Scotty Kilmer could you make a show about your grandpa? You’ve mentioned him a lot and I wonder. Any old pics?
Same to You Scotty. Don't go scaring your cat with fireworks! :)
Many uploads on TH-cam claim it's a must-watch. This video does not make that claim, but it most definitely is. This is a must-watch for any car owner. Thank you !
Me thinks you overlooked the source common sense.
Scotty i have AC problem it works fine for some time but get hotter and when i on/off button it starts working.
Lol "that's dirty" that was prob the cleanest throttle body I've ever seen
I said the same thing 🤣
Lol..right
Need to see the other side. Typically that side is brutal!
@@vinceandtheresa1243 well he didnt either see it
He showed and I was thinking he was gonna say "now see this throttle body is look nice and clean so we don't need to worry about it right now"
I changed someones battery out in an Autozone parking lot today. I felt a lil like Scotty, just a lil 😁👍🏻
Did you grunt too? Essential
Thank you Jonny, you are a good person. That car,s. owner will remember that forever. It,s called humanity.
A little moonshine and you're there!
Did u talk loud like him and wave your hands around...lmao
imagine the car that you've changed the battery needs computer reset or something stupid like that to work again.. XD
Two points I would like to make. #1, I cleaned my MAF sensor and my gas mileage improved substantially. Also, my car does run better as a result. Totally worth it, but you have to buy MAF cleaner and ONLY use that. You can damage the MAF sensor using anything else. Point #2, what Scotty does to clean the throttle is technically OK, It would be a better idea to remove the throttle from the engine so you clean it more effectively. This also helps reducing the possibility of crud and dirt entering into the engine when you spray. Just a warning about the throttle, most cars have an electronically controlled throttle like my car (2007 Mazda 6). If I were to push on the throttle like Scotty does to clean the inside, I would destroy my throttle since the throttle is calibrated to to a certain position by the car's computer. Make sure you check if you can manually push your throttle open, otherwise removing it from the vehicle is a better way to clean it.
Endorsing your comment!
Scotty recommended CRC specific cleaners
I’m shocked nobody pointed out it’s NOT ok to open the throttle body if it’s by wire not not cable. I’ve seen first hand what a finger poke in a throttle body can do. Ruin it, and $500 fix. Do t poke your fingers through a throttle by wire throttle body if you want a happy career as a tech.
That about throttle body is not true electronic thortlte just means there is an actuator and gears. Moving something manually that is designed to move two ways won't obviously damage it.
Please take note that if you clean your mass air flow sensor you cannot clean it with brake cleaner. You have to use a mass air flow sensor spray., it doesn’t leave residue behind such as brake cleaner, which could potentially give inaccurate readings.
Gustavo Estrada-Blas it’s not residues that’s the problem. It’s the solvent levels are too aggressive on that electrical unit.
Using the throttle body cleaner and MAF sensor cleaners are better suited for their specific functions. One has a faster drying time etc.
Any electronics cleaner will do... No residue is the goal
trulysick86 the electrical connector spray has a higher solvent level and drys much slower than the MAF spray.
The reasoning behind that is that spray will clean about two Sensors (or one).
The manufacturer of the cleaners has data on the sprays so that anyone can make a more educated decision. I suggest you look into that before you start working on more modern cars that are sensitive to solvent levels. Better yet do what the vehicle manufacturer recommends.
Tbh I just cleaned my MAF sensor yesterday with MAF Cleaner and my car didn't start after. Even with the sensor cleaner you got to becarefull and not get to close, those sensors are damn sensitive
Drew 1K tbh read the manufacturers specifications before you spray anything.
If it does not start afterwards and there was no warning in regards to the solvents being used. Chances are that MAF sensor was on the verge of failing.
OMG.. Thank you Scotty, My car was running like crap, and the check engine was on. I used both of the CRC cleaners and my car is running excellent! I did this on the 4th and I really feel like I got my freedom back! No more cruddy mechanics for me! Thanks so much Scotty, U rock! God Bless You!
this is a man's channel begone to the kitchen!!!
@@steve75112 corny as hell
I’m a 67 yr old Grandma, and I am learning so much from you. I might not do the work, but I know what to ask about now.
I'm 60, and agree it helps to know the working dynamics of a vehicle! I also love to take my 2009 Toyota Venza to my female mechanic!
