@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 Sucks we can't rely on people to do the jobs we pay them to do. I carved a date on the oil filters of several cars of friends and family who had me change their oil. I wanted to see how bad this is. Everyone had the same filter after an oil change. One friend had his oil change 5 times before I finally got around to checking the filter only to see it was the same on. Oil change is a loss leader for some places, but it aint right to scam people.
My grandma bought a Corolla brand new when I was a kid, drove around in it for about 10 years and never once opened the hood or had it serviced. When it was finally done, there was a layer of dust caked around the engine like a cocoon and the car was about 1.5qt low. Still ran! Changed it and it ran for many years after that. No idea how many miles it went on the factory oil but it never faltered.
That’s why Honda / Toyota are such good cars for the money. I just wish I had got a Honda or Toyota instead of a Hyundai the 💩 the bed at 120k miles due to a faulty cat converter… now I’m out paying 15 hundo to have the car repaired
I drive a 22 year old 2000 toyota camry CE. The thing is still kicking. I've just changed the timing belt and evap canister. Parts are cheap and though it may not be the fastest thing in 4 wheels, it gets me around comfortably. I change the oil every 6 months or 4000 miles whichever one is sooner. All I know, is that I don't see too many other cars it's age running around my area. :)
When I was working at a tire shop attached to a big-name department store, we weren't allowed to do anything but tire related stuff. A woman comes in with a new Chevy equinox and tells us that her car "ran out of oil" and asked us to put some in. We told her if the maintenance minder on the dash board is giving you a percentage of the oil life, that doesn't mean it ran out, and to take it to a mechanic because we weren't allowed to help her. We watched as she went inside, bought a 5 quart jug of the cheapest stuff she could find and pour it all in in the parking lot without draining the old oil. We were telling her the entire time to take it to a mechanic and not add more oil, but she insisted that she could "save some money and not be ripped off" by doing this. 2 weeks later, our local mechanic shop that we sent customers like her to said they drained 9 quarts of oil and a bunch of large sparkly flakes out of am equinox and that the customer insisted we told her to put it in. You seriously can't fix stupid
Well, I blame dealers at this point. I took my chevy spark to dealer for oil change and they gave me an estimate for $1500 maintenance which includes coil replacement, check something something, rotate tires, wheel balance, Oh also replace wiper blades for $75. It was 12000 miles on this car none of them needed other than oil change. This is rip off and I understand why they don't want to go to dealer. Most of people say ok for this estimate and realized later it's too late. 🙂 They charge $100-$120 for oil change and basic multi-point inspection. This is crazy.
@Lassi Kinnunen it's under warranty but these are consumable parts and service so these are additional. I am sorry that was 15k which was 3rd time I visited the dealership first 2 oil changes covered by Chevy.
@@emredikici that's why you *lease* a Toyota instead, if you drive 12k miles or less per year... During the first 2 years of your lease, all maintenance is free & Toyota is better than Chevy any day of the week.
My son's friend works at a Ford dealership. Recently a customer walked away from a deal because they, "Didn't want a vehicle that needed the oil changed...." They walk among us.
@@mauriciogarcia638 It's not like they went for a Mach-E. They just walked out. Like their last car was ICE (which they likely just kept long enough not to do any maintenance) and they had no idea that oil changes were a necessary part of ownership.
I once serviced a Mazda van with 106,000 miles on it, which the owner said had never been serviced since it was new. I knew the owner, and believed this, especially when I saw the condition of the spark plugs. It survived at least another couple of years, until he sold it on.
In 2010 I bought a 2007 Hyundai Santa fe I changed the oil myself every 3 to 4 months. Its now November 2023 and the "Old Girl " still runs great with 338,000 kilometers on the clock
Your comment is absolutely true. The general public would be astonished by the atrocities dealers, auto body tech and mechanics do to cars and people have no idea. “Reputable” dealerships are included. The best way to know you aren’t getting screwed over is to either know what to look for, or take a trusted mechanic with you to look over vehicle. Read up on what your getting done. Become knowledgeable. And always get second opinions. It’s actually so sad how true your comment is.
Yes they will tell that . I trading in old car and it was a piece of jump I think they give me $150 for it the person called and asked me about the truck and what kind of condition was it in the salesman told him that it was one owner well maintained by me I didn't maintain it when I had it but it was a piece of junk I told a man if I was him I would not buy the truck and go somewhere else because that dealer was lying to me
Hey, I am independent female who drove 236k miles on a Toyota. By the time; I got ripped off at my 50k mile oil change it was time for me to pick up wrench and DIY. Six years later; I became Toyota technician.
Judging by the massive ass dent on the front I'd assume this person probably didn't have to pay for the car themselves based on how poorly maintained it is.
Well, my sister bought a brand new Chevy once. Within a week she already fucked up the rear end backing up in an alley, and 2 years later the timing belt broke due to neglect, screwing up the engine. Fuel pump died due to running the car with an eternal low fuel alert. Some people just don't care.
you dont know many subaru owners do you? Subaru owners like the 'set it and forget it' approach. They were probably reaching for a bag of nuts and rolled into a 15 year old prius. they both got out. shrugged it off and kept going. Cars dont matter when you're a Subaru person. Oil change? Its probably posted on a sticky note somewhere in their house but its just so easy to forget when you're a Subaru person. Get a new subaru every 10 years because at 180,000km and zero maintenance they just 'wear out'. Ive seen it with my own eyes lol.
The license plate has reflective additives in the paint that would have messed with the automatic white balance. He covered it up so you could see they are a frenchie from Quebec.
@David DDM not really just crack the filter before you lift it. Drain oil and the oil in the filter will drain back. No clean up. When you don't crack the filter on these and drain the oil and crack it after the drain back will release then you have a mess like in this video.
yoyo 19 i agree with you, i’d rather have it upside down or even horizontal than straight up like that. I can fill my filter up with new oil before screwing it on and the “dry” part of the first start up is almost non-existent. It builds pressure for about 1-2 seconds MAX. The vast majority of engine damage is 20 seconds after ANY startup. Just makes more sense to me...
I bought a 2005 Forester new and gave it to my daughter at about 85k miles. She had the oil/filter changed at a Subaru dealer. I got the car back, did an oil/filter change, and the filter had been installed (at the dealer) so tightly I had to jab a screwdriver through it and it took all my strength to remove ii, using the long screwdriver for leverage. Utterly crazy!
The first time I changed the oil filters on my mate's Sterling lt9500 I had to poke holes through them get my largest screwdriver and hammer it through then take the coolant filter and bracket off, remove the driver side wheel and put a 4foot cheater pipe to take it off. Not sure how it happens sometimes, maybe pulling vacuum in the crankcase somehow? He and his farmer dad had supposedly changed the oil after buying it but surely they couldn't have tightened it that much by themselves.
They self tighten, especially if you over tighten them when they are installed. Most spin on filters have printed on them “tighten 3/4 turn (amount varies on different filters) after gasket contacts base. Especially bad if no oil is put on the gasket when filter is installed.
Have a compression test done to check for piston ring wear (if practical) This is the best way to tell how well engine has been maintained. Insufficient oil changes will lead to rapid ring wear. If car fails dry/wet compression test, walk away.
I work at a Subaru dealership, I’ve seen multiple people go 30,000 miles before an oil change it’s crazy, and the black factory Subaru filters are always extremely tight in the first place. Also if it’s a new car and it’s got a blue filter with a white paint mark that’s also a factory filter
But have you seen actual problems from these long oil change intervals. like blown engines? In Europe some cars are spec'ed for 2year/50.000km between oil changes if they are diesel. Big trucks (that will do more than 1.000.000km in their life) are spec'ed usually for 100.000km oil changes.
@@paouvous oh yeah those cars had tons of metal we caught on magnets. The 50,000 mile car it killed all the small oil passages and oil sensors had to get a new engine
Funny you say that, but windows defender is more than enough for 99% of users on the internet. It's actually quite good and as long as you don't look for shady snuff videos or some weird porn you're good with only having it.
For some people, choosing the right hair and fingernail color is more important than maintaining a $30,000 investment, and when the car dies, they'll say it was a crappy car and vow to never buy another one.
Come on everyone, who would expect their oil to be low after only a couple years? I paid $800 to change my exhaust bearing on a new car, to this day I don't understand why it would've failed so quickly. They topped off the reverse light fluid as well even though I'd never had a problem. The linear polarity reversing heated seat modulator that is apparently bad needs replaced as well but I couldn't afford it at the time but they said I might get lucky and it won't need done until next month so I'll be using my tax return to take care of that. The crappy thing is the mechanic said these are all normal wear parts so my warranty doesn't cover any of them and that ads an extra 10% to the bill because he has to fill out extra paperwork notifying them it's not their fault. New cars aren't what they used to be.
