Disc brake rotors are the spinning metal discs the brake pads press on. If they get worn or damaged, braking can feel shaky and repairs get more expensive.
Mileage is how many miles your car has been driven. The takeaway is that service shouldn’t be based on miles alone—some things need attention because time passes or parts age.
This is a service that removes the old refrigerant from your car’s AC and adds the right amount back in. It’s usually done when the AC isn’t cooling well anymore.
The 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser is a tough, off-road SUV. The point here is that its AC system needs a refrigerant service, which helps it blow cold air again.
That “service light” is the car’s way of saying something needs checking. If it’s been on for a long time, it usually means the problem is already recognized, and it may not warn you again if it gets worse.
“Evac the system” means the shop pulls the old AC refrigerant out before adding new. It helps make sure the repair is done correctly and the system is ready to be recharged.
The “dye” is added to the AC so a technician can find where it’s leaking. With the right inspection light, it makes the leak location much easier to spot.
“Root cause” means figuring out the real reason the AC is acting up, not just fixing what you notice first. For AC, that often means finding the leak or the part that failed.
They’re saying don’t keep using the AC if it’s already having problems and you suspect a leak or failure. Waiting can make the damage worse and the repair more expensive.
The radiator helps keep the engine from overheating by dumping heat. When it’s running too hot, it can also make the AC struggle because the AC condenser relies on similar cooling airflow.
The condenser is the part of the AC that dumps heat outside. If it gets clogged with debris, the AC can’t get rid of heat well, so cooling gets worse and the engine has to work harder.
The speaker’s point is that an A/C system isn’t truly “maintenance free.” Over time, components can degrade or lose efficiency, so periodic attention to the cooling/A/C system is needed to keep it working through hot seasons.
Your car’s AC system is what actually cools the air inside the cabin. If you ignore warning signs or don’t maintain it, it can stop working well and repairs can get costly.
Your cabin air filter helps keep the air inside the car clean. If it’s clogged, the fan has to push air through a blockage, so the airflow gets weaker and the fan can wear out faster.
The blower motor is the fan that pushes air through the vents. If it’s struggling because airflow is blocked, it can burn out sooner and your AC or heat won’t blow as strongly.
“Max AC” means the AC is working at full blast. That extra effort can make the engine work harder, which can increase heat and slightly reduce how much power you feel.
Horsepower is how much power the engine can produce. When the AC is working hard, it takes some of that engine power to run the compressor, so the car may feel a bit less powerful.
The 1999 Honda Civic DX is a small Honda with a modest engine. The host says that when you’re climbing a hill, turning off the AC for a short time helps the car pull harder, then you turn it back on after you crest the hill.
Your cooling system keeps the engine from getting too hot. The host is saying that turning off the AC when you’re working hard (like climbing) can reduce the chance of the engine getting overheated.

top right hand corner of the homepage and what you'll find there no you won't find a breakfast
sandwich there I've looked not there you'll find our YouTube channel Facebook Instagram
Stevensvilleontheweb.ca where we're posted as experts and post articles and reels and bloopers
all that stuff is on Facebook Instagram and Stevensvilleontheweb.ca which is a website our
videographer Stephanie aka Skippy put together to create a communal website so between the
businesses and the people connecting them together in community and it's a really cool website you
got to check that out so that you can find out what you're missing in Stevensville Ontario
Canada my pops has lived there almost 40 years now my mom passed in 2022 they were still both
working and traveling from Stevensville to Burlington Oakville every day Monday through
Friday crazy crazy what we do well we've got a lot to get through this morning again I hope you
had a fantastic outstanding weekend the weather kind of held together for us for the most part
I mean we did get blasted here on the south shores of Fort Erie the Niagara region Saturday it was
like came in from nowhere and a rain in the wind made the rain come down sideways so what are we
going to be talking about this morning well we're going to get our morning swiggy in so if you don't
know what that is get your morning beverage ready we share a sip together all right and we've got
the daily weather coming up so hang in there all kinds of information to share with you and today's
topic is AC is easy that's right I got five things for you to learn this morning for vehicle
air conditioning and I will probably get into further detail tomorrow morning because now the
warmth is coming and today's I believe is going to be another warm one so hang in there we'll get
that weather forecast up for you in just a few moments you'll find everything on our YouTube
