@@DadhowdoI dude, you rock! this is beyond helpful, keep doing videos when you can - please do videos on how to safely use power tools (drill, saw, nail gun (especially) tnx! :)
I needed this. I needed this whole channel. My dad died 7 months ago, too soon, and I was only 25. I still have so many “dad, how do I?” questions, I always thought he’d be around for all those phone calls (yesterday panicked at this light going off in my car) I never knew I needed this, but I’m so happy you’ve done it. Thank you!
My dad passed away two and a half years ago (I’m 31 now), and every day I think of things I want to ask him, so I totally feel this comment. This channel is not only super helpful, but it warms my heart!
I feel you, I didn't really know the guy since I was only around 2 at the time (turning 15 in 2 months) and not having someone to ask how to do most things kids would learn from their dad's has been tough, but I think I've been doing okay do far.
I feel this comment. Lost my dad 2 years ago. I was only 17 at the time. Some days you will still have questions that only he could answer but it does get better with time!
I understand what you must be going through. My father died of melanoma when i was 17 (now i am 32), and my mother has schizophrenia. So i missed out on a lot of advice and life lessons that i had to learn the hard way. Never be too afraid to ask questions to people. I often struggled with feeling like a failure for not knowing basic things that other people just seemed to know, until i realized the amount you miss out on if you are not able to have casual talks with your parents, or just sit at the dinner table with your family talking about your day or plans. So to anyone who is in a similar position, don't be too hard on yourself for not knowing things. People who do know these basic things that you might have missed out on, most likely learned them from their parents.
Im girl live in saudi arabia, we just start driving here about 1 year ago , and I found this video so useful Thanks Alot ! this sign always appear in my car
Pretty emotional right now. I just called a tire shop and the guy asked what kind of tire I had. I said “I’m not too sure” and he cuts me off and says “well I don’t know either and I can’t help you” and hung up. I feel really dumb. I’ve never had a chance to have my dad show me anything car wise and my mom doesn’t drive. I have low tire pressure so I have to go to the rude guys because they’re the closest to me but I feel so stupid like how could I not know what type of tire I have. I called back and nicely explained the type of car I have and just wanted a quote and he told me that’s “super silly.” I’m muscling up all my defeated, stupid feeling energy to go over there. It just brings back so much PTSD of feeling stupid and not knowing basic stuff and getting yelled at. Anyways, thank you for your channel and for showing all of us stuff we never got the chance to learn from dads.
Thank you so much for making this video. I called the car dealership to ask, if they can check my tire pressure and the man was very rude…Unfortunately I didn’t have a father to teach me. Thank you again.
Thank you dad!! I love these videos as someone who grew up without a father and was never taught any of these things it warms my heart that you are sharing with the world!! Keep up the good work!
My dad taught me how to change a tire, but didn’t teach me most of this stuff. In the 90s, most of these things were taught to boys not girls. So I’m enjoying tour videos. I can change a tire and check my oil, but anything else with a car I’d love to learn! I think this is amazing what you’re doing!
There's a car guy youtuber under the name ChrisFix and he does as the name suggests fixes on cars and some other stuff so id recommend that, hope that helps

Hi I'm just stopping by to thank you for doing this. My dad taught me how to check my tire pressure, but he didn't have a dad to teach him that. The world needs more of your wholesome vibes!! THanks Dad!
My 40 year old husband called me a few months ago that the check engine light was on in our van. So, I called and made an appointment. Then got in the car. He needed your video.
Thank you for your content! Just a quick tip I've seen my buddy who works putting tires for a living do; before he put the little cap back on the tire after he's finished filling it with air, he puts some drops of water where you connect the air compressor to check for any air escaping. (I hope what I wrote made sense! :) )
Omg , so glad I found this video. My fiancé died this past summer and I’m realizing there are all these things I don’t even know how to do myself. This light came on my car the last time I drove it and I had know idea what it meant. I’m relieved it’s something this simple and even more relieved it’s something I can do!! I wish you were my dad 😭. The dr.suess book reading made my cry btw. Keep being an angel for all us broken adults 🥰
Thank you for telling people about the door placard for the air pressure. I work at a tire shop and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who inflate their tires to the maximum PSI of the tire that is written on the sidewall of the tire. Do NOT do that people. It's really bad for tread wear and as your tire ages and wears, it's not as strong and can blow out.
