[@kmineabby3991]

I didnt have a dad around to teach me this, so thank you my friend

[@faith_alone]

Lol same here

[@CDHowTo]

You're very welcome!

[@connorthompson74]

Bro same…

[@apples4576]

Same

[@gettyodoughup8019]

Same :/

[@Emily-lz2jh]

I honestly thought you put the oil in the same place as the checking stick so I'm glad I watched this prior to trying it.

[@bxxtrr]

That can be the case for other fluids, check your owners manual

[@spicypotato4110]

Literally same

[@MrPS3Gamer205]

Me rn

[@Starvingmetheartist]

As someone who has been told just "check the oil and add it if you need it" and then never getting help after doing it wrong, i appreciate this video, made me feel more confident with doing it myself and really seeing what I was never taught. Thank you!!!

[@CDHowTo]

You’re very welcome, glad I could be of some assistance!

[@zachmueller2912]

Where did you end up putting the oil the first time?

[@eNyaaaw]

I love this video. No one taught me this and I feel like an idiot asking how to check and change your oil. You have saved me from embarrassment and money. Thanks pal

[@HypnoticHawk]

I just did this with the most confidence I ever had. I never had anyone teach me any of this. I made sure to get exactly what I needed and followed your instructions. My car feels so much better smoother, ride. Thank you sir for this post you have no idea how much I appreciate it.

[@CDHowTo]

Great to hear! Happy I could help your car run smoother and teach you something :)

[@nicobellic9919]

Reminder to check your oil again if you haven't because it's been 3 months

[@HypnoticHawk]

@@nicobellic9919 dude thank you so very much honestly

[@HypnoticHawk]

@@nicobellic9919 dude thank you so much I actually really had to do it whenever you told me. It was looking real dirty

[@loonytoongt1245]

I grew up fatherless so never had someone to teach me things like this! Thank you for being here 😁

[@LoneRider1969]

Thank you , after losing my husband 8 months ago I was going to take it to the mechanics & wasnt sure how much that would cost..But now Im so much more confident & you may of saved me a few dollars...Thanks again so very grateful☺

[@HappySunshineDay]

Hi, I hope all is well with you. Thank you so much for this video! My husband passed away and I had no idea what to do when the "Check Oil Soon" light came on in my car. I didn't even know how to open the hood! But your video (and others like it) help me to know it's not the end of the world. Thanks for showing us how easy this is - AND how frequently you check on an older car.

[@eriktreptow827]

Appreciate this. Feel like a bloody fool not learning this years ago but I always took my car to my mechanic for servicing and fluid top ups and kept to the servicing schedule rigidly so barely ever popped the bonnet to check myself, didnt seem to be a need. My old man isnt the teaching sort either, his world is inside the bottle of the beer he drinks. Nowadays, struggling financially to pay a mechanic to take care of the car, leaving me with the only other option - learning this myself. Your video was precise, to the point and didnt leave me feeling like an imbecile. Thank you

[@august6029]

Simple, easy to understand, and very quick to the point. Mad respect 🙏

[@juliancastillo2088]

i don’t know if you realize how helpful this video is to people, thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us ❤️

[@CDHowTo]

I’m happy to help!

[@user-ic4re8oh9c]

I never had anyone teach me how to do this, thank you!!

[@scottanderson4409]

I really like this guy.... gives simple instructions that everyone can understand. My car is older now and burning oil faster. I need to add oil or else too many trips to oil change franchise which = $$$

[@BrokenDharmaForge]

Im trying to learn to take care of my 26 year old car and this simple video taught me an important new skill! Thank you!

[@Judgemental_Crow]

What car?

[@weezydee4452]

Very helpful! And having the type of oil written on the oil cap is genius! All cars should have this

[@yiovanizavala4674]

Thanks for teaching me this. I’m 18 now and my dad never taught me anything about this, very easy and simple thank you!

[@ooopticnerveee]

Thank you for the added tip about how frequently you check the oil. My car is older and definitely needs a closer eye on the inner workings. Thank you for your helpful video, I feel confident about adding more oil to my engine 😊

[@Anonymous-wx1id]

As someone who didn't have a dad around to show me any of this stuff, I appreciate your video. Very straightforward and easy to understand.

[@OneAccordDanceMinistryNYC]

Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining this process. A few videos I watched didn't explain where on the stick we should be looking. I also appreciate you explaining how the knob tells you what type of oil your car needs. After watching your video, I feel confident checking/Adding oil to my vehicle

[@CDHowTo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tiktokpositivevideos2223]

Thanks, Papa, as a single mom, your video save me some cash this morning 😊

[@dstlscards]

Thanks! Appreciate the help

[@CDHowTo]

Thank you so much for the kind gesture!

[@sagworldtv713]

Just watched the whole video myself. Very informative and easy to do when you sit down and listen carefully!

[@jackofalltrades6025]

Straight to the point very helpful!