channel when it comes to learning those five things all the time what it is where it is how
you broke it and how you can prevent that from happening and costing you money the next time if
that's of interest to you that's what you will learn on our YouTube channel yesterday we got into
another three or four we had five videos listed to shoot yesterday we got through three we had a
little uh Monday morning something going on yesterday just couldn't get our poop together
but it took a take three to get just the first video done which showing you how to install
brake pads disc brake rotors and ginormous calipers if you don't know what that is you'll
have to watch the video there's all kinds of videos up there teaching you all the basics
of vehicle ownership no matter what age group you are the videos are simplistic so that you can
get a grasp on the big picture and being if the vehicle is in you're in charge of
your vehicle then you're in charge of vehicle maintenance and the whole idea is not to let
everything slide away from your fingertips and then end up with a ginormous repair bill because
that can very easily be avoided so if that's something that is of interest to you number one
learning how to keep your vehicle long term so giving that engine that transmission and all
the other components as much life as possible for as long as possible mileage doesn't matter
maintenance does that's my new motto from here on in mileage doesn't matter maintenance matters
so hang in there many times i've seen over the years being four and a half decades in the automotive
service industry as a tech you know ignoring the small things and letting it grow into the big
hairy thing that's when you get a ginormous repair bill so if you like to save time money
and a few bloody knuckles and keep your car long term you are parked in the right position right
now exactly so hang in there with me the temperatures are rising and tapering off and averaging out
will soon be able to run that my 30 day fuel savings challenge which will put a minimum of
$100 back in your bank account each month so if you have a number of vehicles in the household
if everyone participates and does it correctly you can all save $100 and if you do the second part
of the fuel savings challenge you could possibly very easily make that $200 a month now are you
excited i would be if i lose a nickel in the driveway i'm going to trip you getting to it
if you know what i'm saying it's not that it's easy come easy go it does it does tend to go
much faster much easier than it is to make it right and it's not what you make
it's what you get to keep is what matters all right let's jump in this morning and let's kick
off with our morning swiggy say thank you to one of our program partners this morning the guys the
fellows that can help you navigate through whatever financial situation you're going through

stewing around about your finances and getting information from those who can't help you you
don't go to a plumber to fix your car or open heart surgery yeah you don't go to a plumber to
have that done you want to go to those who can help you and tony and larry are there to help you
and to navigate you through things that can be overwhelming so thank you to tony mealy larry
teacher all my brothers from other mothers and my own personal financial planners i've known these
guys for over 20 years so when i'm talking i'm talking from experience from what i have experienced
and i'll tell you i've gone through some pretty dark times in my life financially uh not by choice
but spun into an orbit that it seemed like forever to get out of and you can you too can do it
you can do it so let's have our morning swiggy i bought you a little time there you got that
organized whatever your morning beverage is i have my herbals to kick off the motor and get
things running and then i have coffee after the program on on uh monday through saturday don't
forget we have fun friday coming up i need your questions in by noon on friday so i can select three
questions to unpack for saturday mornings one hour q and a questions and answers so help me out by
doing that and we've had some amazing questions coming in so far so remember the only dumbest
question is the one that never gets asked so don't be shy email me at motormouth dot jenkins
at gmail dot com if you miss all that then read the description boxes for the podcast and for the
youtube channel and just a reminder what you watch and see and learn on the youtube channel
isn't a repeat here and what i talk about here is not over there on the youtube channel so

don't miss anything and follow us follow us on there and uh now uh in the car connection workshop
we now posted a page on the buy me a coffee because uh skippy told me i better do that it
would be a good idea uh supplies for getting low uh so we have that all set up buy me a coffee
forward slash motor mouth nile and whatever you can give is a blessing so thank you so much you
ready 321 it's really actually really strong this morning i don't know what happened
there wow it might be the ginger i'm thinking that's for sure
how many of you know that the only actor left from gilligan's island is ginger
tina louise i think is her name she's still alive the rest they're all gone it's amazing how what
happens with time all right weekend weather no we're not in the weekend this is the work week
