Just change things like this more often than you even think you need to. I’ve had my coolant flushed and filled twice in 90,000 miles; per the owners manual I could still be running the factory fluid. Guess what. I don’t wanna overheat. I don’t want corrosion inside an aluminum engine. I don’t want my fluid going electrolytic and messing up my computer system. And I don’t want to spend $20K+ on a new car so I spent the whole $75 to HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE change the coolant. Twice.

The problem with synthetic blend is that we have no idea what percent of the oil is synthetic and how much is conventional. My understanding is there is no federal guideline that regulates this and due to proprietary secrecy consumers will likely never know. That's another reason I stick with full synthetic motor oil and have for over 30 years.

Absolutely brilliant Scotty. This is the best explanation about the modern state of air filters, oil filters, and oil I've heard in my entire life.

Well I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2 liter engine and standard trans. I been changing my oil every 3,000 miles, using what was recommended by dodge 10W30. I slowly switch to a full synthetic 10W30 at about 250,000-300,000 miles and still change oil and filter at every 3,000 miles. I now have 360,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.

I had a 2000 GMC Sonoma with a 4.3 V6 that I sold with 589K miles on the original engine (never opened) and 2nd transmission (junkyard). I religiously changed the oil every 4K miles (quality filter and oil), performed routine maintenance ie: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel and air filters and aside from replacing a water pump and flushing cooling system, and replacing a fuel pump, the truck never let me down and is still on the road. Scotty, you preach maintenance and all should follow your advise.

Excellent video. I taught the subject of auto mechanics for 33 years. Oil and filters are cheap compaired to buying an engine. I change oil and filter every 5k miles regardless of what the computer says. 4 vehicles and a tractor. I use Mobile 1 in all the vehicles. My class cut open 20 new different filters. NAPA gold was the best. We also found Honda and BMW filters were excellent. I use Honda filters in my 21 Accord. Oil level is checked daily and before trips. Proper maint is key to long life. On turbo engines don't pull in and shut off, let the engine ldle for 3 to 5 min so the turbo can spool down. You don't want a turbo spinning at 70K rpms and shut off because the oil pressure goes to 0 when you shut down. I told our machine shop teacher this and his turbo diesel still had 500K on the origional turbo when he bought a new VW. All he did was change the oil, filter and let the turbo spool down.

Scotty, I like all your videos. I got to let you know something about my vehicles. Almost all my vehicles I have gone hundreds of thousands of miles. Starting from high school, the most important thing I found was changing the oil often. And with this I usually used the cheapest oil I could find. I would try not to go over 2500 MI. But I wouldn't change the oil filter but every other time so about 5,000 MI once in a big blue moon I would go three oil changes before the oil filter. 7,000 MI. That being said the lowest miles of vehicle I had that I got rid of would be in the $300,000 MI range. I do have a Honda I've had since high school. And I couldn't even guess as to how many miles that has since the speedometer broke at about 400,000 miles and that I couldn't tell you when that was. On F-150 I and my ex bought at 2001 with only 10,000 miles She kept the changing oil routine up. And she and her new husband depend more on that vehicle than their new cars. She is at 275,000 miles. I have another f-150 2004 . At 365,000 miles, I did a lot of mobile auto body and real estate rehab. And I would travel for these jobs since traveling paid more money and it is a 2001 Chevy van at 490,000 Mi. All on cheap cheap oil but try to never exceed 2500 miles. And the Chevy van and Honda do have a string of magnets attached on engine next to oil filter. That I rap around oil filter. Got to say.. on all these vehicles. I have had to change gas pump more then once. Batteries un known times. Chevy van changed tire bearings 3 times. Both ford f150 rear seals once. Honda, alternator 2 times.

[@Mike-01234]

Those aftermarket filters like K&N with the cloth I found don't filter that well dust is inside the throttle body. I used to use them I live in the Arizona Desert and I don't use them now. The only way to increase air flow is to use a larger paper filter that will continue to filter down to the same particle, or reduce the filtering. If you live in area with little dust probably can get away with one of these filters. Oil filter brands stick with the OEM type filter never go wrong if you don't know what to use never buy a fram they are junk. OEM filters cost more money but you can get them online at a reasonable price. If you can't find them easily then buy a Napa gold, or Wix those are two well made brands.

