Thank you Scotty for making great videos all the time.
Scotty: I'm just cheap, I pay less for that car"
Me: I'm related to you, Scotty.
Putting in a 1qt oil accumulator i.e. pre-lube system does wonders for start ups. Flip of a switch it charges the system then oil pressure fills the accumulator back up in a few seconds then you turn it off. Their also great on 4x4 trucks as you can set the pressure for them to release oil if the oil pressure drops below a set point when pulling a hill or off camber driving. Thats the automatic system. Either way pressurized oil on initial start is not a bad idea. I use them on everything as I have some cars that sit for extended periods. Everyone sells them, Summit,Jegs, Ebay ect. Along with a remote filter to make it easy to gain access that system is worth its weight in gold. If you have oil sprayers like the new Hondas you'll even have some oil on the cylinder walls before starting.
At 6:09 You can't always go by the data. Love it! 😂😂
Would you make a video with general tips and things to look at when buying a used car?
Let's start a petition for all the auto manufacturers to put dipsticks back into transmissions Too. I would be the first one to sign that one.!
Freaking Chrysler, with a plug on the dipstick tube that says "Dealer Access Only."
somnambulus omg that‘s hilarious! Here In germany it‘s forbidden by law to do something like that as a manufacturer
I know thats why I’m keeping my 07 Camry. where you can work on everything yourself . New cars are crazy
boggsty BMWs here in the US have done away with oil and transmission fluid dipstick’s!
I have oil and transmission dipsticks on my 2019 F-350...
Legend has it all ‘94 Celicas are so reliable that they still have the original factory oil 🚗
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM, BUT I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE..
Aidan Montgomery can I speak with Peggy
If that was the case the 94 would only make it to 95 for being stupid
Dale Gribble Guns don’t kill people, the government does!
That is because they will always stay at 240k miles.
January and Scotty is sweating outside. Houston has some crazy weather.
70 degrees out here right now
it’s hot here in florida
I live in Houston too and we’re supposed to drop to mid 50’s this weekend. Crazy weather indeed.
SC here and we've consistently been in the 70s
I'm from Holland and I think winter is cancelled this year it seems 😕
I'm 32 and I've never drove a car in my life. But somehow I can't stop watching Scotty fixing cars! It feels so good!
Ben A. E you must’ve save a lot of money without having a car huh
Im 17 and confused why not 😂
not owning a car these days makes sense. costs a lot more n more headaches, problems...much cheaper way back when.
Good for you Ben. Biggest Waste Of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is CARS!!!
@@CGB65
true. Anything with an engine, car, truck, plane , or boat is not a good "investment.". doesn't hold its value, endless $$ pit.
Scotty has a heart of gold and loves his career.
I love him for that
I'm disappointed at the lack of visual aid when he said "I love these giant jugs".
demonetized
Not to mention that he might get slapped with the elusive $42K fine for violating C.O.P.P.A. rules.
What mechanic doesn't like giant jugs?
@@trueknowledgeispower thats extreme for a couple of hooters girls
@@scottykilmer coulda had a nice cow ready to deliver some fresh milk... lol
If scotty wasn't around. I don't know what I would do for entertainment.
Not just entertainment, but education
Scotty is very informative!! Really enjoy watching his skills through videos.
@Ted LS Lol scotty isn't my life. If I didn't have a life, I don't think I'd be living as good as I am right now lol
@Ted LS Of course not I knew you were joking I laughed too lol.
unfair sanic but driving is bad for the engine, isn’t it?
Tip I learned from a pro: if a quick oil shop torqued the oil filter housing too much and the wrench adapter isn't gripping enough, then use a piece of paper between the filter wrench adapter and the oil filter housing for a better bite.
I like that he respect his customers privacy and puts a license plate cover
why are people so scared of their plates? What can someone on the internet do with that info?
Is that my car the he's working on lol
Rick James People can find your address it’s registered to if they wanted
I love scotty because he's straight to the point "dont buy the plastic ones there crap they break" 😅 good honest advice
Scotty: My Customer Destroyed This Car By Not Changing the Oil
*changes oil*
Car runs and drive completely normal
Jared Lentz someone had too Say it
Jared Lentz when you dont change your oil frequently the chain makes that noise at start up when cold. Its not a normal thing.
