I grew up in the NE USA, and I remember cars rotting out from the salt on the roads, but it seems newer cars are not equipped for winter weather at all.
I grew up in the NE too and we were lucky to get 60-70,000 miles out of a car before it was rotted out. I have a 16 year old Mazda 3 now with no rust at all, I think it's mostly because so much of it is plastic. Cars last much longer now, you can easily get 150,000 miles out of car these days with a little care. I have seen newer pickup trucks rusting out, but I never see rust bucket cars on the roads like we used to.
The oil drain plug modification was actually pretty genius. Maybe a lockpin would be better in addition to it to make sure it doesn't accidentally open but still genius.
@@pat8988 I'll probably install one once my car stops having the free service and oil changes it gets after buying it new. Life will be much simpler. Thank you for confirming how good of an idea it is.
I have one on my truck, its a lifesaver, the brand is Fumoto and they come with a little plastic clip to hold the latch and its also in a channel that you have to pull it out of so theres no real way for it to open accidentally
These valves are spring loaded. They won't accidentally open. The new Fumoto valves have a removable clip over the lever. These valves are made in Japan and are standard equipment on most new cars in Japan.
Love the dude that doesn't want it to "get over 10" when his dog is fueling his car. He's just being funny, but some people really do that. I once saw a guy put $2 of gas in their car and then walk into the station and buy a $5 lotto ticket. He told the cashier, "when only you got 2 ones and a five, you gotta make priorities." If the lotto makes your list of priorities, you're too dumb to drive, but guaranteed to have your car shown in one of these videos.
5:05 what happens when you have spare parts left over LOL one vital part was left out, it was the disc on the crank to stop the belt walking off LOL engine is either a CA18DE, RB20DE or RB25DE
8:16, all engines should have a oil drain like this. Maybe have some sort of security device, or safety on it, so it can't be opened accidentally or maliciously.
I have one on my Subaru. It has a plastic retainer clip that prevents it from being opened accidentally. Makes oil changes a breeze. Doesn’t have any protection from someone with knowledge and malicious intentions opening it, but the chances of that being an issue are next to none, imo
Fumoto valves have a slot that the lever fits in, so they can't be opened accidentally. There's enough spring pressure that in order for vibration to open them, you'd likely have to be in an accident that destroyed your car anyway. They are awesome for the DIYer. I put them on both my car and my truck, saves a lot of time, hassle and mess when changing the oil. Mine have a little flange on them so you can pop a bit of hose on the end, so there's zero splashing. Now if they could just find a solution for changing my oil filters, which make a giant mess.
1:34 I bought a car with automatic transmission, the oil in it should be changed every 60k km, it had 120k km and the oil has never been changed. Mechanic told me it looked something like in this video, chunks of oil stuck on the gears. Luckily he managed to clean it and it has worked pretty well another 50k, maybe it still works today, dont know, sold the car last year.
Not really, back in the days ppl were more aware of taking care of their cars, let's talk about the Nissan with his oil change after 60 000 MILES!!! Sure the sensor and computer crap issues wouldn't have appeared without computers, kinda obvious xD
I have with several cars from the 90s onwards that the fuel guage is VOLTAGE SENSITIVE. If you KNOW THE TANK IS FULL, BUT GUAGE READS LOW, CHECK YOUR ELECTICAL SYSTEM.
@@MarioAPN I ain't ever touching a car that has an ECU or other computer garbage. It's a tin box with a spinning wheel damnit, what are these electronics doing here, they're not spinning no wheels.
@@dimitar4y well, I like to touch it a lot, just on the right places. 🙃 600HP from 2.0 TFSI with a lot of boom-boom sounds from exhaust makes me very happy.
I don't understand how some cars rust so bad... Like, I've had the same 32 year old Camaro in Utah on salt roads for 17 years and that sucker is in great shape. I'm working on rebuilding it now.
If you drive your car everyday for long enough for it heat up then there is much lesser chance fir rust. I have 2011 Camaro here in Poland(a lot of salt during winter) when I was doing minimum 60km trips daily I had zero dust issues over cars lifespan but as soon as I stopped using it as daily it started to rust after year of driving it once a month. So yeah, rust is often sign of car sitting outside not being daily driven.
Having a garage makes a huge difference, having proper letngthy trips also. And washing it at least once a week during winter time as well. So there is much you can do, which others don't. Greetz from Austria from the Alps :))
Guy was so lucky, no injury, no property damage, he didnt even realize how much energy hes storing cranking it down that much, compress a spring a few inches enough for some give not to 1/5 its length, should of realized something was wrong once he went to 1/2
That very first clip is what happens to so many modern, technology laden vehicles if the 12v battery goes bad. That's why it all just shut off at the end.
The guy about the Nissan is not wrong. My first car was a 2008 Nissan Rogue. Noob mistake forgetting that part of responsibilities. First the piston knocked for 2 days like at (6:35) Then I hit the highway and she hit that piston through the block. Oil EVERYWHERE. $1500 and she ran kinda better than when I got her. My engine was 160,000 before it blew. The new one from eBay only had 20,000 miles
the stuck injector on the Peugeot is something not to uncommon, had to Diesink EDM out 4 injectors on a head once as a favor for a friend of the department manager
Stupidity of these car owners is one thing. The other is that new cars often suffer from malfunctions impossible in the old ones. In the old ones things were either built more robust, or some failing systems simply didn't exist.
0:40 This is the fault of the service centers, because they tell the customer that the oil is eternal and does not need to be changed and if someone does not know, he is left to trust the service center. I myself have sometimes had such a situation that the service claimed that the oil in the car is eternal.
3:14: Hey! I was listening to that! D: 5:08: It was also the LAST start after a timing belt replacement. 9:47: So this is what Scrappy-Doo does these days.
Hey look dave had that nissan after we swapped the engine again. Lol. When I worked at a nissan dealer there was a nissan van v6 with like 45k miles on it. No oil changed ever. We swapped the engine at owners expense. Surprisingly It was only like a 3500 dollar junkyard engine.
How did the driver with the melted bearing not notice an issue during his pre trip? I shut my truck down because of a spot of oil I saw on the wheel, and the shop I took it to said I saved the wheel and bearing because of that. I borrowed a friend's truck to finish my day. Thankfully, it was parked at the same shop 🙂 Same question with the trailer brakes. I hope the driver caught that on his pre trip. Truthfully, upon seeing that the one slack adjuster wasn't even connected to the brake chamber, I would have ended my inspection right there, and never looked at the rest of the brakes as there's already a problem, and the trailer needs repairs before going out. I would have told the mechanic "You ain't gonna believe this" and left the trailer with him. I suspect that the driver probably did just that.
01:50 if that the first oil change in 60k id say regardless of the end result its done very good with the money saved you could do a engine rebuild and it will all be worth it