Plus I spray my undercarriage with a fresh coating of Woolswax every year to prevent rusting. These are the things a numbskull like me can do, every fall I put my car in the local Scotty Kilmer mom/pop shop & have them road test it to find things I am ignorant to.

@@aaronjones5742 Not always the case. My Mum had a 2006 Ford Focus that was constantly misfiring and no check engine light. The check engine light is no indicator of how well the engine is running its literally there if there is a fault code that trips the light and many of the codes that appear on scan tools don't trip the light. Check out any of the videos where Scotty plugs a scan tool into a seemingly fine Mercedes and watch it return 20 fault codes despite there being no lights on the dash. Only way to judge is by checking the oil filters, spark plugs and coil packs and using a scan tool to check the car out as well as listening for unusual sounds or loss of performance and fuel economy.

this is all 3 things I've never once done in 15 years. i am finally doing all 3 this week although the last 2 are done at same time. 3 things I always thought no way I could do by myself.

[@aaronjones5742]

If someone does your oil change for you then they’re almost guaranteed to change the filter, and more than likely the air fikter

[@scottiebaldwin]

2007 Toyota Prius. Just passed 728,000 miles and still going strong. I drive Uber out of SeaTac airport. I’ve changed the oil every 3,000 miles since day one. 👍🏼

Thank you Scotty. You help me with mechanic and learning English(I am French canadien) . I'm just glad you exist. Funny and always instructive.

[@PierceThirlen2]

In states with subzero weather, like Minnesota, synthetic oil in the engine can mean the difference between the starter being able to crank the engine fast enough to start and not starting. It's pennywise and dollar foolish NOT to use it here. Futhermore, using synthetic in the manual transmission allows you to shift with ease in cold weather, instead of needing two hands to shift gears until the transmission warms up. Petroleum gear lube caused a lot of broken shift linkages in winter. Also, if you have a high performance oil pump, in subzero weather when petroleum oil is thick, it can actually blow the oil filter apart. I've had it happen. But no problems with synthetic oil.

Thank you for all this knowledge

[@spiritman57]

Tanks for the value information, we need more people like you ,LONG LIVE SCOTTY

[@hughmarshall7148]

No wasted time in this video. Thank you for the knowledge!

[@edwardlucas8333]

A great video as always, your editing has improved greatly! Sign of going PRO ! :)

[@charlestatakis9363]

Excellent comprehensive presentation. It would be great if these spin on oil filters could capture particles larger than 5 micron absolute. I often wonder why these filters have not been capable of higher efficiencies.

[@billwilson3609]

Oil filters become more efficient as they collect more particles since those will snag and hold smaller particles as they pass by.

[@rainmakerii2610]

Or you could always strap a mask over it,😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😅

wow..........best video ever from Scotty....nice talk very gentle and smooth. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.

I have a 2010 Toyota Camry with 235,000 miles on it . Its a retired taxi that got a lot of wear n tear over the years in a busy city . I've replaced spark plugs twice , changed synthetic oil every 4500 miles rated for every 5k, now I changed it a lil under 3,000 due to high milage and always replaced the oil filter every time . I also change the transmission oil every 15000 miles replace cabin and engine filters when needed and rotate my tires every 2nd oil change . Its still running strong. maintenance is key for the long run

[@jayuski]

Hey Scotty, can you make this video and others pertaining to vehicle history and maintenance dubbed in Spanish. With 30 million Hispanics in the U.S. and over 700 million world wide, I think that half the globe would benefit from the honest education the you provide.

[@ZombieFeathers]

This is the most informative and well made presentation without some advertisement hook. How do you do it

[@aymansafi4423]

Thanks a heap Scotty, real useful info, did not know most of these details

[@mrgreenbaypacker529]

Scotty I’ve not heard such detailed auto intelligence from most You are definitely NUMBER 1 sir

[@vaderyoda9321]

Another great documentary Scotty.

