The hardest part is getting the belt back on I recommend you go from the bottom up it’s more easy to get the belt started on the crank shaft pulley and work your way up finishing with the alternator. Also on the Grand Am it’s easy to also remove the cruise control model seeing that it’s kinda in the way and moving it gives you more arm room. It’s simple just unplug the wires and remove the black bracket holding it on and just set it to the side.

Running pure distilled water is not great idea as it freezes easily and can corrode stuff and running tap water is even worse idea cause you'll get sediment build up which will eventually jam the pump or the lines.

    In modern cars you can't check the timing belt or serpentine belt. You have to remove the engine cover. And what can you even do as an amature. Even garagists often think you have a timing belt problem cause it is good money for them but a disaster for you. See a brand professional because the noise could just be a roulement that is broken.

    I wish there was a video that teaches you how to quickly check under the head to check if nothing is inside like rodents, leaves, what not. Or if no cable has broken from vibrations or again, rodents. I feel like my engine is overheating. The cooling fan keeps turning on after parking and it's freezing outside.

    Don't put the wiper arm sans wiper onto the windscreen! Just keep it lifted up when you go and grab the new wiper unless you don't care about scratching or potentially cracking your windscreen.

    Not all people can 'concentrate" with music in the background; is the music entirely necessary? A good video is a video that explains your point or instruction and makes it easy for everyone to follow without distracting music for those with Misophonia and other concentrating issues. Please make it CLEAR and EASY for everyone!

      The windshield wiper is one of the easiest things to change. Tires aren't complicated(loosen the bolts, jack the car up, remove the bolts, remove the tire, put the spare on, bolt it on, jack the car back down), but it's a lot of effort to where it's easier to just pump air into the tires as a temporary fix unless you had a blowout(I had a used tire disintigrate on my Versa, which is a small car to be having a blowout and luckily it had an actual spare).

    These are only beginner guides the matter is much bigger and much ADVANCED you need to clean the nozzles you need to replace the plugs you need to clean the burning chamber and you need to replace the air filter of the engine and air filter of the AC AND FINALLY change the oil filter

      if in the UK take it to local recycling centre they all have the facilities to dispose or recycle waste oils it is free but not for commercial use only for private people doing there own or a friends car, just ask the staff for waste oil disposal they will be happy to direct you.
