Great video Scotty! I used to work at autozone and half the time my coworkers had no clue about spark plugs so they would just recommend the most expensive ones and then customers come back pissed off finding out their cars run worse than their used set of plugs😅😅
hello and congrats you won,. Email me your full name, address AND vehicle make, model and year, so I can send you a set of OEM spark plugs for your car: scotty.mechanic@gmail.com
@@scottykilmer You're awesome Scotty!
I have to be careful whenever I have the csm order plugs for a car I'm working on. One of the stores we use will send autolite plugs every time unless you specify what you want. I've had to cuss them out a couple times. I wont put non oe plugs in a car, too many comebacks. (Only exception is a 3v 4.6 Ford)
@@Basslicks82 lol thats the same crap they sold my nephew for his I6 cherokee lol
(Autozone) Sorry to hear that.
Any body here cause they’re at that time in their adult life that you start doin your own mechanical work?
And im a girl lol
Yes, and I’m having so much fun! Can’t believe I’ve never attempted this sooner. I just figure, no one is gonna take more care/attention to detail to work on my car than me.
There’s a sense of satisfaction when you do it yourself. However, you can get in a fix if you don’t have the right tools needed for the job. I saved over $300 on my plug & wires job. Just wish I’d put in Iridium plugs instead of the platinum.
Well, I started a little while ago, like when I was 16. I'm now 59, but I learned as a teenager I was better off doing my own work.
You’re so hot
My Dad was a Mechanic for 50 years. Keep it stock Son, you will have less problems and it will last longer.
Thanks Scotty..
I am not a mechanic, but I’ve learned so much watching the videos of Scotty. Keep up the good work. You’re an asset to those of us that don’t know and to help us from being ripped off. Thanks.

@@kopronkoso say you! Start your own channel since you know so much!
Hi Scotty, I really appreciate your hard work and devotion to provide the average DIY person the facts and knowledge to keep their vehicles repair cost down and running by their own hands. Thank you again for everything you do.
This man is just a mountain of knowledge, I have fixed so many vehicles by watching his videos and I am not a mechanic, maybe mechanically inclined but not a mechanic. Thanks Scotty, you're awesome.
If you factor how much he has saved his viewers by giving good proven , he's saving billions of dollars each year.
Scotty is a National Treasure !!!! I've been watching him for years.
Yep, doing my own brakes because of Scotty.
He gives zero step by step information on any assembly/disassembly. Which videos are you referring to? Why lie?
You're welcome.
If you grew up with out a father and ever needed mechanical help with your car. Daddy Scotty was always there for you lol
I have my dad and uncle helping me with my first car, but i still watch Scotty for the tips.

I agree. I use the O.E plugs and have not had any complaints or failures in 30 + years. My 99 Expedition used platinum and I replaced the coils injectors and put the Motorcraft irridium plugs in over 3 years ago. Still runs great. Thank you for your videos sir.
It's insane how hard it is to change the plugs in some modern cars! 🤬

