Oil Change And Talk! The New And Used Car Market!

[@apexdetail85]

In this day and age....would you keep what you have and put some money into it....or trade in on a new car or truck?

[@therealmatthewsmith]

If you are lucky enough to get a vvti Land Cruiser you keep it forever because it was made to last.

[@therealmatthewsmith]

They do not make cars that nice anymore.

[@richsmith3120]

I'm keeping what I have until the repairs exceeds the value of my truck.

[@williamgutierrez3900]

Im an auto tech of 35 years. so I hope it helps. 1 the bulb on the rear turn signal on the hatch is out. the inner one. Also it looked as if you you used 2 different oils. The big container was extend performance mobil 1 and the small bottles looked to be advanced fuel economy. just for future reference. Also should always fill up the oil filter with oil even at an angle it can still be filled most of the way. to prevent a dry start up. Hope it helps

[@joarby]

This guy is not very good at what he’s doing. Almost a beginner.

[@jcal5594]

You are really making up for lost time due to your injury. ..and doing a super job at that! Enjoying the new format Brian. As informative and real as always, but with an extra something in vehicle value. Keep it rolling.

[@kimnewling5728]

Yeah, here in my area of Wisconsin, the prices are unaffordable, either new or used. Unfortunately, people are paying the high prices and some are getting in trouble. Some of the folks I know are buying because of status. Its pretty cool that your flipping cars and making a alittle money, but I can tell that you're really enjoying the process and the work. I would, too. If I find the right car, I'm going to give it a try. Keep the great content/videos coming. I really enjoy them, Brian.

[@brucemount3590]

The rear signal has two fixtures for the rear. Two bulbs. Recommend checking both.

[@imyourhuckleberry3369]

I also live in PA, and sadly my engines usually outlast the frame. Have to be hyper-vigilant about salt protection. Fluid film, NH oil, can’t be shy about it if you want it to last. Great vid as always.

[@aldaley3537]

Keep old reliable vehicles until it becomes to expensive to maintain.

[@loboantonio2486]

Maybe i am lucky,but i have the same car since 2001,and i have only clean regularly interior and exterior,zero problems in almost 24 years! Only oil,filters,tyres,etc... replacement when necessary. As i could,i keep my car closer to new as much as i can.

[@seandankers2631]

For the bulb issue, usually replacing the bulbs mitigates the issue for me.

[@kimnewling5728]

If it's a bulb,sometimes the filament breaks and shorts out causing the blinking.

[@bigd9848]

I see that you really go over these vehicles like I would.The level of detail is incredible. I would definitely if I was in the market for a vehicle purchase one from you Brian 💎I know that you do the right thing and put your effort and knowledge into them.Great Video Brian and the new car market is very high they want too much for them these days ✊

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Great video as always!! How safe do you feel using the Quick Jack? Good work as always!! Thanks Brian!!

[@apexdetail85]

I use jack stands for safety when any car is on the quick jacks. I do not trust anything. That said...they have been fine.

[@leol9281]

Good talk... I am not buying another vehicle in this car economy... I am rolling with my current vehicle until it stops running.

[@apexdetail85]

Good choice.

[@brianstankavage1595]

Good conversation and Merry Christmas from Pottsville 🎄

[@apexdetail85]

Merry Christmas Neighbor!

[@TheSwitzAutomotive]

Brian when you said "it's good there" it wasn't blinking on the turn signal next to the headlight. Check that ... when they blink fast the car is trying to tell you a bulb is burned out or going bad.

[@apexdetail85]

I found it....was an incompatible bulb.

[@TheSwitzAutomotive]

@@apexdetail85 Nice work Brian. I have a small channel that focuses on making your cars last 300,000 miles... no joke. What you talked about today about the price of cars just makes me more convicted than ever to get people to make their cars last!

[@Dv087]

When someone puts an LED style bulb into a car that doesn't have the ballast, the bulb flashes rapidly because the current drawn by a LED bulb is less than a standard bulb. The car's computer reads it as an error and causes the light to blink rapidly.

[@2jaymar]

The crunched tail light on the left also had a turn indicator bulb in it from what I saw on the right. That bulb missing will cause the fast blink.

