I use transmission fluid to make my tires look new and shiny. Been using it for years. Works great.
I've always used carb and chole cleaner to find vacuum leaks
@@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 Doesn't that ruin your tires? I gues yo must be careful not to overdo it or you can slip on the road.
Iam here to help what i can do to u
We don't want to lose Scotty he is the best
No wonder Scotty's Celica is immortal. It gets a full preventative maintenance treatment about every 3rd video
AHAHAAAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Good old airborne fella I’m catching stomach cramps in every video. Keep em coming . Airborne All the way
Haha
Hahaha
This was the most hilarious thing I read today
This guy hast over 3,5 million subs and still answers comments. What a legend!
@ they better hurry up, since he's moving.
@ where to in TN?
He's answered at least 40 of mine thruout the years. I love scotty like a father
Yep he answered my questions before he's a great guy 👍
I don't think alot of ppl had the time to do that and he does
WD-40 stands for "water displacing". The "40" is the 40th formulation that was tried during its development. Fun fact - WD-40 was never patented so the formulation did not have to be published and thus their competitors could not copy them and sell a knock off product.
Thank you. Didn't know this.
Sometimes trade secret is a better way to go than patenting.
I work in a chemical plant. The main thing about it is a constant flow of water. There is water in pipes, water on pipes, water on the ground, water in the ground, water in the air, water frozen into literally tons of ice every day, and even water here you don't want it.
Chemicals don't need a lot of water probably, but the people who work around them need lots and lots of flushing and flow in order to dillute and minimize the hazards inherent to the various other fluids.
As a result, everything made of steel is rusted. Stainless won't hold up to some stuff and is too expensive to other stuff, so that's limited too.
We use a product called Knocker Loose, and it blasts down into the rust and onto the metal beneath, saving countless hours and knuckles.
It's not infallible, but it's pretty great.
Mansplain
@@postergmail6202 what is the opposite of Mansplaining? I think it's called Nagging.
The smell of WD-40 always takes me back to working in the garage with my dad throughout my childhood. I love it. Lots of cool cars, lots of busted knuckles but most importantly lots of great memories.
Same here bud!!!🤘
i dont have a dad 😞
Yes sir, same here.
If a machine didn't start my dad got the wd-40 out and sprayed it round a few engine and electrical parts.
If they didn't work I knew I was going to end up holding the torch lol.
Great name! Love The Goonies ☠💀🏴☠️
So I sprayed WD-40 on my girlfriend to find out where the noise was coming from. Long story short, I got locked out and spent the night in my car.
Shoulda brought the wd40 with ya
🤣🤣
Hahaha 😂
But the noise stopped, right? Problem solved.
This legit made me laugh out loud lmao
I put WD-40 on my 2017 BMW 530i and it turned into a 1994 Toyota Celica.
Wash it off a 1994 Toyota Celica and see if turns into a 2017 BMW 530i!
Scotty: Now it's fixed!
Good fn thing for you
upgrade....
so its more reliable now
Hey Scotty,
I'm a retired grandma and I love watching your classes!! When I have a car problem now, I know how to talk to my 2 handy car repair boys about what the issue might be or better yet, understand what the problem is. Now I get help faster from them knowing what I'm hearing or feeling when driving down the road.
Thank you,
Scotty is that dad most kids wish they had
Wow. I guess this is what America has come to.
True, but my dad doesn't like it when I tell him that.
Please don't ever retire from TH-cam! Much love from Northern California.
👨👩👧❤
With over 3 million subscribers, I can assure you he’s not retiring anytime soon. He’s making big $$$.

Not going to lie. I loved the smell of WD-40 when I was a kid.
Until you become like the character Skank from the 1980's movie The Wraith with shooting it up your nose
Dang. At least you came to the motor pool Sir 😂
😆😆😆
Man this guy should have his own show. What a gem and genuine good dude. I’d watch his show every week. They don’t make em like this guy anymore. Thanks 🙏 for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Just came across your channel and you gotta a new subscriber now.
You must have talked to my dad. For about 37 year's he has sprayed WD on everything. I thought he was crazy. But you have made me see his love for WD and the wisdom he truly has.
Wise Daddy ;-)
The picture of the Tin man was hilarious .
This video and another one actually helped me remove a depressing squeak in the undercarriage of our car. Guy's a national treasure
Scotty just wanted to thank you so much for all information you give in Your own Scotty way. We appreciate you.
Scott I like watching you explain not only the problem but how to go about fixing it ,I'm a mechanic from way back but I still tinker with all the new technology your not boring so your easy to listen too.
I've heard, many decades ago that, some people used WD-40 on their side windows and rear windshield so the water shed better. I, for myself, use Rain-X twice/year. It works wonder in winter, when you defrost your vehicle. Snow and ice comes off easier. Greetings from Canada Scotty.
