Can you make a video showing people how to change the oil? So MANY people assume since the cars running they don't need to do anything to it, if you educate more on it, people may start doing it more often. I'm sure you have a video that shows it, but people don't all have the same car, maybe showing a few different cars would help those that have no idea where to start 🙂 love ya Scotty!

Scotty, you can almost double your viewer traffic by doing more motor cycle vids.

I want to point out something else that helps maintain the car A/C and costs nothing. And that is, always run the A/C on your car, at least two minutes, once a week, 52 weeks a year! The proof is that in my 2002 Camry owners manual, they say the exact same thing, (and recommend running A/C for at least 30 seconds). Even in winter you should run the A/C (I do it while warming up since the car's cold anyway). Doing this circulates the refrigerant oil to keep the seals wet and lubricated. If you don't do this the internal seals will dry out, and then your A/C is going to conk out and need fixing, sooner not later.

Hey Scotty. You said the same thing that my NEW mechanic said. Spark plugs are the first thing to look at. Well that didn't happen at the Toyota dealer here in Lufkin, Tx. They told me I had an injector out and wanted $1600 for all six or 800 for the 1. I took it to another mechanic to get the injectors done cheaper, he replaced the spark plugs and all is well for over a year now. You can't even trust the Dealerships anymore! What a world we live in. Thanks for the Great videos!!! I mean you would think that a Toyota dealership would be able to find even a complicated problem. Not really. They couldn't even find a bad spark plug. And I had to wait almost a year to get it to the second mechanic because I had to save up enough money. So The Toyota dealership not only screwed up the diagnosis, they made me unable to drive my 4 runner for almost a year while I saved up money for something I did not need. Times like that make me wish I had become a lawyer :) That would have been a fun case.

Mr Kilmer, thanks for everything. I enjoyed the episode when you featured your wife's ES300 - I JUST bought an 01. 114k and incredible shape. Almost perfect. Transmission had an issue but a common one with that Aisin tran and I was sure I knew - if fluid wasn't changed, etc, it would overheat and you'd suddenly lose the ability to upshift and lose reverse, also clunking, etc. It's at my transmission guy, whov verified he shared my suspicion and that it was very fixable. Anyway, I used that knowledge to talk the seller from $3000 to $500 cash. I made a big stink that he had overfilled both transmission and engine, had not serviced the car, and had for some terrible reason only changed 2 sparkplugs. It's at the shop right now. So excited to restore it. It was largely you that taught me all of this. So thank you!!!

Great video - Fantastic advice. -What a difference between the US and the UK. Our annual MOT (safety test) would not allow any car to go through with faulty ABS and we would have to have it repaired. I'm the same as you as i spent years and years of owning cars and motorbikes without ABS so it really does not bother me. But Cadence braking is something of a mystery to 'youngsters' as they rely on ABS which does not always stop you when you want the car to stop. In the snow you find a lot of cars in ditches because ABS does not stop you as well as cadence braking while going down hill etc - So yes i agree with your comment about ABS and that it does not really matter. But fewer and fewer people have experience of cars without ABS or traction control and even motorcycles have to have ABS fitted and have done for quite a few years or they cant be sold in the UK and Europe. ...

Scotty thanks for making all these wonderful videos,you make things very simple to follow and understand.

Oil is the life blood of every engine and changing often can help it last over 300,000 miles, I have had 2 vehicles that have lasted over 310,000 miles and changing your oil every 3,000 miles is very important. The cars I had said in the manuals change oil every 5,000 miles, but the oil was way too dirty and smelled very used. So I changed mine every 3,00 miles and the oil looked good but I knew it was breaking down and needed changing. Also a good oil Filter is a must every 3,000 miles.

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

I love your historical perspective on cars and the auto industry. I bought a 2019 370Z new and am now hitting about 48k miles. The oil has been changed every 3k miles with a good filter that has filtration media that filters down to very small micron size particles. Additionally, I let the oil temp get up to a suitable level before I load the engine or rev it to higher levels. The result has been that there is no discernable oil consumption on my dipstick at the 3k mile intervals when I service it. I think that my careful and extended break-in also helped in my engine wearing it properly. Scotty is 100% right in his recommendation of good oil maintenance in prolonging the life of your engine.