[@rustyjeanz]

Nicely explained. To the point. Without wasting time. Thats what I needed. Thank you

[@Lil_Tim_Also_Akvavi2]

I was very happy to see this! My Audi A4 2.0L 2006 have me the low oil warning light, and I've bought a L if the oil that my mechanic used when I serviced the car. Now I know how to do this thank you!

[@icyjay9282]

Thank you so much for getting straight to the point and showing where it says what oil we should use

[@juanwentz]

Thank you! Single mom here that can’t afford to have my car break down. I don’t have a dad to show me stuff like this! 💙

[@veronicajasso1108]

Thank you. Thank you. Really appreciate your video and the simplicity of teaching us how to do it.

[@fearmkultra445]

Thank you , I’m just a young man looking to learn just the basic when it comes to cars.

[@CDHowTo]

Glad to help

[@lpzerika7]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful being my first time adding oil into my car

[@mcxtwxstx]

Thank you so much! My dad never thought me this stuff so I truly appreciate it!

[@marykay3449]

😮 thankyou. I'm a single lady with no knowledge of car I have . Similar to this one This is so helpful 🙏

[@CDHowTo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nickiromero9046]

This was so easy to understand!!! Thanks

[@cityfolkferal]

Thank you for making this, appreciate it! :)

[@remixxl3068]

thanks for teaching me this man.. my father never was the teaching kind.

[@gilbertstraube9937]

I never had a dad my mom pass 2021 so this is a good video

[@bzking24]

I don't know why but I got hyped when I saw the blue paper 🤣 We use those too epic

[@kylblk3]

Thank you so much! My man forgot to add oil to my car before leaving to work, this saved me.

[@glw5166]

Excellent instructions and a most helpful video. Thank you!

[@terrarobertson5913]

Thank you so much!! I just got out of a dv relationship and I have had 0 clue how to do it.... and my dad lives far away 😭 I did call him to make sure because I was scared 😅 thank you so so much!! ❤❤❤ seriously helped me ❤❤

[@CDHowTo]

You are so welcome!

[@starlite369]

Thank you so much!! I don’t have a dad and I needed this BADLY

[@metekarabulut7043]

No bullshit straight to the point. Thank you CD

[@crimdoesstuff6295]

Finallyyyy I've been trying to find a video like this but every single one is like "jack the car, unscrew the bottom, take the filter out, replace it, put it back in" Like, I'm pretty sure you don't need to do that to do an oil change.

[@nathanasewell2585]

No fr I literally was stressing so hard I was about to pay someone

[@sweetyfri]

When are you suppose to do that? I don't get it

[@shawnesemays1973]

Thank you so much I learned my lesson today and I don't have to use my neighbor all the time 😂

[@dinayansane7524]

Thank you so muchhhhhhh! Never knew why they do that with the stick

[@nocommentaryallaction6680]

Appreciate it my was low on oil and I need to add some much love!!

[@cindycat4268]

I like the simplicity of this video Thank you so much 😢❤ saved my car 🎉😅

[@marissagutierrez4994]

As a girl who was never taught any of this, thank you 👏

[@doubtazul]

Thank you so much for putting this up. I feel like an idiot asking people random questions about my car every now and again 😅 So a stupid question for you, when should I add the motor oil, on a cold engine, motor off, 1dt thing in the morning etc? 🧐🤔 I have a beater so I think I should practice the weekly routine 😅 Also, when can I have a tune up? I had one in July.

[@clcrittenton9950]

Thank you my Ex-husband used to take care of this stuff lol Time to do it myself 😀

[@sonnylew1113]

haha

[@ThaClassyOnes2356]

I'm autistic so this was informative how I like and easy to understand. My bio dad is an unsavory character. Wish I had a real one to teach me these things, but unfortunately, like the masses, I'm here too.

[@DAPHYA]

You explained that so well!!!

[@hollycolotta9859]

Great video! Simple & to the point. TY

[@sophieterry8175]

Thanks dad. I’m stuck in a beater for the indefinite future, and it has a small oil leak.

[@joshhoffman517]

Thanks for the how-to, this helped 👍

[@johnmagpantay8841]

Thank you for this Sir! God bless more power to your channel.

[@carson5151]

Thanks. My dad knows nothing about any of this (not his fault just not his thing y’know) so this is helpful

[@sbeve7195]

Your my KZbin dad today!

[@citygirlingraham]

Thank you for helping me with something I should know how to do, but don’t.

[@bernoldychrispin1275]

Thank you for teaching me how to check the oil

[@j3drippinNotSlippin]

How do you know how much oil to put in? Like say it’s just touching the “change line”. How many quarts would be suggested to add?

