Mexican Americans 4 SCOTTY 2020
Hi nice video
I’ve been having fun, sim rally racing, for an entire month, straight. I even get my wife to pour me shots of Patrón, travel mugs of Columbian ☕️ and 🐪 🐪 ...
1:34 lol killin me Scotty
Scotty could you do a video on the US 25 year import rule vs the Canadian 15 year import rule?
I'm getting fantastic gas mileage . 3 gallons to the month !!
Jack D make sure you get a refund from insurance
I was putting 100 miles a week on my car it was started first time today in 3 weeks it feels pretty powerful since in 3 weeks if only drove my lawnmower to mow a few times
David Payne ☺️
For real!! Filled up on March 19th and haven't even spent an 8th of the tank.
@@davidpayne2469 Even better on empty roads 😁
Just take a drive once a week, you don't have to stop anywhere just take a relaxing drive around the city traffic light, check tires, and your car will be fine.
@@rgroove1970 what chevy do you have? I'm interested is it one of those old muscle cars? 😀
Don't forget to take off like Scotty.
Watch for pigs 🐖

amen.....drink to that........😀😎

true , n now they want everyone to lose their freedom, souls, and minds.
You are the best scotty! Saved me thousands in getting ripped off by the dealers! Because of you, I do most maintenence myself! Blessings to you and your family
That bird wants to buy Scotty's car ... he left a deposit on it.
josephgaviota 😂
😂
“Curse you birds hiding in the trees” hahaha. That’s why I invested in a decent car cover to help protect against birds, pollen, and the sun
If it's a planned parking i Nufinish and forget it. I've had too many under covers get paint discoloration from covers and collect water.
Jay Bronze i have one of those too, for my cougar.
MC C just tell them to give organic and oily feed so that the dropping will be nonstick .
Buy a cheap tarp and some rope. You can even protect the car from tree sap and pollution.
The only thing I dislike about covers is they can wear your paint if they’re not secured really really well and even then the wind moves it around ever so slightly on your car.
Does that Mustang have any tread left at this point?
My car already sits too long.. it’s a Chrysler
💀
💀
lmao
Sitting on a hoist at the dealership
Wichael Meston LoL keep the comedy coming 👍
Scotty is the main person I still watch on UA-cam :)
I'm just glad I haven't had to fill up the tank on a weekly basis
I thinking it is good to drive at least once a week. I noticed rust on the brake discs the other day, and by driving the rust goes away. Cars are meant be driven not parked for a long time
Davin Peterson brake rotors can pick up rust overnight. You knock it off basically within 5 minutes of driving around; but even my daily driver that sees 300 miles in a slow week makes that noise the first 3-4 times I hit the brakes
The same with humans. They're not meant to sleep the whole day.
Stuff goes wrong when you don’t drive a car. My 1993 miata I bought last year did have both rear calipers rusted out inside due to the last owner left the car sit a while. Leaving a car unused for a good while will damage the car.
Felipe Villegas man i love sleeping the whole day. helps me catch up from revving my engine all week.
@@brucemorris3830 A word of caution, it can absolutely get bad enough that it doesn't come off in five minutes and/or when it finally does, you have warped the rotors. I know this from experience.
Full gas tanks also prevent rust in the tank..
Few days before i saw video about petrol thief, who ride on Mercedes luxury sedan (endless money pit). They steal it from poor cheap old cars with simple straight gas tank nossle. They do it now, because few people on streets. Its funny, premium car owner grab petrol from pensioners and students...
I had mine sit for 6 months since the dealership provided me a rental. Waiting on recall parts. Been driving my vehicle again for 8 months. No problems so far.
G.M. just shipped the first batch of ventilators. How long until the first recall ?
SK will insist on one made by Toyota.
Clayton Gehrke if it’s anything like the touch screens in the 2020s they’ll fail soon lol
That is just terrible but I sure hope the qualities better than there cars
Don't worry Trump is behind this contract. He is a man of his word.
GM has already issued a recall notice to hospitals. Only problem is the ventilators are still in storage
Now this is some excellent advice and something I totally did not think about.

thank you!
@@scottykilmer you welcome.
Thank you very much for this video. I was wondering about flat spots on my tires.
I wish Scotty was my mechanic.