today is monday tuesday what do we got going on well i see a yellow heat warning so less
this could be good let's get into it yellow heat warning for the niger region heat these conditions
started around uh 10 to 5 this morning believe it or not and it looks like let's go over to uh
let's just scoot over to another area here and get a complete roadmap for whether today in the
niger region and the south shores of lake eerie i don't know where you are but uh tell us in in the
comments on our youtube channel or also shoot me an email let us know where you're from so okay r a i
precipitation today 0.4 of an inch 64 degrees right now partly cloudy windy
wind is making it feel cooler eight a.m six to eight a.m did you get that rainy conditions
well that's a that's a tongue twister rainy conditions from six a.m to eight a.m with mostly
cloudy conditions expected around eight a.m today's temperature range 62 degrees to 80
there we go 80 degrees it feels more like 59 to 80 degrees yesterday wow we tapped out at 85 degrees
how cool is that two days in a row in the 80s looking at the long range uh we're going to drop
back into the 60s and it looks like we're going to be consistent we may be getting into our 30
day fuel savings challenge so that's a heads up for you to prepare yourself mentally for greatness
to put a hundred dollars back in your very own bank account i'm going to be your coach
i'll guide you through it but send me an email let me know who you are where you're
going to be doing the challenge from and let's get our team players gathered together so if
a hundred dollars of fuel savings back in your bank account it gets you excited that's just step one
if you've got the guts and the glory and the victory and your heart to do phase two the next
30 days fuel savings challenge will net you out possibly another hundred dollars in savings so
imagine this close your eyes oh no you can't you're probably driving no don't do that although some
people drive better when their eyes are closed that's what i see um imagine saving 200
dollars a month that's 2400 dollars a year then add in the savings because you're also
have a vehicle that's an asset to you instead of a liability so it's paid off it's still in really
good shape and you step up your game with regards to vehicle maintenance and now you're even putting
more money back in your pocket are you excited now and i'm speaking from experience i've been doing
this for over 44 years and i'm telling you all my trade secrets on how you can do this
and it works if you do it it works and remember the do does and the did is done so thank you
to Erna Louise Grant at City Auto Sales and Leasing providing low mileage quality vehicles
at fair prices greater Toronto area's premier pre-owned auto store you can buy with confidence
there and be treated with nothing less than honesty and integrity and if they don't have the vehicle
you're looking for let Erna Louise Grant their car guys they don't bring any junk into their
dealership whatsoever and they don't sell lipstick on a pig or skunks and mink coats okay so you're
not buying somebody else's trash yeah although sometimes trash is treasure yeah i've come across
that how about you so thank you to Erna Louise Grant check in with them it's worth your while to
drive there and they have in in-house leasing and financing as well but i'll tell you what you're
gonna love it there you're absolutely gonna love it there you will have an amazing car buying experience
so thank you to Erna Louise Grant for making today's weather report available to you well let's jump
in we have five things to share with you and a short time to get there i don't want to burn
too much of your time off today but give you some things to consider uh ac that's air conditioning
is easy right well it is till it ain't and this is the thing it is not a system
that you just let it go until something breaks because that's when it gets really expensive
so step one if you love having it that is ac in your car then number two
go ahead don't fix it if it ain't broke if that's your idea of vehicle maintenance
you're way out in the rhubarb patch because that's where you get the huge humongous
hairy bodacious service bills you know the one that makes you go what you can't you can't exhale
or inhale inhale yeah you can't inhale because you can't stop exhaling what that's what happens
is when you put off vehicle maintenance it gathers up on you in the air conditioning system
you don't want to experience that and you know yesterday in the niger region headed topping
out at 85 today we're going to see an 80 uh having vehicle air conditioning and not arriving at work
looking like you were dragged through a hedge backwards um is not the greatest way to start
your day right ladies you got to be comfortable you want to be you know don't want to be sticky
smelly and sweaty and someone's going do you smell that what i don't smell anything
yeah do you smell that i don't and what is that yeah you don't want to be that
person right going is is that the time and and get away from that conversation so taking the
attitude with your vehicle air conditioning or any any maintenance area on your automobile don't fix
it if it ain't broke is not a good concept that's the one that will bury you up to your neck and