A well cared car doesnt do that. Ever
Its a Toyota - would it do anything less with Scotty working on it? :-D
Chuck Gonz it’s still not destroyed tho lol, it still ran and drove
That car will go another 130k
Loads of people are going to over tighten their drain plugs now because of you Scotty. I suggest using a very short ratchet so you don't strip threads.
I use a box end wrench...just for that reason.
@@mikefoehr235 I agree with your method. It's either a short handled tool or a torque wrench so that it can be set at its recommended torque.
Breaker bar off regular wrench on. My God Scotty is no mechanic. He's a goof ball
@@ABCD-eg5ky totally.
Just don't forget to put back the dipstick before starting Scotty ;)
don't forget the dipstick and the cap....won't get far without either of them and there will be oil everywhere.......
I put about 50k on a honda with no dipstick. Used a welding rod to check the oil
I caught that too!
Scotty's best advice. Oil is cheap, engines are NOT.
Regarding running out of oil, my daughter asked me “isn’t there a light to tell me that”, oh boy.
You have some work left to do on that kid.
Wayne S. Don’t worry, she changes her own oil and does her own brake jobs now.
@@TexasScout you must be so proud.
New vehicles have a light mine does.
@@TheBrowns-Love a light to tell you when you run out of oil?
Scotty Kilmer has some of the best car maintenance & advice videos. Practical, realistic and so helpful. Every car owner or DIYer should watch.
Scotty: “Let it warm up for 5 mins”
Greta: “ HoW dArE yOu!”
Thanks for the laugh.
Just had a great laugh. Thanks.
Greta needs to get hit by a cloud of rolling coal
@@Oogiddyboogway hey Greta, do you smoke, no, well you do now woosh!! That would be a funny prank.
Hey Scotty, this is one of the best videos you’ve done to reach so many people who don’t do basic maintenance on their vehicles.
Your warning about replacing the oil filler cap struck home, also the old adage that too many cooks spoil the soup. Four of us, all pilots, were flying from Colorado to Baja for a week of camping on the beach. We were flying a Cessna 182 which is a nice four person ship. We were running on a tight schedule so we were doing a rush job when we stopped for fuel and clearance into Mexico. One person took care of topping the tanks with fuel, one checked the oil, one went to the restaurant to pick up food and the other one took care of customs and flight plan. We hit it like a pit crew at a NASCAR race and were soon headed for the runway. Just as we passed the departure end of the runway, the windshield was coated with a spray of oil. A fast 180 and landed downwind. A quick check found the problem.... the guy who added a quart of oil had forgotten to replace the oil cap. Fortunately the oil caps on airplane engines are attached with a chain or the cap would have been someplace in the weeds.
You are absolutely correct!! Most people never keep up with the oil service. I do mine before 5000 miles, and my engines run like new. I also recommend doing all fluids every few years, I live in the deep south, and all of those fluids are beat after a few summers. Do you recommend doing the Blackstone lab oil test? The main thing is when I sell my trucks I have a three ring binder showing the services I have done, and I tend to get my full asking price when selling.. Thanks for the good tips Scotty!!!
I used to work at a Jiffy Lube awhile back. Those older Honda's with those vtec engines are insane. I did lots of them where I pull the plug and maybe a drop of oil would come out, yet time after time they all purr like a kitten with zero valve knock. One of the only cars I can recall that would ever do that.
I have a vtech in my 02 accord, and I guarantee you'll never see my engine low on oil. I know they're good engines, but that's cutting it entirely too close. Lol.
Jay I have a 2010 Accord, it has the 2.4 Liter 4 Cylinder K-24 Honda engine with an automatic transmission. 230K miles on it. I use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and change the oil/filter every 20K miles. Engine is quiet as a mouse and still runs like new. Honda engines are bullet proof.