I'm a professional mechanic. I have been since 2011. You are so correct. I work with a guy (who is also a mechanic) who doesn't take care of his vehicles at all. I take immaculate care of mine. Weekly washing. Fixing every single thing (even cosmetic) that breaks or wears out. I rarely have a problem. He has problems all of the time. Engine oil leaks. Transmission leaks. Flat tires all the time (I check my tire pressure once every two weeks). etc etc etc. These vehicles give you back what you put into them. I just bought a new Subaru WRX as a second (fun) car and am hoping to get a lifetime of fun out of it! I have a 1991 Toyota 4-runner that has EVERYTHING still working on it. I bought it from the original owner that took exceptional care of it. The rear window works, the moonroof, the power windows/locks. the window defroster strips, etc etc. It is a 5 speed manual 4wd with automatic locking front hubs. Yup they still work despite being "notorious for failing". They were serviced regularly by Toyota. It has 395,xxx miles on it now. It had one engine put in it at 28,000 miles by the dealer under warranty. The original owner blew a headgasket (V6 engine) going up a mountain pass in Colorado. I have a 2011 F-150 (5.0L V8 4wd) with 145,xxx miles. The only problem it has ever had was one wire broke going from the body to the driver's door module where they flex inside the rubber tube between the door and body. I have had multiple motorcycles that I have taken great care of. These older motorcycles have taken me all over the country with minimal issues. I buy a factory service manual for these and service them. I had a 2009 Kawasaki KLR and changed the oil every 1,500 miles because that is when it changed color. I kept ethanol free gas in it at all times. Never had a lick of trouble from it. I have a new 2023 Kawasaki KLR and change the oil every 2,000 miles because that is when it changes color (gets dark). I wash the bike, clean & lube the chain, correctly adjust the cam chain tensioner, and keep the tire pressure correct. I hope to also have years of service from it!

Once again telling it like it is !! THANKS SCOTT!!!!

O god I ran into this guys older videos and seeing him now makes me want to binge all his older videos

I have used several brands of seal restorer on my old vehicles and tractors all worked pretty well.

Did you use it only once leaks were found or did you use it on motors with no leaks aswell?

Does it actually make a difference? Never heard of it before but if it actually saves the seals and doesn’t affect the oil I might start using it

The key is old seals it works if they are old and shrunken. I dont think a newer engine needs it.

@@marklinnell7167 You don't want to swell a seal that's in good shape only for cracked and/or shrunken seals.

The pop up pictures are my favorite thing about Scotty’s videos.

My harbor freight jack started leaking too, used the at-205 as well worked like a charm, I found it at advanced

I'm sure he's referring to other engines but the 2az-fe has a timing chain. No cam seals. No oil pump seals you literally pull the passenger tire, take the accessories belt off, pull the crank pulley, and the front main seal is right there. Like... RIGHT there. The 2azfe is basically a big lego set. Just a little tip to anyone working on this engine. Love ya scotty. Sorry.

God Bless you !!! Good mechanic and good person.

Dude Scotty you are old school like I am!! I love watching your videos and yes obviously you have helped me sooo much!! Only problem I have is with audi q7 videos!! Not my car but my new wife’s vehicle!! I say get rid of it but I do know you know what to to for maintenance!! Diesel it is yes I know diesel gate but it’s still good but after 5000 bucks paid to fix it up, any maintenance issues will be appreciated!! Love your channel and yes I do watch it religiously!!

Thanks for the great information

Scotty talks at the equivelant of 1.5-2X the normal person. That man wastes for nothing, every word is efficient and quickly delivered.

Follow maintenance, that's the key Fix problems early on before they grow Don't drive it like you stole it Big three right there

Scotty I have learned so much from you I really appreciate all your advice and help thank you Scotty!!!

Who knew that car repair could be more entertaining and useful than all the other content on KZread. Crazy, but true. Content and comedy collide here. Imagine taking your car to Scotty. Talk ab trusting your mechanic.

I have found that on older cars if you use synthetic oil and have been using conventional, it will start to develop seal leaks.

Hard to get atp205 in Poland but I hear using an oil for high mileage engines works similarly, it has detergents and also conditions the seals.

Most high mileage oils just have more zinc in them and other additives to smooth out cracks and pits to help it idle and run better. Doesn't do much to the seals

Your tips are incredible and I really wish you were over here in the UK, Scotty. I would be paying you for maintenance lessons. Thank you 😊

That is a great point - it's not just about the money, knowing that every step is done right is worth more, especially when some mechanics/dealerships can't be trusted.

Alternative to adding AT-205 to engine oil as a quick fix for leaks. Start using a "high mileage oil". They have different additives than regular oil that are intended to condition old or lightly worn seals, in the short term. But at the end of the day, a bad seal will need to be replaced.

By the time the vehicle finally arrives at the mechanic for an oil leak issue, it definitely needs to be replaced.

@@user-ie3kk9oq1p I think most high mileage oil recommends 75k or higher. For plugs, refer to your manual or look online to see what it comes with from the factory. Even if you have iridium plugs from the factory, at 100k I would be changing them.