[@big_W]

Scotty I have been following for years and to this date I still get glued to the screen to learn what you teach

[@JPTech933]

Excellent video, and clear graphics! I'm a computer guy.. not a car guy, but your explanations are very clear. I'm definitely getting the air filter changed and oil filter at my next oil change, I already use full synthetic oil that was recommended to me a few years ago when having trouble starting my car in freezing temperatures.

[@jeremyhodges9480]

Awesome Scotty wish I had your video back in the day, these would be great for anyone!

[@alayoolalekannurudeen3902]

Excellent presentation, you always save car owners that love to hear and do the right thing to save their cars from unnecessary wears. My 2011 camry at 163,000 miles still runs like new cos I use recommended oil 0w20 and change oil filter at 5,000 miles during servicing

[@johnsonajayi7846]

For my Lexus 2010, I use the same oil brand; however, the recommended oil change interval is at 10,000 miles. Just saying.

[@ronaldmcgowan3697]

My 02 camry has 230,000 miles doesn't use a drop of oil

[@ralphvalkenhoff2887]

My 09 Camry hybrid drinks oil like a thirsty camel in the Sahara, about a quart every 500 miles. With 220k it seems excessive after regular maintenance.

[@jobturkey7418]

This is a known defect in those mod year Camrys . Toyotas have a great reputation but these years obviously fell off the cliffs. If you take to dealer they will measure and hopefully replace. It’s due to poor design

[@haroldmilroy4489]

Extremely well done Mr Kilmer. Really appreciate the educational aspect of your video. Thank you sir.

[@dubplatenate]

Out of all the motor engine oil videos I have seen, this is by far, the most informative.

[@ndumbadavid20]

Thank you very much Sir. The video presentation was 💯 informative and educative. Long live Mr Scotty Kilmer. 👍👍

[@ColinHopperRevival]

An excellent and informative video, thank you Scotty.

[@randomtuna8254]

Awesome video Scotty I loved it! I use my old motor oil to stain my fence, trying to recycle and save money 👌👌

[@kevinrtres]

Sorry you just can't win - the oil then gives off organic compounds, polluting the air.....! We live in a sin-cursed world!

[@wgpdesign8994]

BEST Scotty Kilmer video ....should be a prerequisite for every autoshop class!! thanks Scotty!!

[@randywl8925]

This is why we watch you! It doesn't get any better than this.

[@reaganl.5113]

VW beetles up until 1975 did not have engine oil filters either, just a mesh at the pickup tube in the oil pan, near the drain plug.

[@samtx5518]

And always adjust the valves

[@reaganl.5113]

@@samtx5518 Yep, mine was 1776cc dual carb with a 3/4 racing cam. It idled like a Harley, and sounded like one with a header exhaust. Snap off those valve covers every oil change to adjust the valves. It would lift the front off ground with the competition clutch. Loved that 1973 super Beatle ...my first car!

[@73av8r5]

Love all the Mazda footage. 👍🏻❤️

[@breanacollins8459]

Thank you for the extremely educational video.

[@Rockinruffhouser]

Thanks for the knowledge Scotty.

[@edwardanthony7283]

Always do them timely but changing oil every 3k is wiser.

[@phillipcoiner4232]

I use a bypass oil filter (2 micron) in conjunction with a primary filter on my diesel trucks 300k on my 2009 Dodge with syn oil. I change the oil at 10-15k miles. It costs about the same as normal filters because I can go longer between changes. I sent oil samples for analysis for the first 200k but I became confident that it was only necessary to do once a year or so.

[@stevel1475]

What brand of bypass filter system are you using? So you change your bypass filter once a year?

[@phillipcoiner4232]

@@stevel1475 I use Amsoil I change bypass with oil change. I have been using Rotella T6 synthetic but I have been unable to get. So I'm not sure which oil to switch to.

[@SophieBird07]

Wow! I have learned sooo much! Thank you!
