Learn how to test your antifreeze, and how to change your coolant to make sure it is protecting your car’s engine and cooling system properly. In this video I cover what how to properly test your coolant and top off your radiator so it is a 50/50 mix that way your car wont overheat and your engine block wont freeze or corrode.
Also if the heat in your car is weak or you dont have heat, in this video I will show you how to bleed the air out of the cooling system so you can get heat Coolant is 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water. And no, freeze plugs are not going to save your engine block from freezing and cracking every time.

"Fixing" to get my ASE Certification once I watch all your videos.
What to do on hot weather
Is it possible to put too much antifreeze? Why don’t you just go 100%?
What about electric cars?
This video for my brother is NUTS
WOODER!😂
What will happen if i use anti freaz alone?
Yo I must be drunk I thought it was really snowing 😂
Hi I’m a kid and I want to be a mechanic you are giving a lot of tips an Tricks and that’s why I watch your Channel
2:34 we had a car that had a cracked block because water got too cold and froze, the freeze plugs didn't do their job (it was a PT cruiser)
I dont know that, but can you add the straight antifreeze, without a 50/50 mix?
the coolant looks like pee
Sometimes when I watch these videos I wonder what Chrisfix might be fixing right now.
Wooder
The jaguar looked like it had oil in the water when you drained the radiator…
Being someone from Malaysia, specifically a mere 4.4 degrees north of the equator where we never go below 24°C or 75°F, I always find 'antifreeze' confusing and it's to be something needed in cold places only, turns out it's a 50/50 mix and has higher boiling temp. Glad to learn that! Also, I always use hose wooder for my wipers since it doesn't freeze here. Not something I'd recommend but for people where I'm from it's pretty normal.
My area gets sooo cold in winter and it becomes a pan in summer
Texans: hmmmm good to know
Try the tool with salt water and see what it shows.
The best and informational videos I have seen I actually learn something from your videos when I go to my Technical Career school for Automotive Technology I could use the knowledge I get from your videos on whatever I’ll be doing
bro its not "wooder" it water
Chris you know the roll cage I have a idea for the colour black roll cage but have lots of Chris fix sticker like a sticker bomb
why do you still have that jaguar
i have a quick question and please don't laugh im new to working with car but what will happen if u just put straight anti-freeze?

Best videos this guy has always so clear
don't forget to change your summer air to winter air in tires!
Its cool the way he says water wooter
Hello Chris,
I have a question. You say at 10:40 that there is no problem if you come a little over the maximum line with the cooling fluid. But when I use the Spill Proof Funnel, I am actually very much above the maximum line. Actually, the liquid is then filled all the way to the top. Do I have to take liquid out until it is at the maximum line?
Greetings from Germany.
PS: Cool that you now have a German car 🙂
Hey guyssss I appreciated it lol
No body in this world explain much more better than this ….
Fantastic explanation …
Thanks a lot ..
Your brother from india…
