You'll probably find that most engines would last that long with the factory oil. Remember, the engine has reached total failure there, so that's why the oil change interval is set far lower than that (12-15k miles or 1 year), to avoid ever getting close to that.
meh I am not surprised in the slightest that an engine that has never had an oil change in 78k miles does not start because the guy doing that wanted that to happen simple🤣🤣🤣
@@wertbe1718 Nah that's very excessive, unless perhaps on a specialised engine like a Wankel rotary. Every 12k is fine, else you're just wasting your energy. Realistically most cars could probably do 20k miles per oil change and be okay.
@@Travis-guy-247 it's one of those things that's very preferential. So many mixed opinions over the years there really isn't a right answer. I personally would not feel comfortable going more than roughly 9k without changing the oil on any car, but if that works for someone else then by all means. Plus, working on cars is like my only hobby, so changing the oil isn't a drag for me.
I knew a nurse who said "I'm never buying a lexus again." We said why? She said it suddenly died. Well that's weird. Did you do regular oil changes and maintenance checks? She said " you don't need oil changes! I've had it for 10 years. They don't do that anymore." My thought was should I be worried that a Nurse is dumb enough to believe you don't need an oil change or possibly she might not be smart enough to do her job. Oil always breaks down.
Well, if you're never taught something, you can't be expected to know it, just because your mechanic doesn't know what a larynx is doesn't mean you can't trust him to do his job
Was a mechanic for almost 20 years- seen engines siezed due to lack of an oil change only twice. Once was a car just out of warranty with the factory oil, once was a street sweeper the opperator was only adding oil & not bringing it in for scheduled replacement. Both customers were super upset at us due to cost & down time of repairs - excepted zero responsibility for it.

Bro using jb weld instead of putting on a new filter is WILD and how tf do women go 78,000 miles in life without knowing you have to change the oil of your car.
I have to say it's actually unusually thoughtful for a guy to be like "Ok, I tried changing my own brakes but clearly I did something wrong so I'm gonna take it to a professional and get it done right". Compared to the average customer in these videos it's pretty good awareness
It has become commonplace for people now days to NEVER admit they did something stupid. They fake about everything in their lives, because it is easier than educating themselves.
"pretty good awareness" would have been to be aware of the right parts for your vehicle, and while installing the WRONG parts to realize that something just isnt right about these new "wrong" parts. Got to wonder what some of these folks do for a living...probably some mind less 8 hour activity, or they dont work at all and just collect from the gov like so many
My uncle, an airplane pilot, way back in the early 70's, came to our house. My dad and him were talking and dad ask him about oil changes. He had a brand-new Caddy, had put on 40,000 miles and never changed the oil. this was when you changed oil every 3000 miles. Here he was a pilot and they had to worry about the planes they flew and proper maintenace. He never thought about his car. I am sure my dad made him take it to the caddy dealership and have them work on it. He was so lucky my dad was there. BTW Great video. I was worried for a couple of days. Glad we got one today!!
To be fair not too much has changed you should still change your oil by the 5,000 mark, all those oils that claim to go 10 or 20K are complete bullshit. They are just as dead at 5,000 miles as the old oils.
My grandpa was a corporate pilot in the 80s. One night, driving home after a long flight, he saw a large tree branch across the road. He pulled back on the steering wheel to go "up" and destroyed the front suspension in his car. Don't drive tired I guess lol

