Does this work for older vehicles with a carburetor?
I was really impressed with how the oil additive worked.
But I used the gas treatment twice and my gas mileage has gotten worse each time. Also a loss of power on 2007 4Runner.
Could the spark plugs have been effected? Do you have any idea what to look at?
Dad never respected the temperature gauge in his then new Jaguar XJ6 Series 3. Lucas Electrical systems (when working) needed fire extinguishers & be home before dark!
I'm just here for Scotty knowledge 😊😊😊
Scotty drives em like he stole em, like a great mechanic does
Had this problem, bought the 505 product, drove on highway at high speed for 1 hr. My car hasn't stalled since, and it runs smoother too. 1995 Toyota.
Thanks, Scotty!
Was it a relatively neglected engine?
@@SilverSin no. Last 7 years was only in dense huge city traffic, idling endlessly. Moved away, can drive normally now.
glad you are still with us Scotty. i tell others to watch you.
I tell others about him also.
I too tell others about him
Thank you so much Scotty!!❤ I hope I get to meet you someday!! Hope you're well!
Love this stuff.
The gas treatment did wonders to my 99 5.3 Silverado.
Thanks for the daily videos, Scotty. Your energy level is incredible.
yeah!
Your*
@@garlicbread4236 Sorry, I will fix that.
@@garlicbread4236 Sorry about that. I fixed it now.
What "additive" is Scotty on? 😂
Yeah, my Honda Fit tells you the outside temp, but there is no engine temp gauge. I think knowing the engine temp is more important than the weather.
That's insane to me. I can go in my menu on the dash and check all kinds of data for the engine, transmission and battery without even using a scan tool. That should be required on vehicles IMO. Driving around having no idea how warm your engine is is a bad idea.
No oil or coolant temp or anything?
There is a blue icon when the engine is cold that goes out once the engine has reached operating temp. Not sure what it does if the engine overheats. Otherwise there is nothing to tells you the engine temp, and nothing at all about oil.
@rancid216 that is wild I love honda but wtf cmon
Well said
Thanks Scotty I have fixed so much with cars watching your videos
People will say he's full of crap but I asked the mechanic , And he did not want me to know❤, thanks Scott
I bought a car from a friend who had problems with the car, he had it back at the dealer several times but they couldn't fix it so they gave him a great deal on another car. The car was only a couple of years old and had low miles, almost all highway miles. I only paid a few hundred bucks for it. The dealer first replaced the computer, distributer and eventually the top end but it spit sputtered and died sometimes, especially when you were in a hurry. I went to pick it up with a friend as I was driving it home, I had the hood up and asked my friend to start it, when he did I noticed the distributer turned, I let it idle, grabbed a ten mm wrench and tightened it down, never had another issue with the car, tires, air filters and oil change was the only thing I did too it for the next four or five years, finally sold it when the CV joints started making noise, for a huge profit. Right time, right place I guess.
That's awesome man, glad you spotted the issue. I'll betcha the dealer did to but they were betting on you taking that other car and wrapping you into some more payments. Good deal man I wojlda kept it still haha
Good video Scotty! You should do an episode specifically tailored to how to read the OBD info from a scanner to figure out what's going on with it. Lot's of people don't know how to make heads or tails out of basic OBD data.
He doesn't interpret anything it's the computer showing red or green which cheap obd2 scanners won't do
Diagnostic Tech is a year of school, after Auto Tech cert.... Hardly a 10 min yt video.
@@NomadGringoWrong….embarrassed for you
@@JEFFQUICKLE9 🤣🤣🤣🤏💩
This has helped me so much. Scotty is just amazing.
Thanks for the video Scotty. I got home today, time for Scotty!
LOVE all these Tricks to keep your car running great!! Thanks Scotty!!
Thanks for what you do Scotty. Appreciate all the videos you make.
That Subaru is made in Indiana about ten miles from Purdue University. A lot of the non mechanical parts are made in Austin Indiana, about 35 miles north of Louisville Kentucky.
So, buy a fully imported Japanese model if you want quality, not Black/Mexican labourers Union-protection apathy on wheels!
Lafayette, Indiana, just off of State Road 38.... AKA Main Street
Absolutely. GM & Ford in Australia here had to end car production in 2016 because of it.
@@lukespector5550tell that to the folks that work at Subaru kid!
Thank You for looking out for the People
Thank you for everything scotty WE Need You
Had a 2010 Subaru Outback, would stall out when breaking too fast coming to a compete stop. I’m guessing like this Subaru, wish I would have tried this. Drove it 357k before the head gasket blew. Great video!
King Scotty, you are a great human being, stay well, God Bless You !
Thanks.