I personally walk around and take all 4 valve caps off of all the tires and walk around with my gauge and read the pressures. If it's fine I put the cap back. Then I know which ones to fill after I get the station to turn it on. As long as you get gas, they must give you free air (at least in California as far as I know). 👍 Great idea explaining tire sizes
What a wonderful find! I'm so grateful I found your channel. I have a wonderful dad who would drop everything to help me, but he has a lot on his plate so I feel guilty. I'm glad that I found a place to get quick and reliable answers so I don't have to bug him as often. Thank you!
If you are rather nervous to fill your own tires, a lot of auto shops will fill your tires for free. I know Walmart and Firestone will. But these are very useful tools for anyone to know. My hats off to you sir for doing these videos!
Quick note: if you have the tire light on and it doesn’t go away after filling your tires up, there could be three reasons. First you car may require you to reset your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which is just the system that keeps track of the air in your tires; you can find that out by looking in your owners manual or looking up if your car requires it to be reset. The second reason could be because one or multiple of your sensors stopped working, which would most likely require a tire shop to fix (which isn’t too expensive $50-$100). Lastly if the light came on after getting new tires, it is possible that the new tires that were installed didn’t have TPMS Sensors on them, which will cause the light to come on.
My goodness. I visited your page 12 hours ago after seeing Tank’s post on instagram and you were at 300K. You’re almost at a million now! Well deserved. From the moment I started watching you I noticed your light from within. Your channel is that town built on a hill! God bless. Matt. 5:14
Thank you so much for being a "Dad" guidance for so many of us. My dad died 10 years ago when I was just 17 and I still hadn't learned all of these "Dad" things in life. I truly don't know how I made it through college without "Dad" guidance. I appreciate you and respect what you are doing for all of us with or without Dads. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What an empathetic "Dad" you must be.
I just ordered a pressure gauge of Amazon to monitor my tire pressure regularly. Wish me luck...hope I don't have to put air soon, but your video definitely helped in giving me confidence to do it on my own. Thanks Dad!
My dad wasn't really in my life physically he just gave me money any time I needed or wanted something. I got my first car 6 or 7 years ago and my husband taught me everything I know about cars. What you're doing for people who don't have someone like me is amazing 💕
Not gonna lie to you I got happy tears watching this video I’m 24 and didn’t know how to do this and always been too embarrassed to ask anyone (come on grown man) I never had a dad figure to teach me and i know this isn’t an excuse or anything but thank you man
I knew how to do everything in your videos but watched them like you were my dad telling me what to do. My dad ran out when I was born and I would have loved to have had someone like you in my life to guide me. I think I ended up OK, but I promised myself that my son would always know that I was there for him in anything and have done my best to teach him what I know. Your children are very lucky to have you in their life.
Heaven Huskey same! so grateful for this channel. my dad was my go to for things like this and I've been lost without him. I live in a two family with my mother and am the one who does all of the repairs, it's been so rough without him around. sorry for your loss 💖
kayle delmastro I’m sorry for your loss girl! It’s definitely hard! I k ow my mom is lost without my dad and she had 3 girls so we’ve been helping out as much as we can!!
Heaven Huskey My parents split when I was young so I've always been the "man" of the house, with guidance from my dad of course lol. They hated each other but he would always help her with repairs by telling me what to do 🤣 it was an interesting dynamic lol. hopefully this channel is able to help you guys, it's so hard to take on the responsibility of doing things like this.
My tires are visibly low today, and I don’t have a father figure I’m comfortable asking. So seeing these always make me feel so safe. Now I know how to air up my tires, although I’m terrified of blowing one out on my way home today. Thank you for these videos, truly.
