I always had the dealer do it but here is a How-To on replacing blinker fluid.
I have always been a little reluctant to change my own blinker fluid and had the dealer do it. But here is a great How-To guide on replacing your own blinker fluid.

This also used to go along with changing out the muffler bearings.
But since all manufacturers wen to sealed muffler bearings, they no longer need to be replaced.
When the manufacturers all go to synthetic blinker fluid instead of the dino stuff, we'll never have to change it out either.
However, if you happen to own a Yugo, than both need to be changed on a regular basis.

So now that spring is here don't forget to rotate the air in your tires to warm season air. Get better mileage!

Great instructional video, Thanks! WOW, I guess I could have changed it myself. Instead I, too, dropped my vehicle off at the dealer and then off to McDonalds to get my Diet Water with Lemon.
That Diet Water sure hit the spot! Sure hope my blinkers are much quieter now.

Just take it over to Stooge McGoober or Herman Puller at the shop and he'll put a Wazooly Nut on it as long as he doesn't trip over his Fluglebinders!

Wal Mart has it on sale now. It's in the auto department on the same aisle as the left handle monkey wrenches.

Ive used this on my brother's car. What he likes about it is even in sub zero temperatures the blinker blinks at the same rate as warm weather. He doesn'r risk a ticket due to improper flashing.

I trade you that for the radiator hoses...  That was an old favorite of ours back in the mid 70's when a newbie came to work at the auto parts store.
