Thanks again to Mobil 1 motor oil for sponsoring last week’s video and hosting us at their Engine Test Center – since we like their products, we’ve included them in this episode too. Visit AutoZone to find the right high-quality Mobil 1 synthetic oil for you:

Great so you got your first project car, now it’s time to make sure that it is ready for some mods! Before we throw any new bits at our Mazda Miata we want to make sure that it is in good running condition and healthy. So, we will do some basic but very necessary maintenance on our project car and you should do the same. We will talk about and show you how to DIY change your engine oil, coolant, power steering fluid, diff fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. We’ll also cover air filters, fuel filter, belts, and spark plugs. Even if you don’t have a project car these are all routine basic things that you can do yourself to keep your car running for a long time and also save some money!

Money Pit goes hands-on in the garage with Zach Jobe as he shows you the fundamental principles of how cars work, and how to apply your DIY knowledge to your very own project car –all using our very own 1994 Mazda Miata.

    i don't get the oil thing…

    10w-30 behave like 10weight oil in winter but behave like 30weight oil at operating temp? if so how come he says that it thinner than it was originally…or is it that the 30 is not a linear representation and that it's only thinner than original but not as thin as 10SAE oil would be ( which is what he essentially said…) i just want to know what exacly the 30 means…is it an like an absolute value or a relative value

    When bleeding the brakes i recomend starting from the furthest brakes from driver side. For example start with the rear right brake, left, front right, last the left front brakes. (This example aplies only to left hand drive cars)

    Hi there. I like your vids. Have you done a video removing that big carbon (I might be saying this wrong) canister (the gigantic one and not the little one in engine bay) next to the small fuel filter under the car? Supposedly I overfilled my gas tank and flooded it. I'm trying to replace this. I'm not exactly sure how to remove it. I can't find a video on this?

    Bleeding brakes never been so soothing

    About wheel nut torque spec: Honda has the spec at 79 lb-ft and when I torque them that way, just the weight of my breaker bar is almost enough to break them loose. I’ve always used 90 and it’s just fine. Every time I’ve taken my car to a mechanic, the lug nuts are over torqued to about 100-120 from my guesstimation. If you are gonna follow the manufacturers spec (65-80 lb-ft) just be sure to try loosening them after a bit of driving to make sure you feel like that’s a safe torque for you.
