April 1 maintenance minder for EVERY VEHICHLE: 1. Blinker Fluid fill up 2. Summer air fill up 3. Inspect Piston return springs 4. Listen for potentially bad muffler bearings
For saying it's a joke, the effort you put into this video was impressive. The video is super convincing, I might swap out the winter air now thinking about it...
He makes it so seriously that i'm not ashamed to say that last year i got my self cought up in the Muffler bearings video. Only at the end i realised it was a joke video xD
I showed this video to my mom, whom actually believed she needed to get this done; just yesterday, she literally went to the dealership and asked if they could swap the air with winter air, since winter is somewhat soon...I got in trouble, but it was worth it.
Holy shit, I just did this! I measured my top speed with winter air - barely 112mph! Then I switched to Summer air and I'm already up to 126!!! Thanks Chris! ✌
Nuwanda84 before u carry on pushing it u need to put new piston return springs and muffler bearings also u need high performance blinker fluid unless ur a bmw driver
I just switched my tires from winter air to summer air and then it snowed again yesterday so I had to switch back to winter air so I could get to the store. Talk about a bummer. I wish they would make Early Spring Air so that I dont have to keep switching back and forth right now. Love the EE collaboration!
I absolutely lost it when Jason said he was an engineer with "over 75 years experience" hahaha! We know who to trust when they tell you how many decades of experience they have, that's for sure. Great job, as always! I'll be sure to change out the air in all of my cars right away. Thanks!
"When I was a young Engineer in the '30s you could buy American Summer air and it'd be fine but now it's a joke and complete money pit, just like German air. If you want it to last the Summer, better get the Japanese stuff in!"
The guys at auto zone were so helpful in getting my tires switched over to summer air they even called the police to help and the police let me try on the cuffs and ride in the back to the station
2:55 'If you are getting your car serviced, just ask the mechanic to fill your tires with summer air...' God, please, i hope, i HOPE someone actually did that.
My dad told me when I was a kid to always when driving an automatic shift to P (power) when going over 85 for a more stable ride. This works especially well with summer air. To this day I swear by it.
Spray down the valve area with blinker fluid to make sure all winter air has been flush out. Remember to do it so that no winter air is left in the tire
Make sure she checks out her blinker fluid, her piston return springs, her muffler bearing, and her winter and summer air checked all in one. This whole process extends the life of the car by a lot when all of these are checked and replaced.
Don't use it. Temporal mechanics is confusing, and the smallest change to the past can change the future drastically. It also requires 1.2*10^9W or 0x481F2280W to initialize.
I showed my wife this and she called a mechanic. The mechanic was like " ummm uhhh yeah... we can change your tyres to summer air. What type of summer air tho do U want, the standard or the premium summer air?" What a crook hey trying to take advantage
Cardboard This is not an April fools video. This is serious. Don’t you know how many drivers suffer from using the WRONG seasonal air in their tires!!!
Not joking, you should should check your tire pressures when the seasons change. It can fluctuate a bit due to temperature change. Engineering explained wasn't 100% joking when he mentioned the ideal gas law haha.
I use combination gas. You can use it in winter as well as summer. But it only lasts 2 years unfortunately instead of the summer and winter air you can reuse 5 years if it's good quality
@@jimmymoral2181 it makes so much sense and coming from a trusted source, of course it sounds real. Could be true on a very small scale but it really doesn’t matter what air you got as long as it has pressure.
Tim Rebernik, He has his own brand of air and he sells at o’riley’s at certain locations around the U.S. my personal brand preference is pep boys summer air. But really the quality is the same.
I actually thought this was a serious vid until I saw some joking in the comments, then realized how weird all the inconsistencies in the video were, and that there was a card in the top right for a vid on how to change your blinker fluid
Leave it to Chris fix to go above and beyond for an ultimate April fool's. I was super confused at first. I love how he got Jason from engineering explained to use the "ideal gas law". This is the best one yet.
