Female here, drove semi 26 years solo. I am not a mechanic Lol. I maintained my company truck. On my personal pickup I have always changed my own oil, greased back in the day replaced starter, drive shaft, batteries, alternator, thermostat, simple stuff. I really appreciate Scotty. You guys probably have been in the mechanic shop when a woman walks in! Lots of shops not all, see stupid and $$$. At least Scotty gives this lady enough information that I don’t get scammed!! He’s funnier than heck really appreciate him!!💝
We can thank bureaucratic government agencies, the WEF, and a bunch of central bankers for driving everything at automotive manufacturers absolutely bonkers (massive increase in complexity, technology changing constantly, computers doing almost everything, fuel economy agenda so strict that stupid measures are taken to get it). Back in the 80's and 90's things changed so much more slowly and mechanics could keep on top of it.
I’m not a mechanic by any means. currently not experiencing any car issues and, I find myself coming to watch Scotty’s video’s just for fun and being genuinely entertained.
Thank you Scotty. I used that purple max cleaner on my 2008 highlander hybrid. I kept getting pinging when accelerating coming from a stop. I was upset at my mechanic because I did a tune up recently. Then, I remembered you talking about these products. So I headed to my auto store. Spent $20 and crossed my fingers. Let me tell you within the first two minutes my engine purring like a kitty. Wow. Amazing. Amazing. Thank you thank you.
Sometimes you change something and get a great result, but then the Engine Control Module re-adjusts, and a few days later, it's back to the way it was.

@@sandraclark2922 When I took my daughter to take her drivers test, after she did the driving part she asked the highway patrol officer how she did, and the officer replied, you passed when you checked your oil. Still makes me smile !!
The father we didn’t know we needed but are oh-so happy we found! Thank you Scott, may it be repaid tenfold for you for being honest and righteous in helping us all!
Scotty, Thank you for years of helping others negotiate the sometimes dishonest world of automotive repairs. You are not only knowledgable, but you have the common sense so many others lack. You have been a great mentor to us all!
@@mawuenahafeh7753 LOL I’ve been to many mechanics and so far only found 1 honest mechanic and unfortunately he’s now retired. Scotty has saved me a fortune as well keeping me from waiting weeks at a time for a repair.

@@bgood213 How many out there have ever read the owners manual that is the glove box ?? You are so right about common sense , they should offer a course for that in college .
I’ve been wrenching my entire life, I’m 69yo now… I’m glad I found your channel cause you crack me up! Wish we could have worked together, but keep up the great content👍
Hey Scotty, I saw my friend Jay do the same thing on an Oldsmobile years ago by using Transmission fluid. The Oil pump was clogged and so he removed the oil and put in Tranny oil for like 5 mins. Maybe a little longer. Drained the Tranny oil and put Motor oil and it fixed the problem. I was a young teenager at the time and I was amazed.
I wish I had Scotty in California, it's tough to find a guy who wants to work on cars. Most of the shops now don't want to do the work....His videos have help immensely....
This is my second time watching this episode. Still learning… As a teenager I should’ve gone to a tech academy. Now at age 56 I am learning so much! Being a female, I figured I’d marry a mechanic of sorts. Nope. My hubby is not mechanically inclined. So, it’s my son and I. He watches and learns online and I am the bank to use for parts. Because of you, we are in such better shape financially. Thank You for taking time out of your life to help middle class people learn how to survive in this expensive world. You are appreciated beyond adequate words for your advice and honesty. Sincerely, Lisa, Jimmy and my hubby who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons (like lack of mechanical skills and embarrassment for that reason and forgetting to check the oil often enough and other important fluids).
Hi Lisa, I did thoroughly enjoy your post with your humour and life experiences. Your relationship with your Son is heartwarming and reassuring that there are good, caring parents and children over there. For me Scotty is a Goldmine of information spoken with passion and lifelong experiences. I drive a 2001 Volvo S60 T5 with 275,000 km on the clock. We are lucky to know a Father & Son Auto garage here in Poland 🇵🇱 with a Breakdown Recovery service included in our auto insurance. Being in our mid 70's we have peace of mind when our super reliable car has a headache 😫 like the muffler falling off in the middle of nowhere 🙃 All the Best from Poland 🇵🇱 Morgan & Danuta
Lack of mechanical skills is not necessarily an embarrassment. Some people have other things on their mind that keeps their full attention. The myriad details of auto maintenance takes energy away from things that are more important to some people. It's like great writers who can't spell or have poor grammatical skills. They leave all simple, basic ,details to their secretary. Hemingway(as many writers do) left spelling and grammar for his secretary to deal with. Cleaning airflow sensors is equivalent to correcting misspelling or improper grammar.
Lisa, no offense but if you're looking for ways to survive then you are not in the middle class. It was a difficult realization for me, but the middle class is functionally dead in the US and it has been since the 2008 housing market collapse.
Thanks Scotty I lost my mom a few months ago and I took her 04 f150 heritage and using my past experience of working in the car repair industry to fix it up and keep it in good shape. She asked me on Christmas to fix the ball joints and a few other things and I told her I would after the trip I had planned with my wife and kids and by the time we got back she was in the hospital and never made it back home. I just spent all weekend fixing up the old truck. I'm watching your videos to see what my next repair is.
I have not rebuilt an engine since 1981. I am amazed to hear about the loose piston rings and not having to pound the piston in with a hammer and wood. I remember that so well!
