I don't have a Rolls Royce, I can't afford such a car, I understood 98% of what you said, I don't know what I'm doing here, but I watched the whole video because it's great listening to you. I liked most the story with the table in the restaurant and about what people think of you when you pull up somewhere with that car. I wish you a lot of health and even more fun driving this beautiful car. Greetings from Poland, EU.
I had a very British mechanic once tell me about a leak in a Crewe-built RR "If it's British and it doesn't leak, it's because it's out" This was on a 75 Silver Shadow, however I later owned an 88 Silver Spur and, lo and behold, it never leaked a drop! So I guess they figured something out! (the Spur just had to eat up steering racks...) The British-built RR's as old as they are, are much easier to work on and to me, at least, look and drive wonderfully. They are also much easier to buy and self-maintain.
I have to agree with this statement. I once looked under an RR used by British High Commissioner, the driver was my friend. The car was leaking oil from just about every assembly under the car. I just couldn’t believe it. Just a heap of junk.
I've had that oil fill funnel for a couple years and absolutely love it . Works on all 4 of my cars , no messy spills . Rock on Bob
Hi Bob
New to your channel and I’m looking at potentially buying one of these as a retirement present to myself in a few years time. Your videos have been invaluable to me in getting to know the real deal that’s involved in owning and running one of these beauties. It’s not something to be undertaken likely that’s for sure.
I’m in uk but fly to Vegas / LA often. Love the content of everything g you do. Keep it coming.
I don't know how I got to your video. I don't even own a rolls. But I finished your video because of how well you spoke and the humble point of view of owning one
I don't know why TH-cam pushes these particular videos, but when I do anything with the RR, it gets pushed out. This is the 4th RR oil video I have done.
Please, never fix new gaskets without a finger of new oil on it !!!
Love your no bullshit attitude 👍
Thankyou Bob for sticking up for us Brits regarding the Rolls Royce....as a car nut it annoys me when people say it is a BMW.....
it is
@@jlaudio8544 Why is it not wearing a BMW badge then....In that case a Bugatti Veyron is just a Volkswagen in a posh frock
Good storyteller, a wise man and funny as well!
Old school pit, pretty cool. Love the commentary, don't ever change 👍🏽
I remember walking past a RR Dealer showroom back in the 70's or 80's in the Philadelphia area and was surprised when I spotted oil drip pans underneath all of the showroom cars. I thought, this can't be that these cars drip oil like most cars did back then but costing a fraction of the price. I had a 1978 BMW 733i that leaked all from day one until I sold it 10 years later. I did all my own service and still do but I could never fix the problem.
Respect for working on your own rolls Royce!
Costco oil is made by Warren Distribution. They also make Walmart's Supertech. It's a group 3 hydrocracked dino oil but still clasified as a synthetic (thanks BP Castrol) and the base stocks they buy are only made by three big oil companies. Warren of course buys it in train tankers and then they blend in the aditives, which are also supplied by four companies. Accourding to the lab results I've seen, it is decent oil.
Hey Bob discovered you from GIV video, really enjoying your videos bud. Keep up the great work that you do!!!
Bob you are a brave man to work on this monster. Greetings from a German RR and Jaaag addict.
I agree about the TORQUEING things EXACT and what not.. I agree SOME things need it like engine internals and such. But I have been doing cars for ages and never torque stuff unless its intricate things. I never have had any issues.
Bob, I love the videos, especially on the upkeep on these types of cars.
I remember visiting Vegas back in 2008 and seeing the Towbin Dodge late night commercials where they all dressed up and did wacky things to sell cars. Long live Blue Genie!
Rolex is a tool watch that is meant to be used i am glad to see you working in it. I wear mine everyday no matter what I am doing. I love how informative your videos are.
Very interesting on your maintenance of the rolls 😊
A while back my sister's father-in-law wanted to do some general mainternance on his '82 RR.. SInce there is no RR dealer in Jordan, he shipped the car all the way to Kuwait (the RR dealer in Kuwait is renowned to be one of the best RR dealers in the world.) Two months later, the service bill came back.. $70,000.. No joke 😮
One of the best tools you can buy is a torque wrench
Always surprised the amount of mechanics that over tighten the crap
Out of oil filters,drain plugs and carburettor bolts snap just why is beyond me
Enjoyed the Video, a little tip, whenever I carry out an Oil change I use a large calibrated Jug, and put the exact amount of oil into the engine, because the contents of the sealed container may only be approximate, meaning more or less the amount stated . . .
