I'm sure you will never see this, but someone will. As someone who spent a large portion of my 20s raising my three nieces, you are an absolute inspiration to young ladies. You went to Harvard, you are a certified badass in a men's dominated field, you live your passion, and are unapologetically yourself. You have style, a work ethic, and an abundance of beauty. Thank you for sharing your day to day story with everyone. Have a wonderful life, Faye!
I hate to break it to you, but that's not a lady.
@@Rabbelrauser You are so far beyond ignorant lol. Have a great night.
+ 1 you said it all
@@Rabbelrauser😂So,you’re saying she is a shemale?My thought she didn’t went to Harvard University that’s all.
@@Rabbelrauserwhat do you mean by that??
One of my Cousins has a 9 year old great grand daughter that she brings when she visits me.
While checking my cousin's mini vans fluids and tire pressure the little girl wanted to help. I have a trigger tire pressure gauge filler, and I showed her on the door jam the recommend pressure and how the gauge worked. She checked and filled all 4 tires, then I mentioned the spare under the back. She wiggled underneath, check the spare, said it showed zero pounds, then aired it up to 32 psi.
Whenever my cousin visits, the little girl checks & fills the tires like a pro.
Awesome!!!
my spare is 60psi
@@joelopez7459 This van, like trucks, had a conventional full size wheel/tire. Car's for many years use compact 60 psi spare tires. That's why I showed her the tire placard.
@@streetdrifter1037 It's called Car Culture and Community. People aren't meant to relate and connect with one another, you sound like a Grinch. The little girl filling up tires was an adorable story Faye might be able to relate to.
Wow, way to focus on gender boomer
I've been a mechanic forever, and never knew that these Toyota engines had block drains. Never stop learning!
Can’t they be a bitch to find and open up?
I have been a technician for 35 years and you are very good and organized young lady I really respect you as a fellow technician. You know your stuff.❤️
Thank you! 😊
She’s not that good…
Faye is one of the best CZcams mechanics on the platform. She keeps it simple with no stupid/dumb jokes.
Awww thank you ☺️🙏🏻
Are you even old enough to drive
Scotty kilmer???
I said she is "one of" not the absolute best. Of course Chrisfix and Scotty are great also. And FYI, I've been driving since 1993.
Thorough vid!👍💯🍻
So glad you told people to run the heater. Most don't know that trick. Once it's blowing really hot, you know the air is out.
I just came across you recently and I must say my retention time for your videos is 100%. Your directions are on point as well as very detailed. Thank you for your excellent work!
Wish I can be an auto mechanic. There is so much knowledge to retain. It’s amazing. I have all the respect for mechanics. Between you, Scotty Kilmer and Chris fix I learn so much.
Didn't know Amy Lee from Evanescence was a toyota fan. Nice!
🤣
👍👍👍😄 Good one.
She loves Toyotas.
@@hotwheel6663 she knows what's good.
Ya dang right 😂
Her voice is just perfect for her videos an I love her charisma.
Hey Faye, thanks for the efforts. I don’t know what I would do without your input. I like that you insist on quality and proper procedures.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!! :)
I love that you flush all your fluids instead of just drain and fill.
Glad I’m not the only one who gets hyped to do coolant flushes 😂🤙
I wish you had posted this a week earlier! I just flushed my Tacoma and got to do it 3 times because I didn't properly drain it the first 2 times. You are the first CZcams tutorial that I could find that properly demonstrates to drain from not just the radiator, but the 2 block drains as well. I couldn't figure out why I was draining only 3 quarts out of a 10 quart system.
Awww thank you!!! I've been traveling for work so haven't had time to finish editing this video, But I'm so glad you were able to see it now and thank you so much for the positive feedback!!!
Dude, I wish I had these videos years ago. I had to learn to fix my Honda through desperation because I didn't have money to get it fixed. So, I learned fluid changes, brakes, plugs, and serpentine belt. You rock
People probably overlook her due to her appearance and gender, to their own detriment.. because this tutorial is exceptional. Superb on so many levels, keep killing it Faye !