Literally stranded at a closed gas station here at 2 in the morning and this video saved my life. Omg. Thank you. Could not figure out the numbers and was afraid of blowing myself up lol
Hi Dad! thank you for this. May I make a suggestion? Having a manual gauge maybe better in that you will always be able to use it since it has no battery that might die on you. You don't use one terribly often, and won't have to find a battery in the middle of the night! I have had the same manual gauge through 6 cars, and several car break-ins where everything was cleared out but that, no one wants the ole trusty! Also, what the car manufacturers want for PSI and what the tire manufacturers want for PSI sometimes don't match. Being between the two numbers is good, but never above the PSI on the tires. You can show the tire info is near the tire size markings on the tires themselves. This was an awesome video, you are a great Dad and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers!
Might also note that if you are checking your pressure it best to check when the tire is cold. Driving will heat the air in the tire causing the pressure to read higher. Great information checking the driver door for the tire pressure.
I watched this video yesterday and today I was successfully able to change my tire pressure!! Thanks for the help man!!! You are loved and appreciated!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS DUDE. YOUR THE DAD WE’VE ALWAYS WANTED not all hero’s wear capes you change people’s life’s thank you for these amazing videos.
Thank you for this! My dads not a nice man and now lives in Mexico City - I’ve had that light on my car for over a month and could never figure it out until I ran across your RUclips channel (I didn’t even know that light was for my tire)!! Thank you for your kindness and taking the time to help people without a father figure. I definitely look up to you and hope that you have a happy life :) thank you!
Thank you very much I don’t know nothing about cars and I’m a single mother of a son and I never had my dad around so I need to learn this to teach my son! We are going to do this first thing in the morning together 😊
I like this guy im glad he's teaching how to do stuff like this. I wasn't always able to be around my father growing up(long story). My grandparents raised me,and my grandfather tried to teach me as much as he could when he found out he was dying of cancer so that I would be able to help my grandma out after he was gone. But, he wasn't able to teach me everything a man should know especially the car stuff, and none of the other guys in the family ever taught me either. My great uncle did teach me some things too before he died he taught me how to paint a house or any building properly, how to use certain tools, how to weedeat, and few other things.
Please continue to post these videos when ever time permits you to and you have an idea to. I needed this in my early 20s and it was hard getting by. You’re going to help so many posting these. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I saw a video ABOUT this guy on VidIQ. I watched a few - he's great! I also noticed - almost immediately - there are no ads. Not that I could find, anyway. Which means he's not monetizing it, he's just doing it. THAT is incredible.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are so good at explaining things in detail so we can understand the why behind how we do things. I am so thankful for you taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you! For this video and this channel. My biological dad walked out on my mom and me when I was 6mo, and later when I was 12yo, my step dad both walked out on my mom, me, and 3 younger siblings too. We have grown up w/o a dad. I'm 20 now, and very lost on a lot of things, but you're helping me out! Thanks!!
One thing you need to be aware of is that newer cars, like my 2016 Honda, only show "Tire Pressure Low" without telling you which tire is low. What is being measured is not the air pressure in each tire directly; instead, the sensor merely keeps a count of the tire rotations and reports when one tire is rotating more times than the others (because it is slightly smaller due to the low pressure). On my Honda, once you refill the tire to the proper pressure, you have to run the TPMS Calibration. (The car must be in Park to do this procedure.) Touch "Settings>Vehicle>TPMS Calibration" and then "Calibrate" on the touchscreen menu and click "OK". IMPORTANT: You must drive the car for about 20 minutes without turning off to calibrate. If you drive less time, you will just get the error message again. Note that the new air compressors at gas stations have an automatic feature for the pressure that you select. If you select "32 psi", then the compressor will beep loudly when you have reached 32 psi. Do this for all four tires to make sure they all start at the same pressure. By the way, always check and fill tires in the first few miles of driving, before they get too hot. In cold weather, all of your tires will lose pressure.
Omg it’s COLD in Kansas now and the cold is definitely affecting my tires.. I needed this video to figure out which tire is low with pressure. Thank you so much!!
Thank you Rob! Your story also became viral in the biggest Chinese social media Weibo, where I heard about you from. Millions of people are touched by your story. I live in the U.S. now and have access to RUclips. I want to leave a comment and thank you for doing this. My father left me, my twin sister and my mom when I was 4 because he wanted boys, not girls. I enjoy your videos! I’m learning how to do ties so I can help my husband😹.
