Everything Automotive Explained!
Steve hosts and produces a show explaining how parts of cars work, how they interact with each other, and interesting things to know from the automotive world.
Cars Simplified produces a diverse range of automotive content, sometimes repairing cars, other times explaining how car parts work, and sometimes even getting into automotive history.
"I really enjoy taking apart complicated auto parts and explaining what's inside them. Even when I know how they work, I still come across designs and features I don't expect, so even I get to learn something when making those videos!" - Steve, host of Cars Simplified
If you have any suggestions for topics to cover, repairs to make, upgrades to apply, or parts to take apart, feel free to suggest it! We are always looking for content that people want to see!

I have had problems with 2 GM suvs overheating on Dexcool....mechanic recommended a green conventional and the engine ran cooler never going above half way in 110 temp 8 hour drive...Dexcool is a problem for 2007 GM engines both ran hotter with Dexcool...
Thank you! Excellent demonstration, and what a great tip!
Great video bro I’ve been debating with myself on whether to use 87 in my sxt challenger or just continue to use 93 like when I was in my Cadillac ats thanks for the help!!! Ima just start using 87!! Much cheaper too😮💨
Any tips for why my car instantly blows the 10Amp interior lighting fuse? The BCM harness is fine with no signs of wear. The trunk light seems fine and the fuse still blew woth
Was very helpful today registering new vehicle. They said they couldn't use VIN records from paperwork, glass etching, or decals, and I didn't already know where this one was located. Thanks!
Thats why i looked it up,thx good vidio
Is it possible for the box to be bad where the relay goes into? My low beams aren’t working I pulled the relay tested relay it works. Put needle nose to the contacts and no spark I did same w high beams and they turned on and sparked
Or, just throw away the cap. Water evaporates......
you fucking business??? gtfo.
Thanks for making an awesome video on this! I installed the filter correctly with the airflow pointing down (as directed for my car). When installing, it seemed that it fit better with the mesh being vertical, rather than horizontal. Does it matter which way the filter is facing (horizontal/vertical), as long as the airflow direction is correct? The reason I bring this up is that I bought a cabin filter from a third party, not an OEM version and the one I received seems to fit better with the mesh pointing vertically (from the cabin filter door opening). Thanks in advance!
Thanks, I went to a shop and they installed it arrows facing up and the blower is at the bottom. I even used the plastic wrapper the filter came in to determine flow. It sucked air in from the bottom. Can't even trust a shop and they also broke a piece off my glove box.
cool !
Thanks but what about under the seats, carpet and overhead material?
Thank you for this video. Please make more. You could call them Engines 101.
Hunting planetary gears.. hmmm....
Prime number gear teeth. Very important in helicopters also.
There's no way I could see if the fan is above or below where the filter space is so after removing the filter, I turned on my cell phone to record video and stuck it into the space. Now I can clearly see the fan is below the filter. Hope this method is useful to someone else!
Very helpful. Thanks for taking time to post this.
I am trying to figure out, from an engineering perspective, how the indirect sensor works? Here's my theory. If tire pressure is low, the tire will have to rotate faster to complete a full revolution for any given speed (because the radius, and consequently the circumferential travel, of the tire is smaller).
Talks about spin-on oil filters, shows a canister-type oil filter. Make up your mind.
I definitely would have preferred to have had the footage of the inside of a spin-on ready to go, but I made up my mind that the core of a different type of filter (that was already recorded) conveyed the idea of a metal core well enough for a few seconds of footage.
Go back to spin on, do away with this garbage.
Shouldnt matter. Dont buy shit filters. Champ is not a brand I trust have seen too many burst.
Champion makes OEM filters for Ford, Mopar, and autozone’s house brand STP. I trust Mann/ Wix. They’re better made. Along with MAHLE too
@@jhon44mat use mahle gaskets, don't have a supplier for their filters. I use anything made in Gastonia by wix, mann and Hummel, or microgard(wix house brand for O'Reilly's)
@@jhon44matbetter made than what?
@@u_s_e_rname .....than champ....what did you miss I think it's pretty obvious what brand we are talking about.
Yeah, the Champ filter I got was... Concerningly inexpensive. The walls don't feel particularly thin (I've encountered quick lube store brand filters that are definitely thinner) but it is likely going to exist just as a prop in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great video with clear instructions. Saved a trip to auto shop
Thank you, that's great to hear!
Thanks dude, I didn't understand the LED indicator circuit fully until you mentioned that the resistor added in parallel helps draw more current THROUGH the flasher unit
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you, sir!!
the radiator cap does NOT let coolant back in when its cool but as it cooled down it lets it in but NOT when its cold.
All over flow tanks are expansion tanks, but not all expansion tanks are over flow tanks.
Nice! Thank-you. Bulb type is 168. Sylvania 168 LL for Long Life or 168 ST for Silver Star
Mr cars simplified I got these connectors for my spec d tuning headlights not sure how to connect them 😭and the tutorials are confusing for a wrx 2004
Short and to the point, well done. Bonus for the outtake.
Thanks!
Please explain the performance difference between J case, M case, and PAL fuses.
Simply the best true knowledge about car batteries I ever come across in all my driving since 1980 even before the internet and I don't give complements often! I say this because I have never had less than 9 years life from a car battery, mostly 10-11 years and once 12+ years. Back in the 80s you would have to unscrew the caps of each cell and top-up with pure water then a charge, even today I always charge before winter and again at beginning of summer. My current battery is 10 and a half yrs.of age but now becoming sluggish starting sometimes. When I would mention to anyone I get 10 years I felt they thought I was at best exaggerating or lying. Even now looking up car battery life, 99% say 3-5 years 7-8 if very lucky, some of these posted by motoring organizations and workshops. Half the time I think they're confusing maker's warrantee with life expectancy. Thanks for the opportunity to have my rant. Keep up the sound advice.
this is completely retarded
You need t pins to work on cars. They're nearly free
I have a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (SUV) so wasn't looking for a performance enhancer. On a bumpy road it feels like it's jumping all over the place. Shocks and springs are good so I wasn't sure if one would help in my situation. I went ahead and bought a Megan Racing front strut bar and it fixed the issue by 90%!
The auto companies don't care about how long your engine lasts, the thin oil is ONLY for reduced drag and the insignificant increase in fuel economy.
如果我没有把head拆下来,像这样拆弹簧换seal,valve会掉下去吗? 有方法不让valve掉下去吗?
Thanks for simplifying the process!
Really good vid, thanks
I used these to fix the wires on my lawn mower. They worked great. I wouldn't have had enough room to solder and heat shrink without taking the top of the engine apart.
Dude that was the best video I've ever seen.
Question, is a 08 infinity fx 35 AWD, a interference or a non interference engine?
this may be a dumb question but.... what will happen if the bulb and the switch switched places and there was a ground in between the bulb and the fuse?
What is the voltage drop between your two resistors. In other words place your first lead after the first resistor and your second lead before the second resistor. If you measure 12 Volts, your lesson is incomplete and you have left your students with more questions then answers. You need to update this video.
This really helped me--didn't even pay attention to the blower right below the place where I had wrongly put the filter. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks!
HI - i have Chevrolet epica 2009 with 2.4 6 cylinders engine - i remove the old engine and install new Toyota Camry engine every thing is great but i want to know Do i have to change the RAD system from the original one ( expansion tank ) to Over flow type ? Thanks
