I need some engine degreaser
Thank you Scotty
Hey Scotty. My comment is clean and non offensive. I would love to win 🤞
@@freevision6482 Oh sure if you want it to eat all the gaskets and rubber parts
@@NoNORADon911 hahahhahahhahahhaa
Suggestion for next video: "Never Clean Your Garage"
😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Scotty: "Here's why you shouldn't clean your garage:
*It's useless to clean your garage it'll be dirty all over again in a day or two. It's not like you live in it, it's the car that lives in there, not you."
Lol 😂
Never clean your house
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like having a clean engine bay. Makes it easy to spot a leak or problem and I enjoy looking at it.
W1DO just look at it
I agree. I really like Scotty. I watch all his videos. I'd say I agree with him 80% of the time. But I don't always buy what he's saying.... much as synthetic oil isn't better than conventional. And the only cars worth buying are Toyota's. Haha.
Plus a dirty engine bay has a lower cooling efficiency
Exactly same reason for me.
spot on also i’ve hung out in shops a lot and they treat cars with clean engine bays way more cautiously and more finesse then dirty engine bay cars,i’ve even seen them put protector films on the fenders on clean cars and none for dirty cars they just lean over on them and place tools all over where they can put them
I've never cleaned my bathroom in twenty years and my toilet works just fine
So clean it?
Did you get the clean bathroom insurance by getting married too?
YEAH!
LOL 😂
🤮💩
My Pops passed away and he was my go to guy for any and all Automotive questions and help. Since then you've been my go-to car guy and I legitimately cannot thank you enough!
My condolences 🙏
Condolences
Wait your turn in line. I'm still waiting on him to sign and return my adoption papers.
So sorry for your loss Tawnya, I hope any automotive questions you have are answered :)
“Never ever clean your engine!”
“Okay, here’s how to clean your engine.”
Exactly. Old age and its ramifications are catching up with Scotty.
Haven't even started the video yet and I was already thinking this.
😅
He means not to clean the entire engine. He showed how to spot clean leaks.
l was just thinking that! Like what??
Scotty: “don’t spray water on the engine”.
Scotty: *hoses down engine*
Grandpa Scotty, is your garage water cooled?
Bam!
No son, its a real mans garage you'll learn when you grow up. (I'm kiddin' there is a mess.)
Tragic. Looks like a hoarders delight.
Jajajajajajajaja
Lol
Been power washing my work car engines regularly for 20 yrs. never once a problem.
Same here. I spray degreaser and let sit for 15 min. Then, I power wash from about 3ft away, soak with Amor all and close the hood. It looks brand new and no issues.
I do it on a warm engine also.
Same here. It's just common sense to be careful around any wiring or anything electronic.
[car blows up in the background]
A warm car? 😀 Aluminum warps easily dude...
Although not required I have always preferred the look of a nice clean engine.
Plus if you keep it clean the engine will run allot cooler from all Al grease
James Burgett II i agree
James Burgett II a clean engine always has a better smell if it gets parked in a garage. Hot grease and dirt has an unpleasant odor in a closed garage. Hot metal and plastic is much less offensive to the nose
I like a clean engine bay as well
I'd rather listen to an experienced mechanic and do what he says. Not to wash my engine it is.
I have watched and learned from many of Scotty's video but this one...PUMP THE BRAKES!! He starts off by saying NEVER clean the engine then ends with why it's best to keep a clean engine. I have been working on cars for YEARS and nothing is better than working on a clean engine. I always promote washing engines because like Scotty says as well as many others here, a clean engine helps with finding leaks especially small oil, and transmission leaks. Also oil and dirt build up creates a layer that causes the engine to not cool. Yes the radiator coolant keeps the car from over heating but also air passing over the outside of the engine and tranny does as well. I have been washing engines for years and NEVER had an issue. I use the engine degreaser then high pressure spray it off, even spraying the SEALED electrical parts. I do not wait until the engine has cooled because a warm engine also help evaporate the rinse water as I drive the car off from the car wash. Every mechanic that I have encountered has said they would rather work on a clean engine rather than a dirty oily engine because a lot of time the dirt contaminates the new parts and the oils makes the nuts and bolts slip on the tools! SO CLEAN THOSE ENGINES. They run cooler and are easier to maintenance.
