[Engine Oil]
Let’s start by looking at engine oil. Besides fuel, it’s probably the most important fluid in your vehicle.
Motor oil lubricates engine components and keeps everything going smoothly.
It’s a good idea to check it once a month, or more often if you suspect a leak or another issue.
Your vehicle’s manufacturer will specify the recommended oil weight and oil change service interval for your vehicle.
Make sure your vehicle is turned off and sitting on level ground.
Let it sit for at least thirty seconds before checking the oil level.
Most vehicles have a dipstick under the hood that you’ll use to check the level of the oil.
Once you find the dipstick, slide it out and wipe the excess oil off the end with a shop towel.
You should see markings or other indicators on the dipstick for minimum and maximum oil levels.
After wiping off the excess oil, reinsert the dipstick all the way, then pull it back out to see what the oil level is.
The oil should be reading close to the maximum marking.
If it’s a little low, add oil carefully to top it off. A funnel is helpful when you’re doing this. Make sure you’re adding where the oil fill cap is removed, not the dipstick tube.
Add a few ounces at a time, and re-check it to make sure you don’t overfill it.
If your level is at or below the minimum mark, it’s important to add oil immediately.
This could be an indication that your vehicle is leaking or burning oil-you should seek the help of a professional to prevent further damage.
Also, take note of the texture and color of the oil. Get some between your fingers.
It should be slick and smooth, in a yellow or amber color.
Grittiness or particles in the oil can indicate that components are wearing down, which is a major issue.
If you notice a milky color, check to see if there’s any condensation on the inside of the cap.
If there is, it could be an indication of moisture that hasn’t been burned off.
But it could also mean that coolant is leaking into the engine oil, which is a more serious situation.
Other indications of this can be brownish coloration in the coolant reservoir or white smoke from the exhaust.
If any of those symptoms are present, you should have your vehicle towed to a shop to avoid damage to your engine.
[Coolant]
An engine produces a lot of heat, and your coolant-also known as antifreeze-is what keeps things cool.
It does this by absorbing engine heat and allowing it to dissipate through the radiator, which keeps your vehicle from overheating.
It’s recommended you check your coolant level with each oil change [link to coolant flush & fill video].
Always wait for your engine to cool completely before checking coolant. Two to three hours is safe if you’ve been driving.

Engine oil pressure light is on in my BMW
Can I just point out that you should NEVER top off your brake fluid unless its under minimum level(which it never should be unless there is a problem), that is very inaccurate. When your brake fluid is starting to get low, your brakes pads/shoes are getting low. The brake calipers fill with more fluid to push the piston out farther since there is less "meat" on the pads, and when the brake service is done and the caliper pistons are compressed, all of that fluid in the caliper and brake lines goes back to the reservoir, so now when the brakes on that Honda get done(the cap needs to be off the brake fluid reservoir when compressing the caliper pistons to avoid the pressure build up from harming the brake master cylinder), a nice mess will be made under the hood when it overflows out of the reservoir as the technician is completing the brake service. Just thought I'd point that out.

wheres the blinker fluid
Bruh the reason I needed this video 🤣🤡
😂😂😂
😆
In the blinker cap bro!!!
By the board stretcher, next to the air samples
Best presentation ever by this young man. Thanks!!!❤
Turn the quart over so the opening is at the top as you pour. No more glugging.
I just poke bigass holes in my containers to increase airflow. Works like a charm 👍

Very clear instructions. Makes me feel as a 63 yo woman I can do certain things for myself and save money. Thank you, am subscribing.
Take a drink every time he says "vehicles manufacturer."
ouch my stomach hurts
Or “at every oil change”
I’m already fucked up halftime way there tho
Thank you, this was very helpful for me. I've been an older woman on my own for a couple of years and vehicle maintenance is not on my list of accomplishments--until now!
Great tips and presentation! Thanks!