Much easier than my f150. They put some type of oil catcher under the filter. Made it a real bitch getting the filter off. Also the bolts were rusted on so couldn't just unbolt it . Before I started the second oil change I took a saws all n cut it off. MUCH EASIER !!!!
Pretty much all Subaru's are like that and then some Hyundai's. There are others but can't remember. 2020 Diesel chevy impala and Austin Mini's are the absolute worst
@@pfc6329 fuck that man. My job is to change oil and whenever I'm working bottom side on one of those I need someone to help me because I'm too short for those fuckers
I remember when my aunt told my uncle once that all she ever did was put Gas in the car , when my uncle checked the oil that dipstick was bone dry 😬 I called that Camry the terminator because it survived my aunt (200,000 miles+)
When manufactures built things to last even if you drove it hard and ignored service. This car only got away because of the longer service life of synthetic oil.
I changed the oil on a junk lawn mower with a “seized” engine. The oil came out like molasses...I took a video twirling it with a screwdriver as it came out. I added new oil and couldn’t believe it started on the first pull. Change the oil two times afterward and it ran great.
Not really that big of a deal, you're already going to have to be under the car to drain the oil so not really saving time by having it in the engine bay
@@Striker50_ true but most people who change their own oil don’t have a lift where they can jack up a car and get underneath it easily they’ll most likely use a jack which only raises the car about 2-3 feet so you’ll have to lay down to remove the filter which is a pain. I think it is a great idea having the oil filter up on top.
@@RKSAINT I personally use ramps as many others do, on a crossover or suv you'll have a ton of access space. I prefer to have more space in my engine bay for when I do need to have maintenance done
I’ve personally known some people who think getting oil changes are scams. And when their car dies in the middle of an intersection, they curse the manufacturer for making a crappy car.
I had a friend in high school that was driving a Chevy Corsica with a GM 3.1V6 I think. The oil filter had been on the car so long the brand could not be read. I had my friend pickup a case of Mobil-1 15W50 and a pint of B12 Chemtool. This was around 1991. No one in his family knew when the oil had been changed last. I also made him pick up a case of ATF and a transmission filter. No oil was reading on the dipstick. So I had him put one quart of Mobil1 in and the 1 pint of B12 Chemtool and it was a 10 minute drive to the auto shop. We took it to the Army's "Auto Craft Shop" put it on a lift and got to work changing the oil, ATF and brakes. The oil was so thick it took it came out about the consistency of ketchup. Everyone had to come over and check it out and give him a hard time for not changing the oil more often! 2 weeks latter he told me he could not believe how well the car was running he was amazed he could feel the difference!
Alot of people.... After being in the repair/service industry for better part of a decade nothing will surprise you with what people do and negligence and laziness that follows. Its a throw away and buy and replace society
I'd be pretty confident that it is not far from toast. With oil that black with carbon it is likely that this Subaru's horizontal cylinders will be worn oval as many Subaru motors do. I'd bet that it already is 20% down on compression. The way the oil bubbles when it is draining shows that the antifoam component has stopped working so the oil has very much lost a lot of its function.
@@alextran8188 Lucky yes, in that it still was running. But if she has never changed the oil and it only drained that small amount, the inside of the engine is where you'll find the rest. sludge on every surface. Guaranteed. it is what oil does when it goes this long without a change. the lighter compounds evaporate. the additives break down. the heat cycles within the engine basically turn the engine into a refracting tower which slowly splits oil into its components. The oil also gets polluted by unburnt fuel which makes it past the rings (yes, even in new engines. just less so), carbon and this degrades the oil further. that oil is probably 10% as effective compared to new as a lubricant. Oil in this condition is the worst thing for all the gaskets and seals, so it will be a leaky motor in time. I think this engine will be toast pretty soon. 10-30 thousand km (6-18 thousand miles). it will blow oil at initially, then lose compression and power. soon after it will either foul the plugs too much to start or a big-end bearing will hit its wear limit and it will throw a conrod. you're also right she's "lucky" that this is a near new late model. if you didn't change the oil for that long in a car with 100k on the clock, you probably wouldn't need to change the oil at this point because it would be far far worse. especially a Subaru engine.
And the engine warranty won’t cover it when it breaks down. When the mechanic at the dealership opens it up and finds all that black sludge inside it will automatically void the warranty and a huge repair bill will be handed to her. If I was her dad I would advise her to trade it and get a new one. And to strongly advise her to change the oil on the next one she gets. Don’t even know how some people don’t understand cars need maintenance.
I can't get under my car and I am afraid to use jacks that I never know how to work properly. It's not worth risking my safety but use trusted mechanic shop.
When I took auto shop class in high school during the early 80s, a teacher had brought in their 1965 Ford Mustang to have it looked at. The car had been running rough, so the teacher was hoping we could diagnose the problem. She had purchased the car new back in 1965: 289 engine, automatic transmission, notchback body model. Our instructor, Mr. Swan, asked about the maintenance history of the car. Much to his surprise, the owner revealed that she had “never” changed the oil! She would however, every 4 or 5 months, add a little fresh oil to the engine. When asked if she had done this based on the oil level, she claimed that she had never checked that either! Interestingly, the dipstick was completely stuck in the engine. Using a pair of vise grips, and about a half hour of pulling later, the dipstick finally worked its way loose. It was practically glued in place with a very sticky, tar like substance. Remarkably, after we changed the oil and gave it a much needed tuneup, the car ran reasonably well. Truly a once in a lifetime experience…. :-)
Leave it to a teacher huh. I’m guessing the stAng wasn’t her daily driver so didn’t have a massive Amount of miles on it. That’s amazing ppl are so ignorant about basic vehicle maintenance
I bought a car like this and ran it to 70k with no problems. Changed the oil and filter every 6 months. Engine felt very loose but otherwise didn’t burn any noticeable oil.
Great location but mounting it open-end down means there's a good chance the oil drains out of it every time the engine is off. Better to have it mounted open-end up to keep the filter full of oil.
Audi ... Subaru ... both will burn oil or self destruct after 100K ... edit - there are some that run very well and owners love them but the fact remains too many have unacceptable issues. LET THE BUYER BEWARE
Most new design have the oil filter this way and dealership directive is to suction the oil from the dip tube rather then drain. Less time, parts and mess for a routine oil change. But its not great for the engine, oil can back drain if the car is not used frequently and not draining from the bottom accumulates sediments that could turn into sludge at the bottom of the pan.
I remember seeing a Mustang that had overheated and I asked the owner when was the last time she changed the coolant and oil. She had no idea what I was talking about.
he didnt try to cover it up :) the camera has a flash on it - the license plate is reflective. he wanted to show it was from Quebec so he put his hand there so the reflection from the plate wouldnt blow out the image.
My Megane diesel has 18,000 mile intervals. It's 14 years old and has done 150,000 miles. It runs perfectly giving around 60 mpg and never burns a drop of oil. Modern engines running fully synthetic oils do not need 1940s dino oil intervals. 25,000 mioes is a bit far though.
Most likely the bypass valve has been tripped and the oil is not being filtered. Better to have the oil circulate unfiltered than no oil circulate at all.
With it being the original oil from factory it wouldn’t be worth looking in the filter IMO. You’re going to have stuff from break in hiding everything you’re looking for. It would be the next oil change, hopefully sooner than the standard scheduled one I would go looking in it.
Yes- the factory tightens them very tight-My Impreza was like that - I changed the oil and filter after 2,200 KM- then at 6000 KM I will let the dealer do the service then 6 mths later I will change oil and filter at home.
Crazy! Also 30.000k oil service interval says in my service book and on the car dash computer on my brand new gasoline 2023 volkswagen passat 1.5L turbo. I'm now at 20.000km and motor already burn oil to the minimum on the oil stick so I already add it like 1L. That's insane long and I already know this engine will not last too much after warranty expires for sure. On other way it's company car that I use for work and it's 3 year leasing period so I guess nobody cares. But still 30.000km oil intervals?! On gasoline car?! Yeah. That's planned obsolescence in the full blast!
To be fair it’s not like he went out and dropped 60k on his daughter. She was probably leaving for college he wanted to get her something that would be reliable (if you change the oil). If he saved 1k a year since she was born he’d have enough for a new Subaru.

