Hi Scotty. I noticed that the smallest engines in a car you can find today in North America, are engines like the Ecoboost 1.0L. Is there a reason why 800cc engine cars are no longer being produced here? _Thanking in advance,_ _Mirek._
Scotty I asked you to answer my question about 2003 lexus es300. It has AVS suspensions, they very expensive $871 each. Now can I used the regular suspensions without the conversion kit cause NO one makes them. And if I can, will I get the abs and traction control lights on? Please I need help . Thank you
The car wouldn't be running if it wasn't at least some sort of new oil. My friend is a mechanic and had a new Kia come in and the lady hadn't had the oil changed for 35k miles and the engine blew.
@JasonhalloweenXXX PCV valve was backed up to the point oil was slipping into the air filter box and through the spark plug seals. And its ivtec 2.4 which i think is the sturdiest 4 cylinder out there.
I have an 08 Malibu with 3.6 V6 and 202,000 miles. Have used Mobil 1 synthetic and Mobil 1 oil filter since first oil change at 3000 miles. I use tier 1 Shell unleaded regular. Oil changed every 8,000 miles. No engine problems whatsoever. Just changed the spark plugs for the second time, spark wires changed for the first time. New struts at 170,000 miles. I'm impressed with the cars durability with average maintenance.
Scotty, you always amaze me! You make repairing a vehicle "look" so easy! It must be all those years of experience. I really miss two things in my life, riding my motorcycles and working on cars. Mostly minor maintenance. However, during Operation Enduring Freedom I was hurt, and three of my buddies killed. It left me with some major pain and mobility issues. I am able to walk after 6 months of physical therapy, but no long can work on stuff. I can barely restring and play my guitar, sitting down of course. But, thank you for sharing your videos with the rest of us. I love to watch them and I love your positive attitude and smiling animals! Take care my friend.
Am i the only one who notices the majority of these Camry's have a dent in a corner of the rear bumper. Rarely do i see one of these without it. Are camry drivers that bad at backing up?
I personally put a dent in some guy's camry rear bumper. Used the side of my corolla to do that while trying to park. I got the scratch and he got the dent.
Scotty, your laughter is contagious! Best mechanic on TH-cam! :) I was just watching your videos to do my first ever oil change. Now I'm running out to see if I got a double gasket or not on it lol
I’m glad that in Europe we have to check our cars every year for their Safty functions. It’s something that the government does right, If I imagine seeing that Camry on the autobahn 🙈

It's now 2020, Covid19, and I drive it, no problems. Best car I ever bought. I hope I can find another one even if it has 120,000 on it. It's a great car! NO RUST anywhere!!! It has over 250,000 miles on it, runs like its new! Inside is clean, and outside. Not a garage kept vehicle.

Here in New Brunswick, Canada, a rear door on my car had a little chip out of the plastic handle and thus failed the yearly 'safety' robbery. New offshore handle cost $50-. It took me literally 5 minutes to install. They were going to charge me $200- installed. I paid myself with a nice steak.
I had a 1998 toyota camry when it had 201,xxx miles. I drove it for 5 years all over the country with minimal issues. I changed the oil religiously and got the odometer up to 370,000 miles and ended up selling it to someone in need for a good price. It's cool to see how long these cars go with the proper maintainence and care!
Cor i thought i was bad at 36k per change...but that IS EVERY YEAR its changed (i just rack up serious miles) AND MOTOR....sorry...HIGHWAY milage.... its a peugoet 207sw 90hp turbo diesal 1.6. 2013 new. Done 120k miles. No issues bar last week with brake shoes snagged into the rear drum - never been changed. Clutch is also original and showin no signs - good little donkey maybe slow but does 70mpg so you can keep your complicated hybrid prius!
Also, I am REALLY shocked he didn't say replace the valve screw rubber spacers and USE A TORQUE WRENCH. These valve covers are VERY easily cracked under too much strain.
I took scottys advice for my 99 es300 and put KYB struts, after market mounts, oem rubber sleeve and insulators, tie rods, steering rack bushings, ball joints, sway bar links and bushings, all for around $500. Did it myself, learned alot and 3000 miles in its driving like a cloud.
ive still got my 2000 v6 camry and it still runs perfectly at almost 270,000 miles. Never had any serious work done other than a new A/C compressor. This thing will probably outlive me
Hey Scotty. I love the channel and all your videos. Here's an idea for a video. Show the tools required to perform the basic introduction to car repair and maintenance (and a minute of tips for each repair), for all the younger adults getting their first car. I vote for part one to cover: fuel filter, air filter, oil plus oil filter, fan belt, battery, wiper blades, changing a tire, jumping a low battery...part two: testing and changing alternator, starter motor, radiator hoses, valve cover gasket, electric window switch replacement, etc...
props to Scotty. hes filming while all that racket going on in the background. man i couldnt think nevermind shoot a video while thats going on. scotty a pro
No doubts there! Back in 09 I bought an 06 Silverado with 40,000 miles on it, and as Scotty says, it "fell apart in front of my very eyes" within a couple of months. Learned my lesson with GM real quick, never again!