Did you overtighten the drain plug like every other lube tech ive ever seen? I get used cars and have to shim out about half the drain plugs i encounter
@@clevelandmortician3887 no but lots of idiots in the fast lube industry do and they should never touch a car. I've had to do the same countless times. I've seen it all when it comes to changing oil.
@@garyr7027 Yep, the same with my 99' Accord V6. I check the oil dipstick before every drive and change it every 4000 miles(OR ONCE A YEAR WHEN I DON'T DRIVE AT ALL) That's why it still runs and drives like a clock and I've had it for 13 years
Hey scotty I have a 2010 Toyota camrey. It has the same engine and does the same thing with the engine clatter on startup. Everyone looks at me and tells me my cars messed up. The clatter starts about halfway between oil changes. Thanks for proving me correct and keep up the good vids.
To everyone reading this have a wonderful day
Gbay99 is that you?!
The Real Brendon I read it At night.
You do the same!
🍻🍻🍺
I slipped on a banana peel after I read that
Morning Scotty, have a great day!
morning!
@@scottykilmer how you
Morning? In my country the time is 21:17 right now😂😂😂
Hello from Europe
6:08 you can’t always believe the data
i LoL'd on that part.
LOLed too
That was a good one.
Everyone had too😂
Best part!!!
Scotty, I have a 2AR-FE engine that makes that noise during startup. I believe there is a TSB on it too. I’ve changed the oil according to Scion’s specified intervals, and only use full synthetic oil. 138k miles. Sound doesn’t go away, even after a brand new oil change. According to the TSB, fixing the issue requires replacing the VVT-i cam sprockets (intake and exhaust). I don’t have a low oil pressure light ever turning on. Should I just live with the issue? I plan on driving the car for as long as possible, never selling it. I could try to replace the sprockets myself...but not sure if worth the effort. Bought brand new on January 2011.
Scotty thank you so much! I have this EXACT problem with my 2012 Corolla with the 1.8L engine, 126k miles. Same noises and also goes away when it’s warm. Ive been vigilant and I keep the oil changed often. I hope it’s not too serious of a problem, even with fresh oil it still makes the same noises.
I don’t get it. My Hondas and Toyotas have a service light to remind me even if it slips my mind to get the oil changed. No excuse to forget.
My Nissan does too
Only newer cars have that
Those lights come on way after you should have changed your oil. How hard is it to remember to change every 3000 miles?
People just neglect cars...its that simple. They hop in put gas in and drive. When then engine rattles its time to change the oil lol.
You cant depend the oil change from the light on your dashboard if the light is out for whatever reason what would you do? So the best thing for your car is to check every 1000-1500 km the oil stick thats the right way.
Scotty, You are so right. My girlfriend's truck was making an awful lifter noise. I asked her how long since you changed the oil? She said, I can't remember!! Geez!! I pulled the plug and chunks of oil came out. It was ugly. I did an complete engine flush and then put in some high quality oil. Problem solved. Then I gave her a mild scolding. Cars are just too dang expensive to not, at the minimum, change the oil every 5K. And don't be cheap!! Use good oil and filters!!
I subscribed to scottys channel when he had 1.6M...now hes headed to 3M subscribers,woow scotty is a true motor hero!long live Scotty
Totally agree. The only thing long OCIs do is help dealers sell cars. 5k oil changes are a nice compromise between not being wasteful and engine longevity.
Breaker bars are worth every cent. 20 dollars at Harbor Freight with a lifetime warranty, it will make your life so much easier!
I'll second that one!
My 2014 Camry makes the same rattle on start up. Oil changed every 6000 using mobil 1 and Toyota filter. The VVT rattle was supposed to be fixed in the 2AR FE...it wasn’t.
I always thought that was a breaker bar lol never heard it referred to as an extension bar
At 3:12 I would remove the silver metal drain cover to insert the drain spout to lessen the 8 ounces of oil spilling out when the outer filter housing is removed with the metal filter tool. Then replace the smaller o-ring when screwing the metal drain cover back on.
Lol I've been changing my own oil for 12 years and have never changed the nylon drain plug gasket.. Oops 😅. I do wipe it clean though. No drips yet.
