Remember to keep the fluid out of your eyes or you may experiance uncontrolled blinking until you can flush it out.

They should put dipsticks at the back of the blinkers to make checking the levels easier and use the dipstick holes to facilitate filling like auto transmission.

Further proof that he's not to be trusted. Did he forget tercels were part of the first group of cars that easily do 300k back when 100k on a domestic was just about done? Grand Marquis is better than Caprice because of RWD? Idiot alert!

After some of his info kills someone, hopefully he get removed. His brake line repair video shows compression fitting repair. The fitting he shows says NOT FOR BRAKES on the package! He should already know better to even need that bold print warning. Eventually his trust of jacks just might remove him first..

he does not know the Tercel very well, lots of people in the comments set him straight. of course, as a mechanic it does not occur to him that because he sees a steady stream of 35 year old Tercels coming into his shop, he thinks the car is not reliable. what he did not stop to consider that 1) the high number of 35 year old Tercels that are showing up (likely more than any other 35 year old car in fact), 2) it needed valve stem seals and a head gasket after it has been on the road for 35 years.