repair bills it will in a very very quick hurry is that is that good english yeah we can use that
it's good enough um and number three it doesn't apply here and now we're going to get into the why
it's like anything else the longer you let it go the more decrepit it gets then it gets to a point
where you don't have the money to fix it so now what you're going to go all summer with broken
air conditioning and i mean if we're going to be in the 80 like last summer how many of you remember
last summer in denig region it got scorching and it was really really hot and as a matter of fact
henry my uh my tractor that cuts the grass here was parked for pretty much the summer
there wasn't any grass to cut you'd have to be feeding your lawn with a fire hose down here on
the south shore lake here to get some color in your yard everybody's yard down here was crispy
yeah it wasn't friendly to walk on without shoes so the idea of don't fix it if it ain't broke is
going to break your bank account and it does not apply to air conditioning you do not want to run
your air condition until it's broken you want to have it maintained so this time of year
it's a perfect opportunity if you've not done an evac and recharge so let's say just like myself
all ac units are working they're all blowing freezing cold i have one that needs to be evac
and recharge that's on the on the 2007 um fj cruiser it's time for an evac and recharge refresh it
because what you have in the system is refrigerate you're basically driving around an automobile
with your refrigerator inside it's a refrigeration system so how many of you love having your fridge
at home would you be upset if the fridge went down this afternoon while you're at work and you
come home and everything in the fridge is warm and you may have lost a whole bunch of food
and i've had that happen it's not a fun thing now on the other side of it imagine you come out of
work and you're ready to hop into a cool car and have a cool drive home a comfortable ride home
and it stops working panic sets in now what what's this going to cost how much is this
going to cost to get it up and running that i know that's the first thing that goes through your heads
that's why many of you the question we had on saturday was my service light's been on forever
and ever amen um should i be concerned yes because if something else happens the computer
can't turn the light on twice it's already on so if things are escalating to another level
your computer can't tell you because it can't put the light on a second time it's already on
right okay so what do we do first of all if the system's working don't sit back and go
i'll wait and see how long it lasts until it breaks then i'll get it fixed that's when you're
gonna get buried alive in your vehicle's air conditioning system and don't be surprised to
be presented bill 2000 dollars or more don't be surprised because the cost of all the
air conditioning parts have gone through the stinking roof i'm looking at the pricing and i'm going
how on earth are people going to be able to afford to do that in the times that we're in
yeah money is kind of tight right now like a like a duck it's water tight it's tight
so how do you prevent that stuff from happening every 24 months every two years the system's
working there's a number of things we need to look at as air conditioning service guys
okay and that that's one of the areas that i excel in i don't know why i enjoy it so much
i did air conditioning on peter bilts and mac trucks for a long time and then automobiles
and i still do that i still have all my equipment so a maintenance is the system's tight the
temperature is good inside the vehicle everything seems to be okay evac the system take out all
the old refrigerant and we're going to put new refrigerant in and we're going to install a little
bit of dye in there as well so that if there does happen to be a leak we can get down to the root
cause very very quickly because where the dye is the leak is and if we've already put that in the
system for you then it makes it faster quicker easier for the tech to get down to where the
problem is and put together an estimate to make correction for you but leaving the system running
till it doesn't is not a good strategy because that's when you're going to get one of those big
hairy bodacious bills that you're going to you're not going to be happy and that's for sure so it
does not apply to the oh it's maintenance free and that fella i would like to take him out behind
the wood shed and give him a what for and how to because there's nothing on the face of this earth
that's created by mankind that's maintenance free not even at the dollar store not true doesn't
happen you ever notice always cost me twenty dollars more at the dollar store i don't get that
i think it's the subliminal messaging that's what i'm thinking so your air conditioning
is just like refrigeration and your home air conditioning your home heating system
needs to have maintenance because when does the furnace go out in the winter on the coldest
night of winter of course so when does your vehicle's air conditioning quit on the hottest day of the
year so if there's any areas of weakness and here's where it gets double duty if your vehicle's
cooling system's not functional and it's not maintained your vehicle's air conditioning will