I have found that when removing tight bolts an 18v impact driver works as a good alternative to a breaker bar. I had a sump plug that wanted to slip rather than loosen, my impact drive made short work of it.
I little trick my father taught me when pouring oil from a large container was to turn it sideways, this allows air to enter container and makes the oil pour smoothly.
I love the filming underneath of the car when you unplug the oil drain, Scotty.
Not only was your video informative, it's also entertainment as well 3:56 and 6:08 😁😁
Btw: I think I'm one of very few female viewers who clicks on your video right away and even reads almost all of the comments but still don't know much about cars 😊 😅😔
You'll get there.
Yep
I knew nothing about cars as a teenage boy. After a few times being ripped off by car dealer repair shops I bought repair manuals and started to learn the basics. I never looked back and do almost all my own work and have saved thousands of $$ for myself and friends over the years. Sure I make mistakes but I make sure everything is done right in the end.
you my sweetie)
Hey Scotty, up here in Canada, I change the oil every 5000 kilometers, since I believe we have more extreme temperatures up here - -40C to +40C. You can never change the oil too often.
I think I'll skip tightening my drain plug with a breaker bar.
I use impact
You can gauge the force better with your fingertips than hauling on a shorter bar. There is method in his madness
I use my 1/2’’ air impact gun and rattle it on until it stops . If I strip the threads, I use an ample amount of red RTV sealant and than only put it on barely finger tight .
Use a torque wrench set at the correct torque as listed in the workshop manual .
I had a similar problem on my 2014 4 cylinder Camry SE that I bought used with around 40,000 miles. I changed the oil (and filter) with a quality synthetic several times but the oil always came out very dark. The clatter started to get loud around 55,000 miles. I thought the prior owner may have skipped oil changes causing sludge buildup in the engine. So I performed motor oil flush before I changed my oil. The cold start clatter improved considerably after several more oil/filter changes over the next 18 months. I also noticed my oil remains clean much longer and never comes out black like it did when I bought the car.
My friends 2017 Camry has a 10,000 mile oil change interval. Free factory maintenance for the first 24 months or 24,000 miles. It uses 0w20 synthetic. I would never go that far between oil changes. Perhaps this was the case with your car.
Toyota says on the new cars to wait 10 minutes after you turn it off to let it drain to check the oil fluid level.
That's because someone sued them after hot oil got on them lol plus used oil can cause cancer and if it's hot it will penetrate your skin more so ware gloves like Scotty.
Hi, Scotty. My brake lights won’t turn off but will when I turn car off. No inside brake switch. Switch is under hood. Switch is fine. Disconnected all lights at rear and the roof brake light stays on. BCM also checked working. I will drive from Dallas for you to look at it. 2012 Jetta S 2.0
Wix filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum !
I’m not sure if they did away with low oil/check oil lights but my 09 Camry dosent have one. I happened to check oil and stick was bone dry. The oil wasn’t due to be changed either. Toyota had a huge class action suit for knowingly using defective pistons/rings in my motor and other models for several years. The dealer would only replace pistons/rings if it failed oil consumption test. I made sure it failed and fixed for free in 2018. If I hadn’t checked the oil, it could have ruined motor. All isn’t great with Toyota. My next car is a Honda Ridgeline or single cab 4x4 F-150 ifI can find one.
Don’t know how Scotty, a millionaire, is still working as a mechanic! Such a humble guy 🙏🏼
Fevian Cortes Why would be stop? This is the reason why he is a millionaire! He's industrious and motivated! And...why do you write 'as a mechanic?'. Do you think it is a crappy profession! The mechanics I know (two of them) are millionaires.
Prob because his grandfather stopped working then died shortly thereafter.
Fevian, read the book the Millionaire Next Door. In a nutshell, the book talks about living a pretty modest lifestyle and gradually accumulating assets over a long period of time. The millionaires in the book are not interested in flaunting wealth.
