I fill my tires with Helium so I can float over the LA traffic -
🛫🏖🏟🏕🏘🏘🏘🏙🌁🌉🌆🌇🌅🌃🛬
Fun fact: This wouldn't actually work. As Helium ist lighter than air it is also alot less dense so in order to fill your tire to the same pressure as with air you will need more Helium therefore making it heavier.
@@tommiller9719 nah bro I filled them with helium it worked
@@tommiller9719 That's not how it works.
@@tommiller9719 fun fact: it wouldn't work because we don't live in a pixar movie, most cars weigh like a tonne
I fill my tires with cement. They never go flat.
Helium! It makes the car lighter but top heavy.
@@johndii2194 no way! It will make your car float away and insurance doesn't cover floating away.
blipco5 never having a flat tire >>>100x gas economy 🤣
The biggest downside is the harsh ride. Speed bumps are the worst.
Merica!
1) Never reverse the polarity of the car's battery.
2) Never use fuel additives.
3) Never fill your tyres with nitrogen.
4) Never use a thicker oil for older engine
5) Never forget to change the coolant of the engine.
6) Never forget to ring that bell
thanks for saving me 7 minutes of my life
Every single one of those is okay in an OLD car, as Scotty well knows...but that Nitrogen thing is still dumb. It won't hurt anything but it's very silly. Just don't mix green and orange coolant (Prestone makes a $10 reverse flush kit, I highly recommend it) or run 20w50 in modern engines.
GDI? Better believe you need those fuel additives. Pretty regularly too. BG make some excellent products.
"Thicker" not "heavier"
According to the thumbnail, I shouldn't start my car. 😂
I thought the advice would be to never turn the ignition to the right when the engine's already on. That's harmful for the flywheel.
@@Ixionos Good advice!
It will last more that way😂
6 ) NEVER drive your car backwards all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast -- you'll get a very very sore neck!

You should never drive your car as you will wear it out
You will wear it more xd
Boy! I did not know that!
Wrong! if you had seen Scotty's video on tires you would know that if you let the car sit overtime the tires dry out and begin to crack.
Driving decreases value. It’s best to buy a car then garage it permanently
Not driving it is worse

He is cooler than my mechanic.
I put fuel additives in my tires and nitrogen in my gas tank.
What about nitrous oxide?
ARU a woman, don't forget to avoid changing the oil either new oil can do bad things to engines my bff said.
Lmfao
"Unfortunately cars are computerized"
If it was up to Scotty we would all be driving carbureted cars made by Toyota.
I think all he means with that is that computers tend to make things more complicated. Back when, if a car wouldn't start, you'd check for air, fuel or spark. Simple. These days it could be literally dozens of reasons.
Could be worse. He could, say, recommend that all solo-commuting Duhmericans do it in V8 sub-20 mpg 4x4s... like they do now. :/
No, we'd be driving EFI Toyota microtrucks
With manuals
What's wrong with that? Today's cars are in no way better than they were in 1930s. And the features which are really useful, like AC, have nothing to do with computers.
Thank you for all the time you´re putting into this! You´re awesome!
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!

REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!
You should never put eye lashes on your head lights.
Never add a fart can.
a loaded redline a day blows the carbon away
drive like an a**hole and then complain your trans and head gaskets always go
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 redlining? Whatever floats your valves.
Don't fill your tyres with nitrogen, fill them with helium instead so they weigh less and you go faster 😂
That would actually work, the difference would be too small to matter much though, and you'd probably lose pressure faster because Helium is sneaky.
then what happens on lift off ?
@@orbits2 you pray
Interesting and I suppose well thought topup.Yes, helium is lighter but will it's lightness reduce tyre weight?
In racing they do use helium. Specially bikes, it does reduce weight so I guess in theory you do go faster. Nissan gtr use helium.
Scotty Kilmer's videos Kill me, and at the time provide invaluable information.
Scotty, as a do it yourself car buff I really appreciate all the valuable information that you provide to your readers. I have learned many things for your advice and information that you provide. Keep up the good work. From Toronto Canada
This is why I have subscribed to Scotty's Channel. Great info.
4:23 to piggyback off of you Scotty, the reasons they use nitrogen in aircraft tires are to prevent oxidation of the rubber, also they say nitrogen stays in the tire longer compared to oxygen, and lastly, in the event of hot brakes, or any fires there's not a ton of pressurized air (oxygen) feeding a fire.
-Avionics Technician/ Avionic Systems Field Engineer.
Brenndon McGill - Who fills his tires with Oxygen ? In normal air there is only 21% Oxygen
@@haraldpettersen3649 70% nitrogen/ 30% oxygen.