All four of my tires have been warning me that they’re low on air for..way too long. I have a dad, but he’s out of town, so here I am. 😂 I love these videos❤️
im an 18 year old girl and i recently bought my first car, my tire pressure light came on and i asked my dad to teach me how to put air into my tires and he told me im an idiot because i dont know how to, so thank you for this video. its a real help for people like me whose fathers are complete deadbeats
Bar and kPa are used in the metric system (Europe mainly) : 1 bar = 100.000 kP (kilo Pascal) . For example my recommended tyre pressure is 2,4 bar which is roughly 34 psi ( pound force per square inch ) . I find all the vids and the idea very wholesome and nostalgic . Thank you for taking time to do this
I saw this in 9gag and thought I'd watch some of your Vids and it just makes me happy watching you teach stuff. I grew up without a dad because I was adopted and my Step Mom is always at work so I had to learn most of the things I know by myself. Thank you for this Channel and please don't stop making videos Can I request about fixing Mechanical stuff?
Europe uses Atmospheres as the standard air pressure measuring unit. I usually try to keep my tires between 2.1-2.4 atmospheres, which is about the same PSI values that Dad shows in this video. Nice work, Dad!
Such a cool video! I drive a Hyundai i30 from 2013 (Europe). I control my air pressure every few weeks and you inspired me to optimize my tools. Thank you very much! :)
Hi RUclips dad!!!! First off, I want to thank you so much for starting this channel. Growing up without a father has left me with not knowing many skills a father teaches his children. Writing this brings me to tears as I have embraced your videos and think of you as an actual father figure who has taught me how to take care of things around my apartment. I do have one request! I am shopping for new tires, and I'm completely lost. Besides looking for a reasonable price and knowing the tire size I need, I am unsure how to determine which ones I should buy. The help you can give will be much appreciated.
Thank you so much. This just helped me learn how to put air in my tires while I was at the gas station. I am 32 years old and I’ve never done it by myself.
Thank you so much! Your video was so helpful to me. I am clueless when it comes to anything dealing with a car and your video provided the answers I needed. Keep up the good work.
I already knew all this, but I enjoyed watching him explain 😊 my dad passed away when I was 11 years old so I've gotten most of this kind of knowledge from books at the library and more recently google 😅
I first watched this video a couple weeks ago. Last night my tire pressure got low and I remembered what you taught in this video! I was able to get to a gas station and use my gauge and get the correct tire pressure!

I work at a tire shop and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who inflate their tires to the maximum PSI of the tire that is written on the sidewall of the tire. Do NOT do that people. It's really bad for tread wear and as your tire ages and wears, it's not as strong and can blow out.
I personally walk around and take all 4 valve caps off of all the tires and walk around with my gauge and read the pressures. If it's fine I put the cap back. Then I know which ones to fill after I get the station to turn it on. As long as you get gas, they must give you free air (at least in California as far as I know).
👍 Great idea explaining tire sizes
Thanks... I think I filled them up unevenly and will do this to avoid having to unscrew them again.
What a wonderful find! I'm so grateful I found your channel. I have a wonderful dad who would drop everything to help me, but he has a lot on his plate so I feel guilty. I'm glad that I found a place to get quick and reliable answers so I don't have to bug him as often. Thank you!
Wendy Burgett that’s what dads are for they don’t care when it comes to there kids!
Dont be so hard in yourself. From what you are saying your dad will LOVE to Help you, so you are doing a good thing, when you ask him.
If you are rather nervous to fill your own tires, a lot of auto shops will fill your tires for free. I know Walmart and Firestone will. But these are very useful tools for anyone to know. My hats off to you sir for doing these videos!
Quick note: if you have the tire light on and it doesn’t go away after filling your tires up, there could be three reasons. First you car may require you to reset your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which is just the system that keeps track of the air in your tires; you can find that out by looking in your owners manual or looking up if your car requires it to be reset. The second reason could be because one or multiple of your sensors stopped working, which would most likely require a tire shop to fix (which isn’t too expensive $50-$100). Lastly if the light came on after getting new tires, it is possible that the new tires that were installed didn’t have TPMS Sensors on them, which will cause the light to come on.
