Scotty idk what I would do without you.
I will be making my kids watch all your videos so they can fix their own cars
When chinese Ev's get into US market, (if they can)we will see, if you are right éh?
I got pulled over for speeding and the cop said "Why you speeding". I said "Scotty K told me I needed an eyetalian tune up". Cop said "I'm a Scotty K fan to... but your still getting this ticket!" 😂😂😂😂
Just downshift until you can’t no more while maintaining speed limit
Send the ticket to Scotty for reimbursement
Please tell me you're not joking 😂😂😂
It's a shame that YT won't even let you even say "Italian"...
@@Xpired_PCPit won’t?
Oil change intervals increasing isn't being done in the interest of maximizing engine health. It's meant to maximize selling you new engines.
Also to minimize costs to business that lease cars new cars for no more than 3 years (e.g. rental companies).
i agree in sells you dont want your product to last forever i mean you have to be able to sell next year models. all about money.
These oil change intervals remind me of the Briggs and Stratton mower engines that they advertise as no oil change!
10,000 miles on a naturally aspirated oil is bad, but on a turbo motor, it is absolutely terrible!!
Depends on highway versus city use. 10K Miles shouldn't be a problem with a lot of highway use. Unless, of course, you live in Germany (Autobahn, no speed limit).
I checked the maintenance schedule for a 24 Jetta on the VW corporate site. Sure enough, it only calls for oil changes at the first 10K, then at 20k intervals after that. The schedule still calls for trips to the shop every 10K, but only for "inspections", including checking the oil. Given the EA211s appetite for oil, every one of those 10K "inspections" will result in a charge for one, or two, quarts of oil. But topping up the oil will not get rid of the blowby and condensation accumulating in the pan.
Yes I beat my cars and go high speed.the oil looks cooked after a few thousand miles and it's synthetic lol@@stefan2796
Where is your evidence? Just spouting the words of others who also are just running their mouths?
I’m surprised only 50% want out from the crap EVs traditional automakers offer.
87% of Tesla owners will buy another.
I had an uneventful comfortable 220 miles in my Model Y yesterday, no stops to charge. Haven’t used a public charger in many years.
5,000 miles is reasonable, won’t break the bank, and ensure that you will protect your engine! Don’t be cheap people and just do it.
At around 4500 miles I'll start checking Walmart for sales and the Mobil 1 site for discount coupons. I've paid a slow as $20 for Mobil 1 oil a filter.
Absolutely.
⁹[[[[[[[[[ko[[[[[[[[[[]]][]]]99@@nucleargrizzly1776
@@nucleargrizzly1776I’ve heard that Super Tech is actually Mobile 1. Run full synthetic and change every 5000 to 7000 miles
My saying is if you are changing full synthetic at 5,000 miles, then you are using a cheap oil. Most newer cars can go at least 7,500 miles on oil under normal use and still ok.
Got a friend who he and his wife just bought new Toyota Hylander for him, and a Venza for his wife. He took vehicles back to the dealer where he purchased, and they refused to change his oil at 5,000 miles. Told him to come back at 10,000. Insane! 😢
Same here. Toyota told me my 2023 Camry hybrid needs oil changed at 10000 intervals. Changing every 5000 myself. 30000 vehicle oil cheap engines expensive.
Insane that he went to a dealer for anything.
Took my NX250 Lexus in for first oil and filter change at 1200 miles. Lexus didn’t blink an eye and accommodated me. One year later at 2800 miles (I didn’t drive much) Lexus changed the oil and filter without any hassle. Shop around as there are many places that will gladly take your money!
10k mi is pretty standard guidance from all the OEMs for the last 10+ years, especially since they've mostly moved to full synthetic. Toyota had an issue at first with their 2.4L engine from 2008-2014 when using those 10k oil intervals, but they solved it - it was a piston design flaw.
False information they want the money and don't refuse you an oil change.
I change the oil every 4,500 miles, never go past 5,000. Mt honda is pushing 15 years with the original engine 183,000 miles down, hoping for 300,000 miles more
We had 2010 toyota corolla over 300,000 and we donated it to our cousins and it’s still running! Only had major repairs twice in the whole lifetime that was just a little over $400! Pure gold!