@@Keyno77 Toyobarus 😊
It was really easy on my 08 Corolla.I changed the valve cover gasket while I was at it.I put iridium plugs in so I doubt I will ever have to change the plugs again
On my girlfriends ‘97 t&c, the firewall side of the of the 3.8l v6 is the worst plug changing ive experienced so far (i can do it, but its a literal real pain to do so). Every other vehicle i do spark plug maintenance (and/or maintenance in general) on (‘05 sebring 2.4l, ‘10 dakota 3.7l, ‘98 grand am 3.1l, ‘03 galant 2.4l, ‘01 cherokee 4.0l, and ‘07(?) spectra5 2.0l (?)) is a piece of cake. :)
I grew up in my father's work shop and what you explane in your car repair videos is exactly what my father used to say so I know you are spot on , I really miss him so your videos remind me of him, keep up the great work as it is appreciated by so many.
Scotty- What a wealth of information! I have a 2015 GMC Sierra with the 5.3. Had the check engine light come on twice. Engine started shaking, losing power. Fortunately I was close to my trusted mechanic. He brought out a stool and reconnected the plug wire. Second time it happened after a few months, I tried it myself and could not reconnect it. Took it to the mechanic and he something cracked on the plug. He fixed it. Both times he declined payment. Both times I gave him a 20. We were both good with the fix.
Same here. But sometimes my dad was wrong lol with his old timely ways🦋
On fire as always Scotty
Amazing work from you, your great research and all the great work for all the years you have been thank you for all you do!
Scotty over the years you have saved me money taught me more information especially on the newer cars. I am so glad you kept your TH-cam videos on. Very informative. Could never go wrong. I could use a set of plugs for my 2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3 never know about winning. But thank you again for this video. Yes I hate those back plugs. I have found a way to get to.mine with out taking that all off but takes time and patience.
I love how passionate and honest this guy is about car tech!!👍👍
No kidding
I 👍🏽 concur. He is awesome.
Why in the world would anyone give a thumbs down on videos like this? Scotty is not only spot on, he is a great and funny communicator.
I agree he's good
They take the bus or are angry "professional" mechanics that don't want their secrets out.
Because he's wrong !!! I've tested different spark plugs on my old 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 2.2 ecotech and different spark plugs do make a difference as well as different designs and that's not only time Scotty's been DEAD WRONG he did a video about letting your car warm up and was completely wrong about that especially in the winter !!!
Dennie Korpi : Believe It or Not There are deeper things to know and study and be able to do with the subject at hand . I am very serious. no joke ! ..
I was thinking the same thing, must be dudes at Napa and Autozone 😀
Sparkplugs are the unsung heros of the ignition system, always there, always doing their job, until they don't! Iridium plugs are worth their weight in gold for modern engines. Thanks again Scotty!
What about Ruthenium?
Have you ever tried autolite fine wire plugs? How are they,would you know anything about them? I don't want to use them I'd they're garbage.
@@charlesbosse9669 Bosch iridium
@joshsinglefooter The parts store was out of the Bosch. Maybe I'll take these back and find another store? Thank you much for your reply. Appreciate it. I just want to do this once,not put these things in and have to take them back out again. I can't afford to go get another vehicle. So I need to take care of this one. 2013 Dodge Dart. It was my son's car.

Scotty, this is awesome, thank you. Great explanations of what and why. Sensible and down-to-earth. I'm off to get my Iridiums now.
I am 15 years old and currently fixing up a 94 Toyota pickup and I love your videos.
Thanks Isak
Excellent choice.
Perhaps if you kept a photo log of your progress, you could make a video and submit it to Scotty. I believe he still publishes viewer videos from time to time.

@@carlovincetti1352 c
I do agree with you fam. Binge watching this guy for 3 days now.
I did buy a Honda Odyssey 2007 because of you saying they're great. I got it used and I did have to fix the issue with belt tensioner pulley bolt breaking. But now the car works fine. Well now it has an occasional wobble problem and it might be because of just the spark plugs not sparking correctly. I pulled out all the spark plugs and I do see that they are worn down. So now I'm going to go ahead and get some iridium spark plugs because you say that they're six times harder than platinum. I trust you. I believe you. Thank you 😃. But the key point I wanted to tell you was that I was able to get the rear spark plugs out of a 2007 Honda Odyssey without having to remove anything extra. I did not have to remove any intake manifolds or anything like that. It was an easy removal but I did have to do it blindfolded. Also I tried to use the grass and the socket method like you suggested to get the spark plugs to stick to my socket and it didn't work. But I found out if I use the rubber glove the fingers jammed in halfway it would work to make the spark plug, stick to the socket and come out
Thank you Scotty, I just replaced the battery in my 2019 Toyota 4runner, and right away noticed about two miles to the gallon better gas mileage. I saw your video about weak batteries, I had to jump mine after having the radio on for less than an hour. So I replaced it.

