And what’s up with eCVT?
Happy Father's day Scotty!!! By the way what is the best way to change transmission fluid? I've changed both by by dropping the pan an filter, and by disconnecting the line from the cooler. However what the best way between these two options in your opinion?
As Moroccan & I do thank you a lots ...
Happy Father’s Day
Heyyy Scotty! Happy Father's Day man!
1st sign your transmission is having problems, your car has a Nissan logo on it .. 😁😁🤣🤣🤣.. just from my experience owning one.
😂😂😂 Sadly I agree. 😅😅😅
So true
my 350z is still solid aha it’s the fwd transmissions that are crap
Or it says Acura TL on the back
@@splays7691 tell me about it still drivin a 06 3.2 auto lol
We need more honest mechanics like Scotty!!
For sure.
great video
We need to have mechanics stream their services or upload them to youtube.. If they arent doing it right, we can easily figure that out and go somewhere else. Right now its "hey can you do it this way because its the right way?" and they dont do it right.
If you think it is only mechanics are giving you a stretch…..you trust a banker ? Doctor ? Ha !
I'm a honest mechanic 😏🤥🥴😈
👁👃👁
👅
Amazing info! From a woman learning to quit being taken advantage of in shops. They always treat me like I don't know! Well, now I do. :)
I feel ya
Dont feel bad, its not just because your a girl, i feel like they see right through me as well. Lol 🫣😆
You gotta find one of these Asian dudes they’ll get you right been going to the same Vietnamese guy since I turned 16 he’s awesome.
Yes that sucks they do that I've always been pretty good at mechanic & body work & I have always told women the truth & tried explaining everything normally even charged women less if they was nice!!
after watching this man speak for 4:30 min i could tell i was listening to someone who is a master mechanic and extremely knowledgeable source of information to rely on from how easily i was already learning from what and how he is saying and breaking it down in his own form you can tell he is sharing from years of not only experience but also a certain passion for his craft that has allowed him to delevope a technique and skill for teaching and confident i could learn much more and have to subscribe and how lucky to come across the channel and acknowledging how rare it is to come across awsome individuals as him self!
.. and besides sharp, he's funnnyyyy too
I know absolutely nothing about cars/ had no real interest in learning.
Suddenly Scotty came along and I just can't help but get sucked in.
He answers all the questions
I give this guy a thumbs up before I even watch his videos. They never disappoint.
Yea hes the best
Even if you know hes good should watch them first the main problem with the world scoott would agree
Me too, in case I forget.
Same lol
True that :)
Scotty's Celica is so well made it's starting to reverse the mileage
Just like Christene.
He could legit find 100+ faults and error codes in the 2 weeks old CLA I drive... 😂😂😂😂 Calling it a moneypit at the same time...
Just drive it backwards 🧠 🤯 🧠
That's what happens when you drive it in reverse
😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏
i took the risk of draining my transmission fluid at 200k miles on my 2014 accord, now i do it every 30k miles. So far so good, 263k miles running strong
Nice you should be good, keep us updated.
I have a 2011 Accord did you just get the tranny fluid exchange and filter?
U did it urself ???
Honda power
@@user-xq1bh9fn6q yeah, it's extremely easy on the 9th gen honda accord. Took me about 10-15 mins. I saw a few videos on youtube

Flush toilets, not transmissions. Got it.
In africa they flush toilets with transmission oil!! I swear, i've seen it done.