You have helped me and so many others to not only fix cars but remove stress and gain confidence. I hope you really accept how amazing and invaluable that is. Thank you!
Since Aug 9 2007 Scotty you’ve given advise to millions of people and have literally saved all your viewers and subscribers millions at this point combined from what is the best part to what car you should buy and do it your self fixes instead of paying someone thousands for a 20min fix , honestly Who’ve ever has had some sort of car related issues has at some point in there lives clicked on one of your videos, you’ve answered so many of my questions that I’ve had bc of my 240sx nissian , Your literally one of the few content makers that literally made TH-cam to where it is right now . I just wanted to say thank you for making content constantly and sharing your knowledge with all of us and just know Scotty we love you so much and I say this with full respect and appreciation but thank you for showing me things that a father/ dad would of show me or there son or daughter you honestly not only have shared your knowledge but stepped up for the millions of people that never had a dad to show them how to change a tire to changing wipers and that is something that makes you so different than many of the creators on TH-cam. Thank you Scotty Kilmer Your The Best I pray you have many many many more years to come to make more content and to be there for not just sum of us that need it the most but for all of us. Don’t ever forget why you do what you do Scotty .
Scotty reminds me of my grandfather. he was a mechanic and even after he retired his hobby was buying old cars and restoring them and selling them at a really fair price.
Scotty is a GEM! MY dad was a mechanic and had similar LOVE and Curiosity regarding engines...these men are STILL underappreciated these men are CAR DOCTORS! People like Scotty are geniuses in part because they LOVE what they do and LOVE to SHARE their knowledge FREE OF CHARGE...if you listen...they will TEACH! LOL Thanks Scotty...
I am way more confident in taking my car to Scotty than a dealer with an inexperienced mechanic. Thank you for the quality content, your knowledge is priceless, literally.
Scotty you need a code to get credit for these products Also I thought my car was going to break down yesterday. I’ve known about the piston rings for a while (vw dealer had no idea) and I also have the fuel injection problem. I won’t be financially ruined now thank you. Really man it’s going to help me out a lot.
I use ATS Engine and ATS Fuel System Cleaners at every oil change. 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0L with 85,000 miles. Runs perfectly, no codes. I allow the engine to warm up BEFORE adding the oil treatment then run engine at 2000 RPM.
I'm back for more great Car Tips from Scotty! I purchased some ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks to seal a power steering leak on my 300Z as suggested by Scotty, and Shazam - it worked; I have no idea where the leak was, but it's no longer leaking PS fluid thanks to a video uploaded by Scotty. I'm forever grateful for this honest review of car products that actually work as advertised.😄
It's so refreshing to see someone that can actually think. I only which I lived near Scotty so he could fix the vehicle that I've owned and loved since new (2001). An incompetent mechanic has caused it to idle rough, and not one of seven mechanics that's I've taken it to can figure out how to fix it.
Watched every video, super informative and the humor is perfect to keep me watching! Scotty is better than any professor I have ever seen in my lifetime!
I started using Marvel Mystery Oil some time back on my 2005 Mazda 3 and I can say it drives as smoothly now as when I got it new. It’s only clocked roughly 130,000 miles and I hardly drive it now I’m retired, so it could last another 10 years.
I use Mystery Oil as well and I have had no problems with any of my cars or vans. I was told to use it by and old farmer that use to use it on his trackers. You know if a farmer is using it it's some good stuff.
Scotty, you're ALWAYS my life saver when it comes to trusted information that no other mechanic can give me. I was gifted a 2010 Scion xb. Previous owner was a female college student. Car had 205k miles on it. Discovered the following- no tune up, or regular maintenance was ever done on the car. Car shortly had a code for the torque converter. Took Scotty's advice for the Lucus trans fix while also doing a trans service on the car. Holy moly does the Lucus Trans fix work. Transmission loved having the very black fluid removed and the mucky magnet cleaned up too. Now time to clean up the injectors and the engine. This car is losing a quart of oil every week. Fingers crossed 🤞 these additives work to save me from losing oil and gas mileage.
its a daihatsu-for-toyota/scion product- they use magnets in all their transmissions. i would recommended a can of restore before you resort to re-ringing the engine. some lucas UCL will clean the injectors- no tools needed. as long as that car wasn't abused- it will recover nicely. daihatsu makes some of the best motors in the world- thats why toyota bought them....
You always make me laugh at some point on these videos. My dad is long gone and worked on the old muscle cars he had a Sinclair station in Philly. When they came out with the electronic engines, he switched over to towing. LOL....God bless you for helping so many.
Regarding the Lucas XMSN Stop Slip: I have an 04 Camry that after I bought it around 280K miles the transmission started making a slight clunk between gears; more often in the summer when fluid was obviously most hot/viscous during the year. Pretty sure the previous owner hadn't changed the fluid much. I drained almost half of the old fluid out and put Lucas Stop Slip in and it's still running at 305K with zero clunking! Will post back here to let you know when it does start to have problems! Pretty impressed with this stuff.
I love watching his videos for two reasons. 1. The amount of facts that he actually knows is amazing. 2. Every time I see his videos he looks like he's conducting a symphony.
He's the kind of "good 'ol boy," that we "people watchers" just love to sit back and watch while sipping on a coffee ☕️ and wondering 🤔 💭 what his internal dialog must sound like...
hi Scotty. Over the years, I enjoyed watching your videos. Your experience and honest advice let me learn a lot. Thank you and wish you continue to share your experience with all of us.