I have been retired for a decade, live two miles from the nearest auto parts store, do not have a second car or driver at home, do not have a shop lift. Yet my 19 year old car runs as well as it did on the first day it left the dealership. How is that possible?1. a detailed and computerized list of repairs by date and mileage; 2. a separate detailed and computerized list of servicing and parts replacement at the next shop interval; 3. buying parts in advance of taking the car into a shop; 4. listening, writing down recommendations. 2. If you do number 1 above, you don't have to have a knowledge of cars. All you need in common sense, which is not very common.
@@snowrocket assuming they even work. probably sitting home collecting all day - hence why they drive such a POS vehicle to begin with. some people dont want better for themselves.
Why....would you buy a new car....and not even do the most BASIC maintenance on it? It baffles me. You can spend $20-40k on a new vehicle...but not $80 for an oil change every 6 months or so? (Or like $40-50ish if you wanna do it yourself) I mean good lord...even JUST doing regular oil changes will get your car to 300k miles before it croaks. (I mean, of course there will be the usual brakes, rotors, etc...) But oil changes are just the most basic and effective thing you can do for any engine.
Wow that was just like my old neighbor. He would get a leased car drive it to and from work( commuted to Chicago about 120 miles a day) for 2 years. He never changed oil, tires brakes, nothing. Saw him stopping one early evening sparks were coming from his front brakes. Flagged him down he's like yeah I know, I just use the emergency if I want to stop quicker. He had garbage piled high in it and would just have it cleaned , barely , before taking to dealer, saying I need a new lease and you have 1 hour to do it. They would fall all over him and he would get new lease and drive off, destroying another car.
I can't decide if he is a scummy person thinking that he is saving money or actively evil for actively destroying the cars. I also can't shake the feeling that he causes more environmental damage than 10 cars that are taken care of in the same period of time thus becoming the very model of what environmentalists love to point to as a reason why we need to immediately go electric, thus making him even worse as a human being.
One of the reasons I'm wary of leased cars, fleet cars, and rental cars as used car purchases. I met a guy in the 1980s who did the same thing with leased Hondas. I'd hate to be the people who bought these ruined cars!
I'm sure he has the dealership general manager by the short hairs to get that kind of service. I wonder what kind of "work" this old neighbor does! A wholesaler of alternative pharmaceuticals?
@@WastedTalent- On a happier thought they might be bought by people who will actually care for them instead. **'In the Arms of an Angel' intensitifies.**

@@whatevername4873 Brakes are relatively easy. It's just unscrewing stuff, replacing pads and rotors, and screwing back together.

