When you change your brake pads, open the bleeder valve to get the fluid out when you compress the caliper and don't force it back thru the system. Forcing it back thru can mess up the ABS, plus it helps get old fluid out. Just make sure you don't run the master cylinder dry.
30 -40 yrs ago they talked about flushing antifreeze every couple years. Now my technicians tell me don't even touch it as long as its color is good and it's working leave it indefinitely. In 12 years owning an 8 cyl cylinder Jaguar I never did a flush only drained some of the fluid once when there was a little problem with the AC. In my 2002 BMW 3 Series I did a complete cooling system change out of all parts because they're known to be faulty and that was over 5 years ago and I haven't changed the antifreeze since.
Tectron is a very good additive. A coworker who drove a Mercedes Benz used it in the 1980's to keep fuel injectors clean. My Dodge Shadow never hand an engine or fuel injector problem for 8 years, until it was hit and destroyed. I still use it today.
I didn't used any cleaners, boosters, performance additives etc for my whole career as a driver. You wont believe me, but i had just 1 fuel pump die due to electrical short in it. It was just old and died naturally. No other problems encountered.
@@mmllmmll22 many say that oil companies put enough additives in their blends, as per government requirements, that no additional ones are necessary. Sounds like your experience is proof of that!
Shotgun method used by most repair shops- replace all parts the *could possibly* be the problem. Easier and more profitable then troubleshooting the root cause. Shotgun method ensures the customer wont return for the same issue.
Only with cars younger than 20 years if you’re having a 20 plus year old car NGK copper plugs are the way to go as those old cars can’t get much use out of those highend iridium plugs.
I can sum this video up in four words. READ THE OWNERS MANUAL!!! on most cars that people would be driving they tell you nearly all of this information. Regurgitation at its finest.