overheat your engine so they work together if your cooling system's neglected well when you hit that
air conditioning button you're just going to you're going to add a whole lot of hurt through your
vehicle's cooling system they have to work together that's just the way it is yeah as my
professor would say motor mouth that's live it learn it that's just the way it is he would say
okay so you have to understand that the vehicle's cooling system i don't care what vehicle it is
it's the number one most neglected area on all automobiles why does the the cooling system
um get affected by air conditioning as soon as you turn that compressor on the pump to compress
the refrigerant and get you air conditioning get your in car refrigerator running it puts about 15 to
25 percent more stress on the engine so it pulls horsepower away from the engine and the engine
has to work harder then the cooling system has to work harder to get the engine cooled off and then
the cooling system has to work even harder to help cool down the refrigerant because if the
radiator is running too hot then your air conditioning condenser is running too hot and that
means the refrigerant's not getting the ability to cool down and if the condenser is all full of
bugs and roadkill and whatnot and we just shot a video on that on the fj cruiser i did a full ac
service on the condenser because it was all plugged up with hair and leaves and road crud
and i got it all cleaned out because it needs to be cleaned out it's a maintenance item and it's
parked right out front of your automobiles you're gonna have to watch that video on the air conditioning
system on the fj because i got the whole grill wide open for you so you can see what i'm talking about
where it is how it's affected by your driving habits and why and how it always seems to be the
number one piece of destruction in your vehicle's air conditioning system i explained all that in
the video so you can see it so instead of me trying to explain to you over the phone what a banana
tastes like if you've never had one before or even worse try to give you a haircut over the phone
doesn't work out very well so the youtube channel works great for me to show you stuff
so in that video you'll get to see where the air conditioning condenser is and what happens
to it on the roadways and why it is always the number one area of failure because if the condenser
is running too hot your compressor is running hot and it's going to blow up next guaranteed
so those two things together you're looking at about probably nowadays about $2,500
you got that just kicking around okay we're getting to number five here
it demands maintenance your cooling system your air conditioning system together if you want to
make it through the summer and have air conditioning all the way into the fall it's going to demand
maintenance so you can ignore it and not maintain take care of it and not love on it
it's not maintenance free so that fella that always says that all the time we need to you know
tell them to be quiet and go sit in the corner have a cup of coffee and stop telling people
things are maintenance free because it is absolutely never ever ever going to be true
it's maintenance free if you follow them but then you're going off the cliff and that's exactly
what happens so number five is it's going to demand maintenance from you and it's going to
demand that you know the proper operation instructions to keep your vehicle's air conditioning
system keeping you cool honey i like my air as well just just like the next gal most guys i don't
know if they love their air conditioning or not but you know what i think when you get like two
weeks of hot hazy humid weather i think they'll cave and go i gotta that's gotta get fixed right
but for ladies fellas keep their air conditioning going they don't want to get to work looking like
they were dragged through a hedge backwards it's important to them very and it's important to dinner
and you know and the rest of things in the household because if mama's not happy finish
the sentence fellas you know it if mama's not happy the world is vibrating and we might spin
off axis and then who knows what's going to happen so proper operation instructions we're
get into that tomorrow because there's a lot of things that you need to learn on that
and it's important because if you don't you will break your vehicle's air conditioning system you
will by not by neglecting it but not knowing what you don't know because what you
don't know that's why you don't have because if you knew it you knew you'd have it know it not do it
means you never knew it in the first place so i'm going to teach you how to use your vehicle's
air conditioning system properly and when you do that it reduces the opportunity for that air
conditioning system to take about 2500 to 3000 dollars out of your
pocket to keep you cool this summer so proper app operation instructions maintenance is not an option
it's a demand to keep it cooling it's no different than your home air conditioning
and heating and cooling system it is absolutely no different you have the same package in your
vehicle period when was the last time you changed the cabin air filter is your vehicle equipped
with one has anybody been paying attention to that that's another area where you can burn out the
