Scotty your awesome man. I’m 40 years old so I’m not older yet but being 40 now uncle jokes are officially hilarious to me now. But joking aside I saw your cat and the little furball looked a lot like my Buttons had him for 13 years he was poisoned on February 27th. He died shortly after. Broke my heart. I miss him so much. But you seem like you’re a really cool guy. I hope you and your wife have a lovely day. God bless y’all.
Ways to Make a Vehicle Last Forever: 1. Change oil at regular intervals, 2. Run gas additive (I like Lucas Upper Cylinder Cleaner) periodically to keep injectors and valves clean, and 3. Don't let your 20 yr. old granddaughter drive it.
@@sammypotpie In her defense, she’s very good about keeping on top of fluids and tire pressure. She just drives like her grandmother, the Little Old Lady from Pasadena!
@jimtownsend7899 Didn't you hear what Scottie said about GDI engines? If Gas don't go over the valves to clean them then gas additives won't work either.
I second this. My engine burns a quart every 1,000 miles. It gets fresh oil every week with my work schedule. I end up buying 2 jugs of oil every time. 1 for change, 1 for fill up
A HUGELY important thing that has kept all of my cars running well for soo many year's are Scotty's UA-cam videos! Ive learned and saved so much over the years! Huge thanks Scotty!!! 😎👍👍
The cat at 5:04 was like "I don't think so!" The thing with the now old Houston videos was the sweat. I would not want to spend a summer in Houston. But the one thing that I've found that can really avoid a lot of problems and make a car last longer is just by simply changing the engine oil and transmission fluid on a regular basis.
Just started watching your videos and Man I’ve really enjoyed your charisma and knowledge! I’m a tech 38 years and I really appreciate a great guy in our business, keep going Man!! 👊🏼✌🏼🍻
Scotty, I have a 2016 Kia Soul 2.0L GDI that I bought new. I've had it 8 years now, and 90K miles on it as of yesterday. I do this process about every 15K miles. Yes you're telling your followers correctly, carbon builds up on the valves. However, folks need to be careful doing this process. Reason being is there is no place for the broken up carbon to go but fall down into the the top of the piston. If big chuncks of carbon that get get broken up from the cleaner can get lodged into the piston rings. This can scar/gouge the cylinder walls. So this process should be done on more regular basis. Not just when having major valve problems low horsepower, idling bad. At that point, the intake would and head would need to be pulled and walnut shell blasting done to remove the coke/carbon off the valves.
You're 100% right. I've seen people recommend engine flushes to people with baked oil/sludge in their engine from years of neglect. Same problem, where will the debris go? Even after a proper engine flush, changing the oil, etc. You can still have things turn loose. As you stated, it's always best to do these things as preventative maintenance to prevent a problem rather than fix one.
Makes sense, thanx for sharing. I used the CRC GDI cleaner on our 2011 KIA Sportage 2.0 litre turbo about 100 000KM (250 000KM total) after the engine was replaced on a recall. About 2000KM after that I started having a very small emissions leak problem, change pressure control valve and was good for another 2000KM and same issue (code) came back again. So since we nolonger have emissions testing in Ontario my mechanic played it down to nothing but I was not a fan of driving around in a vehicle with a check engine light on, so I needed up going to the KIA dealership for a check up. When there they discovered that big pieces of carbobuild up had started the issue and also that my mechanic had used an after market solenoid (pressure control valve). They replaced it with an OEM part and I was advised to run a cat cleaner as my O2 sensor was clogged with gunk from possibly the valve cleaner I had used. 15000KM later no issues.
You're the BEST Scotty!!! nothing better than HONESTY and letting the world know Dealerships are corrupt, greedy A holes that Don't deserve our money!! Keep on being the BEST Car UA-camr on the Planet!!!
