Looks just like my 2012 Honda oddessey under the hood
Thank you so much Sir Scotty for all your excellent video and hard works, you are loved by the millions,
because you care about us, please take good care of yourself and wished you all the best!
😅
Done
Scotty Headline, " I Died and Came Back To Give YOU These Last Three Car Tips."
😂😂😂
😅😅
I disconnected my brain for a half hour and when I reconnected it all my problems had magically gone away. Thanks Scotty! 🙂
"Have you tried turning off and then back on again?"
In that case you owe me money. 😂
That's awesome. I'm glad everything worked out.
Man wasn't it hard to breathe 😂
You too? I thought I was the only one?
Sharing before you retire😮?! ,scotty, never retire please, we need your skills to keep us driving.
Because of you i start working on my own cars, you were riding the black bike on the intro on youtube,so long i watching you, thankyou for all your help, you saved me a hole lot of money
No retiring Scotty! We all need your expertise.
Scotty, I would have cleaned the Positive terminal before hooking up New Battery...
He forgot 😁
I found to put some Vaseline on the gas cap will seat it better and doesn't require a new cap. Also O-ring lubricant works.
Why in the world didn't you "clean" that Battery Terminal/Connect....?
Scotty for life 👍 your expertise is what makes you evolve long live scotty🙏
I work on my car and do chores while listening to scotty and its so entertaining. Keeps me laughing.
Thank you for the updates and information. God bless you and your family.😊
What COMPUTER ARE you using and how much and how do you connect it to the ca r ? Thanks good information sir.
Happy retirement! 🎉You paid your dues.
I love those older Acuras, super fun to drive.
I've actually found that the penetration oil FREEALL will clean the rings and stop the oil burning by cleaning the control ring....I've done it on multiple 2.4 honda and 2.4 toyota engines sometimes it doesn't stop the burning but does ALWAYS SLOW THE BURNING I've used this many times for cleaning the intake valves of the audi/vw engines works like magic
Can you provide a realistic top 10 fav cars to get for reliability generally speaking
I remember the older cars would run forever if we changed the oil regularly.
1:06 neighbors wondering what that guy from Texas is doing!!
1:05. Scotty is starting to attract a live audience.
I think that was the owner and friends
They all live in the car
They live in the car....why there's pillows in the back
@@mrgarrison3516we don’t live in the car don’t assume. we took a road trip to see him
@@anamtz804
I should of write 'Sleep' in the car not 'live'🤦.
Pyjamas + pillows
I'm wondering if that old Interstate battery is manufactured by Exide? I often had problems with various brands of batteries made by Exide that leak around terminals and eat up connectors.
I know they make some for Interstate. I have one in one green Interstate battery of my cars and so far it hasn't leaked.
Scotty can you do a video on the 2021 Hyundai Santa fe, my wife and i just bought one used 50,000 miles on it, and want to know what you think? Thanks
I'm starting to wonder if Scotty likes CVT's or not? 🤷
Don't retire. We all learn so much from your videos
I use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage in my wife's and son's car, they burn a little oil but less than a quart every 6 months when I do the change.
If you have an evap code you can't get rid of and it's inspection time, fill the tank and then reset the codes. Then drive it around for a day or two. Keep the tank near full, it has to stay over 85% full. The other monitors will complete and evap will be the only one to show as not ready, and the light will be off. Then get it inspected. almost all inspections allow one monitor to be not ready.
Which scanner do you use bro
On ANY vehicle you buy new or used, check those battery connections. If it's used clean them, do what you need to keep power to the car but clean the terminals and the connectors, replace them and then either BUY spray on protectant or get some vaseline, put it in a metal cup and heat it on the stove, with a torch, whatever till it's liquid and pour it over the connections. Especially on motorcycles where usually it's burried under the seat or in a closed battery box and you might not see the corrosion starting.
It won't corrode at all then.
My battery terminals never corroded... 😂😂😂 even after 22 years. 😅
even back then pulling the battery can be a real pain since you might have to put in code for the radio and reprogram all the settings on everything.
i would clean the terminal and battery and put some sealer on it to prevent corrosion.
I just replaced the alternator in my ‘93 Toyota a few days ago and it took me a few minutes to read the owner’s manual so could figure out (again) how to reset the anti-theft code for the radio! I doubt it will ever get stolen at that point! At least, all other presets radio remained.
honda gives you a little card with number and if it gets lost you have to jump through hoops and pay dealer to fix it it was a 2000 thing to stop radio theft @@PhilRacicot
God Bless 😊
What do you think of the Nissan Versa S with the 5 speed manual?
