plz link me that oil filter socket. i have been takn my cars to valvoline because i can never get the filters off.
Scotty.... do you use "new oil" on the filter gasket or "used oil"?
That your old place .. what great memories
Scotty Kilmer ? What type of motor oil should I use on a freshly installed remanufactured engine that's not broken in ? After the break in the remanufactured engine. What motor oil should I use ?
Im no fancy professional mechanic like Scotty..but in my opinion I say...
Aint broke.. Dont fix it.
Scotty is so powerful he went ahead of time into winter to demonstrate oil in the cold for us, AND then went back into hotter weather. Truly a god among men
Pro tip: Clean your funnel before pouring fresh oil in to your engine. Then, don't toss the funnel on to the ground. Wipe it out and store it in a clean place until the next use.
I store my funnels in plastic bags. Spray them with carb cleaner.
Or don't use a funnel. Can al2ays have a spare oil can you can decant oil into.
You mean, use your brain and common sense?😃
@@liviubita4238 You know it!😁
A super easy underrated way is to just not put oil in. Therefore there will be no chance of a contamination or dirty engine! I usually just flush my engine with dish soap and a water hose! 😎
Professor Kilmer, schooling us today on petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and chemical engineering! That's why I've been here for almost ten years. LOVE you, Scotty!
I think he’s married dude
@@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_ c'mon now, let a man dream!
This guy would be a Nobel Peace Prize winner for saving humanity lol
If you need a beaker bar to remove an oil drain plug, it's not because you're weak, it's because the guy that changed it before you needs to go on decaf, or at least learn how to use a torque wrench.
@@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_ ROFL! Like my dad or grandpa, bro. Clever response, though.
This is a textbook oil change. It's insane how many other videos take it to lightly or too in depth. This is perfection.
Perfection would be using a clean funnel to pour fresh oil into the engine, as opposed to one with visible debris!
Text book oil change lol, using a breaker bar for the drain plug and a dirty funnel lmao
“Oil is cheaper than metal”- Scotty Kilmer
Boom!
It’s def not cheaper
@@Acidburn3141what’s cheaper bozo a new engine or engine oil
scottys driveway in Houston videos never get old.. the legend has spoken!!
I was just saying that when it came on! Things seemed simpler then.
Here i thought i was the only one with a sappy sentimentality for the red garage with a busted door.
I thought he said that they built townhouses there.
At about the 1 minute point as Scott lie on the ground with his dark glasses, for that moment he looks like Peter Sellers in the 1964 movie Doctor Strangelove
Pro tip: check your owners manual. It may actually give you different oil requirements based on the ambient temperature.
Uuuyy
Uuuyy
Are those found in the cubby hole or glove compartment?
True
@@rsbreeze spare tire
I trust Scotty when it comes to cars I wouldn’t dare question him
He’s good cause he’s honest. I don’t know him personally but if he takes the time to make a video to teach us something good that we can all benefit from to me that’s a sign of a good honest man.
@fawn fairy lol he just played with the youtube algorithm😂 genius
Uncle Scotty loves being questioned
You should always question…
@@BeyondLumination
Unless it's a guy in a white lab coat. Never EVER question him. He knows what's best for you
IM OBSESSED WITH SCOTTY VIDEOS! 😅
You always keep the mechanics up to date and well informed and it means alot to all of us.
This Peruvian here really appreciate your very informative and full of knowledge videos )))) Muchas gracias for letting us enjoy and learn at the same time Mr. Scott !!
I always read the owner's manual When it comes to finding out what oil my car needs My old Kia I found out It could take 2 oils But it also depends on climate/where you live My old Kia could take 5w20 and 5w30 But it recommended 5w30 For warmer climates and 5w20 for colder climates I live in California So I used 5W-30
Always make sure the drain plug gasket isnt stuck to the oil pan, dont want to double up on those either.
1:33 😂
Can confirm
I have done over 450 oil changes and had the filter gasket stick to the engine once. The drain plug gasket, never.