Thank you so so much!!!!
This lady is a super instructor; she is well spoken and conveys a boatload of info. Thanks for a cool video.
Thank you Faye!! Straight up no gimmicks just what I needed to know to get the job done right!
You're a great instructor, and my 2006 LX470 thanks you for it! I've watched several of your videos and have been doing a bunch of my own maintenance just for the challenge and fun. Thanks!
I enjoy your enthusiasm while working on your autos. Also, thank you for explaining how dangerous coolant can be and just like used oil, it needs to be recycled.
I can watch this girl all day there is something about her that drives me nuts
Awww thank you!!
Let me guess; Personality, killer voice, and true beauty. Right? :D
It’s the simp inside you brah, let the simp flow!
@@74nova36 I think it has to do with the fact that she chooses to be her actual goofy self instead of a person that would be accepted for being normal, but if you call him a simp it will make us think you are cool and not also a simp, 200IQ
@@shawnbybee85 why are you so worried about what I might be? Are you simping for me? 😊
Loved how simple your explanations were, as well, as your sparkling personality. Thank you, for both !!!
Your voice is perfectly suited for radio shows, podcasts, etc.
Super helpful video! I never bothered draining the block before in previous coolant drains, but this time I’m going to do it. Thank you for pointing out the location of them on the four-cylinder engines.
I dont even own a Toyota but Im hooked, watched the entire video and ready for more!
Her and scotty Kilmer would make great friends
Until they talked politics and she would start screeching
Spot on.... just shared it as you noted it...
@@Captain_Brown_Beard but then they will return the conversation to good ole Toyota reliability
just because you share the same hobby doesn't mean you will make good friends. I mean how many COD lifers are there? Do you think they get on when they play or just curse the shit out of each other and be toxic.
NO......NO.......
Wow it's truly refreshing watching and listening to a woman doing mechanics work ,and she seems to be quiet efficient and no short cuts,job well done
I appreciate that you actually compensated for the water already in the system and made the adjustment in your concentration. I've seen a lot of know-it-all youtubers not do that and just pour 50/50 in there. In my old 1st gen RAV it's super easy because the entire coolant capacity is 8 liters/ 2.11 gallons so after flushing with water, I can pour a gallon of concentrated antifreeze in directly and top off the rest with water and it'll be almost 50/50 automatically which in in the south is plenty.
Very good tutorial. I could have used it a long time ago, but I think future diy'ers will benefit from such through directions. Not everyone knows the dangers of coolant. Great video Faye!
This is a good tutorial for vehicles overdue , but if you don't want corrosion in your system occasionally suck out reservoir with a turkey baster or pump and refill.. doing this once a year and after a few years it mostly gets replaced with fresh corrosion inhibitors..
You don't want corroded radiator leaking, etc..
Mesmerizing. I’ll have to watch this again after I get over the shock. Wow.
I was going to schedule an appointment at my local service garage, but after watching your video I realized it was easy enough to do myself. I have a 2013 FJ which is similar to a Tacoma or 4-Runner. I can now save a significant amount of money doing it myself. I'm thinking the service garage probably won't be as careful doing the flush as you demonstrated in the video. Thanks for the tutorial. I've already purchased the Toyota brand coolant.
Thank you so much for your videos, Faye! Your attention to detail and clarity of videos pointing out bolts deep within the engine bay gives me the confidence to try new services like this. The consideration for proper disposal and environmental awareness is something many others skip over. Maybe consider adding a 2nd gen Xterra to your garage so we can take care of our second car too!!
I came across your video randomly when looking at how to properly do a coolant flush. I love the energy you have in your video!
Great video! I learned something with the block drain info, thank you! Quick tip for you-squeeze the upper hose then plug your funnel. When you pull the funnel it doesn’t spill that little bit. Keep up the good work!
For the win!
