Under 5 Min Video: How to Check the Fluids Under the Hood of Any Car

This basics video will show you how to do the fluid check on any make and model late model car. We use a 2023 Honda Civic and a 2017 Jeep Cherokee for the inspection but the principles of the inspection will show a person with little knowledge of cars how to check the fluids under the hood of a car. We show you how to check the oil, coolant, brake fluid, wiper fluid and the air cleaner. As always our videos are in first person and rough cut because we make video to help people and not because we are film makers. If you have any question or comments about our content please drop us a message in the comment field and we will answer back when we can.