My five years old Toyota already has logged in 150k miles now.👍
Same here! I just bought a used '06 corolla, and the first thing I did after I got it home was run a flush through the crankcase(dynamic engine restoration system by BG) And it cleared out all the sludge & neglect it accumulated from the neglect from previous owners. After a major tune up, and changing all the other fluids, it runs like new again
I bought my 2014 Honda CR-V a couple years ago, change the oil every 5K, 215K miles on it, runs like a new one, no issues. I baby it, and hope to get 200K more, lol
You guys are lucky. I’m about to get my engine rebuilt. Always used mobil 1 synthetic for 13 years. Lifters make lots of noise and oil pump will eventually fail. I get low oil pressure warning. I got lifters ready to go and oil pump and a few other parts. Didn’t buy camshaft and some other things until the mechanic tells me what I need. Transmission works fine. Might get it rebuilt too soon. So I can fix the paint and focus on the outside. Thinking Of adding new carpet and Leather seats too.
Car companies don't tell me what to do I'm already married 😆

"Put the charging stations in the low income areas (where they cant afford electric cars) so the poor can rob the rich." Scotty is one of the most honest guys online.
VW has been advertising how little maintenance their cars require. Reminds me of the 70s, when automakers were saying change the oil at 7500, but only change the filter every 15,000, with the mineral oils used at that time, and also bragging about how little maintenance their cars required. The EA211 engine in the Jetta likes to burn oil, from new. I have seen several owner's comments about their oil light coming on, at 7-8,000 miles, because the engine has burned off so much of the oil. Complaints to VW draw a response of "don't you check your oil every time you gas up, like the owner's manual says?" VW has also doubled the fluid change interval for their automatic transmissions, from 40,000 to 80,000 miles. They clearly expect all their customers to lease, so they walk way from the car before the lack of maintenance catches up with it, and they don't care what the second owner's experience with the car is.
Its funny how few VWs you see on used car lots. It's probably due to them not being resellable, due to poor maintenance...
They want people to buy EVs soon. Smart people won't give up their ICE cars voluntarily, so the ones introduced since 2012 have each been shorter lived than the ones they replaced.
bought a 2021 Tiguan, it's almost 4 years now and never had any issues except for a software update recall ..
Back in 1973, I was 18, bought my first car, a ‘67 VW for $400. I thought a VW never needed oil so the young gal I was, I didn’t do a thing to that car but put .28 a gallon gas into it. Four months down the road, it broke down on the bridge going over the Cumberland River near downtown Nashville where I lived. A nice trucker picked me up and dropped me off at the Interstate ramp near my apt. I called a wrecker, had it towed to the VW Dealership. Threw a rod is what they said due to no oil. It was no water it needed…mixed that one up! Boy, did I learn an automotive lesson and survived a ride with a complete stranger…wouldn’t trust that to happen today.
@@richki.24 the Tiguan uses the EA888. One generation was notorious for oil consumption. Another generation was notorious for timing chain failures. The third generation, which has been used the last several years, seems to have those issues sorted out. The Gen 3 EA888 still has some water pump issues. A friend of mine with a 2016 Golf had to replace his water pump, but then the car had about 150K on it at the time, so he wasn't upset about the failure.
You didn't say how many miles your 2021 has on it. You also did not say how often you have the oil and transmission fluid changed. The maintenance schedule for that year Tiguan is the same 10k, then 20k oil change intervals as the 2024 Jetta EA211.
Automobiles could be built to last 100+ years and millions of miles with minimal maintenance expense, but that would be really bad for businesses and tax revenue.
I have a 1992 toyota pickup that Ive owned for 20 years and 260k miles. Changed the oil between 3000 to 4000 and it uses less than a quart( about 24oz) between changes. Changing oil is the cheapest and best regular maintenance you can do. It prevents so many other problems.
With that oil change schedule you won’t have to worry for long…it will be locked up around 60,000.
It won't lock up, but it'll definitely start burning oil by 120k
Yep
Nothing that a 94 Celica won't take care of. Thank God I listened to Scotty five years ago and bought one. ❤
KTM motorcycles above 700cc recommend going 9300 miles between oil changes. Note: they do require their specific synthetic oil. We recommend changing the engine oil on any motorcycle between 4500 and 5000 miles. You are correct, oil gets dirty from the intake, fuel contamination, air filter leakage, contaminants in the fuel, carbon sludge, and water from condensation build-up from taking short trips. We tell our customers to check the oil view window weekly. If gets low or dirty, it's time to have an oil change. Maybe cars should have a view window for their oil...
or a dipstick
Ktm just like Harley don’t make oil 😂 it’s all the same basically. Exxon makes all the oil
Scotty is spitting facts! Bought an old used car last year and it has been leaking oil ever since. I just top it up every so often and it hasn't blown up so far.