I hope you realize how fortunate you are to have found something you are REALLY good at. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned something at the same time. Thanks.
I've been using this funnel on all of my vehicles for decades on almost all of my vehicles. It works! It comes in a kit with different adapters for different reservoirs and radiators., but they aren't compatible with a few of them.
Instead of flushing, I drain & fill @ 30K mile intervals which keeps my coolant relatively fresh on my Honda cars & SUV's. I can remove the reservoir fill cap while leaving the radiator cap closed and drain the radiator. This pulls the coolant out of the reservoir. Then I proceed after filling the reservoir, replacing the cap and using the funnel in the radiator.
Very easy to do.
Great job again Faye! Thanks for explaining and demonstrating the proper coolant flush process. I learned quite a bit.
I've been a Toyota guy for a long time. I really enjoy your videos. 2000 Tacoma 509k, 2005 Prius 441k, 2009 Prius 417k, 2013 Corolla 274k. Plus a 2014 Camry, 2012 Tacoma, 2005 4 Runner, and 1989 Toyota. I've done a fair bit of maintenance on these vehicles. Great channel! Always learning tidbits of info.
Who wouldn’t want to listen to your excellent tutorials. So pleasant, thorough, upbeat and accurate. I wish I’d have discovered you sooner.
Love your energy, my son and niece loved this video, learning how to flush the radiator on their own cars, thank you.
Those funnels are awesome! My retired mechanic friend lent me his 2 years ago and I use it all the time! Luckily he hasn't asked for it back yet. 🤫
😂🤣he ordered a new one as soon as he lent it out
I own Audi's... And somehow I landed in the Yota aisle. I'm hooked to your personality, voice, and overall vibe. 👌
very detailed. i never knew about the block drains i just let my car run until the thermostat opened up lol. thanks for the video
Probably the best mechanic to learn from on CZcams. Super easy to understand and very engaging. Definitely a fan.
Hey Faye i gitta say, ya have a great personality and deliver the information with a beat (great editing) on a level we can all understand . Keep videos coming
Swear to god, I'd like to see her servicing my car. Makes everything so chill, easy and funny :)
You are so spot on in every tutorial video I've ever watched by You!
So many are lazy, but engine drains and oil cooler hose get the whole system empty, full distilled flush(s) keep Our Trucks 😊. Tundra was a PITA
to get to, so oil cooler hose alone is decent if all else is fairly fresh.
So appreciate ya Faye.
Faye is an awesome mech! Love the enthusiasm! I'm about to flush my gen 2 toy so decided to see how she'd do a coolant flush. What I didn't know is that she was doing it on a gen 2 toy! Search complete! Thanks Faye.
Always great content Faye! Always love watching, for me I found that if you drill 2- 1/8 s holes in your thermostat. I have never needed to burp out excessive air in the cooling system and my two old hot rods and my 94 f350 they actually run just a little cooler!
I actually drill holes in my thermostats too lol!! That's so awesome! ☺️
@@FayeHadley love your CZcams Channel, please could you do some video's on a Toyota Corolla 2006 please?
She promised us it was cleaner on the inside. I doubt it though....
Thorough, ultra-detailed how to. Very nicely done
Cheers!
Since I planned on renewing the thermostat in my 2006 Sienna , I removed it and buttoned up the housing and ran the engine for a few minutes then drained the distilled water. I repeated till it ran clear . I believe I did this three times. To remove residual water from the system I removed the heater Ts ( I renewed those as well) and attached a wet vacuum to all hoses and vacuum as much as I could out of the system. I removed almost 3/4 gallon of residual water this way. Note:There isn't a hot coolant valve in my Sienna. I refilled with the premixed 50/50 HOAT pink coolant ( from the manual).
Thank you for this! I am changing coolant in a Honda accord, but applied your methods to my car. The part to use a remote thermometer to check temps that the thermostat has opened was golden! 👊
Awesome!! So glad it helped!!!😀👍🏻
Love this channel. Great attitude and energy. Never get bored.