One of my engineer friend got married to a Chinese woman who is a Phd chemist. He asked her the last time she changed her oil and she asked him what he was talking about. He found the original oil filter intact in her Toyota. She had about 50,000 miles on it and it was running fine. He changed the oil and filter immediately. It's not that unusual. I can imagine what the engine looked like internally. The world is filled with the clueless. Love those brake calipers , a real craftsman there. Great show -
Worse part is, trying to help them will often result in derision. And sometimes performing that super-delayed maintenance will trigger some other issue.
I blame the invention of electronic ignition and long lasting spark plugs! When cars had points and condensers, the points would need replacing at about the same time the oil would need changing. And the plugs might start getting weak by the next oil change. All of this demands that the owner be mindful of maintenance. In any case, the points eventually wouldn't do their job and the car wouldn't start. A built in protective device to compel servicing! The car would then taken in for a tune up. At the same time, the garage would look at the dipstick and recommend an oil and filter change while it's there. Maybe even upsell a new air filter as well! Even though I hated points and condensers, they often forced the car owner to open the hood and peruse around to see what else might be wrong. Computers automatically compensate for wear and tear, which means the car runs well for a long time and the owner has no idea of what's really happening.
I bought a 1960 Plymouth plain Jane from my high school English teacher. I change oil and lubed it. After awhile the valve train rattled. Took off the valve cover and it looked a lot like the engine in the video. She told me "Oil doesn't wear out. I always had them change the oil filter and add a quart." I told her it may not wear out but it sure does get dirty. Loved that lady. She knew English, but had no mechanical sense.
Dude... how do people get to the point of installing a new oil pan, and still think it's okay to cut their FRAME IN HALF?!?!? THESE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING NEXT TO ME LMAOOO
Using wood screws on vehicles is one of my pet hates. About 10 years ago i worked for a guy who imported mainly 70s era Kawasaki's (Z1, Z900/1000's Mach 3's and 4's etc) plus, later 60's muscle cars, from the U.S into NZ for the classic restoration scene. The amount of times i saw wood screws used as fasteners led me to believe its a very common practice, another common bodge i noticed was hose clamps/ jubilee clips used to hold the front sprocket on😆😆
I throughly enjoy your videos. Years ago I was a certified GM technician and I was amazed at how some people neglected their cars. But what you are seeing today boggles the mind. What is someone thinking to not be changing oil on a $30 to $80 thousand dollar car?
My dad had a 1988 Chevy Cavalier 5 speed wagon that he never changed the oil in. He drove it for over 200,000 miles and would just add a little oil if it was low. That car also never needed the clutch replaced. I don't know what higher power was invoked to make that car last as long as it did, but it was beyond impressive. It eventually rusted to pieces.
@@leftyo9589 The strange thing is that the engine didn't leak oil or burn oil(enough to need to add a lot of oil all the time). It was literally the most robust engine and transmission that I have ever encountered. When that car finally fell apart from rust, my dad tried another Cavalier that was a 1993 if I recall, and that engine blew up with like 40k miles. His 1988 Cavalier was just a freak of manufacturing.
@@BryanWhite77 I think that was quite common in the days before computerised tool-setting. To allow for variations in manufacture designers allowed greater tolerances and relied on lubricants to minimise the slop. You might randomly get an engine assembled from parts which were a loose fit, or one where by chance all the components were exactly to specification. One engine would fall apart quickly, and the other would run forever, and it was pot luck what you got.
@@magicoddeffect american cars are the absolute least reliable vehicles on the road today. theres a reason a new ford is under 20k in todays market. you get what you pay for and thats doggy ass quality parts and engineering.
My last car did almost exactly 78000 miles without an oil change and ran like a sewing machine (in fact it's the only car I've ever sold as a runner). I changed the oil when I got it because I didn't know what had been put in there by previous owners, and I changed the oil filter about every 5000 miles, as recommended to me by a one-time engine designer. BUT: it was basically a 1960s- design engine and I wouldn't necessarily be quite so cavalier with a modern one. My engine designer source was at work in the middle of the 20th century and dead before the 1990s.
2:53 that reminds me of a time a friend of mine called me up for a CV axle replacement, saying they hear a loud clicking and sometimes banging noise coming from the wheels. Clicking = worn CV, replace ASAP, but I’ve never heard of a CV axle making a “banging” noise. So I show up and start with the driver side axle, notice it’s weirdly easy to remove, and it turns out the engine side of the axle had completely broken off. After pulling the axle, I had to pull the other end of the axle out of the tranny’s output. Idk how they managed to drive that car home, but they did say it had some really weird handling. Something tells me that’s the culprit. Or at least, one of the culprits anyways.
I love these stories about people shoving vast quantities of cigarette butts, sugared almonds or whatnot into convenient holes in the trim without ever wondering about the ultimate destination until the vehicle suffers the inevitable smell, rattle or rodent infestation. Where did they think all the detritus was going? Through a magic portal to Narnia?
actually, Lancia had a system of ashtray in the 60's where a shovel would scrape all ashes away when you close the tray and reopen it, all fell into a tin box to be emptied every maintenance... but yeah, the ideas some people have.
For me it looks like a hiding spot for a squirrels stash. Maybe it found a sweet alond package somewhere. I saw hiding spits that look like that. But am not sure how it got access to the place
I've had about 150$ 30 or so French fries some mac and cheese and some lamb with rice fall into my center console area no way to get it out. Cars been scrapped now. Also a cheeseburger got lost somewhere in that car got dropped under the hood and just...Poof...gone never found it
First clip, my mom finally got a brand new car just after Covid hit. Didn't get an oil change for 15,000 miles, was already ticking. I had to take it off of her and do it myself. Felt so bad for the car. Ain't no way her motor would have made it to 78000. Edit: By the time she traded it in at 45,000 miles, it needed a timing chain at the minimum. Meanwhile the vehicle she traded it for, same mileage and same engine model/year, was definitely treated correctly.
Ngl i did the same but i got mine right before covid and didnt keep it in mind since i was stuck at home most of the time and barely drove, then i noticed it was 15000 and went ohshit. Now i do it every 5000 no matter what. Hopefully i didnt fuck anything up the first time, its at just past 30k and it still runs like the day i drove it off.
45.000 miles sounds a bit low to change the timing belt, not that it would hurt. I do it every 100.000km (~62000). I also recommend changing the tensioner and water pump whenever you do so, theyre sure to need replacement, and it wont cost you extra labor.
@@henrlima87 skipping oil changes can clog the timing chain tensioner so it won't work properly. and a timing chain not tensioned correctly will "flutter", and that will make it stretch. not a common problem, but some parts are rather cheaply made...
@@Dime_Bar LOL are you stupid. If you have it you bought it. Not only did it cost more to use jb lube, jb lube simply can't repair a damaged oil filter and the amount of oil lost and spoiled to a damaged oil filter is costing more in damage occurred.
I'm pretty sure the last clip is a reference to Megas XLR. In one episode, protagonist Koop is frantically looking through the console of his "giant robot car" for the button to save the world. In the process, he scans through "Destroy the World", "Smite the World" and "Destroy the World WORSE" before finding the "Save the World" button, which is ripped out and inoperative. I'm almost positive that's what the driver was going for with the printed dash labels.
I'll be honest. I don't get too hung up on changing the oil right at 3,000 miles, but I do change it once every 45,000 miles whether it needs it or not. For real tho. How can someone not change their oil even once in 78,000 miles? Way to destroy a fairly newish engine.