Had a 1992 Ford Aerostar. Changed oil every 3500 to 4000 miles. Had 640000 miles on it when my son was involved in an accident and it was totaled. Lucky for him, it was not his fault.
I just went on the VW website. I looked up the maintenance schedule for a 2024 Jetta. It's true! they recommend 10,000 then every 20,000!
10,000 miles is quite ridiculous. 😮
If you do almost all highway with a newer vehicle at reasonable speeds, it's not unreasonable to go 10,000 miles. Always follow recommendations from the manufacturer and split the difference like I do at 7,500-8,000 miles.
I use 25,000 mi rated oil, and still change it every 5,000.
Not ridiculous at all if using full synthetic oil - and almost all new cars require full synthetic
Same here, I just bought a new Audi and the first Oil change service is 17,000 miles or 2 years !! That is not happening in a million years.
I go 3,000 full synthetic 5w20 in my car and had over 302,000 mile never problem not oil burn not oil leak keep change you oil over 5,000 you will see valve cover gaskets leaking rear main seal leak but old edition don’t break you engine
I'd take your 3,000 mile oil and put another 5,000 on it, if you don't mind 🤷🏽♂️🙂
Sorry but that doesn't prove you made it last longer.
i just learned on youtube university...there is no such thing as full synthetic its a merketing scheme that makes folks feel better....look it up. just get sybthetic blend for 5 or 10k
That’s easy for you to say
I agree with you totally, I got 2013 Chevrolet impala I got full synthetic, always changed oil around 3,000
5000 without fail. FULL SYNTHETIC EVERY TIME.
I bought a new vehicle and changed the oil for first change at 1800 miles. Then every 5000 after that. Too often? I would rather err on the conservative side. Oil and filters are inexpensive.
i do the same even with a lawn mower change after the first 2 hours
Yeah...I bought a GR Corolla in December and did my first change at 1200 miles, then 5k next. Probably going to go with 3500-4000 miles between changes because of how high strung this engine is.
Bought a 24 ranger. I was planning ontowing a 6x12 trailer. But before i could i looked at the manual. I don't remember how many miles i needed to break in before my first tow.i think 3k and then do an oil change. The dealership kept telling me i didn't need to do it. I'm like the manual says it is happening. Last thing i need is to void the warranty. They claimed it wouldn't but hey I'm gonna always play it safe

Charging stations in general are a perfect spot for a robbery to take place at and much more in a low income area.
Official dealerships are perfects spots for robbery...they love to vacuum clean your wallet.
They're also a prime target for copper thieves - they'll walk away with maybe $3000 of copper and then the charger company has to spend 10-100x that to replace it!
Ding dong go to a safe location.
Any evidence to support this?🤔
@@Rob774 Evidence: The thousands of hours of video recordings of gas station robberies freely available on the Internet, multiplied by 6, because recharging at a Tesla Supercharger takes 30 minutes instead of 5.
Combine that with the fact that there's no gasoline coming out of a pump right in front of you which you could spray an approaching attacker with, and the fact that EV chargers are now designed to hold tightly onto the charge port to prevent Karens from unplugging you, so now if you try to lock yourself in your car while charging and then criminals show up, you are stuck there, because there's no emergency release and so you can't drive away while it is still plugged in because you will destroy your whole car.
Mc Do nalds don’t change their oil too. They go 50,000 fries before changing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Scotty they are putting the charging stations in the low income areas for the thieves to charge up the ones they steal 🤣
Or steel the chargeing cable
8:52 They are towing Ford Lightning trucks with GASOLINE Tow Trucks 😂. Cuz, the combustion engine won't leave you stranded.
@scottykilmer, according to the tire industry & independent testing including Car & Driver mag test. The new tires ALWAYS go on the rear EVEN in a front wheel drive car because when it comes to lift/hydroplaning the rear lifts and it’s over! But if the rear grips and stays planted it’s easier to control the vehicle. 🎉
It was recommended that you had your first oil change at 500 miles on cars built in the 60s, 70s, and even into the 80s. There would be some small metal shavings that would be in the engine from the manufacturing process that would collect in the oil filter. It could take two or more oil changes at that interval to completely get them out of there.
