In my opinion, they finally got the Camaro's reliability and performance up to "speed" so to speak, just to discontinue it!
Scotty I have a 2006 Kia spectra manual transmission 105k miles is it a good car paid 800 for it
Scotty, great video 👍you are the best mechanic on UA-cam.
Hey Scotty I been trying to get your attention. I really really want your help with my Honda Accord and to meet you in perso
Paraffin addition to motor oil destroyed a lot of engines.
1: Oil Filter
2:Air Filter
3:Change Oil regularly
You condensed the whole 30 minute video into 7 words. Good job
@@tylerbaker9308 change oil and filter regularly. Five!
What about all the other stuff
What's regularly ? I bet I could get 5 to 7 different answers.
@@tubetime39 oh of course! Silly me. 3k-5k, whatever is at your discretion.
I usually do 3k on my vehicles, especially the ol’ 7.3. 🍻
This guy is a walking encyclopedia - and a stand uP comedian, a historian, an automotive Guru, a humanitarian and can probably be a music conductor...the way he uses his hands.
Yeppers so remember to replace your filters regularly to maximize your engine life
I hope Scotty has little grandkids or something because those kids would have a blast listening to him tell about his life and explaining cars to them ❤😂
Lol
This Scotty Kilmer dude is a national treasure and should be given some sort of national award. Who's with me?
You don’t realize how much we appreciate the editing and knowledge in your videos, these are the most in depth and visual videos about engines.
No lie bro 💯
Facts
Exactly
Yes we need details!
I have 2 Toyotas in the driveway with a combined mileage over 500,000 miles, maintenance is key!
Also, well built cars are key.
What are things you do for maintenance besides changing oil /filter and filling fluids
@@benjichillin5226 I never took the cars to the dealer. I used a very respected local mechanic for inspections and other repairs. When I say other repairs, those were few and far in between. I buy all my tires from tire rack or simple tire and have them installed at a highly rated tire shop in my city. By the way nitrogen fill is a scam as Scotty himself has said many times.
@@benjichillin5226 Check your fuel filter. Check cabin/AC air filter. Check belts for wear every now and then. Replace belts after X miles even if it's still sound, especially on interference engines. Check the owner's manual for correct gas type and recommended maintenance routines.
Rotate, balance and align tires.
Scotty you're my car dad, learning valuable awesome lessons, thank you so much, lots of love in your life!
Excellent
he's your car doctor so listen up
What a great channel!
This man deserves some kind of award or recognition for his service to the community. Sharing 50+ years of automotive repair knowledge and experience with the public free of charge is incredibly generous.
Well, not so free, at least I pay for UA-cam premium, otherwise he will get some money out of the publicity added to the video.
So, if you want to green the guy make sure you subscribe, like the video and share the video on a text message or on your FB, so more people watch the video and he get more money for the views.
Not so hard, right?

Community?! Which community is that?! F your community!!! 😆
Depending on the various factors that may be involved, spending about $50-$75 bucks a year on air and oil filters along with oil is ridiculously cheap to keep your vehicle running right.
Its too much for regular people
@@dragospahontu $50 a year is only $1 a week... but if you can't afford that, maybe you shouldn't own a car. Have you seen how much tyres cost? Or petrol?
@@dragospahontu what do u mean mate?
@@Agent24Electronics 1.60€ per liter here in Greece..
Just change things like this more often than you even think you need to. I’ve had my coolant flushed and filled twice in 90,000 miles; per the owners manual I could still be running the factory fluid.
Guess what. I don’t wanna overheat. I don’t want corrosion inside an aluminum engine. I don’t want my fluid going electrolytic and messing up my computer system. And I don’t want to spend $20K+ on a new car so I spent the whole $75 to HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE change the coolant. Twice.
I’d rather spend $75 once every two years than take on a $300+ monthly payment for 36/48/72 months thank you kindly
My Accord had 421000 miles and the ORIGINAL clutch. Earlier oil changes and correct clutch engagement over its life of 14 years. Great car.
The secret is buy a Toyota and change the oil every 3000 miles!! That's how I got a quarter million miles on my Toyota and it runs like the day I bought it!!
yup...here in asia we use km...change every 10k km for semi/full synthetic oil....and 20/40k for gearbox .