Lol😂
Scotty is as honest as a mechanic gets in this world. I wish there were more like him.
Except the store he opened in Albuquerque that he's shoving down our thoats now
No hay.
I’m gonna be honest; I’ve worked with and for a pretty decent number of mechanics and at least the ones I’ve worked around absolutely do not care enough or have the time to lie to you or sell you things you don’t need. They just want the money it’ll take to pay themselves without you coming back with a problem because then they have to fix it again, usually for free
My transmission is actually having trouble, I clicked on this video expecting to commiserate but still ended up learning something new. Thanks!
Same lol I think mines is slipping in my 05 Kia Sorento Ex but I didn’t hear anything related to what I’m experiencing
Scotty putting mechanics outta work one shop at a time! I love it 👏
"maybe it slips a little!" *picture of car facedown in the snow* LOL!
I love getting yelled at by Scotty about cars. Makes my day!
😂
YES yell at us Scotty!
😂😂😂
😂
Its really funny how Scotty always changes his scenery when explaining even more.
It's just editing.
So do I change it or do I not Scotty 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Here at Mercedes a transmission service is dropping the pan, replacing the gasket, filter, and drain out the fluid in it. Put pan on with new gasket, top off with new fluid. No flushing.
No flushing...change it more often !
@@Garth2011 nope. I've got a 1991 Mercedes 190e. Manual says change the fluid each 100k km or 60k miles. Not only is the fluid clean after I change it. As Dcc357 said, you replace the filter and pan gasket. When draining out the fluid, i got 4.9x liters out of my transmission when there should be 5L in there. That extra 50ml or less of old fluid won't damage anything. That's why these Benz's will outlast any car as long as the preventative maintenance is done.
Makes sense
MERCEDES CHARGED ME 8000 USD FOR GASKET REPLACEMENT
Any experience with a slipping 5 speed Mercedes transmission? Slips under partial load up hills…

His delivery is crazy to me. He’s super smart and explains everything so well n never loses me. I like this dude a lot and who woulda thought a flush would be bad
LIke the old Fram commercials - "You can pay me now, or pay me later".
My only Regret in Life is that i wish that i would have found Scotty Kilmer's TH-cam Channel sooner.
AMEN BROTHER!! He is the absolute BEST!!!!!
Agreed!! I wouldn't spend that much money , trying to fix those crappy Chevys Ford's, ... lesson learned after scoty channel
You have 13 years worth of content to catch up on 😉
Why? Did your transmission crap out?
That's problem a good regret to have lol
If you do it regularly is the key, (change fluid). If you let dirt get stuck somewhere, it is best to leave it where it is. Your transmission life will be shorter than had you changed fluid often, but sending the dirt elsewhere can cause immediate failure.
This taught me so much! Thankyou so much for making videos like these, mini mechanic learning from a legend!!
I am starting to see a pattern here. More people need to buy 94' Celicas and STOP buying New cars.
Honda, Toyota....older Ford, older Chevy and older Volvo
...new cars are made like crap
You know carmakers don't make good cars anymore they just build commercial machines every 3 612 months You need to do something. If you smart buy old from 2000 to 2010 they re better built than nowadays toys. And you save a lot of money car is car just to take you to your destination.
I can 100% attest that that Lucas transmission slip fix is amazing. I inherited a 2007 Honda Accord with 210k miles on it from my uncle. Without my knowledge my mechanic change the transmission fluid because it was a dirty and I had a feeling my uncle never did that. Needless to say, it started slipping and hesitating terribly within a year (I dont drive very much luckily). I put the Lucas fluid in and ever since it's been shifting like a dream. Best stuff ever!
I’m gonna try it in my van, . 186k miles, It started slipping and sometimes it won’t go in reverse. Thank you for the advice
@@manuelsalgado8510 How did it work?
@@kiddav5005 it didn’t work, but my transmission was already kicking it, . The van is sitting now. Maybe if I would have tried it sooner
@@manuelsalgado8510 tried changing the filter? One last hope.
@@starkeymorgan4142 what filter? My van doesn’t have reverse or forward,
Everything Scotty said in this video is happening. I have 2007 Lexus ES350. I bought it used and everything was going great because I maintained it. Then 2 years ago Toyota changed the transmission oil and in May my car just started to act up. I barely able to make it to my mechanic. He changed the oil and runs slightly better but Scotty I believe just confirmed I need a new transmission. Uggh
He's a true mechanic- talks with his hands!
I flushed transmission fluid on my 03 Grand Marquis with 175k miles, but manually not by a flush machine. First, dropped the pan and removed 5 quarts. Then I removed the cooler line that is going back to the transmission from radiator and started the car. Fluid started to flow out of the line and as soon as very less fluid started to come out, I turned off the car. The car takes 14 quarts of Mercon V, but the car took only 12 quarts and it was full. I performed this back in 2017 and since then the transmission shifts like a dream. So lags, no jerks nothing. Smooth shifting like new. The car now has 220k miles. So from my experience, manual flushing of the transmission worked out well.
I never changed the fluid before 175k miles. It was the one and the only time I did because my torque converter had the common shudder issue. After the flush, I also added Dr tranny instant shudder fix additive as well. I did try Dr tranny before flushing as well but it work more than 4 months.
Scott is right.. we'd use "F type" or STP to thicken the fluid. But if it still slips, the clutch plates & seals are probably worn out too much.
I’m glad you addressed this because this is really important. I doubt my transmission fluid was ever replaced on both of my high mileage cars so i never will. My Honda I have Added some before because it was a little low but that’s it
He has made sure to cover everything possible. I'm glad I have watched his videos!!!!!
Happy Father's Day Scotty! You are the most reliable mechanic with tons of information...I enjoy watching your videos daily and learning something new almost always! A true fan from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🙏