Royal Enfield motorcycles still require that and a valve adjustment at 500 miles at the dealer ($550) or they void your warranty. Old school manufacturing there.
Modern motors don't typically need that. Clearances are tight, precise, consistent and torqued fasteners are also consistent.
The 3000 mile oil change is 1930s US logic....based on Model As and Chevys that used oil to clean the engine and clump up (non detergent) getting the swarthy out of the engine. No oil filters either.
Not to mention the new thick as water viscosity of the oil after thousands of miles has less lubricity than needed to support longevity.
A New York City cab driver told me that he changed the oil every weekend. Something to think about. Changing the oil every 20k miles is absurd!
That makes sense. When I was a courier, I averaged 100-150mi./day. I usually ended up changing the oil every 4-6wks., But with 267k mi., my car still doesn't burn or leak oil just b/c i stayed on top on the fluid change intervals. esp. the oil & ATF
That guy also had many engine miles due to idling in traffic. He was probably getting 3,000 miles on his engine, but no his odometer weekly.
I worked courier jobs for a couple of companies 7500 mile oil changed conventional oil and this was 10!years ago
One sold off Ford Ranger with 236000 miles run well some life left in them Other has Rangers and Ford Vans go past 300000. With results like that they must be doing something right
All the chat about oil changes is very boring you would think it cost $1000 a quart. Due to all the comments I am seeing a therapist for my oil change obsession. I change my oil every day after work and if for some reason I don’t get it done I can’t sleep. Between the cost of the oil and the therapy I am broke. PLEASE STOP.
Scotty, the Korean war never ended. It's only on pause with an armastice, not a treaty.
They should pay for a new engine, not you, when they say to change oil at 20,000 mile intervals.
Oil is dirt cheap! That is crazy! 32 bucks for 6quarts at Walmart.
$21 a gallon isn't exactly dirt cheap. It's cheaper than a new engine.
@@Deploracle a gallon that lasts thousands of miles.
Some drivers are dumb enough to believe that 20,000 mile oil change 😂
I can only state some facts. I am in the UK and in 2009 I bought a 2007 Audi A6 2.0 Tdi diesel with 17k miles on it. In 2023 I sold it with 332k miles on it. Apart from maintenance, one turbo and one glow plug the engine never had any internal repairs and was totally original. When I bought it the oil consumption was about 3,000 miles per half litre of oil, and when I sold it the oil consumption was still about 3,000 miles per half litre of oil, and it still sounded and drove as new and still averaged over 40mpg (imperial). It had Liqui Moly Ceratec additive in the oil for the last few years. Oil change interval was as the car's computer flagged up, every 18,000 miles or so. I can only state the facts in my case, but 18,000 mile oil changes obviously did it no harm.
You did 315k miles in 6 years, obviously mainly long distance driving, which proves Scotty's point.
How do you work out 2009 to 2023 as 6 years?
I change it every 3000 miles!! My 2005 Toyota highlander car engine still sounds like new!!
if your that confident car companies, put your money were your mouth is about when to change the oil..put a lifetime warranty on the engine with no charge of any kind when it goes..also no questions asked..the service records will speak for itself
I drive about 7500 miles a year and change my oil every 5000 miles without fail!!!!! I drive a Lexus 2010 250C and it runs perfectly😊😊😊😊
The Italian Tune Up works by allowing the engine heat to burn off condensate moisture, and coke (burn oil, and unburnt gas) to dissolve. Thus cleaning the valve sets and fuel injectors and spark plugs.
When I was a young dumb car owner, I neglected my 2012 VW Passat's maintenance. I got it at 100,000 miles, and after putting 50,000 miles on it, I finally learned a little about cars and checked the oil. It was BONE DRY but running fine. I threw some oil in it and it's gone another 60,000 miles (with oil changes every 5k and no major maintenance)
I hear a lot of bad things about VW reliability, but I'll always be grateful that mine was stronger than I was stupid.