My check engine light turn on one day and I took it over to a company to scan it. Code came up with the mass flow sensor problem. We looked how much for each one. I was shocked at 239.99 each and not in stock. I ran out the door and looked up Scotty. Man I tell you what, I want to Walmart they had a $20.00 kit for throttle body and mass flow sensor cleaner. Sent an hour and took both intakes off to clean the throttle body’s. Then took the sensors off the intakes and sprayed cleaned both sensors. I walked away for 15 min and checked my work all parts were clean and dry. Put everything back together and took for a 5 min test drive. Check engine light as soon as I came off the drive way and a year later has not returned. Thanks Scotty!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars
Scotty your dope, I been learning how to work on my 2003 Infiniti M45 it's a pain not knowing what is what. You've definitely taught me alot. About to change the head gasket, radiator, and spark plugs. When you can't afford a mechanic, as long as you have military like attention to detail you can do it.
Thanks Scotty.
Am also trying to soak up the 51 years of Scotty being in the game too.. 👍
✊
Went out and bought the CRC cleaners and did this. I'm noticing better response, really appreciate these videos.
thank you, Scotty and same to u! I just wanted to say that all the dislikes on ur videos are people who own Chevy or any other American brand car, period! I cant understand how anybody could not love Scotty Kilmer channel and him, amazing guy! God bless u Scotty!
Don't forget Merc.benz BMW Fiat etc...
cordinate81 there are always " Know it alls", who criticize everything and everybody! THIER KNOWN AS... ASSHOLES!😂😂😂😂🌹
Yes. I been changing my oil every 5000 miles, air filter 10k and basic maintenance. Just passed 300,000 miles on my '05 Chevy Colorado, I-5 cyl. Still running strong. Easy to do. Thanks for all your info.
scotty best youtuber mechanic and mechanic in the world!!!
Yes he is! 😊
Facts
Scotty , you might want to tell people not to use a pressure sprayer to clean off the bugs on the condenser or radiator just a garden hose because it could damage could damage the fins. Now how would I know that.
I think you can use one, and they would do a better job, just keep a good distance away. A pressure washer up close seems to be able to destroy everything.
Did your ac quit?
pressure washer WILL---DAMAGE---RADIATOR FINS,Will for sure, I know.keep away.
Ah but if you take it off and pressure wash 100% head on you should be good. I did this with my intercooler and haven't seemed to have damaged it.
1:25 Scotty lookin like a runway model, hair blowing in the breeze 😄👍🏻
Hey Scotty I maintain a fleet of trucks and heavy equipment.
I found with our gas engine Chevy trucks that are drive by wire (no throttle cable) When I clean the throttle blades and move them by hand it will affect how the engine runs until it re learns the throttle position and will idle higher than usual.
If I clean them and not change the blade manually it won’t have any idle issues.
To be able to clean inside without forcing the blade open by hand I turn the key on push the throttle pedal down with a rod, the blade will open electronically and I can clean inside the throttle body without causing any issues.
I have heard of that happening! Good suggestion of avoiding the rough idle 👍 Thanks!
Smart move. A lot of my customers move them by hand and break the plastic gears. Throttle bodies are not cheap
Exactly. I one of my pry bars to the pedal and the handle to the seat! Well done sir!
Cleaning the AC coil is a significant positive measure. It helps to use a water solution of dish detergent to clean the coils. Rinse with the water hose. A soft bristle brush can help remove bugs trapped in the coil fins.
James Bockenstette Excellent advice! Better than just plain water!
That was great info Scotty, thanks so much for the reminders to keep things checked for preventative maintenance, you're the best!!!!!
...yeah these simple procedure videos are a gold mine for basic do it yourself maintenance. I like how Scotty brings the how and why together.
Mine has a m.a.p sensor which requires a little care when cleaning. Car runs smoother as a result. Had a duff injector which made the 02 sensor stop switching, ecu detected misfire on cylinder 3 so replaced injector and cleaned the sensor and low and dehold it started switching again. It's amazing how one fault can lead to many. A scanner and a bit of detective work does wonders. Love your advice scotty.
I cleaned up the MAF, it was almost black. Also did the Mass Sensor. Idle went from 700 to 1000 rpm, no more hesitation, running great.
Can't say anything that has not already been said but... Keep up the good work Scotty!
Live free or die. Yes. I can attest to that. In my country, we're dying.
Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela.
You may need a Revolution, like we had against the British!
@IBrainedMyDamage ... Yeah, but we also got socialism which destroys everything.