@@davidnovak9159 I know it’s pcv. Sometimes when I’m typing, my iPhone is trying hard to change my words and spelling, and I miss things sometimes. PCV to PVC is one of the hardest ones to catch.😁
@@fromthebackofmymind Actually the steel ball is moving around and will wear enough to change the spec after so many miles. I just changed one on a 2003 Honda that had a spring in it instead of a ball. The spring was broke, and the front seal and oil pan gasket blew out from the pressure. It’s not wise to not change something so inexpensive.
If you want key components of your vehicle to function properly, usually with a longer life span, go with Genuine OEM parts or better. There are some aftermarket parts that are a well engineered upgrade from OEM, specifically designed for a particular car (i.e. the company 'Killer B' only makes aftermarket upgrade parts for Subaru vehicles, well known in the tuner community). Just do your homework and don't cheap out on important parts.
Thanks Scotty for your sage advice. Q - Do you recommend a stand alone fitted temp sensor alarm. In Australia it’s called Engine Guard and costs about $80US.
I can assure you all with GDI engines clean them valves once a year. I waited 3 and put a fuel system treatment in my tank while using the intake valve clean. After doing darn near close to everything Scottie said (I followed the STP can) I got a code. The P0420 code (catalytic converter not working properly). Ran an cleaner that specifically clears the code (cleans the catalytic converter) and I was on my way. When you wait to clean them Intake valve once your car detects the catalytic converter running 5 or more % less efficient it triggers the code. In my case I cleaned (blew off a lot) off carbon build up.
One main thing to keep your car running is to always change your oil every 3000-5000 miles. I just helped a gentleman’s 2013 Accord with 333k miles is a good example
The interval depends on the oil you use, and your engine. Full synthetic lasts longer and they have extended life variants of that too that claim 15k miles, but I'd limit that to 10k miles. Oils used to be a lot worse and that's why we changed our oil at 3k intervals. AAA has done extensive testing on oils. I've seen it first hand myself. Now, if you burn a lot of oil, that's different because your oil is getting dirty faster. That's the engine part.
My 1993 Accord had 472K miles on it when it was stolen, and still did 90 on the freeway with the air conditioning blowing cold. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Unfortunately the guy who stole it rolled it and absolutely destroyed it.
Absolute nonsense, fully synthetic oil is good for 10k miles and modern engines do not need an oil change every 3k miles like they did way back in yesteryear. This obsession with changing your oil every 3k comes from when engines and oil were not as well made as they are today, it’s a marketing ploy that has played into your mind. Your car owners manual will never say 3k but most likely 10k or once year.
Friend of mine who is a Ford Tech says this stuff not good for turbochargers. Says can damaged the seals in them. It may not but I don't want to risk it since my Explorer has 2 of them.
You guys are ridiculous with Toyotas .....Honda, Mazda and old Ford's ...all mine have gone well over 300k and ran good when I sold them to get something else...but, Ive worked on cars for 20 years ,and I actually maintain mine...
This video was perfect timing for me, my son has a 2015 Outback with that near stalling issue. We changed out the air filter which wasn't bad but I ordered that 505 CRF stuff as well. We did a throttle body cleaning not too long ago but I may check that again as well. Thanks, Scotty!
Good day Scotty, I consistently consult your videos whenever I encounter automotive challenges. This is because I have unwavering confidence in your expertise and integrity. Your guidance has proven invaluable, and I appreciate your commitment to providing accurate and reliable information. Thank you for your continued contributions to the automotive community.

I recently went in for a new inspection sticker to my local Ford dealership. Car needed a side marker light and a third brake light. They called saying the third brake light would be like 286.00 and the side marker light would be 220.00 for just over 500 dollars. I asked him was he a doctor, cause thats hospital prices. Told them i would fix it myself. I spent around 55 dollars for the parts and around 15 to 20 minutes changing both of them. Ridiculous.