TOP TIP right there. If you keep charging up your battery over many months then it's kaput! Many cases the cells are done bas they'll be bone dry with no fluid in it it's toast.
Hi if you (if) you drive 300 plus miles a day none stop or sometimes one stop… how often you should change the engine synthetic oil? 5k miles. And Transmission Fluids? 30k miles? Thanks
He probably should have been more specific. No oil additives, no coolant additives. Fuel additives for cleaning injectors can be beneficial. Or you could remove your fuel injectors and have them cleaned and flow tested.
You missed one more important thing. CHANGE YOUR CABIN FILTER AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR! a $5 cabin air filter is 300x cheaper than replacing your evaporator core due to debris and mold damage. Replacing the evaporator while dismantling all your dashboard can cost thousands of dollars!
I've always used good gas, i'm form the UK & 95% of the time use either ESSO, BP or Shell. never had an issue in my 35yrs of driving. Many Brits go to cheap supermarkets & over time they will have issue. Been in the car trade over 36yrs too....seen some cheap car owners indeed.
Look, An engine additive works. I use an engine additive that coats seals. I have a ten year old Malibu that has 150000 miles . Has needed only spark plugs and PCV Always change those Twice a year oil change. On my car I may have spent $4000 all told maintenance wise, over 10 years Oh yes the additive. B&G
I like a lot of these but I have never once used fuel injector cleaner and I've never had a problem with it that s***'s snake oil but you should avoid low quality gas places that have that super cheap gas like Arco. I just had a supercharged mustang and I couldn't make it to another place so I filled up with theirs premium of course and I still started having misfires and as soon as I refilled the tank they went away
Not changing coolent leads to a blown head gasket, it becomes acidic over time and eats through the head gasket, the new pink stuff is supposed to last longer like 100,000 miles,but if you don't have the pink stuff change it every few years
Am shaking in my boots as a mechanic 😂 silly.. why wouldn't we want them to know about this? It really doesn't matter they still won't do it 😂 .. in the end.. good video! Thumbs up!
This video is garbage bro ...coolant flush is necessary running a fuel cleaner with todays GDI motors for sure needs to be done tire pressure most mechanics check an air filter why even mention it .....he should of said change the PCV valve to prevent issues which most mechanics don't even mention it lucky I know about cars cause this video is garbage
they said to use injector cleaner, not a fuel additive, there is a difference. you dont need to clean up the fuel, but over time you injectors do build up with deposits and need some cleaning.
Major fuel distributors sell Top Tier fuel that has a detergent added to keep your fuel injectors clean. But not all distributors carry Top Tier fuel. Costco has Top Tier, Walmart and Sam's club does not at this time. There should be a Top Tier fuel sticker on the fuel pump. Read your owners manual under fuel and it will tell you they prefer Top Tier fuel. Study Top Tier fuel. You buy a lot of gas.
You're absolutely right that many fuels come with additives already mixed in, and for most drivers, that’s enough. In some cases, though, like for older engines or specific performance needs, additional additives may help if used carefully.
Sams club and costco have subpar gas that causes issues so i add lucas fuel injector cleaner every tank and i always choose sams 93 grade i stay away from costco gas
Costco in the US does half a billion gas transactions every year, nearly all to frequent repeat purchasers. It would be wildly obvious if Costco gas was sub-par.
I have had two vehicles that give me check engine lights when I fill up and my sister has one. It used to be a top tier gasoline but they took those signs down about three years ago. Which is about when I started having issues now I switched to Sam's club and voila no more issues so yeah their gas sucks.
I am a master technician and car maintenance fanatic. As Costco is a top tier rated gasoline vendor and a convenient place for me to fuel my cars, my cars all run on Costco gas about 95% of the time for years. No fuel related issues with my cars ever. Sam's Club is not top tier gasoline. And why anyone who talks badly about a product but admits to using it regularly, is beyond me.
Did u not read what I just wrote the Costco by me does not advertise the top tier gasoline anymore which means it's not and I stopped using it when they stopped being top tier because it caused me issues. It hasn't been top tier for three years here in Bedford pk. Illinois. If I were you I would check for the advertisement at your gas station. Nine out of ten it's not top tier either.
You started right but then your advice is adverse to motorists. Not flushing coolant, power Steering, brake fluids etc in time kills the related systems. It's like not changing engine Oil. Fluids wear out by heat, use and wear-tear from mechanical parts in their systems. Air con will freeze you to death even without additives in your coolant. Water alone is coolant, antifreeze is an additive, added to the water (coolant). I barely scratched surface here, please don't mislead people.
Depends on car! Honestly better off googling for your specific car. My old BMW had lifetime transmission oil so it should NEVER be changed, unless it’s leaking or something. My New Hyundai has oil that should be changed everyone ~30k miles.
@@scavenger117 There is no such thing as lifetime transmission oil my friend that's how u break the transmission I always change it in the BMW and there is no issues they sell fluid for a reason not when u destroy your transmission
Don't use additives but use injector cleaner, !! Ingnor 15k oil change reminder to save money and a trip yo the garage 😂😂 brake fluid change every 3 yrs 😂😂 topping up coolant is a simple "trick" 😂😂 oh my god, I've never heard such bad, ill-informed car maintenance advice..
😂😂 reading isn’t your strength aye, every car manufacturer in his service schedules says Brakefluid should be changed every two to three years and clutch fluid aswell whilst doing a Brakefluid change. Fuel system cleaner goes in with every 10.000km’s oilchange. But I am sure your mate can do it cheaper on your shitbox
This video has a bunch of bad advise, fuel cleaner additives absolutely work, if your power steering fluid is dirty DO flush it. Follow the owners manual and change fluids when recommended. Many components fail on vehicles because fluids get dirty and wear parts faster than they would with clean fluid or oil.
This is loaded with misinformation or incomeplet information. The things they add to gasoline are ethonyl and if you don't clean your fuel system, this will clog your fuel injectors. The exception is if you buy premium gasoline with these additives already in there, but cheap and mid gas will not have them. Additives for oil are for high mileage vehicles and now we have high mileage oil. They are not the same thing though. The owner's manual tells you not to just change your oil, but inspect or change various components of the vehicle to catch them before they catastrophically fail. It doesn't take a mechanic to do this, but it is a bit more intensive than just changing the oil. Never check or inflate your tires while the have been driven. You need to let the air cool for up to 2 hours to get a correct reading. Coolant flushes are important based on the owner's manual and usage. Duh. Why would mechanics not want you to know this? They don't even charge for labor on an engine air filter. Avoid overfilling anything. This is completely against the first point. Literally the opposite of what you said in point 1. Big box stores have the greatest turnover on batteries so they have newer ones. Most automatic tensioners have a guide on them to tell your when the belt has stretched too far or the tensioner has failed. Brake fluid is also very caustic. Use PPE.
Premium fuel does contain ethanol depending where you buy your fuel. Pumps with one hose and three flavor still have trace amounts in the hose whip. Since they are dispensed using the same hose whip. Plus, tankers that carry our fuel to the station may not always see a rinse down before different loads.
@@shawngegelman6041 I wasn't trying to imply that premium fuel had no ethynol in it. I was saying that it had detergents added to deal with the gummed up hydrocarbons it leaves behind from impartial combustion.
😂. You mean quick lubes don't want you to know. Actual mechanics will tell you oil aditives aren't nessary. However fuel injection cleaning and fuel aditives are much needed. Think of it this way, coming from a mechanic things get dirty over time. You dont need to service your fuel injectors, we can just replace them and make more money😂. But if you decide to we can clean your injectors when they clog up and you cant drive past 20mph.

Note: People are not necessarily stupid if they have open minds and are willing to learn.

1.) Include warning about never opening radiator cap until engine is cool.
2.) Include how to tell manufacture date on tires.