@IBrainedMyDamage the only good thing they have is cheap fuel
Chavezoid Interestingly, I have Grandson in Law in Caracas: May exist the area through Colombia?..........

Of course, before getting in your car to drive anywhere-- do a walk around to look at the general outward appearance of your vehicle and focus specifically on your tires. One or more may be flat or soon to be flat.
Sylvia Frank Great advice Sylvia! Who says a woman knows nothing about a car? Lol
Keep watching Scotty's videos. You need all the help you can get!
Good Advice, do it again once you arrive at your destination and it can keep you from leaving your lights on .
Happy Independence Day Scotty. You are a great American.
And the rest of the world also thinks you're a great human being Scotty
I approve this message.
Thanks! My pickup was running rough at low RPM, mostly during acceleration but also at highway speed. Cleaning the throttle body did the trick.
Yeah good regular maintenance can make a car last a very long time.
Yeah but the DIY parts prevent your money pit to have the mechanics shop as a second home
@Rich West LOL
As long as you have a good car. Some cars are garbage even with proper maintenance. Be a Scotty get a Toyota or a Honda Lol...
Its just so obvious. It seems the hardest drivers do the least maintenance 😕 🙄
That was an ASE - certified grunt @ 0:48!!😀
😭😂😂😂
Hilarious. I love Scotty!
Back when you were a young mechanic in the 60's? You mean the 1860's? 😂 😂
Scotty, thank you for all the knowledge you share. I'm 64 years old, and never felt comfortable about servicing my own ride until I discovered your channel. MAHALO NUI LOA!!
Thanks SCOTTY
I have gone 55,000 miles without doing this
no check engine light
and overheating
car runs fine
But, I have a Toyota 😁
but I'll look into it
Thanks for your help and videos
Live free or die!!!
Love it. Thank you Scotty. Never a truer phrase 👍💪
I have a 2004 Suburban and it had 200k on the odometer. It was idling rough, stalling at lights, running like crap. I cleaned the mass air flow sensor and throttle body as demonstrated here and it was like getting a brand new vehicle. The difference was remarkable!
thanks you scotty, my car had no power. i just cleaned the mass air flow sensor and now it runs great with good acceleration. i see a very big difference in my acceleration. thank you. next i need to clean the air throttle.
I know exactly how hot and humid it's been down in texas the past few weeks!
My thoughts too. Love watching his channel and have learned a lot from him. Thanks for all you do Scotty!
Thanks again Scotty for the usual reminders, oil changes air filters tire pressure checks and pointing out the reasons why they're not so trivial. Cleaning tips - very cool!
Thanks for explaining that the pressure ratings are for when the tires are cold :)
When it comes to the first part about cleaning the air flow sensor and throttle plate, it seems prudent to leave it alone if all is running right. With my luck, I'd drop a screw into the engine.
I lost one of the two screws by dropping it just last week 😭
I had a trainee do that when replacing an intake gasket. It was a good learning experience though because he then had to take the heads off to find the screw.
It was bad for us though because we had to rent the customer a car for the extra day that it took to put it all back together.
Not really, it's a super easy thing to do. And I've seen them where the engine seems to run perfectly smooth and fine before, but was actually getting noticeably worse gas mileage until I cleaned it. And with the throttle plate... there's usually no screws to remove, just some clamps to loosen.
@@dominicfong6341
Yes. Never manually operate an electronically controlled throttle body
JS Mariani You take the screws out, put them in your pocket, you won't lose them! Very simple!
THANK YOU !!!! I SAVED 190 DOLLARS THAT CADILLAC WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO DO THROTTLE CLEANING!
If you're mechanically inclined, the way it's done is removing the throttle body where applicable. Most people who do this themselves are just going to spray debris back into the intake. Some things he makes sound simple. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
What`s so hard about it ? Anybody can do this, its called not being lazy !! Most of the time it can be cleaned without removal & it wont spray debris into the intake if you spray the cloth & then wipe the throttle body clean !! ITS SIMPLE & IT WORKS !!
@@rodneyjones4890 So you're telling me that everyone who sees this video is just going to automatically know what throttle body they do and don't have to take off to properly clean it? That's pretty brave. That's how intakes get blown off of 3.8 series 2 GMs that have a customer try to "clean" their own throttle body. Intake is plastic. But hey, ain't your money! Hey everyone! You might save yourself $150! Or you might have to put a $300 intake on your car because it's plastic and might blow to bits! You know what? Go for it. I make more money putting an intake on a car over cleaning the throttle body anyway.