The air is so clear now. I can see the snow capped mountains 60 miles away. Fewer cars is better.
Also helping cause light pollution.
car insurance companies loving the quarantine
Heck, I hear some of them are pro-rating the premiums temporarily by about 15-20% because customers that used to drive 200 miles a week are now driving 2 miles a week!
@@brucemorris3830 is that actually true?? My premium for my cars used to be $93 for the last two months (recently went down from the $147 I used to pay), now my recent monthly premium payment was for $177.
That is true except only 1 out of the 3 we own is on insurance so we can go to the grocery store. The other two we just move them around,start the car, and we also have damp rid sitting in the container on the floor board and open the windows and let it air out
Pete Rodriguez III I haven’t seen it yet but my insurance comes out of my payroll on my union’s group plan. I’ve been told this by a couple people who pay the year up front or month by month, not sure what companies
Some insurers are offering discounts for a few months. Just call and ask. The worst they can say is no which is your clue to look for a better insurance company.
Scotty your awesome. Even though I'm in quarantine . Your videos are still cool to watch . I pray that you will continue to be with us for many more years to come. You rock scooty. Thanks for still making your videos.
Agree; we all enjoy our Scotty Fix ;-)
You are an inspiration to all aspiring mechanics out here Scotty. Stay safe man.
Excellent as always, Scotty! Glad to hear your recommendation to let the car idle for a half hour. My aunt’s classic old (1970’s?) Caddy convertible suffered engine failure (main bearing seized) b/c in her later years, she only used it for 5 minute trips down the street for groceries. Never warmed up enough to evaporate condensation (or fuel?) in oil sump, made some kind of acid that broke down the oil, didn’t know to change oil by mile OR time. Bye-bye engine.
Yeah, Scotty, the Apostle of mechanics.
I have been working 6 days a week since the shutdown up here in Washington state. Haven't got sick thank God.
You can make a mask out of the heavy duty shop towels; one lab found they work better than an ordinary surgical mask, with a double layer mask being about 70% effective. Look on UA-cam for directions.
@@markh.6687 thanks man I appreciate that,stay safe my friend
Hazy Train stay safe
@@geegar3825 will do. You aswell!
@@markh.6687 _THAT'S_ interesting. I'll have to look for that, too!
Just stored my car the other day. Thanks for the tips Scotty!
I took your advice on one of your Last videos I have changed my oil and air filter and bought new tires today
Breaking News: GM has just announced a recall on all their ventilators.
Sad, but that'll turn out to be true :-(
OHHHH! thats fedup
And that's why you take advice from your pandemic response team months ahead of a pandemic.
Social Outcast were way passed that point, so forget about a refund.
josephgaviota I hope most of those units are shipped to China or Iran.
Funny, cause it's not going to stop me from driving my car. It feels good diving in empty streets.
Feels amazing driving an Rx7 during these times, the empty roads all to my self
@ Alex Miranda - I see no reason not to take a nice drive as long as you don’t get close to anyone. You’re not hurting anyone.
Really thinking about getting a sportbike again. Cheap on gas & empty roads.....bliss😏
those smart tenders are great. i used one on a year 2000 battery that still works great today.
Thanks for your videos Scotty!

Thanks for the tips Scotty.
With gas so cheap I take my car on the highway at least three times a week. I always love a nice road trip on the back highways of Iowa!
Thinking about getting a sportbike again.
Scotty you have really done it!! This is by far my fav video!!! Works perfect for all my answers that i needed when i have one extra car sitting and dont try it much because its my (fun car) *subaru sti 2008* thank you scotty!!! Absolutely loved this video!!!!
Good video, Scotty. Needed at a time like this. Thanks.
Thanks for making me laugh every day!
🤣 epic. To prevent rust from the beach. Move inland. 🤣
Scotty is awesome!!! I actually have a battery tender for my motorcycle. That battery is 10 years old and still working really good. I only use the motorcycle maybe once a month and this battery tender keeps it very healthy.
Scotty,
You have amazing wisdom. If I ever had the honor or spending a day with you tinkering around and listening to you share your knowledge, I know at the end of the day, I would go home much wiser and smarter man.
Thank you for your great videos and for the education you provide us all!

thank you scotty for saving my car from turning into endless money pit
Thank you Scotty Kilmer.
Great stuff!
The Battery Tender company makes a solar powered tender. I’ve been using two for 5 years to keep my car and travel trailer batteries charged while they sit in outdoor storage for 7 or 8 months every year. I also use Stabil in the car’s gas. These items work perfectly.
Does anyone ever wonder what Scotty's neighbors think when he's outside on the driveway, screaming at a camera while twirling his arms around in circles for what seems like forever? Would love to see those folks do a video on living next to the infamous Scotty! :)
Coincidentally my BMW is parked until its new differential gets here. Yeah I know, it's a money pit. But it's a helluva fun money pit. :)
You are so helpful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate your advice.
Thanks ,Scotty wish you all the best.
Hi scotty how are you I love your vids!
hello, good thanks!
A car that's not moving is a car that's wasting
So weird that a person that doesn't move is always gaining ....gotta be an upper limit I guess
Love the tips Scotty, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your experience, very beneficial
Rodents. Nesting from sitting is a risk. Set traps, run the engine every few days - check the engine bay first.
Yeah I gave my cat one hell of a lesson. Man there was fur and blood every where. Lucky lived missing a few parts. I made splints for his two broken legs one front and back. And hockey tape. Lucky is doing great. But he's older.
Hope you're staying safe Scotty ❤️
thanks you too!
@three blind mice covid-19
Toyota SR5!!! That was the best (and favorite) car I ever owned. Had the 1988 2-dr coupe 🙌🏽🙌🏽
When i have a car problem i always turn to scotty his advice never fails 🙏 thank you so much scotty your the best👍😀👍👍🚘
Inexpensive DC clamp-meters use hall-effect sensors to read the magnetic field on the clamp core and are sensitive to their orientation relative to ambient magnetic fields. You need to zero them as close to the final measurement position and orientation as possible so the amount of bias being zero'd is as close as possible to what the meter will see wherever it is going. The zeroing is only valid for the location and orientation it was done at. If you need to take a measurement in a different location or orientation, you need to check and likely set your zero again.
I wish i would of read this before i tried to zero out the ambient magnetic field before hand... now I’m stuck with a blown defibrillator with negative 5 degrees of a dildo
mongoloid you can only set to zero after you reconfigure the modulating orientational girth of the dildo
Scotty, how many times a day do you open the hood of that Celica?
Scotty: Yes
Thank you for sharing.
This is for real. I've watched 2 motorhomes fall apart because they weren't driven often enough. Great advice!