Just got a 1996 TOYOTA RAV4 with 240k miles because of your advice about Toyotas Scotty, and it’s amazing, it had a piece of exhaust shield that was rattling and that was part of the reason the guy sold it to me for a good deal, anyhow, now it’s so amazingly nice & I’m so grateful for your advice Scotty!!!! Thank you zillions 👍
I've always been untrusting of a mechanic in a can but I'm a old dog who has learned a new trick. The MPH on my 2016 Mazda CX5 started dropping off a tad. Not enough for any codes . Changed air filter and at 115,000 KM it was time to change the plugs as well. Did both without much improvement. Saw this video and tried the Royal Purple. I used a bore scope to check pistons 1 and 4 . Some carbon build up but not excessive. I then added the Royal to a tank of new gas. After 150 KM I checked both pistons and they appear shinny and new. So it does appear to be cleaning something up. My gas mileage has returned to what was expected. I suspect my injectors needed a cleaning. I know it's not a fixall for everything but in this case it addressed my issue. Thanks Scottie..😊

Hey Scotty im a new fan from Louisiana. your videos been helping me fix my own vehicle. Almost got me thinking im a mechanic. Luv your enthusiasm Scotty your fun to watch.
Scotty I still just love you and your vids!! Your the best and so glad I found you 10 years ago!! I’m a woman and I’ve saved thousands on my car doing what you say to do. I’ve got 151k on my Honda crv because of you teaching me what to do!! Would love to meet you and thank you! Your the best!! ❤
I love your videos Scotty. My father inlaw retired being a mechanic at his own business. U are my new mechanic. I like to learn from u. Thank u for your videos.
I've only used AMSOIL synthetics for years, my last GMC Sierra had 495,679 miles on it, purred like a kitten. Use it on my motorcycle also, yes it's expensive but well worth if you ask me.
@@dawhike It’s great oil but it’s not “just as good”. Amsoil out performs it, albeit by a minimal margin, in all head to head tests. I wouldn’t hesitate to use that Pennzoil if it was significantly cheaper but where I live it isn’t.
ATS oil cleaner you CAN drive it for about 15 minutes and then change your oil. You don’t have to let it idle fast. I have the same product and I called ATS myself.
My friend had 1983 Toyota pickup he named, "Mr Fixit." It had 350,000 miles on it, primer paint job and the original engine, he did replace the clutch 7 times. It didn't carry a huge load, but never broke down.
I have used these additives, too. They work. Not miracles, but they do what they claim. The thing is, these are decent small fixes for 100k mile cars/trucks. Fewer and fewer people have that sort of vehicle, anymore. Fuel system cleaner always made sense to me, once a year. Motorcycles and cars, even from new.
I've actually had noticeable, positive results using the Royal Purple fuel additive. I've tried a few different types in the past, and it is my go-to now. I'll use it in my atv now as well because it's also a stabilizer.
Best fuel system clean is Techron Fuel system cleaner and BG44K nothing else also Redline is good as well and Lubegard is best for flushes and protection
Your videos are too good lol - I start watching them and can't stop - hi from the UK :) I should of been away to bed an hour ago but keep watching your vids,,,,BRILLIANT
Scotty you need to do a review on Luqui moly mos2 Anti friction Product number 2009. I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee 318 ci 203,000km (around 160 000ish miles) I cant believe the differance! It runs cooler and keeping around 90 kph (50 ish mph) is get 600kms (480ish miles) a tank***miles may be off I from Canada*** but I guarantee you'll like it! your the man Scotty I really enjoy your vids!

I use a quart of transmission fluid when I change my oil. This keeps my engine quite and super clean. Just what I have been doing for years. So far so good.
Hey coconut operator I'll come to Australia from the USA if you'll promise me that when I get there you'll throw some Prawns and a nice big thick stake on the grill and then the next day you can show me around some of your country. I've always wanted to come to Australia and see the country. I also wanted to ask did ya'll ever get that rat problem taken care of and if so how did ya'll do it because what I seen they were really really bad I mean they were rats running everywhere, thanks for your time.
That Lucas stop slip IS AMAZING. I used it on a Nissan quest van that was slipping and taking 5 seconds to engage in drive or reverse. It started working in an hour. I had bought the 250k mile van for $50 us. And drive it for 100k more and gave it to a friend who put another 20k of hard miles. If I still kept it I bet I could of broke 400k. I've been using LUCAS PRODUCT FOR 30 PLUS YEARS
I personally like Techron and occasionally Atf in the fuel tank . I threw some in my Corvette to get it running right after the computer took a crap on the way across the country . I drove it in limp mode longer than I should have and finally gave up in New Mexico . I left it with some local mechanics there and told them whatever it takes and I will be back when it is done . I got about 3 miles from their shop when it started acting up and they suggested the Atf in the fuel tank . Within 50 miles it started running like new . I was amazed at the improvement in the top end .
@@andrewmendez260 - I guess it is an old mechanics trick for cleaning the valve train after a customer runs the car in limp mode - or not all the cylinders firing situations . It works great and won't hurt anything
@@creed5248I'm telling you right now even though it didn't damage your engine I'm a mechanic went to school for it you don't put automatic transmission fluid and in your gas. You can do it yes but it doesn't mean you should . You'd have way more effective and safer results from just buying a fuel injector cleaner for 5 $. do as you wish with your automobiles though trial and error will teach . I know exactly why it wouldn't be good to put it in for multiple reasons but I'd be writings an essay.