Like Scotty I too am a mechnic but in Europe and can tell you that it's only in the USA that folk think you need 5000 mile oil changes. Here, the extended duty cycle can be as much as 20K with an average around 10K. You folk are stuck in the. 1950's when multi-grade fully synthetic oils didn't exist. We also don't drive lumbering great highly innefficient V8's. The average private car has a 2L 4 cylinder engine that revs higher, goes faster and still gets 300-400k miles before needing a ring or big end job. But yeah, it's your money believe what you want.
Stay in Europe

They classified Martha's Vineyard as a low income area so it could qualify for the program for their EV chargers.
My so bought a VW in 2022 and it also has 10,000 mile change intervals. I tried to explain to him the reason to do it at shorter miles but he explained to dumb old me that the VW engineers know more about it than I do. Ok I said. We will see.
I read a hi tech, supposedly unbiased report, on EV adoption, and the increased grid alternative energy capacity required. The US would take a few hundred years of solar panel and backup battery production, and finite lithium on the planet, to satisfy the required energy requirements of the Green Energy Movement. Thats only the US. What about Europe, Middle East, and Asia?
There isn’t anywhere even remotely close lithium on the entire planet to be able to make all the EV batteries, solar panels and backup batteries to power the planet. Even if there was enough lithium, which there isn’t, it'd take 300 to 400 years of constant production to satisfy needed energy consumption.
In addition, supposedly the purpose of EV production is to produce less pollution.
Largely unreported, Japan, the largest adopted user of EV's began abandoning EV's because they resulted in having more pollution in Japan than with gas vehicles.
The power plants resulted in producing more pollution than before EV, Green Energy adoption, offsetting less pollution produced by driving EV's. In addition, the production process of producing EV batteries, extracting resources from the environment is highly damaging to the environment-collectively produces more pollution than gas vehicles.

An oil analysis costs about $35, and can tell you if you're changing your oil too often or not often enough.

I have a vw jetta 2017. Change oil 6 to 7 k niles. Has been very reliable at 91k miles ao far
3 car chg stations in my country town by huge to us corporate office. Every 2 weeks I go to my cdt. Union. Look over to the station. Only two times I saw it used. 2 tweety bird size cars charging.ah maybe one more just pulling out. 3 cars in about 3 years? Wow!
6.29 M subscribers is a fair indication that people with common sense like Scotty are extremely rare and that is why the few savvy among our Herd-like populations flock to his channel. Nicely done sir thank you.
The VW oil change interval is highly flawed! Most engine wear occurs in the first 1000 miles.I ALWAYS change my oil at the 1200 mile mark on new cars because I know this. There have been lots of studies on the subject and you have to get that break-in oil swapped because it will have a lot more metallic particles suspended
Honestly I follow with my car tells me to do. It's a Honda with the maintenance minder system that tells you when to change oil based on your driving habits. If I drive like a maniac in the city, it's going to tell me to change it every 5 to 6000 miles, but if I drive conservatively with mixed driving or highway driving, which I usually do, I can get to 7500 to 8000 miles before the car tells me to change oil. There's only two things I don't listen to; skipping out on an oil filter change (known as A1 on maitenance minder), and I change my CVT fluid every 25,000 miles (usually maitenance minder comes up every 50,000 miles to service CVT).
Honestly when I get my own car, I will change its oil on my own. I do not trust those dealer mechanics touching my whip😂😂
Yes, I agree with you! I bought drive up ramps, a mechanics Creeper, an oil drain pan, jackstands, and a floor jack. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Synthetic Oil and Fram Oil Filters. I can change the oil in less than a half an hour, every 5,000 miles. I am saving a ton of money, and I know the quality of the oil going in and the oil filter going on.
Smart man.
@@baileylugnutwhy Fram oil filter? Have you seen videos on their quality? Pure junk…look into it.
Oil tastes good
Extra virgin..mmmmmm.
I accumulated a total of 89 thousand today. I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and information you have given me over the past few weeks. I started with 5 thousand 2 months ago .God bless you Deborah
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
Thanks to my co-worker (Johnson ) who suggested expert Deborah Davis
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the
state🇺🇸 also paid for my son's
surgery....Glory to God, shalom.
l've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
Sure what's Apk her directly, but UA-cam's got a thing with posting number
Thanks again scotty, truth in advertising is a deceptive craft, clarification is a must. You are awesome
Big trucks will also do oil testing if they aren't doing changes.
Running a European shop I had a Passat towed in with 90K and a locked up engine. VW told them no help even though they had every oil change done by the dealer on time every 10K. You couldn’t give me a VW to this day.

