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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This also applies to brand new engines, transmissions, and differentials for replacing bad drivetrain components as well whether it's rebuilt or remanufactured.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 ! !
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.
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
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
“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.” 😂😂
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.
I'm picking up my car from the shop tomorrow. 2018 Kia Soul Plus. 74,000 miles. I had just bought it and the engine blew up. I got a new engine installed with the warranty. I'm excited but nervous too. I've never had a new engine. Thanks for the tips
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, 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.💖❤💖❤👍
I agree with this video BIG TIME. I commute 100 miles total 5 days a week to work. I buy full size Chevy trucks because I need a truck for work around the house, and the full size is a great highway, road-worthy vehicle. My trucks have always run excellently because of my driving habits and routine maintenance. I have regularly gotten 200+ thousand miles from them!
Scotty I was hopping you could do a review over a Hyundai Santa Fe my mom had one and ran it for almost 3 months with no oil or radiator fluid. It was a 2009 and takes abuse like a champ
0:55 according to Toyota, it’s recommended to take their engine through its full range of RPMs several times during the first 500 miles while avoiding keeping the RPMs at the same level for an extended time. In other words go ahead and dive it like it’s yours!
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
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.
Hey, Scotty, at 05:20 that's the legendary undying/immortal beating car. Dacia 1300 a.k.a. Renault 12. Manufactured Since 1968 until early '2000 still runs on Romania's streets. 1.3Liter gasoline engine with timing chain. My father in law still owns it and drives it daily.
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.
4:35 Since there a lot of people in California, Florida, and Texas I don't know if more people live in cold states or warm states. But I'm going to guess most new cars are bought in the winter. Because of December inventory clearance sales, and February & March tax refund checks. So in the cold states, I'm guessing most new cars run a few minutes before putting them in gear. (Unless they are kept in a heated garage.)
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!
That’s what Mr. Wright (Stacey Keach) told Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) about bird poop. This movie was filmed in Houston and you might recognize some areas (like Memorial Drive, a car chase filmed in REGULAR TRAFFIC LOL)... Turn the sound way up for the Plymouth Road Runner. Holy crap!! Brewster Mc Cloud. Available on DVD.
Speaking of preserving the paint, here in Florida we have these “love bugs” swarming. They smash up all over your bumper and dry there. Horrible for the paint.
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.
@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.
Suggestion for removing love bugs (Florida): get Bounce dryer sheets. Spray water on area with the bugs. Wipe with dryer sheets. It works! Anyone who has had trouble removing love bugs will appreciate this.
Actually changing the oil and filter, probably right after buying the car, is still a good idea. This time however this is due to various debris and dirt left after production process, because somehow there's a chance that factory won't completely clean the parts before putting them together and quite frequently the factory oil will contain a lot of metal shavings. No kidding. So while you don't have to break-in your new engine, you still have to ensure it's clean inside.
There was a recall on my friend's mom's Hyundai sonata for that very reason. Metal shavings in the engine from the manufacturing process. So now they upped her warranty to 10 years 150,000 mile warranty.
When I worked as a photographer at a dealership and my studio was about 2 miles away (oh and I worked at a Porsche/Audi dealership ) I would normally make it around 4 miles away and absolutely unleash the beast every time I got behind the wheel, especially the 911 turbo s and R8. One of the best jobs I ever had
When we bought our 2001 Toyota Corolla CE Manual Sedan in 2001, we were told not to go 70 MPH for the first 1,000 miles (the speed limit on the freeways here in Washington) and keep it at 60 MPH.
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!

Rev up your engines...after 500 miles or so

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?
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
Rev up your engines (to 3500 to 4000 RPM, don’t hit the red line limiter).
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?