Well I currently have 278,000 on my 2001 3.3l 4x4 Nissan xterra. Runs fine and been across the country multiple times.
230k on my 01 tahoe. It's got some issues but hell what can I expect. It runs good for what I do
.mine to i have 280k miles 2012 carry still running strong no major problems thank God
Unless you have an 07-09 Camry that burns a quart of oil every month.
i’m not a big car follower but i do come here to Scotty’s videos to learn and understand my car so i won’t get scammed by bad mechanics just because I’m a female. Also, I’m learning I can do some of these myself! Thank you Mr. Kilmer ❤️
J Hoang me too ,I'm totally green in cars, Scottie is very good !!
The problem with synthetic blend is that we have no idea what percent of the oil is synthetic and how much is conventional. My understanding is there is no federal guideline that regulates this and due to proprietary secrecy consumers will likely never know. That's another reason I stick with full synthetic motor oil and have for over 30 years.
Absolutely brilliant Scotty. This is the best explanation about the modern state of air filters, oil filters, and oil I've heard in my entire life.
would adding a second Air intake with filter be like removing your air filter in terms of horse power increase?🤔
Well I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2 liter engine and standard trans. I been changing my oil every 3,000 miles, using what was recommended by dodge 10W30. I slowly switch to a full synthetic 10W30 at about 250,000-300,000 miles and still change oil and filter at every 3,000 miles. I now have 360,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.
The world does not deserve your generosity of knowledge and genuine care! Long live Scotty!
Moral to this one of Scotty's sagas: Oil changes and filters are much less expensive than engine rebuilds
not according to drivers that misshifted lol.
Why spend money on oil changes when you can save that money and just do engine changes
I have an engine that can be prone to breakdown from oil sludge, so I actually change my oil a lot more frequently than advised. At 160k miles on 20yo Jeep WJ my valve train and oil pan are extremely clean looking inside.
I had a 2000 GMC Sonoma with a 4.3 V6 that I sold with 589K miles on the original engine (never opened) and 2nd transmission (junkyard). I religiously changed the oil every 4K miles (quality filter and oil), performed routine maintenance ie: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel and air filters and aside from replacing a water pump and flushing cooling system, and replacing a fuel pump, the truck never let me down and is still on the road. Scotty, you preach maintenance and all should follow your advise.
I had no idea all that stuff was going on inside the Oil Filter....Wow!
Thank you Scotty...you never disappoint! Even if you did I'd still watch 🤣🤣
Unbiased, straight forward, perfectly done, very informative. Awesome video for everyone. Heck I have been around for 72 years and I learned some things. Thank you Scotty.
Yeah, I so much enjoy how basic he explains things. I wasn't able to identify a car brand from another, now I'm learning engine oil types :D
Excellent video. I taught the subject of auto mechanics for 33 years. Oil and filters are cheap compaired to buying an engine. I change oil and filter every 5k miles regardless of what the computer says. 4 vehicles and a tractor. I use Mobile 1 in all the vehicles. My class cut open 20 new different filters. NAPA gold was the best. We also found Honda and BMW filters were excellent. I use Honda filters in my 21 Accord. Oil level is checked daily and before trips. Proper maint is key to long life. On turbo engines don't pull in and shut off, let the engine ldle for 3 to 5 min so the turbo can spool down. You don't want a turbo spinning at 70K rpms and shut off because the oil pressure goes to 0 when you shut down. I told our machine shop teacher this and his turbo diesel still had 500K on the origional turbo when he bought a new VW. All he did was change the oil, filter and let the turbo spool down.
In 2016 my husband and I bought a RAM 2500 diesel truck. We have been diligent about service and maintenance. (Had I seen Scotty's video prior to 2016 I probably would have pushed for a Toyota).
But since we have this truck we really love, im learning how to keep it optimally maintained and trying to get all the life out of it we can while avoiding cutting corners and potentially having to spend more than needed in emergency repairs.
I'm *very* grateful to Scotty for sharing his vast knowledge and even his straight dope facts about which car companies really do produce quality and which to avoid.