I posted this before. I used this on my 250k car....Day two it broke some carb loose and took out af fuel injector. Yes...the stuff work! Car is a 2004 so was not hurt about the injector just replaced all 6 just took me a while to figure it and and to do it. Yes, great stuff!!!
It was only a year or two thar some models that had no temperature gauge. Buyers had the same reaction you do and they put it back. I wish cars would bring back electrical and oil gauges as well. I like to know what is going on.
I agree on my 1992 Ford Aerostar it had the oil temperature gauge, the engine temperature gauge, the alternator gauge and the fuel gauge. All vehicles should have them,
Yea don’t get it all 5 of my families Toyotas ranging in years from 07 to 2018 don’t have gauge’s all lights!
RAV4-Yaris-two Prius 2010&2018 and 2010 matrix
The only newish cars that I had that still had gauges were my 02 and 2010 focus’s along with alternator gauges
Yeah my o3 outback has it and love that!! My 11 outback does not and really annoys me!! That and not having a Manuel e-brake like my o3!! Lol Damn engineers!! Lol
We have the exact same model and year of Subaru, and it is doing the same thing. Thanks for the video.
Let us know if u used the ATS and if it resolved the issue. I am debating as its patent pending so what is it really and how strong can they make it. Almost seems they start off super diluted then gradually change the concentrate as inflation goes up.
@@onlyme8870 Kilmer's video sort of convinced me that my problem was dirty fuel injectors. However, I decided to try Royal Purple Fuel treatment, and I have definitely noticed that the hesitation when the car is cold is gone. Sorry, I have never been concerned about gas mileage so I do not know if that has improved.
You are the man brother...No body knows vehicles like you my man!!
Scotty Kilmer, you are the best in my opinion one of the best mechanics around you know about new cars old cars you give us suggestions you tell us what to try. It reminds me of my grandfather that knew a lot about engines in cars and diesel trucks and learn about jet engines And never had a high school diploma . He told me years ago when I was a little boy someday when I’m 60 some years old, they’re gonna have cars that get 60 miles to the gallon And he was right , you are the best I watch your videos every single day. I hope you have a long and happy life because if we don’t have you, we’re in trouble thanks for all your wonderful videos, and for taking the time to teach us all you are a good man I wish someday I could meet you !
Scotty, you should make a video on how to read live scan tool data
I agree. I would love to own one of those thousand dollar scan tools he has.
@@larryb5481 But will you buy one?
You can do the same to clean the particulate filter, especially diesel engines, put it in low gear depending on the speed and work the engine hard on then off do that until the engine light goes off, make sure the road is clear,
Thank you Scotty... god bless you always.
I have never come across this brand in Canada. I use Seafoam fuel treatment. It works fantastic.
@scottykilmer - In newer Subarus, the centre-top display has a configurable "favourites" screen where you can put both water and oil temperature gauges. The water one is just basic - Cold/Normal/Hot, the oil one is exact. Problem with that though is it's only useful if you have that particular gauge display up. There are only two mechanical gauges left in mine - speedo and tach, everything else is digital and on a screen. Would be nice if that had an option for exact water temperature always up on the gauge screen somewhere.
Scott your videos are awesome scotty have a 2011 dodge caravan v6 will shutoff may be 2 or 3 months cannot find what the problem is give it 20 minutes starts right up good for months must be at least 20 minutes thank you
I used this stuff before, didn't notice much difference. I did however, notice a difference after running some Berrymans Chemtool and non-ethanol fuel
wtf rick the hedgie innit
Subaru rebuilt our 2012 Impreza engine 3 times . Now our a/c is out and transmission is acting funky. You suck Subaru.
Where did you purchase it from?
Rick the Hedgie@@hhova29
Rislone and BG 44kplatinum and top tier gas for carbon deposit cleaning
Appreciate your knowledge
When you jump out of your car's trunk, I notice your 101st Airborne license plate. I'm also a former "Screaming Eagle" -- 11B 1969-70 2/327th 101 Vietnam. "Stay Alert, Stay Alive."
I use Lucas or Techron. They both worked for me.
Use Chevron Techron..it works like a charm...
Hi Scotty, thank you for all your sage advice. Have you encountered any downsides or problems with using the ATS fuel and engine oil treatments? Are there circumstances when they should be avoided?
Another Great Video Scotty. Don, California. 1-29-2024.
So, an "Italian tune up" to help clean the engine. BRILLIANT! I prefer CHEVRON TECHRON fuel additive, AND always using CHEVRON fuel which also contains this cleaner.
I use Royal purple and it works really well
binge watching your videos tonight awesome stuff
8:15 - I miss the videos from Houston! The construction noises, the tighter yard and driveway space. Ahhhh, those were the days.
Scotty’s house and the neighbor’s were torn down in Houston. Both have town houses on the lots with the neighbor now having a tan Fiat 500 in the driveway if you google it. Ironic.