Hello mate are you able yo help
So glad i came across your channel. Thank You so much !
My goodness. I visited your page 12 hours ago after seeing Tank’s post on instagram and you were at 300K. You’re almost at a million now! Well deserved. From the moment I started watching you I noticed your light from within. Your channel is that town built on a hill! God bless. Matt. 5:14
YOU ARE FILLING MY BRAIN WITH KNOWLEDGE BEST RUclips DAD EVER
Thank you so much for being a "Dad" guidance for so many of us. My dad died 10 years ago when I was just 17 and I still hadn't learned all of these "Dad" things in life. I truly don't know how I made it through college without "Dad" guidance. I appreciate you and respect what you are doing for all of us with or without Dads. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What an empathetic "Dad" you must be.
I just ordered a pressure gauge of Amazon to monitor my tire pressure regularly. Wish me luck...hope I don't have to put air soon, but your video definitely helped in giving me confidence to do it on my own. Thanks Dad!
What a wonderful video. So instructive, and so kind and gentle. Thank you!
My dad wasn't really in my life physically he just gave me money any time I needed or wanted something. I got my first car 6 or 7 years ago and my husband taught me everything I know about cars. What you're doing for people who don't have someone like me is amazing 💕
Thank you for this. Just lost my husband who normally takes care of the tires for me. Lots to learn now. This was so helpful
My condolences. Hope you’re doing okay!
May he Rest In Peace.

Thank you
I literally have never known how to do this and I'm 32 years old, so thank you SO much. You're awesome Internet Dad!
Not gonna lie to you I got happy tears watching this video I’m 24 and didn’t know how to do this and always been too embarrassed to ask anyone (come on grown man) I never had a dad figure to teach me and i know this isn’t an excuse or anything but thank you man
I knew how to do everything in your videos but watched them like you were my dad telling me what to do. My dad ran out when I was born and I would have loved to have had someone like you in my life to guide me. I think I ended up OK, but I promised myself that my son would always know that I was there for him in anything and have done my best to teach him what I know. Your children are very lucky to have you in their life.
Thank you for this channel!! My dad died 3 years ago and it’s been so hard when I need to ask him something and he’s not there! Thank you!!!!
Heaven Huskey same! so grateful for this channel. my dad was my go to for things like this and I've been lost without him. I live in a two family with my mother and am the one who does all of the repairs, it's been so rough without him around. sorry for your loss 💖
kayle delmastro I’m sorry for your loss girl! It’s definitely hard! I k ow my mom is lost without my dad and she had 3 girls so we’ve been helping out as much as we can!!
Heaven Huskey My parents split when I was young so I've always been the "man" of the house, with guidance from my dad of course lol. They hated each other but he would always help her with repairs by telling me what to do 🤣 it was an interesting dynamic lol. hopefully this channel is able to help you guys, it's so hard to take on the responsibility of doing things like this.
I am a woman but taught many kids and adults this important chore..so many never taught..you are doing great work
My tires are visibly low today, and I don’t have a father figure I’m comfortable asking. So seeing these always make me feel so safe. Now I know how to air up my tires, although I’m terrified of blowing one out on my way home today. Thank you for these videos, truly.
Literally stranded at a closed gas station here at 2 in the morning and this video saved my life. Omg. Thank you. Could not figure out the numbers and was afraid of blowing myself up lol
You are the absolute best. Thank you for being so considerate. This is just amazing. You deserve the world.
Thank you for what you do! You're an inspiration to me, a recovering deadbeat dad, and I love u for it. Thank youuuu! 🤗❤️🙏
Hi Dad! thank you for this. May I make a suggestion? Having a manual gauge maybe better in that you will always be able to use it since it has no battery that might die on you. You don't use one terribly often, and won't have to find a battery in the middle of the night! I have had the same manual gauge through 6 cars, and several car break-ins where everything was cleared out but that, no one wants the ole trusty!
Also, what the car manufacturers want for PSI and what the tire manufacturers want for PSI sometimes don't match. Being between the two numbers is good, but never above the PSI on the tires. You can show the tire info is near the tire size markings on the tires themselves. This was an awesome video, you are a great Dad and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers!
