I am a mechanic also and Scotty is an absolute Master at 2 things - 1) Explaining things and 2) Convincing people that he totally understands something even if he doesn't. Here is the thing: from reading these comments, I see that what Scotty should be saying is that OVER idling is a bad thing and in my opinion general idling is totally fine. This whole conversation started with him explaining why an engine with low mileage is all sludged up and the actual reason for sludge comes from when people repeatedly jump in a vehicle and don't even let it warm up and then hardly drive it and shut if off again. That is really bad to do to an engine, because it never warms the engine up to PROPER OPERATING TEMPERATURE to heat the oil up to the temperature that it is formulated to work correctly at . It messes with the chemical properties of the engine oil and the oil turns to sludge. Hence the sludge actually comes from NOT ENOUGH WARM UP TIME BEFORE OPERATING THE ENGINE. THUS idling is very very important when you start a cold engine. If you want to take care of your vehicle and it's engine then LET IT IDLE to warm up the engine and the engine oil before you operate the vehicle.

Companies who have fleet vehicles that idle a lot (e.g. to power the 2-way radio to maintain *necessary* *communications* ), often are also driven ~6000 miles per month and they *at least* get the engine oil and oil filter changed (in addition to all other required maintenance, brakes, tires, etc.) every 6000 mile, WHICH ENDS UP BEING ONCE A MONTH. 😉 ps.

I owned a Hyundai that idled a lot (I used it as a work vehicle) and yeah, the engine was starting to go bad at 99,000 miles when I sold it

My buddies step daughter used to let her car idle for hours in fact one day I went to visit my friend and her car was sitting out front idling. When I went inside I asked how long she'd been there she replied oh about an hour or so. I told her that it's not a diesel engine, and long hours of idle is no good the electric fans are going to have a hard time keeping the engine cool not to mention the fuel she's expending for nothing, and It could cause harm to her engine. My friend which has a mechanical background told her to go and turn it off and that I was correct that allowing the engine to idle is no good. About two months later she was in a grocery store shopping. Over their PA system there was an announcement that there was a car on fire in the parking lot. It was her car, it was a total lose a 5000 dollar car up in smoke because she let the car idle.

Scotty... your mechanic wisdom is so refreshing. There's so many young men with no mechanical knowledge that gain so much from your channel. Don't stop!

I was taught as a journeyman mechanic, to turn the key to run, and let the computer fully load. Then start, and let idle until up to kick down, before driving. If cold enough, idle to operating temp. But, it gets below -40° here, in the winter. But, idling for 6+ hours seems excessive, unless stranded in snow. But, we keep blankets in all our vehicals too.

My medium duty trucks (2.5 tons) have hand throttles so if you are sitting and idling, warming up the engine, you can set the throttle up for 1800 rpm, about double idle speed. This warms up the engine faster, keeps coolant flowing better and keeps the oil temperature hotter which burns off the moisture inside the engine.

That's why l change my diesel engine oil every 3000 mls because we do a lot of.short journeys diesels take longer to warm up than the gasoline engine . Low engine temps causes corrosion in the cylinders that's including gasoline engines.long journeys with normal driving is the best for diesel vechicles, keeps the systems clean, bus engines suffer on buses that do a lot if town mileage, l worked for a bus company 30 yrs ago, the buses which were on long journeys kept the engines on top power and the oils kept a lot cleaner.

Yeah I said the same about my 240sx. I sat in it for over 8 hours a few times.

I can attest that CR-Vs are good safe cars. I have rear-ended, on two separate occasions, two CR-Vs and totaled the vehicle I was driving... virtually no damage to either CR-V. Neither of them filed claims against me either, so that was great.

people idle a lot in Canada's cold winters to keep their cars warm inside, some even go shopping and leave the car running, especially diesel trucks. The old cars wore out this way before 100 000 miles.

The high heat spray paint for tailpipes says you have to idle for 20 mins then turn off then idle then turn off then drive normally for the paint to work you have to because it's a heat treated ceramic paint.

Hey Scotty, I observed improved gas mileage with Liqui Moly's product Ceratec. It's an orange colored friction reducing compound and I experienced at least 1.5 to 2Km per litre better gas mileage as compared to running stock engine oil. Also, the engine sounds much quieter and idles way smoother with this stuff inside. Just wanted to put it out there.

that a extremly good improvement

Yes Scotty! Toyota! I love my Tundra Crewmax 👏 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍

3:06 Here in Lithuania we use Liqui Moly oils all the time. All thair products (at least ones we get) are made in Germany and are excellent quality. Other big brands like Castrol are high quality as well, but they ususaly come from factories in Poland. It is mostly the same oil (I guess), but many people here prefer stuff made in Germany. Since my mechanic friend recommended it, I have used Liqui Moly oil in my car as long as I own on (6 years by now) and never had any problems with it.

molybdenum grease is also great stuff.

I'd love to see the shape engines are in the trucks here in Norther Canada. I hear about 5 idling every night in my neighborhood for hours once winter comes. By hours I mean once they come home from work until they wake up at 5/6am to go back to work and probably let it idle onsite lol.

Good to see scotty quoting Ford Boss

same thing with a semi truck that has DPF filters & Regeneration the more u IDLE the more u have to do a regen to clean out the filter some times it will let u do a regen while driving at 65mph some times it will force u to do a parked regen

Scotty is the Chuck Norris of the car world

You could probably go 2 months depending on how much time you spend in logjammed traffic.

@@gordonlawrence1448 im putting on about 3000 miles a month and with the high miles I just change it once a month. I have a good friend who own an auto parts store. I like to buy 55 gal of oil..It saves me $.

I’m truck driver so idling a Diesel engine and car engine is 2 different things I support idling for engines older that’s needs to prime up before running ⛽️

I live in Colorado and it gets quite cold during the winter therefore, I warm it up. Yes it’s idle time but I change the oil early so idk where it stands lol

Same here, I idle until it drops to operating RPMs. 98 F150 4.6, starts at about 1800 to 2k then levels at 700 to 800rpm. The wife learned last year to break her wiper blades free from ice instead of just whipping the knob on, tore the blade clean off but didnt scratch the glass. 28" ford focus wiper blade=$40 Learning to let the car defrost first=priceless

I don't have much choice, I work out of my truck sometimes 10-12 hours a day, it gets started in the morning and does not turn of until the evening and about half of those hours are idle time.