It just seems wrong to be spraying water on things that can rust, be infiltrated by water, or have electricity running through them. Isn't it risky?
I wash my engine bay all the time, never had a mechanical or leak problem.
Same here wash my car’s engine yearly no problem.
I agree with everything you said except for "I do not wait until the engine has cooled." You make it seem like the engine is operating temp by saying you were at a car wash. Never rinse a hot or even operating temp engine you will destroy the metal by thermal shock.
AMEN Brother 😃👍😆
me: owns a car
scotty: do not even THINK about the existence of your vehicle, here's why
XD
Hey Scotty. A clean engine always looks great. I find it also helps pin point any leaks when they come up.
Nope. Wash your engine bay. Use light pressure. Don't spray it in your air intake.
I know I'm 2 years too late
Scotty is the king of posting videos of stuff I have ALREADY done lol
So next time you need to do something wait for the video.
Fritz Colburn lol it’ll be like “Huh, I’m really happy with my Subaru purchase today” and the very next day “Why you should NEVER buy a Subaru” lol
Or keep doing them you might be his muse
...and your point is???
10-4
Nothing like a professional hoarder teaching you how to clean things up 🤣😂😅
My thoughts exactly.
🤣🤣 and somehow I trust him 100 percent lol
That`s what real mechanics do!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
HA!
Appreciate all your videos Scotty! All have been very helpful, straight forward, honest and straight to the point. Awesome!
Yes they are so straightforward which is why I like them too!
I like to keep my engine clean but yeah, I do cover the electrics with plastic bags. 💯👍👍👍
@paperchasin23 lol
There is a big difference between a car enthusiast and a mechanic: cleanliness.
Most mechanics snap on parts and never clean the surrounding areas, and a car enthusiast will spot clean with a toothbrush everything.
The car is the reflection of who you are.
indeed scotty caveman af bro
There's also a big difference in knowledge of cars between mechanic and enthusiasts. Also big difference between a Car detailer and a mechanic. Enthusiasts know about looks, the features, they put a premium on aesthetics, ride and technology, needless to say a mechanics knowledge is more comprehensive and definitive, they know each brands weakness and strengths, the engineering pros and cons, because they're the ones who actually deal with the issues. This is why I don't listen to TH-cam "car enthusiasts" featuring cars for buyers, I ask seasoned mechanics. Most "enthusiasts" don't even know how a combustion engines works, they do cosmetic work but can't do maintenance work. Also, cannot fault mechanics for not having the time to clean their engine bay and its so time consuming as it is detail work, my uncle was a mechanic and sometimes they're so dead tired they would fall asleep with some grease still on them. If you don't know how a garage runs, you wouldn't know why mechanics are the way they are. They put cosmetics behind practicality and function.
Whaat😂reflection of who u are
@@kosiekoos9408 Yeah screw him lol I'm currently driving a shitcan but thats only becuase my fancy electronic whip was hijacked by gremlins.
"zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" went into this in great depth. a mechanic will never care like you do.
One of the Best Truthful Automobile Engineers.. alive Well-done Scotty
I've been watching Scotty Kilmer videos for several years. Scotty's information has complete changed my mind when it comes to Toyota's and Lexus. Thanks for all the information
Hasn't cleaned his Celica in 20 years...or his garage, lol.
Both😁
MR VEE idk how he’s a “mechanic” with all that mess, he probably would have way more jobs if his workstation wasn’t a mess
@@Theredstar2478 dude has the most mechanic views on youtube. Sit down son
@@Theredstar2478 hes literally a millionare and was on tv for like 15 years haha. He is also retired now I'm pretty sure, doesn't make a difference to him.
smith tyler dude, I know hella professional mechanics, my dad has been a body man for over 30 years, and they all say cleanliness is key, if your tools are a mess it will take way longer to complete jobs
Rev up your filthy engine!
😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Rev up your rev up! Lol
😂
Love this channel. Keep 'em coming. ❤ from the Philippines.
Thanks again Scotty. Just started watching your vids. Love all your help. Safety to all.
With a garage like that Scotty, I’m not surprised how you feel about engine cleaning😉
Lol. I get it.
And if you wanna see more of that garage, ya gotta ring dat bell ;)
You can have a messy shop, but only as long as its only you using it. He knows where everything is. For now
People that get things done, likes to keep things where they leave em. I have trouble with my family moving my damn things around
@@diegogonzalez9086 yep it works out fine, until somebody tries to help.