I always run summer air in my cars. But for my customers I got this really great machine to do an air flush for a full exchange. Takes seconds to flush the air.
Today's date is Sept. 10th, 2019. About 5:39 in, I thought to myself "Huh, I've never seen cans of summer or winter air before on those shelves." Then it dawned on me. I checked the posted date. I'm ashamed to even call myself a minor enthusiast, gonna go trade in my Altima for a Yaris now.
Aisle! While you are getting your left-handed screwdriver, ensure you ask for a long weight, chances are they will not have one on the shelf, and so will need to have a look for them out the back.
LMAO my steering/suspension instructor told us he just had someone ask for him to switch the air in his tires from winter to summer and he did it for $20
Just recently realized I have been fooled for 2 years. Ever since I watched this video when it first came out, I have been instructing my friends about this and bringing their cars including mine to deflate the cold air from the past winter and to fill up some warmer air on a hot day in the summer. Really felt that weight savings and relatively some extra horsepower right after every time I changed them out lol.
Don’t forget to change your stereo oil every 10k miles as well, gotta keep those subs kicking. Also, taking a tire rubber sample from the sidewall with a drill and drinking straw to remove it from the tire. Edit: forgot to mention that the tire sample needs to be taken to a local shop to be inspected/evaluated.
Matthew B. You can, but it’s typically not as accurate as the test they do in the shop. Just don’t let them up charger you for the dihydrogen monoxide saturation test, it’s a total scam and only really needs to be done if the tire is more than 5 years old.
Turd Ferguson yeah most likely, i had seen a comment on one of this videos before (forgot what about. Maybe exhaust stuff) and somebody had said “he has that awkward look. He looks like he could pass of as a 16 year old and could very well pass as a 60 year old which is scary”
Hehe there is much importance with every install besides air in my tires is very important how else do I know when to change it rather than when my light comes on every 5 seconds I need chrisfix😂
Yeah, that engineer explained it pretty well, I learned it in physics in school, that's why I always change all the air on my tyres completely every 6 months. Good thing Chris went over it in the video. Please share to let other people know, it would really increase their tyre life
Nether in my spot... I changed my tire for winter, they torqued it over 200 feet pound !! My girlfriend was stuck on the road with a flat. I ask them if they could torque it, they said that they didn't had a torque wrench... Just watch chrisfix and be far has you can from mechanics !
Holy crap I knew staying up until 3:32 am on a school night was worth it Edit: Didn’t expect Chris to reply I’m a huge fan and trying to learn more about cars and it is now 4:01am I don’t know what I’m doing
this is hilarious, I can't believe you got engineering explaining into it, the best part is "I'm an engineer with 75 years of experience, you can see that in my hair"
I have some big air tanks in my basement, and fill them up every summer and sell it the next year. 1 tank is about 1500$. Summer air is worth more than winterair.......
So I have essentially no car maintenance experience, but I did take four years of chemistry in college, and around the point Engineering Explained said that based on his 75 years of experience that Summer air was an ideal gas but Winter air wasn't, I was like, "would that make any difference in compressibility?" Whenever someone is encouraging me to go to a mechanic or auto supply store and ask for something I've never heard of before, I am suspicious lol. Kind of incredible the amount of time you must have put into those labels.
@@r05ejan8 Donald duck ( trump) once said , would like to moved July the 4th celebration to his b/d , by then you would say , omg , wrong day , I 've been doing it wrong ! Either dates is ok with me , 😊
I asked my mechanic. He said sure, yah. Then offered me high performance blinker fluid discounted for $50 a pound. And he has great deals on Beach front property in Colorado!!! He's awesome 😊☺️🤗
Dunkaccino25 Im in ap chem and so ik what and ideal gas is... and his explanaition seemed a bit logical especially since gases are closest to ideal at higher temps but also lower pressure... so like if this video was serious I would be questioning the ideal gas of the summer tires cause that means they need to be at lower pressure therefore having an underinflated tire especially since, I beleive, no gas is ideal.... because its ideal not necesarily like real. (also Im sorry if you dont care about what I just said)
Frank Bui I have my bachelor’s in Chem, and I see what you mean lol. PV=nRT is the ideal gas law, which is different than real gases, so he’s not entirely wrong lmao.