I am driving a 2000 Camry now , these cars are the toughest cars I have every seen , engine and body , and I still drive it interstate on highways and motorways and it runs like a dream !
You could have cleaned out the gunk in the valve cover also if you clean all the old oil off from the old leak you can make sure there isn’t a new leak.
I love cars like this it gives it character cant wait til my Accord starts to have small flaws like this Camry “Yea thats my car and it broke when i drove it” its like a journey to me
Of course he didn't! The video clearly showed he didn't,many garages won't not clean it as it takes too long.Mechanics are also paid on commission and they wanna earn as much as they can,why the hell clean it when they can earn more in one day?
I used to know a woman, she was not stupid by any means, but thought she was so clever by never changing her oil. Of course, one day her engine seized and she had to buy another car, not that smart eh? But she felt smug, lol!
I watched a video of a guy that pulled out a toyota pickup from a bog. It appeared to have been there for years. They fed some fuel to the engine and got it to start. Excellent testament to the durability of Toyota engines.
Poor scotty is losing his willingness, and ability to diagnose in his later days. That dog bone engine mount only goes out when the main one has to much play in it, it doesn't just go out like that one did. Also that back valve cover should also be replaced in conjunction with that front one regardless of if it's only leaking a little bit. This is because the customer will come back and complain that he still has an oil leak, you will tell him oh I only replaced the front one and not the back, now there's another couple hours it is over at your house working on it when you could have replaced it with it there already.
I got one of these for 500 bucks with a standard transmission and 5sfe engine at 113k miles. Changed struts, timing belt, water pump, and a bunch of other small things. Nothing fancy by any means but damn is it one of the best cars I have ever owned. Just a great all around car.
I don't know much about cars but whenever the valve cover gasket started leaking I was ready to get rid of it. I remember taking a 25 mile round trip to visit my sister and I had to pour a quart of oil in my car when I was finished lol. Those kinds of cars have character.
What are all the required maintenance does she have done please? I inherited my Mom's 94. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that want to buy it. And it gets looked over a lot. Lol Guess I'm driving a classic! Thanks Mom!!!
@@angelshark64 water pump, timing belt. Thermostat, other belts. Engine/tranny mounts. Spark plugs and wires. Coolant flush, new hoses. Lots of things people never do, just run the car into the ground. I personally change my engine oil every 5k. I use Supertech high mileage full synthetic ($17 / quart). I am probably going to do 50k (every 10th) oil changes with royal purple though and stick with ST for the other oil changes at 5k.
@@angelshark64 My wife's '94 two door still looks good, too. She had timely oil & filter changes, ignition parts, vacuum lines, shocks & struts, etc. Most important, the timing belt! Her glove box is PACKED with all the receipts!
Kevin Gallineau II 50,000 mile oil change??? Wtf ...royal purple is just oil you know it's not like it don't break down ..it does I tried royal purple I decided to go back to regular oil no need to spend three or four times for a gimmicky product....my filter was still getting full of crap just like regular oil....good luck with that 50k oil change...might need a new motor lol
Scotty's a pro, so I know he knows what he's doing, but I like using a torque wrench for even things like the valve cover. Its easy to over-tighten stuff like that.
@Milhaus so, nothing then? Because you'd have to REALLY over tighten them for that to happen. I was expecting to hear some sort of sensor would be messed up or something
Watching you working on that 2001 Camry with 180k miles on it was like a flashback from my 2005 Altima with 130k miles. Almost all the same problems; door handle, suspension, valve cover and gasket, motor mount, etc. Weird!
i had to change the Valve seal gasket for a 06 Honda, scared shitless to avoid anything getting in the head and fought tooth and nail truing to get the spark plug gaskets off the cover being afraid to chip/break anything, Scotty over here quick wipe/ hammer smash, i wish i seen this sooner
My first car was a 1992 Toyota Vista VX with 290,000 miles that matched my age but ran great despite having oil baked into thick crunchy chips in the head and corroded water jacket that leaked into a cylinder, I discovered while fixing an oil gasket leak. Over the years, I changed a worn distributor cap, failed radiator top tank, front wheel bearings, and the occasional blown radiator hose. I did my own work and gained mad respect for the older Toyota 4 cylinders. I retired the car when it would die when I splashed in a puddle and wouldn't restart until after you sat patiently for 5-10mins and try again. There would be no water in the engine bay. I never found the problem.