Regularly wipe down your engine with a damp cloth. No chance of water damage and no shame from a dirty engine.
Good advice. Exactly what I do.
I wipe down my engine with a live damp badger.
Same here ,if you do it regularly and don't let the dirt build up,it's easy to clean it.
Damp but not with water, use engine degreaser some water and armor all
Or piss on it
I been watching you for YEARS..you had like 10,000 subscribers..now I find you after missing you for 4years. And look at you now..the best mechanic EVER..! but I do spray my engine down I heat it up for like 5min then spray degreaser and then water so it comes off easier. But I cover most of the electronics
Scotty, I just put you on my * Favorite List for this reason, every woman needs an Reliable Mechanic to trust.
I can always count on you!!
Scotty has clearly never been to a car meet lol.
Well when there's a car meet for 1994 Toyota Celicas, he'll be there...with a dirty engine.
😆 👍 yes LOL
Mayor LOL 🤣🤣
Nobody s safe if Scotty shows up. Everyone and their mom getting roasted,, man.
Car meets lol. Do you measure penile lengths too?
It should be “never carelessly clean your engine”
I mean, if you power wash the alternator, you're gonna run into problems lmao
Exactly. There’s no problem with cleaning your engine/engine compartment. As long as you take precautions and do it right. I’ve always cleaned my engines. Never had any problems.
@@val13c59 agreed, there's a reason we see this guy working in his driveway not in a nice shop, he's a backyard mechanic, and we shouldn't trust his opinions.
I hose everything lmao never had a issue
Well said.
This the most educational guy I've ever seen! Thanks!
I need a clean engine compartment to make Me feel better….Works every time.
I have cleanded. No issues.
My garage is clean too.
*Thanks Scotty, I just cleaned my engine at the carwash yesterday! Lol*
Same here. If you live in the rust belt than you should... unless you like rusty parts.
Every single one of these videos is not only educational and filled with knowledge but so funny, LOL!
Scotty
Always sound advice from you.
I have bought 3 vehicles in the past 3 years, a Tundra, a RAV4 and a Civic. Your advice to mostly buy a Toyota or a Honda definitely influenced my decisions.
Keep up the great videos!
Scott Reed
I've always liked cleaning my engine bay, keeps things looking nice and it's a good way to keep your hoses/vacuum lines in decent shape.
But I always do it by hand with micro-fiber towels or rags, I'm not big on spraying them down with a hose/pressure washer.
Same here. I'm also convinced (perhaps wrongly so) that if I do need to take my car to a mechanic and they've seen I have taken care of it, like that, then they'll take better care of it while they work on it.
@@smitaaay Haha, good luck with that one, they will work as they normally do
The engine bay in this video is filthy.
What the hell do you idiots think happen when you drive in the 🌧️ rain
"NEVER clean your car's engine."
*shows you how to clean an engine*
He's talking about people who spray wash their engine bays. It's ok to wipe things down in an orderly fashion....
Not THE WHOLE ENGINE...
Specific isolated areas carefully.
What do ya want his title to say,
"How to Specifically clean, A, B, C, D and NOT to clean X, Y, Z"?
Geez hon, Don't be one of those....
🐰 😁 🙏 ❤️
😀
@@dannac_8888 Yep. Scotty is for the masses, where it's best to generalise. If you want to detail your engine bay and under the hood carefully with a nail brush all over without over-saturating your engine, that's fine too. Rain does come in under the bonnet during normal weather driving - I'm from the UK - it RAINS! Our old Toyota Celicas are good, too! :-)
Lol
Love ❤️ your channel. I have learned so much about working on my car .
Thank you for this!!! I appreciate all your videos!!
Ive been cleaning my engine for over 30 never had a problem
Some of us really like a nicely detailed engine compartment.
Couldn't image why... LMAO
cover the hood and u wont see whats it looks like 😂😂😂
cover that rusty engine up lol
I 2nd that.
Gotta disagree with Scotty on this one! Grease build up makes engine work harder!
Excellent advice! I love your common-sense approach to mechanics!
"Never brush your teeth," Scotty Kilmer LoL." Never had a cavity in 30 years."
I’ve been watching Scotty off and on for a while. Always enjoyed his stuff. But after seeing that 101st Airborne LP cover, I love him even more!
