Hi Scotty I have a 2011 Audi s6 5.2l and it’s at 80,000 miles and I was wanting to know should I change the transmission fluid? I want to know if I should change it because I either do it now or leave it for the “life” of the transmission.

Hey Scotty I have a 1987 Pontiac Firebird Formula with a 350 cubic inch engine. I use the car for my daily driver. I drive to lodi from Lockeford here in California. It takes 30 minutes to get to lodi and it’s 55 but I drive about 60 there. Is that a good amount of time to help the engine or should I drive some where further to get closer to that 2 hour mark like you say. Thanks Scotty for you amazing videos.

I mean you can, but you're going to have to take some chances when it comes to finding one. Its not easy or even cheap to find a good mechanic, but after you spend so much its all worth it when you find a mechanic you can trust finally. You might get ripped off in the process sure, but at the same time you learn who to avoid. Its an unfortunate cost vs reward system but still good information to compile.

I’m not sure, but I don’t think you can do the tail pipe check now with unleaded fuel. Leaded fuel is now only available in auto racing and aircraft - higher octane level ~110+

Everybody on the news is using the word "install" regarding the upcoming inauguration, talking about whether or not Trump should be "allowed" to replace Ginsburg. It's creeping me out, like they are sowing the seeds for unrest no matter what the election results are.

Im only 26 but still remember getting mad at my dad for cleaning the carb on the dirtbike without me for the first time when i was about six years old. I wanted to learn damn it! Lol Ironically a young lad like myself prefers jetting a carb over firing up a PC and tuning software, its not a hating technology thing either its more so a cost issue. Some of these softwares are like $1000+ and since i only primarily do my own maintenance i just havent the need for something that expensive to tune. I could swap a Holley or Edlebrock setup into it for a fraction of the price and tune it just as easily, but for the time being i dont mind taking it to my mechanic for that kinda work.

Seriously, Scotty you have TOO MUCH knowledge to simply fade quietly into the darkness, I wish you'd talk to someone how you leverage your wisdom into some type of platform that would keep us informed, and yet not be too taxing in you as you try to work smarter not harder?!? A way you can enjoy chilling out/enjoying the fruits if your labor while still keeping us on top of this very knowledgeable necessary topic ... THE CAR UNIVERSE! .... Maybe a more lucrative 'Pay' for content Platform that could give you financial ensentive to keep spitting knowledge so we (the public) can have some resource other than getting completely ripped off!

Been watching Scotty for a while. Always wondered why he doesn’t have a garage with a lift if he is a full time mechanic. I do most of my own car mechanics myself and the worst part is crawling around on the ground. If I did it all the time, I would have to get a lift.

Between my truck and driving my '17 V6 Mustang enthusiastically, my MPG all around is probably that bad on a regular basis and it doesn't bother me, haha. I only get gas once a week. I guess Scotty's right, Americans don't care about how much gas their vehicles use unless it's $4 a gallon and they drive a lot.
