I'm glad I found your videos. I'm a shade tree mechanic. My Father has been showing how to work on cars since I was 15yrs old. I like the fact that you make everything simple. Keep up the good work and I'll see you under the shade tree. LOL
It's Dennis Hopper from Easy Rider again XD
I'm 20, grewup with wrenches, watched your videos and inspired by them to do my own work, became more confident and I am currently working at an auto repair shop, ongoing 3 years doing big jobs! Thanks for all ya do, scotty!
Glad to hear it, thanks for the support!
Isjix i'm 22 i just want to fix my own car, how do i learn?
ccoo oocc Buy tools and watch videos and try small repairs/maintenance on your own car.
I'm 17 and grew up with a mechanically challenged family, they all get so impressed when I replace my cracked radiator or install keyless entry when it's a matter of copying TH-cam videos
An honest mechanic is like gold dust. I try to watch all your videos as you offer sound advice and i feel i've learned something every time. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the support 👍
+Scotty Kilmer
u make a often painful subject actually a pleasure to learn about. 🍀 have a great Springtime Scotty!
This guy is the best!! Scotty, Whenever I have a problem, I look you up, "so I can keep reving my engine"!
3:27 You messed up Scotty, if you slow the video down realllly slow, you can read the book and not have to buy it!
Scotty, you're an amazing man. An honest mechanic is hard to come by these days. I'm a shade tree mechanic and I learn a lot from watching your videos. Keep up the great work that you do.
A clean comment after a video about dirty fluids
barejohn59 ha ha ha LMAO
perv
Hey Scotty. I really appreciate the "mechanic mondays" videos. Long time fan. Thank you.
thanks for the support!
I need a good mechanic that won't do unnecessary work and bleed me dry!! Thanks for all the videos 👍
Brian, here in Port Ore., I can recommend one. Otherwise should you live elsewhere, the Car Talk Guys web site is still up where local listeners leave great responses of their local car blue glove dudes. Honestly, it is a pretty good resource community chat comment thing. I picked my mechanic by his being able to bridge the car generation from Carberated Asperated Combustion engines to the superior computer calculated injection and asperperated improved wind pushers. We all are luckuy enough to witness the coming electrical motor battery fueled power to come. Give me solar sooner than waiting please. You all, don't bother reading this as I am on a wandering rant. Yeah Scotty!
I'm a ASE certified diesel tech and still love watching your videos.
Hey Scotty, I've been watching your videos for a couple years now but never commented. My dad was a mechanic for over 40 years and I was only starting to really get into preventative maintenance/mechanic work a little bit before he passed away (late 2013). It's ridiculous how much you two would have seen eye to eye on things. Please keep up these great videos. Im lucky if this comment gets read but now that I even know you have a book it's getting bought
Sorry to hear about your father, but thanks for the support and for watching
I just found your channel because my kia 06 is over heating and i just instantly feel in love with your channel. I mean i went so far back to see some of your vids in 2010. Keep up the good work. This millennial is loving the wisdom!
Scotty I watched all your videos and I can say you are a true inspiration and genius never in my life have I been so humbled so informed because of you I want to become a mechanic you're my inspiration to never give up. Can I please have your book so I can teach others
Thanks for the support!
Scotty Kilmer your true American Hero and I hope to follow in your footsteps someday can you please list the sunglasses that you have I'd like to buy a pair just like them so I'm always reminded of greatness forgive me for having a tear in my eyes.
This is why i like scotty’s vids. Clear concise and easy to follow. No overly technical stuff.
6th Tip of the Top 5: maintain your tires at correct air pressure & invest in a decent tire air pressure gauge.
Scotty rocks!! Been watching ur videos since smartphones exist.
Im 39 and owned a 4th hand car for 9 months now. Last year, I enrolled in the driving school and got my driver's license after that. I still have a lot to learn about driving and car maintenance. 3 days ago I started searching in TH-cam for additional knowledge and came to your channel. You have awesome videos and very informative. Very useful for people like me. I love it when you said about, "Learn from others mistakes", and "You will save a lot of bucks". As from a saying in the movie "Ghandi", we don't realize that people like you walk upon the face of the earth. Again thanks a lot ;)
I'm glad I stumbled upon your video a while back, I was able to change my alternator and my CV boot for my Camry, and learn some much about 🚗
Trey Sky300 oh hell no I wouldn't do that much work for a Camry
Bmw M3 e46 I suppose you have a point, but everybody got to start somewhere 🚗😬
I had a mechanic like Scotty but he retired 5 years ago.
Still looking for one.