Anybody with the right tools, who can follow instructions can change out just about anything. But just as it is with things like computers, that is only one aspect of actually fixing a problem.
Hey Scottie! Go up to New England and look at a '96 Ford or anything else. Our special salt penetration policy will turn your vehicle into a mass of rust in no time. You southern car owners have it really good!
He would be the absolute best neighbor ever! I hope his neighborhood knows how lucky they are to have Scotty (always outside in his driveway😅) giving out a lifetime of experience and trade secrets for free! After watching him go, does anyone else feel like there's nothing that couldn't be fixed on a Sunday in garage?😂😂
Love it Scotty! I had a 1995 F150 with the 351 5.8L, seriously GREAT truck! Beat it up hard but matinenced it regurally. Bough it back 10 years Mayer and it still runs great. UNKILLABLE
Just bought a 07 f150 cared for, runs smooth, but rust underneath. I won't need it forever; but whatever I can do to keep her purring for the meantime is worth trying :) any and all advice appreciated (female who can amazingly diagnose many problems, due to dating a mechanic for over 20 years)...but other than very simple things I'm not a truck DIY'er...🙄
@@TwoPartyIllusion get some spray-galvanize and shoot the hell out of the rusty sheet metal. be warned- it ain't cheap- you can get it at wally world and you can spray paint over it if you don't like the gray color. great stuff. use it on saltwater boat trailer all the time....
Lucas trans fix is the truth. Ive had slipping trans come in and i do the flush and use 1qt with new fluid and they are good to go. Even a year later ive had customers come back giving praise about how smooth everything is. Lucas products are great.
These troubleshooting videos are your best stuff. Keep up the good work even though you get dirty with these! I have a 2007 Corolla in my car arsenal so this one was particularly useful.
I live in Maine. I remember the old GM 305"s (80's 90's) one built in the US with 70,000 miles was a boat anchor (soft cams). The Canadian built ones were pretty much bullet proof.
I had an uncle who was a diesel mechanic in the Navy. He said they poured kerosene into the crankcase oil, how much I don't remember, ran it for several minutes, then changed the oil. The idea was to clean the engine of deposits. Btw, this was back in WW ll. Navy requirements by the book.
*_I just learned that if you're going to store a car for the winter it's best to use additives first and putting in gasoline after, so there is less pace in your tank to get filled up water or something like that. I'm not sure if that applies for the summer too but I'm going to start doing that now lol_* I was also going to do some research on the best additives, but then I found this video 😂
I have a 2001 Camry LE 5SFE 4 cylinder. It only has 120,000 original miles. Runs great. No major issues. I think possibly I'll clean up the injection system with The Purple brand.
Hi Scotty, I have been watching your videos for years but only recently subscribed. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but I find find your videos to be fascinating and incredibly informative. I now have a practical reason for following your program. I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson that completely loses power in 30 C plus weather and under high acceleration. it also emits a rotten egg smell under those conditions. Despite repeated attempts at diagnoses, no mechanic has been able to pinpoint the problem.
Hey Scotty, I have a 2007 Pontiac Vibe with 200,000 miles that was running rough. I cleaned the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body, and it's running smoothly with 0 hesitation of acceleration. Folks can also try this in addition to the good fuel injection cleaner.😊
Thanks for the great vid. I can testify to the magic of Lucas Stop Slip A/T Additive. Worked wonders on my old 1993 3.4L Quad Cam motor with a trash Chevy transmission that was slipping at 60-70 MPH. Highly recommend Stop Slip! As always, super useful info. And love your sense of humor anyway! Keep it up!

Being in our mid 70's we have peace of mind when our super reliable car has a headache 😫 like the muffler falling off in the middle of nowhere 🙃 All the Best from Poland 🇵🇱 Morgan & Danuta
The things i would do for a woman with correct mechanical knowledge....
Nice post 😎
Lack of mechanical skills is not necessarily an embarrassment. Some people have other things on their mind that keeps their full attention. The myriad details of auto maintenance takes energy away from things that are more important to some people. It's like great writers who can't spell or have poor grammatical skills. They leave all simple, basic ,details to their secretary. Hemingway(as many writers do) left spelling and grammar for his secretary to deal with. Cleaning airflow sensors is equivalent to correcting misspelling or improper grammar.
Lisa, no offense but if you're looking for ways to survive then you are not in the middle class. It was a difficult realization for me, but the middle class is functionally dead in the US and it has been since the 2008 housing market collapse.
The knuckle knock to check for stability is the best. Scotty is great. He actually worked on my car twice when he lived here in Houston.
That is why he knows the old HiLo auto parts name ..
How did you find him? I guess he's in Tennessee now, as am I and I have to buy a car. I need him 😂
@@bobbiellison4315 he was on local TV for years. Turn when I saw him again on TH-cam I emailed him. There is an email somewhere online to contact him.
Thanks Scotty I lost my mom a few months ago and I took her 04 f150 heritage and using my past experience of working in the car repair industry to fix it up and keep it in good shape. She asked me on Christmas to fix the ball joints and a few other things and I told her I would after the trip I had planned with my wife and kids and by the time we got back she was in the hospital and never made it back home. I just spent all weekend fixing up the old truck. I'm watching your videos to see what my next repair is.
@samuelguardino4940 God bless mothers am I right Sammy bull. I've got an 08 great truck!