Might also note that if you are checking your pressure it best to check when the tire is cold. Driving will heat the air in the tire causing the pressure to read higher. Great information checking the driver door for the tire pressure.
I watched this video yesterday and today I was successfully able to change my tire pressure!! Thanks for the help man!!! You are loved and appreciated!!
Thanks dad! This eased a lot of anxiety, short and straight to point!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS DUDE. YOUR THE DAD WE’VE ALWAYS WANTED not all hero’s wear capes you change people’s life’s thank you for these amazing videos.
Thank you for this! My dads not a nice man and now lives in Mexico City - I’ve had that light on my car for over a month and could never figure it out until I ran across your RUclips channel (I didn’t even know that light was for my tire)!! Thank you for your kindness and taking the time to help people without a father figure. I definitely look up to you and hope that you have a happy life :) thank you!
Thank you very much I don’t know nothing about cars and I’m a single mother of a son and I never had my dad around so I need to learn this to teach my son! We are going to do this first thing in the morning together 😊
I just read about your channel and it put tears in my eyes. Thank you
I like this guy im glad he's teaching how to do stuff like this. I wasn't always able to be around my father growing up(long story). My grandparents raised me,and my grandfather tried to teach me as much as he could when he found out he was dying of cancer so that I would be able to help my grandma out after he was gone. But, he wasn't able to teach me everything a man should know especially the car stuff, and none of the other guys in the family ever taught me either. My great uncle did teach me some things too before he died he taught me how to paint a house or any building properly, how to use certain tools, how to weedeat, and few other things.
Please continue to post these videos when ever time permits you to and you have an idea to.
I needed this in my early 20s and it was hard getting by. You’re going to help so many posting these.
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I’m a 37 yr old mom and wife, thanks for finally teaching me how to do this on my own. Wow! 🤦🏻♀️😂❤️
IM HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE POSTED YOUR CHANEL ON FACEBOOK AND IM SO GLAD THEY DID! YOURE AND AMAZING HUMAN. THANK YOU! 💕
I saw a video ABOUT this guy on VidIQ. I watched a few - he's great! I also noticed - almost immediately - there are no ads. Not that I could find, anyway. Which means he's not monetizing it, he's just doing it.
THAT is incredible.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are so good at explaining things in detail so we can understand the why behind how we do things. I am so thankful for you taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you so much for this! My dad is home, but he knows nothing about cars! I had that light on for over a month now, didn't know what to do.
Thank you for this. I am 57 years old and still struggle with this!
I'm a dad and I know how to do all this stuff. Still watched all his videos. This guy is doing great stuff!
I’m so glad you make these vids. Lost my dad at a young age and I haven’t had anyone to teach me
I love your channel 🥰. I lost my Dad back in May. And can’t ask him any of these things anymore. 🥲. Thank you 😊
Thank you! For this video and this channel. My biological dad walked out on my mom and me when I was 6mo, and later when I was 12yo, my step dad both walked out on my mom, me, and 3 younger siblings too. We have grown up w/o a dad. I'm 20 now, and very lost on a lot of things, but you're helping me out! Thanks!!
62 yr old widow who used to rely on her husband for advice about cars here. (My dad didn't drive.)
Thank you sir.
The printed out photo of the warning light is my favorite part of this ❤️
One thing you need to be aware of is that newer cars, like my 2016 Honda, only show "Tire Pressure Low" without telling you which tire is low. What is being measured is not the air pressure in each tire directly; instead, the sensor merely keeps a count of the tire rotations and reports when one tire is rotating more times than the others (because it is slightly smaller due to the low pressure). On my Honda, once you refill the tire to the proper pressure, you have to run the TPMS Calibration. (The car must be in Park to do this procedure.) Touch "Settings>Vehicle>TPMS Calibration" and then "Calibrate" on the touchscreen menu and click "OK". IMPORTANT: You must drive the car for about 20 minutes without turning off to calibrate. If you drive less time, you will just get the error message again. Note that the new air compressors at gas stations have an automatic feature for the pressure that you select. If you select "32 psi", then the compressor will beep loudly when you have reached 32 psi. Do this for all four tires to make sure they all start at the same pressure. By the way, always check and fill tires in the first few miles of driving, before they get too hot. In cold weather, all of your tires will lose pressure.
