man really wrote wooder lol
3:33 Chris definitely ended up on a watchlist for buying these specific pipe parts
The head gasket sealer wont work.Pull the head and see! It will clogg up the radiator and heater core and the oil pickup screen! 😢
Not the pipe bombs
I run a 90/10 mix, perks of living in Colombia where it does not go under 5-7c, cools the car much better than 50/50 or 70/30
“Wooder”? Are you being funny, or you don’t know how to spell Water?
Wooder😂😂🤣❤ it..
sorry but its Water😂😂❤ but love this video
This video has the most thorough explanation of the antifreeze/radiator function.. A MUST WATCH
am doing detailing an this helps me
Bro what’s the best antifreeze for my trailblazer 2004 LS 4WD
Wooder H2O hahaha
thanks for all the amazing vids. Been watching many of your flush videos and today i finally flushed. Was epic. had a few hicups getting started but once I figured everything out. It was smooth sailing. First flush I've ever done.
😂wooder love it
Exactly the info i needed
Sir, Do you repair cars of car owners?
And it's a above the line. It's just gonna spill out when engine warms up. Since it has a overflow line, just in case the car were to overheat
Reservars are not pressurized.
Viewers don't even know the real questi poll ns to ask…
Chris you don't know why you should use green orange or pink coolant…why do you make videos that don't answer real questions…Can GM cars use pink or green coolant…
Me who lives in a city that is 89.6 degrees in the winter and like 100 degrees at summer : I feel… invincible!
15:30 : How to work out 50/50 ratio
good wooder
Thanks for the video. This helped me a lot.
One more tip:
Only use distilled water. Tap water contains minerals and chlorine, minerals corrode metal and chlorine destroys rubber hoses.
Your coolant ratio depends on where you live, 50/50 is good for most people around the world.
If you live where it gets below -34F then a 40W/60AF is better, if you live where it rarely gets below 32F then 70W/30AF is better.
💀wooder💀
Keep in mind 50/50 is not adequate for some climates in the U.S.
60/40 and even 70/30 are not unheard of.
Hahaha I love that you are owning the wooder pronunciation
can i just put coolant without distilled water is it better than mixing with distilled water?
Hi Chris, good video about how to test coolant but what about the pH of the coolant. How would u recommend we do that?
Would a standard test strip work, have you used this method, do u have a brand to use for this test?
Chris, why is the 50/50 mix (DexCool) that I bought only protects to -10 degrees. I wanted full strength but couldn’t find it. I’m headed out today to look for full strength. Please help. Thx.
Man, your videos need to be studied for a model as to how to make quality instructional videos!
love these tips
you are gift from god
Other youtubers: do not try this at home!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chrisfix: do this at home!!!!!!!!
Are aftermarket coolants same as oem
casually makes pipe bomb
Chris, just saw your video on your YouTube success, Congratulations! Another well done in accounting for the coolant left in the water jacket after a radiator drain. I didn’t learn this technique until I was in New York during an extreme winter, NOT a good time to learn! Another great video & congrats again on your YouTube success, well deserved!!!
