They didn't though. For one, they were talking about 4WD not 4x4. 4x4 just describes how many wheels are on the car, and how many can get power. i.e. awd subaru wrx has 4 wheels and they can all be powered, so it is 4x4, fwd corolla has 4 wheels but only two can get power so it is 4x2, trucks and tank-things can get funky with 6x4 and stuff. 4WD entails four powered wheels that are permanently locked or (more often) can be locked. In the second case, it is basically awd most of the time, but when the differentials are locked, even power will go to wheel in a pair. Without a centre-locking differential the power transmitted to the front and back pairs can differ even while each pair is locked, but most 4WD cars have a centre-locking diff that makes sure each wheel gets the exact same power regardless of the grip differences. AWD just means all wheels can get power (I believe it is also always full-time - i.e. you can't switch to 4x2), but only has open or limited slip differentials (I don't know if they can have locking centre differentials) so you can't technically give equal power to each wheel. I know this is confusing as hell. Here's some examples (the details are in a heirarchal order): Toyota Prado -4x4 -4WD -technically also AWD Honda Civic -4x2 -fwd Toyota Rav4 -4x4 -AWD
Car companies like hyundai and kia just put 4wd on their awd cars(and japanese people calls every 4x4 4(yon)wd) even jeep put 4x4 on their awd cars. it's hard to tell if it is classic 4x4 or just awd these days
@@rolls_8798 1. The term AWD is used interchangeably with 4WD outside North America. As a result, some people will say a Lambo has 4WD, even though it uses a system that's really AWD if you want to make that distinction. 2.

I'd love to do a build series in the future using a cheap turbo to see how much I can squeeze out of it before it explodes into a million pieces
@supercecilia Xenon: diamond, Regular: Gold. You could use diamond for regular ones, as it is a clear color, but most experts at TÜV in germany mention that the gold version is more efficient with old lights, reaching a "quadratischer Blinkerflüssigkeitskoeffizient" (quadratic blinker fluid coefficient) of QBL^2=0.95=95%, while using diamond on them only squeezes out 85%. Diamond costs around the same as gold. Some care, some do not. If you live in germany, ask the TÜV to do it for you. If you live anywhere else, do it yourself, as it could get costly if you ask a mechanic.
Just the fact that you watch @donutmedia makes you a keeper all day long. Now you are trying to learn all these terms. He better make you his wife soon and not just a girlfriend or another car guy will drive on in and throw you in his boot.

Used to work in a parts store, the amount of people who look at you with a blank stare when you ask "is it a 4, 6, or 8 cylinder" has hurt my soul beyond repair. And yes, I have been asked "where can I find the blinker fluid?" before.
My favourite it telling the dude to change the air in his tires as the winter air reduces power in the summer months and the summer air reduces grip in the winter lmfao
@@iplaysdrums oof I'm sure. Not even worth it to replace a lot of the time. My dad has had a Sentra since 2008 with no issues but I'm sure he's kept up with maint on that. I just replaced my Patriot with an XJ. Already love it way more.
14:23 LSDs aren't limited to use in RWD cars. FWD cars use them all the time to combat torque steer and wet/slippery situations where power delivery is key. My Mazdaspeed 3 has an LSD in its transaxle for instance, and it may not be super common but I know other F-F cars use LSDs in their transaxles. And this is the most comfortable I've been talking with shop/forums terms in a youtube comment section. Thanks, Donut!
actually BMWs are the cars that need blinker fluid the most idk if you've noticed, but almost all BMW owners have run their cars out of blinker fluid, and at that point it's so fucked the blinkers don't even work anymore remember to top that shit off!
@@Chimera6297 What are you talking about? It's well know BMWs are exempt from having to use a blinker. Just like it's well known if you buy a Jeep, you have to slowly take off parts of it until your driving nothing but an engine with wheels. I mean if you're driving a Jeep with your doors on, or if you are using your blinkers in a BMW, I'm not sure if they let you keep your license.
So glad I know my car terms now. Can't wait to get some LSD to improve my check engine light, then install a WOT on my RWD and make that BHP look really fresh
In Straya, the slang for bad gear shifting is called "roo juice". This is when you roll away in traffic or from a parking spot in the wrong gear or the revs are not matched. As a result, the car hops and lurches forwards like a Kangaroo going off at full speed.
Too bad the poor air quality has decreased your lung capacity & your laughter is only half a second: Sincerely, southern car modifier with environmental concerns.

Love this video. With numerous car review & car repair videos, it can be tricky finding videos that talk about basic car knowledge for beginners. Appreciate it!
All you need to know: dual clutch transmission (dct), cvt and standard AT (which would mean it has a torque converter). There is also singe clutch T but they are rare these days.
A semi automatic transmission is a manual but without the clutch which means you don't have a clutch which uses the same concept of a manual transmission but without a clutch.