Be careful with percentages. If I had an apple stand that sold one apple on the first day, and two apples on the second day, the business percentage increase would be 100%.
I haven't changed my filter 12000 miles. Used the 150k oil to prevent breakdown. Keeo adding it. Will need to do it soon
Thanks for reminding me to change my oil , idk what i would do without Scotty
I hate to say it but the oil change interval on my 2011 Jetta TDI was 15000 km and at 420000 km it didn't use a drop of oil between those changes.
My brother in-law only gave his Chevy Cavalier first oil change at 38k next one at 96k then another around 140k 😂 he was right oil is only to keep it from locking up. He was right it lasted around 200k he said it would still have went out around those miles even if he changed it like normal. Most cars are made to last around 250k no matter what
I purchased a Lincoln MKZ, she keep it for 12 years. No problems at all. She has a Lincoln Natalia now. How it lasts as long as her MKZ did.
I have a 2000 V6 Toyota Camry Azura, the logbook states to change the oil/service the car (normal driving), every 15,000 km, I play it safe and I have my car serviced it every 8,000km.
I’ve heard about EVs being prone to fires easily so therefore it raises your homeowners insurance esp if you park in the garage
Scotty for Secretary of Transportation.
The VW bug was the best people's cars ever made. You'd think they'd bring EM back along with the Chevelle!
New car, change at 800 miles with same oil. New motorcycle @ 600 miles then 1200.
Then normal oil change on car and 500 miles early on high performance motorcycles I own.
Did so with mine and mechanics said, "Best and cheapest insurance on engine lifespan"
Thrashing it for 343,000 miles before tossing head gasket and not burning oil yet... Toyota it was.
I worked on MACK trucks in the 90's and had a driver come in for an oil change and chassis lube. He had 55,000 miles on the oil and I immediately pulled a sample and sent it to our Lab. Changed the 12 gallons of engine oil, lubricated dozens of grease points, adjusted the clutch and clutch brake then waited. Oil analysis came back all within normal ranges except for slightly elevated levels of silica and soot. Steady state driving does wonders. Go figure. Lol
I own a 2023 vw jetta. Dealer gave me 2 oil change. 1st 8500mills ,not a problem brought back at 16.000 miles the wouldn't do it for free. Said I have to pay for it. I told them off it's my car not yours. I set the distance in the dash to 5,000 miles 6mo. They had 10,000 and 12mo on oil. I drove my car from florida to long Island when I left no oil consumption and no oil consumption drove 1200+1200 24.000 miles not a problem. I love my jetta
The last VW product I had was an 87 Quantum and it was overly complicated and unreliable and designed intentionally to be difficult to repair. The shop manual had a special VW tool on every page. Never again.
I change the oil on my 2010 VW Passat every 4k miles. It now has almost 215k miles on it and no issues.
Cars meanwhile have one million sensors but no sensor for oil viscosity and contamination? iMHO that would take out the questioning of when to change oil …I do know there are sensors for industrial machinery doing exactly that. Especially to prevent oil shearing.
Had a 2003 toyota yaris D4D changed oil every 5000 miles. Car did 297000 miles before the body started to rust and failed the MOT.
I do it when it starts looking darker than i like it. 4cylinder turbo 3000km 4000km max depending on the driving
last I knew, the Post Office was doing 6 month oil changes on their old Iron Duke LLV trucks, using the cheapest oil available. Mileage didn't figure into it.
My Dad had a 7.3 power stroke engine in his F-350. He towed a 5th wheel trailer all over the country. He went with a synthetic oil and just kept running it. At 12,000 miles, he took a sample and sent it in to a company for diagnosis of its quality at that milage.
They got back and showed the lubricating characteristics were just as good as when he put it in. Definitely go synthetic! 👍
Since EGR semis can't go long intervals without changing the oil. Eventually the carbon chains become large enough to damage the engine.
Same with fryer oil!
Us rotory engine users (rx7&8) gotta keep those apex seals from having build up.
Don't forget the auto trans fluid and transfer case fluid as well as all wheel drive fluids. Those need changed about every 30,000 and the newer all wheel drive differentials need it every 10,000 !
20,000 miles is crazy for any engine, but especially the turbocharged ones vw uses in many cars.