Yes! I do the same thing! You could measure what drains out and put that amount back in.
Please make the video for the suspension work. Love the vids
Hey I'm from the UK and grew up n the 70s and 80s. After leaving school I worked in stores departments of car dealerships first in 84 datsun then skoda followed by good old British Austin rover. We had one car that was called the rover 213 and 216 they were actually Honda I think if I remember correctly preludes. I only found this out as we had a shelf of Honda oil filters and I asked why do Austin Rover stores have Honda oil filters.
you're a straight flyer Bob, say it how it is, im in the UK,I previously had a Rolls series 1 a few years back, but sold it, and was looking at the phantom, but I think a series 2 will probably be my next purchase, if you pay 25 to 30k GBP you get a lot of car for the money, and luckily a few garages in UK will service and look after them . plus Intracar and flying spares are good backup as well, but thanks for proving that even the newer stuff is workable if you take your time. Great videos by the way, very enjoyable, ATB
Introcar. Just saying
There were two people who lived very close to me in San Diego, which had garages full of old RRs. One even had a 1928 built here in the US.
If I remember right, they built some here for two years somewhere down east.
My e320 mercedes held eight literes of oil. I always used LiquiMoly on it and other cars I had over the last 20 or more years.
It does get quite hot here in Vegas, but I've never had a problem with any of my cars due to the heat.
Take care, Bob.
What happens if you would have drove around with 10L of oil in the phantom?
Hey that was very nice of you to give GIV the grand tour I bet he really appreciated it.
Next oil change replace that standard oil drain plug with a Fumoto Quick valve. No mess. Just flip a lever. If you overfill, just open the value to drain out the overfill. Oil comes out in a neat 3/16th stream. Close with no dripping.
There’s no room, the sway bar is in the way.
@fiehlsport They do make a model where the head rotates anywhere around a 360 degree circle at a 90 degree angle and then you tighten it down at the desired position. It's quite a bit lower profile. I had the same problem on '23 Ram Hemi. I put the 90 degree lower profile one on, and now it works great.
@@garymeyer3294 that’s cool but the drain plug is literally an inch away from the sway bar. You can’t even get a straight shot on it with a socket. Nothing other than the plug will fit.
This guy is great! I like the comment about the lunch lady. All his points are spot on.
While I agree with your statement about Rolls, I find it absolutely hilarious that you called Jay Leno's beloved McLaren a "douchebag car." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Bob great video appreciate you being honest and sincere . Please discuss some of the refinements and opulence of the car
Love these vehicles! Thank you for the excellent content!
Say what you want about the guys at Jiffy Lube, but they wouldn't have overfilled the oil by 1.5 liters. And good oil don't need no snakes added to it.
Good show thank you for being real, and fixing your mistake,
Bob, I suggest you do an oil and gas change for the Aircon.
Can't remember if you ever did it. It's worth doing. How do I know. Had a seized Aircon.
Won't ever go that route of not servicing the Aircon once a year.
So much more than an oil change, life lessons from Video Bob.
I change the oil in my BMW 760LI for over 10 years with no issues l saved a lot money.
these videos are the best commontary source of telling it like it is, plain and simple truth more entertaining than those other you tubers,
Much love always sending positive vibes brother bob have blessed weekend and friday to
Thank you Bob for posting a great segment it's always enjoyable watching and listening to you
Love the vids and also reading the comment commandoes telling you youre doing it wrong.
You're a trip Bob. I like your outright I don't give a shit speaking on things and about people's comments. Lol. Been watching videos for a couple yrs now. You'd be cool to hang with. Keep up the good work. How's the red pool doing?
12:58 you could say the very same thing about rolex/omega. I bought my first real watch 5 years ago (was a omega speedmaster) and I love it too bits. However it doesnt look all that different from one from 1996. I wouldnt want it to change but the example is there :)
Cool video, I have done my oil changes myself also. Got one of those handy dandy electric 12v suck oli pump, take dip stick or just cap off and insert suck pipe. Start pump and get oil away and change filter. In most Mercedes you don't have to go under the car at all. Quick and clean.