That is insane. Same by 2 seconds earlier. I consistently wondered when this was posted. And why he said winter air to summer air. For free change at tire store. When I pay high attention to the sign that tells everyone free tire pressure check. In the end. Almost got me. Almost.
@@chrisfix Oh yes, and of course UK air is different to US air, you must of been using air made in the USA? Of course you should never mix different air in opposing tires. UK air in one tire and US in another, it throws off the handling.
Austin Bost that’s because the water is nourishing the tires and keeping them hydrated even during the summer so that makes the tires last longer this has been basic knowledge for years my friend I’m a genius my long hair is an extension of my brain 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I used a hydrolic splitter and measured the ratio of water anti freeze winter air n sommer air! I really cant believe I went head on into a curb n I just rolled over! /LAUGHING\!! have a great summer everyone! ✌
I work in transportation, a Procurement officer asked me if I knew about this . He told me it is a thing he watched the video and I should look in to it . I watched it, I couldn’t believe they where selling this . Glad I watched till the end . You could market this and make millions I’m sure !
Just Changed my blinker fluid, thank God this video popped up, I total forgot about changing the air in my Tires to Summer air... Now I wish I bought me some good summer air during the fall...
I actually had a customer come in and ask me to take his winter air out of his tires and swap them with summer air.... Thank you for this laugh

Did you charge them?😂

Turd Ferguson yeah most likely, i had seen a comment on one of this videos before (forgot what about. Maybe exhaust stuff) and somebody had said “he has that awkward look. He looks like he could pass of as a 16 year old and could very well pass as a 60 year old which is scary”
Thanks! Now I know the importance of checking the date when watching a video on UA-cam.
Yayy! Im not the only one :D
Hehe there is much importance with every install besides air in my tires is very important how else do I know when to change it rather than when my light comes on every 5 seconds I need chrisfix😂
Yeah, that engineer explained it pretty well, I learned it in physics in school, that's why I always change all the air on my tyres completely every 6 months. Good thing Chris went over it in the video. Please share to let other people know, it would really increase their tyre life
Mechanics aren't really good where I live. I've asked them to swap my exhaust bearings and fill my tires with summer air and he called me crazy.
jtdc86 have you tried using elbow grease and replacing your blinker fluid?
Exhaust bearings are pretty straightforward and can be done with basic tools.
Nether in my spot... I changed my tire for winter, they torqued it over 200 feet pound !! My girlfriend was stuck on the road with a flat. I ask them if they could torque it, they said that they didn't had a torque wrench... Just watch chrisfix and be far has you can from mechanics !
Don't forget to check your piston return springs.
🤔 I wonder why they couldn't! Try blinker fluid and a bushing instead of a bearing maybe
Holy crap I knew staying up until 3:32 am on a school night was worth it
Edit: Didn’t expect Chris to reply I’m a huge fan and trying to learn more about cars and it is now 4:01am I don’t know what I’m doing
Awesome! Pulling an all nighter was worth it then!
Hope you don’t fall asleep in class😅😅😅
I literally emptied four wheels...and added some Spring air. My car's weight came down around 50 kegs..felt like flying a chopper
Lol
Try Hydrogen.
@@sudmaticmotors4251 Hydrogen ≠ Nitrogen.
I'll definitely remember not to believe UA-cam videos on 1st April.
I just cut some holes in the tyres, lets the air naturally circulate and saves having to change the air seasonaly.
What did you use to make the holes? I've been wanting to try this but don't want to mess it up.