@@HARRUMPH-SAL Wow ok that's funny! A Fiat is now there. Ok so I have to ask you - is your screen name a throwback to Blazing Saddles?
100% Blazing Saddles. I didn't get a HARRUMPH outta' that guy!
@@HARRUMPH-SALHaha! Thought so. Nice.
You are amazing person. I really learned a lot from you. Thank you !
Appreciate it.
Scotty is the best. God bless.
We need a “Scotty” in every county in the U.S. Auto mechanics and dealerships are ripping us off!
Appreciate the efforts and daily informative videos! But Scotty I’m wondering what car made after 2000 (not truck!) has a actual temp gauge? Cuz my brothers 07 rav4 and my 08 Yaris and my parents 2 Prius’s 2010&2018
And my old 2010 matrix
DID NOT they all have dummy lights and yes sadly by time it comes on or if it even does it could be too late!
Also same with alternator charge/battery power and oil pressure no gauges! (Same dummy light!)
God blessed you Scotty our best👌 mechanic!
That Subaru Outback engine shake when engaging reverse....... something else that used to be different when engaging reverse was that the AC would engage automatically to keep seals bathed and prevent degradation. I don't know if modern cars for last fifteen years still do this though. Is it possible that in extreme cold that the refrigerant won't be in gaseous state but will remain in liquid state ?
High Scotty love your vids, I'm having a problem with 2004 Honda Pilot it is high miles 300K but runs out great and trans works good when it shifts most of the time, but some times I put it in drive and it's like neutral I drop into L1 or L2 and it will take off and i shift it manually it goes good but drive it around some and the next stop I make it's like it falls out of gear repeat the manual shift and its fine, I have replaced the dual trans solenoid four time from Ebay parts it would work for a short time wk or two and go back to the same problem so I was told only OEM new from Honda would work so I shelled out the $600.00 it lasted about a month and now same old deal, now I do have a code that comes on again sporadic that is VTM-4, and eng ck symbol but the don't stay on I replaced the sending unit for that didn't change anything. But I or my wife still drive it daily it is a good little car would love to save it .Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome stuff!
What software and diagnosing equipment are you using in the video?
Awesome ❤Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for telling Subaru Scotty.
Thanks scotty
I have heard that when a transmission acts up only when it is put in reverse that its a sign that the filter is clogged and replacing the filter will often solve the problem ?
Good show 👍
You're the Man!
Nice video. Maybe clean the throttle body as well
I prefer BG44k. I’ve been using it for over 30 years and notice a significant difference in the level of carbon buildup when rebuilding engines.
Best Additive I've ever used is "Lucas" upper cylinder lubricant. Best thing ever for all engines.
I wish they shipped this additive to Australia. I use gumout instead and it seems to do the job.
Try seafoam in the tank. It really works
I tried some of the 505 CRF cleaner in both my 2017 Accord EX-L V-6/6MT and 1995 Civic DX. Didn't seem to make too much difference with the Accord but definitely noticed an improvement in the Civic, especially uphill in part-throttle conditions.
Probably because the '17 had a clean fuel system.
@@CadillacDriver Maybe. But it was still worth trying IMO...
BG 44K treatment is my preferred choice nothing better
U are extremely great thumbs up sir for all your service we appreciate you sir
great video
My friend has a 2013 Mazda 3 with a 2.0L Skyactiv engine. Great little car but drives me crazy that it also doesn't have a temperature gauge.
@@TopClips7777 that's just a strange reply. I'll get back with you when I figure out what you're saying...bro. Are you my bro or an imposter?
@@Michael-se2ii sober up lady
Im a believer in enertech labs gasrx product. That lab was hired to take a massive anount of rotten turned fuel (in a monster tank) into burnable fuel. It breaks down water from parts per thousand to parts per million. Stabil, startron and all the others are meant to make fuel last longer. Gasrx makes old ethanol gas burn again.
Castrol has (had) a product named route 66 (if i remember right) that did the same thing. Gas-rx was suing them for steeling there formula (last i knew). There in Buffalo Ny, i buy it at Fastenal and marinas usually have it. Or from the lab themselves.
No o dont work for them or get any compensation by recommending them. Ive had a small engine shop for 14 years and dealt with bad gas the whole time. Ive had 25 ft boats with full twin gas tanks and the stuff really works.
3:00 pic of botle of .
Thx Scotty. Looking forward to trying it on our GMC Sierra K1500 4x4. I echo commenters re OBD, would be great to have an OBD reader Clinic-- how to interpret the codes! I borrow the one from AutoZone & Advance Auto Parts-- it displays 2~3 codes
My '21 Legacy has a temperature gauge! It also shows my oil temperature on the infotainment screen at the top.
