The number of people that don't have any idea when their last oil change was performed or can't even read a dipstick is just mindblowing. In today's age, people just aren't taught the basics of car maintenance yet they demand so much from their vehicles. It's a miracle that engine didn't get destroyed being down almost 3 quarts. 🤷
I grew up without a family car.. Got my first car in 2016, kept it rolling because of youtube. Not everyone is blessed with a family that has even one car, though those that are blessed, take it for granted, in my experience. @r.l.strange1897
It's funny,but not funny..How many people think that when they get their oil changed,they don't need to check it atleast a few times, between oil changes..
Why i installed an oil catch can on our 2.0l na 2020 tucson 70k burns zero oil and oil changed every diy 4k. Most people who own these car dont know anything about an gdi engine and how to care for one so.
Man I’m not gonna lie watching this made me zone out a bit and just relax I been in hella pain these past few days fucked up my tailbone on a big ass rock working under my buddys car😂 appreciate it man actually good ass real ass video and your energy is amazing you seem so friendly and confident with yourself it’s actually really nice tbh 👍
Probably low oil was allowing the timing chain tensioner to lossen while driving throwing the timing off. I honestly think most engine issues are more neglect than manufacturing issues, unless there is a obvious recall.
Spark plugs can fool you sometimes. My mom had an '83 Pontiac Parisian and when it was about 5 or 6 years old it would occasionally act like it was miss firing. She took it to dealership 2 or 3 three times and they replaced a couple of synchronizers in the transmission, thinking that was it. That didn't fix it. One of her neighbors son was the service manager at the Mercury dealership. He asked her for more details of how fast was driving and where it was happening. He then test drove it under the same conditions and location and was able to feel it miss fire. He took back to the shop, pulled the plugs out and found that one of them had a hairline crack in it. The miss fire would occur when she was driving up a an incline while maintaining speed. This would cause the engine to rotate slightly from the torque and that would open that hairline crack just enough to cause the miss fire. Many years later, a coworker with a Ford Tempo was having a what sounded a lot like the same problem that my mom had. He had replaced the distributor, the coil and rebuilt the carburetor. I asked if he had changed plugs, he said no, they look great. I told about my mom's car and what fixed it. He put new plugs in and his problem went away.
1997 I bought a 1987 Oldsmobile cutlas supreme t-tops 307. The oil was so dirty I had to change it 2 times within a month. The inside of the car was super dirty also. My buddy had a detail Shop and helped me detail the car.
Not necessarily. That looked like the 1.6 liter. Hyundai/Kia had the big problem with the 2.0. Her motor could be good for over 250K miles if she keeps oil in it
Seems wise. Especially since they're not dropping the car off with a running engine. You start it and "you broke it". Well, good thing he videos everything.
On that make is vehicle the variable valve timing won't work properly when the oil is low. That result is the engine will run like crap and with terrible power. If it goes low enough that roughness cause enough knock that the engine won't rev power about 3K.
Tell her bring it to your local Hyundai dealer and have them run an oil consumption test. If she’s under 100k miles they’ll replace her engine and give her a rental for the time being. They’ll send her home in a 2024 Elantra
Any person you come across with little or no oil. YOU NEED TO PUT THE FEAR OF GOD INTO THEM!!! Some people cant grasp the seriousness of oil changes and lack of oil.
another great video! great content! you should increase the audio level in your videos, too low. if i set volume to hear you it blasts on ads and program breaks.
Hey do you have any videos on VW TDI engines? I really like the idea of the Golf or New Beetle in TDI with a Manual and want to pick one up used. Ig no videos, do you have any experience or thoughts on them? Ty for your channel I like how humble and nice you are to people. That is golden nowadays. Be well.
This happened to my sisters first car. She always got oil changes at the dealership, before 100k miles it magically had no oil and without knowing she drove it until it needed a new engine.... this happen after she got an oil change. Always check your oil levels because the dealership might forget to put it in or not tighten something and it leaks out.
Ive noticed with my hyundai elantra that when the oil is low or needs to be changed the CEL illuminates instead of the oil light. and yes, they sit low asf..
im a oil change manager and the people that don't understand to check their oil every month is wow, ive dealed with a lot of people who bring in the cars that they think they only need to change their oil once ever
Some people shouldn't even own cars. I worked on a car one time where they changed their oil ever 10,000 miles. Crazy thing, the stealership told them that was okay. 3500 or 3 months, my oil gets changed.
A good friend of mine was bad about letting his vehicles go low on oil lol i added oil to his vehicle more times than i can count and called me the other day saying it's running rough lol it was 4.5 qts low on oil and the running rough well that's what you call a spun bearing
Those Hyundai/Kia engines are known to burn oil. My Sonata burned about 4 qt every 1k miles, that was with regular maintenance, it started off burning 1 qt every 1k miles and Hyundai said it was "Normal". When it got worse and went into limp mode, all Hyundai did was reset the ECU and send me on my way.
Here’s your sign. Cars run oil! That’s what the yellow handle is for. Mind boggling you know he wants to just slap people sometimes lol he probably does with his mind
I do 6k/3mo oil changes non turbos & 5k/3mo on turbos & I never have had to add oil to any of my last 4 vechiles. I check the oil about 4 times a month at the minimum.
I'm sure the established repair industry hate you. Get yourself paid. Put money into your kids education. Some of these people don't give you enough thanks. You're too kind and the devious ones will take from you.
licence costs a fortune in germany these days but at least they teach you a good chunk of that stuff.. plus you get quizzed on it later on during your actual test.
You’re too nice matt. I know you hear that all the time and I don’t think there is such thing as “too nice” but I end up feeling bad for YOU in a lot of these videos. Remember you’re trying to make a living. There’s no shame in charging for services/parts rendered. But I get it…
I wear my seatbelt but chain smoke cigarettes... Does one offset the other? What if I wear my seatbelt in a Kia but get crushed by a tanker truck?? Am I still good if I wear my seatbelt ? Can I wear the seatbelt but die by heart attack behind the wheel and still be good bro?
These kias and hyundais always come in with no oil in them theres gotta be an issue with them i heard kia has a recall but will only replace your engine if you check the oil everytime you get gas