Get 4 jack stands and lift the undercarriage an inch.

His cat is working on a solution for that.
I've been starting my truck every two weeks & moving it around the yard to keep the transmission lubed up. I also keep a battery tender on it.
Thank you Scotty your video was very helpful
Thanks! I was wondering how long gas would last in my gas tank. Filled it up just before prices dropped to record lows.
🙄
And now they are record highs ?
TIME TO GO BLAZING ON I35 TO SAVE MY CAR
Floor it lol
Floor it in a peace of crap 1990s Honda Civic.🙄
Yeah, I actually record the date of the last highway drive in my camaro (short in-town trips don’t count). I try to open her up on the highway once every two weeks.
@@nottelling4828 my dad does that he puts in fuel additive (diesel magic) and blasts the soot out on the motorway and it passes emmissions
I blaze on I-35 a little differently than you. Just have to do the speed limit and crack the windows to air out the car.
On my second, which stays parked for long periods of time, I use a solar battery maintenaner. Works well, car turns on.
I friggen love, your altezza tail lights on the matrix
Clean, non-offensive comment: I sure could use one of those clamp meters.
Rodent damage is something else to keep an eye out for.
Mothballs...
@@robertcarmosino6563 They must be very tiny.
Rats like to make a pile on my intake manifold of underhood insulation and they start to make that their home. My dads classic buick had a rat go into the heater blower and when he turned on the heater it got jammed cause the rat got trapped inside leaving the decomposing smell
I had mice nest in my wife’s car after it sat for a period of time. I work from home, but on one fateful day I was headed to a meeting, all spiffied up. I got in the car, cranked it up, turned the air on, and was blasted in the face with mouse nest confetti. I was sweating a little from a hot shower, so it all stuck on my face. This was a pivotal moment in my war against mice. I could hear them celebrating. I harnessed my anger and left no mouse standing in the following weeks. To top it off, at the same time I was confettied, the brake pedal slammed to the floor with absolutely no pressure. That turned out to be a corroded brake line. The short one that runs from the main line to the rear wheel drum cylinder. At the time I attributed it to the mice. True story.
Watch out for squirrels from stashing the nuts close to the injector wires.
Scotty rules. That's all there is to it. Can't get enough of his videos.
I do the same with my motorcycle and mower. Saby-bil and fill the tanks up in the Fall. They fire right up in the Spring.
Curse you birds hiding in the trees!! 7:42
MY car battery gave up almost a week before this whole pandemic started....I left it in the car...A week a ago I go to fix something on the car....could not turn on the radio...was like "fuse might be blown"....put the multimeter on the battery....8.5v....well that's dead....so I disconnected the negative terminal....now it's just sitting there....gonna replace the battery once the lockdown goes away ( I could order a new one and have it delivered to me....but it would make no sense
@@jamesl9686 this battery is almost 6.5-ish years old :)) also never seen a charger. It gave singns of fatigue 6 months ago and now it finally went bye bye
@@ComputingCode Just go to Walmart and pick one up.
Great advise....Thank you
I agree with SK. Avoid having vehicles sit for extended periods if you can but if required, start & move it. Run the A/C 🌡 too. Run the engine, open & close all the doors, trunk. I had my late mom's 1997 GM cavalier with 17000+ mi break down & need major repairs after 2yr. It was bad.

I wonder if Scotty charges his hourly labor rate to the customer while their car is sitting is driveway?....haha
Scotty would you please do a special video on what we can do for good cars that we care about which have been left unstarted for 10 years due to a medical problem, but we now want to rescue them from the neglect? Thanks!
This is exactly what I was wondering, thanks Scotty for the advice! My Avensis has been sat there for a month now. Since watching this vid I've taken the handbrake off and let it roll forward slightly to avoid the tyre issue. I left the handbrake off and put it in gear in case the brakes stick on

*How are you, my teacher*
*I love you*

All the more reason for me to drive my RAV4 around town every day
Finally something he taught me that I didn't know about a car will turn over but it still can be the bad battery I did not know that thanks Scotty love you show your down-to-earth man
I meant I love your show my bad
I have a 07 camry but inherited a 2011 rav4 and I like it. Pretty noise inside but besides that its great.