Scotty, thank you. Anytime I want to learn something about my cars, I look for you first.
I guess many shops learned to hate you over the years. I love it, keep it coming.
Always so helpful, Happy Father's Day Scotty!
Thank you. Now I specifically know which issues to ignore.
Thanks for another great video. Your videos are very informative. Mechanics must love you.
He's spot on. As a life long operator of high mileage automobiles this is the closest explaination of reality I have seen. Older transmissions are hit or miss and flushing can be just a gamble. Mostly as a last resort when you think your gonna need a new transmission. The best thing you can ever do is keep it from slipping at all cost. Don't be the asshat that pushes a slipping transmission with a heavier foot. It never pans out. Long drawn out soft shifts are transmission suicides and abnormal high rpm s with little change in a actual movement create heat and wear clutches. Best choice, stop immediately , top fluid and keep it that way.
So I replaced my rad and I didn’t know the fluid got cooled down in the radiator. I ran the engine without the rad and everything flushed out. Black fluid came out , a LOT of it did. I started filling it with 1 quart, high rpm. I then put another quart, again, high rpm. I put in 4 quarts total by this point, it got a lot better, but still, high rpm. I finally put a total of 8 quarts and now the car accelerates well but now the sound the transmission makes when it revs is completely different but I get power from it.
@@Crabchann does your transmission still work ?
@@Putthemracksup yeah actually lol the transmission noise is normal.
What year is the cut off between older and newer? That sure would be helpful don't you think?
I think you're the asshat.... You Don't know what it's like to HAVE to drive that.
3 reasons for slipping:
1. Worn clutches or bands. Mechanical failure.
2. Passage in valve body clogged with sludge. This is where new fluid can help.
3. Valve body bolts loose. Causing internal leaking from one passage to another causing lower pressure. This is the defect that thickeners can help.
Low fluid
Scotty Kilmer is a legend. He is indeed the best mechanic in the WORLD. I don't think any mechanic can match him.
Brilliant design! Love it. The designers don't work on them so they have no clue. Great job on info!!

