Scotty Kilmer Hello I’m one of your followers I really like the way how you explain everything. So my question is I have plan to buy one of those three cars ( Mercedes E350 4matic 2006-2009.or BMW X6 X7 new. Or the Mercedes GLS 2019 new ) I will really love to hear your opinion about those three cars with all the respect ✊ thank you and I will be waiting for your Answer SIR🙋🏼♂️
My dad is 70 and swears by wd40, every morning he sprays a bit in his morning coffee to keep his joints loose
What !!!!!!???? Lol.... U crazy ! Lol...
😂😂😂
😂😅
Thats a joke lol
Don't know if it was a placebo, but I had a slightly twisted knee once... So I decided to spray wd40 on my knee and by magic a few seconds later the pain disappeared.. True story
I use WD-40 when my wife starts squeaking..
What parts should we focus on?
What's part of engine we should check first ? Lol
Overheated
Thanks I’ll try it 🤣🤣🤣
where to and how much should be sprayed on?
1:56 Air Intake
5:00 Strut Mount
6:11 Lower Ball Joint ( inside the front tyres )
6:38 Big Bushing
Don’t forget, spray it all over wiring bundles and if a fire occurs, this guy will remind you of the “entertainment only clause” somewhere written after his schtick. Remember, it’s all fun and games until something goes wrong and then and only then, will someone be specific and take care about what they said or didn’t say.
There’s no telling about how much bad advice has ruined equipment, and/or caused injuries……. Be serious about serious things, nothing gets ruined and no one gets hurt or killed, and you don’t need lawyers already paid and on retainer…..
No no no. If you spraying this on ball joints, this stuff will eat the rubbers. Do not

@@markmartin3152drama queen
Scotty, Great video again but I saw something that made me cringe; petroleum-based lubricants (like WD-40) eat away the rubber, causing the rubber to weaken and fail sooner than normal. Better to use a Teflon or Silicone base lubricants on rubber and other flexible seals.
Agree with ya 99.9999% but some, not all, silicone products will also eat away at the rubber. I've had it happen, but also my fault for not fully reading the label. Lol.
NO worries--WD40 is NOT petroleum--it's a form of fish oil.

I used to spend 2.5 seconds opening my beer. After spraying the pop top with WD40 I can open it in 1 second flat! 😁 And, it actually improves the taste of Schlitz!
That's guts, with gusto!
Sadly, Schlitz used to be great beer, but no longer. Like Pabst used to be great beer, but not now. Guess someone bought them out an started making it cheap and coasting on the old rep to line their pockets.
I dipped my whole car in a vat of it.
Buff Barnaby Better still, dip Scottie in a barrel of it😂
WD-40 is NOT a long term lubricant, but as Scotty said its very useful for diagnosis.
It actually melted grease off our old screw driven garage opener when we thought is was lubricating it. It can act like a solvent if you're not careful.
It is a mixture of light mineral oil and vaseline in Stoddard solvent.
Seafoam deep creep is the best lubricant I've used, or WD's silicone spray
Dcc357 I’ve actually used it as a solvent for cleaning knives, one had a very think cosmoline type grease that was all dried up, shot of wd40 pulled it right out
@@Dcc357 Sticky locks also become degreased with wd40. The tumblers become lubricated temporarily but need constant re application.

@Coffee Cool lol
Been there.
That is what my grandfather did.
Been there 😂
works for me, rubber bushings on suspension need silicon spray
Don't spray WD-40 on bearings and grease points, that thing will dissolve and clear away the grease. It's not a great lubricant either, it'll evaporate fairly quickly. I use it to clean the chain, crank and cassette of my road bike to then lubricate it again using the appropriate oil, and also to clean wheel bearings when I'm rebuilding them.
It's not a lubricant at all. Is not designed to be a lubricant is not sold as a lubricant, it actually attracts and collects dirt.
It is just for water displacement.
@@oz_medias indeed. What I've meant was that I used it as a degreaser and then apply the adequate oil.
Im glad others understand this as well
This morning my neighbors BMW X5 had a really bad squeaking sound coming from the front right suspension. I started spraying one thing at a time with WD-40 and moving it up and down by the fender. I started from the bottom at the control arms and bushings and worked up. I finally sprayed the top of the strut tower and viola, no more squeaking. Everything looks good as far as I can see, just have to see if it comes back. WD-40 works like a charm as a diagnostic tool. Thanks for all the info Scotty. I really like your channel.