Sorry for your loss. Beautiful story though honestly. I’m sure that truck is an important relic to you by now
I have not rebuilt an engine since 1981. I am amazed to hear about the loose piston rings and not having to pound the piston in with a hammer and wood. I remember that so well!
THANK GOD FOR SCOTTY KILMER AND COMMON SENSE!!!
Definitely
You have helped me and so many others to not only fix cars but remove stress and gain confidence. I hope you really accept how amazing and invaluable that is. Thank you!
Since Aug 9 2007 Scotty you’ve given advise to millions of people and have literally saved all your viewers and subscribers millions at this point combined from what is the best part to what car you should buy and do it your self fixes instead of paying someone thousands for a 20min fix , honestly Who’ve ever has had some sort of car related issues has at some point in there lives clicked on one of your videos, you’ve answered so many of my questions that I’ve had bc of my 240sx nissian , Your literally one of the few content makers that literally made TH-cam to where it is right now . I just wanted to say thank you for making content constantly and sharing your knowledge with all of us and just know Scotty we love you so much and I say this with full respect and appreciation but thank you for showing me things that a father/ dad would of show me or there son or daughter you honestly not only have shared your knowledge but stepped up for the millions of people that never had a dad to show them how to change a tire to changing wipers and that is something that makes you so different than many of the creators on TH-cam. Thank you Scotty Kilmer Your The Best I pray you have many many many more years to come to make more content and to be there for not just sum of us that need it the most but for all of us. Don’t ever forget why you do what you do Scotty .
Protect this man at all cost!
Scotty reminds me of my grandfather. he was a mechanic and even after he retired his hobby was buying old cars and restoring them and selling them at a really fair price.
Well said
I've been a mechanic for 40 years - I agree with (almost) everything Scotty says, he's almost always right on the money.
Door chime stay on 2006 lmpdla with door closed go off
Scotty is a GEM! MY dad was a mechanic and had similar LOVE and Curiosity regarding engines...these men are STILL underappreciated these men are CAR DOCTORS! People like Scotty are geniuses in part because they LOVE what they do and LOVE to SHARE their knowledge FREE OF CHARGE...if you listen...they will TEACH! LOL
Thanks Scotty...
I am way more confident in taking my car to Scotty than a dealer with an inexperienced mechanic. Thank you for the quality content, your knowledge is priceless, literally.
Scotty you need a code to get credit for these products
Also I thought my car was going to break down yesterday. I’ve known about the piston rings for a while (vw dealer had no idea) and I also have the fuel injection problem. I won’t be financially ruined now thank you. Really man it’s going to help me out a lot.
Scotty has all the tools you need and knowledge that we need nothing more or less. We love you Scotty
He also has the energy and motivation. What does this guy eat?
no we dont ! dont speak for me
Masterclass in troubleshooting! I love watching experts in their fields!
I agree. But if he'd only stand still! I get dizzy watching him :(
Half of what he says, his arms communicate. hahaha
He's got decades of experience too.
expert is a understatement, this guys a Master mechanic.
Scotty, you are the man, giving nothing but the best advice on all sorts of problems we encounter with vehicles.
I use ATS Engine and ATS Fuel System Cleaners at every oil change. 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0L with 85,000 miles. Runs perfectly, no codes.
I allow the engine to warm up BEFORE adding the oil treatment then run engine at 2000 RPM.
I'm back for more great Car Tips from Scotty! I purchased some ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks to seal a power steering leak on my 300Z as suggested by Scotty, and Shazam - it worked; I have no idea where the leak was, but it's no longer leaking PS fluid thanks to a video uploaded by Scotty. I'm forever grateful for this honest review of car products that actually work as advertised.😄
I use that stuff on A-Frame bushings, trailing Arm bushings etc. well worth the money brother.
Some say that Scotty is a national treasure....but I`m in Blighty, so I say he`s a world treasure!
It's so refreshing to see someone that can actually think. I only which I lived near Scotty so he could fix the vehicle that I've owned and loved since new (2001). An incompetent mechanic has caused it to idle rough, and not one of seven mechanics that's I've taken it to can figure out how to fix it.
I love your original "She's a Lady", with "Delilah" being a poor second!

Those are Tom Jones songs ... joking with the guy's name. That's all
on the other hand he might have done it intentionally- if so, he was genius!
Watched every video, super informative and the humor is perfect to keep me watching! Scotty is better than any professor I have ever seen in my lifetime!
Its all about the Descriptions and Hand Movements. If there wasnt any Hand Movements, I'd be Lost....
I have a bridge thats runs from New york to Brooklyn I'll sell cheap.

@@jonblachley1911 I sold that last week to your next of kin
Scotty, you don’t hold your hands still long enough for me to see what the product is!
😂😂 he has to swing em that’s his signature
I started using Marvel Mystery Oil some time back on my 2005 Mazda 3 and I can say it drives as smoothly now as when I got it new. It’s only clocked roughly 130,000 miles and I hardly drive it now I’m retired, so it could last another 10 years.
I use Mystery Oil as well and I have had no problems with any of my cars or vans. I was told to use it by and old farmer that use to use it on his trackers. You know if a farmer is using it it's some good stuff.
Mystery Oil it is
Using SeaFoam here, same kinda thing. Old Ford work truck, running forever.
Marvel and Seafoam are great! As a teen i used to flip beaters. Dumping marvel in the intake would quiet the bitchyest shitbox to purring kitten!