I looked up the stabilizer bar prices 😱. $3,200. That’s almost what I paid for my 1997 GMC truck lol
I really enjoyed the video 👍
Found them on eBay for $700 for the pair
Take the z max empty container and use it as a funnel. ''
I have never had the privilege of riding in a Rolls-Royce although I have always wanted to. There is not a another vehicle that comes anywhere close to being like a Rolls-Royce why do you think that people when they want to say that something is absolutely the best it could be they say that it is the Rolls-Royce. They are beautiful automobiles they are crafted they are not built.
Hi Bob, im from England really like your video about the Roll's Royce, liked and subscribed , Man i could listen to you all day 👍
You crack me up and when you spoke about the 2 women,, LOL.. Great, same equipment.. OMG.. When I saw you put that last bottle in, I was saying to myself, that might to much.. LOL.. You never disappoint.
😂😂
Bob, you are hilarious! Enjoyed it very much.
Just found this channel. Loving the chat, wisdom and stories whilst you're working. Great!!!
10:11 my snap on 3/8ths long handle works great for oil drain plug removals.
I have read the comments on here and there is quite a lot of negativity surrounding RR motors. I suspect this stems from the lack of ownership or experience of running one of these marques. The experience of ownership will almost certainly 'come at a price' but so does having children. Nonetheless, if you are ever in the position to buy *and* run a RR you won't be disappointed with the experience. They are truly magnificent automobiles.
My Ford takes 4 quarts
I buy oil in a 5 quart jug
I use a sharpie to highlight the marks on the side of the jug
I guy you haul out the oil catch can after you're done because of the weight and hauling it up the ladder
ah Bob finally somebody with sense. It drives me bonkers the keyboard warriors saying it's a BMW. Same happens with JLR products. Just shows how ignorant and maybe jealous these people are. It's a Roller and you, having owned them, should know. Thanks for putting the ignorant fools in their place. :)
To all labor critics: there aren't a lot of guys that can work on these cars in the first place!
@3.35 That is an excellent british northern accent! Midlands if i'm not mistaken,someone can tell me if i'm wrong as i'm from down south near London or "Darn sarf" as we southerners say. Much love over the pond .
British would call those bushings , knackered . I believe !
I use ceratec on my phantom
ZF6HP transmission. So many cars used this great unit from Hyundai, BMW, Jaguar, Aston etc. Excellent gearbox.
Rolls Royces dont break down....they just fail to procced...this has stuck with me when I heard it from a Rolls Royce technician say it 30 year ago or more....lol
It's hasn't got an electrical fault. It's being conservative with it's power applications.
Same with Lotus (before China buy out) I owned the Evora and exige and people would say oh that’s a Toyota Camry engine. Sigh, but what idiots don’t get is that lotus virtually rebuild them to be high performance reliable versions. It’s pathetic just how ignorant some people can be.
Thanks for sharing! Much appreciative! My perspective of Goodyear run flats is that I hate them. Different car, but I own a 2001 Chrysler Prowler. The Goodyear run flats were factory and they only lasted 35,000 miles! Ride quality was rougher with them as well. Put Toyo Proxies for the 17" up front and 20" tires out back. Night and day difference! Car drives so much smoother and less wear on the suspension. Those continental tires for the Rolls Royce, you might get an even smoother ride down the road or a noticeable difference between the tires. If you do put Continental's on there, maybe from your perspective, make a video the pros and cons of each tire after driving on both of them. Another reason why you won't see a Rolls Royce dealership work on for example, a 1967 Silver Shadow is that they are actually more complicated to work on vs. a modern one. Rolls Royce's are designed for elegance and comfort especially for the passenger in the back seat. Brakes hydraulic system looks complicated in my opinion, but there is a reason for that. When the chauffer gently applies the brakes, he is actually coming to a gradual stop, so much so, the rear passenger doesn't notice they are stopped unless looking outside the window. You could rip all that out and put in a proportional valve and replumb new brake lines, but then again, your not getting the Rolls Royce feel of the car. Your rear passenger's body is moving forward when coming to a stop and that is a no no.
Its almost seen as geeky to adhere manufacturer torque settings for every nut and bolt. Where gaskets are involved it's wise to stick to to the rule if only to prevent having to do a job twice, also to avert the risk of damage. I witnessed the previous night prior to watching this video seeing a Phantom with black over white exterior paintwork pull up out of nowhere parked to let someone out before doing a u-turn and disappear into the night. Those viewing seconds made the realisation credible, that this is one vehicle with sensational, remarkable presence and drama, without the need for a backdrop red carpet spectacle to consolidate it's existence.