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice discussion

[@MNpicker]

Lubrication isa very good thing 👌🏻 😁

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

My cars normally last more than 10 years with good care with proper changes and maintenance. My Kia Sedona I had it from 2002 to 2020, Mitsubishi Montero from 92 to 2002, Mitsubishi Champ 80 to 92, Volvo 145s deluxe blue station wagon standard transmission from 1970 to 1989, Volkswagen Jetta III from 1992 to 2002 Rust proofing vehicles is a big issue in the northern states and many people don't give a crap about them and then you see several used car lots in southern states obviously not being able to sell those vehicles.

[@kimnewling5728]

What are you driving these days, Humberto?

[@747rotate]

I retired in '12 and for my retirement gift i purchased a brand new '12 Ford Taurus Limited smothered in red candy metallic clearcoat fully loaded which was Ford's flagship at the time. I don't like car payments so i paid cash for it which kinda surprised the salesman. To date this has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. The ride and comfort is insane and at times it doesn't even feel like I'm driving it. Its been garaged kept its whole life and just the other day turned over 35k miles. More than likely this will be the last vehicle I own because there's nothing else out there that really appeals to me. I wanted a vehicle in my old age that was very comfortable and easy to get in and out of plus it's got plenty of horsepower for me.

[@apexdetail85]

35K! Just broken in! :)

[@ddautodetailing]

Used car prices are up there, along with the miles on those cars. It's really difficult trying to find a kids first vehicle these days.

[@wademiyataki9221]

Is it the bulb for the turn signal on the rear door/lift gate? I thought I saw that light blink on the passenger side, but not the driver side.

[@frankmarek9921]

Check the relay for a turn signal, frank in norridge,ill

[@jcal5594]

Would love to know your thoughts on diesels. Porsche Cayenne made them 2013-16 I believe and quit due to VW shenanigans. They have been extremely popular along with Range Rover D's on BAT. Most auctioning in the 50-90 K miles, but interesting.

[@TheMobileDetailShop1296]

Brian have you used csi polishes.if yes what did you think of them.

[@apexdetail85]

I tried one last year....dusted like crazy.

[@erichoffman3593]

Went today and test drove a 2022 Ram TRX. Basically 3 years old with 38,000+ miles. Dealership wouldn't budge on the price though it's been on the lot for 3 months. The prices are too high and the salesmen aren't hungry enough.

[@apexdetail85]

And what they offer on trade ins currently is a joke.

[@aldaley3537]

One bulb may have been replaced with a Incompatible LED bulb that may be causing the hyper flashing. If and when you decide to sell the Lexus, it will “fly” off your hands. That would be an awesome replacement to my 2002 Escalade.

[@apexdetail85]

There are two waiting for me to finish messing with it. It will go quickly.

[@unvjustintime1]

I thought I subscribed to detail only channel; did this change to the car reconditioning? Would you do this service for a fee or it’s just to flip cars yourselves?

[@apexdetail85]

This channel now goes well beyond detailing. I change the oil in all cars on my lot.

[@kevincampbell8298]

Wrong bulb (LED pr other), bulb out. Missing bulb. Should have been one in the outer headlight assembly too I think. (Left side) compare to right front light.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!!

[@marklagasse2012]

Looked like the left had one blinking and the right had two

[@404notfound.....]

Timeing belts no grease fittings, 1.5 engines with turbos & thin paint. I really don't like the way the industry is going. I'll take a duramax diesel please. 😅

[@apexdetail85]

Right on!

[@riceburner4747]

Ppl are NOT maintaining vehicles. Car payments are too high & they can't afford to OR they land up getting repossessed. Hence, auto auctions. I'd never buy a used car unless I KNOW the owner. On that swift turn signal, maybe part of the bulb element is burnt out. Like parking lights but flasher (bright) bulb is fine.

[@rrvancilful]

People need to be aware of the EV black hole. Supposedly by 2035 everyone will have to buy an EV. The trade-in/resale value on an EV is way less than half of the purchase price, and the durability is very poor. If we're being forced into these things, smart people will be picking up an ICE vehicle now.

[@apexdetail85]

2035 will be very depressing. :(