Thanks Scotty love your videos you’ve helped me so much never been a mechanic don’t know much about cars but you have help me I spent over $1,900in repairs on my 2007 Ford Taurus I paid 600$ for and I started watching your videos and learning a lot it helps me diagnose the problem so the auto shop doesn’t rip me off anymore! I’ve had 3 of your videos help me out with small fixes that the shop was telling me was not gonna be worth doing to the car because of the year of the vehicle telling me $2000 for a cleaning of my valves and some type of flushing and watch some of your videos and solved the problem for $160! Every car shop I go to because I don’t know a lot about cars they try to rip me off thanks for your videos please keep making them
I have the opposite problem! The shops don't tell me what needs to be changed in my car, and when they do, I assume they are trying to rip me off. I then end up driving in an unsafe car that breaks, when doing the simple repair the shop suggested would have saved my vehicle and maybe my life.
Sounds like a u problem bro lol. Maybe u should fix ur car and take it to multiple places for an opinion then go with the one that charges the cheapest or google is your best friend find out how much things like this cost so ur not paying to much. Not sure where ur at but there is normally mechanics that rip ppl off or there is mechanics that do a good amount of work and charge ok
Man, you are an American treasure. Scotty Kilmer for President!!

Thank you Scotty!! Your video saved me almost $1,300 at a local tire shop. There was a squeaky noise coming from the steering wheel when turning the wheel all the way to the right or to the left. I sprayed WD-40 on the strut mount bushings and the noise went away. A super easy fix!

"Water Displacement, 40th formula"
Ha Ha what happened to the other 39
@@WhipCityWrencher didn't pass prototyping I imagine.
Whip City Wrencher the first 39 formulations failed to pass the specs for the military Rocket program. The 40th try worked.
Not true
Nicolas Roman From Wikipedia “According to Iris Engstrand, a historian of San Diego and California history at the University of San Diego, Iver Norman Lawson invented the formula, while the WD-40 company website and other books and newspapers credit Norman Larsen. According to Engstrand, "Lawson was acknowledged at the time, but his name later became confused with company president Norman B. Larsen. “WD-40" is abbreviated from the term "Water Displacement, 40th formula", suggesting it was the result of the 40th attempt to create the product. The spray, composed of various hydrocarbons, was originally designed to be used by Convair to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion. This outer skin also functioned as the outer wall of the missile's paper-thin fuel balloon tanks, which were so fragile that, when empty, they had to be kept inflated with nitrogen to prevent them from collapsing...... In Engstrand's account, it was Iver Norman Lawson who came up with the water-displacing mixture after working at home, and turned it over to the Rocket Chemical Company for the sum of $500, which today (2019) is about $4,600. It was Norman Larsen, president of the company, who had the idea of packaging it in aerosol cans and marketed it in this way.” 👍🏻

Hate that red small pipe that comes with it. It keeps falling into tight spaces. I had one dropped into my car window panel gap damaging my expensive car electric window. Terrible idea...
Just seen a dude on here that says he fills all the panel gaps, tower struts ,inner door panels ,inner chassis with castor oil one time every 3 years on a old 1996 Camry it’s showroom condition 👍 I’m giving it a go
Had a squeaky door hinge. Sprayed with WD40 Silicone spray. Noise went away for about a week. Tried regular WD. Noise went away for about a month. Rubbed a little synthetic motor oil on the section that was rubbing 6 months ago. No squeaks.
The synthetic motor oil is clearly a better product for that application.
“If you don’t use WD-40 you stupid”.
Haha
I put on the bird feeder pole to keep the squirrels off the bird feeder.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure years ago WD-40 used butane for propellant. I knew mechanics that used it as starting fluid for diesels and malfunctioning outboards. Your demo explains why I couldn't get a small engine to even cough the last time I tried to use WD-40 to give it a kick.

Do NOT use regular WD40 on rubber, use SILICON WD40 trust me. Save your rubber

You only need two tools: WD-40 and duct tape; if it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40, if it moves and shouldn’t, use the tape.
When do you use the WD-40 Silicone Lubricant instead of the regular WD-40 on your suspension system? I believe there was another video of Scotty using the Silicone one.

WD40 is highly flammable without the straw inserted into the nozzle. As a kid I used to use a lighter and make a blow torch with it. I assume it’s because it’s more of a liquid with the straw in it as opposed to an aerosol without the straw.
I once sprayed it into the motor of my pos phantom vacuum. Well, wouldn't you know.... The exhaust of my phantom looked like the flaming exhaust of the bat mobile. I recall the flame shooting out the back was about 4 feet long. I think Scotty better take that statement back or clarify before someone gets hurt
Probably more aerosol, but also in the old days WD-40 used propane as a propellant in the cans. That was a lot more flammable than today's mix.
Sylvan Butler n
Without the straw it'll light up. Atomization
@Winchester & Ricko: By your logic if I blow gasoline through a straw it will no longer be flamable
Scotty,
Is it safe for the suspension to spray on control arms’ bushings?
For electrical items better use Contact Cleaner which doesn't leave a sheen of oil. WD-40 is also acting as a lubricant so it'll leave some oil behind which would reduce the insulation between electrical parts.
I think you can use it as starter fluid for a diesel engine.
Only as a last ditch attempt
You can use it as a lube.
I once went to my mechanic who had some crappy Ford Mondeo diesel someone wanted to buy running. It wouldn't start without being primed. I said "Hey I got some starting fluid in my trunk, need it?", he said "Nah, I got this can of WD-40." And to my surprise it actually started.
Diesels can be started with any kind of aerosol, really.