Cheers to this guy who never said a single curse word ever
Hey Scotty I know you said not to spray it on the paint but sometimes you have too. My friend just got a new car and was driving it to a friend's house and pass some road construction were they we're laying new asphalt. She got it all over her car. She came to me about it and the only thing that would get the asphalt off was WD-40. We washed the car afterwards and was good as new!
That was a FANTASTIC video Scotty!
Time and time again. How can I not think my phone is spying on me. I just came back from my mechanic and made an appointment to find and fix this issue. I don't look up stuff like this but here you are , I can't go nowhere or look at any thing with out my snoopy phone popping up a video .
Scotty, over the last couple of years you've taught me so much and what an experience this has been.
Thank you for being a great mechanic and a wonderful teacher.
I wish you the best of luck in your retirement.
Thanks again.
People have been using wd40 and carb cleaner to locate vacuum leaks since the beginning of time .
🇨🇦🌈
You know, Mr Scotty has made a ton of WD 40 videos in the past, and enjoyed and watched them all through to the end. And I'm still learning. ... thanks again Mr Scotty. .. nico from Trinidad and Tobago.
You're awesome Scotty! Thanks for all of the tips on car maintenance!👍
You should try the WD-40 cologne as well !
I had a uncle that used that , needles to say he passed away from skin cancer.
Ah a real man's Cologne
It’s my fav
Hjhj
I put it in my salad
This is my favorite mechanic he is a legend and i download every video because you never know!
Great video Scotty! Thank you. I always watch your videos and I’ve been doing stuff on my own for the first time in 60 years.❤️🙌🏻
More great advice from one of the best mechanics on the planet. Thanks Scotty!
I can smell WD-40 just from watching this video.
Same
Also lubricate you weather stripping with the silicone once a year to keep em from drying up and ripping
Works wonders on my electric shaver. Had the same unit for almost 10 years and haven't even had to replace the blades yet!
Bro I don’t think WD-40 should be on your face… first thing everyday. I’m sure they’d attempt to disabuse you from this activity, if they were aware.
Prayers. 🙏🏻😵
my mother used to work at a factory where they made WD-40 here in wisconsin years ago... it's closed down now. but we used to get that stuff by the cases because she could get it extremely cheap. not that it's expensive stuff... but any discount on a good product is a plus in my book. also i love that you explained how it disperses water since many people claim it's good for lubing chains and another metal products. the product was never created to actually lubricate... the WD literally stands for "water displacement".... but their silicone spray is really nice stuff as well. good knowledgeable video scotty... also... i'm a scotty as well. also have a couple friends to this day that still call me scooter. lol
WD-40 is the biggest hammer in the toolbox.
I knew old guys used spray their knees with it ,I shot you not, WD 40 originally was made from fish oils, I wouldn't recommend it nowadays in case they make it with syntetic oils .
Pb blaster is mine
@@karlmcmahon8991 My sister was talking about all the things WD40 is good for and said it's good to spray on aching joints. Like your knees and such. I think she read that off of a joke, and took it seriously. She's one that believes anything.
I just watched a video, where the guy compares different items, and their performance. Liquid Wrench beat out WD40 and PB Blaster.
Scotty has more money then any of these youtubers. He been around long before most of them too. We need more honest men in this world like Scotty. He knows how to save and shows ya these secrets to help your pockets. Scotty you the real MVP. 🐐
I don't subscribe very often, but I subscribed to you a long time ago. I am not an auto mechanic, but I have been working on automotive for almost 50 years. I enjoy it when you teach me something that I didn't know or confirm something I did.
This time I have something for you. By trade I am a Journeyman Wireman IBEW, a Certified Safe Technician, and a Certified Professional Locksmith. You showed to use WD-40 in an automotive lock. Where you are, it is not a bad idea. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, a hot dry dusty desert. WD-40 has an oil base that collects dust and drys to a sticky laquery film. I will use WD-40 as a cheap cleaning solvent, but then rinse it out with a greaseless lubricant like LPS1, or dry graphite, depending on what the application is. Some automotive locks use a light grease.
Thanks for all the videos, have a Happy New Year, and keep your engine reved.
When I was a Mechanic I had a "Engineering Flow Chart" on my toolbox, it had a picture of WD40 and Duct tape on it it said if it moves and it shouldn't use duct tape, if does not move and it should use WD 40.
Or if it moves, grease it. If it doesn't, paint it.
Classic
Classic
@@RockyDave that's the army version...
@@wayneholmes637 Yes, you're right.
Learned a lot just watching Scotty's videos. If I had a fancy scan tool and some more tools I could do a lot of my own maintenance.