Maintenance is KEY my 97 Ranger just hit 400, 000!!! Still strong and oil is still golden!
I had this random bucking feeling in my old toyota truck which started around 160k miles. It felt like a transmission issue but it shifted fine. It was only when accelerating, and typically when cold. Luckily I narrowed it down to being my old (and original) clogged catalytic converter. I replaced it and the problem was solved instantly.
Thank you scotty..you inspire me to maintain my vehicles..i get slack after 50 years..your a champ..from Australia 💯💯💯👍
Where would I be without scotty… father of 3 plus a 02 Chevy Avalanche’s in the east coast off the shore where all of our cars and trucks rust and have shady maintenance shops. With my knowledge and history under a hood or under a frame I need that good Scotty in my ear or tips and tricks love it
Scotty, I like all your videos. I got to let you know something about my vehicles. Almost all my vehicles I have gone hundreds of thousands of miles. Starting from high school, the most important thing I found was changing the oil often. And with this I usually used the cheapest oil I could find. I would try not to go over 2500 MI. But I wouldn't change the oil filter but every other time so about 5,000 MI once in a big blue moon I would go three oil changes before the oil filter. 7,000 MI. That being said the lowest miles of vehicle I had that I got rid of would be in the $300,000 MI range. I do have a Honda I've had since high school. And I couldn't even guess as to how many miles that has since the speedometer broke at about 400,000 miles and that I couldn't tell you when that was. On F-150 I and my ex bought at 2001 with only 10,000 miles She kept the changing oil routine up. And she and her new husband depend more on that vehicle than their new cars. She is at 275,000 miles. I have another f-150 2004 . At 365,000 miles, I did a lot of mobile auto body and real estate rehab. And I would travel for these jobs since traveling paid more money and it is a 2001 Chevy van at 490,000 Mi. All on cheap cheap oil but try to never exceed 2500 miles. And the Chevy van and Honda do have a string of magnets attached on engine next to oil filter. That I rap around oil filter. Got to say.. on all these vehicles. I have had to change gas pump more then once. Batteries un known times. Chevy van changed tire bearings 3 times. Both ford f150 rear seals once. Honda, alternator 2 times.
That cheap oil filter is very crucial for longevity engine. I always change it everytime I change oil. 300K Honda Accord still going.
I always used pureone filters n penzoil ultra platinum high mileage oil. My malibu maxx has 376,000 miles. Chevy sent me a coupon for an oil change
I had a cavalier with just over 500,000 same thing oil change coupon.
Love your videos! Was a professional mechanic for 13 years. Still work on my own cars. Shops and dealers don't pay enough so I switched professions.
1. get a toyota or honda, or other known durable engines.
2. change your oil every 5-7k miles, and use ful synthetic.
3. drive conservatively.
I agree. My uncle has 1995 Toyota Corolla. Still rolling, and use everyday 😀😀.
@Kim hundred.. 30k would cost, but go right at it...
@Kim not if it's a CVT.
which other durable engines?
Live on rural ranches. Can't take our vehicles anywhere without getting on highways. Avoiding stop and go city driving and short trips is proving to do wonders. My highest mileage vehicle right now (2005 full size Dodge pickup with hemi) is 320,000 with no heavy maintenance ever.
That much on a hemi. Damn.
@@honkhonk8009 Not sure you can get it on later generation roller lifter hemis. They have issues.
Any vehicle will reach high mileage if they do mostly motorway miles.
Acura TL 2008 with 220,000 miles runs like new.. I follow the routine Scotty is recommending. Full silicone oil (Super tech from Walmart like $17 per 5 quarts) and new oil filter every 7500 miles per Acura digital schedule. Air filter change as needed but rarely in winter months with very little dust in the air. I love this car it will probably get over 500,000 miles on it.
Own a 98 Dodge Ram. 250,000 miles. Still running strong.
My parents have a 93' Dodge Ram Cummins diesel, the 12 valve inline 6. Has 270,000 some miles with no engine issues to this point. I have heard of many of them going up to 500,000+ easily. (with proper maintenance of course)
I change the oil filter every year on my 1988 Nissan Sunny LS and its still going strong, this man is talking total sense! 179500 miles so far.
