Hey scotty,
I live in europe and i want to prepare a car for amateur rally, i was thinking about a peugeot 106 or a citroen saxo. Can you give me some advices.
Hey Scotty I am looking for a pickup truck. The Toyota’s are pretty expensive. Any other companies that make good pickup trucks?
You can really blow the gunk out of an engine on I10 west of San Antonio, some people don’t even acknowledge the speed limit out there lol
@@chipper5267 he said Ford F 150
This video is saying to drive like a Pruis owner the first 500 miles
Rev up your engines...after 500 miles or so
😂😂
🤣🤣
Lol
LMFAOOOO 😂😂
💀
Jaguars don't need a break in period because they're already broken. 🤣
Classic! I'ma use that on my brother about his new Charger
As a Jaguar owner, I find this funny yet not true. 🤔
🤣😂😭
N M Not true? From what I understand European cars accumulate more miles vertically them horizontally!
same for FIAT
Manufacturers are cutting weight while drivers and passengers are gaining it. It's a lose/gain situation.
JS Mariani 😂isn’t that the truth
Lol good observation
That's right ppl have become fat fks.
AMEN, BROTHER! LOL!!!
Actually, new cars r getting heavier cuz of tech and safety no?
Hell will freeze over before Scotty manages to fit any of his cars in his garage...
Little tough to take this guy seriously, with the backround being a shithole....
Jason K he probably has enough money to buy any car he wants. He used to be on TV.
Jason K hes a millionaire so hes doing something right....
@@jasonk3038 You should see my uncle's front, side and back yards. He has over 14 million dollars worth of other property though.
My Man Scotty.
You give such good tips & Advice..
Keep it up.
no1: Dont drive it outside the dealership, you ll lose a big chunk of its value !!
@@DangTh3Man Happened to me !!!!
Uhm, I think you mean, don't sell it after a short period of time, who on earth would buy a car they aren't ever going to drive off the lot?
@@greebj smarter thing is to look for those under 5k miles on the clock used cars. But if you want a new car, you want a new car 😁
Mazdas here in my country so believe it or not mildly used ones are more expensive than new ones because there's high demand and long waiting lists at dealerships.
Alexander T as soon as you sign the paperwork it loses value
Crashing it is a pretty big no no!
Make it last as long as possible.
one of the advantages of owning n driving an old beater / junker. get into accident, crash it, fix it , if possible. if not, junk it n get another junker / beater.
“Then she got mad at me”...
😂 the story of our lives.
Haha if she's mad at you that's a good thing 🤣
Rev up your engines (to 3500 to 4000 RPM, don’t hit the red line limiter).
Some TH-camr bought a brand new car and started doing pulls on it (WOT). Then he started complaining about hearing a knock in the engine lmao.
StangMode? 😂
Oh Scotty! You're killin' me, Smalls! The most genuine guy on the 'net. You remind me so much of an old friend, man. Glad I found you here. Wish I would have years ago.
I agree! Great content
Timothy Foley certainly agree
When I was a car salesman almost everyone floored and redlined the new cars on test drives. The porters and other salesman often did this too!
That's not the kind of car I would be interested. Because it would be mostly dangerous and impossible to redline 300 hp cars.
Scotty has taught me so much about cars. LONG LIVE SCOTTY!
@@LXBKG I think I heard he just turned 65.
Bro said it like Scotty was dead lol
Scotty you forgot to mention the owner's manual. People need to read the freakin owner's manual!
That's the worst thing you can do to a car's manual is to read it .... They put it in the glovebox so you can leave it there for years unopened .
@@ranomshiit7402
Haha I guess that must be the consensus. I've even had customers tell me they throw them away without reading them.
Oh yeah, 20 pages devoted to using the seatbelts.
That's the first thing I do if I buy a car is check the no manual to see what the recommended octane rating it recommends so I get the best performance and milage. Tips for buying a car buy a Bluetooth OBII scanner and buy the torque pro app that way you can see if there's any issues with the car, take a tire tread depth gauge to make sure the tires are safe. Last thing you wanna do is have to buy new tires after buying a car. If they look low ask the dealership to install them. Lastly take the car to a mechanic you trust and get an inspection done same with Carfax.