You should have cleaned the connectors Scotty!
I currently live in Georgia. In the 8 years I've lived here they've never done emissions testing. No inspection sticker either.
What do you think about super tech oil from wal mart?
I had a 1967 Impala with a straight 6 it used so much oil I used recycled oil and checked the gas once in a while had a broken motor mount so I chained it down
Scotty, we need more hand gestures.
It uses a lot of oil for 168,00 miles.I hope he got a good deal. My Dodge has that many miles and has no discernable oil usage at all.
Can someone please give me the gist of what this meandering wheezing is about? Thanks.
Scotty you crack me up 😂😂😂
You should never grab a battery by the terminals. I was tightening a battery cable to the terminal (not overtightening) and the terminal came off. It caused an internal spark and boom. I was okay and learned. The battery didn't make it.
from battery manufacturer(s): "Whether they are located on the top or side of a battery, battery terminals should be treated very carefully and never be used to lift, move, carry or secure a battery."
I have a question can someone help me why is my indicator comming on when brake pedal is pressed(right indicator)
Hey Thanks
I love your work, in the end basically just good practical advice with a good dab of experience. May I suggest something. For years (20?) when changing batteries we clean terminals and then give the posts and connectors a quick coating of “Fluidfilm” this is a Lanolin based spray that lubes but never, I mean never drys out or cracks up. The end result is you do not get any corrosion on battery terminals period! I’m talking 5-7, years life of the battery time frames. The terminal will dust over and just remain like that for ever period! I’m thinking that it may well extend the life of a well maintained battery also. As the saying goes “Try it you’ll like it”
Hondas of this period are known for battery problems. Doesn't suprise me with rhis car. They even had battery sensir recall. Nice vehicle though.
My new voswagenfactory battery died in less than 4.5 years...
During the edit, when the dull stuff got cut out, I’m guessing the battery terminal scrubbing got scrubbed. Before the edit that red vanity cap was on the connector, and the connector looked very lackluster. After the edit the red cap was off and the connector looked nice and shiny. I’m guessing a mention of cleaning the battery connector got chopped out in the edit, also. Or it was never in the script in the first place, one or the other.
I always pull the negative on my battery because i hate seeing the check engine light and i know its just the evap code 😂
Funny thing about Castrol oil.. It's Penzoil with an added additive. How do I know this? Castrol is right next door to Penzoil's refinery plant on the Ohio river.
Personally I prefer Valvoline or Pennzoil. My cousin works as a subcontractor for Pennzoil.
I like Mobil
@@astafford8865 Mobil 1?
Pennzoil is owned by Shell, Castrol is owned by BP.
@@seanwestervelt7503 Yup. My main point was that Castrol only bought processed oil from Pennzoil and added their "patented additive" to it, until 2002 when British Petroleum purchased Castrol. To which, I don't use Castrol.
Shell plc (Royal Dutch Petroleum) acquired Pennzoil-Quaker State company, also in 2002, to market its products as two separate motor oil brands (same process), Pennzoil and Quaker State (Pennsylvania is the "Quaker State" founded by the religious sect, "The Quakers"). Yet, both products are refined into motor oil and are the same.
Back in the late 80s and through the 90s Shell was known as dirty gas that created sludge in carburetors in cars.
Many tests were done when lead was taken out of gasoline on major petroleum brands. Now we've got the ethenol problem to deal with on the fuel system and newer fuel deliveries in vehicles.
Whereas, British Petroleum bought Bermah-Castrol because of their additive. Castrol never has and never sid use their own oil, they just added their patented additive, whatever that is, to oil they purchased from Pennzoil. They both, Pennzoil/Shell & Castrol/BP are literally divided by a fenced property right next door to each other.
I like Super Tech 🤩
Our 09 TSX still runs beautifully.
Engine rebuilt by Honda?
3:53 people have to buy tires periodically. Why not put new tire pressure sensors in then when the tires have to be remounted anyway?
Thanks Scotty I really appreciate it😊
@scottykilmer exactly how much does it cost to reTIRE?
Which one is Scotty?
Thanks Scotty✨
Why do my brakes squeak the first time I drive the car for the day? They only make noise for 2 or 3 minutes.
Battery reset, very nice, thanks Scotty.