Carl Rest Mechanics make decent money and I don’t know if you’re the offended kind because I’m not sure why you think I meant that being a mechanic is a crappy profession? Even though I am not a mechanic, I work on my own cars and enjoy it so I have lots of respect for this profession. By my comment I meant Scotty makes good money on YT and he still does what he loves. His garage and home looks very humble unlike most TH-camrs who tend to flash their wealth at any opportunity. He is a role model to those who are wealthy but still live as if they were not! That’s what my comment meant 👍🏼
@@fcg243 When you love what you do the amount of money you make is not as relevant as some would think. It's not work and it never gets old
My 2009 Corolla had that same exact problem. I bought it new off the lot and it developed slowly after only a couple years. Well it kept up until I sold it a couple years back and had over 100k miles. I had read something about cam shaft not bringing oil to the top of the engine on cold start, but I have no idea. I did change regularly in the beginning, but alas slacked off. Thanks for the vids!
Keeping your oil changed is the basics
One of the first things you learn.
and the most important
Yes but lots of people don't do it
Got an 2009 v6 AWD coming up on 200,000 miles soon hoping to get maybe 300,000 miles out of it. I see Older Honda Pilots everywhere and I think they can get to 300 to 400 thousand miles.
Most toyota engines had a recall for that start clatter... It is the locking pin in the vvt cam assembly and of course bad maintenance
You don't know what a recall is..
Don't know if this helps anyone, but I have three I.D. sizes of conduit, cut to 12" and 20", making six individual pieces. They slide into each other when stowed. I use them as cheater bars slipped over the ratchet handles & lug wrenches. Makes it easier to create a custom length if needed...just slides along the ratchet handle to create a total useable length.
When you don't put the right gas in you hear the valves too.
That sound isn't the valves...it is detonation, also known as pinging.
It does sound like valve noise but it's not.
It happens when you use AMPM 87 octane gas 🤦🏻♂️
There are a few oddball engines out there. On an air cooled Porsche with an oil tank, you check it hot and idling. The difference between the dipstick marks is somewhere between 1 and 2 quarts, and the sloshing oil makes reading the dipstick a bit subjective.
"I'm gonna run some quality oil in it"
***pulls out 5qt jug of STP conventional***
(Scotty, don't those take synthetic 0W20??)
The middle Half synthetic, high mileage oil.
You are talking absolute sense. People should take care of their cars.
Next monday video. Scotty: Today I'm going to talk to you about on why you should start riding your bicycle, gueswhat, no fuel, no insurance required or registration and no costly repair.
bicycles, scooters, go carts , cart cars everywhere would work. a lot less gas consumption, a lot less traffic. cars are a lot more expensive to own these days than way back when....
Don't get a Walmart bike, Money Pits!
The Best Bike to Buy for Under $40
ABSolutely..........most people are overweight, as we live in a generation of sitters.......
ok been riding/fixing them for years. Whatever you purchase new, from whomever: PLEASE check the assembly of all parts, especially the brakes. I had to reverse the return springs in the brake assembly on the front two parts, where the pads are bolted to the arm where the cable pulls. One end of the spring 90 degree bend is longer than the other, and it kept popping out of the arm, causing imbalance on one side, causing that side to rub the wheel. Reversing them solved the problem.....you may also drill a hole under the main crank, on bike frame, and install a grease nipple. Pump it full of grease, as this will displace water......etc.
Going to check the videos to see what Scotty says regarding synthetic oil,
"Fools are destroying these beautiful motors! ..."
Beautiful motor? Relax bro it’s a shitty old highlander
kostas dramoudanis Those 3.5 V6s Are tanks of motors
@@kostasdramoudanis2627 beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some people find beauty in reliability and longetivity, nobody said it was a Ferrari
Beautiful motors ? Hahaha, little Japanese 4 bangers.
Absolute, this 4 stroke are compared to all the other manufacturers with big distance the best construct for customers to set on. Only perhaps Hondas are around its perfect construction. It is dreamfull compared to this crapy VW , Mercedes ect, to hear after a cold start my 2.5 litre rav4 hybrid Ar 2017 engine. Alot better than these child toy sized 1.6 litre turbocharged engines, from the most manufacturers....only the Hondas with small turbo engines are often be able, to make it great.
