Back when I was a kid, my mom told my dad the car needed a quart of oil. He said "Go ahead and get a can from the garage, and put it in." When asked where, Dad replied, "Unscrew the cap at the front of the engine, and pour it in."
So, she did. Uncapped the radiator, and poured in a quart of 10W30.
10 minutes later, Dad thought maybe he wasn't clear on his instructions, and asked Mom about it.
"Right in front, like you told me."
Dad then slowly drove the car to the service station/mechanic place, had the cooling system drained and flushed, and from then on, took care of all maintenance for the car.
Mom did learn later how to check and maintain fluids, with Dad's tutelage.