@@TheCowboy4000
I actually own tread depth gauges. People are always surprised to learn that they exist
I can't afford a new car, so why am I watching this?
1 you need 2000 doune payment 2 a steady job for exepnce 250-400 payments for five years and of course pay to get insurance all of that other needed stuff
Go get a nissan micra...brand new u cant afford that well my friend you would be lacking ambition 🙄
Do not call for the anew year get a new ride it's zero for the sale time but you which a contract that will cause some problems
I drive a 2004 Pontiac in good shape I'm fine with basic car gets me where I have to go nice V6 engine and nothing is over complicated on the car repairs are cheap and easy hell car passed inspection cause it's so simple of a vehicle. Sometimes it's better to go old then new depending on the condition plus since I switched to an older car my insurance is so cheap so I'm happy.
BECAUSE IT'S SCOTTY KILMER'S ADVICE! You never know, someone you know might buy a new car!
Congratulations on being the most watched automotive channel on you tube, I Love your content, and appreciate all of your knowledge and insights in helping us avoid costly mistakes. I will keep watching your videos as long as you keep making them. Never change Scotty.
Gotta love those pics in the background. "Bunghole Liquors" :)
THE HUMOR IS WELL PLANTED AND TO THE POINT!
Scotty, With those humurous slides on your computer, you could take this SHOW ON THE ROAD, like LARRY, (TOE-MATER), THE CABLE GUY. Have you called HBO yet?
I knew a few
Haha!!!
I actually lived across from that store.
Their selection is pretty crappy.
Good evening from Indonesia, Mr. Kilmer 🙏
I've revved up my Toyota today.
A Toyota always gets you home :)
UMR! UMR! UMR!
send my regards to Toyota Kijangs there!
Came here just for the images.... bonus is the knowledge shared.
bassandtrebleclef I do like his images, lol
I just googled 94 Celica and Scotty's video was the first thing that popped up!
When I purchased my new 2018 type R, the owner's manual did not have a specified break-in period. I contacted Honda corporate and they said 600 miles drive the car easy, don't brake hard, and after 600 mi drive it anyway you want. I'm up to 15,000 mi now and the car runs phenomenal.
I alway cringe when it’s 5 degrees outside and people where I work just jump in, start up and tear out off the parking lot. I mean tear out not partial throttle by any means. This is why I don’t like buying used cars.
@77MrAH Driving off immediately is fine, even good. Idling to warm the engine gives you a hot engine and a cold transmission/differential. Driving to warm the engine gets everything warmed up at a similar rate and therefore the temperature gauge is actually useful.
*However*, you should drive *gently*. Take it easy until the temp gauge has been in the operating range for a little while. How long depends on conditions: my old Civic is full-hot after a mile or so on a summer day, but on a winter night it can be as much as 20 miles.
@77MrAH You missed the "slow" part.
The nu finish polish is amazing. It puts a beautiful coating on the car, I keep my cars for decades and nu finish really keeps the paint lustering well.
Make it LAST as LONG as "possible" !!!!! Love Scotty's way of "getting his point across" !!!
5 things you shouldn’t do in your new car
1) *REV UP YOUR ENGINE*
Buy a Toyota celica
I like how you keep your garage so nice and organized , good to see a mechanic that keeps his tools in order. . .
Slightly used cars can save you $5-10k.
I’ll always buy used. New cars are way over priced and after all. It’s just 4 wheels. Doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you arrive safely. Only reason I could think of spending more on a vehicle is crash test safety reasoning. Other than that, nothing more. Get a car that suits you and your family’s needs. Don’t fall victim to the financial burden of thinking you need a $400+ dollar car payment for status
If you have the money go new if you want but if you don't have the money DO NOT BUY BRAND NEW
Michael C some of us want “fun” cars lol. driving a boring car sucks.
nickeyb50 I’m a Honda guy who’s into the import scene so I understand having a fun car/ project car. But new cars, nah. I’ll buy used $7k and under and still get a great vehicle. Save myself $20k and put it into my family, vacation, amenities or cannabis/tech stocks
Wife picked up a new 1 year old model. Saved thousands.