@@stephenarling1667 Nothing. Heat just accelerates the process. The structure itself is not stable at room temperature and 1 atmosphere. It just takes very long to do so.
I built the ole 4.0 straight six in my Jeep, and all I ever run is royal purple with rislone zinc additive and a FACTORY mopar filter. I have a little less than 13000 miles on it and runs great.
Hello scotty I have a Toyota corolla 1995 in Sydney Australia with 200,000 kilometres/124274 miles . I love your channel. I have picked up a lot of tips thanks

I took scottys advice for my 99 es300 and put KYB struts, after market mounts, oem rubber sleeve and insulators, tie rods, steering rack bushings, ball joints, sway bar links and bushings, all for around $500. Did it myself, learned alot and 3000 miles in its driving like a cloud.
@7:44 “put the stupid beauty cover on “ he’s so awesome !🤣😂
Scotty seems especially enchanted by this particular mechanical beast.
When tackling a job and me not being a mecanic theres something about scottys vidoes that calms me down and i know everythings going to be ok 😎.
I agree, hes just like take this stupid thing off, move this crap out of the way, jiggle this piece of junk, slap this back on. Lol
ive still got my 2000 v6 camry and it still runs perfectly at almost 270,000 miles. Never had any serious work done other than a new A/C compressor. This thing will probably outlive me
Scotty, you're a man after my own heart....working on stuff while talking away about what I'm doing - nobody there to hear me...just talking away. :)
Hey Scotty. I love the channel and all your videos. Here's an idea for a video. Show the tools required to perform the basic introduction to car repair and maintenance (and a minute of tips for each repair), for all the younger adults getting their first car. I vote for part one to cover: fuel filter, air filter, oil plus oil filter, fan belt, battery, wiper blades, changing a tire, jumping a low battery...part two: testing and changing alternator, starter motor, radiator hoses, valve cover gasket, electric window switch replacement, etc...
Covered everything. Good working knowledge.
props to Scotty. hes filming while all that racket going on in the background. man i couldnt think nevermind shoot a video while thats going on. scotty a pro
.....and it's still more reliable than a Chevy.
No doubts there! Back in 09 I bought an 06 Silverado with 40,000 miles on it, and as Scotty says, it "fell apart in front of my very eyes" within a couple of months. Learned my lesson with GM real quick, never again!
Truth!
Exactly most chevies are junk. Not like old chevies used to be.
@@appealingpit I have a 1995 chevy Silverado that has a 5.7 350 v8 with 210,000 miles on it and it's still running strong just take care of it
CumminsDriver100 sounds like someone rode it hard and hung it up wet my neighbor has a 05 Silverado still drives it today over 400k on it now
1940 massey fergusons have stupid unnecessary bodywork, i guess that's just how they make tractors these days
That car must have been shivering with pleasure as it was being worked on.
Quikstrut is a name trademarked by Monroe which are not cheap struts.
6:07 onwards : close your eyes and listen...doesn't he sound like Winnie the Pooh Bear if Pooh Bear was a mechanic lol!
Why does this comment not have more likes lol
Funny AF
"As you can see all of the loose crude in the cover that is going to get right back into the oil because I did not clean it off"
It'll be just fine, when Scotty hit the cover with the 10 pound hammer it loosened all the crud and made it fall into the sump. 😅😂🤣
@@mael-strom9707 bye bye oil pickup
@@mael-strom9707 LOL
Compared to the rest of the engine, that sludge removed from valve cover is insignificant. Scotty doesn’t do anything unless the customer asks for it.
It's stained black from soot in filthy oil, not sludge
I am driving a 2000 Camry now , these cars are the toughest cars I have every seen , engine and body , and I still drive it interstate on highways and motorways and it runs like a dream !
You could have cleaned out the gunk in the valve cover also if you clean all the old oil off from the old leak you can make sure there isn’t a new leak.
I love cars like this it gives it character cant wait til my Accord starts to have small flaws like this Camry “Yea thats my car and it broke when i drove it” its like a journey to me
1.00 I own 2 2001 camrys ,,(4 cyl) Its easy to do the struts.
Buy monroe from Rock auto ( 120) , just do the front struts.
Dont buy a v6
Now you tell me!
@@kennethiman2691 Look at it this way... At least you didnt buy a Chrysler 200
cpgone Facts! I will never buy another fwd V6 regardless of the manufacturer.
