Summary: The automobile—a machine that means so much to so many—is a complex system built on the designs and ideas of men and women who are long gone from the world. And while we’ve enjoyed traveling the back roads of childhood, the streets of adolescence, and the highways of adulthood, the car has remained a reliable means of transportation, as well as a vehicle that embodies the hopes and dreams of reaching exciting new destinations, or returning home.

For a car to operate normally, it must have some basic care and maintenance. In these free automotive repair videos, learn how to maintain your engine cooling system. The cooling system keeps your car from overheating on the road; a lot of heat is generated by an internal combustion engine, which must be properly dissipated. Our expert will show you how to check antifreeze levels and mix and refill your fluid if needed. He’ll also give you tips on how to find leaks, and how to flush your cooling system without using expensive equipment or going to the mechanic. So learn how to care for your vehicle in this free auto repair and car care instructional series.