This guy is a genius - he knows everything. You will be a scientist if not a mechanic. Scotty the great !!!!
Excellent advice. I did exactly the same tips to my car. And it drives great. It kept it out of the dealership
Never over rev it...😲
Slowly 'break in' the engine! 👍
never put fuel in your car.
Signed- Your video picture
Haha! Just noticed. He so smart and witty otherwise !
No gasoline in your Diesel car.
Thanks for the Goo Gone tip. My wife has a 2013 Fusion, and thanks to the layout of our duplex, she has to park under a powerline. Well, you know what that means. No matter how many times it's washed, the "memories" just won't come off.
When going over 90mph shift into R for race mode!!!
Oh my god i can hear the transmissions exploding already. 🤣
LOL
VF28WWE ima try it
or P for pass?
@@jimm8596 P for POWERMODE!!!
1) New engines still require break-in ... so don't go a full interval before changing your oil and filter the first time. It's a good idea to cut your normal/recommended interval in half for the first change.
actually by 1/4 @ 500 miles.
*Redline avoidance need not be applied to Honda VTEC motors like the S2000. :)
amen
I just started watching Scotty’s videos and he is HILARIOUS and soooo informative! I just bought a brand new car last week and I’ve listened to every word!
According to the thumbnail provided by Scotty I should never pump gas in my new car. Thanks Scotty. Very cool!
There was one thing I always did to break in a new car when I was younger. Since Scotty like clean and unoffensive comments you guys will have to read between the lines. With two arthritic knees and being 76-years old I can no longer break in a new car the way I use to.
HUH?
6707 MUSTANG sexy time
Love your work scotty hope you live another 50 years world needs more folks like you
When we used to drag race I used armor all on the rear quarter panels to keep tar and pieces of drag slicks from sticking to the paint
My engine builder told me to change my new engines oil 500 miles after break in. Not because of metal but because the first oil is a special mixture for break-in, primarily the zinc content. So I think this is still usually the case for newly built engines, I am not sure
This also applies to brand new engines, transmissions, and differentials for replacing bad drivetrain components as well whether it's rebuilt or remanufactured.
“Bunghole Liquors.” LOL. That reminds me of Beavis & Butthead when Beavis puts his the top of his shirt over head and says, “I am Cornholio. I need TP for my bunghole.” 😂😂
lol yes, my uncle actually has a shirt from there.
When The Toecutter picks up a new lease, He drives it like he stole it!!
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Mad max
"It was running a 100% before now its probably running 95%
Hahaha"
God I love this channel!
Semding good vibes from the Philippines
Scotty, you’re becoming the ‘GREAT’ Grandfather of home car maintenance 😎
That's right !
I have only floored my car once, on the test drive. Since I owned the vehicle I haven’t gone over 3,500 rpm when accelerating. I do all highway driving, around 80 the motor sits around 2,200 rpm. Hopefully this car will last forever, it drives great and gets descent mpg, 2.5L 4 cylinder and I get 35 mpg
I did it twice on break in and also just this morning. I’ve been kind of freaking out about it but it sounds like I should have nothing to stress about.
And once, when I test drove it, it had 5 miles on it so I’m a little worried
We sometimes would hammer our brand new 2 stroke quads in the day. They were always the fastest.
Thanks for the great info Scotty as always and again congrats on being the number one car channel on TH-cam. 😯 A 20 year old car with a great paintjob DAMN Scotty you definitely know your stuff.
Don't rev up your new car😂😂😂
Jerome Flores haha thatvwas hard thing to do lol
rev up your engines!... unless it's new
Don't rev it, drive it as fast as you can! 😂
Like the new Honda accord!
I could sit and listen to this dude tells story’s for hours. He talks cool af.
I'm glad I followed the break-in period correctly when I got mine. I'm off to a long engine life.
when did you change your oil for the first time.
I’ve done all these things in all my new cars...
Did you make sure to shoot a load of ejaculate into the gas tank?
DON'T rev up your engines!!!!
Awesome videos man, I love everything you put up always informational.