1988 and only 179500 I out that on my truck in 5 years. 😂
Great ! got 2010 ford fusion . 170K miles. runs great ! full synthetic high mileage what I use and best filter . change oil early . same with air filter . the cost between a good filter and a basic is not much for my car . I buy the best . thank you ! same with breaks !
Great presentation. This was very informative and something all car owners should know. 3 simple things car owners can do to make their engines last longer. Love your videos.
This is some great production quality. Been enjoying your videos for a while and I hope to see more vids of this level. Thank you.
Excellent video - The plan is for my 2011 Crown Vic to last for 500,000 miles in the harsh Boston, MA area. 4 times/year oil changes, annual air filter changes & new spark plugs every 2 years. Plus I spray my undercarriage with a fresh coating of Woolswax every year to prevent rusting. These are the things a numbskull like me can do, every fall I put my car in the local Scotty Kilmer mom/pop shop & have them road test it to find things I am ignorant to. Last year they found 2 weak ignition coils that were randomly misfiring.
I think the crown vic's will last that long whatever you do
You should be reluctant to blindly trust any mechanics. If your was really misfiring than you would’ve tripped a check engine light. Especially on a car as new as 2011
You are blessed to have Scotty near you!
@@aaronjones5742 Not always the case. My Mum had a 2006 Ford Focus that was constantly misfiring and no check engine light. The check engine light is no indicator of how well the engine is running its literally there if there is a fault code that trips the light and many of the codes that appear on scan tools don't trip the light. Check out any of the videos where Scotty plugs a scan tool into a seemingly fine Mercedes and watch it return 20 fault codes despite there being no lights on the dash. Only way to judge is by checking the oil filters, spark plugs and coil packs and using a scan tool to check the car out as well as listening for unusual sounds or loss of performance and fuel economy.
Hey scotty! Saw you posted my breaking bad/better call saul question in your last video. I love Mike as well! Favorite dramatic supporting character ever in a tv series. Good afternoon scotty!!
afternoon and true!
Mike was amazing! I always wanted a Mike Ehrmantraut spinoff, but him being in Better Call Saul is just as good! Best show ever?
Lol, I just rewatched "BB" this weekend!
@@feebypeels2883 No...I like BCS but loved BB! So BB may be the best tv show ever...with BCS a very close 2nd place. 🤣
@@jaycustom21 Yes, sorry. That's what I meant. Breaking Bad is the finest crafted show of all time. After my first watch through everything else just seemed mediocre.
Yes! My 07 chevy impala has 382k miles and is still running great!
My dad didn't share w me the facts of life, but he did show me the internal workings of the combustion engine and to change my oil every 3,000.
When I was young a 2,000 mile oil change was recommended, but I don't think most cars got it
You are throwing money away with a 3,000 mile oil changes. 8,000 miles is minimum for me.
@@label1877 8K miles is okay, if you are disciplined. Many skip or delay, and its more like 12,000 miles. I intend to change the oil at 3,000 miles and if I'm too busy, it might be more than 5,000 miles - but I'm sure you're correct that 8K is fine - when you actually follow that schedule.
2007 Toyota Prius. Just passed 728,000 miles and still going strong. I drive Uber out of SeaTac airport. I’ve changed the oil every 3,000 miles since day one. 👍🏼
I Have A 1999 Lexus LS400 With Over 280K Miles On It And Going Strong. I Use Mobile 1 20,000 Mile Oil And Filter. I Had My Last Oil Change On Tuesday September 07, 2021.
My Mechanic Drove My Car After Changing The Oil And His Exact Word's Were: "This Thing Runs Smooth As Hell! If You Keep Up The Maintenance On This Thing, It Should Run A Million Miles!"
This Car Will Be 23 Year's Young In December And It Looks Beautiful, Runs Smoother Than 99% Of Newer Cars That I've Ridden In!
The best explaination I have ever heard on the subject of auto maintenance! Bravo!
I really appreciate this video! Helped me explain some things to my daughter on importance of filters and oil!
Great informative learning video Scotty!
These are my favorite videos of yours!
Thank you!
