VIDEO 
We used to produce instructional and automotive equipment demo videos.
We had planned to make a whole series for D.I.Y.ers but we decided to stick to
the repair business.
This video covers how to check all of your under-hood fluid
levels. It also covers checking the air filter and tire pressure.
You may save the file to your hard drive so you don't have to download it
again. You can even burn a CD, make a copy, give it to your mechanically
challenged friends for Christmas, whatever you want, BUT you don't have
permission to sell it :)
Chapters
The whole thing is 32 minutes, but chapter numbers are always in the top right corner of the screen so
you can fast forward (or drag the "play head") and watch just what you want to
at that time.
(If downloading though, you may have to download the entire thing before you
can drag the play head around. That will take a while because this is a
high resolution video, the entire file is 335 megs. Just start the video
and come back later if you don't have time to watch it all right now. When
you come back, the download will be done and you can drag the play head through
the chapters.)

This is the video as
we made it years ago, without any updates or editing. In the video we mention
future videos that will be coming out soon but that is no longer true.
We posted this video because it is a thorough treatment of the subject and will
be very useful if you do not know how to do these tasks. We do have
another video telling you how to check under car fluids and how to change your
oil and filter, but we have no current plans to produce any more videos.
