    On ANY vehicle you buy new or used, check those battery connections. If it's used clean them, do what you need to keep power to the car but clean the terminals and the connectors, replace them and then either BUY spray on protectant or get some vaseline, put it in a metal cup and heat it on the stove, with a torch, whatever till it's liquid and pour it over the connections. Especially on motorcycles where usually it's burried under the seat or in a closed battery box and you might not see the corrosion starting. It won't corrode at all then.

    If you have an evap code you can't get rid of and it's inspection time, fill the tank and then reset the codes. Then drive it around for a day or two. Keep the tank near full, it has to stay over 85% full. The other monitors will complete and evap will be the only one to show as not ready, and the light will be off. Then get it inspected. almost all inspections allow one monitor to be not ready.

    I bought a brand new battery for my 2011 honda crv lx from the dealership, brought it home, installed it, and once I pulled the cover off to inspect for the distilled water, it was only 1/3 left. I called the dealership and let them know to check all of the batteries before they sell them to the customers. Lesson, never simply install the battery, if it is not totally sealed and it has distilled water, always inspect it and top it off. My new battery would have probably died in less than a week had I not topped of the distilled water. Does this only happen to the brand new batteries? Far from it, many times consumers will hurry to replace the battery when the car will not start and take them back failing to check for distilled water. Even auto shops do not check them when they take or test the batteries. They need to be periodically checked and topped of with the distilled water. Especially in the warmer area they evaporate faster. YKM

    @@seanwestervelt7503 Yup. My main point was that Castrol only bought processed oil from Pennzoil and added their "patented additive" to it, until 2002 when British Petroleum purchased Castrol. To which, I don't use Castrol. Shell plc (Royal Dutch Petroleum) acquired Pennzoil-Quaker State company, also in 2002, to market its products as two separate motor oil brands (same process), Pennzoil and Quaker State (Pennsylvania is the "Quaker State" founded by the religious sect, "The Quakers"). Yet, both products are refined into motor oil and are the same. Back in the late 80s and through the 90s Shell was known as dirty gas that created sludge in carburetors in cars. Many tests were done when lead was taken out of gasoline on major petroleum brands. Now we've got the ethenol problem to deal with on the fuel system and newer fuel deliveries in vehicles. Whereas, British Petroleum bought Bermah-Castrol because of their additive. Castrol never has and never sid use their own oil, they just added their patented additive, whatever that is, to oil they purchased from Pennzoil. They both, Pennzoil/Shell & Castrol/BP are literally divided by a fenced property right next door to each other.

    During the edit, when the dull stuff got cut out, I’m guessing the battery terminal scrubbing got scrubbed. Before the edit that red vanity cap was on the connector, and the connector looked very lackluster. After the edit the red cap was off and the connector looked nice and shiny. I’m guessing a mention of cleaning the battery connector got chopped out in the edit, also. Or it was never in the script in the first place, one or the other.

I purchased one for $100 and installed it myself. At 185k (mostly highway), I gave the car to my son. He drive it for a year, put on 20k, and then traded it for an Accord. It still had the original clutch (205k miles), and never burned any oil. I used Mobil1 and changed it every 5k. It was one of the best cars I ever owned.

    Hey Thanks I love your work, in the end basically just good practical advice with a good dab of experience. May I suggest something. For years (20?) when changing batteries we clean terminals and then give the posts and connectors a quick coating of “Fluidfilm” this is a Lanolin based spray that lubes but never, I mean never drys out or cracks up. The end result is you do not get any corrosion on battery terminals period! I’m talking 5-7, years life of the battery time frames. The terminal will dust over and just remain like that for ever period! I’m thinking that it may well extend the life of a well maintained battery also. As the saying goes “Try it you’ll like it”

    I actually liked the emission testing in TN. Yeah, it was a pain when you failed and either had to get it fixed or go to a mechanic that would tune your car so that it would pass and then put it back the way it was when you were done, but there are good things about it besides reducing pollution, which I'm all for. It was really useful when you were buying a used car and using a service like Carfax. You not only knew that it passed emission testing the previous year, but it also helped you verify that the mileage was correct. I feel like now that we don't have that paper trail, used car buying will be riskier.

