But scotty even Toyota burns oil
...Scotty is that your neighbors lawn in the video?
It looks like someone sprayed the grass with Roundup!
The only brands I trust at this point are.
1. Subaru
2. Toyota
3. Honda ( cars )
@@rustyshackelford1483 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣

The more problems a car has, the happier Scotty becomes.
Once he starts laughing thats when the engine blows up 😂😂
Or any mechanic because that's money coming in 💰
Hmm depends. Some build their business in ways that doesn't benefit from the mistreatment of others. Not all Mechanics do this.
@@draxuno, if a car has problems, of course it has to be fixed. I don't blame the mechanic. I blame the manufacturer.
My problem is when a dishonest mechanic wants to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Example: replacing belts, bearings, tie rods, brake pads etc. when they are still in good working order. Many mechanics/dealers often recommend unnecessary repairs so they can make money.
Lexus cars have 0 problems so Mechanic's won't make any money 💰 there is nothing to work on.
I love the sticker “it’s a hybrid, it burns gas and oil” lol. Gotta love the sense of humor from the owner.
me thinking "isnt that like a 2 stroke"
Sounds like my civic.
not wrong. my 2012 prius has been burning since 2012
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The original hybrid that burned has and oil were Trabant and Wartburg from East Germany :)
You know the content creator is quality when you see a 30 minute video about something you don't care about and think, ya, I should watch this.
I am not planning on ever getting a KIA, a jeep, or (another) Hyundai. I was wondering why I was watching this video.
Lolol ❤️
Just discovered this guy and he has over 6mil subs! That's proof enough for me lol
Scotty is the type of guy i could talk to about cars for hours. Excitement from people who enjoy their job is awesome to see
I’m friends with a guy like Scotty but everyone says he’s hard to get along with (because they’re judgmental and he’s eccentric, maybe a little autistic)
Me too! I would love to have an afternoon garage talk with Scotty!!!!
:01 Kia oil burner issue
12:02 Jeep integrated modular failure
21:36 Hyundai transmission issue
So basically hyundai is there two times.
Kia is a part of hyundai motors
Thank you
KIA hyundai and chrysler shares a lot of parts. thats why/
Thank you for not making me watch all this rambling 👍
U can also steal them with a USB cable
My 2000 Camry 4cyl has 288,000 miles and doesn't and has never burned a drop of oil, it's scary how well built this car is .
Not scary at all.. it's fantastic.
Toyota makes good cars, that’s why the Camry beat the Taurus in the 90’s, among other things, lol
They're good cars. If I needed a commuter I usually look at what kind of car they have for taxi. It's a good indication of what car is reliable.
One of my co-workers had a 2001. He just recently sold it with 200,000 miles on it and had no issues with the car at all except regular maintenance.
@@ryanwiseman9141 My college roommate bought a brand-new Taurus. Total lemon.
Scotty is like an investigative reporter - he thrives on disseminating the truth to save us from misery.
Pay attention to his Shake-Rattle 'n Roll loudmouthing and you'll soon be inside a straightjacket
@DeDee
If Scotty was like an investigative reporter he wouldn’t exist.
No, he thrives on TH-cam $$$$
Scotty, I am a retired electrician and to me I think there is a parasitic short to ground somewhere in the wiring harness. Those problems are very hard to find. If it were me I think I would pull accessory fuses one by one. If you pull a fuse and the alternator voltage increases, that circuit may be your stating point. Again, I love your videos!
The more aftermarket kit the more nightmares lol
Excellent suggestion !😊
Thank you Sir!@@dhmalcolm
@electrician248
If you want to find draws the easy way on a car, get yourself an Amp Hound. One of the best tools I own for diagnosing parasitic drains.
I think I may go back to my "plan A" Find
A Car Dealer lied to a customer? I’m shocked!😳
which burns more oil that kia engine or a 2 stroke motor?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@raven4k998 or nissan engine
dealership garages do nothing but lie
Ha ha ha
I heard the story. When they replace Toyota transmission fluid, they have to measure temperature to refill fluid. However, technicians in dealership skip that step. They refill fluid whatever temperature is like mechanics do in auto shop. And then, customers are charged more than an auto shop.
Scotty is the mechanic we all want but don't deserve
speak for yourself. Im not part of the kilmer fan club. I think Scottys insane
@@steve75112 Whaddya mean, insane?! (Waving arms insanely)
Just like Batman. 😉
That mechanic that speaks incessantly loudly and hates every customer car… and finds fault with almost everything. Sounds like a recipe for a very large bill to me.