Vag group do the same vw's long life service 24 month or 19,000 miles.
Way back in the day, I changed the oil in my used ‘66 Bonneville that I had just purchased. When I tried to remove the oil filter with an oil filter wrench, it would not budge. I wound up ramming a crow bar through the filter and that finally gave me the leverage to get the filter out. Unbelievable.

I use to work at a Toyota Dealership in Ontario Canada and witnessed 2 leased vehicles that never had an oil change in over 3 years. Both engines were seized and when disassembled, both oil pans were full of really thick sludge. Both customers couldn't prove oil changes and both had to pay for new engines.
I put 110k miles on my old 2016 mustang GT and probably only changed the oil 3-4 times max, I would just keep it topped off because I was putting in about 6k miles a month, I didn’t have time to change the oil monthly, long story short that car ran like a champ and I would drive everywhere full throttle 🤣 traded it in and got more than it was worth thanks to Covid mark ups haha
Exactly. Same reason why I don’t let people other than family borrow anything. If people don’t take care of their own things imagine how much they’d take care of things they don’t pay for.
I bought a Grand Marquis as a winter beater and never intended it to last that long. I ended up changing the oil after 20,000 miles. that was 2 or 3 years ago and it's still my daily driver.
The breaking in period for brand new cars is really important. The first 30k will determine if its a 200k mile car or 120k with chronic issues along the way.
thanks for this bit of advice. i'm pretty new to cars and still trying desperately to understand how they work.