Surprised you overlooked this so here’s a suggestion for when you have an intermittent stalling at idle only issue with a 100k+ mile car . Since you already found a dirty air filter is to take 10mins to clean the throttle body & throttle plate with the appropriate throttle body cleaner which can also cause intermittent idle issue. If after doing the above along with your fuel system cleaner doesn’t fix the int stall at idle issue I’d next chk the TPS. Also,maybe a sticky EGR at idle causing to stall too, Happy motoring from Scott in ny.
These new Automatic Trans "Dialysis Machines" that cycle, measure, and filter the fluid at that major service interval are a trip! I got Toyota CVT FE fluid for my 2016 Corolla LE. I know that the volume changes based on temperature. I ate the cost on the Toyota FE fluid because the new machines (I had a shop do it for accuracy) have their own proprietary fluid. I was a little shaky on them using a NON-TOYOTA fluid, but the dealerships in this neck of Nor Cal use this special fluid that works with these new-fangled ATF/CVT transmission fluid service operations.
Damn Scotty u make everything look so easy. When i opened my car hood i start to cry. Cause i dont know want wrong with car. I would keep driving until the car break down and it would cause me more money to fix.
Did the GDI cleaning on a 2016 Hyundai with about 90,000 km. I don’t think it was ever done. The cloud of grey smoke that came out the exhaust was epic!
Pcv should be routed to the rear of the vehicle where it gets dumped into a catch can that has an electric pump routed to under the back bumper where it can be activated via switch near the driver when someone rides your bumper on the highway.
You should have exhaust system cleaner in the tank before starting to carbon clean to reduce the risk of displaced carbon burning holes in the catalyst. I strongly agree about the temperature gauge, they should at very least be required to have a 3 light indicator (green, yellow, red) to be allowed to sell it in the US
Scotty great as always, my transmition in my 2006 hyundai sonata started slipping when hot and at 177000 i decided to replace it with a low mileage one since the 4 cylinders running great and the cars in great shape. Most likrly it could be the convertor so a trans swap. Found a great buick 3.8 one owner with 120000 miles and like new.
Hey Scotty, I really enjoy your videos. They are addictive 😊. Question for you, I have a 2022 Acura MDX (latest model) that is coming off lease after three years. It’s been a great car with zero problems. Of course it has a Honda 6cyl engine and 35K miles. I’m thinking I will buy it at lease end and plan to drive it for the next 7 years. In your opinion Is that smart or a mistake?? Keep up the good work.
You had better think twice about using valve cleaner on an engine with a lot of miles that is ready to be rebuilt. Sometimes carbon deposits actually help seal valves and when you start spraying this stuff it cleans all the deposits up and now you have a very noisy engine. I did this around 1983 on a 66 Pontiac Lemans 326 c.i. What a mistake that was! I ended up with a lot of valve noise and decreased performance. Lessons learned.
fyi about crc intake valve cleaner, after the heat soak, expect billowing clouds of white smoke to come out of the tail pipe for the first mile or so !
Can vouch for CRC GDI Intake Valve Cleaner. That stuff does the job. Just not instantly. Few days after use you will notice it. It's 30 diesel fuel and 20% PEA. I swear the diesel does the trick. No oil consumption for a 1,000km after that either. However, I'd use it for maintenance. If you engine has heavy build up, best to get it mechanically cleaned by walnut blasting then use CRC at every oil change to help prevent more build up. CRC won't take it all out and it'll all gather up again pretty quick.
My 98' Sienna runs so well with 170k miles, I would have to hunt for a pcv value. My idle air valve needs cleaning. She cold high idles for too long. And the transmission jerks into gear more often after my 3.0 is hot because the idle air valve is dirty like it is. It effects the transmission kick down that is located on throttle body.
I got a ute when I was 18/19 that had just over 100,000km on it. Diesel turbo 4 cylinder. I changed the oil every 5000km, has 250,000km still drives the same. Unfortunately, the car was from a car renting agency, and they didn't care much for the service history of the car. Often missing services from 15,000 to 25,000 without any evidence of an oil change. It's really such a shame.. fortunately, only had to recently replace the head and sump gaskets. FYI, it's a 4jh1 isuzu engine.