Yeah his wild rants are funny but keep him away from my ride
Imagine the hoot of having this guy as your grandpa! 🤣🤣🥰🥰
More fun then my wife to talk too,, is there a Mrs Scotty, we need to know !
I own a 2011 Kia Sorento with over 250k on it now. Besides minor work due to wear and tear that I have done in the garage at home, zero issues. So many cars and trucks have passed through my possession over the years, and I am still absolutely surprised the old Kia Sorento has been the most reliable and durable. In my experience, every car brand will have serious issues with their car lines from time to time. And none of them will own up to the issues and properly take care of their customers. Despite doing your best research, buying a vehicle is unfortunately a very expensive roll of the dice - and a game most of us have to play.
sorentos are sweet love mine
That's before they started to sell cars with GDI engines. I'm pretty sure yours is MPI.
I have a 2011 Kia Sorento V6 170000 me not one problem
2013 Kia Sorento here. 151k miles. Replaced wheel bearings, changed oils and fluids and nothing else. Rock solid.
Certain kias are bullet proof. And other have life threatening wounds when they leave the assembly line. Speaking from experience. However for the price of it I can put two engines in it and still come out ahead of a Toyota or Ford in price
All I can say is when I was looking for a new (to me) car in my senior year of college I was watching Scotty videos left and right. Paid $2,000 for a Mercury Grand Marquis on his recommendation and have had nothing but regular maintenance to do on an 18 year old car. Listen to Scotty folks.
Good car. Like a Crown Vic. Any car the cops choose is going to be a good choice.
@@Dannysoutherner Why don't they have Toyota Camrys then? 😆
@@WisconsinRailfan22 too little. Wouldn't do for pitting a runner. I saw a runner a couple of days ago. 2 police trucks had a guy in a camry or similar sedan pulled over. We were sitting at the light right next to him when he started his little car, floored it and took off up the interstate ramp. They took off after him. Then another cop took off up the surface street that parallels the interstate. Was pretty exciting.
@@Dannysoutherner yeah I bet it was! Bet they went up the parallel street in case he decided to try to exit the interstate 😆
@@WisconsinRailfan22 my guess as well. He couldn't get past us to rush into the neighborhood where he could have vanished. There are 5 limited access exits before he could have reached the real town about 10 miles away. I'm sure they had all the exits covered. Hoped news would have a story but they didn't.
I bought 2 brand new kia Sorentos. First one was a 2018 and was a great car. Non turbo, we traded it in at 60k miles for a 2021 Sorrento with a turbo. The trans started slipping at 25k miles. It also had a problem where it would go into "limp" mode sometimes under boost when passing another car. They gave us the run around time and time again. Never fixed that car. I traded it for a F150 and couldn't be happier.
I believe Kia went downhill in quality around 2020. I have a 2011 Kia Sedona van w/168k barely any issues (one issue under warranty) and the Kia dealer still wants me to come trade in for a newer model. Gets good mpg 23 or so and is reliable. I think that in my experience Toyota, Honda and then Mazda is the top 3 non domestic brands, and still make them great & long lasting vehicles. Just got a 2024 Camry Night edition and love it (35-40 mpg)
@@billv6832 They went down with the GDI motors...
The fact you bought 2 new cars and both were Kia’s is mind boggling to me
@@NickChemist-yf6oj Perhaps you missed the part where our first Kia was a great car. Usually, in life, as a human, we tend to go back to the well if the water is fine.
Scotty I love your videos and especially your enthusiasm! You crack me up and I learn something at the same time! Keep your videos coming you’re the BEST!!
I would never buy a car I couldn't fix myself, in my garage. All the crazy electronics stresses me out. 80's and early 90's is my jam.
I agree, just went through a nightmare running down a parasitic discharge on my Chevy Silverado, a 2004 2500 HD. Only 72k miles but turns out was the instrument cluster panel, which I had to replace - a fairly common malady with these vehicles. Never had problems with my old trucks. God knows what utter crap the new ones are.
Buddy had the same issue. Drove him nuts. Mechanic figured it out but wasn't cheap just to troubleshoot.
For real man. I went a little later. 08 equinox. 225k miles. I've replaced almost everything except the engine and transmission.
Its like buying a tv nowadays, it would be nice if they have an OLED with no smart tv apps on it.
Roger that !! Same here
KIA: Burning a quart of oil per 1000 miles is a design feature.