Auto shops, parts shops, schools, neighbors, garage sales, craigslist, thriftstores....
I love this guy every time I've watched his videos on problems with my car he's been 110% right every time this guy knows what he's talking about
It’s definitely a great product! I used it almost everywhere!
Love your channel Scotty. A suggestion for a future video would be the proper / best use of the various lubricants details out there - WD40, Silicone, white Grease, etc. Thanks for all the great tips!
I second this notion.
I use it to stop the squeaking from my clutch pedal. Works awesome 👍
Started watching the video with very low expectation due to the caption but turns out the other way around! Very interesting and fun to watch.
No one works harder than scotty kilmers hands when he’s talking!
I understand Scotty so much better when he uses examples on his ‘94 Celica.
Scotty your a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for what you do. You got my subscription!
Informative and entertaining. Love this guy!
I literally have never gave a hoot about cars until being introduced by your videos, you are a great mechanic and good youtuber.
Another great car repair video 👍🏼
This guy's a True Legend 🤘
He shares Awesome tricks, hacks and knowledge without hiding anything.
🍻🍻👍🙏
Thanks from Oz. I have learned so much about looking after my car.
Great thank for this video, Scotty! I really appreciate what and how you do. Greetings from the Czech Republic!
My grandfather with WD40 was like the Professor on Gilligan's Island, could do anything.
Did he use it as a lubricant while making love to grandma??? 🤭😂😂
Same.🤣🤣 And he was also using B-12 Carburetor Cleaner as a bug spray on his patio.🤦🤣🤣
That 9v battery in their radio lasted 3 seasons. 9 Lives Eveready.
My grandfather uses gasoline for everything. If there’s weeds gasoline, bees gasoline, oil spill gasoline............
@@joedifranco1659 now they would love to catch and fine him. Can you say EPA?
Starter fluid works great and unmistakably raises the idle, like u said just be careful and not spray a lot or by the headers...
Like the guy on Greek Wedding-he used Windex on EVERYTHING!!! : ) Thanks Scotty. I have a 2004 Ford Freestar 4.2 running rough, Check engine light started flashing-got all sorts of error codes! . Changed Spark plugs and wires, car ran better but check engine light stayed on and I kept getting P02196,P0172 and P0174 Error codes-rich and lean. Changed all four O2 Sensors. MAF, EGR, reset ECU, Air filter, fuel filter, Oil and oil filter after a motor flush, fuel pressure regulator and cleaned PCV valve. Also put Sea Foam in gas tank. Car runs 100% better but still has a hard idle, check engine light with codes P02196, 172&174? So I'm thinking a vacuum leak somewhere? Can't wait to try the WD40! Thank you!!!
Great to have you share your wisdom again Scotty thank you.
I just used a big can of WD40 to get rid of tar. The main road by my house was under construction and I ended up getting tons of tar underneath my car. I tried everything and WD40 was the only thing that worked.
That’s because of the kerosene in it
paulparoma My Jeep is white and it was everywhere! On the doors, side panels, wheel wells and the bumpers.
use mineral turpentine
Did it desolve the road .😂👍
Felix Melendez , hi one company I worked for bought WD 40 in gallon cans, then gave every service van 2 pint spray bottles of the stuff. Another great product I’d ‘NEVER SEIZE’, but they have different formulas, just like WD 40 NOW , Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Scotty is awesome one of my favorite channels on TH-cam I love watching your videos daily.
thank you!
Great video Scotty 😮
Love all your advice Scotty
Happy Sunday to everyone on this platform. Pls stay safe and stay blessed.
Happy Sunday!
You too
I like the fact that you can get WD40 in just the size you need, from the magic marker size that I carry in my tackle box, up to 65gal. barrels if the need arises. I love the smell of WD40 in the morning, smells like, water displacement!
From Malaysia..love to learn scotty skills 😎
Smart Scotty boy! Been watching you for at least 20 years
Love the vid! The reason you would not want to use WD-40 in door locks is that once it has dried, it leaves a residue that tends to gum up the locks' cylinder pins, causing dust to and dirt to accumulate. Far better to use either powdered graphite or dry silicone spray. One time as an experiment, I sprayed a section of steel plate with a generous amount WD and let it set for a week. When I came back to it, it had mostly dried but was still tacky with dust clinging to it. After a month it was fully dried and indeed was doing a good job of protecting the metal. However, it took a rag soaked with lacquer thinner and some vigorous scrubbing to remove it. I found that while not quite as good as battery terminal spray, WD makes a nice substitute.
The first thing to do with WD-40 is to hope that the sprayer works when you need it.
YES!! I have 3 bottles, no straws. Coffee straws are too thick.maybe I'll heat and pull a straw to draw it thinner then cut down until it fits.