Shout out to the people that actually listened to the conversation and understood the scenario here.
Step one before starting a bad running engine. Check the oil
Depending on manufacturer they could recommend checking level with oil warm
Yeah but its good to check and see if there is even any oil in the engine to GET warm😅 @Deadops420

@Guitargreat I guarantee it hasn't been running dry for 50k or it wouldn't be running at all
May your generosity shine through your growing channel. Youre a good man.
Glad you helped her out but it scares me that there are people driving cars that have no clue about maintenance!
People are told they have unsafe worn tires, and need new tires and they drive off.

That Hyundai isn't long for this world. That engine is going to lock up soon.
If she ran it like that for too long that's a real option, yeah... 😖

How do you not know to check the oil 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂🤣
How do you not even charge her for the oil at the very least?
For real oil is getting expensive these days.
I’d make it a habit of checking oil before starting up a customers car to diag

Check oil every Friday. And don't over fill. Check when engine is warm only.
Hydraulic lifters not lifting due to no oil would definitely cause a missfire.
Some people shouldn't even own cars. I worked on a car one time where they changed their oil ever 10,000 miles. Crazy thing, the stealership told them that was okay. 3500 or 3 months, my oil gets changed.
Im not even a car person but, i know that you need routine oil changes lol.
What was the product you gave the person at the end to plug into the car and use an app to diagnose problems?
You should check your oil at least once a week or especially if the engine is making noise.
kicking things around now you are your own boss some people are just meant to be their own boss god bless see you next one
Now I know why some cars don’t have dipsticks…
Not one word about how oil gets depleted, and advising them to check it regularly.

It should be a law that b4 you get a drivers license, you should do a basic automotive maintenance class. Period.
100% agreed.
Honestly I don’t get why they don’t teach that
licence costs a fortune in germany these days but at least they teach you a good chunk of that stuff.. plus you get quizzed on it later on during your actual test.
How much is that going to cost? If folks can’t afford $50 - $100 for an oil change are they going to be able to afford a class?
She didn't need more oil just a longer dip stick.