Hey Scotty what do you think about additives you can buy directly at the pump? It pumps through the gas pump while fueling up, you can get weekly monthly or even high mileage yearly fuel additives added to your fuel
I have question. Is there a way that I check for used car history , such as if it's salvage, flood etc. With out paying for it. Some sites looks suspicious
I have a 2005 Mazda truck 2300 B. Do you think this is an old truck. Retired, I really do not want to buy another vehicle. I really try to review your programs. Thanks, Lisa
Well done, no matter how well you maintain your engine not all of them will last a long time. Many engines won't make it to 100K, because those vehicle are junk to start with. Most Toyota and Honda vehicles will last a long time if maintained correctly. Beauty covers serve a purpose, they dampen engine noise, and keep rodents from chewing on wires. I just vacuumed at ton of whirly birds from the trees from under the cover.
Scotty I bought a 17 Subaru Forester with 70k miles for a work vehicle the dealership in my area says to never change the CVT fluid......it's already 7 years old and 70k miles old. All fluid degrades correct? Is there something I don't know.
For an old 2007 Ford Fusion 2.3L Duratec 4 cylinder, the PCV valve is a scheduled maintenance item, but to replace it, the intake manifold needs to be removed... it's BURIED in there!
3 things to make your engine last forever-1.Not a Chrysler. 2. Not a Euro. 3. It's a non turbo Toyota.-Scotty Kilmer 2024 I'll agree with 1/3 of that. Seriously, do your research for your vehicle and unless it's a Euro trash or a Chrysler 2.7, there are specific "maintenance" procedures to make the vehicle last.
These people....the only thing the think lasts is a Toyota...because half of them don't know anything about cars, and don't maintain them right, and they break down. Chrysler, Hyundai, kia...bmw, Benz, new Chevys... junk....even today.. Honda, Mazda, old Ford's, older Toyota.....those are the best ones. All of mine have had well over 300k when I sold them to get something else, and still ran good. But, I've worked on cars for 20 years, and I maintain mine ...

Told them i would fix it myself. I spent around 55 dollars for the parts and around 15 to 20 minutes changing both of them. Ridiculous.

Don't leave UA-cam Scotty your videos are the best.!
In that ecoboost the water pump is under the timing chain and sealed to oul rather than outside air.
Surprised you overlooked this so here’s a suggestion for when you have an intermittent stalling at idle only issue with a 100k+ mile car . Since you already found a dirty air filter is to take 10mins to clean the throttle body & throttle plate with the appropriate throttle body cleaner which can also cause intermittent idle issue. If after doing the above along with your fuel system cleaner doesn’t fix the int stall at idle issue I’d next chk the TPS. Also,maybe a sticky EGR at idle causing to stall too,
Happy motoring from Scott in ny.
GREAT JOB Scotty..keep it up...!
I've recently wirnessed a first generation prius with 420k miles and ran like new. It's pretty amazing if you think about it.
wow
You’re the Man Scotty. Thank you Sir.
Scotty the Man🎉
These new Automatic Trans "Dialysis Machines" that cycle, measure, and filter the fluid at that major service interval are a trip! I got Toyota CVT FE fluid for my 2016 Corolla LE. I know that the volume changes based on temperature. I ate the cost on the Toyota FE fluid because the new machines (I had a shop do it for accuracy) have their own proprietary fluid. I was a little shaky on them using a NON-TOYOTA fluid, but the dealerships in this neck of Nor Cal use this special fluid that works with these new-fangled ATF/CVT transmission fluid service operations.
Damn Scotty u make everything look so easy. When i opened my car hood i start to cry. Cause i dont know want wrong with car. I would keep driving until the car break down and it would cause me more money to fix.