@@trevagraham1605 then also include flat4 Subaru's, those are not maintenance friendly at all.
@@jfv65 Yea I'm really all about inline 4's and inline 6's, mainly from the 90's. To me that was when cars were reliable and easy to work on.
I hope he cleaned out that valve cover before reinstalling it.
Nah! Lipstick 💄 on a pig 🐖 🤣
Dont think the owner cared so dont think scotty cared lol
No ! Scotty works like a pig but it's fun to see him putting this sludgy valve cover back !
Of course he didn't! The video clearly showed he didn't,many garages won't not clean it as it takes too long.Mechanics are also paid on commission and they wanna earn as much as they can,why the hell clean it when they can earn more in one day?
@@tardeliesmagic Yes, it's just good business sense. It takes less time and the customer might have to come back for repairs sooner. ;)
I used to know a woman, she was not stupid by any means, but thought she was so clever by never changing her oil. Of course, one day her engine seized and she had to buy another car, not that smart eh? But she felt smug, lol!
I watched a video of a guy that pulled out a toyota pickup from a bog. It appeared to have been there for years. They fed some fuel to the engine and got it to start. Excellent testament to the durability of Toyota engines.
I expected him to say "and the oil still looks brand new!"
One of my favorite Scotty quotes: “Wiggle it a little.”
Kinda makes me glad that I have the 4 cylinder version of this car. Easier to work on
He has said on number of occasion the 4 cylinder much easier to work on and last longer.
I think 2.2 is a bit slow on acceleration. Well at least my Camry is.
@@temelon new camry 4with the 4 banger is pretty quick, and the v6 is too much faster
Poor scotty is losing his willingness, and ability to diagnose in his later days. That dog bone engine mount only goes out when the main one has to much play in it, it doesn't just go out like that one did. Also that back valve cover should also be replaced in conjunction with that front one regardless of if it's only leaking a little bit. This is because the customer will come back and complain that he still has an oil leak, you will tell him oh I only replaced the front one and not the back, now there's another couple hours it is over at your house working on it when you could have replaced it with it there already.
this gen of camry had sludging problems but was a ripping engine especially with the 5 speed manual
yep, LOTS of oil changes and PCV valves!
It was nice to see you working on the car! Thanks for the practical advice on an older vehicle!!!
I enjoy these type of videos
Doubt that it hasn't had an oil change for 100k. I have seen far worse with half the miles.
It was probably burning oil and the owner kept refilling it. A different kind of oil change.
I got one of these for 500 bucks with a standard transmission and 5sfe engine at 113k miles. Changed struts, timing belt, water pump, and a bunch of other small things. Nothing fancy by any means but damn is it one of the best cars I have ever owned. Just a great all around car.
I don't know much about cars but whenever the valve cover gasket started leaking I was ready to get rid of it. I remember taking a 25 mile round trip to visit my sister and I had to pour a quart of oil in my car when I was finished lol. Those kinds of cars have character.
My wife's '94 Camry has over 383,000 miles (of course, she's had all required maintenance done on time - including timing belt)
What are all the required maintenance does she have done please? I inherited my Mom's 94. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that want to buy it. And it gets looked over a lot. Lol Guess I'm driving a classic! Thanks Mom!!!
@@angelshark64 water pump, timing belt. Thermostat, other belts. Engine/tranny mounts. Spark plugs and wires. Coolant flush, new hoses. Lots of things people never do, just run the car into the ground. I personally change my engine oil every 5k. I use Supertech high mileage full synthetic ($17 / quart). I am probably going to do 50k (every 10th) oil changes with royal purple though and stick with ST for the other oil changes at 5k.
@@angelshark64 My wife's '94 two door still looks good, too. She had timely oil & filter changes, ignition parts, vacuum lines, shocks & struts, etc. Most important, the timing belt! Her glove box is PACKED with all the receipts!
Kevin Gallineau II 50,000 mile oil change??? Wtf ...royal purple is just oil you know it's not like it don't break down ..it does I tried royal purple I decided to go back to regular oil no need to spend three or four times for a gimmicky product....my filter was still getting full of crap just like regular oil....good luck with that 50k oil change...might need a new motor lol
@@MA-jx6in I agree
Scotty's a pro, so I know he knows what he's doing, but I like using a torque wrench for even things like the valve cover. Its easy to over-tighten stuff like that.
terrywho22 absolutely agree with that I was wondering about that myself also was curious why he didnt clean all the shmoo in valve cover
What's wrong with too tight?
@@silversonic99 Well, among other things, you can crack the valve cover. Then there is the issue of achieving a proper seal.