@@bryantr90 WHY IS EVERYONE SO USELESS THESE DAYS ? WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT IT ?
@@bryantr90 IF YOU CAN WIPE YOUR ARSE CLEAN YOU CAN WIPE A THROTTLE BODY CLEAN, ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE !! MAYBE YOU "SNOWFLAKES" SHOULDNT OWN CARS !!
I took Scotty's advice from a previous video about cleaning MAF sensors, and I DID see an improvement in how my 2004 Chevy Colorado runs.
This is such a service! Not only does no one MAINTAIN anymore, mechanics only do triage on failed parts. I can't think of a mechanic who'd even do this unless told. Hence, DIY with VIDEOS LIKE THIS. Happy Independence Day.
Thank you for answering my question Scott. I’ve been watching you for 5 years now and love your videos
Great tips, Scotty👍
Have an awesome Independence Day!🇺🇸
One of the best Scotty Kilmer tutorials I've seen. Nice work.
I've been so much into car videos that I use a multimeter to check my oatmeal to see if it's hot or warm
Scotty not only tells us the advice but he signs as he talks for our deaf friends, what a guy
Also, don't forgot to check your cabin air filter, usually behind the glove box on most modern cars
Yes some drop leaves and junk into the fan when you pull it out. A 90° molded heater hose taped onto a shopvac nozzle can get the junk out. Be careful of the blower’s squirrel cage they are often delicate.
Uh my vehicles dont use a cabin air filter
Great quote! I'm going to use it. "Don't blow $5k on an engine because you don't want to spend $50 bucks on an oil change." I always tell people that you can't afford NOT to do oil changes and maintenance on your car.
The World needs more people like you.
Hmmm🤔 what a great mechanic tip😊👍. Thanks Scotty. You are the best.
Keep them coming, Scotty!!❤️
So my 20 year old Toyota Corolla had a minor hiccup recently. It felt like the engine was misfiring; like the engine was barely doing any work at certain times while driving. It seemed to be random.
Turns out I had a vermin problem that I think caused the issue. I had the spark plug wiring looked like it had been chewed up in one spot! And the air filter had mice droppings!
Changed spark plugs+wiring and it ran perfect! Idk where the previous owner parked the dang thing but freakin mice droppings in the air filter? Needless to say it's not been an issue after I bought it.
But it can always be something just gets dirty (or chewed up by a mouse haha).
The only other thing the 99 Corolla needs is a new head gasket seal cause it eats up oil. The engine is stained with oil all around that seal.
Aside from that this 99 Corolla has never had a major breakdown. The worst breakdown was the drive belt broke (mustve been the original 20 year old one). Was driving when suddenly car starts overheating and running funny. Just a $20 belt was all it needed!
Paid $500 cash for that Corolla and it's still running 3 years later. Went from about 105,000 miles to 125,000 miles. Pretty low for a 99! And awesome for a toyota!
you need to watch mousetrap monday videos on youtube
fidel catsro lol I really do. I mean idk what the previous owner did but I was astounded looking at that air filter lmao
I live in the booneys. Here mice are a real problem too, if we leave a vehicle sit for about 3 or 4 days then it's almost a guarantee that a mouse will find it's way up there. So it's not as shocking as you might believe.
SCOTTY the best thing I did to my 97 Ford escort at over 200k is changed the spark plug cables. It now runs perfectly.
That's good advice Mr Kilmer. Thank you 😀😀
Did anyone else think the thumbnail looked like a laser being shot through the sensor 🤣🤣
When i wasa younger i was a fleet mechanic. The company that hired me used a lab that i sent oil samples to for each vehicle. They told us when to change their oil in each vehicle, the best vehicles could go 20,000 miles and the worst 3000 according to the lab results. And it was that way before i worked there and after i left for more money , the owner said he was very happy with the program. The next company did the same they also believed in the system. So when i went into business for myself putting lots of miles on my service trucks i did the same program i changed one aspect of the program i put magnets on the oil filters. And would cut them open just to see what effect it had , it worked very well 570,000 miles on one motor with no problems at all , i used the magnets in my race motors as well , it works to stop a small issue like a broken valve spring or rocker from hurting the rest of the engine,, opps i gave away a racing secret. Thanks Scotty for your video's .