Knew someone in high school like this. His parents were highly educated, but had no sense of mechanical things. We were driving around one day, and stopped to get gas. He comments about a "check oil" light on the dash. The other two of us in the car were both people who had dads who did all their own repairs and service...and made us do it too. The other guy says, "Yeah, you know, like you're supposed to do regularly...with the dipstick..." and I add, "Maybe it's time to change it" The guy looks at us like we had suddenly switched to speaking Klingon...and says, incredulously..."check the oil?"...Change it?" He'd never done either, and claimed no one had ever told him he had to. Flash forward some months, and I was working at a car dealership when the family brought the truck in for "not running right". The mechanics, knowing I knew the family, had me called to the shop floor to witness what came out of the drain plug when they opened it up, glittering sludge about the consistency of cake batter. They didn't believe the mechanics, got pissy and demanded the vehicle back with no work done. I was told later they found spark plug wires switched (a result of the mechanics rushing to put the car back together for them) and claimed that was the original problem and the dealership was trying to bilk them out of a rebuild for nothing. About two weeks later, the truck shot most of its gears and all of its oil out on to the pavement at an intersection. I said *nothing*.
@@thetechlibrarian It isn't just "real world knowledge"...it's *usable* real world knowledge. The patriarch of the family in question was an eye surgeon, and his mom had been a registered nurse.