the legend actually walking out with an engine
I’ve done that with a bmw m20 short block, some headers and some other accessories. Longest 50 yards of my life.
Spoiler: his buddy pulling the empty cart pulled it most of the way. Dude just carried it across the finish line.
Watching that timing belt slip off and hearing the damage really hurt me as a mechanic 😂
me tooo .. ouch :S
Hearing while you're driving is worse. 😮

Some of them have a safety wire hole. Thinking on it, I need to get one for my bus.

Solution to a leaking DEF tank: remove the DEF tank, permanently.
as a truck driver myself, I agree!
Man, that VR6 was all kinds of hoopajooped. At least the engine mounts were totally gone.
It’s called VR-sick
Replace that mounts and that's ok
The mounts are toast but I’m pretty sure one of the wrist pins is gone as well
Wasn't that some sick chain slap?

6:14 so that's petrol version of regenerative braking
But if it fills up when you don't use the brake...
We might've found the solution to all our problems! 😁
Fuel stations hate this one easy trick! Go to 7:10 to see it in action.
0:50 is a Freon canister not helium.
8:16, all engines should have a oil drain like this. Maybe have some sort of security device, or safety on it, so it can't be opened accidentally or maliciously.
Maybe make it so you need a specific tool to open it. Like, you could put some sort of socket over a hexagon shape and turn it to make it open.
Those are racing drains. They are also sold for diesel trucks. I've considered buying one.
I have one on my Subaru. It has a plastic retainer clip that prevents it from being opened accidentally. Makes oil changes a breeze. Doesn’t have any protection from someone with knowledge and malicious intentions opening it, but the chances of that being an issue are next to none, imo

yep, most of the times there is some ground issue ^^
No way a Nissan engine replacement is 20-30k, that's more than the car is worth.
He was basically saying you ruined the car
Dude, that oil plug to faucet retrofit is freakin AWESOME. I’d be tempted to do the same if my drain plug wasn’t so close to the oil filter.
that steering wheel at the start!!! I had one of those PC joystick steering wheels, but it was a chinese scam, it did that exact movement!! 🤣
