Always take things apart laying them out in an order thats easy to remember the order and direction they go back. And pictures, and reading a manual or article the night before doing something new to you is ALWAYS a great idea! ,Taking each job and breaking it down into individual sections as you work is a good way to not get overwhelmed. Sometimes jobs seem like way iver your head/skill level, so looking at it in small sections REALLY helps keep from getting lost!

A good tip I learned when bleeding brakes (especially on older cars) is to jack the back of the car up higher than the front. This ensures that air pockets higher up in the lines can escape through the reservoir… since I’ve started doing this my pedal has been so much more responsive after bleeding the brakes

As an Aircraft Maintenance Technician I am amazed by how well you did these maintenances, and the maintenance definition on the start of the video was really nice. There are a couple of differences between the car and the aircraft worlds, like the AC system on the helicopter I work has the compressors driven by the main gearbox by a quill and belts system, the tensioning method is very different, we have to be so sure that the correct tension is applied that we have to use a tensiometer that tells in which frequency the belt is. Following the correct torque values is also mandatory for every single bolt we fasten, very glad you spread that kind of knowledge in the video. Standard practices and following the manuals and procedures makes up a good maintenance technician. Greetings from Brazil.

I recall a good handful of fellas coming up from South America to do their AMT testing for A and or P ratings, the school only got an avionics course during my last semester. It was a school in SW Florida. But seeing you say greetings from Brazil makes me wonder. Wondering if it may have been you i saw that is, we werent allowed to speak or interact with testing applicants so I cant be sure. If so small world man.

The way you described oil weight blew my mind. Before they were all just numbers and I figured viscosity is viscosity but this makes so much more sense. Thank you 🙏

Some pro tips# Always wear plastic gloves when working with these oils and fluids. They can be like poison, going through your skin and make you sick. When bleeding brakes, start with the brake furthest from the reservoir. If you get brake fluid anywhere where it's not supposed to, spray the area with water and clean it off. Brake fluid is very acidic.

@RickOAA

Brake fluid is actually a base...still removes paint and such. Best to use alcohol or brake cleaner to dry it up.

Zach is the best thing to happen to this channel imo. They have MANY channels to compete with when it comes to automotive education but with their style, youth, and energy I know they'll succeed.

This guy is spot on, explanations are good, no nonsense and to the point. A change to a lot of bs out there..........👍👍

Very comprehensive video to learn how to do your own maintenance. You guys rock!

remember, when doing the break fluid change always start from the wheel that's most far from the break reservoir example: break reservoir is in the front on the left: start bleeding from the rear right, go to rear left, go to front right and lastly front right that way you can be sure there are no bubbles, that's how i learned it as an apprentice though

Pro Tips: Turbo and track cars generally require more frequent oil changes, because dem spiny bois are usually oil fed too. Brake fluid is a must for track cars. AT LEAST...at the beginning of every season, or when you notice reduced brake performance. Some fluids can take more heat. Very important to use the correct type of silicone based brake grease on slide pins too. Oh and LSD addatives or LSD specific oil types are a good idea, esp for clutch type diffs. Like you said, it's in the manual. Everyone should buy their Factory Service Manual (FSM) or Haynes or something. Manufacturer recommend or OEM parts for all filters and plugs is a really good idea too. Ppl fall for marketing hype, or what the keyboard warriors say on products. Just read the FSM and moderator pinned forum threads online lol.

Turbos are always oil fed. A lot of older (90s) turbo cars require thicker (15-40 or 20-50) oil because the turbo was qualified on thicker oil. If you put a newer aftermarket turbo on then chances are you can run a thinner oil as those engines were usually qualified with thinner oils on their non turbocharged varients, but frankly there wouldn't be much of an advantage to doing so beyond having a larger selection of oil brands at the parts store. As far as them needing oil changes more often that would depend on how well the car is turbo timed and how much time is spent at high boost levels where the exhaust heat can soak into the bearing housing and heat up the oil. In general a turbocharged engine could be designed and qualified to the same change interval and viscosity of a non turbocharged engine which is what you see a lot today with the grocery getter turbo engines. Think anything with a 1.6t engine.