I barely started learning about car maintenance and all that , but swear if anytime I got a car problem or question I just come to your channel didn't know squat in the beginning but little by little I'm learning and well now I'm about doing all the simple stuff myself instead of going out and paying for it to be done. Glad I found your TH-cam Channel way back when Skotty, and by all means keep posting .
Scotty, I must say I just love your channel. It is very informative and it is mind boggling how you know so much. Have a nice day.
Thanks for the support!
Awesome videos. I always tell my friends who dont take care of their cars to watch your videos. That way they realize how important maintenance is
Your no-nonsense advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
Scotty Kilmer for President!
DEX435 he's already been President.
Of THE TRAILER HOME PARKS
You sir are awesome. Common Sense car knowledge. You remind me of my uncle and he was a very big car guy. You've helped me out a lot to with my auto repairs.
I love watching Scotty’s videos and learning new stuff. I have a 2018 Toyota Camry with 76,400+ miles (Yeah, I used to do Uber and Lyft) and I practically did everything these past couple of weeks. I changed all four tires, cleaned my entire fuel system including Fuel Injectors, I changed my transmission fluid, my brake fluid, I flushed my radiator fluid and added a new one, changed my battery, all air filters, replaced all the spark plugs, wiper blades, and changed my oil at Valvoline. I love keeping my cars in top condition. It’s what moves me around.
Thank you so much scotty for emailing me back fast! Jonatha From London will continue to spread the ward around my bus garage
Just found this channel and have been marathon watching Scotty. I need this info. Thanks.
Thanks for the support!
Love you Scotty you have the best quick car videos explains so well. Thanks for helping me with my car issues/questions!
Definitely need to inspect the drive belt. Without the belt, the power steering is a no go.
a broken belt wont damage the pump, but bad fluid absolutely will.
You should do all the maintenance for the car, as described in the manual. Things not mentioned in this vid - brake fluid, pads, filters, valve clearance, regular inspection of car underbody, suspension, brakes, etc.
Sorry, but checking the belt should be on the list.
xdygmnyrdf
The thing with suspension, brakes, underbody etc sure they need to be checked but once they're worn you change them. Brakes are not expensive and you o Ly get bad brake fluid if there is a hole in the line or you're doing high performance driving to really cause the brake fluid to ware out faster from running the brakes at higher temperatures. Suspension will go faster based on if you live in a place where the roads are extremely bad compared to if you live where there is smooth roads. Basically this video was about important upkeep of drivetrain components and having the car look good. Chances are if you are waxing your car religiously, then most likely it's garage kept and you're washing the salt from underneath if you're living in an area with snow and they use salt.
This is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
Really good videos. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now. There are so many useful things that you cover in such a small video that it's kind of addicting to watch them.
Man I love your videos. I just binge watch it all!
Hi Scotty,
My 5.
Engine oil when dirty.
All fluids every 5 years. Deslugde engine every 5 years.
New spark plugs every 5 years.
Drive smoothly. No charging at red lights. Scan ahead and plan ahead to avoid unneccesary stopping and restarting.
Good point to remember as I want to keep my cars for a long time too.
I used to watch your channel and enjoyed it. I was offline for a couple years and your channel was the first on my subscribe list. The best video's next to kombi life.
Thanks for the support!
You deserve it.
I love you honest, no nonsense videos. They've helped me a lot in maintaining my cars and diagnosing problems.
i really like your videos, they have helped me a lot to fix all of my cars and my family's cars also.
Maintenance tip #6 for getting your cars to last a long time - don't let your kids or wife drive them.
drbrono
Hahaha.
drbrono Truth!
not so much the wife unless they're horrible drivers and have a cell phone addiction but the 16 year old that likes going fast is what's gonna wear it up lol ask me I'm only 19 and own 2 sportbikes for a reason
_Correction:_
Require your kids or wife to watch Scotty Kilmer before driving your car.
Great
Thanks for all the help you've provided over the years!
Clean non offensive comment
I find your attempt at humour offensive...
clean non offensive comment
as clean as coal.
Scotty your great for non mechanically inclined folks. But i know your knowledge base could be helpful for those whom are like myself. I hope if i win your book, it'll contain info that an industrial maintence pro would actually not know.
Watching these has helped me tremendously over the years. Thank you for putting these on TH-cam!!!
Hi Mr Kilmer.I am from India and I love watching your vdo's.Didnt know that the Powersteering fluids were so important. Thanks for the same

@@isorozco511 u livin under a rock?
sreedhar jandhyala india only has elephants not cars
Dont forget spark plugs and air filter too
spark plugs can last a life time, unless you got a faulty spark plug.
Lifetime? what? XD
What is lifetime? Infinite miles? Nothing lasts forever.
