McLaren CHARGES $600 For This Oil Change... I REFUSE To Pay Them
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лис 2022
- I bought this 2012 McLaren MP4-12C for just $76,000 in Anaheim, California and drove 1,400 miles home. It's had plenty of random issues that seem to come and go, but if there's one thing I want to be sure of, it's that the car has fresh oil. The last thing I want to be doing is replacing a $30,000 engine. The dealer charges $600 to do this service and I thought it would be easy to knock it out myself in a few minutes. It turns out this is actually a pretty big job that can be done at home but it's much easier on a 2 post lift. Getting access to all the drains and pulling nearly 40 bolts out takes some room and quite a bit of time... that said if you do it yourself it's only a $75 job.

570s is RWD 🤔 I had to do a double take when I heard you say it was AWD lol
Yup, that's my bad... I thought that was the whole point of the 5 series but it's sure RWD 😳
Many UA-camr reviewers are amateurs
@@seikocitizenwatches JohnRoss isn’t an amateur, everybody makes mistakes and he even admitted it, easy mistake to make if you haven’t had a McLaren before. Also so many super cars these days ARE AWD so it wasn’t an outlandish thing to say
All their models are RWD. It's crazy the amount of traction they get from it - see DragTimes. They used the f1 traction control system! Saves weight too for better handling.
@Dick Feelgood I've got a 570s, it has full exhaust, injectors, intake, and map switching between 93 and Ignite Red. Plans for it is cooling and upgraded Turbos... My previous one was probably around 800-900whp. Needless to say... There's a lot of stuff you can modify! There's even meth systems available for them now and fully built blocks.
Also, Vehicle Virgin's car was a 600LT not 570s
Johnny is such a great guy. Very kind of him to let you use his shop
Yup, he's the best! 💯
Shame he was only in it for a few seconds.....
Buy him dinner somewhere as thanks!
Quick, Jonny. Order the prime rib on JRGO before he comes to his senses. LOL.
he really is so kind to everyone , love you Johnny you are a kindhearted man
CarNinja is such a great dude. You’re so lucky to have him.
He has that "Fonzi" vibe to him.
@@stevenreynolds2327 I never thought of it that way, just you're kinda right.. lol
@@Bill_Hartnett lol, just the Mac nemo link - both new to me. Now when I see them it will come back to me. Cannot erase lol.
That is true about an oil change . I always say I think my truck is running better after I change it. Plus it makes you get under the car to inspect it for any other problems you didn't know you had !!!
It’s so funny that you said that a fresh oil change makes you feel good. It’s so true!
I want to see Jonny smile when he takes the McLaren for a ride.
JR you are on a roll with broken British cars...Jag, Bentley and now McLaren. Keep them coming.
1st time I ever seen Johnny really eye a car you can tell he wants one now lol
This is one of those cars that is great for a friend of yours to have but not you lol
@@jgibao ha, yeah. especially if your friend lets you drive it! It's not so bad if you are a mechanic though, or can budget repair costs.
@@jgibao Issue can be the time to get parts. So expect down times. Hoovie had a problem with this! although that was during the pandemic i guess.
I just love this series because I know that high you get balancing between being in love with a car and being one step away from financial ruin.
You , Hoovie, Johnny and the Wizard. What a great community and buds.
Exotics are expensive for just maintenance. $600 oil changes and Johnny had an Audi in for a brake job. $5,000! That’s insane!!
That's because the manufacturer figures if a person is so foolish with his money to buy an over priced car.....they will be stupid enough to pay 5k for a brake job. Everyone likes a fool and his money.
Yeah, it's a sweet ride for sure. This is a car I'm really excited to see you go through and troubleshoot and teach us about.
Beautiful Car John - The best car You ever had. Jonni is a fantastic guy - Love the way he really makes and repairs the cars in his workshop properly 👌👍
I agree with you about new making you feel better as every engine enjoys new oil. Can I suggest you put it out on social to find someone with the correct scan tool for a fee, would be what you need, just like the Jag.
Johnny is such a dude!! Love the way he walked around it smiling!
I had to laugh when you mentioned the issues with the doors. I was thinking it was it was one of the quirks my 88 Chevy and a McLaren have in common, and then just a minute or two later you mentioned the Chevy and door pins. Lol!
I absolutely love my MP4-12C. Glad you picked one up on your channel. Thanks for the vid!
I honestly enjoy this JR more. At the home garage doing work on cool cars. I know you weren’t working on the MC at home today but it seems more you with the using just different areas to get things done!