[@Nildawdjd]

Thank you for this lesson

[@pattyvjones209]

Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

[@mattalexander5324]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@BlueFlame-fv3xz]

If my cars oil is empty, I could just add oil? I don’t need a oil change to be safe? The check engine light is off as well

[@ZanesFacebook]

If you car loses oil at all, it indicates a larger problem. Depending on what the problem is, yes, you can just keep adding oil. But you still need to have the oil and filter changed every 5k miles, or less. If your engine is constantly losing oil, then there will be tons of carbon buildup inside the engine which will, eventually, destroy the engine. Keeping the oil at the correct level, and changing the oil and filter (make sure the engine has the proper amount of oil when you change it, so you get as much crud out as possible) will keep it going longer

[@exploringdixie]

I have a sports car now and people have treated me like a idiot for asking so thank you so much

[@BPb123]

Thank you for this. My husband wouldn't help me, so I really appreciate it. BTW, I'm divorcing him.

[@terrarobertson5913]

Can you teach us how to change the oil? ❤

[@rafaelReyes-rh3gv]

Thanks g. Didn’t have a dad so I appreciate it so much

[@artimasartimas4515]

Great video.

[@hillarymershon6649]

Thank you for this!!!!!

[@nu.wa.n]

Legend! What's the difference between topping up the oil and doing an oil change?

[@Alexg3433]

U can’t run the engine without oil & and oil changing is required every 3 months or every certain miles depending on ur car (check car manual) for example my truck I have to change it every 5,000 miles

[@Kismeta]

Thank you for this great video. ✌️

[@xxstephenxx1997]

Thanks man 💪

[@SamyD23]

glad i watched this first, i would have thought you were meant to put the oil in the bit that the stick goes in xD

[@blastinnn]

xDD

[@tarik2674]

Thanks indeed. Was pretty helpful.

[@mdmahmudhasan1645]

For old cars, it's a good habit to check the oil level regularly, and it's an easy solution to dry off oil but try to change oil and filter completely after 5000 miles.

[@Emasmarketingco]

very helpful and much appreciated! :)

[@danneewood]

Thank you. I can do this. No more waiting on unreliable people...

[@bkdnursery6306]

Thank you for doing this video

[@RunningAces2022]

Thank you good sir 😊

[@jasminwilliams5301]

I appreciate it I’ve never had a car and no one to show me I have a question what and why is an oil change?

[@CDHowTo]

An oil change is something that needs to be done every 5000 miles or so. It helps keep the engine running properly as after a while corrosion and sludge can build up

[@Millie_dread]

Should your engine be cooled off before you check the oil?

[@colonelclappers7160]

It doesn't really matter because you wont really be touching the oil, BUT DO NOT OPEN the radiator cap unless you want 3rd degree burns and a missing eyeball after using the car, let that cool down for a while

[@CDHowTo]

As another commentor mentioned, it is not as important for the engine to be fully cooled however you do not want to check the oil while the car is running and as they also mentioned never open the radiator cap while the engine is hot

[@TheCosmicGuy0111]

Awesome man

[@markirthy3019]

how would you know how much oil to add? Does that depend on the engine size? Also what level of the dipstick indicates how much oil the car needs topping up?

[@mimig5843]

Thank you 😊

[@firdaussheikh4817]

Thank you dear❤❤❤❤❤ 🇬🇧 Bradford

[@googledocs9359]

I had no idea how to do this! There’s a leak in my car and I’m basically empty of oil, just bought the right one for my car and now it’s time to fill her up

[@vme3000]

Great videos

[@jackiealvarez9900]

Thank you so much!

[@SpaceJamKID26]

No one taught me this so I gotta watch this random guy and his video

[@potatopack]

good video thank you

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Very useful, thank you.

[@ghettochildmello574]

Yeah thanks bro my dad not here to teach me dis so thank alot

[@Lilbuck338]

Helpful!

[@rayz1568]

Can we add cold oil to a warm or hot engine?

[@CDHowTo]

preferably a cold engine

[@DerangedIntellectual9]

looks like your mazda's giving you some trouble too bud. :( i drive a 2010 acura tl and for all my other cars i've replaced oil between 6 and 8 thousand kms. my TL is reading 90% oil life and it's barely been 1000 km since the last oil and filter change (about a month and a half ago) but my dipstick reading is now at low so i have to add more oil. it really pisses me off that i have to add extra oil long before my next change is due. i've heard burning oil's been a problem with these late 2000s-early 2010s Japanese models. any suggestions? I have the J37 engine.

[@CDHowTo]

This particular car wouldn't stop burning oil no matter what so we eventually ended up getting rid of it. We were getting the exact same problem you mention, it seemed within 1000km of the last oil change we would be low on oil once again

[@veche7959]

Thank you

[@venusbee2984]

I know this may sound like a stupid question but does the engine need to be warm? Some say you need to run the engine for a bit before Checking and some say there’s no need.

[@CDHowTo]

Not a stupid question! There is no need to run the engine.

[@santosbenitez3112]

That’s only for the transmission oil ❤️

[@ilysaud]

Is it okay to add new oil to old one because i got low oil engine

[@CDHowTo]

yes