Now most major companies that have fleet vehicles do now. As a maintenance superintendent for a drilling company we started using the oil analysis and savedm.j the company almost a million dollars per year as we had EMD engines that held like six barrels to12 barrels of oil depending on the engine. Also has a lot of industrial type engines have magnets twice throughout the oil pan and filtering system. Just check the magnet in your Automotive transmission fluid pan a lot of GM engines have magnets in the transmission pan starting back in the late seventies
Hi Scotty,
You continue to validate all of my thoughts for car maintenance and also the best vehicles to invest hard earned money. I am always learning from your channel and I’m grateful.
In this video you applaud the VIAIR air compressors for quality. I’m retired now and about to start my journey into full-time RV living. Other channels are also extolling it’s virtues but when I see you have invested, I’m buying one for the required daily tire checks on my travel trailer. Thanks again for all. As I said once before in a comment, I hope to shake your hand one day.
Warmest Regards
Tennessee Pal
@1:39 - Scotty did warn about disturbing the throttle body on newer computer controlled vehicles in another video and the need to reset these vehicles' computer. So be warned!
I was going to comment on that actually lol
Same thing happened to me . Gotta get a scan tool !
What video was it ?
If you looked closely, that video showed Scotty when be was younger
Aah! Triggered! The last time I used my carb cleaner the can fell down on the woodpile and the snorkel vanished down a hole. Choice words were spoken but the woodpile did not release its captive.
Hugh Breckett, LOL !
Lol
The peckerwood was up in the house doing a roustabout
I don't need that Haynes manual nomore thank you Scotty you the man..
Danger: Have 3800 engine, removed mass air flow sensor and sprayed it with the proper cleaner and put it aside to dry. Removed rubber hose on the intake throttle body and found a screen . The butterfly valve was about 6 inches further in and could not be reached to clean, Decided to spray some of the carb cleaner thru the screen and thought it would be a good idea to run the engine to pull the cleaner to the butterfly valve. Had just sprayed a short burst of cleaner with the engine running and there was a explosion on both sides of the engine. Scared me, luckily did not do any damage, only way to clean the throttle body is to remove it from the car, Suppose I had sprayed a good amount of cleaner with the engine off and then started the engine? Think the intake manifold would have been blown up.
That's right. Spray it all over the paint job! Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
Careful with the MAF sensor. Touch it and the heater element could snap in two.... Ask me
Yes my mechanic said they are very sensitive not even a clean it twice get a new one then
They are sensitive, that's why they say ONLY use MAF sensor cleaner. Don't use brake cleaner, carb cleaner, etc...
Brandon Burley You should "handle with care" but they don't fall apart from just spraying cleaner into, and around them!
They are easy to reach normally, handle them gently, as you should with EVERY sensor. These newer vehicles are delicate things in comparison to the older vehicles
Scotty! your the best you push me to be a better technician an a honest technician.. stay blessed brother!!
just discovered you recently .been a mechanic sine mid 60's retired now but all this new stuff is new to me get a lot of new info from you and realize we think the same way from the old days you do talk kind of fast but i can understand you most of the time at least you don't have a bunch of kids or crapy loud music covering up your voice
Moving the throttle butterfly by hand like that can upset some cars and they run crap afterwards.
I think that's only on newer vehicles with electronic throttles. An older vehicle as shown here that has a springy cable throttle should be fine (the kind you can manually rev the engine with).
mine is electronic and i have clean it twice and always move it with my hand, nothing has gone wrong in 2 years
PRESSURE RATING IS FOR COLD TIRES..... THANK YOU!! I ALWAYS WONDERED!
Always set hot tires 3 to 4 pounds higher than the cold spec so you won't have a low tire light the next morning
Thank you Scotty seeing your garage doesn't make me feel so bad about mine
Basic Maintenance... best tip. Best to you and yours.
MAF MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TH-cam THUMBNAIL
I need one of those life sized jet engine 💨fans Scotty!
The radiator shop took a handful of crud out of my 97 ford escort. Now it runs so cool I hardly need the fan in Mexico.
I use Amsoil and have for decades, extended drain interval, 25,000 mile rated oil and 15,000 mile rated Amsoil oil filter. The car or truck usually falls apart around the motor or I sell it and the engine is solid. Regardless of the oil and filter rating I always change the oil once a year on our primary vehicles. I could also tell you a story on how I was introduced to Amsoil back in early 1990's and why I still use it today.