The 4Runners I've seen friends have with 300k+ miles on them are probably still on the original coolant. Absolute tanks! Thanks for the video I'm going todo one soon similar to yours.
Not changing the coolant can cause the head gasket to go bad
love that drain pan , with the containment lip. Never seen that before
This is the best unintentional ASMR channel I've ever came across. She's the bob ross of car mechanics! Great video! :) Keep up the great work.
Wow you did a really good job on explaining everything couldn't have said it as well my self with out making people fall asleep.. great video
I like the way she calls a petcock a draincock.. Something stimulating about it!
😂😂😂 that's what it's called in my Toyota books!!
Yeah, I was trying to catch what she was saying myself... I'm not calling it that... not happening for me.
I didnt know block drains existed. Great video. It's very thorough and covers so many important details. Thank you,!
Thank you Faye. Clearly presented with good detail. I did not know about block drains. I appreciate your uniqueness and uplifting tone. Car maintenance and repair can be frustrating and not much fun. I think what I have been missing is expert guidance from Faye and perhaps some pixie dust. Gratitude.
Yay Faye! I just purchased a 2000 Tacoma 4X4 V6 (159K orig miles) & doing some fluid upgrades. Glad I found your channel.
Great vid. Worth a mention about that funnel, if you squeeze a hose slightly and then insert the plug there will be no spill at all.
SO EPIC!!!!! I HAVE HAD THIS FUNNEL FOR 6 YEARS AND NEVER KNEW!!! What a pro tip, I'll include that in my next video, thank you!!!
Hahaha, YES! 😎
I love you Faye. You bring back Saturdays working on our stuff so we can enjoy life.
very thourough explanation and a voice i could listen to all day lol will be referring to this when my time comes on my new 2022 tacoma
not sure how stumble upon this but def gonna watch more videos
Hi Faye, top video,
One thing i always do with a coolant flush is change the thermostat, seems they fail more often these days and crack the plastic radiator tanks.
(I have had three so far this year) also thanks for showing the burp the baby exercise as it's so hard to explain in layman's terms ,
some of my customers with older cars like to do coolant and oil by themselves, scary i know but i'm always available to them for advice and take care of the aftermath.
Cheers from Australia
Faye, your talent is astonishing. you achieved a lot in your short career. hats up. much respect.
woow she is hypnotic... her voice and accent are soft... and knows mechanics.... OMG !!
That was another Excellent tutorial, straight to the point and very thorough. Thank you so much!
Thank you!
You need a helluva lot more subs than you have currently. I've used your videos for actual use a couple of times now and Im happy to have been able to not so much save money, but moreso that I think everyone feels better about themselves when they can do these things on their own.
I agree! Thank you!!
I enjoyed the tutorial.
Although, I have not done the drain on the new Toyota I bought. So, I took to CZcams to refresh my mind. I thought wow a lot of info. You are more thorough than I have ever been.
Another note. You resemble my cousin , she does not have the goth look. Your emotions and movements are spot on as my cousin.
Once again enjoyed your video.
the level of attention to detail is impressive. very satisfying to watch. thumbs up. let the OCPD shine 🤩
Thanks for including the schematics of the different engines. Really helps us noobs!
Aww you're so welcome!
Absolutely excellent, thorough description of the process. Thank you, Faye!
I watch how to car stuff all the time, how have you never popped up before!
excellent video, no stupid music, straight to the point. Thank you for taking the time to produce this, it's a big help!!
i think i just found another amazing mechanic channel, and a lovely woman in charge at that 😍
Been waiting for this video, thanks Coool girl.
Awesome, thanks so much!!!
im a 15 year old, and i wanna thank you for teaching me alot... im takin diesel classes at my highschool and stuff and im working on becoming a mechanic at a good dealership
I wasn't going to watch cause I thought it was clickbait. This chicks got it going on though. She knows what she's doing, cute af w dreads, seems sweet, and she drives Toyotas! I learned how to change my coolant and had my faith restored that the perfect woman actually does exists all in the same video! 🤯🤯🤯
Love her channel. Reminds me of someone you'd see out of a Borderlands/Rage game or similar. Great personality and very helpful. Thank you this is a no-brainer insta sub for me.
