      25,000 mile oil changes aren't a joke Scotty,this is why I use Amsoil OW-30 weight in my Frontier,this truck calls for 5W-30 weight oil,the OW-30 weight is FULLY compatible with OW-30 and this oil flows better at below zero temperatures.
      Amsoil has a guarantee that if it is found that the oil failed,Amsoil oil will pay for all damages to your car, no one has ever filed a claim against Amsoil,because the oil failed and damaged their car in any way shape or form,engines transmissions,power steering,brake systems since April 1972.(Amsoil is established)

      there’s two things in transmission fluid you either flush it or change flushing it is taking out the old fluid and pumping new fluid when you change it all you do is remove some like 1/3 to get some new fluid in the system flushing and changing and maintenance is all depending on what your owner’s manual says of the car now if the fluid is burnt or very dirty and black and has metallic specs it’s because those metal specs are pieces of clutch material if you were to say flush that dirty fluid with all those metal specs gone the transmission might slip because since the fluid wasn’t being changed and it got to that point the only thing keeping it running were those metal specs removing them will cause slipping best thing to do is maintain when you are supposed don’t let your fluid get black or burnt flushing it when it’s time to flush or change when you have to change

    1) Clean your battery terminals and apply some battery protection spray
    2) Change your oil regularly 3 to 5 thousand miles using manufacture spec oil
    3) Check and change your coolant as necessary. Check what works for your car
    4) Change the transmission fluid every 60-80,000 miles
    5) Flush your brake fluid every 4/5 years. A well made car (Like his Celica 😂) he’s never changed the fluid in however
    6) Power steering fluid-check it out and make sure it’s not dirty. Change it out every 8-9 years.
    7) Check your tires air pressure first thing in the am (cold pressure). Check for Dryrot.
    That’s it!

    Hi Scotty, you forgot about one item, granted, it's not for all cars, but a lot of them:
    The timing belt.
    A lot of cars from between 1990 and 2010 have belt driven timing, and most of those are interference engines.
    It is critical to replace the timing belt every 5 years or 60000 miles at most, or you can kiss your engine goodbye once it snaps.

      @user-hw8xs1bs6s 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TRUTH! to check -
      if your car sputters when starting, turn it off and restart. if restart produces no sputtering, now this means your timing belt is stretched, varying the timing which is off at times which actually means, the timing is off and you are risking timing belt breaking, resulting in piston slamming into the piston= R.I.P. any motor w timing belt.
      told this to a gal, when I noticed the sputtering. she'd restarted ran smooth. told her it was serious and she needs to get a new timing belt asap or motor will go bye bye.
      she shrugged it off. this was summer. by Nov of same year, belt broke compressed air in cylinder without belt to open valve to release pressure via exhaust , resulting in exhaust going up he intake route which blew out her plastic intake manifold, in addition to the piston walking the valve bending valve, which basically means good by to a used old motor due to being cheaper to replace e w a used motor, vs repairing the broken motor. this all would've been avoided, by getting a new timing belt installed. car would've driven much much longer. it was a intrepid 2.2Lif memory is correct.

      Timing belts are neither good nor bad. They are a necessary maintenance item like an oil change. However, your skills and pocketbook come into play. I changed my belt and all related items in the spring - $350 and one day of my time (experienced mechanic). The same job in a shop was quoted at between $800 and $1,000. Just decide before you buy if you are OK with the work or $ .
