Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

What's up guys? Hey, we have a 2013 Cadillac SRX we're going to be working on. If you need parts for your vehicle, check out 1AAuto.com. We're going to pop the hood. To pop the hood there is a right next to the kick panel. Right here, there's a little lever where the hood, just pull that lever.

To release the safety, there's a little lever right here. You're going to push it towards the driver side and lift it up. So to check the coolant, the cap is right here. There is a coolant level indicator on the front of this bottle, but you can't see it because of the battery location.

The level is right around where this split is. You do not want to open this cap when the vehicle is hot. You want to make sure the vehicle is cool. You can pull this cap off. You can top off, it may be easier to see inside there to see where the level is at. You can top off with the appropriate coolant. You can reinstall the cap till it locks in place.

Why you Should Replace Not Restore Headlights

See why replacing your cloudy headlights with new ones is always better than refinishing them Why should you replace your headlights and not clean or refinish them? Three reasons: It's a simple fix, it increases visibility, and it enhances the overall look of your vehicle. Headlights are made from a polycarbonate plastic that can be damaged by UV rays from the sun or suffer pitting caused by road debris light salt and rocks. If you look closely at an old set of headlights, you'll see that the lens is full of micro-cracks. This is called crazing. This crazing, along with pinning, will turn your headlights from crystal clear to hazy yellow and it cuts the output in half, making it very difficult to see at night. It also makes your car look old and dated. With parts from 1AAuto.com and our how-to videos, you can make your vehicle look new and stay safe on the road.