blower motor and reduce the airflow inside the cabin of the vehicle sound familiar furnace filters
uh i think it's being sucked in by the fan on the furnace honey can you check that
it's making a funny noise yeah the filter's probably been plugged for nine months and that burns out
of furnace blower as well and overheat steve the heat exchanger and then it cracks the pipes
then you're into a new furnace you know you're in about six grand it's no big deal right
so tomorrow we'll get into the how to use your air conditioning system but for today
your cooling system and your ac system both need to be serviced to make sure they're working
properly together that your engine's not running too hot because as soon as you hit max ac you're
going to cause the engine to run hotter and pull horsepower away from the engine 15 to 25 percent
that's where we're at so you know if you're heading up a hill and you got a little four cylinder and
it's like kind of you know like the the little engine that could just shut off the air conditioning
and get to the top of the hill that's what i do in the in the uh the 1999 Honda Civic DX it has
excellent air conditioning and it's only a little 1.6 so if i'm driving along and i'm nice and cool
and i'm heading for a for a hill or a bridge i just shut off the ac compressor for a little bit
give me all the horsepower i need get me to the top and then i turn it back on so that way
that's another one of the things you got to learn give the engine a break give it at all
given it all the horsepower it can muster you're not going to melt into a slush puppy on the carpet
in your car for a few minutes while air conditioning compressors off you'll feel the surge of power
get up the hill over the bridge turn it back on that's it you just saved you know what two
things you saved overheating your cooling system overheating your air conditioning compressor and
gas money right then and there instead of making that thing struggle to get up the hill
just shut it off for a minute or two you're not going to melt
and then once you crest the hill i hit the ac button i turn it back on these are the little
things that i can teach you that save you time money and a few bloody knuckles and a lot less
stress and if you're interested in a lot less stress you are on the right channel when it
comes to owning and operating an automobile when you look at that the automobile with a different
mindset how important that piece of equipment is to your daily weekly monthly yearly schedules
and all the things that you want to to accomplish it's a pretty serious piece of equipment
in the household wouldn't you think it is it is to me because i i'm not
interested you if you're just tuning in for the first time i harp on it all the time i am sick
and tired fed up disgusted and bored with paying principal and interest on an automobile i'm done
with that i'm over and done the fj cruiser i just realized yesterday is like almost 20 years old
and you get to see it on the youtube channel you tell me if that thing's ready to put in the
recycle box and how does it stay that way i just look at it just the way i said it's a pretty
serious piece of machinery equipment required to run the household here it is a serious piece of
machinery anything that can get us down the road to accomplish the tasks that need to be done
we need to take care of it you know imagine if none of us had lawn mowers anymore because they

About this episode
AC issues aren’t something to ignore—waiting until it “ain’t” working is when costs get ugly. The hosts lay out why deferred maintenance piles up inside the system, then recommend preventive steps like an “evac and recharge,” including adding dye to find leaks. They also explain how AC increases engine stress and how a clogged condenser or cabin air filter can reduce cooling and airflow. Practical driving tips include temporarily shutting off the compressor on steep climbs.
80-degree weather is here, and the last thing you want is an air conditioning system that quits when you need it most. Today on Motormouth's Morning Drive, we're talking vehicle AC systems, how they really work, what drivers get wrong, and how simple habits can save you thousands in repairs.
Summer temperatures are climbing, and drivers everywhere are turning on their air conditioning systems for the first real test of the season. But most people don't understand how vehicle AC systems actually work - or how expensive neglect can become.
Today on the Motormouth Morning Drive, we break down 5 important things every driver should know about automotive air conditioning systems:
👉 Why everyone loves AC....until it stops cooling
👉 Why "don't fix it if it ain't broke" can become expensive
👉 Why that rule sometimes does NOT apply to refrigeration systems
👉 How vehicle air conditioning is really just mobile refrigeration
👉 Why proper maintenance and operation matter more than most drivers realize
Over the next few episodes, we'll also dive deeper into:
👍 How automotive AC systems operate
👍 Common driver mistakes
👍 Why instructions matter
👍 How to extend AC system life
👍 warning signs of trouble
👍 simple maintenance habits that prevent major repair bills
Whether you drive daily, road trip on weekends, or just want cold air when summer hits, understanding your vehicle's air conditioning system can save you money and frustration.