It's true, seeing one of these is being in the presence of greatness. Hell, I own and drive one and when I see another one in the wild even I get excited about it.
It's like seeing royalty.
The haters who talk smack have never been in one or maybe even seen one in real life and have certainly never driven one.
The first time I drove one, the first one I bought, it was like being in a truck, that floated on a cloud.
It was really intimidating at first but then became like sitting on a coach and looking at an IMAX screen. It was surreal.
Tobin is in some serious shit from the sounds of it from TK’s Garage on here.. He’s been going after them pretty hard the past week or 2.. Stay blessed @VideoBob !! Don’t let your meat loaf !!
Would it be possible to install a Fumoto drain vale on that pan? that might save a lot of mess.
lol was counting the bottles, and was like did he just put 10 litres in? that cant be right :D
I own a 2022 phantom ,, personally i think rolls Royce dealership here in the uk give good value for money on aftercare,, not as expensive as people automatically think
Hey Bob, what is that oil additive that you used? I heard you mention it before but forgot where it was mentioned.
Love your Rolls Royce videos Bob. 👍
Any experience with Jaguar XJ6 series 3 (1980-1987)? Love my two.
My uncle left me a 2022 Bentley Continental GTC Azure V8 AWD when he passed away but I did not accept his great gift just because the expense of insurance coverage plus property tax and the cost of just maintaining the car. He would have Bentley service men come to his house to do the maintenance on the vehicle. I drove it once and it is a dream car to drive especially with the convertible top down. For now my cousin is going to keep the car. But driving this car in St.Louis where I live would stand out too much. The car has 1700 miles on it. Great Video
You should’ve just taken ownership and sold it and put the money in your account!
Is difficult to find a person who understands the value of the parts of car… good job… good way to understand luxury and richness… and as final touch work with watch lovely…
How long does it really take to set a clicker torque wrench to 25 N-m? If you consider the time and expense of pulling the oil pan, it's a step worth taking.
Run the car, make sure the oil light goes off then Re-check the oil
Nice too see they owner doing there service 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧Manchester England 🇬🇧
You have a really cool setup and garage over there.
Hey rob! This car takes 8.5 liters of engine oil FYI. Great vid and great talk.
Nevermind it’s in the title lol you got it boss 😂
Thanks for great video... With the oil... can you get exact same mix from Castrol etc or would other brand oils be only similar? Would you buy the parts you need from Flying Spares or IntroCar or can you just get from BMW like the Bentley guys get parts from Audi / VW?
since its a german engine, it has to be guten tight.
Bob thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge on all things cool. Your content rules. Getcha Pull. Van Halen.
How you doing Bob.
Don't overfill the washer fluid because if it freezes it could Crack the bottle or buy the purple stuff.
dude, I am in Las Vegas. This shit ain't freezing.
Hey Bob, I have to say that British accent you did was actually pretty damn good for an American. Usually you guys all sound the same trying to sound British. 🤣👍
Love your no nonsense attitude, tell me how it is 🤣🤣👍
DC Cab was one of my favorite movies!!!
They Are Glorious ❤
I could press them darn bushings Bob, 5 bucks n a bottle of moonshine 😂❤
Idk why, but most of your automobiles of the last few years have gone to this cartridge type of oil filter, it’s a pain in the ass, and it causes a needless mess. BTW, Shell makes the motor oil for Rolls Royce. Like Lexus Oil is a rebranded Mobil One. Now, let me say that those oils are intended to be used in those particular cars, and they use formulas to the specifications of those cars. Zinc, or whatever.
My opinion is Amzoil is the superior oil, but that’s my opinion, I’m not saying I’m right, just what I use.
Bob could you not put a fish net stocking over the funnel just in case the bolt did drop just a thought as always take care stay safe all xx from London ✌️
forget what other people say you got life figured out pretty well i would say
Incredible video thanks a lot
Love how people think your being negative but really your just saying 😂
I remember that video
Sounds like Rolls Royce has some engineering issues .... meaning the suspension components are under engineered.... They do have predictable ride and driving pleasure... There is only one car like a Rolls and that's a Rolls...
The normal heavy duty suspension needed for a 6K vehicle is different to make it soft and it breaks down and needs to be changed every 10 years or so.
What scanner do you recommend for older jaguars? I have a 98 Vanden plas and my Icarsoft’s lr v1.0 doesn’t work on it at all, but it works great on my s type.
Beautiful oil and filter change
Love this❤️