Jeep: An electrical problem? No way!🙄
Hyundai: Take the bad transmission out of this car and put it in that car. Now put the bad transmission from that car in this car. Repeat until the customer stops coming back.
Bruh WTF 🤣😂
@@TedytheCreative You're welcome.😁
My daughter was just told she needs a new transmission on her 2021 Santa Fe with only 6000 miles on it
@@frankstark3036 Is it still under warranty?🤞🙏
That’s not my point it’s the fact that a transmission dies in 6000 miles is absolutely absurd. BTW very lucky that it is still under warranty. Will the next one be just as bad?
love u bro, your style & advice is iconic. We'll never meet but your content is heavily appreciated & thank you for making these videos.
Like a couple others here, my luck with modern Kia has been amazing. Ran a Soul to almost 250K miles before trading, currently running two Sportages, one well into the 100,000s. I've replaced a fan switch. Nothing but regular maintenance besides that.
loving my soranto
My sportage my only issue is one of my headlight assembly needs to replaced not beciase the light didn't work but some other electrical things. Other then that it's good
I have a Kia Soul for 6 years with out any problems at all.
I love this guys energy and I love that he doesn't waste water on his lawn.
It's winter time. The lawn isn't gonna be green even if watered everyday.
Bermuda - it’s dormant

He’s got so much oil in the soil nothing will grow anyway
@@Ryno-fp7pm
Uuuuuhhhhh, its green across the street
I was told by Audi that 1 quart every 500 miles was normal consumption. Almost went fully Scotty on em 😂😂😂
Subaru dealer told my brother the oil burning in his new Outback was normal too. Couple years later the head gasket blew. Dealer: 'that will be $7000 to fix.'
@@onarockm1024 is the gasket made out of gold or something. ridiculous.
I'd be afraid the good lord would strike me dead for telling a lie such as that to another human being. Some folks like to live dangerous I reckon..
@@U20E0 no its what makes a subaru a subaru
Been eating oil since 1999 VW Audi lol
My brothers first car was a Chevy Vega. On the first drive home from the dealer ship the engine fell out. They had neglected to bolt it in.
Scotty, you're a gem of a human and the world is better with you here. Thank you for the years of advice, information, and entertainment!
I owned a Kia Optima for a couple of years.. I loved that car. Never had a problem. It was pretty quick and attractive. My friend had a Hyundai, his had 240k on it before the motor blew. He spent 2500 for a new motor and he is good to go .
That goes to show how regular maintenance can make a car last.
Either of those a GDI motor? It matters.
My wife and i just bought a used Sorento. Love the damn thing. After 2000 miles hasnt burned a drop of oil and there are no squeaks or rattles. Just a great running car.
My friends Kia Optima blew up right after 100k but the dealer said it happens so often Kia extended her warranty
@@mikehurt3290 try to get Detroit to do that. We bought our sorento when our Chevy equinox blew the engine. I had just checked the oil on it the day before and when the engine blew there was no oil.
Scotty you're spot on man, I work at Hyundai and have complained several times that an oil change interval of 7,000 miles is simply too long between oil changes, especially when people think they can still drive 2,000 over that! And surprise surprise when I check the oil and filter on these brand NEW cars, metal! Hyundai and Kia are shooting themselves in the foot by having to change out an engine instead of just giving out a few more 5k oil changes, instead of trying to be cheap and make them 7,000 miles out!
Have a 2013 Sonata and have done 3000 mile changes from day 1...required by the dealer to keep the warranty active.
I have a 2019 Toyota Camry. The owner's manual says that the car can be driven 10,000 miles between oil changes, and they recommend oil changes at 10K miles. While the oil is still pretty clean looking at 5,000 miles, I change it at that point to be safe. I won't get to 6K miles before I change the oil. I know Camrys are awesome cars mechanically, and can run almost forever, but I don't trust 10K oil change intervals. Also, the oil life meter comes on around 4,400 to 4,600 miles after an oil change. So that is strange as well if the manual recommends 10K miles.
@DIASISS Hyundai engines weak can’t last they always need oil changes my ford oil change is every 10k miles full synthetic
With who ever is working on my car. But because I have been doing this for 20 years so their use to me. To me they are very well put together. Now the Santa Cruz is my first Hyundai! I take this one to my KIA dealership because I Love them. At CMA. Love Santa.