Forgetting oil change? Engineers at Volkswagen seem to have found a solution! We had about 6 customers who were late to their oil change (maybe 10k over) an their Oil filters rusted through! 2 or 3 literally exploded because the metall got so thin.
A guy I work with, his little Diahatsu charade started leaving a thin trail of oil in and out of the work carpark, i asked him to pop the hood and took a look, the oil filter was rusted through. Helped him change the oil and filter and noticed a few things, to get to the filter, you remove the number plate and theres a round hole provided so you can reach through to install/remove the filter. And even with a new filter it only took barely 2 litres to fill it.😆
I felt bad when I had to wait an extra 1000 miles to get my oil changed due to an expensive tractor repair eating up my funds. These people are goofy as hell.
1:03 I had a similar situation happen to me back when I used to work for Jimmy Johns. I was a delivery driver, almost always worked evenings / closing, and the closing manager's car wasn't starting. Thinking maybe it was just a dead battery I pulled out my jumpers to help him out. Before connecting the jumper I noticed something off about the plugs. The Power wasn't securely fastened to the terminal. I think I used a gerber to tighten it and his car started right up. Funny thing was the store manager had a garage he and his friends used as a side gig and was the one that had worked on his car.
amusing - my father worked in a gas station when he was young but as an adult never changed the oil in the family pontiac. He would just add oil when the oil light would come on. When the car stopped working well, he gave the car to my mother. She took it to a mechanic. They took the engine apart to clean out all the sludge. It never ran well so they gave the car to me. It died in the college parking lot and i had it towed to a junkyard.
That first customer was probably my dad. He never changed the oil and claimed that he never had oil related problems. He just added a little oil at a time. He did have some engines seize or fail to start but according to him, it was never oil related. Go figure.
A guy I work with did the same thing with a civic after it got to 200k miles just to see how long it would keep going by just adding oil as it dropped and never changing the oil or filter and it made it to 278k before it seized up. It was a pure work and home commuter at that point so mostly highway, but still damn impressive.
@@TheLouisianan I once saw a civic throw a rod through the block on cylinder 4, guy kept adding oil and drove it for two more weeks before it finally gave out. I don't know about the new ones, but late 80's through 2000 Honda engines were unreal. The one in question was a 1990 4-door with I believe a D-series non-VTEC.
I worked with a woman who bought a car new and ran it without an oil change until around 60k before the engine blew. She said she thought oil needed to be changed every 30000 miles (confused with the old 3k rule) and knew she was "a little over". She explained that when she was young her father took care of car maintenance and then later her husband until she divorced. Good that new cars all have the maintenance warning lights for people like that.
I recently upgraded the modular PSU in my gaming PC, but my new AIO cooler would not work properly and I spent 3 agonizing days trying to figure out why, even exchanging the cooler for another one only to have the same problem. During the build, I ran out of SATA power cables, so I borrowed one from the previous PSU, and I later found out that since the two PSU's were different brands, the cable I borrowed had a different pin-out arrangement in the socket than the new one, so the AIO cooler was not getting the proper voltage. Once I replaced it with a SATA power cable with the correct pins, the problem was immediately solved, but I felt REALLY stupid, since I've been building gaming PC's for almost 20 years. (Never too old to learn something new.) However, I still don't feel nearly as stupid as the owners of these cars.
I've heard its VERY dangerous to use different psu cables, as they can cause some fuckery within a system unit, so it is best advised to use the cables that came with the PSU you currently have, thankfully nothing went wrong in your build tho!
On a new car, yes. I bought my truck used at a local Honda dealership and they offered me free oil changes for a year. I am quite particular in this, I only run Mobil1 and either a factory filter or K&N(not so much for performance, they're just way easier to get off). When I called they told me that they did not offer Mobil1. Ok, fine, Honda oil is still synthetic, so as long as the weights right I guess, however when they told me all they had were Honda filters, and that was what they intended to use on a Silverado, I decided to just do them myself. By the time I bought the oil and filter and brought it to them, I haven't saved jack squat.
They also had NO idea what they had in that truck, the window sticker had the paint color and several options wrong, listed as a work truck when it wasn't, and I got it for 9500 when the book was likely way higher. It needed some routine maintenance, but every person I've talked to told my I might as well have stolen that truck from them.
Kinda shocked that no one has noticed that the labels in the last clip are a reference to an old show called "Megas XLR," where the character is looking for the "save the world" button (which is broken)
3:04 the way these buttons are labeled are in reference to an old Cartoon Network cartoon called Megas XLR! Specifically "Destroy the world, Smite the world, Destroy the world WORSE" is a gag from one episode about dashboard buttons in a giant robot
Hope you guys have a great weekend!