A friend of mine has a Honda odyssey and in their 3 or 4 years of ownership they have never once gotten the oil changed or the car serviced. That car has about 40k miles on it and has yet to have a servicing. They refuse to take it to the dealership because they think that oil changes are a scam that we're created to take your money. Told him I could do it myself and I'd do it for free just because I want the experience and I want to see how fucked up that engine is. Wish me luck if that ever comes to fruition
I met a girl that never changed her oil. She didn't know you had to. She thought the reason you changed your oil was if you were a racer or high performance and wanted more power.
Lol yup I love the ads that say "never had a problem with the car in 100k miles". That basically means "I drove this, put gas in it and never serviced 1 component"

That’s only 2.2 times more than recommended in the manual (10,000). It shouldn’t look that bad. Mobile makes a synthetic oil they call “25,000 mile” so it’s certainly doable (except they also impose a 1-year limit).

@@electrictroy2010 high dollar synthetic oil means nothing if you use a cheap paper filter like fram. Still need to change after 3k. However, if you use a high quality expensive filter that is made for synthetic and long life, then yes. 10k is possible
My wife's first car I bought for her was a '82 pontiac j2000. It had a small antifreeze leak and you had to top it off once a week. I showed her how to do it. She maintained it fine for the first month or two (we didn't have time or money to repair it at the time and it was only a $500 car). 6 months later I happen to check it and it was bone dry. Basically when I stopped checking up on her she stopped filling it up because "it was just going to leak it out anyway and she was tired of doing it". So basically this car ran air cooled for months and didn't die. That old iron 1.8 motor was slow and heavy but apparently pretty durable.
@@alexheckman6776 The trick is to loosen the filter a few turns first. That way by the time it's in the air and you pull out the drain plug all the oil will have drained out of the filter, you get a more thorough oil change and there's no mess when the filter comes out
@@firstlast--- use a sharp object and hammer to punch a hole in the top of the filter before you loosen it, rarely spill when changing filters since I've done this
My grandma freaks out when she goes 100 miles over her oil change interval, and great gramps will gladly delay a trip or appointment to change his oil, he's 92 and doesn't trust a shop to do it, his '93 Taurus has 153K miles, every 3K miles or 12 months he changes the oil and adds Motorkote, every 3 oil changes he changes the tranny fluid and adds stop slip, and every 5 years he does a coolant flush and replaces the brake fluid, without fail, and on every car he's owned, needless to say that old Escort still runs like a champ
When I bought my VW Golf beater it also had 36000km old oil in it and the valves were ticking, lifters probably. Flushed it with new oil + some diesel, drained and new oil again + filter. Now it runs super smooth