I bought a brand new battery for my 2011 honda crv lx from the dealership, brought it home, installed it, and once I pulled the cover off to inspect for the distilled water, it was only 1/3 left. I called the dealership and let them know to check all of the batteries before they sell them to the customers.
Lesson, never simply install the battery, if it is not totally sealed and it has distilled water, always inspect it and top it off.
My new battery would have probably died in less than a week had I not topped of the distilled water.
Does this only happen to the brand new batteries? Far from it, many times consumers will hurry to replace the battery when the car will not start and take them back failing to check for distilled water. Even auto shops do not check them when they take or test the batteries. They need to be periodically checked and topped of with the distilled water. Especially in the warmer area they evaporate faster.
YKM
dump 1/3 and top up ..lean concentration for longevity
Whatta ya mean? You mean suck 1 third of the water out, then fill?...
@@adamxenon829or dump all to container .. fill back aroun half the cell high .. charge 5 to 10 hours.. then fill with destiled water.. you can save the unused h2so4 for later use.
Sheesh. Didn’t even clean the connector off of the corrosion. That’s why I do my work myself
I get company's need cutoffs for rework..but damn
In 2006 I purchased a new Acura TSX with a k24 (2.4l) with a 6 speed manual. The only issue I had was the power steering pump went at 150k. The dealer wanted $400 to replace it. I purchased one for $100 and installed it myself. At 185k (mostly highway), I gave the car to my son. He drive it for a year, put on 20k, and then traded it for an Accord. It still had the original clutch (205k miles), and never burned any oil. I used Mobil1 and changed it every 5k. It was one of the best cars I ever owned.
I started using Fluid film spray on battery terminals. Air can't get to them to corrode works great
I actually liked the emission testing in TN. Yeah, it was a pain when you failed and either had to get it fixed or go to a mechanic that would tune your car so that it would pass and then put it back the way it was when you were done, but there are good things about it besides reducing pollution, which I'm all for. It was really useful when you were buying a used car and using a service like Carfax. You not only knew that it passed emission testing the previous year, but it also helped you verify that the mileage was correct. I feel like now that we don't have that paper trail, used car buying will be riskier.
Definitely. Buying a used car from a state with yearly inspection requirements decreases (not eliminates!) the chances it'll be garbage. Like you wrote, it also leaves a paper trail.
I had the same car (2009 - standard transmission) that started using oil. I replaced the PVC valve with OE valve that reduce the oil usage to about a quart every 7,500 miles. Unfortunately the axle got loose in the transmission. I had to junk at 212,000 miles after the front wheel came off driving into a parking lot. Overall good car with original engine, transmission, clutch and alternator. Most expense repair was replacing the starter ($725). Mechanic indicated that he could have the replace the loose axle ($630), but it was 50/50 whether that would fixed the problem. The inside transmission might be broken? I probably should have had the transmission oil drained to see if there were any metal shavings inside?
Good info 😊
Burning a qt of oil every 1000 miles? I bet that's fun to follow down the road.
There is no difference in oils with the same viscosity and API rating. I had a customer who complained that his truck burned oil after I did the oil change. Ford required 10W30 and it turned out he had been using 40W tractor oil in it. Surprise surprise. Using an extremely heavy viscosity oil did in fact slow down it's burn rate but that's because the engine was worn slam out to begin with.
Scotty, you will be doing this show from the nursing home, going over visitors cars; and doing a video from a wheelchair.😃
Thanks Scotty!
You can still get a decent 12v from Costco for $120-$150
Yeah the auto parts store is the absolute last place to buy batteries, total ripoff
Thanks Scotty, you're the best.
When I was in a career auto mechanics program in the 70s, our teacher swore by Castrol oil.
You didn't clean the power cable before putting it on. You said before you took battery out it was corroded... slipping up scotty.
I tried to share mine before I retired, and my wife dumped me. 😂🎉😅
RIP, Sad news for Scotty fans
Ahh a BRUCE WILLIS BATTERY DIEHARD
So you are going to retire well I wish you the best in your retirement journey
Sadly, I don't consider a 2010 an "old" car!😁
SHHH ! Don't tell anyone !
I have to share this secret before I go to bed
CVT is more efficient than a=Auto, which translates to saving money on fuel. I have manuals trans, aust trans and now my ist CVT. I like the CVTs smoothness & even in echo mode, it gains overall acceleration over full automatics. However I agree about all electronic crap in modern cars. Electricals is the most unreliable componant in cars. Why then have we put electronics between the driver and the mechanical operation of the car? why is the handbrake a switch & actuator instead of a mechanical linkage? I really hate that, its a recipe increased failures & frequent expensive repairs....... Back in the 70s, I did all of my own servicing & repairs. Now I can do nothing at all even if I wanted too or had too for ecconomic reasons. Seems to me, technology should serve us not us serve it.