This channel gives so much value!Anybody with a vehicle to their name should be subscribed
Did the GDI cleaning on a 2016 Hyundai with about 90,000 km. I don’t think it was ever done. The cloud of grey smoke that came out the exhaust was epic!
Pcv should be routed to the rear of the vehicle where it gets dumped into a catch can that has an electric pump routed to under the back bumper where it can be activated via switch near the driver when someone rides your bumper on the highway.
You must be agent 003-1/2.

*remember* to ring that bell 👌😂
Scotty is such a gem
You should have exhaust system cleaner in the tank before starting to carbon clean to reduce the risk of displaced carbon burning holes in the catalyst.
I strongly agree about the temperature gauge, they should at very least be required to have a 3 light indicator (green, yellow, red) to be allowed to sell it in the US
My dad does frequent basic maintenance, oil change, tune up and don’t let gas tank get below 1/4. He still owns a 2000Jeep with Aton of mileage.
Nice snap-on tools Scotty
0:53 whoa whoa, Scotty!
Scotty great as always, my transmition in my 2006 hyundai sonata started slipping when hot and at 177000 i decided to replace it with a low mileage one since the 4 cylinders running great and the cars in great shape. Most likrly it could be the convertor so a trans swap. Found a great buick 3.8 one owner with 120000 miles and like new.
Thanks for the info. Great show
👋😎💨 Bryan
Thanks Scotty. It's easy to forget the little things and look for the elephant in the room.
Induction cleanin ive used water and it was used as such by techs for years
Hey Scotty, I really enjoy your videos. They are addictive 😊. Question for you, I have a 2022 Acura MDX (latest model) that is coming off lease after three years. It’s been a great car with zero problems. Of course it has a Honda 6cyl engine and 35K miles. I’m thinking I will buy it at lease end and plan to drive it for the next 7 years. In your opinion Is that smart or a mistake??
Keep up the good work.
transmission fluid every 30 k miles and no more. the MDX has always had transmission issues. other than that solid car.
You had better think twice about using valve cleaner on an engine with a lot of miles that is ready to be rebuilt. Sometimes carbon deposits actually help seal valves and when you start spraying this stuff it cleans all the deposits up and now you have a very noisy engine. I did this around 1983 on a 66 Pontiac Lemans 326 c.i. What a mistake that was!
I ended up with a lot of valve noise and decreased performance.
Lessons learned.
How many miles did you have on it?
@K_S536 Too long ago to remember.
Well over 100,000. Cars didn't accumulate many miles like they do today
Hey Scotty i think you made a pcv valve video already. I remember looking it up awhile back ago when i did it for my k20 engine.
haha couldn't you tell that was him from like 15 years ago spliced in?
We appreciate you Scotty!
fyi about crc intake valve cleaner, after the heat soak, expect billowing clouds of white smoke to come out of the tail pipe for the first mile or so !
scotty's the best thats all there is to it.
Yes
Thanks again, Scotty.
Appreciate the info sir.
Can vouch for CRC GDI Intake Valve Cleaner. That stuff does the job. Just not instantly. Few days after use you will notice it. It's 30 diesel fuel and 20% PEA. I swear the diesel does the trick. No oil consumption for a 1,000km after that either.
However, I'd use it for maintenance. If you engine has heavy build up, best to get it mechanically cleaned by walnut blasting then use CRC at every oil change to help prevent more build up. CRC won't take it all out and it'll all gather up again pretty quick.
True Scotty
Clean oil and a light foot will serve you well.
My 98' Sienna runs so well with 170k miles, I would have to hunt for a pcv value. My idle air valve needs cleaning. She cold high idles for too long. And the transmission jerks into gear more often after my 3.0 is hot because the idle air valve is dirty like it is. It effects the transmission kick down that is located on throttle body.
I got a ute when I was 18/19 that had just over 100,000km on it. Diesel turbo 4 cylinder.
I changed the oil every 5000km, has 250,000km still drives the same.