@@turbo_brian thanks for sharing the extra info man! That's probably why I hear a lot of people run 10W40 or 50 weight even in their FC TII. I gather that a lot of track cars generally do well with 40 weight, and obviously much more frequent change intervals. Yeah manner of driving and highway vs city ratio makes a huge difference for sure. Cheers!

Can turbocharged cars run on semi synthetic oil?

@rklos11

@@surendransuppiah short answer: usually fine, but will usually break down faster, and need to be changed more often. Regular oil changes > running the most expensive oil. Long answer: It depends on the exact type of oil you choose and its additive package, your engine and mods, and how you use it. If you do do regular oil changes, that's the most important thing, and some say you can run less expensive oil, since you change it before it breaks down completely. I personally know I lose track of time and don't change often as I'd like, so I always run a synthetic, with good additives package. Check out Project Farm oil showdown KZread series if you wanna nerd out like me LOL. Generally speaking, semi-synthetic breaks down faster than a good quality synthetic. Mostly stock cars, can just follow manufacturer reccomendation. But if you drive hard often, have mods, engine that is known to run hotter...should be using synthetic, imo. If you really want to know...do an oil analysis on your dirty oil to see how badly degraded it is. With turbo cars, and diesels, oil can look black sooner after oil change, but be fine still. Examples: Rotary engines, like the 13B, that still use the oil metering pump generally run better with non-synthetic, or any oil that burns easily, because the rotors are lubricated by the engine oil. Some say you can get around this by premixing oil in gas tank, cap off the OMP, then use synthetic oil on the engine. Most WRX EJ engines need thicker synthetic oil on track days, maybe even a better oil pan, since oil pooling on high G corners is a thing with most boxer engines. My ZX2 (2L N/A Mazda engine) can run non-synthetic, but I also drive it hard, change oil less, so I use synthetic.

I'd love it if this was told when I was in school, but sadly the number of car enthusiasts decreases with each generation, making this knowledge and skills rudimentary. Most people would just pay for a maintenance check because they think that working on your car is something too hard to do or it's just "not cool" or they're too busy to do it. And newer cars simply cannot be worked on unless you have a specialized tool set and an engineer to help you.

Things you forgot to mention but are important: -You dont just crank open the filler screws on the diff as well as the gearbox to "make sure you can fill it up later". Its important to do this before draining because air can be sucked in from the filler holes so the process of draining is much easier. -While changing the brake fluid it is very important in which order you crank open each brake. You have to start at the wheel which is most farest away from the brake fluid reservoir and then coming nearer to it from wheel to wheel. In most cases the brakefluid reservoir sits in the front at the left(driving direction). Which means: 1.Rear right wheel. 2.Rear left wheel. 3.Front right wheel. 4. Front left wheel.

Some vehicles have different brake fluid flushing patterns (for reasons way above my head). For example, a 2016 Grand Caravan doesn't follow the usual pattern. So, as with anything, consult the service manual for order of operations (as well as things like torque specs).

@winebartender6653

@@pedrosarsama Usually these differences come from the ABS arrangement in the car (where the module is located with respect to the wheels and the length of lines running to and from it). Also, in many cars, the brake fluid reservoir is not large enough to hold enough fluid to fully clear the longest lines and/or you are doing this alone. I would recommend getting a pressurized pump/bleeder that attaches to the reservoir. This allows you to not have to pump the brakes and allows you to not have to constantly refill the reservoir as it's running dry. Also, remove all the old fluid from the reservoir first to save yourself some time and. Finally, if you have left over new fluid in an open container (bottle or the pump). Unless you plan on doing this again very soon, toss it (or give it to someone who will use it soon). Because it's hydroscopic, it will absorb moisture out of the air and you really don't want to put that in the lines.