As my 2015 Legacy
As does my '14 Forester and my '24 Outback.
Puerto Ricans love scotty❤🇵🇷
I had similar problem found out my girl was running e85 in it and filling it up every couple of weeks e85 goes bad in days stopped using it never had problem again.
I know my car does that when I get to close to needing an oil change. It will run rough and they replaced the sensor but did not do an oil change so the issue came back. I told them I thought it needed an oil change but they did not listen so I have not been back since.
Thanks Scotty for all these videos and your hard work!
What about worn CV joints being grumpy in reverse when it's cold?
I seem to remember this happening with one of my cars, years ago.
vibrating in reverse.
jack each wheel, turn it backwards.
could be a brake issue.
stuck caliper/drum piston.
Try cleaning the throttle body. Very common on Subaru. Causes them to idle bad. We deal with it all the time.
Temperature and rpm gages are essential to me.
Hi, I have that particular car (although not the pheV) and Idle is high, around 1500 RPM when cold... Then comes back to normal when warm. Also, fuel consumption gauge tells me it's consuming lots of gasoline everytime it's not moving.
Seems like a bad sensor?
No check engine signal..
thanks for the help and very informative videos!! :)
That's actually normal in cold, but rpms should go down after a minute or two.
Tap the gas pedal and rpms will go down if you dont feel like waiting.
That is true l,,, Subaru should put back the temperature gauges
I always use Tier 1 gas. Fuel system cleaner a few times a year. And check and change the air filter!
OK Scotty, What do you use to clean GDI engines?
This stuff actually works. I gained 2 mpg more on a 07 Impala ss. Pretty impressive.
I use Royal Purple Clean Fuel System Cleaner & Stabilizer in both my 2012 VW Tiguan and my 2006 Chrysler 300C. Afterwards, I find ttat taking the vehicle on a run with high rpms blows out whatever gums uo the system.
Scotty for President...
I want a follow-up on this car in one month and six months.
Scotty is awesome. I tell everyone about him
I have recently added the Seafoam fuel additive before I saw Scotty's videos about it. I'm going to try the ATS 505. Where can we buy it in Canada? I'm driving a 2018 Grand Caravan with around 64,000KM on it. bought it used. I've even had the engine cut out on me a few times. It restarted right away. Hopefully the additive helps.
Thanks for this video! Where can I get this 505crf stuff? Is that "for pro mechanics only"?
Update: looks like you can only buy direct and pay $60 plus shipping plus possibly tax? Thanks, I'm going to stick to $8 Chevron techron.
Nice 👍
I have a 2004 Mitsubishi, and I had a similar problem with stalling randomly at lights or first starts. I tried additives and even had new coils installed on account of oil leaking from the rocker cover. Still stalled after that. So, I turned off the stereo. Stalling stopped! I had a new head unit fitted when I bought the car, fitted by an auto electrician. So I can only guess maybe it's drawing on the battery or the speakers don't match with it. Has anyone heard of this before?
I love to see a guy who loves his work. Have you ever seen anyone who loves cars and figuring them out more than Scotty does? No. He's great 🏆
I know a lot of people use Sea Foam but it doesn't really do anything for the fuel system. I've found it's really good to use in the crankcase to clean out any oil sludge or residue especially in lawn mower engines.
True. ✅
should have a temp gauge if any car does... let you know when the head gaskets are leakin or heads start cracking lol
Always look forward to Scotty’s videos.However , I often wonder whether Americans get confused between miles and kilometres. The numbers he quotes seem a little high for some vehicles. Just wondering. Comments please.
Hey Scotty, I added the fuel system cleaner and it caused the bottom of the sock on my fuel pump to be clogged on the bottom resulting in extreme rough idling and no power when fuel level drops below about an eighth of a tank. Filter did its job but the cleaner caused this problem. I pulled the gas tank and replaced the entire fuel pump that came with a new filter sock and it fixed the problem when fuel got low.
Um fuel system cleaner dodnt puttrash in your fuel tank😂😂😂
The cleaner did not cause the problem. The cleaner dislodged the crap that was in the system and that crap caused the problem as it was flushing. That means the cleaner was doing its job.
i need advice from scotty....does he recommend upgrading to a better performing ECU
Scotty kilmer you truly an Blessing to your viewers and subscribers
Did you ever do any videos on older toyota Rav 4 I have a 1998 runs ok it's no power house reverse is getting weak but it goes thru the hills in east ky like a tank. Never sounds a wheel
Scotty I have a 2011 dodge caravan that has a transmission issue with either a idle problem or a shifting
Problem It seems like there is slack
Between gears when coasting on
Level ground, I hope I made sense in
My issue… thanks… 🤷♂️
I believe you once recommended the Gumout Tune-up before. Is the 505 CRF a better product?