Great advice Scotty. Your videos have really expanded my basic knowledge of cars and their maintenance.
Thank you Scotty Kilmer!!! I very much appreciate your vids.
I don't know how i found your channel but i'm thankful i did.Great show!
When i was young. Like the 1960's and 1970's and maybe the early 80's we would put lighter weight oil in the winter time and heavier weight oil in for the summer time. Now use the weight oil the vehicle calls for. You are correct, Scotty. Awesome Video!!
I started watching Scotty years ago when I had a Honda Accord and needed a lot of things fixed, nowadays that I have my Toyota Tundra I just watch him to give my man some views! Always Good info Scotty, keep it up!
I love it I’m becoming a machanic with Scotty. I bet autozone, pepboys and others might hate this man. Lol
The Celica is looking a bit unloved Scotty!
yeah she's been a little neglected recently since I'm launching 2 videos a day and working on cars, but I'm going to clean her up
It's time to retire that celica for a nice Mercedes Scotty
@@scottykilmer I used to be a die-hard Ford and Chevy man in my twenties and thirties now in my late 40s Toyota's kick butt
Celica would look nicer with some modern wheel/tire combo. ;)
Cut the Celica some slack dude- it has done 900,000 trouble free miles after all
Learned some good stuff! Thanks Scotty! 😁
Scotty, Thanks for the great information!
Wow, thank you Scotty for answering and explaining more thoroughly to my exact question I had just asked about on your channels post from yesterday.
Btw my Q was about using the recommended viscosity for your engines motor oil.
but you can do it to your friends cars
quality friend
Wow what a friend you would be 😂
Can do on ex- wife' s cars.
Or you can just get in the car and drive it like it was designed to be driven to where you need to go, and appreciate that it brought you there reliably? :/
very rare to see someone user the word "you're" incorrectly.
this guy is honest AF. love your videos!
I swear i love your channel. Great stuff!
I love the fact that he actually rings a bell at the end 😂😂
Hey Scotty, you've been 51 years experienced for a long time now 😎
You ever stop and think, he was a mechanic for 51 years and retired and just working his own and makes videos ? !.
Love your videos Scotty! Thanks!
SCOTTY... your videos are great... you feel like family... thanks for all the help!
Many cars have a main battery fuse and secondary fuses....In case you do jump it backwards the fuse will pop . Preventing you from shorting anything out.
Doesnt change the FACT that you SHOULDNT do it in reverse.
If you are using a portable jump pack chances are it wont let you even use it if the cables are reversed.due to the built in safety features With jump cables common sense applies when you are using...just pay attention. Unless you are extra SPECHUAL.
So a fuse works via current and time... At the point you are flowing enough current to blow the fuse bad things are already happening. It would take a reverse polarity diode diode circuit to prevent damage.. Not real sure why this is not there but typically it is not... So don't reverse polarity.
then give it a try and see what happens. the fuse only blows out after it got to hot and allowed power to go the wrong direction into places it never should have with to much voltage.
yeah and most battery fuse is 60 amps. while things like computer fuse is 7.5 amps, so all the little fuse might blow, and the circuits in the computer.
I always get my Bells rung