@Captain Buff The Third "Boy"? Lol way to make yourself older than you sound, grandpa. And you're talking in third person? Jesus, you're delusional. Ah, this'll be a good entertainment.
I wish there were more mechanics like you with honesty
Thank you for the input Scotty. It was very helpful and your high energy enthusiasm conveys a better understanding. Take care & happy holidays.
Scotty, I love listening to your raving rants. You and your editing make them fun and entertaining. You give excellent advice and I like when you actually do some mechanical work. I wish I had your knowledge and skills so I could do more or my own auto repairs. As it is I've changed my oil almost exclusively over the years and have changed trans and differential fluids. Done front brake pads and other repairs as well. Sure wish I had my own garage to work in but I live in a retirement community so my tools etc. are mostly in storage. Keep up the good work and telling us about the latest on reliable vehicles and the clunkers. Thanks
Hey Scotty, you obviously haven't tried the E3. I've been fixing cars for 42 years, my own shop for the last 18 years. I use to feel the same as you. Then a customer demanded the e3, so I installed them. I have worked on this car several times, fist being the intake gasket on this Buick 3.1. I installed the E3 and he said it was the best it's ran. I looked up the plug, and the tests shown impressed me. Installed them in my 4.3 S10 that I had the delco plugs in. Much different, big difference in power and mileage. I mean I couldn't squeal the tires before and I can now. I've installed them on several cars since, same results. And the emissions test results on an engine with new oem plugs and e3 plugs also changed. Yesterday I took a freeway run and before top speed was 93, now I can peg the 100mph speedo. Also, same price on all applications of them, my commercial discount is $6.09 each. And also I can't find cheaper price online.
Just saying, sometimes us old dogs can still learn a few things. One thing I haven't verified is longevity. I suggest you do some research - The tests done showing the combustion inside the cylinder is what impressed me. I usually concur with your videos, this is the first time I've stepped in.
Read the reviews on E3. Many complain about them failing or fouling within 5k miles.
@@azmick662 Haven't seen those, looked at many, but will look again. 2 of my customers are past that, Uber drivers. We'll see.
Scotty, love your videos. I have learned more in the last 5 years than what I thought I knew in the past 55 years. Keep up the great work. Iove your energy!
Love the videos, always full of great advice
Thanks for the info Scotty. My next set of spark plugs will be Iridium. I really appreciate your videos and the knowledge you possess. Thank you!
Nothing more beautiful, satisfying and IMPORTANT than Americans sharing good information, it just touches my heart.
Thanks Scotty, 😊!
I love this , I’ve learned so much useful information. It’s just what us non-mechanics need . Thank you so much!
I love all of your videos Scotty, i try to watch . i believe my knowledge over 68 years shade tree mechanics has improved so much. keep up the great work.
Just love your vids, informative, down to earth and great presentation. Keep it up Scotty
THANK YOU SCOTTY! I've been trying to tell folks this for years and can't seem to get through to them. Keep up the great work!
Scotty's experience shines through in videos like these. Such good information.
Hey Scotty, great video! My Toyota Tundra has the iridium spark plugs thankfully. This is one of the things that technology sure is a great improvement from years ago. Always enjoy Your videos!
Scotty, I have learned so much from your videos. I'm no mechanic, but I know what cars to avoid thanks to you.
I think this is the most honest and clear cut understanding informational channel with Mr. Kilmer, I have ever seen. I have learned so much. Any one can learn from him. You now can choose to deal with these mean and insulting people at the stores only if you want to be stressed out. I choose peace of mind and I learn at the same time. I THINK YOU'RE GREAT!!
Thank you.
Your the man. I hope your around as long as I'am. From one mechanic to another, THANK YOU
Using both platinum and iridium on my 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4l. Runs great! Thanks for the tip Scotty
My 2004 2.4 Camry has 295, 000 miles and runs like it's new.
You always provide sensible information and thank's for that.
Could I use these spark plugs also for my Champion 5500w double fuel invertor generator (of course using the right size)?
Good point, I always carefully examine the old part and the new part to make sure they appear identical before replacing anything
You're the man and I've never been miss led by you keep it up Scotty
Good content as always, Scotty. Keep it coming!
I'm so happy that you are doing this videos you teach a lot of people a lot of things my father was a mechanic for over 37 and a half years and I have learned more from you than I learned from him so I think you once again you're like my second Daddy 👍👍
Scotty , you’re the best, especially for a non-mechanic person such as myself. You give me a better understanding of what’s best and how things work. Thank you!
You are the best
Give them to me lol
GOOD INFO!!
I was very lucky to have a smart daddy who taught me alot of common sense stuff like this!
It's good to touch on this so others that didn't get this kind of info as a youngster knows this when changing spark plugs!
Thanks Scotty! I have a Ford Ranger, 145Kmiles on the original plugs. Gas mileage has been dropping from 25 ave to near 20. Though it was hot with AC on all the time for the summer months, maybe not that much of a drop. Just figured it might be time to change them out. I'll look first, then decide. I sure do appreciate the help.
Awesome video. Best auto advice on TH-cam. Thanks Scotty!
You are one of the most informative mechanics I have listen to since the two brothers from Boston.