Compare old oil filter o-ring position at 3:42 with new o-ring position at 3:50.. New one was installed in wrong position.. It does not go in last groove as Scotty stated..
Ask me how I know.. 2011 Rav4..
4:43 scotty you started the car with the dipstick out :D
He must of went oh shi and stop recording and put it back and started recording agin
@@DUBMANS I mean it happened to me so many times cant blame him, its just funny seeing others do it aswell!
Haaa. It magically disappeared. 😂
This vehicle only has a leaf or two under the hood compared to the usual piles of leaves.
This guy didn't take care of his vehicle obviously
Hi Scotty! Had some Geo Metros, for almost 10 years. LOVED it. The manuals got GREAT mileage, easy for us non-mechanically challenged to work on. Dropped rings in 2 of them and drove them another 5 years. Now you can't get parts, and I sold mine. What solutions are out there to replace it? Thanks.
Scotty started the engine without replacing the dipstick. Haha! The cap was on, though!
I saw that too
Loved the pop-up that came up when you said you can't always trust the published data!!!
Oil is cheap, change it unless you want to walk !
Hi, Scotty,
2010 Corolla LE, I got P0171 with check engine light, vsc flashing and trac off warning lights on. I diagnosed and replaced the MAF sensor and the gas cap. This fixed my problem temporarily. The problem came back after a few days/weeks, but the strange thing is: if I remove the gas cap and reattached it again, then it goes after a few miles of driving. Even this doesn't fix permanently, problems keep coming back again and again. I would really appreciate if you can give me some more details about this problem.
I too love giant jugs, and I always trust my dipstick.
got a ford f150 with the 4.9 engine and yes on cold starts its dry knocking BAD for a second because the last owners in the past never changed the oil meaning i got tons of sludge and i do indeed do the valve cover inside is loaded with it
"Jack stand for safety..." I don't know who you are anymore, Scotty.
Scotty I run rotella t6 540 synthetic in my 2004 Chevy 4.8 liter V8 and right now I'm doing six months between oil changes and that is when I hit the 6-month mark my oil is still at 30% life left and I'm running about 120,000 miles every 6 months I refused to run anything other than t6 in my because it resists thermal break down at the end of the oil change my oil life is usually about 30% left
Dont forget to change your oil guys lol
oil is cheap. engines are not.
Change my what?
😂🤣
I need femal help me change it😂
Scotty I have a 94 Camry! It was my Mom's car. There is a small amount of gas on the outside of the tank. The engine light comes on at 1/4 full goes off at 1/2 full. It is not dripping it is not hitting the ground at all. It looks like it is coming from the side of tank and running across tank. Never touched ground. My gas mileage is exactly the same. My tank does not empty fast at all. Where do you think the gas could be leaking from? Appears to be coming from side of tank but I don't know enough to know. Maybe a fuel line? Or a fuel module? And could a good honest mechanic tell me just by looking at it? Thank you for your help. Your videos have been a lifesaver!
Scotty, why don’t you encourage using torque wrenches?
Really, with this long arm you can over tight very easily and ruin the threads.
Each screw and bolt on a car has a recommended torque.
I agree! I usually use shorter wrench/ratchet on oil drain plugs, so that I don't have too much leverage! The best way is the torque wrench though. Especially for the inexperienced DIY person.
After 52 years, I'm sure Scotty can torque to the proper spec just by feel. I've seen old mechanics do it time after time.
Scotty uses the long wrench cause he doesn't jack the car up high enough to get under it far enough to reach the drainplug with a shorter wrench.
Mr. Honda says 10000km oil change or 12 months whatever comes first, Castrol oil.
Never skipped, mostly before due, never had engine problems with Honda engines.
Not even with the ones I boosted with aftermarket turbo’s.
Savage Scotty at it again
Hi Scotty. New oil will always be cheaper than a new engine. When filling the car with oil turn the can on its side before pouring that way it won't spurt oil all over your engine.
Considering the car was neglected, would a one time flush be good idea?
I wouldn't. Those flushes can cause damage in an engine with that mileage.