One friend had his oil change 5 times before I finally got around to checking the filter only to see it was the same on.
Oil change is a loss leader for some places, but it aint right to scam people.
My grandma bought a Corolla brand new when I was a kid, drove around in it for about 10 years and never once opened the hood or had it serviced. When it was finally done, there was a layer of dust caked around the engine like a cocoon and the car was about 1.5qt low. Still ran! Changed it and it ran for many years after that. No idea how many miles it went on the factory oil but it never faltered.

don't you hate cars that are stupid proof
When I was working at a tire shop attached to a big-name department store, we weren't allowed to do anything but tire related stuff. A woman comes in with a new Chevy equinox and tells us that her car "ran out of oil" and asked us to put some in.
We told her if the maintenance minder on the dash board is giving you a percentage of the oil life, that doesn't mean it ran out, and to take it to a mechanic because we weren't allowed to help her. We watched as she went inside, bought a 5 quart jug of the cheapest stuff she could find and pour it all in in the parking lot without draining the old oil. We were telling her the entire time to take it to a mechanic and not add more oil, but she insisted that she could "save some money and not be ripped off" by doing this.
2 weeks later, our local mechanic shop that we sent customers like her to said they drained 9 quarts of oil and a bunch of large sparkly flakes out of am equinox and that the customer insisted we told her to put it in.
You seriously can't fix stupid
if a little oil is good, more is better, right? and too much is just right.
Well, I blame dealers at this point. I took my chevy spark to dealer for oil change and they gave me an estimate for $1500 maintenance which includes coil replacement, check something something, rotate tires, wheel balance, Oh also replace wiper blades for $75. It was 12000 miles on this car none of them needed other than oil change. This is rip off and I understand why they don't want to go to dealer. Most of people say ok for this estimate and realized later it's too late. 🙂 They charge $100-$120 for oil change and basic multi-point inspection. This is crazy.
@Lassi Kinnunen it's under warranty but these are consumable parts and service so these are additional. I am sorry that was 15k which was 3rd time I visited the dealership first 2 oil changes covered by Chevy.

@David DDM not really just crack the filter before you lift it. Drain oil and the oil in the filter will drain back. No clean up. When you don't crack the filter on these and drain the oil and crack it after the drain back will release then you have a mess like in this video.
I used to have a 1992 Subaru wagon that had oil filter in the same place. It's a boxer engine thing.
yoyo 19 i agree with you, i’d rather have it upside down or even horizontal than straight up like that. I can fill my filter up with new oil before screwing it on and the “dry” part of the first start up is almost non-existent. It builds pressure for about 1-2 seconds MAX. The vast majority of engine damage is 20 seconds after ANY startup. Just makes more sense to me...

I bought a 2005 Forester new and gave it to my daughter at about 85k miles. She had the oil/filter changed at a Subaru dealer. I got the car back, did an oil/filter change, and the filter had been installed (at the dealer) so tightly I had to jab a screwdriver through it and it took all my strength to remove ii, using the long screwdriver for leverage. Utterly crazy!
The first time I changed the oil filters on my mate's Sterling lt9500 I had to poke holes through them get my largest screwdriver and hammer it through then take the coolant filter and bracket off, remove the driver side wheel and put a 4foot cheater pipe to take it off.
Not sure how it happens sometimes, maybe pulling vacuum in the crankcase somehow?
He and his farmer dad had supposedly changed the oil after buying it but surely they couldn't have tightened it that much by themselves.
They self tighten, especially if you over tighten them when they are installed. Most spin on filters have printed on them “tighten 3/4 turn (amount varies on different filters) after gasket contacts base. Especially bad if no oil is put on the gasket when filter is installed.
Some will put the oil pan drain plug too tight as well.
This is what scares me about buying used cars...
Why not change the oil after you got it home? That's what my dad did when he bought his 2009 Toyota Corolla Altis
"Driven by a young lady, no street racing!"
That doesn't reassure me...
Have a compression test done to check for piston ring wear (if practical) This is the best way to tell how well engine has been maintained. Insufficient oil changes will lead to rapid ring wear. If car fails dry/wet compression test, walk away.

