Bro this is why Chris fix is my favorite car YouTube channel, you’re the homie Chris!
Topping up washer, engine oil and radiator fluid is the only thing I have done to my car. To scared to do the other stuffs. 😅
You miss one, how i change my blinker fluid? The oil affects the piston springs??? Come on chris …
@Ade Parulian think dude how much time it takes to film the video and edit it
Why don’t you divided each part to separate video instead of long time video?!!
34:43 ahh it’s not a chrisfix video without the “medium strength thread locker” lol love your videos!
Helpful tip:
Race ramps work great for lifting a car from all four wheels and I feel a lot safer. Drive up the front ramps, jack rear up and slide a second set under. Feels way more solid that jack stands imo
Great vid, as always. Just one observation: some cars’ ABS system circuits mean using a different bleeding sequence is best. For instance, on my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 the correct order is passenger rear, driver front, driver rear, passenger front. You can’t go too wrong with farthest to closest if you don’t know, but just a mention of it to those who are unaware.
I just recently changed my transmission fluid just to find out it was the original trans. Fluid from the factory and the car is 35 years old.
@mathew b
That’s why I asked my question
Im very curious to know about the out come since I have 130k on my original ATF and a ZF transmission i heard they are very sensitive
@mathew b only if it’s a auto
The thing is it takes dexron II which doesn’t exist any more and it’s a red color, what came out was a very slight darker red so it was still good over 35 years. It takes 11.30 quarts.
Thought about changing trans fluid on my Escalade with the 4L65E but not sure if it’s ever been changed or ok to do so. It’s got 117k
@Axel Martinez That’s pretty surprising that it wasn’t burnt. I’m assuming the car doesn’t have that many miles on it? Either way I would have been extremely afraid to even touch it being that old lol
19:50 who else can smell it
Me lol

You forgot blinker fluid though.
Found it, I came here to say it was not there, so had to try to be more eagle eyed after you said you did include it!
Where was the blinker fluid part? I watched the vid twice now and didn’t see it
ChrisFix no blinker! (It’s a joke)
1990_4Runner 24:47
We were looking for it as soon as he said “all” fluids…
For those who didn’t see it… The recommended video at the end tells you how to change it…