The mother of all wd40
WD-40 is shipped in gallon tins too, for use in refillable dispensers. Dutton-Lainson make excellent spray tip dispensers for such mixtures.
Master Milo is an awesome channel! Very interesting projects and builds. Hard to believe some of the things they do, but good stuff!
I use wd-40 to explode balloon
my brakes were all squeaky so I sprayed them all with WD40... now the noise is gone! thx scotty!
1:44 Woof 😂😂‼️👍
Made me lol.
Great video, Scotty, but doesn't the oil get everywhere when you're looking for vacuum leaks? Won't that collect dirt? Could over-spray also cause nuts and bolts to come loose? Used sparingly and with the tube, maybe it's fine. Good point about getting it on the fan belt!
I had a squeaky front strut bearing on a 12 year old car and wd40 worked but it took about a third of a can just on one strut . Your right I had reapply it to the strut every 4 or 5 months but still a good way to Macgyver a fix on an old car .
Couple days ago i bought a censored JAV VCD, After using WD-40 it becomes uncensored!
WD-40 never puts enough air pressure in the cans. I always end up with half a can of fluid inside.
There's a video on here of someone using an old tire valve and air compressor to refill all his half used products

Why don’t you just make stronger coffee?
The stream won't catch fire, however if you have the wide spray (like an aerosol can) version of WD-40 it is EXTREMELY flammable...
Like a fine tuned diesel injector spaying a mist of diesel fuel.
Helps gets the Campfire Going 😉
Yea it definitely burns, just it's not that sensitive, especially with the basic delivery.
An internal combustion engine with a clogged carburetor or fuel system will run off WD 40 alone, if it is atomized, so yes, it IS flammable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, and it made me cringe when he sprayed it onto the lighter and splattered himself in the process; it vaporizes almost instantly as it's soaking into cotton. His clothes could have become a giant wick .

Who cares ?
Good video ! i Love Wd-40 ! i Have been using it since 1979 or earlier. its awesome to keep stuff from rusting. i used it on Kawasaki Jet skis at a dealership i worked at as a young mechanic. It was a God send to taking Saltwater jetskis apart. i used to Spray the Entire Boat Down from Bow to stern inside & outside. No Salt deposits ever ! Engines come apart easy ! i would use Gallons of the stuff. spray entire engines down. Wonderful stuff ! after 10 years of spraying down the same ski , metal was impregnated with Wd-40. Not one sign of Rust ever on a Salt water jet ski. One thing though , Do NOT spray at a Greasy area that is supposed to keep grease there. it WILL Wash away & dissolve grease from Ball joints. Do NOT SPRAY Directly into a Ball Joint, it could ruin it. Its Great For Doors in your House that squeak , spray on squeaky hinges , Front door where u put the Key in. Works Wonderfully ! Door Hinges in car doors, Spray in Key hole in door. Works awesome. a few blasts in door key hole ,put key in and out , a few more blasts , and key goes in & out like a dream. Enjoy !
Better use gloves. The solvent in this stuff might pass thru your skin.