Great video Scotty! Appreciate the fact you talk in a way that we understand.
glad I brought a bicycle .... I hate starting the car for trips to the corner store for nick nacks
Naw man, get a go-kart and hit the corner store in style!
I bought a 1976 Dodge van new. Then went on a long cross country trip. The engine never seated. It burned oil after that and there was nothing I could do. Learned my lesson.
Your first mistake was buying a Dodge. You should buy a Ford or Chevy. Dodges are junk, plain and simple, which is why they are SO CHEAP, nobody wants them.
Always full of good ideas and advice. Thank you, Scotty.
outstanding job..Thank you for the incredible tips...I have a 2009 Nissan Armada platinum and I used every tip you put out...Thanks alot..
NuFinish and Goo Gone are two of the best products on the market. Have used both for years! 👍
I like the Zymol a lot myself. I used to use Nu FInish, that is still good for a nice easy polish.
Never hotbox your new car while pulling off the dealership lot.
Thank you for this. Didn't realize you made the answer to my question already. Thank you for the knowledge sir.
Scotty on point. Thanks for posting.
I still would make first oil/filter change after 1000 or 1500 miles. The engine is never 100% clean from the factory and yes there are still some debris present from when the engine is running in :)
I would change the oil and filter after one thousand miles just to be on the SAFE SIDE. After all, a car is an expensive purchase. A good oil filter and new oil in the engine, is very CHEAP INSURANCE. I live in Quebec, Canada, where our winters are very hard on cars and trucks. My brother and I still manage to keep our cars for eighteen or even twenty years. Hence, we boys must be doing something RIGHT. CHEERS ! !
Lol knowing car makers today im not surprised.
Dealership realized I was nuts when I insisted on an oil change at.....500 miles.
They still remember that, still going there for the last 7 years. I just don't trust the manufacturing industry much is why I did that.
Thanks Scotty
But you don't have to. That has not been a standard for year. It's about 4000-5000 now. But I do the first at 3k.
@@Anth230 that's why I said that the dealership NEW I WAS NUTS!!!!😏😁😂🤣😂🤣😂😶😎
I babied my Skoda Rapid until for 10,000 miles. Still did after that, it was a Skoda after all, you can never be too careful. Come to think of it I've taken great care for all my cars.
6;07 there's also some kind of a sap that trees 'emit' especially like oak or cypress trees. My father in Dallas had an Oak tree in the front yard that he would park his car under.
Scotty, first thing that I did is immediately changed my oil to Castrol GTX full synthetic. From day one. I did that with my Buick Rendezvous that I purchased in late 2004. It is still on the road in 2019.💖❤💖❤👍
Gotta love that *Castrol* GTX!!!
Scotty I purchased a 2015 Honda accord back in 15 now I regret it (CVT), will it be a good idea to trade it in for another vehicle perhaps a Camry.
pay it off and don't have a car payment....
Packed with great advice. Uber awesome. Thank you scotty
Just bought a new camry last week, this coulnt have been a better reminder!
Also... never park under or really close to a sap tree.
No officer, I was not hooning and speeding, I was engaging in some maintenance by burning off the crud inside my engine at high rpms.
;)
bennyg if you drive a ‘94 Celica, you don’t get pulled over.
😑
That's called "Italian tune-up".
4500RPM isn't high
I'm glad to hear I don't gotta worry about that oil change straight away on a new car, read somewhere it's good to do that on a brand new car, but when in doubt, look at Scotty's videos!
You made me spit my tea . I have learned so much thank you and God bless you
It's the worst when i park in the middle of a parking lot miles away from a tree and a bird still manages to poop on my car
Or someone has parked beside your car when you park away from every one and try to avoid dents for a while a little while. I don't take up 2 places I just park where it is very good walk away where nobody is parked plus down hill with a curb between my car and the the buggy corrals if someone does something to my car they have to work for it.
Grrr. We parked my wife's week old Honda Crosstour EX-L in middle of empty mall parking lot.
Came back to find a old church pass van and a beater, Dodge truck on either side of it. No other cars for two rows in any direction. It was kinda funny to us, shoulda taken a pic. Like REALLY??