Come on everyone, who would expect their oil to be low after only a couple years? I paid $800 to change my exhaust bearing on a new car, to this day I don't understand why it would've failed so quickly. They topped off the reverse light fluid as well even though I'd never had a problem. The linear polarity reversing heated seat modulator that is apparently bad needs replaced as well but I couldn't afford it at the time but they said I might get lucky and it won't need done until next month so I'll be using my tax return to take care of that. The crappy thing is the mechanic said these are all normal wear parts so my warranty doesn't cover any of them and that ads an extra 10% to the bill because he has to fill out extra paperwork notifying them it's not their fault. New cars aren't what they used to be.

I had a friend in high school that was driving a Chevy Corsica with a GM 3.1V6 I think. The oil filter had been on the car so long the brand could not be read. I had my friend pickup a case of Mobil-1 15W50 and a pint of B12 Chemtool. This was around 1991. No one in his family knew when the oil had been changed last. I also made him pick up a case of ATF and a transmission filter. No oil was reading on the dipstick. So I had him put one quart of Mobil1 in and the 1 pint of B12 Chemtool and it was a 10 minute drive to the auto shop. We took it to the Army's "Auto Craft Shop" put it on a lift and got to work changing the oil, ATF and brakes. The oil was so thick it took it came out about the consistency of ketchup. Everyone had to come over and check it out and give him a hard time for not changing the oil more often! 2 weeks latter he told me he could not believe how well the car was running he was amazed he could feel the difference!

She is lucky the Synthetic oil is really forgiving. If this was 20-30yrs ago her engine would've been toast lol
I'd be pretty confident that it is not far from toast.
With oil that black with carbon it is likely that this Subaru's horizontal cylinders will be worn oval as many Subaru motors do.
I'd bet that it already is 20% down on compression.
The way the oil bubbles when it is draining shows that the antifoam component has stopped working so the oil has very much lost a lot of its function.
@@Graceymay74 true, but she is lucky that oil didn't turn into thick sludge
@@alextran8188 Lucky yes, in that it still was running.
But if she has never changed the oil and it only drained that small amount, the inside of the engine is where you'll find the rest. sludge on every surface. Guaranteed. it is what oil does when it goes this long without a change.
the lighter compounds evaporate. the additives break down. the heat cycles within the engine basically turn the engine into a refracting tower which slowly splits oil into its components. The oil also gets polluted by unburnt fuel which makes it past the rings (yes, even in new engines. just less so), carbon and this degrades the oil further. that oil is probably 10% as effective compared to new as a lubricant.
Oil in this condition is the worst thing for all the gaskets and seals, so it will be a leaky motor in time.
I think this engine will be toast pretty soon. 10-30 thousand km (6-18 thousand miles). it will blow oil at initially, then lose compression and power. soon after it will either foul the plugs too much to start or a big-end bearing will hit its wear limit and it will throw a conrod.
you're also right she's "lucky" that this is a near new late model. if you didn't change the oil for that long in a car with 100k on the clock, you probably wouldn't need to change the oil at this point because it would be far far worse. especially a Subaru engine.
Am I the only one cringing watching him undo the oil filter so fast it goes everywhere in the housing and doesn’t clean it?
And the engine warranty won’t cover it when it breaks down. When the mechanic at the dealership opens it up and finds all that black sludge inside it will automatically void the warranty and a huge repair bill will be handed to her. If I was her dad I would advise her to trade it and get a new one. And to strongly advise her to change the oil on the next one she gets. Don’t even know how some people don’t understand cars need maintenance.
Some dealers don't change it, I've had mine come back untouched, just do it yourself it is the best way
I can't get under my car and I am afraid to use jacks that I never know how to work properly. It's not worth risking my safety but use trusted mechanic shop.

WHAT KARL IS A CAR GUY??XXXXXX
Karl.... What are you doing here?
When I took auto shop class in high school during the early 80s, a teacher had brought in their 1965 Ford Mustang to have it looked at. The car had been running rough, so the teacher was hoping we could diagnose the problem. She had purchased the car new back in 1965: 289 engine, automatic transmission, notchback body model. Our instructor, Mr. Swan, asked about the maintenance history of the car. Much to his surprise, the owner revealed that she had “never” changed the oil! She would however, every 4 or 5 months, add a little fresh oil to the engine. When asked if she had done this based on the oil level, she claimed that she had never checked that either! Interestingly, the dipstick was completely stuck in the engine. Using a pair of vise grips, and about a half hour of pulling later, the dipstick finally worked its way loose. It was practically glued in place with a very sticky, tar like substance. Remarkably, after we changed the oil and gave it a much needed tuneup, the car ran reasonably well. Truly a once in a lifetime experience…. :-)