My Grandfather swore by Marvel Mystery Oil and he's been dead for 50 years
The VW still sounded ready for a rebuild but the improvement was still tremendous.
This guy is a national treasure.
Agreed
Indeed
Yes he is
He sure is a corpse from the grave
Scotty, you're ALWAYS my life saver when it comes to trusted information that no other mechanic can give me. I was gifted a 2010 Scion xb. Previous owner was a female college student. Car had 205k miles on it. Discovered the following- no tune up, or regular maintenance was ever done on the car. Car shortly had a code for the torque converter. Took Scotty's advice for the Lucus trans fix while also doing a trans service on the car. Holy moly does the Lucus Trans fix work. Transmission loved having the very black fluid removed and the mucky magnet cleaned up too. Now time to clean up the injectors and the engine. This car is losing a quart of oil every week. Fingers crossed 🤞 these additives work to save me from losing oil and gas mileage.
I’ve seen Lucas products work miracles.
Wow what a testament to Toyota to have a car make it to 200k without any maintenance except for assuming oil changes!
its a daihatsu-for-toyota/scion product- they use magnets in all their transmissions. i would recommended a can of restore before you resort to re-ringing the engine. some lucas UCL will clean the injectors- no tools needed. as long as that car wasn't abused- it will recover nicely. daihatsu makes some of the best motors in the world- thats why toyota bought them....
You always make me laugh at some point on these videos. My dad is long gone and worked on the old muscle cars he had a Sinclair station in Philly. When they came out with the electronic engines, he switched over to towing. LOL....God bless you for helping so many.
Regarding the Lucas XMSN Stop Slip: I have an 04 Camry that after I bought it around 280K miles the transmission started making a slight clunk between gears; more often in the summer when fluid was obviously most hot/viscous during the year. Pretty sure the previous owner hadn't changed the fluid much. I drained almost half of the old fluid out and put Lucas Stop Slip in and it's still running at 305K with zero clunking! Will post back here to let you know when it does start to have problems! Pretty impressed with this stuff.
I like the direct input while driving! Nobody does it the same. Very informative & the comedy! Who does this anymore? Thank you Scotty!
Teachers in school should teach like Scotty it's both informative and fun 👍 thank you good sir
17:00 I could listen to Scotty compliment the build quality of the past for hours 💯
Scotty is the definition of a renaissance man. A well of information. He reminds me of other Scotts I’ve known. Hats off to him.
I love watching his videos for two reasons.
1. The amount of facts that he actually knows is amazing.
2. Every time I see his videos he looks like he's conducting a symphony.
If he’s ever in some sort of horrific arm accident, he’ll never be able to say another word.
@@BeckRedwtf ,maybe u have a horrible arm accident?? Wtf
Scotty is so crazy - we need more techs like him, for sure.
We all love Scotty!
Don't say that. They lock crazy people up
He's the kind of guy I'd like to just hang out with and have a few beers! Bet he could tell some crazy stories!
He's the kind of "good 'ol boy," that we "people watchers" just love to sit back and watch while sipping on a coffee ☕️ and wondering 🤔 💭 what his internal dialog must sound like...
I don't mean to be a nitpicker but, Scotty calls himself a mechanic not a tech
hi Scotty. Over the years, I enjoyed watching your videos. Your experience and honest advice let me learn a lot. Thank you and wish you continue to share your experience with all of us.
Just got a 1996 TOYOTA RAV4 with 240k miles because of your advice about Toyotas Scotty, and it’s amazing, it had a piece of exhaust shield that was rattling and that was part of the reason the guy sold it to me for a good deal, anyhow, now it’s so amazingly nice & I’m so grateful for your advice Scotty!!!! Thank you zillions 👍
it would go that far without Scotty. Its an old Toyota. They last forever if well taken care of. I have had 6 of them.
hose clamps are usually an easy fix for heat shield rattles
I've always been untrusting of a mechanic in a can but I'm a old dog who has learned a new trick. The MPH on my 2016 Mazda CX5 started dropping off a tad. Not enough for any codes . Changed air filter and at 115,000 KM it was time to change the plugs as well. Did both without much improvement. Saw this video and tried the Royal Purple. I used a bore scope to check pistons 1 and 4 . Some carbon build up but not excessive. I then added the Royal to a tank of new gas. After 150 KM I checked both pistons and they appear shinny and new. So it does appear to be cleaning something up. My gas mileage has returned to what was expected. I suspect my injectors needed a cleaning. I know it's not a fixall for everything but in this case it addressed my issue. Thanks Scottie..😊

I Love This Guy! He breaks the information down so I can understand it! I wish I had found him years ago! You’re the man Scotty!
Scotty I still just love you and your vids!! Your the best and so glad I found you 10 years ago!! I’m a woman and I’ve saved thousands on my car doing what you say to do. I’ve got 151k on my Honda crv because of you teaching me what to do!! Would love to meet you and thank you! Your the best!! ❤
I love your videos Scotty. My father inlaw retired being a mechanic at his own business. U are my new mechanic. I like to learn from u. Thank u for your videos.
I've only used AMSOIL synthetics for years, my last GMC Sierra had 495,679 miles on it, purred like a kitten. Use it on my motorcycle also, yes it's expensive but well worth if you ask me.
Yeah I think I heard a mechanic say you could go with out changing the amsoil for 25000 if your using amsoil filter
It’s all I use…. In everything. Hasn’t done me wrong at all!