Thanks JR for giving me a POV into owning one of my dream cars now that it's 10 years old. I definitely agree about the rear profile, so good looking!
at first I wasn't sure you made a good deal, but the more I see and watch you with this super car you made a great choice, plus the car itself is stunning and I love the wrap , any update on the farm and any luck finding a new place
I agree with Johnny
Your best purchase by far...the R8 was cool but way too frustrating to watch the process that went into that car. If you don't add 100
k subscribers with this content I don't know what you can do. Good luck with this venture, fun to watch
Great video and great to see Johnny smiling and washing his hands of your McLaren
Between you, Tyler, Rob, and other folks I don't know, the super car per person ratio has to be off the charts in the 316. Looking forward to this!
Another great video from JR. Keep it up
I'm so happy for you for having this gorgeous car and having the skillset to maintain it for a "reasonable" budget. Just do yourself a favor and put the McLaren badge back on the hood which I assume got removed for the wrap ;)
Keep it up man. You got this!
Car Ninja! Love you guys working together!
This McLaren is a nice car, I'm glad JR got it and is making quality content with it!
Congrats JR. I can’t wait to see this car
Thx for the fast Mclaren update. Yes complicated car, but it come with the territory.
How is it compared with the R8? Is it worth, beside the name , the additional expence? I know it’s a different animal, carbon frame eg, but same basic layout. Tuning wise the R8 platform could as well be upgraded, and be even more sellable..
Could you please share your thoughts about the future for the Bentley? Just a crude roadmap would be nice 😊
The more I watch you fix exotic/expensive cars, the more I hug my Camry.
😂
I prefer my f150s, but simpl(er) and tried and true work for me.
TheCar Nija such as classy person, nice of him to help you with the McClaren.👍
Bruce McLaren fondly remembered as one of our native sons from New Zealand 👍
You have to get rid of the tint on that back glass so the engine is properly displayed. What a cool car!
It’s generally cheaper if you buy the Mobile 1 0w-40 FS European Car Formula in 5 qt containers, and sometimes if you’re really lucky you can pick up that oil in a 12 qt “wine-in-a-box” type cardboard box with a plastic liner at Walmart stores. But as of late I haven’t seen those on sale at Walmart anymore. I use the same Mobile 1 0w-40 FS European Car Formula in my 2017 NSX.
Love the car JR. I'm so happy for you. You have no regrets, and it shows. I think the only people being negative about it are just jelly. FYI. I was able to say, "rain wiping sensor" three times without screwing it up. LOL. Take care. You are so driven, and it's good to see your hard work pay off.
Can't wait to see more content with the McLaren. 👍
Love the improvised oil funnel.
Excellent video Johnny is so awesome. I watch all of his content well.
My X3M40i does the lowest Avaliable gear selection with the paddles it’s awesome on the highway!
It's honestly the best feature of a dual clutch 🔥
JR man, were you a fan of GT6 on PS3? This very car (2012) was a HUGE value in the game. It just slays million dollar cars. You're living the dream (post-oil change lol).
Been watching you since the geo tracker, you’re the man jr
SUPER nice of Jonny to give up his alignment bay to let you do this oil change. The guys there are the best. I'll gladly drive 2,000 miles to have major engine work on my BMW's done. :)
That's a really cool car. Love the LOOK of the car. I'd love to see you do some performance mods on this one. Not sure if you can put bigger turbos or do a better exhaust.... but first the oil change and door latch!
These things are already very fast, they will run 10s in the 1/4 mile, top out over 200mph easy. They do have a lot of aftermarket for what they are, exhaust, turbos, tunes, and if you have DEEP pockets, stroker kits, cams, all internals etc
@@JSAFIXIT And they handle more power perfectly. Even for a RWD. Proper super cars. Like you say expect super car part prices and you will not be disappointed. Can get 2nd hand parts though and people who recon them. Will look to this series to see how he gets along.
Nicely done. Personally, not a supercar guy but I do like this one!
Fun fact, the V8 came from Nissan's racing division. Mclaren bought the rights and modified it. Rumor has it that GTR was going to be based on the same V8 that Mclaren's was based on but was changed to a V8 due to weight concern.
Still a Nissan all of them McLaren used the Same Nissan Engine 3.8 4.0 or 4.2 Lts
Nissan Sentra coil packs work on it too which is quite a nice way to save money
Nice vid J R. As usual, shout out to Johnny ? What is the 0 - 60 on the McLaren ? It is an exciting machine.
Some of the super cars like this have a baffle button for the exhaust that enable "quiet" or "loud".
Everything should have a valved exhaust now, I sure wish this did 💯
If you sell that give Johnny a call his face said it all he really likes it 😂😂😂
Car Ninja gives his approval... that's how you know you've done well
Very cool car love the color and always good to see Johnny.
Johny aka Car Ninja, good to see you, and he is right Jonh, this is the best car you had
Love your new Progen T15.
Do a poll and see if more people like cars that race them selves or test how good of a driver you are. I love a manual but I lm a pure driving enthusiast.
Heck of a testimonial for Carly ... Resetting Mclaren codes with one button press
Super cars and bridges man that never gets old
Thanks!
That’s for showing me the car yesterday.