Excellent advice, this is the Scotty we love!
Thank you scotty for the constant reminders ! 😀
Keep up the great work Scotty love ya buddy!👍🏻
Fond memories of the old Houston videos I am so old I remember watching Scotty on television
I really enjoy appreciate your channel, your analysis, opinions, and your advice. Thank you!
Great stuff as always Scotty!!💪🏻
My dad used to tell me to put oil on the seal of the new oil filter and I've been doing that for years. Gald to see that it's still being taught and implemented to mechanics watching your channel
Good point. I changed the oil in my Outback last spring. Next oil change, couldn’t understand why filter wouldn’t come off. Then rememberedI didn’t oil the gasket. Eventually got it off with the help of my mechanic cousin.
Yup, dad taught me the same. Also, the absolute fun flathead screwdriver to the filter trick because some shop tightened a filter on too tight. Lol
My step Dad always instructed me as a boy, always wipe the surface before screwing on the filter and drain plug. -Sound advice!
Evening SCOTTY
You are the best! 😊
An essential video for better understanding how to make your car's engine to last longer and run efficiently!
Pay attention and you will save money in car lasting longer and on repairs.
Scotty, I respect your knowledge and passion to share your experience with others. Keep it up, even if it does offend others.
Another great video Scotty, a lot of great info!
You’re the Best Scotty!! I LOVE ALL of your videos. Lay down the law Scotty! I’ve been doing my own oil changes since 1979 when I was the first girl ever in the history of my school to take auto mechanics. But I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos. AWESOME!!
-One thing for sure, when you do a LOF, (lube, oil and filter), you know the job was done right! I call that peace of mind...
Who’s holding Donna now? 😊
I learnt alot from Scotty. before buying a used hybrid, i listened his advice and bought used Honda and saved alot of money. he is helping alot of people and giving best advices.
those luxury car collectors such as Manny Khoshbin should invite you and learn from you.
Great information as always Scotty! Love ya pal
Great video Scotty
Listening to Scotty talk about the oil, reminds me of my😳 high school coach talking about the football plays🤣👍
Very well put together and useful video.
Important and well-presented information. Thanks!!!
I would love to see a breakdown of the better/worse ecoboost v6 engines.
I know the four cylinders are junk, and the earlier v6 models had chain tensioner/guide problems. They made a lot of improvements in 2017(really 2016), 2018, and in 2020 or 2021.
Always like that BA Fan.. Hope Scotty took it with him when he left Houston.
course he did, can't imagine him leaving something like that!
Your right again Scotty, you got the ones that care and maintain their cars properly. You also have the ones that don't have it in mind and scratching their heads on why the cars have problems a couple of years down the road. Unless you bought a lemon in the first place. 😎👍
Hello Scotty, You have just gained a fan from the other end of the continent - Malaysia. Have learned a lot from you
Hey Scotty ,you forgot too mention also that full synthetic oils will make your engine run a little cooler temps as well.😎👍love all the great videos.
Can we please apreciate the fact that Scotty waits for winter just to finish filming his video with snow footage? 🙏💪
True
Solid Info, Scotty you're the Best!
Good work Scotty. Keep it up.
I love when he pops up with a video that was shot in Houston.
Scotty’s voice is so comforting because I watch him every day, it’s like being at home.
Loll
I couldn't agree more. You won't forget his voice, once you've listened awhile.
Truth presented in a very lively and humorous way👏👏
Hey scotty great video as usual
👌🏿👌🏿I’ve started changing my oil every 3 months. March03 june06 September 09 December 12. Easy to remember
How many miles do you drive per year ?
You must not have a working odometer. I always changed mine on the 5,000 mile count. My son goes by 3,000 up to 6,000 then does 4,000 so he can start off at at zero again.