Ive kept a cleaned Engine 25+ plus years ...never had an issue.
So you douse it with cleaners, soap and water???
You videos are amazing, straight forward and helpful thank you for your content
Love this guy, for some reason his voice and mannerisms makes me think he's the father of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys lol
Lmaoooo
I love how the only times I've ever seen the word 'mannerisms' used is referenced to the trailer park boys 😂
Bro!
He sounds like Barney from The Simpsons.
LMFAOOOOOO
"Don't spray water on your engine it can ruin the elctronics"
*Hoses engine off*
Nuclear Trinity so true😂
Makes a video titled " Never Clean Your Car's Engine" and gives away a case of engine degreaser !!
His example was in case of a leak, where you should wash it. but if there is no leak there is no need pretty much ever
More like " dont hose your engine down...Sike" proceeds to hose down engine
@@lurk7967 Still, the title doesn't specify that, and it wasn't very clear that's what he meant.
Don't get me wrong, Scotty is awesome, he's just a little goofy.
"...having a picnic inside your car's hood..." (plus the meme!) It cracks me up! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

GANG
Scotty is right. I've talked to mechanics that have to repair engine components that were high pressure washed and will not start. If you follow the car show guys, they wipe each part of the engine in view with rags/cleaner to keep the engine clean looking.
@Mark Rizzotto nope that will damege your engine.
@@for.w.07.20 no, it won't....I worked for an access a ride fleet, and we pressure washed every SINGLE car like clockworks, including the engine bays. Same with the forklifts. Unless your literally pointing a pressure washer directly at a sensor trying to break it, you won't run into any issues. Everything important is pretty much covered. Just don't do it with super high pressure. Pretty much every fleet vehicle has their engine cleaned as part of routine maintenance and they run for 200,000 miles plus like nothing....you have to really be trying to stall your car after an engine wash
Professionals clean the engine bay with a hose. The key is to not use high pressure, the engine is cold, and to cover the alternator. You can cover your computer if it's under the hood as well. I'll listen to the professionals in their specialty rather than Scotty in this case.
@@for.w.07.20no it does not lol
@@anthonyparlette9838cold engine what 😂😂 hell noo you do it on a warm engine
Thank you for all the helpfull advice I don't do any work on my car until I watch your videos. You brake it down so it's easy to understand for the non mechanic people.
thank you for your continued dedication to this channel scotty, you are truly one of the best sources for car knowledge on youtube
The best for sure!
Nope the best!
Been following for a 2 years now. Scotty your the GOAT! I've kept my 97 Tercel in tip top shape thanks to your advice!

Great Advice Scotty, Keep up the good work
Thank you for your video. So many Common sense items I probably would have forgotten, and then it's too late. Always entertaining Scotty!!!
i just put degreaser on a towel and clean the valve covers
Keeping the engine clean actually helps the engine stay cool... oil build up on top of dirt and grim creates a barrier of insulation
Wait. Shouldn't insulating the engine make it more efficient? Cooling is the job of the radiator system. A cold engine is an inefficient engine.
@@swesleyc7 but you don't want the engine overheating do you?
@@swesleyc7 cooled not cold
I ran a dozer that leaked oil like crazy and the engine was caked in dirt that got stuck in all the oil it leaked and it ran at a cool 190 degrees all day because the radiator was doing it’s job 👍
Also dirt and grime eventually bad for the hoses.
Thanks man, you saved me alot of time and a lot of work.
Great video with lots of common sense info...
I was curious about this, glad it came up! Loving the channel Scotty!
When I had my 71' Nova it was loaded with chrome engine parts! I kept that baby spotless!
I bet it was all shiny and nice ;)
No computers on that baby!
@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx computers have always existed.
@@TraumaER I dont think what was inside of a 71 Nova could be called a computer. In those days a computer was the size of a car.
Thanks Scotty I’ve been waiting for this video on cleaning engines from you for a while good stuff
Scotty, luv ur videos!!! The little picture of the cat under the hood was priceless 🤣 please keep up the good work!! 👍
I used to do this regularly but that’s a good point. Love the content. Keep it up!
Thanks Scotty. I like a guy who gives advice to do something properly even when he’s against it.
Another very nice video Scotty!
Your on point Mr Scott, as I cleaned my engine and the next day the alarm went faulty, the electonics went ka ka! I do not every clean my engine!