At least no dings, dents happened.
A couple of months ago I was driving down a road that has zero trees and heard a loud THUMP. If there were snow on the ground I would have thought a kid threw a snowball. Except I would have seen the kid throw the snow ball, since there was nowhere for a kid to hide. I even turned the car around and had another look at what might have happened.
When I got to my destination I got out of the car and found a large bird had dropped a giant turd on the roof.
I like to break in the back seat as soon as possible.
Haha
@Johnny Draco yes
Now here's a guy I would listen to all day about cars. Honesty with experience get's you more customers. And viewers. :-D
This might sounds weird but I love you man .I work on cars this I was a kid.but I'm no mechanic just work on my own vehicle, you helped me alot from your videos,I live in Sa. Tx keep it up don't change anything
Very carefully rev up your engines!
Just don't buy a car so you don't have to worry about any of this
Ye so you cAn walk everywhere
Or you can stop existing so you dont have to worry about anything in life at all
And never get laid.
Thank you for another video Scotty. I learned a lot from your videos.
thank you sir, I am getting a delivery of my new car this Monday, I feel your tips might help.
Best thing to never do with a brand new car...
Don’t buy a brand new car.
I used to think like that. I bought a 2017 Yaris 6 speed for the fact that some mongoloid hasn’t owned it before me. I followed the break in period and do all the maintenance myself. My company truck for has been abused by the guys before me. No way I’d go for that with my daily driver.
Buy it used.
Sure, I will sell you my car bought new, but I won't tell you I rev the hell out of it when new.
badlandskid Buy a 94 Toyota Celica instead..
AMEN
You forgot the most important thing never let a teenager drive a new car 🚙! 😂😂😂
Yeah one of my friends friend was driving there grandma enclave that was brand spanking new and he revved it like it was a NASCAR
He's right about the constant short trips and not running efficiently. I live 3.2 miles from work and my girl friend lives 35 miles from my place. Sometimes during the week if I dont go see her I can hear and feel that my truck is not running right and a nice longer drive clears it up.
Scotty I've seen the Alamo back in 2017, it was one of the highlights of my trip.
Brand new mini van, my wife took 4 family members with luggage 400 miles away for a long weekend. Overloaded, cruise control the whole way @70 mph.
Again, brand new. SMDH!
Oh well, don't worry about it.
Then she got mad at me.... Hahaha, women! Great stuff Scotty.
I'm sometimes over critical because of the large following you have and the responsibility you now have to them. People trust you and rely upon you for critical advice. It's hard to find good, complete automotive advice today without ulterior motives and car ownership is increasingly costly and confusing.
This was an excellent presentation of basic but critical facts. Keep it coming. You are among the very best at what you do. You really do care about educating people so that they can better enjoy vehicle ownership while minimizing their losses.
Another helpful tips.. Thanks Scotty!
Hmm, Scotty you forgot the most important don't for a new car. Don't give your teenager the keys!
Scotty, the first thing you never do when buying a new car is, Never pay the full sticker price!
AGREED! I just bought a new car about a month ago. I showed up at 5pm. The placed closed at 8pm. I had the salesman and the manager there till 10:30p on a Friday night! I think they gave in just to get me the hell outta there!
Love this dudes videos. I always learn something with every one
A good excuse to humor the old school and actually 'warm up' your car before travel.
Most modern engines are run in on the bench before they are even put in the car nowadays so no need for the old break in techniques of the past.
@Joaquin Valadez Having driven 60's and 70's cars and todays cars yes, the car manufacturers that rely on a reputation of being reliable do a decent job of the initial run in and stretching of a fresh built engine on the bench before it gets anywhere near the car.
@@rodpanhard Honda has a reputation for the best engines, yet in their owner's manual they say to drive the first 1,000 miles gently with varying RPMs. I doubt the piston rings are seated out of the factory.
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
(unless it's a new car...)
Omg you just brought back high schoolmemories. My friend had s vw bug in the 80s. We piled 6 LARGE guysin one of the tires popped
😝
Great advice Scotty.I also heard not to slam on the brakes when it's new also.
