Don't drive on E
Always drive on a quarter of a tank or more. It will save your fuel pump.

When you change your brake pads, open the bleeder valve to get the fluid out when you compress the caliper and don't force it back thru the system. Forcing it back thru can mess up the ABS, plus it helps get old fluid out. Just make sure you don't run the master cylinder dry.

Tectron is a very good additive. A coworker who drove a Mercedes Benz used it in the 1980's to keep fuel injectors clean. My Dodge Shadow never hand an engine or fuel injector problem for 8 years, until it was hit and destroyed. I still use it today.

[normandlariviere]

Don t put additives but use fuel injector cleaner? Don t flush coolant but flush brake fluid?? Do oil changes regularly but reset the reminder yourself??? Ok now for real advice, DON T LET AI RUN YOUR LIFE. It seems way too confused...

Shotgun method used by most repair shops- replace all parts the *could possibly* be the problem. Easier and more profitable then troubleshooting the root cause. Shotgun method ensures the customer wont return for the same issue.

Coolant drain and refill is a must every 5 years. Coolant gets acidic after few years…
Brake fluid also needs drain and refill….power steering…same.

Changing transfer case fluids in 4WD and AWD. YOU on point with everything else. Thanks for the video

[herchelleonwood]

i recommend buying an OBD tool to check for yourself when the check engine light comes on, , the cheaper $30-$40 versions are fine,

[HoodsGlobal]

***Great tips. I would add a spark plugs change at 100k miles. Use iridium plugs, they are long life.

My 2011 Honda Odyssey with 129K mileage has not given me mechanical or electrical troubles since I purchased the unit brand-new. I change engine oil according to Honda's maintenance minder, use synthetic oil, and don't add additives to fuel. Although I already replaced the rear shock absorbers and other parts and am about to replace the CV axle. I plan to keep it running for years to come.

1. I drive a 20 year old car that runs as well as it did on the first day, brand new.
2. This means that I record the date and mileage of every servicing and repair along with either the recommendation for future servicing by mileage or time.
3. It also means that I give multiple written instructions of what is to be done by my independent mechanic along with any chemicals specific to the car and parts that are either aftermarket or OEM, depending upon the literature.
4. My car is clean inside and outside and is showing its age. Are you impressed by a car someone drives? Fine. Between my street and the next block are 3 Rivians, multiple huge SUVs, new cars. I have no car payment and no credit card debt for years.

I can sum this video up in four words. READ THE OWNERS MANUAL!!! on most cars that people would be driving they tell you nearly all of this information. Regurgitation at its finest.

Your vehicle servicer will it be the dealership or otherwise can test the coolant and see if it's acidic and basically give you an idea how often you need to change it as well as other fluids in your vehicle such as fuel system needs an injector cleaner or fuel system cleaner detergent that will keep your injectors clean and running properly instead of resulting in poor fuel economy, most engine oils have all the additives that are included in the bottle so only thing you need to remember is to shake up the bottle before you pour them in and make sure you don't leave those additives in the bottom of the bottle by doing so as most mechanics will probably tell you if you have a vertically mounted oil filter go ahead and refill the filter before you put the new one on so it takes 5 seconds or so off the time for your oil to reach the parts of your engine that require lubrication such as the camshafts on top and the crankshaft bearings also two things that I'm testing now is the Valvoline restore and protect that actually cleans out deposits inside of your engine and motorkote spelled with a K that puts a super slick surface on the friction surfaces inside your engine especially your Pistons Rings bearings over overhead cams camshafts and driveshafts, oil change intervals depending on your make and model vehicle use layer between 5, 010, 000 me make sure you change it on time when it's required this will keep you from having corrupt oil through possible mixture of fuel mixed in with your engine oil which is the number one corruptor of engine oil, cooling system flushes are usually dictated by manufacturer or dealer requirements and a lot of the new high-tech coolants have 100, 000 MI

100% on brake fluid bleed or flush. I keep my vehicles a long time. I was not a stranger to having to replace calipers. I added an occasional brake fluid bleed to my maintenance and I haven’t had to replace a caliper or master cylinder in years.

6:27 - thanks, i was thinking about "how are we goin to live on mars" and you just gave me answer. I'm gonna pack a lot of heater cores and make them produce air. Great!

[jamesgarage]

Coolant flush is needed to prevent acidic corrosion of engine gasket

[WannaKnowDetails]

I gotta say.. Valvoline oil changers talked me into their fuel treatment. It actually unquestionably made a difference. But going forward I use Seafoam.

[Sommers]

30 -40 yrs ago they talked about flushing antifreeze every couple years. Now my technicians tell me don't even touch it as long as its color is good and it's working leave it indefinitely. In 12 years owning an 8 cyl cylinder Jaguar I never did a flush only drained some of the fluid once when there was a little problem with the AC. In my 2002 BMW 3 Series I did a complete cooling system change out of all parts because they're known to be faulty and that was over 5 years ago and I haven't changed the antifreeze since.

[shawngegelman]

Talk about hippocritic. #1 Don't use additives.... Then on #7. fuel injector cleaners additives for low quality fuel.