@@skullkrusher6753 truly once in a lifetime experience
Leave it to a teacher huh. I’m guessing the stAng wasn’t her daily driver so didn’t have a massive Amount of miles on it. That’s amazing ppl are so ignorant about basic vehicle maintenance
I cried a little reading that. That poor poor classic.
@@bigsassyster me too
I bought a car like this and ran it to 70k with no problems. Changed the oil and filter every 6 months. Engine felt very loose but otherwise didn’t burn any noticeable oil.
That has got to be the best oil filter placement I've seen. Good props to subaru.
Great location but mounting it open-end down means there's a good chance the oil drains out of it every time the engine is off. Better to have it mounted open-end up to keep the filter full of oil.
Some audis have the same placement
Audi ... Subaru ... both will burn oil or self destruct after 100K ... edit - there are some that run very well and owners love them but the fact remains too many have unacceptable issues. LET THE BUYER BEWARE
Most new design have the oil filter this way and dealership directive is to suction the oil from the dip tube rather then drain. Less time, parts and mess for a routine oil change. But its not great for the engine, oil can back drain if the car is not used frequently and not draining from the bottom accumulates sediments that could turn into sludge at the bottom of the pan.
@@nrich5127 Bullshit

My Megane diesel has 18,000 mile intervals. It's 14 years old and has done 150,000 miles. It runs perfectly giving around 60 mpg and never burns a drop of oil. Modern engines running fully synthetic oils do not need 1940s dino oil intervals. 25,000 mioes is a bit far though.
You should absolutely tear open the oil filter to see what the inside of it looks like.
This is standard practice when changing the oil on airplane engines.
@@marsgal42 Well... it's not a bad idea. Anything to reduce risk. You don't want to send an engine out that shows early signs of failure.
Most likely the bypass valve has been tripped and the oil is not being filtered. Better to have the oil circulate unfiltered than no oil circulate at all.
That would probably be like opening Pandoras Box. All the evils in the world would be released at once.
With it being the original oil from factory it wouldn’t be worth looking in the filter IMO. You’re going to have stuff from break in hiding everything you’re looking for. It would be the next oil change, hopefully sooner than the standard scheduled one I would go looking in it.
"Who tightened that thing"? Sounds like the factory did. 🤣
Hood? What do you mean "open"? She probably has an iphone and a MacBook that have soldered components to prevent upgrades or service. Lol
I changed the oil on my uncles 4runner brand new i was the first one to open it up since it was built in Japan. It was so unbelivably tight.
Maybe they haven't even had the first oil change that happens at around 1000 miles...
Yes- the factory tightens them very tight-My Impreza was like that - I changed the oil and filter after 2,200 KM- then at 6000 KM I will let the dealer do the service then 6 mths later I will change oil and filter at home.
First time I took my oil filter off in this car, I about destroyed it with pliers trying to get it off it was so tight.

I'm now at 20.000km and motor already burn oil to the minimum on the oil stick so I already add it like 1L. That's insane long and I already know this engine will not last too much after warranty expires for sure. On other way it's company car that I use for work and it's 3 year leasing period so I guess nobody cares. But still 30.000km oil intervals?! On gasoline car?! Yeah.

To be fair it’s not like he went out and dropped 60k on his daughter. She was probably leaving for college he wanted to get her something that would be reliable (if you change the oil). If he saved 1k a year since she was born he’d have enough for a new Subaru.

Knew someone in high school like this. His parents were highly educated, but had no sense of mechanical things. We were driving around one day, and stopped to get gas. He comments about a "check oil" light on the dash. The other two of us in the car were both people who had dads who did all their own repairs and service...and made us do it too. The other guy says, "Yeah, you know, like you're supposed to do regularly...with the dipstick..." and I add, "Maybe it's time to change it"
The guy looks at us like we had suddenly switched to speaking Klingon...and says, incredulously..."check the oil?"...Change it?"
He'd never done either, and claimed no one had ever told him he had to.
Flash forward some months, and I was working at a car dealership when the family brought the truck in for "not running right". The mechanics, knowing I knew the family, had me called to the shop floor to witness what came out of the drain plug when they opened it up, glittering sludge about the consistency of cake batter.
They didn't believe the mechanics, got pissy and demanded the vehicle back with no work done. I was told later they found spark plug wires switched (a result of the mechanics rushing to put the car back together for them) and claimed that was the original problem and the dealership was trying to bilk them out of a rebuild for nothing.
About two weeks later, the truck shot most of its gears and all of its oil out on to the pavement at an intersection.
I said *nothing*.