JB WELD ON AN OIL FILTER LOL. They didn’t want to spend $20 bucks for a new one??? These people are on the roads with the rest of us
I have to say it's actually unusually thoughtful for a guy to be like "Ok, I tried changing my own brakes but clearly I did something wrong so I'm gonna take it to a professional and get it done right". Compared to the average customer in these videos it's pretty good awareness
It has become commonplace for people now days to NEVER admit they did something stupid. They fake about everything in their lives, because it is easier than educating themselves.
@@jeffkirkpatrick3621 No, they’re just too proud to admit it. I see it in myself often
"pretty good awareness" would have been to be aware of the right parts for your vehicle, and while installing the WRONG parts to realize that something just isnt right about these new "wrong" parts.

My uncle, an airplane pilot, way back in the early 70's, came to our house. My dad and him were talking and dad ask him about oil changes. He had a brand-new Caddy, had put on 40,000 miles and never changed the oil. this was when you changed oil every 3000 miles. Here he was a pilot and they had to worry about the planes they flew and proper maintenace. He never thought about his car. I am sure my dad made him take it to the caddy dealership and have them work on it. He was so lucky my dad was there. BTW Great video. I was worried for a couple of days. Glad we got one today!!
To be fair not too much has changed you should still change your oil by the 5,000 mark, all those oils that claim to go 10 or 20K are complete bullshit. They are just as dead at 5,000 miles as the old oils.
Commercial pilots don't do maintenance on the airplanes they fly.
Most pilots only pilot the plane.