This sure is easier than working though...
After watching Scotty's videos I made sure my Highlander I bought had the V6 and 8 speed auto tranny. Thanks Scotty.
I love CVT transmissions ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I have a 2017 Nissan Rogue with CVT and love it. I got scared after I read all of the horror stories on them and Nissan did settle a class action lawsuit on them, but I think as long as you treat them gently and change the transmission fluid every 20-30k miles, they can do fine. They even simulate the gears shifting now for those people that didn't like the "motorboat" sound they used to make.
Standard transmission are way better. They are more robust and I know what gear I'm in.. 😉
@Dazlidorne yeah... crap cvts... needs babysitting. 😂
@@Dazlidorne My cousin has a 2014 Rogue and her transmission failed when she came to visit me 6 years ago, she didn’t even make it here, I had to pick her up at a service station next to the highway and she had her car towed from there as it would barely move on it’s own. Her car had 57k… It cost her $3500k to have it rebuilt.
I assume Uber Eats as i don't think you can use that old of a vehicle to pick up customers.
did he really just reconnect the + terminal full of corrosion onto the new battery?
Mobil 1 synthetic ✅😁 instant better gas mileage
Scotty, is there a way to tell if someone had used head gasket sealer before selling a vehicle?
Excellent video, Thank You Mr. Kilmer for sharing your knowledge.
from battery manufacturer(s): "Whether they are located on the top or side of a battery, battery terminals should be treated very carefully and never be used to lift, move, carry or secure a battery."
ITS ALIVE!!!!! My rolling pile of junk Cub Cadet is running! Of course I had to bang on the starter because the Bendix spring was stuck, started acting up right away, with the roaming governor; but there is a sweet spot between rabbit and turtle that sustains operation. 3 years old. Complete piece of CRAP!!!!
Thanks scotty you`ve gave me full confidence ... at times ........ 🙂🙂🙂👍
Some cars will have to relearn the idle and stall on some stops for a couple of drives.
I just had a faulty battery and I drove with it for a couple months. Probably had to jump start it with my jumper like 20 times at least. Eventually right before I replaced it the fuel gauge started giving wrong readings. Got a new battery now and it's slowly getting more accurate by the day but it's still a little wonky. It's kind of Lucky though the way it turned out is empty is at about the empty Mark now. Instead of 70 or 80 miles Beyond it which it used to be.
2:40 how can a car 'run perfectly fine' when it burns excessive oil & trips catalytic converter codes 🤷
I think he means it idles fine and doesn’t hesitate or drive weird still shifts good. Just burns oil
Yoo a quart of oil every 1000 miles is alot😄
You can't necessarily feel it burning oil. He's just talking about the feel. Like, you wouldn't know there was anything wrong with it just by driving. Plus lots of old cars burn oil, it's not really unexpected, and almost never worth fixing
@@FriedGreenCarrotsthat is a lot though Jesus. I go 1000 miles every week or so doing Uber eats
If I had a car that burns that much oil, I wouldn't be complimenting it in any other way.
It like saying my gf has HIV & herpes but she's really good in bed 🤷
I'm always keeping a lookout for a good used car if one shows up but I'm really kind of leery about buying a used Acura and the reason is because a lot of owners really beat on them hard. That and you just don't know if they've maintained it properly or even at all. That just makes me kind of shy away from them.
Of course, you can disconnect your battery then use it to shock the entire auto industry.
Good Ole Scotty. Got him going on 2 devices🤠👍
No all coutys in Georgia have emissions testing. Am in Gordon county nothing.
You had to call an emergency break didn’t you come on? You know it’s a parking break.
In the sixties, we’d put Castrol racing oil in with the gas in our Triumph motorcycles. Just for the smell! Still using Castrol.
Thank you for the time you have put into talking with us over the past few years!
Scotty where's the secret 😮
Bro retired 10 years ago 😂😂
He has. He just reads codes and calls everything junk now. Happy retirement 10 years ago.
*But what was the secret?*
Scotty is rev up my engine like you said and it broke. Fix it or i will sue
Do all these cars/trucks in Tennessee running no cats,exhaust etc. Stink like hell when u druve behind them?