Best automotive maintenance and repair videos on TH-cam. Period
thank you very much! i look many of our videos and it s so clear and helpful! big hug
Happy Father's day!
Agreed not to flush, but after 100K+ miles if never changed. Dealer did a complete flush & refilled all 11qts on my car at 60K miles and trans shifts sooo much better now, with NO issues!
I was always told when it comes to transmissions, only do a drain and refill (or partial drain and refill) --- never flush transmissions, especially ones that either have not had the fluid changed or it's really dirty. It's one of those things you either do it regularlly at 60-90k or you just leave it alone and hope for the best. I've seen a few cars where people even just drained fluid that had never been drained on cars with 150k on them and they never ran right again (they ran OK before the fluid change though) and they ended up junking them a year or two later... On my last few vehicles, it was done every 60k.
I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that I bought with 90k miles now it has 120k miles.. transmission kinda jerks lightly between 2-3 gear some times.
Should I drain the transmission fluid and change oil filter?
True words spoken
@@age0fdef1
If it's a standard automatic transmission I would probably just leave it alone if it's never been touched for 120K. If it's a CVT I'd consider changing it because those fluids are much more sensitive and must be changed regularly from what I've been told. My wife had a CVT on her Nissan Rogue. We changed the fluid every 40K and it still crapped out at 120K miles.
@@age0fdef1 I just changed mine 2009 Toyota Corolla with 120k miles just did a transmission fluid drain and filter change never been changed before and it’s running good so I think yours will be fine
@@leonelromero3296 how did u know you have to drain the transmission fluid ?? We’re there any signs?? I have a Toyota Yaris😅
Great presentation Scotty! You are "One of a kind!"
Excellent video Scotty! You obviously know a lot about cars. I am hearing a grinding noise in my car. I was about to demand a transmission fluid change. After watching your video, I have now asked for the mechanic to check out the noise.
Great video. I need help with my 3007 Camry. We had a rebuilt transmission put in with a year warranty the year almost up and it's been haven't slippery problems. And sometimes when I stopped up to pass someone. It feels like a double shift. I took my it back to the dealer 4 tone it did it the first 3 times. The the manager wanted to drive out with his scan tool plugged in. Wouldn't you know it. It didn't do it. He sent the data to to uhh ota anyway and told Toyota about thteansmission acting up. Toyota said we have to catch it on a scan tool to see what's wrong. What should I do. The transmission only 2 months left on warranty. 1 year is a sucky warrenty FF or Toyota to give to customers for a rebuilt one from Toyota directly. What should I do? What would you do?
I have 2000 F150 it still recommends a 30000 mile transmission service. That's what I stick to 250000 miles and still strong. Great advice Scotty.
This guy! So much info in little time! Appreciate this!
Love this video.
I've been watching your recordings for a while & this one tells me why I just got rid of three vehicles within a 16 months period.
They were an older model with high kms & probably should've done the transmission oil change as soon as I got them

Very true I've seen so many ppl have a slip or nothing wrong with their transmission, and they get it flushed 2 months later they need a rebuild.
2012 Kia Soul 2.0 with 305,789 miles on it 6speed automatic transmission never serviced.
Transmission shifts fine.
Don’t even think about changing that tranny fluid and keep driving that thing the way you normally drive it because that tranny can go at any time!
Change your auto trans fluid and filter every 30,000. It helps much in preventing having to rebuild the transmission under 80,000 miles and can last well over 150,000 as long as it hasn't been misused.
My ES350 2007 has 285k with the original fluid....yikes!

You have done this video perfect. 100% agreed.
Even though I started watching your program recently you definitely make sense (you know what you are talking about) keep it up we are learning from you!
If you do multiple drain and fills at one time you will remove over 90% of the old fluid. It's time consuming but highly effective.
This man is telling the truth. Had a 2002 Hyundai Elantra that was doing the same thing, my father showed me how to change the fluid and it never slipped again.
Hi, I took my car to the shop. They told me to leave it alone because when they drained the fluid in the pan, they saw pieces so they said its holding it together. Do I not never change the fluid ever again?
i had an 02 elantra gt , and best car ever until the oil pump went and motor seized middle of winter in -36. but other then that was the best car i ever had .
Scotty is the dad that i needed 🙏🤜👊
Scotty - I am so mad that I found you in adulthood - when I was in college, a "family friend" worked on my 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS when I was away. He changed my transmission fluid and that summer was the worst one of my life. My car was ruined forever & he never admitted it was his fault. The transmission slipped constantly and 2nd gear was the worst!
Scotty is time-shifting and traveling back to Texas and such.
lol
Yes Scotty can warp space-time, but that's just one of his many mechanics secrets he hasn't leaked yet ;)

@@ToyotaNutjob i care
The ease of which it is to change the transmission fluid in a manual transmission is enough of a reason to drive manual instead of automatic \m/ Besides the facts sticks are a million times more fun to drive, even on a wussy little 1994 Toyota Celica :D