Yet my 19 year old car runs as well as it did on the first day it left the dealership. How is that possible?1. a detailed and computerized list of repairs by date and mileage; 2. a separate detailed and computerized list of servicing and parts replacement at the next shop interval; 3. buying parts in advance of taking the car into a shop; 4. listening, writing down recommendations.
2. If you do number 1 above, you don't have to have a knowledge of cars. All you need in common sense, which is not very common.
@@snowrocket assuming they even work. probably sitting home collecting all day - hence why they drive such a POS vehicle to begin with. some people dont want better for themselves.
Why....would you buy a new car....and not even do the most BASIC maintenance on it? It baffles me.
You can spend $20-40k on a new vehicle...but not $80 for an oil change every 6 months or so? (Or like $40-50ish if you wanna do it yourself)
I mean good lord...even JUST doing regular oil changes will get your car to 300k miles before it croaks. (I mean, of course there will be the usual brakes, rotors, etc...)
But oil changes are just the most basic and effective thing you can do for any engine.
Bottom Line--some people should not be allowed to own a vehicle--walk or ride a bike--make the world a safer place!
Wow that was just like my old neighbor. He would get a leased car drive it to and from work( commuted to Chicago about 120 miles a day) for 2 years. He never changed oil, tires brakes, nothing. Saw him stopping one early evening sparks were coming from his front brakes. Flagged him down he's like yeah I know, I just use the emergency if I want to stop quicker. He had garbage piled high in it and would just have it cleaned , barely , before taking to dealer, saying I need a new lease and you have 1 hour to do it. They would fall all over him and he would get new lease and drive off, destroying another car.
I can't decide if he is a scummy person thinking that he is saving money or actively evil for actively destroying the cars. I also can't shake the feeling that he causes more environmental damage than 10 cars that are taken care of in the same period of time thus becoming the very model of what environmentalists love to point to as a reason why we need to immediately go electric, thus making him even worse as a human being.

The dude says everything monotone....almost think he is AI at this point.
One of my engineer friend got married to a Chinese woman who is a Phd chemist. He asked her the last time she changed her oil and she asked him what he was talking about. He found the original oil filter intact in her Toyota. She had about 50,000 miles on it and it was running fine. He changed the oil and filter immediately. It's not that unusual. I can imagine what the engine looked like internally. The world is filled with the clueless. Love those brake calipers , a real craftsman there. Great show -
Worse part is, trying to help them will often result in derision. And sometimes performing that super-delayed maintenance will trigger some other issue.
I blame the invention of electronic ignition and long lasting spark plugs! When cars had points and condensers, the points would need replacing at about the same time the oil would need changing. And the plugs might start getting weak by the next oil change. All of this demands that the owner be mindful of maintenance.
In any case, the points eventually wouldn't do their job and the car wouldn't start. A built in protective device to compel servicing! The car would then taken in for a tune up. At the same time, the garage would look at the dipstick and recommend an oil and filter change while it's there. Maybe even upsell a new air filter as well!
Even though I hated points and condensers, they often forced the car owner to open the hood and peruse around to see what else might be wrong. Computers automatically compensate for wear and tear, which means the car runs well for a long time and the owner has no idea of what's really happening.
Don't most cars give an oil change warning after a certain distance? Mine wouldn't let me forget until I got it changed.
@@my3dviews only modern cars, nothing I have owned earlier than 2015 had a warning and none of my friends or family have the feature.

I told her it may not wear out but it sure does get dirty. Loved that lady. She knew English, but had no mechanical sense.

Using wood screws on vehicles is one of my pet hates. About 10 years ago i worked for a guy who imported mainly 70s era Kawasaki's (Z1, Z900/1000's Mach 3's and 4's etc) plus, later 60's muscle cars, from the U.S into NZ for the classic restoration scene. The amount of times i saw wood screws used as fasteners led me to believe its a very common practice, another common bodge i noticed was hose clamps/ jubilee clips used to hold the front sprocket on😆😆

