    "If your car fails because your not checking your oil, well you suck." - God I love Cooley.
  • @soiceyboy33
    This is the longest video Cooley has posted since the demise of “CNET On Cars” 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Bring back On Cars!!!

    Also check coolant, brake fluid, power steering, and automatic transmission fluid levels, if applicable. Make sure all the dash warning lights are working.
  • @TonicofSonic
    To me things like fluid leaks, brake calipers, wheel bearings, and catalytic converters are important things to be concerned about because these are the kind of things that will cause failures from long term use when maybe otherwise beginning to fail under normal circumstances.

    Cooley is the only man i can actually pay attention to when discussing car mechanics/tech. Now teach me how engines work! lol

    I drove my 96 rav4 with about 300k for about 5 years leaking a qt of oil every 100 miles or so from every seal you could think of, a split radiator that smokes like a bastard and 2 broken front wheel brings timing belt 7 years past due and I'm alive so everyone panicking about your car, you'll be fine. hooptie lyfe.

    Just give us Cooley On Cars! We all want him back with a full show.

    You forgot about the car's cooling system! Important to check your coolant level and make sure there are no leaks! You don't want your car overheating on those long trips!

    I just love the way this guy explains everything.
  • Don’t forget to check your air filter. Real easy to clean and can improve your car’s performance.

    If the brake squeal it does not always say it’s low. I had this issue after I replace it with new pads and rotors. Also check your pressure in the spare tire. It’s always good to have a portable air compressor and battery jump box.

    Cooley's ingenious ploy to expense an oil change and tune-up. Brilliant!
  • @airhorn2111
    CNET ON CARS WITH BRIAN COOLEY. This is what we want!

    It may be nice and warm here in the yay area this time of year but freezing where you’re going. Use antifreeze windshield washer fluid because in slush is where you’ll need that stuff the most anyways.