    I had the same car (2009 - standard transmission) that started using oil. I replaced the PVC valve with OE valve that reduce the oil usage to about a quart every 7,500 miles. Unfortunately the axle got loose in the transmission. I had to junk at 212,000 miles after the front wheel came off driving into a parking lot. Overall good car with original engine, transmission, clutch and alternator. Most expense repair was replacing the starter ($725). Mechanic indicated that he could have the replace the loose axle ($630), but it was 50/50 whether that would fixed the problem. The inside transmission might be broken? I probably should have had the transmission oil drained to see if there were any metal shavings inside?

    Burning a qt of oil every 1000 miles? I bet that's fun to follow down the road. There is no difference in oils with the same viscosity and API rating. I had a customer who complained that his truck burned oil after I did the oil change. Ford required 10W30 and it turned out he had been using 40W tractor oil in it. Surprise surprise. Using an extremely heavy viscosity oil did in fact slow down it's burn rate but that's because the engine was worn slam out to begin with.

    I have a 2017 Nissan Rogue with CVT and love it. I got scared after I read all of the horror stories on them and Nissan did settle a class action lawsuit on them, but I think as long as you treat them gently and change the transmission fluid every 20-30k miles, they can do fine. They even simulate the gears shifting now for those people that didn't like the "motorboat" sound they used to make.

    CVT is more efficient than a=Auto, which translates to saving money on fuel. I have manuals trans, aust trans and now my ist CVT. I like the CVTs smoothness & even in echo mode, it gains overall acceleration over full automatics. However I agree about all electronic crap in modern cars. Electricals is the most unreliable componant in cars. Why then have we put electronics between the driver and the mechanical operation of the car? why is the handbrake a switch & actuator instead of a mechanical linkage? I really hate that, its a recipe increased failures & frequent expensive repairs....... Back in the 70s, I did all of my own servicing & repairs. Now I can do nothing at all even if I wanted too or had too for ecconomic reasons. Seems to me, technology should serve us not us serve it.

    I just had a faulty battery and I drove with it for a couple months. Probably had to jump start it with my jumper like 20 times at least. Eventually right before I replaced it the fuel gauge started giving wrong readings. Got a new battery now and it's slowly getting more accurate by the day but it's still a little wonky. It's kind of Lucky though the way it turned out is empty is at about the empty Mark now. Instead of 70 or 80 miles Beyond it which it used to be.

    @@adamxenon829 Lol, I forgot exactly what I meant because I don't remember the reference in the video. I probably meant to say it would reduce the burning by 50% - but, that may be wrong, as there is a possibility the seals are sludged, and Pennzoil could clean that sludge and "find" a leak. Basically, as seals age they deteriorate, and sludge can prevent leaks, so if you clean the sludge, it can "seem" like you are burning more oil, but it actually is just seaping out of old seals. This is why high mileage oil formulas use seal swellers to rejuvenate and expand old seals... For the sake of full disclosure, basically any API certified oil changed at 3k to 5k miles is perfectly adequate for most average people. The differences between brands comes down to base oil utilized and additive packages utilized. Pennzoil GTL base stock is classified as group 3, but performs as well as group 4 PAO under extreme temps. It is also a much better *cleaning* oil than any other brand at the same price. That being said, Pennzoil's sister brand Quaker State (both being Shell owned), is rated as having the best performing film strength in 540RAT's testing, more specifically, the API SP full synthetic Dexos 1 Gen 2 version of Quaker State 5w-30. The Gen 3 version still performed very well, but sacrificed a small amount of film strength for a cleaner additive package to meet the newest Dexos spec. When choosing an oil it all comes down to use case. If you drive like a grandma in a normal non-performance vehicle, Walmart's Supertech oil is perfectly acceptable as it is API certified. But if you want cleaning for sludge, Pennzoil's top tier Ultra Platinum is best. If you drive a non-performance vehicle with your foot to the floor, Quaker State API SP is the better choice, specifically the 5w-30. If you drive an actual performance vehicle like a Shelby GT-500, it's best to use the more expensive stuff in a 5w-50 to 15w-50 flavor. Motorcraft would be the bare minimum, but Royal Purple XPS, Motul, Amsoil SS, etc. provide extra additives beyond what qualifies for an API rating, if you intend to race/track your vehicle. I just put the cheapest Shell made 5w-30 in my truck, whichever I can find a better deal on, Pennzoil or Quaker State. But that's just habit. I wouldn't bat an eye if I put another brand in just because. API certification is all that matters for normal vehicles. They're all mandated to a certain level under that qualification. Just make sure you don't use the super off-brand stuff you see at the janky Habibi-Mart gas stations that don't have API certs.