Unfortunately, the car was from a car renting agency, and they didn't care much for the service history of the car. Often missing services from 15,000 to 25,000 without any evidence of an oil change. It's really such a shame.. fortunately, only had to recently replace the head and sump gaskets.
FYI, it's a 4jh1 isuzu engine.
Idc how old these vids pop up. You are legendary anyhow I see it lol
Cd changer plus paddle shifters is wild
I miss the road draft tube. You could always tell when the car ahead of you had bad rings or needed a valve job.
Hey Scotty what do you think about additives you can buy directly at the pump? It pumps through the gas pump while fueling up, you can get weekly monthly or even high mileage yearly fuel additives added to your fuel
good afternoon Boss, im your Big fan , (just buy my 1st car 2005 rx 330 , 152000m , ) learning a lot from you , i wish my house near by you ;)
I have question. Is there a way that I check for used car history , such as if it's salvage, flood etc. With out paying for it. Some sites looks suspicious
I have a 2005 Mazda truck 2300 B. Do you think this is an old truck.
Retired, I really do not want to buy another vehicle.
I really try to review your programs. Thanks, Lisa
The 2015 Outbacks have temp guages on them Scotty.
Well done, no matter how well you maintain your engine not all of them will last a long time. Many engines won't make it to 100K, because those vehicle are junk to start with. Most Toyota and Honda vehicles will last a long time if maintained correctly. Beauty covers serve a purpose, they dampen engine noise, and keep rodents from chewing on wires. I just vacuumed at ton of whirly birds from the trees from under the cover.
With mine...... spray it in until the engine stalls (then let it sit)
I have an old truck I barely use. It takes me years to reach the oil change mileage. Should I change it every few years or yearly?
Scotty I bought a 17 Subaru Forester with 70k miles for a work vehicle the dealership in my area says to never change the CVT fluid......it's already 7 years old and 70k miles old. All fluid degrades correct? Is there something I don't know.
Scott can I spray this directly in the 3inch filter vaccum line on top of motor .
For an old 2007 Ford Fusion 2.3L Duratec 4 cylinder, the PCV valve is a scheduled maintenance item, but to replace it, the intake manifold needs to be removed... it's BURIED in there!
Good work scotty been here for years 🫡
Scottykilmer, will that fuel system cleaner hurt turbo engines? And does it clean injectors as well?
How often should you valve-clean a GDI engine? Every 50k miles?
I heard when you clean carbon from escape ecoboost that it can go thru the turbo charger and cause problems. Is that true?
Thanks scotty
Cannot find Burnies cleaner Can you recommend another cleaner t use as maintenance
Scotty, some time back yourecommended Seafoam to clean vales. Still stand by it?
3 things to make your engine last forever-1.Not a Chrysler. 2. Not a Euro. 3. It's a non turbo Toyota.-Scotty Kilmer 2024
I'll agree with 1/3 of that.
Seriously, do your research for your vehicle and unless it's a Euro trash or a Chrysler 2.7, there are specific "maintenance" procedures to make the vehicle last.
These people....the only thing the think lasts is a Toyota...because half of them don't know anything about cars, and don't maintain them right, and they break down. Chrysler, Hyundai, kia...bmw, Benz, new Chevys... junk....even today.. Honda, Mazda, old Ford's, older Toyota.....those are the best ones. All of mine have had well over 300k when I sold them to get something else, and still ran good. But, I've worked on cars for 20 years, and I maintain mine ...
@richsweeney1115 i had a 2004 chevy malibu I had 387,374 on it cut chevy some slack 😂
How often should this be done on a GDI engine? Is there any risk of hydrolock?
Thanks man

Subaru is a good brand but it's not good when the temperature gauge was missing
I can get the can but I am scared to do it myself. I wouldn't know how to find the right hose and I might do damage.
Gm and Bg products have merged and now we at the dealership have information where gm is recommending induction cleaning at 15,000 miles
