    Many thanks for posting these. I was dismayed to see that the Nutz about Bolts YouTube channel had been deleted. Those videos were better than the AllData shop manuals, and I'm due for an engine coolant change. Now all I need is some clear weather!

    Hey guys! I am happy to announce that we got our YouTube channel back! I will be deactivating the other YouTube channel, thank you everyone for being supportive of our YouTube channel. Now we can resume and focus on what we do best, which is making tutorial videos!

    Sorry @Tideland Prius for making you do double work... is there anyway I can help you with adding the links back to the first page?

    I love that there are videos out there like nutz about bolts and Chris fix...etc. They are so helpful for a step by step how-to and gives regular not so car-savvy car owners the confidence to get under their hoods and figure out how the thing that gets us around works!

    I've done oil changes, coolant flush, light replacements, brake flush and have many more projects to go! Want to keep my Prius running as long as possible without reading the bank while doing it.

    It was maintenance day for my Prius yesterday. She's almost 100K!

    Thanks to @NutzAboutBolts videos, it made the job a lot easier!

    I had a lot done in just a day:
    • Lubed the rear brakes caliper pins (they were getting dry)
    • Flushed the brake fluid (It was starting to look old)
    • Drained and filled the transmission fluid (glad I did, it was very dark/dirty!)
    • Drained and filled both coolant systems (both looked OK but did it anyways as a preventive measure)
    Still to do for next weekend:
    • Engine oil and filter change (forgot to buy the oil filter at the dealer when buying coolant and transaxle fluid :()
    • Lube the front brakes caliper pins
    Anyways, just wanted to thank @NutzAboutBolts for the great videos!
