“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a check under hood fluids (oil, radiator, brakes, steering)’. I see that it's rated as a Easy repair and requires a Clean Rag or Paper Towels and a Funnel, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 03:15 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