My dad had a 1988 Chevy Cavalier 5 speed wagon that he never changed the oil in. He drove it for over 200,000 miles and would just add a little oil if it was low. That car also never needed the clutch replaced. I don't know what higher power was invoked to make that car last as long as it did, but it was beyond impressive. It eventually rusted to pieces.
There's an old saying: "An American car will run like shit longer than other cars will run at all"
if it leaks enough, and you keep adding new, do you really need to change it?? LOL
@@leftyo9589 The strange thing is that the engine didn't leak oil or burn oil(enough to need to add a lot of oil all the time). It was literally the most robust engine and transmission that I have ever encountered. When that car finally fell apart from rust, my dad tried another Cavalier that was a 1993 if I recall, and that engine blew up with like 40k miles. His 1988 Cavalier was just a freak of manufacturing.
@@BryanWhite77 I think that was quite common in the days before computerised tool-setting. To allow for variations in manufacture designers allowed greater tolerances and relied on lubricants to minimise the slop. You might randomly get an engine assembled from parts which were a loose fit, or one where by chance all the components were exactly to specification. One engine would fall apart quickly, and the other would run forever, and it was pot luck what you got.
@@magicoddeffect american cars are the absolute least reliable vehicles on the road today. theres a reason a new ford is under 20k in todays market. you get what you pay for and thats doggy ass quality parts and engineering.
My last car did almost exactly 78000 miles without an oil change and ran like a sewing machine (in fact it's the only car I've ever sold as a runner). I changed the oil when I got it because I didn't know what had been put in there by previous owners, and I changed the oil filter about every 5000 miles, as recommended to me by a one-time engine designer. BUT: it was basically a 1960s- design engine and I wouldn't necessarily be quite so cavalier with a modern one. My engine designer source was at work in the middle of the 20th century and dead before the 1990s.
2:53 that reminds me of a time a friend of mine called me up for a CV axle replacement, saying they hear a loud clicking and sometimes banging noise coming from the wheels. Clicking = worn CV, replace ASAP, but I’ve never heard of a CV axle making a “banging” noise.
So I show up and start with the driver side axle, notice it’s weirdly easy to remove, and it turns out the engine side of the axle had completely broken off. After pulling the axle, I had to pull the other end of the axle out of the tranny’s output.
Idk how they managed to drive that car home, but they did say it had some really weird handling. Something tells me that’s the culprit. Or at least, one of the culprits anyways.

First clip, my mom finally got a brand new car just after Covid hit. Didn't get an oil change for 15,000 miles, was already ticking. I had to take it off of her and do it myself. Felt so bad for the car. Ain't no way her motor would have made it to 78000.
Edit: By the time she traded it in at 45,000 miles, it needed a timing chain at the minimum. Meanwhile the vehicle she traded it for, same mileage and same engine model/year, was definitely treated correctly.
Ngl i did the same but i got mine right before covid and didnt keep it in mind since i was stuck at home most of the time and barely drove, then i noticed it was 15000 and went ohshit. Now i do it every 5000 no matter what. Hopefully i didnt fuck anything up the first time, its at just past 30k and it still runs like the day i drove it off.
45.000 miles sounds a bit low to change the timing belt, not that it would hurt. I do it every 100.000km (~62000). I also recommend changing the tensioner and water pump whenever you do so, theyre sure to need replacement, and it wont cost you extra labor.
@@henrlima87 Timing chain, and yes it's quite a bit low. But that's what happens when you don't change your oil when you should.
@@gen157 if its a chain drive it should last a bit longer than a belt, but we are in agreement, oil compromises other components.

We had about 6 customers who were late to their oil change (maybe 10k over) an their Oil filters rusted through!
2 or 3 literally exploded because the metall got so thin.
A guy I work with, his little Diahatsu charade started leaving a thin trail of oil in and out of the work carpark, i asked him to pop the hood and took a look, the oil filter was rusted through. Helped him change the oil and filter and noticed a few things, to get to the filter, you remove the number plate and theres a round hole provided so you can reach through to install/remove the filter. And even with a new filter it only took barely 2 litres to fill it.😆
For those American viewers, 2 liters is roughly 2 quarts. You need 3.2 liters or 3.5 quarts of oil to normally fill it with filter.

1:03 I had a similar situation happen to me back when I used to work for Jimmy Johns. I was a delivery driver, almost always worked evenings / closing, and the closing manager's car wasn't starting. Thinking maybe it was just a dead battery I pulled out my jumpers to help him out. Before connecting the jumper I noticed something off about the plugs. The Power wasn't securely fastened to the terminal. I think I used a gerber to tighten it and his car started right up. Funny thing was the store manager had a garage he and his friends used as a side gig and was the one that had worked on his car.
amusing - my father worked in a gas station when he was young but as an adult never changed the oil in the family pontiac. He would just add oil when the oil light would come on. When the car stopped working well, he gave the car to my mother. She took it to a mechanic. They took the engine apart to clean out all the sludge. It never ran well so they gave the car to me. It died in the college parking lot and i had it towed to a junkyard.