This is three of your best Videos Scotty. Great job. Your narration is even better than ever. The information is accurate and valuable. The video clips are entertaining and captivating.
this is all 3 things I've never once done in 15 years. i am finally doing all 3 this week although the last 2 are done at same time. 3 things I always thought no way I could do by myself.
If someone does your oil change for you then they’re almost guaranteed to change the filter, and more than likely the air fikter
In states with subzero weather, like Minnesota, synthetic oil in the engine can mean the difference between the starter being able to crank the engine fast enough to start and not starting. It's pennywise and dollar foolish NOT to use it here. Futhermore, using synthetic in the manual transmission allows you to shift with ease in cold weather, instead of needing two hands to shift gears until the transmission warms up. Petroleum gear lube caused a lot of broken shift linkages in winter. Also, if you have a high performance oil pump, in subzero weather when petroleum oil is thick, it can actually blow the oil filter apart. I've had it happen. But no problems with synthetic oil.
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry with 235,000 miles on it . Its a retired taxi that got a lot of wear n tear over the years in a busy city . I've replaced spark plugs twice , changed synthetic oil every 4500 miles rated for every 5k, now I changed it a lil under 3,000 due to high milage and always replaced the oil filter every time . I also change the transmission oil every 15000 miles replace cabin and engine filters when needed and rotate my tires every 2nd oil change . Its still running strong. maintenance is key for the long run
No wasted time in this video. Thank you for the knowledge!
Great Video Scotty, I prefer this style of video that you make. Looking forward to seeing more like this one.
This might be the best video on the internet.
Those aftermarket filters like K&N with the cloth I found don't filter that well dust is inside the throttle body. I used to use them I live in the Arizona Desert and I don't use them now. The only way to increase air flow is to use a larger paper filter that will continue to filter down to the same particle, or reduce the filtering. If you live in area with little dust probably can get away with one of these filters. Oil filter brands stick with the OEM type filter never go wrong if you don't know what to use never buy a fram they are junk. OEM filters cost more money but you can get them online at a reasonable price. If you can't find them easily then buy a Napa gold, or Wix those are two well made brands.
Thank you, Scott! Simply the king of this thing.
Thank God I have a new awesome friend like you Mr. Scotty...Dude you are like my dad now, my best friend, mechanic and my adviser. Seriously I’ve learned a lot just for watching your videos...Now you’ll encourage me to fix and let run my old cars 1993 Nissan Quest and my 1994 Dodge Shadow with 75K on it...And for sure that I will saves Thousands of dollars for maintenance costs just because of your tips dude...Well, I WISH YOU LIVE LIKE 150 yrs or more, so you will giving more tips to lots of people around the globe.

thank you for a very informative vlog scottie, you are the best!!
Another AWESOME video from Professor Scotty 😁
Man, Scotty, that was a GOOD ONE!!!!!!!! I've got my Dad's old truck (1978) and there is a lot in this video to update me!!!! Many thanks, love your videos!!!!!!!!!

Great video! I love these detailed videos that also include some history!
You are a wise man who knows so much about cars!
Thanks for the knowledge Scotty.
270,000 miles on my 98' lexus ls400. I do bare minimum maintenance and it has been in an accident on the right side fender with 60% of its original parts still going with no check engine light and still smooth shifting
I totally agree with Scotty! My 2011 Prius currently has 340,000 miles and runs great. I use some great car maintenance software called Automotive Wolf on my computer to monitor the maintenance schedule and send me reminders when any service is due. The software also tracks parts, expenses, fuel mileage and calculates cost per mile to operate my vehicles. My Prius is at $0.07 per mile while my F-150 costs $0.87 per mile. I change the oil every 5000 miles and use only OEM oil and filters. Seems to be working :)
I'm another happy Automotive Wolf user. It keeps all my vehicles in great condition.
Cool story bro.
A Prius wouldn’t last a single winter in my area
I always watch Scotty Kilmer. He makes me so happy. I got my oil changed last weekend. I have been using the same oil that he does, for yeas, in all the cars I have owned.
Why do you use Scotty's used oil?
My 97 Toyota 4Runner has 600,000 miles on it. Still starts in the winter. Build quality and maintenance are key
Thank you !