If you are using Base Standard oil no not good! But now all Synthetic. I watch everything and hang out
OMG I had that experience with my 2015 Hyundai Elantra. The automatic transmission started acting wonky, hard shifting and also slipping between 1st and 2nd in eco mode but worked perfect in sport mode. The 1st time I took it back to Sports Durst NC, coincidentally, 3 native Korean engineers were visiting the dealer at the very same day and we all took the car for a spin. I felt relieved when they later took the car in to the shop for a day but unfortunately the transmission issues persisted and was never resolved even after numerous complaints.
I also have trans problems on my Hyundai Sonata 2.5 L 4 speed auto. Transmission control module perhaps. Shift points screwy.
I have over 100,00 on my manual transmission In a Hyundai.
I did have to get some work done on the clutch assembly, but so far so good.
So the Korean guys used your car to go out to lunch on your dime and then walked away basically.
I suppose you could put hot glue around a couple of the bell housing bolts before taking the car to the dealer. When you get the car back and the glue didn't crack you'll have your answer and your proof. If they are cracked, it doesn't prove they did the work either though...
I've owned 3 hyundais, 250,000 miles on the first two I owned. The 3rd one is a santa fe and I've got 130,000 on it so far. My experience is these are great cars. None have burned oil
Yeah, I have a 2012 Kia Soul + with 76k miles. Never burned a drop of oil and the auto trans is perfect
Scotty is very smart, but he hears someone has had an issue, and he shits on the whole brand. He did the same with Ram, then a year or two later, he said they're one of the better brands out there although he doesn't care for their vehicles. Some people just have biases.
@@MichaelJamesWood I think that's part of the problem. But their gdi engines are known for oil consumption and have been the subject of lawsuits.
Hyundai & Kia just need change of oil below the recommended mileage, don't overshoot it. I owned 2010 Kia Rondo and 2007 Hyundai Sonata, both do not give me a single headache. Im not sure about other models.
My 2005 Elantra has 222k on it and it burns oil, but almost any car with this amount of miles on it would do so!
I was thinking of getting a Kia until I saw this video. Horrible customer service will always keep me away. Thank you 🙏🏾
It is important to do some "research" on products & services we buy. The term "due diligence" is something we should all learn to do for products, services, and political candidates.
They are legit terrible. My Sorrento burned 5 quarts of oil in 4,000 miles. I totaled the engine driving it dry as the desert.
Me too ,, C Ya
No stay away from Kia's and Hyndai's. I was talking to a mechanic who basically said the same thing. And Scotty says the same thing
Don't do it!
Scotty, you never fail to make me smile! AND I always learn a bunch of stuff!! Thank you! ♥️
I’m really enjoying ur channel. Glad I found it. Very informative, and entertaining as well.
You are so right about the Kia. I have a 2017 Kia Optima and it burns oil like crazy! I was changing the oil every 5,000 miles. Now, by 3,000 miles, it burnt five liters of oil. I use Castrol synthetic high mileage and have 130,000 miles on the car.
damn that doesnt sound good, you might want to repalce the car. I think even our 20 year old car with almost 400k KM on it doesnt use any oil at all, altho the engine has run less, but still.
My 06 tsx slightly burns oil after 17 years and 210k miles, I will make sure to never buy a Kia.
Try MMO and drive it for a few weeks
Same thing with Subaru forester. Burning oil low mileage, they lost 3 class action lawsuits against that car but they still wouldn't do anything because mine was a hir below the limit according to them. Svc Mgr at dealership said you dont buy Subaru for reliability, you buy for safety...he said that! I traded for Lexus and got safety and reliability..lesson learned.
they engine design pancake engine, if not made correctly, the oil will get pas the rings very easily. They also got cheap with the pistons and the cylinders. VW had one of the best pancake designs.
@ja a Oh wow!! So stay away from Subaru?! Ok got it.
Scotty, great enthusiasm, thanks for all your posts.
I had a Kia Forte from 2010 to 2018. Around 100,000 miles it started to have normal problems but the kicker was the radio went out and I was ready for a new car anyway.
My family bought a 2006 Kia Sedona brand new, and we still have it. Almost 200k miles on it. So many road trips, and until last year, no issues. The issue was a coolant leak cus I did a burnout in it. But got that fixed, and my dad still drives it to work every day. I love that van.
My dad has a 10 year old Kia van. Never an issue. We have a Subaru forester. It burns almost all the oil before 3k miles.
@@ryanneedham8820 subaru is garbage yes
But still, ur driving a car with the acronym: Killed In Action
a burnout caused a coolant leak???
@@tiffanyvalencia8415 TiA would have been much better..