Fu Sensei intelligent you are
figure of speech, like wait a sec
I watch these videos all the time. These videos have helped me to learn how to do my own maintenance and not worrying about getting screwed by taking my car to a shop. Seems like every time I take my car, needs a bunch of stuff I didn’t even know about.
Have subscribed your channel for a while. Hoping to win your signed book. Keep up the great work!
I have a digital version of that book, but I don't mind having the physical copy.
Scotty, your videos have helped me in maintaining my cars. You are an awesome, wise man!.
*I used to wax my car Every Week when I was in Highschool, Now I'm lucky to do it once a Year. Ahaha how life changes*
Jonny DIY Are you talking about waxing a car, or sex with the wife? Lol
Both
Your car probably has so much wax built up on it from those weekly waxing the paint will be protected for a while
+The Open Road. Hahah I definitely wrote it with some sexual overtones, it's got a double entendre thing going on lol.
Even if i use polymer wax, i'm still doing it every 2 weeks. Cauz' you know....just looks better!
How do you change power steering fluid and flush the coolant, Scotty can you do a video on this that will be really appreciated
bull damn mine is a pain in the butt to change
I believe he has videos already on how to change it. What kind of car you got?
EFsedan91LX I have a 2011 Toyota Camry le
Thank you for all of your videos. Scotty Kilmer and Chris Fix are the best mechanics out there.
I love you scotty (hope this is not offensive to your wife)
Poloboy Marco aslong as you bring something to drink or eat you can "swingby scottys place" she wont mind
😐😂😂😂😂
Make sure to give him some flowers 💐
Beam me up Scotty.
You're simply the best video guide to all vehicle owners.... More power and keep revvving your engines!!!👍👍👍
This is a comment. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Jerkwad152 Without you, this comment is useless. Without this comment, you are useless
Jerkwad152 I would leave a comment but I dont have any more 😔
The only book I'm down to read this semester 👌👌
Always great pointers Scotty! No Nonsense, just honest and practical Solutions. Thanks for posting!
And don't forget to change the fluid in your tyres at least once a year!!
Waxing car 4 times a year is a really good idea
mitura123 I'm lucky if I was mine twice a year.
I use spray wax often and regular wax once or 2x a year. It's not my daily driver, and I keep my car covered. That should be fine.
I totally agree with you scotty, we have toyota sequoia and its regularly oil change on engine, transmission, differential, steering fluid and even coolant. Now the Odometer reading is now nearly 700k km but still running like a dream.
You should create an online mechanics institute. A month full of lessons every day.
Ill buy it if I don't win it.
Kenneth Weber same
Hey Scotty, your shared knowledge is appreciated.
I am putting a nice clean comment . so I deserves this legendary book . pleeeease
Scotty your the greatest WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ed rivera he really is. I love his videos.
ed rivera you're*
Scotty Kilmer you are my hero everytime I have trouble with my car I always watch your videos you inspire me to be a mechanic I wanna be just like u !!!!!!
dont forget to change the blinker fluid
ian4serena ...Oh, I knew I was forgetting something! I must do that soon. 😉 😂
Isn’t that just for BMW’s!!!
ian4serena yes, very important
Scotty rocks
Brilliant Scotty. Simple advice but extremely important.
I do not trust those life time fluids too
Hi my name is Comment and I am offended
E W "your" not "you're" asswipe 🤔
Hi Scotty.i own a Toyota Prius 2012 model.its been used as a taxi in England since it was 6months old.great car..235.000 miles now.change the oil every 20k.castrol magnatec oil.never changed the water or power steering fluid.will next service.great car best car I've owned.mercedes are not as good as they use to be..thanks for all your information on cars.very useful
I hate transmission pans with no drain plug.
Its nice to loosen a pan and have hot transmission fluid run down your arm.
Yup. No drain plug in my F-150. After however many times I dealt with that BS during the 300K mi. I’ve put on it, I just pay to have the guys down at the quickie lube joint do it, although I still have them show me the pan magnet to see if or how much metal she’s shedding.
I changed fluid in a grand cherokee and found a 2 inch piece of steel in it.Surprisingly it still operates fine.I just enjoy moving exhaust just to remove a transmission pan.
Great video
@@norcaldeemichaels Good idea. That's one way to be relatively sure that they actually had the pan off.
#6 on the list ... Keep your tires properly inflated. Check air pressure monthly, or when you wash the car.
Thanks Scotty you the best.
Your videos are very easy to understand and your passion for cars really shows plus your personality gives it that extra push to be more daring to get under that hood and just have fun fixing and learning . Thank you so much.