@Milhaus so, nothing then? Because you'd have to REALLY over tighten them for that to happen. I was expecting to hear some sort of sensor would be messed up or something
@Milhaus ok that's fair
Audi be like: this is our new long-life oil change intervals 😂
Nice! One of the few where you work on the car and not talk about doing work. You are actually a skilled mechanic!
My mans Scotty is the coolest mechanic ever. Dude is fixing cars with sunglasses on lol.
Why does it sound like he is in a shop? But he is outside his house? 🤔
Sounds like construction on a neighboring house to me.
I was waiting for someone to say something
Are you related to Carlos Bocanegra?
It's called ambience,. You know, like that waterfall stuff people like to listen to as they fall asleep?
psychology! he's also wearing a shop shirt too
Scotty we love your videos buddy !!
Keep making them please! 👍
I am not a mechanic but i love watching Scotty TH-cam channel just to learn something new in 2020 i will be seeking knowledge.
Best part of the video:
Take out stupid cover off.
Watching you working on that 2001 Camry with 180k miles on it was like a flashback from my 2005 Altima with 130k miles. Almost all the same problems; door handle, suspension, valve cover and gasket, motor mount, etc. Weird!
Anytime a customer brings in a Toyota, it completely makes Scotty's day.
That generation camry is one of the most reliable!
Hell yeah, especially the 2.2 engine, it is called "immortal" by many =)
He changes his camera view more than a Hollywood movie. Someone should let him try to make a real movie. Hes got talent.
It's not bad. I think he did that to try to make the video more interesting. Go watch the older stuff if change like every sentence
Scotty cameos as a mechanic 👍🏻👍🏻
“We can twirl them off by hand!” Oh Scotty, you’re getting fancy in your 53rd year of service. 🤗🤗🤗
i had to change the Valve seal gasket for a 06 Honda, scared shitless to avoid anything getting in the head and fought tooth and nail truing to get the spark plug gaskets off the cover being afraid to chip/break anything, Scotty over here quick wipe/ hammer smash, i wish i seen this sooner
180k miles is the break-in period on Toyotas and Hondas.
D'yer Maker yep and for domestics it’s the last days
I love that the door handle is broken off, just like my 2001 camry lol
Is nobody going to talk about his cat pillows
Konaa Those pillows are the cats’ pajamas!
I use to have one of this lol
If you watch his vids regularly they are old news
No! Those are great!
well Ya,seen em sitting in the window in the background watching Dad yell into the one eyed thingy and yelling stupid like when I pee on the floor.
Toyota just changed the game (how I wrecked my Celica)
My first car was a 1992 Toyota Vista VX with 290,000 miles that matched my age but ran great despite having oil baked into thick crunchy chips in the head and corroded water jacket that leaked into a cylinder, I discovered while fixing an oil gasket leak. Over the years, I changed a worn distributor cap, failed radiator top tank, front wheel bearings, and the occasional blown radiator hose. I did my own work and gained mad respect for the older Toyota 4 cylinders. I retired the car when it would die when I splashed in a puddle and wouldn't restart until after you sat patiently for 5-10mins and try again. There would be no water in the engine bay. I never found the problem.
You described every car I've ever owned. At around 22nd car. Got my license in 01. This was a Good Video
At 100,000 miles, that oil may be old enough to mine for diamonds.
Nice Joke
That is not how diamonds work. In fact, the longer you wait, the more diamond decomposes.
@@A_Box maybe in the cylinder head where the pressure is
@@A_Box Diamonds decompose? That's news to me. Other than extreme heat, what causes them to decompose?
@@stephenarling1667 Nothing. Heat just accelerates the process. The structure itself is not stable at room temperature and 1 atmosphere. It just takes very long to do so.
Awesome video! “Post apocalyptic car” love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like Toyota getting their act together in the background 🔊😂🕪👍
I built the ole 4.0 straight six in my Jeep, and all I ever run is royal purple with rislone zinc additive and a FACTORY mopar filter. I have a little less than 13000 miles on it and runs great.
Scotty you're the man. You break down car knowledge like a math problem. I'm learning a lot. Thanks as always.
This is a great video. Showing how to do it. Very practical. More like these!?
Where i live there's some wheelchairs with 125cc engines that goes on 80km/h. The guy have no legs but use the chair on the road on max speed
Sounds like they're building a skyscraper next to your house Scotty
Lmao. He dubbed car repair noise into the video. So dumb
Hello scotty
I have a Toyota corolla 1995 in Sydney Australia with 200,000 kilometres/124274 miles . I love your channel. I have picked up a lot of tips thanks
Just want to thank you, I have learned a lot. I use CRF 505 and I notice a difference.