I don't know about the new ones, but late 80's through 2000 Honda engines were unreal. The one in question was a 1990 4-door with I believe a D-series non-VTEC.
@@logicplague my coworker's was a 2001. I'm pretty sure Honda backed off the reliability from those to stay in business.
@@TheLouisianan It's everything these days it seems, planned obsolescence. Idk how it could be done, but the practice should be illegal.
1:34 I laughed way harder than I should have 😅
I worked with a woman who bought a car new and ran it without an oil change until around 60k before the engine blew. She said she thought oil needed to be changed every 30000 miles (confused with the old 3k rule) and knew she was "a little over". She explained that when she was young her father took care of car maintenance and then later her husband until she divorced. Good that new cars all have the maintenance warning lights for people like that.
Man those people with the idk why my car starts with out a key and they having a spare inside the car the whole time just kills me with laughter 😭😭🤣🤣
I recently upgraded the modular PSU in my gaming PC, but my new AIO cooler would not work properly and I spent 3 agonizing days trying to figure out why, even exchanging the cooler for another one only to have the same problem. During the build, I ran out of SATA power cables, so I borrowed one from the previous PSU, and I later found out that since the two PSU's were different brands, the cable I borrowed had a different pin-out arrangement in the socket than the new one, so the AIO cooler was not getting the proper voltage. Once I replaced it with a SATA power cable with the correct pins, the problem was immediately solved, but I felt REALLY stupid, since I've been building gaming PC's for almost 20 years. (Never too old to learn something new.) However, I still don't feel nearly as stupid as the owners of these cars.
I've heard its VERY dangerous to use different psu cables, as they can cause some fuckery within a system unit, so it is best advised to use the cables that came with the PSU you currently have, thankfully nothing went wrong in your build tho!
Imagine having full service package and not utilising it for every cent 🤯
On a new car, yes. I bought my truck used at a local Honda dealership and they offered me free oil changes for a year. I am quite particular in this, I only run Mobil1 and either a factory filter or K&N(not so much for performance, they're just way easier to get off). When I called they told me that they did not offer Mobil1. Ok, fine, Honda oil is still synthetic, so as long as the weights right I guess, however when they told me all they had were Honda filters, and that was what they intended to use on a Silverado, I decided to just do them myself. By the time I bought the oil and filter and brought it to them, I haven't saved jack squat.
They also had NO idea what they had in that truck, the window sticker had the paint color and several options wrong, listed as a work truck when it wasn't, and I got it for 9500 when the book was likely way higher. It needed some routine maintenance, but every person I've talked to told my I might as well have stolen that truck from them.
Kinda shocked that no one has noticed that the labels in the last clip are a reference to an old show called "Megas XLR," where the character is looking for the "save the world" button (which is broken)
I did! Blast from the past
It made me soooo happy
3:04 the way these buttons are labeled are in reference to an old Cartoon Network cartoon called Megas XLR! Specifically "Destroy the world, Smite the world, Destroy the world WORSE" is a gag from one episode about dashboard buttons in a giant robot
The last one was just fantastic.
Love the Megas XLR references on the last car.😂
Chicks dig giant robots
The turbinator🤯
Oooh! Where can I get one? It claims it will not only improve gas mileage by 50%, but my hair will grow back as well!
@@michaelwarren2391 Acme...
Beep beep!
For those who aren’t familiar, Turbonator is slang for Turbo Encabulator.
Love the Turbo Encabulator reference........
I can't believe at one time in my life I considered getting one for my car. Glad I never did.
@@bitemyshinnymetalass1569 Or fuel line magnets?
It was clearly a fake though, no marzelvanes means that side fumbling will quickly deteriorate the spurving bearings.
For the uninformed, the issue with that one was it should have been a retroencabulator on that engine
3:04 I recognize those! That's homage to one of the best cartoons to ever air on Cartoon Network; MEGAS XLR.
Thanks for the videos brother. Some of my favorites to watch
