We can thank bureaucratic government agencies, the WEF, and a bunch of central bankers for driving everything at automotive manufacturers absolutely bonkers (massive increase in complexity, technology changing constantly, computers doing almost everything, fuel economy agenda so strict that stupid measures are taken to get it).

This is my second time watching this episode. Still learning… As a teenager I should’ve gone to a tech academy. Now at age 56 I am learning so much! Being a female, I figured I’d marry a mechanic of sorts. Nope. My hubby is not mechanically inclined. So, it’s my son and I. He watches and learns online and I am the bank to use for parts. Because of you, we are in such better shape financially. Thank You for taking time out of your life to help middle class people learn how to survive in this expensive world. You are appreciated beyond adequate words for your advice and honesty. Sincerely, Lisa, Jimmy and my hubby who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons (like lack of mechanical skills and embarrassment for that reason and forgetting to check the oil often enough and other important fluids).

[@MorganMadej]

Hi Lisa, I did thoroughly enjoy your post with your humour and life experiences. Your relationship with your Son is heartwarming and reassuring that there are good, caring parents and children over there. For me Scotty is a Goldmine of information spoken with passion and lifelong experiences. I drive a 2001 Volvo S60 T5 with 275,000 km on the clock. We are lucky to know a Father & Son Auto garage here in Poland 🇵🇱 with a Breakdown Recovery service included in our auto insurance. Being in our mid 70's we have peace of mind when our super reliable car has a headache 😫 like the muffler falling off in the middle of nowhere 🙃 All the Best from Poland 🇵🇱 Morgan & Danuta

[@FATHERKNOSEBEST]

Nice post 😎

[@peter-iq5en]

Lack of mechanical skills is not necessarily an embarrassment. Some people have other things on their mind that keeps their full attention. The myriad details of auto maintenance takes energy away from things that are more important to some people. It's like great writers who can't spell or have poor grammatical skills. They leave all simple, basic ,details to their secretary. Hemingway(as many writers do) left spelling and grammar for his secretary to deal with. Cleaning airflow sensors is equivalent to correcting misspelling or improper grammar.

[@Philitron128]

Lisa, no offense but if you're looking for ways to survive then you are not in the middle class. It was a difficult realization for me, but the middle class is functionally dead in the US and it has been since the 2008 housing market collapse.

Took Scotty's advice for the Lucus trans fix while also doing a trans service on the car. Holy moly does the Lucus Trans fix work. Transmission loved having the very black fluid removed and the mucky magnet cleaned up too. Now time to clean up the injectors and the engine. This car is losing a quart of oil every week.

Hey coconut operator I'll come to Australia from the USA if you'll promise me that when I get there you'll throw some Prawns and a nice big thick stake on the grill and then the next day you can show me around some of your country. I've always wanted to come to Australia and see the country. I also wanted to ask did ya'll ever get that rat problem taken care of and if so how did ya'll do it because what I seen they were really really bad I mean they were rats running everywhere, thanks for your time.

I use ATS Engine and ATS Fuel System Cleaners at every oil change. 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0L with 85,000 miles. Runs perfectly, no codes. I allow the engine to warm up BEFORE adding the oil treatment then run engine at 2000 RPM.

Regarding the Lucas XMSN Stop Slip: I have an 04 Camry that after I bought it around 280K miles the transmission started making a slight clunk between gears; more often in the summer when fluid was obviously most hot/viscous during the year. Pretty sure the previous owner hadn't changed the fluid much. I drained almost half of the old fluid out and put Lucas Stop Slip in and it's still running at 305K with zero clunking! Will post back here to let you know when it does start to have problems! Pretty impressed with this stuff.

Scotty you need to do a review on Luqui moly mos2 Anti friction Product number 2009. I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee 318 ci 203,000km (around 160 000ish miles) I cant believe the differance! It runs cooler and keeping around 90 kph (50 ish mph) is get 600kms (480ish miles) a tank***miles may be off I from Canada*** but I guarantee you'll like it! your the man Scotty I really enjoy your vids!

[@6CCORVETTEMAN]

You are an excellent help, Scotty. In this video, it seemed the engine was much smoother and quieter sounding before the treatment.

[@piratewraith]

That Lucas stop slip IS AMAZING. I used it on a Nissan quest van that was slipping and taking 5 seconds to engage in drive or reverse. It started working in an hour. I had bought the 250k mile van for $50 us. And drive it for 100k more and gave it to a friend who put another 20k of hard miles. If I still kept it I bet I could of broke 400k. I've been using LUCAS PRODUCT FOR 30 PLUS YEARS

[@tommywatterson5276]

I had an uncle who was a diesel mechanic in the Navy. He said they poured kerosene into the crankcase oil, how much I don't remember, ran it for several minutes, then changed the oil. The idea was to clean the engine of deposits. Btw, this was back in WW ll. Navy requirements by the book.

I have used these additives, too. They work. Not miracles, but they do what they claim. The thing is, these are decent small fixes for 100k mile cars/trucks.

[@mikeren1537]

I've always been untrusting of a mechanic in a can but I'm a old dog who has learned a new trick. The MPH on my 2016 Mazda CX5 started dropping off a tad. Not enough for any codes . Changed air filter and at 115,000 KM it was time to change the plugs as well. Did both without much improvement. Saw this video and tried the Royal Purple. I used a bore scope to check pistons 1 and 4 . Some carbon build up but not excessive. I then added the Royal to a tank of new gas. After 150 KM I checked both pistons and they appear shinny and new. So it does appear to be cleaning something up. My gas mileage has returned to what was expected. I suspect my injectors needed a cleaning. I know it's not a fixall for everything but in this case it addressed my issue. Thanks Scottie..😊

I personally like Techron and occasionally Atf in the fuel tank . I threw some in my Corvette to get it running right after the computer took a crap on the way across the country . I drove it in limp mode longer than I should have and finally gave up in New Mexico . I left it with some local mechanics there and told them whatever it takes and I will be back when it is done . I got about 3 miles from their shop when it started acting up and they suggested the Atf in the fuel tank . Within 50 miles it started running like new . I was amazed at the improvement in the top end .

By the time you pour the Transmission Fix into a pot, heat it up, and then take it to the vehicle to pour it in, you probably could have poured in 2 or 3 cold bottles in the same amount of time.

Hi Scotty, I have been watching your videos for years but only recently subscribed. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but I find find your videos to be fascinating and incredibly informative. I now have a practical reason for following your program. I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson that completely loses power in 30 C plus weather and under high acceleration. it also emits a rotten egg smell under those conditions. Despite repeated attempts at diagnoses, no mechanic has been able to pinpoint the problem.

Hey 'Scotty like ur style, I was kind of surprised you didn't suck the oil out of the dipstick, I've doing it for years now, works great on the inline trans axle 4 bangers no mess no fuss 15 mins done and it was proven to me you actually get more oil out by sucking it out ..... doesn't work on V 6 or 8 anyway love all videos nice

[@eric3frog929]

Shape of the sump, and the not so viscous fluid inside. With a pump, you can move the pickup tube and generally get almost all that's in there

*_I just learned that if you're going to store a car for the winter it's best to use additives first and putting in gasoline after, so there is less pace in your tank to get filled up water or something like that.

I personally would not put LUCAS anything in my vehicles all it does it makes stuff thicker. The ATS engine cleaner is also suspect for cleaning valves on an GDI ENGINE. Royal Purple I have not tried but I do use BG PRODUCTS, they work well for me, mostly depends on how bad the engine or other things have been neglected or if you have a GDI engine. There's really only a couple ways too clean them well & it isn't just pouring an additive in the oil.