Thanks for the information that we need to change blinker fluid. My mechanic took a couple of thousand dollars to do the change, I guess had to do some repairs since I left it so long. You learn something new every day.
Revmatching and shifting without the clutch is super fun! Until I wore out the gearbox. But then I got to learn how to replace it myself, so there's that
The blinker fluid part reminds me every time i take my car to the gas station (´76 VW Bug) and the station worker ask me for checking the levels and i´m like "Yes, please check the coolant level"
True story, my first car was an automatic. I had watched Initial D a lot, and watched how they Heel-toed. When I got my second car, which was a manual, I tried to figure out how to heel toe myself. Took a few tries before I figured it out, and a couple weeks before I was able to accurately match the revs. These days I heel toe basically every braking downshift just out of pure instinct. Even took an older guy, who has done a lot of track days and amateur racing over the years for a drive in my car, and he said "wait you heel toe? Wow Im impressed".
When i first started driving, i didnt rev match that well when downshifting, but once i mastered that, heel toeing was an easy next step for me. Although I still sometimes miss the throttle
My favorite is when I did used cars for Toyota and asked the parts guy to quote me Diesel Exhaust Fluid for the F250 I was working on as a used car. He thought I was messing with him. Had to ask him three times then show him it was a real thing.
You should talk about “sand bagging”, where the term came from and why it’s good/bad depending on who’s doing the sand bagging. Or some people in the south say “Let her eat” meaning let it run until it breaks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, obviously. You can do that in a car, though I recommend against it while you're driving. It can be pretty processor intensive.
all foreign cars besides Toyota and Lexus as well as some of the Hondas most of the Honda’s are pretty good cars now I will say I’m some V-8 Lexus models they do get more expensive as they age just because it’s a V8 but a car for me personally that I found that’s pretty good is the 96 Buick Park Avenue I’ve had no problems with mine it has the legendary and bulletproof 3.8 L series 2 V6 with a reliable timing chain that car is an amazing ride like a cloud and when it breaks which it doesn’t and in some cases very rare it’s relatively easy to fix at least for me because I pretty much do everything myself well almost everything everything that doesn’t require the car to be lifted off the ground for a long period of time like for struts I also have an XJ6 jaguar that gives me hell on a daily basis it doesn’t run right now typical of a jaguar though electrical problem it’s still better than a BMW though at least I don’t have to worry about too much plastic crap breaking killing the motor as Scotty Kilmer would say an endless money pit both of them the Buick and my Jager night and day different The Buick spend my daily driver for a year the first time I tried to daily drive my Jag it left me stranded in the school parking lot That’s the thing about Jaguars they’re beautiful even on the side of the road broken down haha

I really need to check my blinker fluid, haven't done it in a year and that clickin gets really annoying. Thanks for mentioning it!
@supercecilia yes. You get it at all gas stations. It's the yellow(gold) or white(diamond) liquid depending on the type of light you have.
@supercecilia Xenon: diamond, Regular: Gold.
You could use diamond for regular ones, as it is a clear color, but most experts at TÜV in germany mention that the gold version is more efficient with old lights, reaching a "quadratischer Blinkerflüssigkeitskoeffizient" (quadratic blinker fluid coefficient) of QBL^2=0.95=95%, while using diamond on them only squeezes out 85%. Diamond costs around the same as gold. Some care, some do not. If you live in germany, ask the TÜV to do it for you. If you live anywhere else, do it yourself, as it could get costly if you ask a mechanic.
Now I can pretend I know what my boyfriend is talking about when he talks to me about cars, thank you
What a good girlfriend!

Just the fact that you watch @donutmedia makes you a keeper all day long. Now you are trying to learn all these terms. He better make you his wife soon and not just a girlfriend or another car guy will drive on in and throw you in his boot.

Just make sure to tell him to change Blinker Fluid every 3,000.
Meanwhile in an LA Autozone in the not too distant future:
Clerk: Do we sell what?
Customer: Dirty Dirk's Blinker Fluid with Snake Oil. My mom said I was running low and some video on youtube with a lot of views said it was a good brand.
Clerk: I do not get paid enough for this thankless job.
Used to work in a parts store, the amount of people who look at you with a blank stare when you ask "is it a 4, 6, or 8 cylinder" has hurt my soul beyond repair. And yes, I have been asked "where can I find the blinker fluid?" before.