The Hyundais we get in Australia are delivered directly from South Korea (as are Kias). We simply do not have the problems that you bring up. Perhaps it comes down to build quality.
Ironically, the majority here in Puerto Rico come also from South Korea, even tho PR is part of US.
Especially true of German cars sold in the USA market. The cars we get are garbage compared to those sold in Germany.
The whole world treats us Americans like we're a pack of dumb suckers. I mean, they're right, but it still sucks.
100% hyundai's in australia are a great car. very underated I bought one 3 years ago for $500 and Ive thrashed the thing, it still runs so well!!!!
Yes kia and hyundais made in Korea are great cars and have a reputation above toyota in Australia. The problem maybe where the US cars are made.
Ive got a 2015 i30 runs fine, only need to service it regularly and use good oil, other than that changed the battery (seven year old car not bad)- solid reliable car cant fault it
I have 2009 V6 Loaded 2WD KIA Sportage and it has been rook solid. 130K on the Odo and I expect to get another 130k. This model was built in Korea and has mostly Highway miles. I did have the A/C compressor replaced last year but living in Florida I need it ice cold. Still looks great. With the crazy price of both new and used cars, I intend to drive this until the wheels fall off.
Thanks for sharing knowledge with us.
Buying a car nowadays costs HUGE. I appreciate Scotty's reviews because they will save us money
Yep and most of that cost are the Infotainment systems and Digital Clocks I mean I like that stuff but it does inflate the cost by a long shot
I can no loger effort to buy any car in America during these days! The price isa so high and the manufactured and parts from the 3rd worlds are garbage!
One thing I ALWAYS think when watching Scotty is: good honest mechanics are hard to find and most of all... SMART HONEST ones like him.
it's not a hybrid cause it burns gas and oil that just means it's a flex fuel that's all that means
The early 2009-2012 Kia’s are solid af! I have a 2011 that is still running today.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
This is what everyone person wants for their vehicle, an experienced mechanic who is simply upfront and honest.
My sister had it right when she first saw the Kia brand. She said, “I bet no one in the Military will ever buy a Kia.” I had to ask, “Why?” She stated, “Really? K, I, A, Killed In Action.” More truth to this than she knew. 😂😂
I am still driving my 2013 Kia Rio with 220,000 miles on it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You ride a 🐪🤭🤭😅🤣😂😆😛😝
@@halturt7046 No you
actually a state trooper friend of mine said they called in "Killed in Accident" cause when they come up to a crash involving a KIA, that is what happens...
I’ve owned 3 KIAs. Always changed the oil at 5K. Always had the 2.4 liter engine. I test drove the 2.0 liter & didn’t like it. Never had a problem with the 2.4 liter & they didn’t use any oil but never drove longer than 75K & then traded-in. The service is not as good as it used to be. Overall KIA is not that bad but could be better if they focused more on their customers. Out of the 3 vehicles I owned, one wheel sensor went bad. No other issues.
Interesting... Though Kia/Hyundai has like 3 completely different 2.4 liter engines and 2.0 engines from 2004-2015 or so. Oldest, Sirius is Mitsubishi engine. And two later, Beta (2.0) and Delta (2.4 an2.7) are solid quality engines as well.
The problematic ones are Theta models, that come in both 2.0 and 2.4 liter, and are completely new desing. Nu engine also has 2.0 variant, that's been subject to recall.
I have a 2014 Kia Soul and the engine blew last year so they gave me a new engine. Runs great so far and always use synthetic oil.
I love how the 25 year old Silverado goes rumbling by in the background at 1:00, still running strong. I have two of those!
Just by googling "Car brands with the most problems 2022" and checking several sites you will see neither Hyundai/Kia are on the bottom or top, they are mid range most of the time and some of their models rank very well actually... There are so many other car brands ranked so much lower like Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Volskwagen...
It's probably a lot faster just to list "The ONLY cars you should buy if you know what's good for you:" Probably these are Honda and Toyota.
our chryslers run super well what are you talking about.
Americans have no clue about most cars in EU. They’re on a different planet almost. What you class as one this, it’s good in another country because they have different models of that brand and have more/less available parts, and so at different prices. Not only that… Americans have huge amounts of roads… and do mote driving in certain environments than for example people in eu.
@@RadekZielinski. Precisely, plus Americans run their cars on crappy petrol and any normal European car needs what we would call "normal" petrol and Americans call "premium" gas. Also they seem obsessed about changing the oil almost after every journey (see many comments on here), rather than sticking to the manufacturers' intervals like any sane person would. Probably because they use crappy synthetic blend oil rather than proper full synthetic. Ho hum.
didn't they stop making Mitsubishi?