@@cuisinwithkev2699 I tried this once I used my spare can opener and a 1 dolla tooth brush
Nooooooo
great idea, I ll try that tomorrow.
Bloody brilliant, sir!
dont forget to adjust your torque settings for summer or winter, due to differences in thermal expansion
Aaron Fralick while you are at it, you should ask the mechanic to replenish your blinker fluid and check your piston return springs.
@@neitherlink6612 also fix the rattle in the exhaust by replacing that old muffler bearing
I'm still trying to get my mechanic to change my blinker fluid
Me too.
me too.i'm from Sri Lanka and i had show my friend mechanic, so he believed that true.
me too, but they said my blinker doesnt have any fluid, and I am confused 🧐
@@78kurenai well your blinker has no fluid because you need to add some.
Only water cooled blinkers require fluid.
It's 2020 and the newest craze is actually _space_ air. You'll be practically floating because of how light the car feels.
:o
this is hilarious, I can't believe you got engineering explaining into it, the best part is "I'm an engineer with 75 years of experience, you can see that in my hair"
When removing the old air, I used a knife on my ex's tires
lmfaooo
Your avatar adds to the believability of this story
Nice I can see why he or she left
Lmfao
It's faster with a knife!
I have some big air tanks in my basement, and fill them up every summer and sell it the next year. 1 tank is about 1500$. Summer air is worth more than winterair.......
Me: *Doesn’t know this is a joke*
Me almost a year later: “This man has tricked me for the second time, I have been defeated”
I prefer the dark and moody autumn air, but it is really expensive and only specialized stores sell it
If you're ever in California, they sell Artisanal air at a lot of their specialty electric vehicle parts stores.
The only person that can put different labels on cans of air and sell them. Genius!!
I work at Discount Tire. I’m gonna have to ask people if they want their winter air switched out today.
If they dont know about it, just show them this video!
Pllllease do..!!!
Don't do it unless u record their responses n we can laugh it
Lmao I work at discount too I'm gonna do it for all my air checks
So I have essentially no car maintenance experience, but I did take four years of chemistry in college, and around the point Engineering Explained said that based on his 75 years of experience that Summer air was an ideal gas but Winter air wasn't, I was like, "would that make any difference in compressibility?" Whenever someone is encouraging me to go to a mechanic or auto supply store and ask for something I've never heard of before, I am suspicious lol.
Kind of incredible the amount of time you must have put into those labels.
;)
God the length Chris goes with these videos XD
Hes a great content creator

*I’ve been waiting for this video since piston springs.*
The piston spring was amazing...
Wait what? Piston springs were a joke? Just put a couple in my car and drove 500+- miles....... Do I need to remove them?
or blinker fluid.
@@leonboerkamp3090 did you use elbow grease?
My muffler bearings are getting old too
Man I was all happy you finally posted something and then I realized the date 🤦♂️😂😂
OMG I was all like wait... I've been doing it wrong all my life!!! Bloody April....There is no hope for me
@@r05ejan8 would you say that in July the 4th. ?
@@hermanchow1405 sorry. but I'm not smart enough to get your likely clever question.
@@r05ejan8 Donald duck ( trump) once said , would like to moved July the 4th celebration to his b/d , by then you would say , omg , wrong day , I 've been doing it wrong ! Either dates is ok with me , 😊
I just keep my winter wheels in the freezer, and warm summer wheels up with a torch.
@@blaaaaaaaa2017 apparently you don't know what a joke is Jesus christ
@@maverickd.t.l.9749 I know, man. Joke wasn't great. I'll do better next time:)
Your comment had me laughing hard I choked on my chocolate bar.
I asked my mechanic. He said sure, yah. Then offered me high performance blinker fluid discounted for $50 a pound. And he has great deals on Beach front property in Colorado!!! He's awesome 😊☺️🤗
Joshua Williams Lmao
“Winter air is not an ideal gas.”
-Jason, 2019
True is true!
