6th day

This day with my mentor, he wanted to show and teach me how to change the radiator fluid on the car which keeps the car from overheating. He told me that it's very similar concept to changing the motor oil on your car. Radiator fluid can also be called coolant. When performing this operation, you must have a cool engine so that when you check the radiator cap the fluid wouldn't splash all over the place and you can get burned by that hot fluid which is not a very bright idea to do. The steps of this job are 1) Start with a cold engine and open radiator cap 2) Place pan under radiator 3) At the bottom of the radiator, there is a screw that needs to be removed 4) Wait 5) When finish flushing out old fluid, pour new fluid inside. This job is very easy and whats great about it is you flush it out every 3 years. I'm so glad I learned how to do this operation on the car because I can use this in the future. 

Hours with mentor: 5 hours

Total hours: 22 hours