@@Azureecosse about 5 thousand on a 1999 with about 160k miles. Moneys not an issue AT ALL. My pockets will thank me later😌😉
@@dwightmitchell1464 ummm 5k every oil change so 20-25
@@billwilson3609 wow good for you and good for your son!!! I change my oil every 3 months AND take note of how much miles I’m at. I’m no airhead👍🏿
That is a very great oil filter tool I have one and it doesn't fail😉
Thank you!!🦾🦾🤨 Awesome job 🦾🦾🦾😎😎👍👍👍
Some good advice here. I might even try on my 2012 Honda accord euro.
Love your videos Scotty!! 💯
One day I thought let’s see what this guy has to say. It quickly became my go to for learning and I’ve turned all my friends and family onto scotty’s channel. It’s no doubt the place to go when you have any questions
Good video😉love your sense of details👍
Thank you Scotty for a great video!
Just remember “oil is cheap, engines aren’t” - Scotty Kilmer
Words to the wise
For now!
@@larryjensen1388 Engine price can also go up.
It's worse than that. The end of the engine is often the end of the vehicle. It means, buying another vehicle, not buying an installing an engines.
Make sure the car is level so all the oil drains out evenly. Don't just jack up one side unless you have a side exit sump
you can jack it back down while it's draining to get the remainder
I absolutely love your you tube channel you tell it like it is.
evening and thank you!
Great video and explanation.
I love the dedication to wait until it’s cold and snowy, to do a clip on how conventional versus synthetic oil flows. Bravo Mr Kilmer
Or you could read the data sheets online every oil manufacturer puts out their cold flow rate
I have an oil filter wrench that's made out ot a bicycle chain.
Works good, even in tight spaces.
Thank you Scott. I'll remember to put the drain plug back from now on lol
You said “weight you need”. Tssk tssk Scotty! Also love your channel.
No one can compete with this man, he's a true professional and legend
Scoot You are the man 👨
Great Episode!
I love your videos Mr Kilmer! Your awesome!
BIGASS Fan's are a must in
TEXAS !
😆 Always make my day Mr Scotty 👍👍
Literally the name of the fan brand
Scotty the man
Scotty you will work circles around a lot of the youngsters that I know
Been using that filter removal tool for years. Awesome tool.

Good Evening Scotty
evening!
Those oil filter sockets are great. Been using them for well over 20 years now.
In 1974, I bought a 1962 Studebaker Hawk, and started using Chevron Delo 400 oil. It was very high detergent, and after a while it started burning oil. When I took the valve covers off, everything was much cleaner than when I adjusted the valve lifters just after I bought it. I had to rebuild the engine soon after.
Lol loved the tennis reference
SCOTTYS the BEST, I enjoy watching him do his stuff.✌️
I change my oil every 3000 to 5000 never done me wrong, keep up the great vids scotty
Love your videos. They are always so informative thank you. I have a 2012 Suzuki Equator with 90k miles. I've had it now for over a year and i cant say enough how GREAT it runs and how much I like this truck. I've done my oil changes every 3k miles since i've had it. It doest really need it but about to do a break job, front and rear. oaky here is my question: Is it easy and would you change a radiator coolant and this truck. Does it need it? At the time i am writing this, I have checked it. I just thought about it while watching this video. Thank you sir
I put Pennzoil Full Synthetic into my car replacing a Synthetic Blend and my Engine immediately sounded much healthier
Blends have always been a joke to me … like margarine lol .. you can’t get any information on what percentage of mix is used !!! Ect ect ect … ( still can’t believe that anyone would buy it !! ) .. ( I personally believe that it’s just a bad 1/2 step in the wrong direction… ) also I have no faith in STP , back in the day it was not what it claimed to be.. so I don’t mess with it now lol
good ol' Houston Scotty. I been here since right before he moved to Tennessee. Also my Dodge may be going to Rhode Island in a few years.
I wish you were my mechanic! 😩😅 You’re awesome !!
Love the back ground noises.
Regardless of the engine, I always prime the filter with oil.
BAD idea. Too many opportunities to introduce (microscopic) contaminates into the outflow of the filter, and therefore INTO the engine, completely bypassing the functionality of the filter.