How do I fill my cup holder fluid ??please help
But where do you out the transmission fluid in? In the dipstick hole?
The reason I’m here right now 😂😂😂
What do you mean? Drain the transmission fluid? There should be a drain plug for your transmission.
Things my dad shouldve taught me
I'm with you
Love the mugen 🥰
Okay so 3 of the axels fell off my car and how do do fix them
My cars leaking water but don’t have any idea why check engine light also turned on and has trouble starting.
It bugs me to see people pouring oil with the spout on the low side. This causes the pulsing "glug-glug" pour that comes from air having to shoulder past the oil to get into the bottle. With the spout at the top it pours much smoother as the air and oil don't fight each other. This helps avoid spills. This method is usually shown in a pictogram right on the oil bottle's spout.
That saved me a lot of money and time.
Very nice!

Orielly is not a car company. What are you smoking?

Thanks Vince Carter !
Thank you!! Other video channels wont tell you how to fill tranny fluid
👁👄👁 me watching tryna change my own oil 😩🤣🤣
Me too!
Thanks Jeremy
Just had the oil changed with synthetic oil for the Toyota Prius. The issue is that the oil is virtually clear, and when I put the dipstick in to check the oil level I am unable to see what the level is. Any suggestions?
Idk
What if you slid a q-tip down the stick until it hits the oil?
Get new glasses
Take the car back and get a new one.
Oil weight? You mean oil viscosity. The w in the oil viscosity rating such as 5w-30 stands for winter rating not weight. O'Reilly should know this by now.
Thank you!!!
Nice mugen si
Honda Accord 03-07 Trans Fluid check Hot but not while engine running. Follow this videos nstructions and measurement will be high (inches!) Verify this in your manual.
Its actually exactly the same running or not on honda on most (but not all) hondas
Thank you gus fring
They didn’t say all the fluids what about the transfer case fluid how do you check that and fill it
Thank you
Yas
Great video.
When oil dipstick first is pulled out it shows the correct ammount,so why we are always told to insert it back and check again?
Anybody?
If you’ve added oil it can show higher on the dipstick or get tossed around after it’s been running. My understanding is pull it, wipe it and reinserting it insures that you are getting an accurate reading.
If you are checking your oil first thing in the morning, there is no need to wipe. If you are checking after the vehicle has ran for some time, you wipe to remove oil that may have splashed its way higher up the dipstick.
How many times did he say vehicles ?
too many

All these stupid hate commenters on here, think you're all real smart, huh ---- then, tell me how to indicate if the bottle of oil that you're purchasing is most up to date.

You forgot the blinker fluid!
This sounds so standard general its not showing exactly where or what everything is
Because all cars are different ?🤦🏼♀️ he said in the begging it should be in your vehicles hand book.

How can I trust this video when you guys can’t even hold the oil bottle right. It’s designed to be held in the complete opposite way you are holding it. You can actually turn that container in any other direction and pour it better than you are in the video.
How so?
If you pour with the mouth at the top the way the bottle is designed the air flows smoothly and so does the oil. Even pouring from the side of the bottle makes for a better pour than what they showed.
It’s a bottle. He poured the bottle.

Wow try to scare the heck out of people that doesn’t have a clue about automobiles. Leave it to a auto parts dealer.
Garages love the pet hat don’t know anything about cars. A lot of people that watches this are looking for answers to why under their oil fill cap looks a little milky? The narrator must not know. More times than not that milky oil under the fill cap is caused by the oil itself. Some oils create that milky look.? I can think of one brand that has always drawled moisture and it’s valvoline . Usually because it wasn’t serviced right. All oil’s will drawl moisture over time. Just change the oil on t
As for brake fluid / clutch fluids? Don’t top them over. Low brakes fluid means. You’ve got problems elsewhere brake pads are usually the pad needed replacing.
A dishonest garbage will have you change your engine over your oil drawling moisture lwhrn all you needed was to used different oil😊