They still don't have a high-end 0W-16 oil, unfortunately.
Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic from Natural Gas, works just as good and cheaper.
@@dawhike It’s great oil but it’s not “just as good”. Amsoil out performs it, albeit by a minimal margin, in all head to head tests. I wouldn’t hesitate to use that Pennzoil if it was significantly cheaper but where I live it isn’t.
ATS oil cleaner you CAN drive it for about 15 minutes and then change your oil. You don’t have to let it idle fast. I have the same product and I called ATS myself.
How much does it cost?
@@Johnny53kgb-nsa it’s a bundle for 60+. Oil and fuel cleaner. Can’t buy one separate.
ATS?
Love Scotty and even more when he says he's about to remove the "beauty cover".
My friend had 1983 Toyota pickup he named, "Mr Fixit." It had 350,000 miles on it, primer paint job and the original engine, he did replace the clutch 7 times. It didn't carry a huge load, but never broke down.
I have used these additives, too. They work. Not miracles, but they do what they claim. The thing is, these are decent small fixes for 100k mile cars/trucks. Fewer and fewer people have that sort of vehicle, anymore. Fuel system cleaner always made sense to me, once a year. Motorcycles and cars, even from new.
I'm all for this in older cars but the full synthetic oils of today are very well formulated to last a long time while offering great protection.
This guy is great. The way he describes what he's doing its borderline standup comedy.
He could have a Netflix series....
He *must* have a Netflix series.
yea he can't be bought
I've actually had noticeable, positive results using the Royal Purple fuel additive. I've tried a few different types in the past, and it is my go-to now. I'll use it in my atv now as well because it's also a stabilizer.
Best fuel system clean is Techron Fuel system cleaner and BG44K nothing else also Redline is good as well and Lubegard is best for flushes and protection
I use techron fuel system cleaner the high milage stuff it's the best my opinion@@fortnite360HZ
Your videos are too good lol - I start watching them and can't stop - hi from the UK :) I should of been away to bed an hour ago but keep watching your vids,,,,BRILLIANT
Scotty Kilmer is One of Gods helpers💯
You are an excellent help, Scotty. In this video, it seemed the engine was much smoother and quieter sounding before the treatment.
Scotty you need to do a review on Luqui moly mos2 Anti friction Product number 2009. I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee 318 ci 203,000km (around 160 000ish miles) I cant believe the differance! It runs cooler and keeping around 90 kph (50 ish mph) is get 600kms (480ish miles) a tank***miles may be off I from Canada*** but I guarantee you'll like it! your the man Scotty I really enjoy your vids!
This guy is very intelligent and ingenious!
He also has one hell of a sense of humor too.
Watching him from amazing Oswego NY ❤️
I am not trying to do any DIY repair, but I am addicted to Scotty's voice and accent, the best lullaby on the net.

Hey Scotty. Is STP oil good oil, or should I stay away from it?
Your link to the ats cleaner was not working, fyi dude!
Hey Scotty, the ATS engine cleaner link is dead.
If I remember correctly, you liked the ATS Chemicals Fuel treatment... Do you recommend Royal Purple over ATS?
I use a quart of transmission fluid when I change my oil. This keeps my engine quite and super clean. Just what I have been doing for years. So far so good.
Great stuff Scotty!! Common sense mixed with experience and honesty. We watch all your vids here in Darwin Australia.
Throw another shrimp on the barbie
@@sirjohndoeofpa3292 They're called prawns here mate
Hey coconut operator I'll come to Australia from the USA if you'll promise me that when I get there you'll throw some Prawns and a nice big thick stake on the grill and then the next day you can show me around some of your country. I've always wanted to come to Australia and see the country. I also wanted to ask did ya'll ever get that rat problem taken care of and if so how did ya'll do it because what I seen they were really really bad I mean they were rats running everywhere, thanks for your time.
Wow, this is a serious experience and knowledge for troubleshooting. Hats off to Scotty.
89 lincoln town car, years ago at 160,000 miles it would not go into drive,Lucas was the magic spell never had a problem after that!
That Lucas stop slip IS AMAZING. I used it on a Nissan quest van that was slipping and taking 5 seconds to engage in drive or reverse. It started working in an hour. I had bought the 250k mile van for $50 us. And drive it for 100k more and gave it to a friend who put another 20k of hard miles. If I still kept it I bet I could of broke 400k. I've been using LUCAS PRODUCT FOR 30 PLUS YEARS
I've had amazing results from the Lucas Trans fix thru the years
Me too!👍🏽
I personally like Techron and occasionally Atf in the fuel tank . I threw some in my Corvette to get it running right after the computer took a crap on the way across the country . I drove it in limp mode longer than I should have and finally gave up in New Mexico . I left it with some local mechanics there and told them whatever it takes and I will be back when it is done . I got about 3 miles from their shop when it started acting up and they suggested the Atf in the fuel tank . Within 50 miles it started running like new . I was amazed at the improvement in the top end .
automatic transmission fluid?
@@jonathanescobar7766 Yep - first time I ever heard of it either . i thought it would screw something up but it didn't .
@@creed5248 your lucky it didn't ruin anything.
@@andrewmendez260 - I guess it is an old mechanics trick for cleaning the valve train after a customer runs the car in limp mode - or not all the cylinders firing situations . It works great and won't hurt anything
@@creed5248I'm telling you right now even though it didn't damage your engine I'm a mechanic went to school for it you don't put automatic transmission fluid and in your gas. You can do it yes but it doesn't mean you should . You'd have way more effective and safer results from just buying a fuel injector cleaner for 5 $. do as you wish with your automobiles though trial and error will teach . I know exactly why it wouldn't be good to put it in for multiple reasons but I'd be writings an essay.