If it's pointed upright you are right ✅
your definitely not full of crap Scotty I have learned quite alot from you and have saved alot of money as well being able to do my own repairs so thank you for being a great teacher dude. 😊
I agree with u....
Mushroomhead!!
Great Great video Scotty.
100% thank you Charlie Brown.
"Permanent anti-freeze" - the people who actually bought into that, ruin their cooling system from corrosion. "LIFETIME TRANSMISSION FLUID" - complete the sentence
It’s lifetime fluid alright, the lifetime of the transmission lol
You just don’t get it refers to your car, ir’s not about your lifetime. The so called lifetime of a car is 8 to 10:years.
@@animalmother5902 when something goes bad, just throw it out and buy new one just a couple of bucks.
I had a buddy that was the maintenance planner for a three unit coal-fired electrical generation plant. He showed me catalogs of lubricants that would last the lifetime of any motor vehicle since those would be light-duty applications and their rated lifespan for severe duty use varied from 30,000 to 50,000 hours. Those also were insanely expensive with one synthetic lube running $50,000 for a 30 gallon drum.
@@billwilson3609 $50k for a drum of oil’s pretty cheap compared to a $300M generator/turbine assembly.
I have a degree and automotive and over 20 years of experience. I have worked on everything from jaguars, Ferrari's and maserati. I'm an expert Mercedes Benz technician. & I approve Scottie's message! Well done my man

@@markhartman7939 Google speech function didn't even check it.. Seems like it works pretty terrible these days
@Sblackfll You know one thing to point out actually working for different manufacturers sometimes you'll have have different terminologies for adaptations or Adaptive strategies the computers will run. Different terminologies for limp home mode. And I would explain them differently if I'm talking about a jaguar or a or Mercedes so in in all likelihood maybe You should contrast that with whoever you have worked for .... and maybe that's why you're in disagreement with Mr. Scotty here.
Good to see I'm not the only one who writes the date and mileage on oil filters when changing it. Problem with new cartridge filters though.
There are different colored paint markers you can use for that.
I'm 77..Been changing my own oil since I was 14 and NEVER changed the gasket and NEVER had an issue!!
In my dad‘s race car he has a custom built engine and he had to experiment with different oils to create the proper oil weight for his engine
Mario Andretti said that " STP is the racer's edge!" Old school for sure.
Back in time when my family owned our first car, we hardly ever did an oil change, as the engine would use about one pint every 1000 miles. We would top up the oil in a garage that had a forecourt dispenser; 50 SAE for summer use, and 30 SAE for winter use, So at any one time we would have a mixture of the two in the engine. The pistons then were pure aluminium, and the cylinders were cast iron. Nowadays Chromium Steel is used for the cylinders, and the pistons are made of a harder mixture of metals.
Wow that's amazing. That's why they call new oil SAE 30w-50 for example.
If you used 30 SAE there was nothing you could do about it when the engine reached full temperature. It's thinner. Technology did come a long way and engines are better than ever!
10W-30 and 40 was around in the '60's. Always covered the bases!
I actually started a collection of oil filter removal tools. I dont know why 🤷🏻♂️. I haven’t seen one like Scotty has tho. But now i want one. 👌🏻
That was a very good video. I was wondering what the story with the 0-16 oil was. I think most cars that new are still getting oil changes at the dealer.
Who else ENJOYS changing oil? I enjoy changing all fluids.
I LOVE routine maintenance.............for real. 😐
nothing like a few cold ones when your working on your rig.
@@robertkwiatkoski1292 Yup, friends stop over, it's a good time. A lot of money is saved, and it's done right!
I also enjoy releasing fluids
Scotty as usual you are right on. 😎
Enjoy your videos besafe out there
hello and thanks you too!
Scotty did you move back to Houston looks like the old garage in the background love those videos
That was PHD dissertation on engine OILS. Thank you Prof. Scotty!
As long as the previous owner didn’t replace the oil fill cap from a different model…..
How about a video about the old cars and their oil? This one was great.
I like that spring loaded filter wrench so it stays on filter… nice