Hey Scotty, does the name Sylvan Rodriguez sound familliar to you? My uncle was telling me that Sylvan would ask you if a car he was going to buy would be a good buy. I think he said you worked on Houston channel 11 as well.
I luv ur dedication to cars Mr.kilmer, great video. Happy 4th July!
Scotty thanks for telling how to clean the sensor and the throttle. Couldn't believe how dirty that could get! You're the BEST!
The world needs you, Scotty
Why doesnt scotty have a project corolla from craigslist? Would be fun to watch
What year
+Scotty Kilmer, Toyota Celica bonnet up, to Lexus engine bay! I spotted it ;) Love your vids!
Thanks from down under Scotty! You Da Man!!!!
Thank's Scotty, i've been a Millwright all my life, so car mechanics are not my specialty, i appreciate your tips a lot, your explanations are clear enough, i'm a fan of your page.
Things used in this video:
1. CRC Mass Air Flow Cleaner
2. CRC Throttle Cleaner
3. Portable Air Compressor
4. Common Sense
Scotty, you need to make a video on how to use #4. Some people don't have a clue.
Indeed
Dunnig Kruger effect...
That's funny. But true!!
I love EcoBoost engines, love watching them blow up on tracks, that is.
check oil levels between changes, even newer engines have some blow by and running the engine even a quart low can effect performance and wear out faster.
We Love You Scotty!!.... Your The Man Of All Times. Thank You So Much!!
Awesome content brother. Thanks for the knowledge.

LauraNY Same to you... Gorgeous! From me, Scotty and all the Kilmer club members! Did you have a big gathering at your place?🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Scotty, what you said about premium gasoline in that context may be true; however, nowadays with Euro 6 emission standards here in Europe, low sulfur content diesel (10ppm) is a must to avoid DPF problems and ensure the common rail system works efficiently. I sold my old Toyota Hilux after eight years and the emissions card read an incredible 0.01! The guy who bought it couldn’t believe it. I don’t know about other premium fuels, but Shell V-Power Diesel really worked for me. Moreover, the truck was so sporty and responsive that it impressed everyone who took it for a test drive; they thought it was because of some sort of modification.
THANKS Up here in CANADA just discovered your page I apricate how you freely share your many years of experience. In the process of fixing up a 2001 Ford Focus Wagon SE with the 2.0L 4 cyl.

Change your oil.
And remember WD-40 is not oil.
its a degreaser!
It's water displacement
@@frankienorbertsteiner8167 I know it is the WD-40 comment was meant as a JOKE

Ex-Law Enforcement sounds amazing!! :D
Well i buyed a new throttle body, because the old one the inside was bending and not closing fully anymore after cleaning. ( car from 1999. Maybe the first possible throttle body from the fabric) Also the mass air flow was dirty. Cleaned it and placed the new throttle body. Drive like new! So happy that the problem is solved. Also thank scotty, because he saving us money
Thanks Scotty for some very good advice to keep your car running at peak performance! All easy enough to do, without spending a lot of money! I change oil and filter every 3-4 thousand miles, even though I use full Synthetic oil!
How to keep your car running:
Sell it and buy a Toyota
What if we already have a Toyota 🤔🤔
Jack Kenny sell it and buy a Lexus
@@jackkenny4194 Sell it and buy a 94 celica
Lexus is the way to go 🤩
@@user-xq2fz5tz9t The parts are more expensive just because it says Lexus on it. Great cars, but I'll take a Toyota Avalon over a Lexus.
How to maintain your car in three simple steps
#1 sell ur Mercedes
#2 change your oil often
#3 drive a 1994 Toyota celica
Too cold? Normally the temp gauge on my nissan barely registers and during the winter it's very difficult to heat the cab. Fortunately, I live in the desert southwest. 22 years and 225k and it's still going strong.
john smith I think the cooling system thermostat is stuck open (or missing)
I LOVE HOW CHEAP & KNOWLEDGEABLE SCOTTT IS! 🙏💯💯💯
If I watch too many more of your videos, you are going to eventually convince me to buy an electric car! K.I.S.S.
Either you'll get an actual "lead sled" with no performance and some range or you'll get a lithium time bomb with no range and both take hours to "fill up" if you do that.
If you want your car to last a long time.
Buy a 1994 toyota celica! Like Scotty did.
Happy Independence Day Scotty!
Thank you for calling the holiday by its correct name