TheRainHarvester just put wd40 on the coffee straw
If the straw doesn't work, just spray some wd40 on it.
I need you to come work on mine
So much love from south Sudan
I wish I could be there with you, you gonna be my great teacher in life🇸🇸🇸🇸
Job well done sir
You really deserve respect n love❤
You’re amazing Scotty! Thank you!
1:44 "WD-40" is abbreviated from the term "Water Displacement, 40th formula"
😁
Sgt. SLaughter Hello, YES, but do you know whom it was made for ? NASA, , & the rest is history, but now they also make other products under the SAME BRAND , including a SILICONE spray ,
Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I loved those little cans of WD-40, we always put 6-8 of them in every care package we sent to friends and relatives deployed to Vietnam! Lifesaving when the M16 was first issued with the crappy ammo loaded with leftover stock of ball propellant used in .30 cal weapons.
Scotty just saw this video from 3 months ago and as always so amazing info. Entire video was so helpful, who knew how good WD-40 was to prevent so many things especially from getting ripped off. Instead you can more less know what your problem is, WOW AMAZING as always thx!!!! Cynthia Medina.
That was a good advice. Thanks Mr. Scotty. Congratulation for your youtube channel
Now this is what a true mechanic's garage should look like,I love Scotty,he's a hoot.
When spraying under the car, be careful to not spray the brakes.
I've never noticed a difference just let it dry
No sh$t
T M H 😂
I spray mine with wd 40 before my commute through the city. Don’t want squeaky brakes!!!!
Whenever I need to fix something on my car, I ask myself, “what would Scotty Kilmer do?” WWSD

Thank you for your excellent videos Scotty. You provide useful, simple information with lots of humor and enthusiasm. BTW, you remember me of an excellent friend from the army.
oh man, Your the best mechanic of the all time for me, i have a vectra B i m from europe, and my vehicle i get it from my dad, with 480,000km on board, and many small problems, and i wath allmost your videos and my car works very great, with that 480,000km on board =]].i changed at this car, brake pads,calipers,oil pan,radiator, fuel pump,head engine gasket, and its work like brand new.
Thank you for all your help we will miss you when you retire keep in touch from time to time.
He's never gonna retire
If we had a million Scotty kilmers the world would be a better place god bless you my brother
Great vid brother Scotty.
Thays how i was taught years ago! Top vide Scotty! Cheers from Australia ❤
Good morning...Have a great Sunday!
morning, thanks you too!
Hi Scotty
Thank you so much for all your shows, I have learned so much over the years. 👍❤️
i learned a lot from this guy keep it up scotty you gave a big help to a rookie driver like me.
Thank God, informative video!!! For a change, YT is just filled with garbage so glad to come across this guy!
I LOVE your videos!!! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make them. You are Fantastic and your videos are SO helpful. I look forward to any more you make.
WD-40 is basically kerosene and makes rubber break down and crumble over time. I wouldn't spray it all over my vacuum hoses or suspension parts. Sometimes heavy duty silicone spray is a better choice. WD-40 is great for wiping off oil, tar, sticker residue, and grease.
I read it is fish oil
@@robertheinkel6225 I've seen it make rubber break down over time.
In the old days we used brake fluid on rubber bushings, it wont hurt rubber.
One of the main ingredients in wd40 is petroleum distillates it will eat Rubber, or plastic, or pcb boards, or paint.
I’m so glad I’m found your page, your the best TH-camr
Scotty is a hidden National Treasure. Yea gotta Love him. Keep on truck'n Scotty. I'll keep on watch'n.
I enjoy watching and learning from someone with experience and your videos are no exception, however I do have an issue with suggesting people spray WD-40 on rubber parts, suspension or otherwise. Rubber and lubricants are not compatible unless the lubricant is silicone. I keep silicone spray around for specifically spraying on rubber components. Not only am I not a fan of WD-40 I as well as a lot of mechanics I know have a preference to ZEP 45 for rusted and corroded components!
I prefer silicone spray on bushings, etc.
Love your channel
Love your videos. Very informative.
I use WD40 to start my lawn mower in the spring. Remove plug, spray WD40 into cylinder, replace plug and starts first pull. By the way we used WD40 as Starting Fluid at the railroad. Safer then Starting Fluid (ether). And yes Scotty WD40 is flammable.
Sometimes I comment just so people respond so I know that I am real and not a simulation
but the comments are part of the simulation

Thanks Scotty for another informative video. I use that WD40 on my cars. I also found out that the WD40 does a good job of "temporary" clear the faded plastic headlights of most cars.
Thanks Scotty.
Good stuff scotty!!
I use it for a bug remover on my cars front and I have been doing it for 20 years and it works great!