Glad i found this channel...asking for help with people who dont feel like helping sucks
Omg it’s COLD in Kansas now and the cold is definitely affecting my tires.. I needed this video to figure out which tire is low with pressure. Thank you so much!!
I have lots of relatives in Wellington and Wichita, so I heard how cold it is there. 🥶
Thank you Rob! Your story also became viral in the biggest Chinese social media Weibo, where I heard about you from. Millions of people are touched by your story. I live in the U.S. now and have access to RUclips. I want to leave a comment and thank you for doing this. My father left me, my twin sister and my mom when I was 4 because he wanted boys, not girls. I enjoy your videos! I’m learning how to do ties so I can help my husband😹.
All four of my tires have been warning me that they’re low on air for..way too long. I have a dad, but he’s out of town, so here I am. 😂 I love these videos❤️
im an 18 year old girl and i recently bought my first car, my tire pressure light came on and i asked my dad to teach me how to put air into my tires and he told me im an idiot because i dont know how to, so thank you for this video. its a real help for people like me whose fathers are complete deadbeats
Bar and kPa are used in the metric system (Europe mainly) : 1 bar = 100.000 kP (kilo Pascal) . For example my recommended tyre pressure is 2,4 bar which is roughly 34 psi ( pound force per square inch ) . I find all the vids and the idea very wholesome and nostalgic . Thank you for taking time to do this
I saw this in 9gag and thought I'd watch some of your Vids and it just makes me happy watching you teach stuff. I grew up without a dad because I was adopted and my Step Mom is always at work so I had to learn most of the things I know by myself. Thank you for this Channel and please don't stop making videos
Can I request about fixing Mechanical stuff?
not only he is good at explaining hes a good dad a real G
Thanks Dad ❤ it’s been a rough time out here without you !!
Glad you’re here Savannah Renee 🙏🏻
Zero dislikes...perfect as all things should be
Spoke too soon
Now we have 8😑
Anyone who dislikes this video will be banished to the shadow realm
guarantee the people who disliked just saw your comment ahha :P
Europe uses Atmospheres as the standard air pressure measuring unit. I usually try to keep my tires between 2.1-2.4 atmospheres, which is about the same PSI values that Dad shows in this video. Nice work, Dad!
Thanks. My Dad couldn't be bothered to show me any of this. I love your channel.
Such a cool video! I drive a Hyundai i30 from 2013 (Europe). I control my air pressure every few weeks and you inspired me to optimize my tools. Thank you very much! :)
Hi RUclips dad!!!! First off, I want to thank you so much for starting this channel. Growing up without a father has left me with not knowing many skills a father teaches his children. Writing this brings me to tears as I have embraced your videos and think of you as an actual father figure who has taught me how to take care of things around my apartment. I do have one request! I am shopping for new tires, and I'm completely lost. Besides looking for a reasonable price and knowing the tire size I need, I am unsure how to determine which ones I should buy. The help you can give will be much appreciated.
Thank you so much. This just helped me learn how to put air in my tires while I was at the gas station. I am 32 years old and I’ve never done it by myself.
Thank you so much! Your video was so helpful to me. I am clueless when it comes to anything dealing with a car and your video provided the answers I needed. Keep up the good work.
I already knew all this, but I enjoyed watching him explain 😊 my dad passed away when I was 11 years old so I've gotten most of this kind of knowledge from books at the library and more recently google 😅
The love I have for this man is unreal.
I just bought my first car at 24. You’ve been saving me from looking silly in front of people
I first watched this video a couple weeks ago. Last night my tire pressure got low and I remembered what you taught in this video! I was able to get to a gas station and use my gauge and get the correct tire pressure!
I'm just getting to the point where I need my dad and he left so now I'm stuck alone trying to learn everything so thank you so much
truly the internet’s dad, I just got this light in my car and was stressing till I remembered this channel