You really tell it like is!
Your truth is very appreciated! 😊
To be fair. I've had my 2013 kia Rio for 10 years. It started to burn oil past 180000 km. I've got almost 300000 on it now and it still goes. I'll drive it into the ground before I replace it and I feel it was a decent car for the price at the time.
My wife bought a 2018 Hyundai Sante fe a few years back it had 20k miles on it when we bought it. At 40k miles the motor was burning a quart of oil every few days so we took it to the dealer they said it was on the verge of blowing up so they put a brand new motor in it thank God for the warranty
Dealers don't tell you that GDI motors need an intake cleaning about every 15k depending on how clean you keep your oil, and combustion chamber every 40k or so depending on driving habits and oil used.
Good for you. The manufacturer delivered. Reputable company
lucky
Check the brake lights too. Kias and Hyundais are notorious for electrical problems with the taillights.
@@lonniebeal6032 you clean your oil, I gota hear this🤣
Kia and Hyundai are like the knockoff Honda and Toyota
They wanna be Toyota and Honda sooooo bad.
@@oreally8605 everybody does youd think they’d quit out sourcing all their parts the cheap route
@@oreally8605 but Hyundai are cheap
Good for budget buyers
Lol right
@@tanmay6367 Yeah buy a cheap car and then spends tons of money repairing it because it's garbage... It's better to just buy a good car that won't have issues in the first place.
You are the best, Scotty. You are so animate and so blunt and to the point.
I put 195,000 miles on a 2014 Kia Sportage. The only item that had to be repaired was the AC system, it went out at about 120K miles. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one but they don't sell a pickup!
Me with a KIA forte 2012: "oh nice lets see what are the worse car brands so I can avoid them"
Video 0:00 : *_KIA_*
😂
LMFAOOO
Hahaha
Same here with my KIA Sportage 1.6 gdi 😄😢
I have a 2010 Kia Forte Koup. I just hit 205,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. Haven’t don’t much more than routine maintenance.
I bought a Hyundai Elantra and Santa Fe, and both required total engine replacement. Insane...
Same
Yes! I also had major problems on a Hyundai and Kia ...don't get the comments of people were like mine has 200,000 miles on it no problems I think they must be 50/50 lemons and good.
Thanks for keeping it real, Scotty!
I have a KIA Optima. Had it for five years. Most trouble free car I ever had!
I have this EXACT engine, 2017 Elantra. 95.000 miles on it bought new. I change the oil every 3000 miles. Its always at the full mark before it gets changed. Its very important to all cars to follow the break in procedures in the owners manuel. Driving it hard right off the bat, can lead to an oil burner.
I have a 2013 Soul with the two liter. So far, no issues. Seems like its hit and miss.
Kinda weird, maybe i am lucky, but i have been always driving our new cars hard right after 500 kilometers. Not a single oil burner. Opel Astras (diesel and gasolines, all turbocharged) and BMW diesels (all turbocharged). Only i never drive them hard when the engine is cold.
Of course, it depends on how the car is used, but 3000 miles between oil changes sounds too often.
2017 elentra sport 65000 burns a quart every 300 miles I got rid of it and bought a civic good luck to the next owner
That's what I was thinking too.
The 7500 mi. oil change interval is the real problem here.
Right. I'm not playing no games. I have a 2022 Kia Soul LX and I got my first oil change at 3,450 miles. My next one will probably be at 7,450 miles.
what are talking about synthetic oil last 15k mobile 1
I would change the oil every 3000 miles no matter what anyone says!
@@svanp32 please change the ivt fluid every 30,000 miles my 2020 soul didn’t even have 20,000 miles when the ivt transmission went out i think it was just because of it being the first model year because the 2021 and 2022 years don’t have the issue but just warning you :)
Thank you for great tips,!
We currently have 4 replacement engines sitting in our dealership to replace these. The most mileage is 70k on all of them. We cannot get the engines shipped fast enough
it's probably burning oil partly due to auto start stop. it's a load of baloney that just wears out the engine faster and doesn't save that much gas by the time the car kicks the bucket
Auto stop start is the stupidest thing invented for general public. I was driving along, watching the stoplights and a Jeep blew past me and pulled up at the stoplight and it shut off and restated in around 2 seconds before he made a left turn.