Love your videos and the little popup images are HILARIOUS!
Scotty is a beast!!!
I had a celica like scotty for 10 years with 130,000 miles on when sold and it never missed a beat it even had the origional battery still on it when sold! - was sad to see it go but I wanted the newer celica before they got too old and ive had my celica gt (UK equivalent to gts) for over 7 years now and has only needed a new battery. It's 12 years old now with 90,000 on the clock.
I want a celica for my next car - but they don't make them anymore and mine is the latest and last produced!
Love the editing, to the point, funny, honest
LOL love the presentation! Nice tips for the layman! I'm a 20 year wrench and didn't know about voltage in the coolant system! In a factory dealership, they push flushes too! Total rip off unless outlined in the maintenance schedule! Fuel additives are necessary in the salt belt because of the ethanol content in our fuel, btw.
Scotty be saving me all kinds of money. I appreciate your videos Scotty
I just got a 2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L 3 cylinder engine. Car exhaust smells like ammonia. Dealer says it's new car smell. Is this true? Ammonia is a strong smell.
Merry Christmas my friend thanks for all the advice !
Love it! Thanks Mr. Kilmer
Never heard of nitrogen air in tires before. That must of flew over my head. 😁
I agree that fuel additives shouldn't be used on new cars. Complete waste of money. On used cars, including direct injection, we've seen some good results using over-the-counter fuel system treatments like Chevron's Techron complete fuel treatment.
The prevailing theory is that these cleaners temporarily raise combustion temps and recirculate via the EGR to gently remove deposits the same way they're formed. After a couple treatments, we've seen (via boroscope) that intake valve and EGR deposits get reduced to a gummy residue. And they subsequently get removed with increased highway miles via a lean burn. Any associated codes (P0401 EGR or P0300 misfire) usually diminish as well.
It won't replace the eventual need to remove the IM or EGR to clean. But it can help manage deposits between cleanings - especially as the motor ages with increased blowby. I suspect that's why the "changing mind" and "new car" stipulations were added after filming. Great video as always!
Thanks for info Scott. Ur the best
Thanks for the information Scotty, another great video.
Green coolant in a Toyota? Wtf were you thinking Scotty?
According to the thumbnail I should never start my car
Your videos are simple but entertaining and informative.
very knowledgeable comment about aircraft tire inflation. Excellent. Thanks.
I watched this 3 years ago lol, now that I'm older I understand it a lot better tho
My car hasn’t had the coolant changed since 2012. But it tested this winter to be good down to -30. Should I keep running it? The coolant is clean and green.
Coolant comes from 'cool', you know? It's needed to cool your engine first of all. And to prevent radiator rust.
You can put watered moonshine into your car if you only drive it in -30. You won't notice a difference.
So yeah, you need to change it ASAP, it may cause your radiator to rust and your engine to overheat.
Love these videos Scotty!
Wow Scotty! Very valuable information!!!
i still think adding seafoam and some other additives help.also i never changed coolant in my 18 year old truck ever...i have added about a gallon during that time though...it is a florida truck with 105 k miles...only work or parts replaced is batteries 4 times and plugs one time... and brakes and tires...
ahhh i see, the reason you have not noticed anything wrong yet is because you have never had to use the heater. your in florida, it might be clogged up good. but i am betting you got the good old green stuff, way better then the orange dex cool.
i use heater a few times per year... if anything is clogged i have zero signs of it... truck has always run perfect... its a chevy siliverado 5.3 v 8... i change oil every 2 to 3k miles..
@@roadstar499 You sound like you're proud of wasting perfectly good oil.
i don't drive much...those 2k oil changes were only a couple and oil was in truck over 2 years...I recycle my oil at my friends shop he has a drum
I always changed the coolest when my radiators need to be replaced.
You are truly a cool guy. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge about cars on here. God bless
Really helpful! Thanks!
My dad had a 1969 GMC 2 TON Truck with a 366 Big bock and still had original anti freeze, I was scared too change it couse i thought it might couse more problems,
Only if you flush it . It might pop something but you could always drain it then add new stuff. Then you have to get the air out.
Hey Scotty have a good day man! 👍👍👍
Scotty- I had a car with after market rims on it that road heavy and hard until I put Nitro in the tires.
The pressure didn’t fluctuate as much and the performance improved.
Great video Scotty.
Right you are scotty! No nitro in the tires... I just check my tire pressure every week.. And I have a portable 12v air compressor in my vehicle. I am not paying for air!
But in buying that compressor you just paid for air
@@danithaman4610 Hmmmm! You could say that I paid for the ability to pump air for myself without additional cost... Plus I have helped people out on the road who had flats.. I would say that's a win, win! Helping your neighbor feels good!
I'm even cheaper. I use one of those foot pumps, which is fine for car tires, but quite the workout with those big ones on the wife's SUV. Don't do it hungover in July.
I have a stanley jumpstarter/air compressor it is freaking sweet
My dad lives a couple miles from a gas station with free air pumps. But instead of driving in, he bought a BIKE tire to top off his tires. Granted, it was GREAT exercise, but that was rediculous! Last year at Christmas, we got him a plug in electric air pump, boy, he sures loves that!
I think it's time to watch your rad flush video scotty
Old antifreeze becomes acidic ... ate a head gasket in an old Civic of mine. Color was fine, specific gravity was fine ... so I didn't change it, not even after several years.
Thanks, Scotty I enjoy your videos.

Awesome information keep up the good work
I used to work at a BMW dealership in southern California. They would charge $85 to fill a customer's tires with nitrogen.
At high speeds the nitrogen reduces heat build up, and the migrating rate of escape from the tires is greatly diminished.
@@stevetolman6652 Ya nobody asked okay
@@kobesn1fan24 Steve is a BMW driver that pays 85 bucks for a tire top off
JESUS
Idk if you have done one yet but can you do a video on pressurized coolant systems. Maybe a method for getting trapped air bubbles out when you flush and change your coolant?
There is usually a bleeder valve somewhere on the line.
@@tobias5944 I can get the air out of lines just fine, its the engine block/cylinder head I'm worried about. I've heard these newer cars can get large amounts of air trapped and cause hot spots in the engine and cause overheating. I know my car you can squeeze the coolant hose and hear coolant sloshing in the head. and I'm pretty sure if there were no air in there you wouldn't hear anything. My car runs around 200° f even at highway speeds in 32° weather. To exacerbate things I hit a raccoon last week and have to replace the radiator and fans this weekend and I wanna make sure it get it properly filled.
@@sinformant 200 degrees is completely normal thats ideal temperature
