[@STBRetired1]

@@Freezinggreece2 Last year, I bought a '94 F-150 that came out of Tennessee. Turned out to be a '94 cab on a '92 frame. I flushed EVERYTHING - even the rear differential and brake fluid. It's a great truck in that you can even drain the torque converter fully. But I figured if it was a junkyard Frankenstein then I better do a thorough job if I wanted it to last. Had to rebuild all four brakes, too. I found that an oil pan off of a 4x4 will fit on this 2 wheel drive truck. The 4x4 pan has a drain plug. How nice. Don't have to be balancing an oil pan full of 6 quarts of oil in it while laying on your back underneath the truck.

I know absolutely nothing about cars apart from cleaning them, changing a tire and checking the oil. Your videos have given me sooo much information and I've watched some of them multiple times to really soak in all the knowledge. Watched the brake change video today but I'm not yet confident enough to do that. But I might just change the oil myself, check the other fluids and maybe change them or at least tell my uncle (mechanic) what needs to be changed. Keep up the great work

[@12stormy13]

If you can change your oil you can do your brakes. Just make sure you have the patience haha, you can do it!

[@forsakenlife4873]

Learning to change oil is a great way to begin learning vehicle maintenance. Along with spark plugs which are inexpensive and also easy to change. Just be mindful not to cross thread your bolts. Especially the drain bolts for oil pans. Buy yourself an actual service manual for your vehicle to go along with the owner's manual. Invest in a few simple quality tools and you'll be off and running.

[@yougetagoldstar]

Believe it or not, knowing nothing about cars is complementary to femininity. Don't feel that you need to get into masculine things to be acceptable (yes, getting into cars is a masculine thing). Sadly, many women today are not taught how to be a female at all. Try and find womanly women, hang out with them and learn from them. Also, unless you've lost your hair because of an illness that you can't control, having a buzz cut is not feminine. If you look to the past, you'll find that feminine women were nothing like the women you see today. You should want to be more feminine not only because it's beautiful, not only because masculine men love it and do not love unfeminine women, but because you are a woman and once you get the basics down, you will naturally do it well. What you just heard is the truth and, sadly as well, the majority of people out ther are too cowardly to tell you the truth. I would say that most people on the coments section are too scared to tell you the truth that they will pander to you. Search for videos of feminine women and you will not see them working on cars. And if you want to get a full dose of real women, search for videos of biblical women. Regardless of how you feel about religion, those women are super feminine and super ladylike. They will give you the best advice. Reunite with your femininity and leave the masculine things to men, there are enough men around to handle the job (including your husband or future husband).

You made changing your oil look so simple, but I spent an hour trying to get the drain plug out, and another hour trying to take off the oil filter! It was way tighter than it should have been.

Once you do it and a shop doesn’t over tighten it, the next time is way easier. Also get a longer wrench. Leverage is your friend! Extendable ratchets are great for that reason!

Success story! I bought an old truck with 225k miles on it, and my brother told me the best thing I could do for it would be to change all the fluids. Then he shared this video with me. This video gave me the confidence to get it done myself, and I'm so grateful! I even got extra thorough and did a complete flush of the coolant, complete drain of the transmission (including the torque converter, which had a drain plug), and I removed, cleaned, and painted the differential covers. It was actually fun! I just finished the job and took it out for a joy ride and she runs beautifully! So stoked! Next I'm moving on to your video about detailing the engine bay. It's covered in old grease and stays hot for a while after shutting off, so I think cleaning it will help a lot. Thanks Chris!

A little addition to the transmission oil change: some cars have two bolts, one drain plug and one plug above to fill it with oil. The important thing is: always loosen the filler plug first, then the drain plug. This way you can make sure that you have oil in the transmission incase the filler bolt is rusted and won't come out. If it doesn't you could still drive to the professionals to have it fixed.

This is a great video that covers a lot of detail. I would add 1 small detail. You can use DOT3 brake fluid in a vehicle that calls for DOT4 (this is not recommended), and you can use DOT4 in a vehicle that calls for DOT3 (this is a wise choice). The difference between DOT3 and DOT4 is the temperature range they can handle, with DOT4 being able to handle higher temperatures, which helps to keep your brakes operational/reactive in a panic stop situation. Part of this was detailed on the bottle of brake fluid you used, as it stated 'DOT3 & DOT4' on the label.