WD-40 is good for door hinges and also hood, trunk and rear hatch hinges. If you spray the hinges periodically it prevents them from squeaking when you open and close the door and it prevents the hinges from wearing out prematurely to where the door can become loose and not close correctly. Also, periodically spray it into door locks and the ignition switch to keep them from wearing out or sticking.
While better than nothing for hinges, WD-40 is actually notoriously bad lubricant in long term. It initially lubricates indeed, but it soon dries up into rather non-lubricating gunk. It is not that much an issue in hinges and other parts that are not anyhow prone to sticking, but in lock cylinders for example, where small parts should be able to move by relatively weak spring forces, or in spring-loaded electrical contacts, WD-40 usually causes more problems than it solves.
Its intended usage is to repel moisture and initially lubricate to unstick stuck parts, where it works well with its good penetrating properties. It also makes good corrosion protection, and is alright in installations not moving in normal operation, such as bolts and nuts, and screw or crimp electrical joints.
But in mechanisms moving in normal operation, you need a better lubricant. Multi-purpose oils, silicon oils, greases, and purpose-specific lubricants are the proper choices, depending on purpose.
WOOOOF 💥😆
someone make a remix of this
Wd40 is just as great as everyone seems to make it. My dad, grandad, and according to his dad all called it mechanics gold. Havent been working on cars long but can confirm, Wd40 is useful at almost every situation.
When you own a classic Mini, or an ADO16/Allegro models, carry a can of WD40 all the time. Had an Austin Allegro back in '92. There was heavy rain one July, hold-ups on the A1M in Hertfordshire, came off the motorway and drove along some country lanes. The car conked out due to the distributor becoming wet. Oh how the owners of assorted German and other modern cars laughed as they drove past. Managed to get a can from a wonderful chap in a pick-up. Squirted some WD40 on the ignition system and off I went, overtaking those very same motorists who thought look at that stupid twat in that crappy Allegro. I had the last laugh! Allegro 1 - BMW 0.
Hello Scotty. Can I spray WD40 into motorcycle exposed switches, such as turn signal and kill switch? Will it harm the switch? I want to drive out moisture periodically. Thanks!
Nope...It's common for bike owners to use it ...I never have much issue with my switches only the ignition switch so I spray it on the key now and then when the switch gets stuck...It gets really bad to where the Key won't turn fully
@HexagramMan nope...im aware I've used the graphite before but it's not a rule to do so...Even Scotty uses WD in ignition switches...WD is pretty benign...My father use to get the road tar off his 1978 Bandit Trans Am gold paint 😊😘
two things you have to worry about with electronics : conductivity and corrosion. Will the oil eat up the insulation on the electronics? I assume motorcycles have oil resistant insulation, but double check. Conductors always have labels on the insulation with a code for what kind of insulation it is. And will the oil cause a short circuit? Oil isn't conductive, which is why they use it to cool transformers. But I would still do a resistance check to be safe before doing it. Also with wd40, when it evaporates it leaves a residue. This can create gunk that accumulates, which is why if you try to use it as a lubricant in say a clock it will completely ruin it
@HexagramMan ???? "Are lubricated"???? By who exactly??? The factory??? Even if true the bike is 2003 so it's long since gone ..The WD did not clog it up
@@moonasha "oil"??? Who's talking about oil???
Do not use it to get rid of squealing brakes.
I've met someone who actually tried it.
LOOOL
Lol NEVER USE IT ON BRAKES !
That someone was you. 😀
To be fair, I bet the noise did in fact go away 😂😂😂
anyone that would spray wd - 40 on their brake rotors has a low I Q n probably shouldn't be messing with cars.
I can’t remember everything without the paperwork which is in the car. A tire sensor and a cracked belt is all I can remember. I wish I had a reliable great local mechanic like Scotty!
WHAT??????????????????????????
Scotty, I got an engine light code P0793, intermediate shaft speed sensor A circuit no signal, on Sienna 2005. I wonder if it's because of dirt or grease causing it. Is there a place I can spray wd40 to try to revive the speed sensor circuit?
my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokees alarm kept going off, it was annoying, sometimes in the middle of the night. My neighbors were understandably pissed. Went to the jeep forum and they said sometimes certain the door latch gets wet or dusty and smart cars believe they are getting broken into thus setting the alarm. Recommendation was to spray some WD-40 and close and open car several times...and voila! Alarm problem was fixed.
He needs a tap and dye, and some WD-40
Boggle.
“Ok, I need a HAMMER, can ya tell me where to find a damn hammer??” 😂
@@brucemorris3830 use the tap handle jeremy XD
Take a trip down to Strickland's in Arlen, Texas, and look for the guy that sells Propane and Propane accessories for a living.
Tap and die. A die is a piece of hardware. A dye is a colorant.
When bushings squeak, I've always used (rubber safe) silicone spray. Is WD-40 better?
Hey scotty so I'm confused cause I bought some wd40 from the dollar store here in canada and this stuff is definitely flammable
🔔
It must've been a knockoff wd40
Dollar Store? And you really expected it to be genuine? Where's Sgt. Preston when you need him?
That genuine smile from Scotty when he knows he can tell Karen that she’s wrong at 2:06 😂😂😂
How much does Scotty make for selling WD 40? Probably not as much as Toyota.
I would recommend wd-40 to use and spray inside the key door lock of your car for the 🌬️❄️⛄ winter season or whenever there are freezing🌁 temperatures , your car door lock won't freeze like my Kia Spectra used to do before! 👽
Rather use graphite spray. You really dont want to get grease in your lock to collect dust there
Tried lighting wd 40 on fire now my house is gone
Yessir! Rocket Chemical of San Diego got their water dispersant right on the 40th try. The salt air in the coastal area was a great testing ground. The aerospace industry jumped on the stuff and it proved its worth over time. When I was an Assistant Manager at a tool and implement store I always asked the new hires ( youngsters ) if the knew what WD-40 stood for. Ten percent got it right. They got the gold stars.
Could you please make a video about VVTi start up clatter in Toyota engines? My engine vibrates for a few seconds on the first start up of the day. Is it a problem? Plenty of ppl seem to have problems like that, thx
Sounds like he snorted a couple of cans of WD40