Problem solving should always be number one in a mechanics toolbox just like Scotty.
Anybody with the right tools, who can follow instructions can change out just about anything. But just as it is with things like computers, that is only one aspect of actually fixing a problem.
I only found your videos today and I have watched half a dozen. They're brilliant. Thanks Scotty.
After 2 jobs today i am sitting at my bed watching Scott and having fun. Lady 55 years old. Trying to learn us much i can. ❤️ Scott

And nothing wrong with Berryman Chem Tool for the piston cleaner.

Hey Scottie! Go up to New England and look at a '96 Ford or anything else. Our special salt penetration policy will turn your vehicle into a mass of rust in no time. You southern car owners have it really good!

He would be the absolute best neighbor ever! I hope his neighborhood knows how lucky they are to have Scotty (always outside in his driveway😅) giving out a lifetime of experience and trade secrets for free!
After watching him go, does anyone else feel like there's nothing that couldn't be fixed on a Sunday in garage?😂😂
Scotty is a big fan of the Italian tune up
Scotty your a genius. Same issue I’ve had with my moms 06’ Corolla, did the fuel additive also check the fuel trim bingo
Love it Scotty! I had a 1995 F150 with the 351 5.8L, seriously GREAT truck! Beat it up hard but matinenced it regurally. Bough it back 10 years Mayer and it still runs great. UNKILLABLE
Cool! I heard those are good engines
Just bought a 07 f150 cared for, runs smooth, but rust underneath. I won't need it forever; but whatever I can do to keep her purring for the meantime is worth trying :) any and all advice appreciated (female who can amazingly diagnose many problems, due to dating a mechanic for over 20 years)...but other than very simple things I'm not a truck DIY'er...🙄
@@TwoPartyIllusion get some spray-galvanize and shoot the hell out of the rusty sheet metal. be warned- it ain't cheap- you can get it at wally world and you can spray paint over it if you don't like the gray color. great stuff. use it on saltwater boat trailer all the time....
Lucas trans fix is the truth. Ive had slipping trans come in and i do the flush and use 1qt with new fluid and they are good to go. Even a year later ive had customers come back giving praise about how smooth everything is. Lucas products are great.
These troubleshooting videos are your best stuff. Keep up the good work even though you get dirty with these! I have a 2007 Corolla in my car arsenal so this one was particularly useful.
I live in Maine. I remember the old GM 305"s (80's 90's) one built in the US with 70,000 miles was a boat anchor (soft cams). The Canadian built ones were pretty much bullet proof.
Wow, never knew that about the cams in the 305's
Are you talking about cracked cam shaft but keeps runnung.? !
I had an uncle who was a diesel mechanic in the Navy. He said they poured kerosene into the crankcase oil, how much I don't remember, ran it for several minutes, then changed the oil. The idea was to clean the engine of deposits. Btw, this was back in WW ll. Navy requirements by the book.
be very careful when you do that- it will loosen stuff that can damage your motor. some guys use marvel mystery oil for that.
Yes. it is the same with medical doctor. we wish to have a diagnostic for our body too.
*_I just learned that if you're going to store a car for the winter it's best to use additives first and putting in gasoline after, so there is less pace in your tank to get filled up water or something like that. I'm not sure if that applies for the summer too but I'm going to start doing that now lol_* I was also going to do some research on the best additives, but then I found this video 😂
I have a 2001 Camry LE 5SFE 4 cylinder.
It only has 120,000 original miles. Runs great. No major issues. I think possibly I'll clean up the injection system with The Purple brand.
Hi Scotty, I have been watching your videos for years but only recently subscribed. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but I find find your videos to be fascinating and incredibly informative. I now have a practical reason for following your program. I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson that completely loses power in 30 C plus weather and under high acceleration. it also emits a rotten egg smell under those conditions. Despite repeated attempts at diagnoses, no mechanic has been able to pinpoint the problem.
Not sure if it’s still up, but you used to be able to submit questions on his website.
Check the O2 sensors. Had the same problem with my santa fe
Even if I never need this info, I watch... because Scotty.
Hey Scotty, I have a 2007 Pontiac Vibe with 200,000 miles that was running rough. I cleaned the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body, and it's running smoothly with 0 hesitation of acceleration. Folks can also try this in addition to the good fuel injection cleaner.😊
EGR systems tend to dirty up intakes more than anything else, either MAS or intake valves that don't get washed with gas (direct injection).
I have a Vibe with 235k, a real war horse.
Do you wanna tell us how you cleaned it that might be good information thanks
@@dewdew34 Nice, same here - I have an 06 5spd since new. Going on 350K kms and still going strong with only a few small issues along the way.
I've had 3 Vibes. F-ing roommate just totaled my last one. grrrrr.
Thanks for the great vid. I can testify to the magic of Lucas Stop Slip A/T Additive. Worked wonders on my old 1993 3.4L Quad Cam motor with a trash Chevy transmission that was slipping at 60-70 MPH. Highly recommend Stop Slip! As always, super useful info. And love your sense of humor anyway! Keep it up!
I remember back in the '60's when adding STP oil tratment was the thing. Thanks Scotty for the video.