Trust him, he’s an engineer
Dunkaccino25 Im in ap chem and so ik what and ideal gas is... and his explanaition seemed a bit logical especially since gases are closest to ideal at higher temps but also lower pressure... so like if this video was serious I would be questioning the ideal gas of the summer tires cause that means they need to be at lower pressure therefore having an underinflated tire especially since, I beleive, no gas is ideal.... because its ideal not necesarily like real. (also Im sorry if you dont care about what I just said)
Frank Bui I have my bachelor’s in Chem, and I see what you mean lol. PV=nRT is the ideal gas law, which is different than real gases, so he’s not entirely wrong lmao.

ChrisFix: Hold my Wooder. (1:30)
*Avengers theme plays*
Should of said hold my soapy water
took me 3 minutes and 36 seconds to notice what day it was
Rational Mirror took me 8 minutes and 54 seconds
Took me 2minutes
That is insane. Same by 2 seconds earlier.
I consistently wondered when this was posted. And why he said winter air to summer air. For free change at tire store. When I pay high attention to the sign that tells everyone free tire pressure check.
In the end. Almost got me. Almost.
It took me fortyteen seconds
Took me 0.00 after looking at the screen icon
I wasted 9 min of my time and believed it. 😤
hi chrisfix
Lol
Ahm you know it´s just a funny Video and not meant to make you angry.
brought to you by the makers of Blinker Fluid lol
Don't forget your blinker fluid as well, vv important

And the muffler bearings
Here in the UK, we have to use Autumn Air because of all the rain. This is not to be confused with night time and day time air of course.
Thanks for sharing! It is cool to see the different air people fill their tires with around the world!
@@chrisfix Oh yes, and of course UK air is different to US air, you must of been using air made in the USA? Of course you should never mix different air in opposing tires. UK air in one tire and US in another, it throws off the handling.
I almost replaced my air. Until I saw the date....
Very very good video.
I saw the video in my feed and was thinking “that’s not what he said on ig?” Then I remembered that I changed my muffler bearings last year 🙂
I just fill mine with water, I've actually noticed the tires last longer that way and you save money in the long run
Austin Bost that’s because the water is nourishing the tires and keeping them hydrated even during the summer so that makes the tires last longer this has been basic knowledge for years my friend I’m a genius my long hair is an extension of my brain 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@sanchopancho1918 yeah if you live anywhere up north just add 50/50 anti freeze for the bad winters
I used a hydrolic splitter and measured the ratio of water anti freeze winter air n sommer air!
I really cant believe I went head on into a curb n I just rolled over! /LAUGHING\!!
have a great summer everyone! ✌
@Austin bost it’s wasting money cause your more heavy meaning you have less mileage
@@Cantbefound not as heavy as winter air
Why do I always forget about these April fools day videos... seriously he gets me every time.
Lol same
Every. Year.
@@Garciarebuild not as slow as you're channel tho.
I work in transportation, a Procurement officer asked me if I knew about this . He told me it is a thing he watched the video and I should look in to it . I watched it, I couldn’t believe they where selling this . Glad I watched till the end . You could market this and make millions I’m sure !
I believed this until he walked into the store full of Chris fix air..
EmmCee Dee he must own a brand LMAO
I did tio
If you look carefully at the label on the shelf, he put his cans where other cans of fix-a-flat are stocked xD
I’d buy anything chris Fix brand lol
I believed him until i started thinking after he said that winter air helps the wheel dig into the snow and i was like air is not that heavy
This worked as well as greasing my rotors so my pads don't squeak.
Just Changed my blinker fluid, thank God this video popped up, I total forgot about changing the air in my Tires to Summer air... Now I wish I bought me some good summer air during the fall...
Summer air goes on clearance during the winter, vice versa. 🤷🏻♀️😆
Dont forget to check your muffler bearing while you're at it!
@@jacksonsandstrum7875 And the piston return springs. They might not be holding the proper pressure.
