    Being someone from Malaysia, specifically a mere 4.4 degrees north of the equator where we never go below 24°C or 75°F, I always find 'antifreeze' confusing and it's to be something needed in cold places only, turns out it's a 50/50 mix and has higher boiling temp. Glad to learn that! Also, I always use hose wooder for my wipers since it doesn't freeze here. Not something I'd recommend but for people where I'm from it's pretty normal.

Just hook up the battery alight and where done. Now place the timer I use I simple stop watch we don’t want this exploding on us now we want to see a timer. Good look how cool that looks.

But this year(2020) it felt like we had only 2 seasons, winter and monsoon as it rains out of literally nowhere an' there are at least 3 days of rain every month(It rained yesterday for the comment on 29.12.2020), anyway, this is one of the factors that gives identity to India and makes its climate interesting

    Love all your videos and we learn a lot! Thanks for the antifreeze nerd math!
    TIP: Keep your old empty or 1/2 empty antifreeze jugs and be sure to mark them as "Premix 50/50" for this tip.
    Add a mix of 1/2 water and 1/2 antifreeze to the empty jugs OR simply add water to the 1/2 empty jugs!
    This way it is still in the original containers for safety. We keep an extra jug or 2 of this mix in the car trunk or in the back of the truck in case we have a leak on the side of the road and maybe we can help someone stranded one of these days! Remember to never add cold liquid to an overheated engine, let the engine cool down, then add your liquid. This also helps to keep a consistent mixed solution no matter how much you lose, whatever is left in the vehicle is always 50/50!!!