Truly appreciate your content, dude!!!
Let’s be honest, most of us came here for validation.
hHahahahah facts
I actually learned something too! I was wondering what blinker fluid is and everyone laughed when I asked them so I'm glad he explained what it is.
Yes
frrrr
I definitely clicked this going "Okay if there's a term on here I didn't already know, imma be pissed."
14:23 LSDs aren't limited to use in RWD cars. FWD cars use them all the time to combat torque steer and wet/slippery situations where power delivery is key. My Mazdaspeed 3 has an LSD in its transaxle for instance, and it may not be super common but I know other F-F cars use LSDs in their transaxles.
And this is the most comfortable I've been talking with shop/forums terms in a youtube comment section. Thanks, Donut!
Subaru has them too
My si has one as well
Integra has it
I appreciate that you use the word transaxle correctly. Lots of FWD Focus have LSD front diffs too.
LSD in FWD you go from torque steer to no steer haha
Nolan: *how many do you know!?*
Me: *Three. Take it or leave it*
gotta love when those money shifts humble you
“Send it” “That will buff out”
I brought a BMW so I can spend less on blinker fluid. I'm saving hundreds every month.
actually BMWs are the cars that need blinker fluid the most
idk if you've noticed, but almost all BMW owners have run their cars out of blinker fluid, and at that point it's so fucked the blinkers don't even work anymore
remember to top that shit off!
@@Chimera6297 What are you talking about? It's well know BMWs are exempt from having to use a blinker. Just like it's well known if you buy a Jeep, you have to slowly take off parts of it until your driving nothing but an engine with wheels. I mean if you're driving a Jeep with your doors on, or if you are using your blinkers in a BMW, I'm not sure if they let you keep your license.
So glad I know my car terms now. Can't wait to get some LSD to improve my check engine light, then install a WOT on my RWD and make that BHP look really fresh
In Straya, the slang for bad gear shifting is called "roo juice". This is when you roll away in traffic or from a parking spot in the wrong gear or the revs are not matched. As a result, the car hops and lurches forwards like a Kangaroo going off at full speed.

The word “rural” kinda defines that because it’s affiliated with there being less people.
But Huston is less populated with around 75% of LA’s air quality. That’s terrible especially if you scaled it up to equal population.

Love this video. With numerous car review & car repair videos, it can be tricky finding videos that talk about basic car knowledge for beginners. Appreciate it!
I would like a whole video about the difference between Steptronic/Semi-auto transmission/Easytronic/CVT/DSG and a classic AT.
All you need to know: dual clutch transmission (dct), cvt and standard AT (which would mean it has a torque converter). There is also singe clutch T but they are rare these days.
Or a good ol powerglide
Top comment
A semi automatic transmission is a manual but without the clutch which means you don't have a clutch which uses the same concept of a manual transmission but without a clutch.

“Depreciation” and “Crying” are the two I’m familiar with. Largely from a sad ‘89 240sx coupe.

Im glad and suprised I knew most of these, it seems like yesterday when I was just getting into cars. Also +1 for the Sepultura reference.
Thanks for the information that we need to change blinker fluid. My mechanic took a couple of thousand dollars to do the change, I guess had to do some repairs since I left it so long. You learn something new every day.
BMW owners never have to change their blinker fluid because they never use their blinker anyways
Really, I always thought it was because the blinker fluid lines were pressurized and it could only be changed at your BMW dealership
Only cause BMW turn signals kinda suck :/
Revmatching and shifting without the clutch is super fun! Until I wore out the gearbox. But then I got to learn how to replace it myself, so there's that
The blinker fluid part reminds me every time i take my car to the gas station (´76 VW Bug) and the station worker

12:03 I like how the car is missing the wheels on the right side 😂
Cus takumi was using it while running against the pink miata 🤣🤣🤣.
Heal toe is a drum term as well. It’s a double bass technique that I really need to learn
True story, my first car was an automatic. I had watched Initial D a lot, and watched how they Heel-toed.
When I got my second car, which was a manual, I tried to figure out how to heel toe myself. Took a few tries before I figured it out, and a couple weeks before I was able to accurately match the revs.
These days I heel toe basically every braking downshift just out of pure instinct. Even took an older guy, who has done a lot of track days and amateur racing over the years for a drive in my car, and he said "wait you heel toe? Wow Im impressed".
Yeah I've started doing it a bit recently, not too hard though
Nicee
Corona Virus: Just what you’d expect from a Subaru. The cars is great but their head gasket are crappy indeed.
Same, my first car was a manual and I immediately started learning how to heel toe. I can't downshift with heel toe, it feels so weird if I don't now
When i first started driving, i didnt rev match that well when downshifting, but once i mastered that, heel toeing was an easy next step for me. Although I still sometimes miss the throttle

My favorite is when I did used cars for Toyota and asked the parts guy to quote me Diesel Exhaust Fluid for the F250 I was working on as a used car. He thought I was messing with him. Had to ask him three times then show him it was a real thing.
You should talk about “sand bagging”, where the term came from and why it’s good/bad depending on who’s doing the sand bagging. Or some people in the south say “Let her eat” meaning let it run until it breaks.
If you go far enough south you encounter "Let'er'ate" which means the same thing but it just one word
