The account was shared by Bo (@DadAdviceFromBo), which is packed with helpful dad tips.

Among these are videos that are meant to help drivers maintain their cars in top shape and prevent accidents.

The video is on TikTok and provides a basic yet comprehensive Car Maintenance Checklist.

Bo goes over various important safety measures that all drivers should follow.

One of them revolves around a piece of cardboard.

“Put a piece of cardboard under your engine while it’s running,” he said, demonstrating what to do in the clip.

“Just to see if you have any kind of leaks.”

While the tips he shares can be done at any moment, he makes it clear that it’s very important to go through the checklist before taking on a long trip.

The list is made up of eight basic things.

“Change your oil every three to five miles,” he said in the clip.

“Set your trip meter on your dash to keep track.”

He also suggests checking the car’s oil and battery terminals.

“Check your oil before any long trips and add if you need it,” he said.

“Check your battery terminals for corrosion and clean them up if necessary.”

Viewers were thankful for Bo’s advice, appreciating the fatherly tone of his videos.

“Thank you sooo much dad! – Love, son,” wrote a viewer.

“I showed my son your video and now he follows you to,” wrote a second person.