Thanks for the info Scotty, I will make sure to keep this in mind when cleaning my engine
Watch chrisfixes video on how to clean an engine bay and see how it turned out
uxi same but I felt weird seeing them having opposing ideas
Luke C. Different schools of thought ones a old school mechanic another’s a young new school mechanic.
When two of the smartest kids in class have different answers
@Cucktimus Prime soapy wooder i bet!
At least pay respect. If u dont agree, just shut up your mouth
Well done Scotty cheers for the great tips.
Great info appreciate your work.
6:08 Scotty's biggest fan! ;-)
Yea, literally.
I've never had an issue after cleaning several different engine bays, but thanks for reminding me I need to do that because it's been a while!
That was very good information thank you my friend
This video was a great help.. thanks
I love how realistic and practical the advice is! Don't do things that aren't necessary!
He couldn’t see his dirty engine anyways. He’s always wearing sunglasses 🤣
😆
Maybe he has red puffy eyes lol.
Wrong
And never removes em
Now I need to see his eyes 😂
unless you are planning to have a picnic...inside your car hood.....how funny is that? lol scotty is like the uncle we all wished we had
This is good to know. I never knew cleaning an engine could be so destructive.
I like keeping my engine bay clean. I just have that crippling OCD 😂😂
I also like a clean engine, too! So much more pleasant to work on, even if I'm just doing an oil change. That being said, I would never clean the engine bay myself. Too risky, since I don't know what to cover up. I leave that to my detailer. He knows how to clean the engine bay without harming the electronics.
I agree, Victor. if our engines were exposed like on a motorcycle, we surely would keep it clean!
@@hamsterama I also keep my engine bay clean no grease is great performing Donk .
cleaner engine bay makes finding easier and sooner not when the crud is already build up on it
Yessir, you are correct!! Among things like rubber doesn't respond well to grit and grime, so things like hoses and belts kept clean last longer. He says "electronics" like its some kind of magic. These components are designed to operate in the harsh conditions of an underhood environment. They are not waterproof to the point of submersion but highly water resistant none the less.
You are good with cars,very informative.
Hey there Scotty, been listening for a few years and ive witnessed valve cover oil leak on my 2017 3.5L EB driver side. So your clean tips make sense and I'll gladly put your points to efficient use. Take care.
Cheers from a Native Texan! Love your channel and awesome content keep up the great vids.
"Unless your having a picnic there no need to clean it"!!!! 😂😂😂😂 scotty's the best

That picture with Mr. Clean looking dirty was just so funny🤣
I wonder who dosen't love their sporty car engine bay clean ?
me and i dont fucking care
I absolutely love this guy!! Bravo
Thanks Scotty, you are a great person, the world would be a better place if there were more people like you!
There would at least be a lot more dirty engine bays and Toyotas
I clean my engine bay but I clean it by hand.
Only way to do a good job is with a heated/hot jet wash....i've been doing it for years and it does a damn good job.
@@tardeliesmagic good for you. I rather follow Mr. Scotty's advice!.
hand-jobs are good
Tardeli costantini I just use a bucket of water with dawn, some rags, and I wipe it down a few times a year. I also use aerospace 303 on a rag and wipe down and condition my plastics, and hoses.
Hand jobs are better
I pressure washed my trucks engine and used protector spray and covered everything rubber. It's nice and new lookijg while keeping all the rubber protected.
ONCE AGAIN SCOTTY YOU CAME THROUGH. THANKS FOR THE TIPS!! 💪👍
Thanks for all your hard work, I’m learning a lot from you bud
I was just thinking should I clean my engine thanks for the info Scotty K
I every month cleaning my engine and never had a problem with them since 2016
thats a very short amount of time but ok
@@EndOfTheW0rld As long as you do it with a nice strong spray that cleans through dirt and wipe with a microfiber towel or any old rag it will be fine. Its the idiots who pressure wash it who are going to have problems.
Thats nonsense. My uncle has been pressure washing engines for 30 years. Maybe only 1 or 2 issues over that length of time. Now he knowes what to cover and its not every electrical part its like maybe 1 or 2 things. Only on certain cars.
I've been cleaning my motor for over 13 years and never ever had a problem.
Scotties never wrong, you are playing with fire....water.
Your videos are really helping
great video . very informative.