The F1 was McLaren's 1st stab at a low volume supercar but it took 100's of hours to make because the carbon tub manufacturing process wasn't viable for mass production at the time hence the high price when it was released! The 12c was a quarter of the price I think? They could make the 12c tub in a matter of hours and that tub hasn't changed much throughout later models.
Every single issue You’ve had, including the door struts I’ve seen on brand new 12cs day 1. There isn’t a thing wrong with it as far as I’m concerned😂
Lovely car. Is that a wrap or matte paint protection film over the original paint? Either way it's stunning.
the givemethevin guy is a mvp. dealt with him before. super nice
Yessir 💯
Yes, have audio now, 600 for a oil change is ridiculous but you have the right guy on it👍
Nice white E36 there with the bonnet up just like my E36 lol
Great Video!
I love exotics and I've driven some in the early nineties but that experience turned me off of wanting to own one. Those cars are constantly being worked on. Glad to see you're so happy with the car. Johnny is the dude.
That is an oddly gigantic swaybar! I know it is a serious performance car but often that actually results in smaller swaybars.
How has the series performed with viewership? I want to see the channel grow and I hope this is a catalyst to reach new viewers.
An interesting takeaway, the newest Type-S NSX has a similar downshift feature that it will skip-select to the lowest gear within the RPM range. Unfortunately the 2017-2021 NSX did not have this feature.
Too bad Honda didn’t implement better paddle shifters software in regular fleet ever since they failed so badly with the TLX Aspec back in 2018. Darn thing would be pressed 2x or more and it would take a minute to even downshift.
600 is a bargain for all of that! Expensive cars bring expensive bills…. Great vid!
All new used cars should get a fresh oil change. Nicely done. 👍
What would it be if you bought a car and it DIDN'T need struts somewhere?? What a great looking car and what a REALLY great wrap job!
What bmx bikes are hanging back there? I like the car. It looks great!
Just asking, but how hard would it have been to stick a vacuum hose down the fill pipe and suck out all the old oil?
Can you close the windows when outside the car? This would help with the closing of the doors.
This is a great channel
I just want to see you beat the Oregon Trail.
Are you sure your doors don’t have the soft close function? Maybe that’s faulty? I know you can retrofit the soft close feature.
How does the duel clutch compare to the C8?
Johnny is the man.
Wonder how much is the spark plugs and coil packs for this car and how easy is it to change them
Yea, that's his intermittent engine light..
What did you use to reset the service interval light ?
You need to select rear wing down while driving. And the door can be adjusted to latch up better.
I love how OReillys have everything you need all the time.. Half the time I go in there I cant even get a friggin light bulb for my tail light.. lol
JR, what brand oil did you use?
Is that dirt on the top part of the steering wheel? My ocd can’t handle that…lol
If it is, get a wet magic eraser and lightly wipe until gone.
beautiful car./.. but why are the transmissions made of glass??
I watched a video where they took a Lamborghini with a bad motor and did a LS swap with it and I thought that was pretty cool. still had over 600 hp but in my mind it’s a more reliable and less expensive engine to maintain and I’d love to see someone do that with a McLaren.
As an owner of a 12c and close friends with a mclaren repair shop, I will say the 12c is not less reliable than the newer models. I've upgraded mine to 950hp and have put on 6000 miles and never had one issue. The 570 is red, not and btw.
Beautiful car 👍🤘
If you look on the forums, there is a way to retrofit soft close using Tesla latches.
Porsche's have a hidden feature that you only get to hear about on an official track day. If in any mode (other than pure electric on my hybrid Panamera), you smartly tap the accelerator pedal it will instantly change down (with a blip) into the lowest available gear for maximum acceleration. I think the best feature on all McLarens I have driven has been the hydraulic power steering. It is the only one that has bettered the hydraulically assisted steering on my 997 Turbo S.
You outhoovied Hoovie here definitely, you crushed him.
you and Vtuned should race...he has a McClaren too!
He has a 720, it's faster for sure 🏎
Maclaren didn't build the F1 to go racing. Gordon Murray designed it for the road. Afterwards clients asked them to then build race prepared cars.
You should put a quieter exhaust on it to appreciate the Meridian sound system. The door not wanting to shut when the windows are up must indicate the cabin seals like a submarine.
FYI McLaren engines are built by a company called Ricardo in Shoreham in the UK.
Johnny is the man !!!!!!!!!!!
So what if you just drive to McLaren ask them to reset the service indicator?😅
It would be cool if the former owner got in touch with you and gave you some history on the car.
Most don’t want to because they knew of the issues before trading and some do shady stuff. As you see with other youtubers who get a turd that turns out to be diarrhea. Engine swaps from OEM, or high dollar items changed out, or they throw in some thick Lucas oil and it’s gonna throw a rod. Hopefully he gets semi lucky and like he mentioned, maybe the rattle is cam phasers.