When I worked at Jiffy Lube I did transmission fluid exchanges. The machine just replaced the old fluid with the new fluid. It doesn't replace the filters. But it does exchange the fluid 100%.
Thank You! Scotty, you're a genius!
You can flush (safely) your own fluid. Get 2 buckets fill the one with new fluid and leave one empty. Disconnect the hoses put one hose that sucks the atf in the filled bucket and the other hose that empties the old atf in the empty bucket. Start the engine and wait until the empty bucket is filled with the old fluid and the bucket with the new atf is empty. Voila!
Hey Scotty. Thank you so much for this video. After seeing this video a few weeks ago, my 2010 Scion Xb with 208k miles on it had an code of P0741. This car was gifted to me. The previous owner failed to do any transmission maintenance on it. The transmission symptoms were the high revving during idle or driving and couldn't drive pass 35 mph. So because of how black the trans fluid was, we drained the fluid, removed the trans pan and trans filter. Put on a new gasket and trans filter. Thoroughly cleaned the trans pan. Added news trans fluid and Lucas trans fix. Cleared the code and wow! Car runs so good. Drove it for 5 days taking my kids to and from school with no issues. So a BIG THANK YOU for saving me $1,645 to rebuild the trans. Fingers crossed 🤞 that this trans maintenance will help the car run longer.
Update! Scion is still running good after putting 600 miles on it after the repair.
@@KC-xp9of did your light come on😮
@@Texas_Made_ yes the check engine light came on. After doing the trans maintenance and clearing the code, the light never came back on. So now we drive the Scion like a grandma 😁
i have a Scion 2013XD, at 100k miles, trans fluid looked very dark. I told jiffy lube just to do a simple drain and refill, but they said they don't mess with the Drain pan or change the Trans filter. I would like to get that filter swapped and maybe clean the pan. How important is it to swap out that trans filter guys? any advice? thank you.
@@user-wf8je6up2i this is not an easy job due to having to remove the sub frame just to get the trans pan off. This car is not easy to work on because it is so compact. Then there are lots of bolts holding the trans pan on. So it's tricky to unbolt it so all the oil doesn't spill all over the place. I believe there is a TH-cam video on this service. And, I've changed the trans fluid 2x and the car still runs great 😁 well... except it eats up a lot of oil each week due to bad pistons from the manufacturer.
Amazing and informative video Scott !!! Thank you very much brand new subscriber
I ❤ watching your videos. I watch them darn near faithfully and listen to you like a podcast.😊
You should do a video on cvts. I'm sure the maintenance and basic care are different between the two but cvt care is very contradictive most of the time
Numero uno! I love this guy he is a great mechanic !
Thank you so much for this video
The Manual for my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 30k mile transmission fluid change interval. I got lucky with this Jeep. I know Scotty doesn't like them. I bought it with 49k miles in June of 2018. Two months ago I hit 85k. I took it to a transmission shop for a fluid change. The tech told me that the fluid was impeccable. Whoever had it before me kept up on it. No slips, very smooth shifting. And this is a Hemi Jeep.
I just think of Jeeps as discount Subarus, sometimes you get a creampuff and get lucky I'm sure. They also made some very reliable models (Wrangler) but overall I'd be much more comfortable driving a subby than a Jeep. I've just seen too many transmission and suspension issues on them.
Trade it before its to late. Lol
Scotty I'm a 31 year old female learning to fix my own car and I absolutely love watching your videos. I would love to ask you a few questions if possible. I have 2004 Chrysler 300m and would love some tips and advice
I should have listened to videos like this. I purchased a used rx330 '04, seemed like transmission fluid wasn't changed in about 100k miles. It had 160k miles on it. I found a mechanic who was a Japanese car expert. He told me it's safe. Said he's done it many times. Prior to the flush (non-powered/ non pressurized) flush, the car shifted so smoothly and beautifully. After the flush, it takes longer to get into 4th gear with a lag. It runs fine after a few months but I will hate myself if the transmission breaks within the next year or so.
The “ Guru ! “.