Wow, thank you!
Gets me misty-eyed and nostalgic anytime I see a 5VZ. Mine ran like a top for 250,000 miles til an inebriated person smashed into my vehicle.
😭 awwww.... that sucks dude! 303k on mine!!
That generation of the 4Runner is very reliable. I have 397k miles on mines right now. The original clutch was finally replaced back at 330k miles. The original starter lasted until about 240k and the original alternator lasted to about 260k miles. Even the original rear brake shoes lasted until 300k miles. It has never let me down. Traveled a lot around the Western Region of the US. I live in the SF Bay Area.
I’m at 180k on my 2000 4Runner Limited. Got in my divorce and plan to drive it till the wheels fall off!
I have that engine in my taco. 197k barely broken in.
I've had multiple vehicles and never understood the function of the coolant overflow tank on a Tacoma (Hilux in my country). Mine is a '05 model and has over 200K on the odometer. To this day I've never required any coolant top-ups between service intervals and have never had any coolant in the overflow tank. Our average summer temperatures are 78°F so to me that rules out 'hot' climates having any effect. Seems like an over-engineered feature to me at this point but admit that each engine differs and can behave differently, even on the same models...
PS. this is the 1st video of yours I have watched because I accidentally stumbled across it and I think it is wonderful how you bust stereotypes (I am guilty of this) in a male dominated field - your videos are on par with the top content creators out there. Keep being awesome!
Hi Faye, great thorough video, i work in a Toyota dealer and we haven't got time to do such a thorough job, quick drain and refill the radiator. Customers would never pay hours and hours at $100 an hour. Cheers Rob from England
That's what they had me do at my Toyota dealer too. Didn't seem right.
This is informative in so many ways.... Fanfreakintastic! Thank you Faye 👍🏽
Thank you!!!
Work of art young Lady ,,
really awsome to see a woman working on vehicles. and shes easy on the eyes. 🚴
Faye, keep up the good work! As a fellow mechanic, I admired how happy you were to change antifreeze. I have seen the thumbs-down and some of the criticism in the comments. I'm not going to be one of those! I only have two videos out right now. I only did it because several of my friends ask me about questions about certain type of problems and when the opportunity arose I went ahead and recorded. I'm the only mechanic here at the dealership. I don't usually have time to record. I just wanted to take a moment and say hey I see you and great job...😊😊😊
Faye you are awesome. Actually a positive person to watch and helpful
You are fantastic and very professional. Great work. Thanks for the content. 👍🏻
There was a lady mechanic at Martinsville Indiana Ford.... (Nita) she was their 6.0L diesel guru.... you guys looked totally alike! LOL she went to lunch one day, decided she had all she wanted, came back for her tools and took over a transit bus fleet...
Never seen anyone drain and fill more than once , great job Faye
It's Faye from all girls garage! Really cool, thank you Faye, awesome mechanic!!
Don't remember Faye, but remember Bogi!
Wow. Super to see! Love the personality and your knowledge is exceptional.
Ive watched quite a few other videos about changing the radiator on my 03 Tacoma and using a spill free funnel. Yours is the only one with with important mention of letting the car cool down before removing the funnel with the remaining coolant. 👍. Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm glad it helped!!!
Simply amazing lecture on the subject of V6 5VFE coolant change.
Thank you for making it really fun.
Thank you very much!
Great video Faye!!!
Thanks Danny!!!! 😃🤘🏻
You're awesome Faye!!! Always enjoy watching your DIY videos and learning something new!
Ur tutorials & work ethics are SO thorough! U ARE the best mechanic! The way I LIKE to work!
Texas may be huge...however Alaska is larger than California, Montana and Texas combined!!!