I'm up to 250,000 miles on my 2007 Jeep composes . I change synthetic oil every 7,000 miles.
I don't beat up my car and I buy a tank of high test gas each time I change oil .
When I got Jeep used it had 150,000 miles . I paid $2000.00 for Jeep and put $1000.00 in work . It runs like new . I listen and do what you say !
Good effort!
Thank you for all this knowledge
Great job explaining the oil filter. If i ran or owned a quick oil change place i would run this in a loop [ with your permission first of coarse ]
You have helped me so much over the years.... thank you Scottie
Scotty:
This was an outstanding, quite understandable and comprehensive review of ways to help our car's engine last longer.
Please keep such advice coming.
I created a new category of you tube videos to help me find this stuff quickly.
Of course I am subscribed because I find your presentation style informative and amusing. Kudos! - Jim
You are a national treasure Scotty. We love you man!
Excellent presentation, you always save car owners that love to hear and do the right thing to save their cars from unnecessary wears. My 2011 camry at 163,000 miles still runs like new cos I use recommended oil 0w20 and change oil filter at 5,000 miles during servicing
For my Lexus 2010, I use the same oil brand; however, the recommended oil change interval is at 10,000 miles. Just saying.
My 02 camry has 230,000 miles doesn't use a drop of oil
My 09 Camry hybrid drinks oil like a thirsty camel in the Sahara, about a quart every 500 miles. With 220k it seems excessive after regular maintenance.
This is a known defect in those mod year Camrys . Toyotas have a great reputation but these years obviously fell off the cliffs. If you take to dealer they will measure and hopefully replace. It’s due to poor design
You provide the maximum amount of information possible in a video. Information intensive!!!
You are the MAN!!!!
Great video Scotty , lot a good information to keep the car running in great shape. Thank you for sharing.... !!
Always do them timely but changing oil every 3k is wiser.
Hey Scotty, can you make this video and others pertaining to vehicle history and maintenance dubbed in Spanish. With 30 million Hispanics in the U.S. and over 700 million world wide, I think that half the globe would benefit from the honest education the you provide.
Thank you very much for educating simple car maintenance.
wow..........best video ever from Scotty....nice talk very gentle and smooth. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.
An excellent and informative video, thank you Scotty.
Extremely well done Mr Kilmer. Really appreciate the educational aspect of your video. Thank you sir.
Thanks a heap Scotty, real useful info, did not know most of these details
Thank you Scotty. You help me with mechanic and learning English(I am French canadien) . I'm just glad you exist. Funny and always instructive.
VW beetles up until 1975 did not have engine oil filters either, just a mesh at the pickup tube in the oil pan, near the drain plug.
And always adjust the valves
@@samtx5518 Yep, mine was 1776cc dual carb with a 3/4 racing cam. It idled like a Harley, and sounded like one with a header exhaust. Snap off those valve covers every oil change to adjust the valves. It would lift the front off ground with the competition clutch. Loved that 1973 super Beatle ...my first car!
I use Wix and Motorcraft exclusively! Years ago I worked for Wix! They’re quality! There are other brands that are good quality as well! Purolator is a good filter! K&N, as well as Hastings!
I use Wix whenever possible. Excellent quality. And remember, friends don't let friends use Fram!
@@mattsmechanicalssi5833 fram ultra for the win! 😄
Wix is a great value for the price!!!
@@generalzod7959 I’ll have to get one and take a look!
@@mattsmechanicalssi5833 LoL no kidding
Thank you for the extremely educational video.
BEST Scotty Kilmer video ....should be a prerequisite for every autoshop class!! thanks Scotty!!
Another great documentary Scotty.
Scotty, thank you again for the wealth of important information. Walmart has a reasonable priced synthetic oil, sold by the 5 quarts.
Scotty, thank you for all your priceless knowledge.
Thank you for explaining that.
Love all the Mazda footage. 👍🏻❤️
*I have ford explorer 2012 mileage 520,000 km , i change the oil and filter every 6000-7000km*
520k miles
Probably kilometers.. 520 000 km = 329 000 mi
Much more likely for a 2012 in my opinion
Thank you for REVIEWING
INFORMATION!!! 👍👍👍👍