Low income areas are deserts. You put the chargers there so anyone driving through has somewhere to charge because local businesses won't have the money to do it. Not to mention the fact that the price of a vehicle has absolutely no connection to the income of the person driving it.
I had a 2006 convertible beetle with little trouble. I then got a 2015 one. I changed my oil every 5000 miles. THE CAR BURNED OIL AFTER 2 YEARS and 40k. It got worse and worse until it just died a few weeks ago. I took it for “oil consumption tests”. I complained, sold me an extended warranty and refused to replace the engine. I am DONE with Vw. The worst was it died (didn’t die but was undrivable and stuttering and shaking). I couldn’t go from dealer to dealer without a car. I have a 4 year old and the car seat is an issue- Uber/taxi don’t have seats. Nightmare. A month with no car. VOLKSWAGEN SUCKS. (I loved the car but never again)
Scotty has always warned us about VWs
I didn’t know they made convertible beetles for guys. Interesting.
@@bossmann6358 lol I’m a girl
I'd like to see where VW has it written for first change at 10K & then subsequent changes in 20K intervals!
Buy a VW and you can read the manual
NOWHERE!
I change the oil on my VW diesel truck every year in the UK regardless of miles driven... which is usually under 6,000 miles.
Hi Scotty!
That's really interesting, but you're bugging UA-cam's automatic translator.
I live in France, a country where cars are the cash cow.
I have 2 Honda, Civic and Fit.
See you later ❤
Scotty: Change your oil more often....Smash the ECars for 80% of the vid XD
another thought - I live in a condo complex, can't do much work on my car due to HOA - which - HOA's are from hell - besides that - it is a great idea for my car to be looked at by a mechanic I trust every 5,000 miles - and give me a print out of what seems to be needed in the near future - how much wear is on the brakes, battery test, etc -
I just saw an averting post on Fox news it looks like they are adding W D 40 in the gas for higher gas . mileage . This sounds crazy .
1983 Porsche 928S service interval is 15,000 miles / 12 months. On the refined oil of that day.
heh that explains why the service counter on my golf says 17k miles to go.
thankfully me and the previous owners seem to have largely ignored it and done earlier
10,000 mile oil changes my rear end! That's beyond terrible, that's insane! This is why so many cars burn oil. People actually believe that nonsense and then wonder why their car needs an engine rebuild. I change my engine oil religiously every 3000-4000 miles. I do a ton of city driving since I live in a large city and my commute is probably about half city driving. Admittedly I could probably get away with changing it every 5000 miles but I used to have a turbocharged Volvo, and old habits die hard, so every 3k miles it is.
Agree. 10k mile intervals are very questionable. Been seeing several Full Synthetic Oils on the Store Shelf now claiming 10000 mile "protection" (like Castrol and Pennzoil)... Did Oil Analysis (samples at 2K) on my current vehicle's Castrol change, which might make 4-5K miles "as is". My last Interval was 3000 miles/8 months and because of Fuel Dilution my Oil was "done" at 3K. While I've made adjustments (less idle and short trips) so the Dilution went from 5.5% to 1.3%...
Because of Analysis I can "Trust but Verify" that I'm doing OK. My previous vehicle (not GDI) was able to go 6-8K miles between changes and still have some life left (Full Synthetic). It eventually started burning Oil so maybe religious 5K would have been better. It's actually using Valvoline's new "Restore and Protect" now which I'm hopeful it might "unstick" the Oil Control Ring deposits... But at 192K miles it will probably be getting retired in a few months, not because of the Engine but the Frame has rotted away (and other maintenance/safety issues) from 21 years of Wisconsin Winters...
Will be sticking with 3K intervals for the foreseeable future, until my Dilution issue(s) are under control. My current vehicle model is also "known" to have concerns with long intervals. Its OLM allows for 7500/12 months under "ideal" conditions... Yet it apparently doesn't "see" or factor in fuel Dilution as a factor. I'm lucky in that I'm not burning any oil (yet), while others with this model do. So there are probably a fair number of people out there running their vehicles "low" and/or hard with fuel Dilution issues. Many in the know are sticking with 3-5K... But all the "10K miles Protection Guaranteed" is likely going to do in a fair number of otherwise good vehicles...
Keep it up Mr. Kilmer, people need to have some ballast against the brain washing. Well done!
You are the dude. Speaking the truth.
Sure they should be mostly second small cars to for city, to clean up the cities.