Facts! LeXus Gs engine valve cover leaks at 30,000 miles and engine coils, spark plugs fouled out and engine blew up.
It spares enough gas to allow you to afford all the starters it'll go through.
Oil burners should consider getting the oil analyzed, it only cost about $50 and it can tell you a lot where the defects could be.
want to have fun, take 4 oil samples from the same car at the same time and send them in to the lab, more fun, use 4 different labs, see what they send you. do not tell them it's from the same car.
@@snapon1974 there is no certification agency to check the labs assay for consistency, but you can ask the lab if their gear are trace calibrated to conform to ASTM standards; the trends are more important than a single result, enjoy
Lol. Each lab's "standard" 'analyzation' process is a complete joke! Please tell me you don't pay to have your oil analyzed by these scams and then take the results seriously!!
Will it tell you if you have a stuck top ring?
My wife had a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. We bought it new in 2015 and just traded it with 127000 miles and it was the most dependable, trouble free car I’ve EVER owned. I’m 64 and have buying cars since 1975, so that’s saying a LOT. I never did anything to that little car but changed the oil and it was still getting high 30s gas mileage when we traded it last week.
My daughter engine in her Kia blew, took it to Red Rocks Kia and they warranted the engine and replaced the engine free of charge. She bought the car used and the recall covered it.
As a KIA EV6 owner I actually like that Scotty calls them out to keep them honest
I wish he would call them out you’re literally able to start your car with an iPhone charger
@@dg7848 What Scotty says while at the first of openning each video .... your engine ?
I want an ev6! I have a 2017 cadenza
You really think kia cares what scotty says in his videos? lol
This dude is just flexing
I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. It has that startup sound on the engine where the timing chain is tapping on startup. It also had a transmission sensor done at 45k miles. It currently has 175k miles. Thise two issues while very serious, have been the only issues. The car has been dependable, but you never know if that chain is gonna snap. All regular maintenance has been performed. Essentially, Im a reluctant recommender of thr Hyundai.
Twister reference when I'm opening the hood. "And inside, we got hundreds of these little sensors" ~gets angry Bill Paxton face and starts walking toward the designer~
Really enjoyed the video, I liked how you actually went in detail in showing the specific issues with the cars.
I wonder what neighbors first think when they see Scotty out front of his house gyrating wildly with his arms. I could foresee a little kid saying, “Mom, that man is out there flapping his arms again!” 😅
A little excited aren't you, Christ!
I like to listen to him if he doesn't keep on flapping his arms. Too irritating to watch. But, I learn a lot from him.
@@espinahumbert Italy entered the chat.
I'm 41 and just getting into self-repair. You are an outstanding TH-camr. You carry on the torch lit by The Tappet Brothers, and I believe I say without exaggerating
I just bought a Kia Soul used. So far I love it. I owned two Ford Festivas made by KIA in the 80s and loved them, too.
I just have to say that the one thing I love more than Scotty's knowledge about cars, is his humor. I just love the subtlety of the fact that when he said junkyard Chevrolet popped up in the background at 20:51 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeeps seems to be on the "Do No Buy" list from Consumer Reports and J.D Powers list year after year for poor reliabilty. But they still sell well. It's the adventure outdoorsy image they project I guess. One thing I do like is the high ground clearance that some of them have.
Live in the uk. Don’t even have a car yet but I love watching this guy vent 😂😂 (plus I learn some😅)
This guy would be talking to the wall if cameras didn’t exist
Hah!
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG you are so right about Jeep. I had a 2005 Grand Cherokee and so many things were wrong with it I told the guy I sold it to that I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention some of it because there is just too much wrong with it to remember. His brother apparently liked to rebuild Jeeps so good luck to that guy! Also one morning at about 1am I randomly lost all exterior lights. It happened once and never happened again thankfully.
Holy crap that’s scary. Glad they turned back on
It is so great that Scotty shares his knowledge and know-how. More honest knowing people for the people, such a great man.
Except all manufacturers have this issue, not just these 3
@@masterenos manufactured with poor quality parts make no differents with same issue!
the animal pictures make this video 10x better, i love your videos gonna buy a ford focus, my first car since my training car (i'm 31 atm) got my license last year, soooo been bombarding all your videos! thank you for the content! - Sweden
Scotty reminds me of the neighbor that starts talking to you about random stuff when you went to check the mail and stopped to say hi to him. 2 hours later hes talking about burning oil
The most reliable vehicle I've ever owned was a 2008 Kia Sportage. Bought it used in 2012 with 112k miles. Drove it until last week when it was totaled in an accident with over 200k miles. In ten years I had to replace a battery and put on new brake pads...that's it.