Every project that Scotty experiments with comes across as a genuine honest attempt to get at the truth for the particular situation. Of all the people who are posting videos on car repairs, Scotty is in the search for a real viable solution in each of these particular situations. Gotta love him!
I've been watching Scotty for years, I've even tried a few of his tips that apply to my cars, he always gives good, honest advice and really useful tips.

NGK are THE BEST plugs!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. The historical perspective is very helpful for me. I'm an older person and I remember some of the spark plug talk from the 1960s...I was just a kid at the time, not even old enough to drive, but I'd read car and motorcycle magazines with a boy's interest.
Excellent advice; it is a fact that most of the time it is hard to change spark plugs because you need to remove other parts to reach them. It makes sense to opt for the iridium spark plugs to minimize maintenance time.
I got iridium plugs and they cracked, I think they were NGK from RockAuto, someone said beware

At least until 2013 chevy and gmc 5.3 are very easy. Not like my Ford edge 😒
Just to clarify, the metal type of the plug (copper, platinum, iridium, ruthenium) does not affect the overall temperature (heat range) of the spark plug. For example, a 6 heat range spark plug is a 6 heat range plug. The goal is still to maintain the same tip temperature no matter the metal. ~Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

Scotty you are a national treasure. Thanks again for the straightforward clean info.
I learn so much from Scotty! He’s a true-blue patriot providing a REAL Public Service to us all. Thank you, Scotty!
I truly enjoy watching your show I've been working on cars for quite some time because I couldn't afford a mechanic thank you for all the knowledge you've passed on
Same, I've been doing mechanic work all my life and sometimes he reminds me of something I forgot long ago.

You've helped me with a lot of things with your videos about cars thank you Scotty
Thanks for the excellent advice. Always enjoy your reviews!
Best youtube mechanic by far! Learn so much from him!
Great information Scotty!!!❤❤❤
Great video is always helpful. I have a Lincoln mark LT, and I use Motorcraft spark plugs and coils
Why I love this man, he makes 10/15 min video full of explanations and without pause in between!
hugh, there is a lot of editing in some of his video, including this one... pretty obvious there is paused and different section used.
Thank you for this information video. I have always believed in O.E.M. parts . I have work briefly as a contractor for Allison Transmission in Indianapolis and was impressed with the General Motors labs there in that facility. I got to witness the engineering process with GM and I understand the reasoning and importance of using the intended, test proven designs for original parts.
Scotty , I watch your videos every day and have learned so much and I thank you.