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.
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 I was hopping you could do a review over a Hyundai Santa Fe my mom had one and ran it for almost 3 months with no oil or radiator fluid. It was a 2009 and takes abuse like a champ
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.
0:55 according to Toyota, it’s recommended to take their engine through its full range of RPMs several times during the first 500 miles while avoiding keeping the RPMs at the same level for an extended time. In other words go ahead and dive it like it’s yours!
Just bought a new camry last week, this coulnt have been a better reminder!
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 could sit and listen to this dude tells story’s for hours. He talks cool af.
Scotty, you’re becoming the ‘GREAT’ Grandfather of home car maintenance 😎
That's right !
AMEN, SCOTTY, AMEN, to everything you cover in all of your videos! I'm 64 yo and finding your channel has been a GODSEND!!
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 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.
Nice to know! My dad used to say for the first 12K miles to let the engine develop and drive it with consideration
Also... never park under or really close to a sap tree.
Extra bonus-tip: when you floor the pedal use the right gear. Too few revs is at least as bad as too many revs
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?
Hey, Scotty, at 05:20 that's the legendary undying/immortal beating car. Dacia 1300 a.k.a. Renault 12. Manufactured Since 1968 until early '2000 still runs on Romania's streets. 1.3Liter gasoline engine with timing chain. My father in law still owns it and drives it daily.
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!
Now here's a guy I would listen to all day about cars. Honesty with experience get's you more customers. And viewers. :-D
Never hotbox your new car while pulling off the dealership lot.
You made me spit my tea . I have learned so much thank you and God bless you
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
4:35 Since there a lot of people in California, Florida, and Texas I don't know if more people live in cold states or warm states. But I'm going to guess most new cars are bought in the winter. Because of December inventory clearance sales, and February & March tax refund checks. So in the cold states, I'm guessing most new cars run a few minutes before putting them in gear. (Unless they are kept in a heated garage.)
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.
A good tip is to keep some neodymium magnets in the oil pan this will pick up any metal particles in the oil.
IN the oil pan?
wrong, bad idea
@@AR-zq9hq on the outside not inside
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
That’s what Mr. Wright (Stacey Keach) told Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) about bird poop. This movie was filmed in Houston and you might recognize some areas (like Memorial Drive, a car chase filmed in REGULAR TRAFFIC LOL)...
Turn the sound way up for the Plymouth Road Runner. Holy crap!!
Brewster Mc Cloud. Available on DVD.
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.
Speaking of preserving the paint, here in Florida we have these “love bugs” swarming. They smash up all over your bumper and dry there. Horrible for the paint.
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 break all the engines in like you are talking about! I find it odd that so many people don't know and don't believe in a break in period.
Driving down hills with a CVT transmission on cruise control will rev the engine.

Great time Scotty I just bought a 2019 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, just rolled over 200 miles! Today!
Congrats Mike 👍🏼
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.
Suggestion for removing love bugs (Florida): get Bounce dryer sheets. Spray water on area with the bugs. Wipe with dryer sheets. It works! Anyone who has had trouble removing love bugs will appreciate this.
I like to break in the back seat as soon as possible.
Haha
@Johnny Draco yes
Scotty I've seen the Alamo back in 2017, it was one of the highlights of my trip.
Then she got mad at me.... Hahaha, women! Great stuff Scotty.
Actually changing the oil and filter, probably right after buying the car, is still a good idea. This time however this is due to various debris and dirt left after production process, because somehow there's a chance that factory won't completely clean the parts before putting them together and quite frequently the factory oil will contain a lot of metal shavings. No kidding.
So while you don't have to break-in your new engine, you still have to ensure it's clean inside.
There was a recall on my friend's mom's Hyundai sonata for that very reason. Metal shavings in the engine from the manufacturing process. So now they upped her warranty to 10 years 150,000 mile warranty.
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
When I worked as a photographer at a dealership and my studio was about 2 miles away (oh and I worked at a Porsche/Audi dealership ) I would normally make it around 4 miles away and absolutely unleash the beast every time I got behind the wheel, especially the 911 turbo s and R8. One of the best jobs I ever had
Hmm, Scotty you forgot the most important don't for a new car. Don't give your teenager the keys!
When we bought our 2001 Toyota Corolla CE Manual Sedan in 2001, we were told not to go 70 MPH for the first 1,000 miles (the speed limit on the freeways here in Washington) and keep it at 60 MPH.
When exactly did the modern car era begin? Was there an ending to the old one lol
New era began with V-tec.
Old one ended with the carburettors.
Modern car era began with the 94 Toyota Celica. 😂
95-96 when obd2 and evap bull started
6:56 OK I need to try this now. I have hundreds of lil tar specs on my 89 tbird I'm restoring that need removed. It's white, too.
Gas or coleman fuel works too.
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!
It's also worth using the gears to slow down or doing down hills to put over run load on the piston rings.
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
(unless it's a new car...)