Not even new tires?
As a new viewer, I’ve never seen someone so excited and animated about what they are talking about! Had to sub immediately🔥
Love your honesty, Scotty. Don't ever change.
On jeeps, the unified power module tends to have bad terminal mounting. It may look like each component is properly plugged in ... but internal terminals often slip downward and barely touch the spade lugs of "plugged-in" components. Intermittent and/or high resistance connections result and are hard to locate and correct. Check the back side of the module for wiring terminals that are not snug on the relevant component lugs.
I thought the squirrels in the background came out of the KIA engine. LOL
omg hahaha
Scotty you are the best, more mechanics should be honest like you. Most dealers are rip offs. Corporate greed at it's best!
That’s where you tell them I want all the old parts. I’d also bet your scanner might able to read board part and serial numbers from what’s in the transmission. Then you either let them know beforehand or tell them after that the board serial number better be different.
Yep! Had a Kia and it burned oil. Fortunately I got in a wreck at 40k miles and totalled the car before anything "serious" happened.
I've never owned a Kia or Hyundai so I can't say from personal experience but for me Dodge/Chrysler is the worst so I'm not surprised Jeep is in this list. When AMC owned Jeep they were solid but when Chrysler got them they started that downhill slide.
true. i own a fca jeep compass from 2020. total junk
2095 Dakota with 312000 miles on the ticker
Worked auto body for a AMC / JEEP dlr 76 - 79 and DANG they were tanks ..Had a 74 Wagoneer 350v8 buick ,lifted,tires, and would climb mountains .. The v8 idoling in low range would crawl 2mph and go over huge stumps ,ricks,boulders..Only thing was they would rust out fast but tough then
Nonsense.
My 2008 Dodge Magnum runs very well. Tires, brake pads, serpentine belt, rotors, a battery and coil have been replaced. That’s it. It has been a nice car…
Love your videos Scotty! Stay strong and happy.
I have a 2013 Kia Soul 2.0. with 134,000 miles and still runs superbly, i have done brakes twice, of course Oil Changes at Jiffy Lube, Synthetic Blend....just replaced PCV value and Tires of course, Tune up, Plugs replaced 3 times, Manifold Sensor, Camshaft Sensor and Crankshaft Sensor... Only disappointment was waiting 6 1/2 months for my Engine Control Module, ECM ! Back ordered ! Finally came and it runs beautiful.. Went to the California coast 4 times and Mountains 5 times since... Cross our fingers, everything's good to go !!! Your the BEST !
Scotty quote of the day: "You gotta replace the whole effing thing"
Scotty is my spirit animal...
First time I’ve seen that. That’s how to keep is bad
He is so great lol
Keep the cars you got don't listen t👀the crazy green deal nutts 🤤🤤🤤
Bro... I love you, Scotty! Thanks for these so awesome videos, and your editor and camera and all your family.
Thank you for sharing
Hey Scotty, I have car problems when taken to a Dealer. When I change oil at 3 or 4K I get over 250k miles out of each cars. Good Advice you give.
Had a 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid and absolutely loved it! No issues at all!
Cars are always good for a suprise. I live in Germany where most people have a different view on cars as Scotty or Americans have. But Toyota is seen as a reliable brand here as well. But for decades most Germans thought their brands were the best in the world, while american were unreliable gashogs. Well some are this way.
I was the first one in our familiy, in fact the whole street, maybe the whole village, who bought an american car in the 90s. It was a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced in the US but for europeuan market. And turbocharged Diesels were very popular these days. So it had a 2.5 Litre 115 HP turbo diesel from VM (italian motor company) which suprisingly had the same torque as the usual 4.0 litre six cylinder gas.
I bought the Jeep in 1999 and drove it for 21 years. Finally the turbocharger broke down. I sold it, because diesel engines are now very expensive (680 Euro tax per year!) and it was not easy in the last years to get spare parts.
I will never forget this go-anywhere american masterpiece. I drove it from Germany to the Trollstigen pass, from north to south Germany, used it for chopped wood, plaster stones, moving...
All my friends bought 2 or 3 different cars (mostly German brands) in that time, as the cars broke down or make them unsatisfied. Even our family Mercedes Benz did not survived 19 years.
That Jeep never burned oil.
Xjs are great jeeps!
Sehr gut. You got a solid machine.
