1996 Cadillac Seville
Hello everyone, new member, but unfortunately I've got to make my first post in the General Tech section . I recently (kind of...) purchased a 96 Seville STS. It's got 107,000 miles on it as of right now. It had 104,000 when I purchased it in late February. I drove the car for about 2 weeks, and then on March 5th (my birthday of all days...) the car stopped running. I've since taken it to a mechanic, the fuel pump was replaced. Now....
To start off, I have 0 mechanical experience. Well, I can change the oil but yeah...anyways. Grew up with my mom in a pretty urban area so it really never came up... but, I'm well aware several things need to be done to the Lac', including a coolant change and transmission fluid change as well. First things first, I need to know exactly what kind of coolant and transmission fluid to get, if the coolant needs to be mixed, so on and so forth, because the manual I've got doesn't go very in depth at all.
Secondly, I'm hoping I can find a video tutorial or something that will show me step by step how to replace these things as once again, this is my first time, but I know that if I don't learn them myself I'm going to get raped over and over by a mechanic. So, help! Please