I would error to the side of never flushing anything
Best thing would be to drive it 1000 miles or so then change the oil & filter again.
@@hughbrackett343 exactly
Put a can of seafoam in it about 100 miles before you change the oil again. Perfectly safe and cleans very well
We had an old rattly Toyota like that. I found that using a little thicker oil helped somewhat.
Almost 3 million subs. Go Scotty!
We have a Chevy Malibu that always makes this noise with cold start up and we always use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, or Mobil 1 extended performance and the cold start ups are always rough with only 80k miles!
I like to puff on the Cannabis Cigar and get all schmoked up while watching the Scotty Kilmers videos.
It's amazing what CLEAN OIL will do to make your Engine Last Longer
Scotty has the ears of a young dolphin
I have a third generation 4 Runner with 113K miles. I recently took it to firestone for an oil change, but they drained the oil and forgot to refill. After driving it for approximately 30 miles, I looked at the dipstick and realized it was bone dry. No significant noises from the engine. We were getting ready to sell the vehicle for 10K. What do you all recommend we do? Thank you in advance.
Put Amsoil in it
Scotty, Thank you. Just Awesome. God Bless you.
Scotty is right that is why I watch his videos I have a 2011 Toyota Camry and I take it to the Toyota dealership to get my oil changed and I check the dipstick before I leave the lot always check your vehicle after you have someone maintenance it.
Quality oil??? You just added STP?
Okey Scotty this is a 2.5 engine , why are you using regular 5w-20 and not 0w-20. Please explain
I feel like that I am under the car with you. Excellence!!!
Outstanding Video showing the importance of oil Changes. Thanks Scotty!
"I'm just cheap, I pay a lot less" Well said lol
Scotty, I have a 2012 highlander limited with the 3.5V6. I religiously do regular maintenance and have the knocking/metallic on cold starts too.
Theres that Toyota quality again.....clunk clunk variable valve noise....My Ford old 2.3 has 250,000 miles still smooth and quiet.
I believe that may have been a Mazda engine ?
@@marcpikas2859 yep :)
I've the exact same car + engine. I do my own maintenance + oil changes. Don't forget to reset the 'service engine soon' indicator.
I would think that the oil light should have come one for the lady whose car only had a 1/2 a quart of oil.
It probably was. She just got so used to it being on all the time that she just ignores it now.
@@brucejones2354 That makes sense and probably so.
i need feedback from you all as one of my friends had purchased a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee 2021, SRT (now it has 12k miles) but it has so many issues for the past year or so. It stalls in the middle of the freeway at 70mph and breaks won't deploy as the electronics shut down. It stops/stalls basically everywhere and you have to tow to the closest Dodge dealer and they have no clue to fix this issue. None of these occasions the check engine light came up. When you hear the engine before it dies off you can hear as if there is a massive air leak or something. Any advice would be great. What a waste of $75K.
How is the Cherokee going? Do you still have it?
I'm surprised you don't have drive on ramps.
he’s had jacks and jack stands for a long time so he doesn’t want to go buy something else.
He doesn’t because he doesn’t want the car to fall and kill him. Those ramps aren’t reliable
He likes the exercise
@@pigetteincestbehindadildoh5596 Amen! I got rid of mine when I saw from the scratch marks in the pavement just how much the things spread out.
Am commenting from Nairobi Kenya. I recently took my Nissan Skyline 250Gt for an oil change to quick fit Centre. I was quoted for 7lit of oil and an oil filter. When I queried that the handbook mentions that the oil required is 4.8 lit, they quickly mentioned that they thought it was a Skyline GTR. So you see scams are worldwide
6:05 Very true
Except snowflakes believe EVERY thing they see and hear
Hi Scotty. Please help. I have a 2004 Highlander V6 3.3L AWD with 300,000 KMS. My engine is toast. Oil light came on and a bad knocking sound started happening. I was told it's not the oil pump. It's the bottom end of the engine. I've been advised not to replace the engine ($2500 US) because the transmission has a lot of milage on it. Should I say bye or give it a try? Body is in great shape and underside has some rust as I live in Canada. Thanks Scotty! Love your vids!
