Never changed the brakes, rode on bald tires, drove it like a sports car, and at just under 90k miles traded it for a Kia after every time they turned they heard banging from the suspension, the engine was clattering, the brakes were GONE and I’m sure the CVT was one hard acceleration away from exploding. If you don’t take care of your stuff, it will not take care of you.

[@macjames2361]

Turned a 80$ problem to a 8,000$

[@xESPplayer500x]

Other than tires and brakes, yes oil is most important

Crikey.. thank you for this video cause I have done other's oil for years but NOT ONE listens to me so again Ace!!!! like the title says '' CHANGE YOUR OIL!!!!!!''..!

Car maintenance class should be a part of getting your license.

[@directorbeau]

Or you know there's this thing called an owner's manual.

[@CLJCL]

@@directorbeau Exactly, part of the car maintenance class will be required to read the owner's manual. 😂

[@elite4championjosh]

Yup. Had exact truck with 89k miles earlier this year. Last oil change sticker was 67k miles. Immediately check oil condition, insurance totalled it. No oil since

[@05Hogsrule]

Agreed!!! I have a little 4-cylinder, 2.0 w/Turbo. No matter what the oil manufacture says, good for 5k miles, blah blah blah, I religiously (!!!) change oil at 2500 miles. That poor little engine works hard for me in the hot sun, day in, day out. Take care of the ride, she will take care of you; preventive maintenance/PMCS, old-school Army habits!

[@daniellaudman8580]

100% I do preventative maintenance all the time.

[@BreadAndGatorade]

There is well maintained and then there is wasting your money. Whatever works for you though.

[@robertfain2629]

I change my oil every two years just before smog check. I only drive three miles a day.

[@Jay-q2j9z]

You should change it sooner than that in all honesty. While the effect is minor in comparison to being on the extreme opposite end of the spectrum by completely lacking any scheduled maintenance whatsoever, the oil will degrade over that timeframe and the lack of heat from the short drive time won't allow for the oil to heat thin and fully lube your engine

[@seana806]

You need to change your oil every 3 months or every 3,000 miles. In your case, you should have it changed every 3 months with how little you drive. Even when the car isn’t driven much, oils tend to sludge up and that’s why it should be changed every 3 months if you don’t drive much. Preventative maintenance goes a long way with cars, even if the car doesn’t need any major repairs or service done, you have it done anyways just to be safe. There was a lady in Florida who had a 1964 Mercury Comet with over 560,000 original miles on it, reason why it lasted all these years was it was serviced regularly regardless of mileage. Same thing with the lady who owns a all original 1957 Chevy Bel Air 4 door hardtop, oil was changed every 1,000 miles since she planned on keeping the car for a long, long time.

[@toddkramer3330]

You should at least change it every 12 months it would be better that every 24 months.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

That actually more than qualifies as "Severe service", for two reasons - short trips form incredible amounts of sludge. And, its probably certain the anti-oxidizers in the oil are lone gone by 6 months just from being exposed to air.

[@DrRyan82994]

@@seana806that’s a waste really. any owners manual will recommend a year now. 3 months and 200 miles on the oil lol it’s still going to be translucent. i mean our guy really needs like an old nissan leaf, charge it weekly if that and never change oil

[@jerryjerry3045]

Absolutely, i've got a 2004 Nissan with 359,000 same engine same transmission. Discipline maintenance got me here. Still running smooth and think I will easily make 400,000. I drive it harder than usual owner as well. It's my work vehicle carrying 500-800 lbs in equipment , tools and camper in daily stop and go traffic as I travel all over my area.

[@treyo8592]

I’m guilty of this. Never got it to a point where my car died, but man, changing your oils is probably the easiest, and most effective thing you can do to extend your cars life. Lesson learned

[@volkan_youtube]

This shows that it is a good idea, before doing any repair, diagnostics etc. one should go over a checklist of what was done recently or previously in terms of maintenance , repiars etc.

[@creedleader5583]

Bruh I feel bad for my car when I put off changing it until 4k miles, I really don't know how people are driving new vehicles and just ignoring the most basic maintenance.

[@BreadAndGatorade]

4k over how long? There is a reason the oil change has a mileage AND time recommendation. Sometimes I will do 10k in 3 months mostly highway. Other times 5k in 3 months more city. 150k miles

[@emmasdad5426]

I have a 95 jeep Cherokee that has had maybe three oil changes. Thing is is leaks so much that after a few months you have just changed it by filling it back up. 300k and still runs.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

More than ever on these cheap quality new cars you need to change that oil and filter every 3,000 miles

[@7.3PSDA2]

I couldnt argue the point more correctly. There saying now 7k miles even 10k miles but i still on my own vehicles do it between 3 and 4k miles and im a Mechanic. and work on junk every single day.

[@jeffbeezos5958]

Older cars you wanna do either every 1,000 miles or 3 months just to keep them happy and fresh. That’s insane that the new recommendations are up to 10,000 miles with no time reference.

[@cjpowell2323]

5k is good for me full synth

[@7.3PSDA2]

@@jeffbeezos5958 Normally if its just gunna sit or sits and doesnt get driven much a goos rule of thumb and i change all my equipment (tractors, generators, trucks etc...) mainly once a year. in the owners manual or on the internet from the manufactor they will have the exact specifications on the date and mileage as to when it needs to be replaced. but even at that on the stuff i run everyday day the cars and light duty trucks every 3-4k miles then on the heavy duty i got 15,000 because 5 and 6 gallons or more oil is alot more expensive then 1 gallon to change.

[@handyman2233]

The audacity of these car companies and oil companies to say "Lasts 10,000 miles" Bull****. I change mine every 3-4000 miles.

[@gillgetter3004]

Like my dad told me many years ago as we were changing oil on his cars. Oil is cheap, engine work is EXPENSIVE!!!👍

[@ramonllerenas3794]

The problem is that they tell you to change your oil every 10000 miles when you should be changing every 3000 to 5000 miles thats the way they make money and sell you a new car

[@countryjoe3551]

That car got zero oil changes. Guaranteed.

[@DrRyan82994]

you’d have to go a lot more than 10k to do this

[@BreadAndGatorade]

No. 10k highway miles is fine for good synthetic oil these days. Look up some oil analysis

[@mikehunt8968]

*"Can we fix it?"* *No, it's Fucked!"*

I hope they weren’t charged for the battery and fusible link. All of that could’ve been avoided. Check oil first and if none right to the crank bolt I go

[@SinCara151]

It’s warranty my man That shit is payed for lol Also the first thing you do when a car doesn’t start is check the battery Common sense if you’re a tech

[@89gt5.0]

@@SinCara151yeah but he said while ha was changing it he noticed it was blown and Vehicle died when driving. So yes it could hand been avoided. If the fusable link is blown on a Nissan is almost always from the engine locked up.

[@taavikruusement252]

Good, I'm not the only one who sees that the parts gun has blasted before diagnosed the real problem

I always say change it even before the maintenance interval, a few bucks extra now can save you hundreds most likely thousands later down the line, look at any car that’s gone insane distances they’ve always been maintained properly

[@robertmaybeth3434]

If somebody asked me how often to change it, I would tell them look in their owners manual, find the "severe service" interval recommended by the car maker, then cut it in half.

Brother! I did a 1995 Ford F-250 yesterday. It holds 6 quarts. I drained less than 1 quart of oil!!!! Woman said no CEL, no hesitating, jerking and the motor never cut off on her. The afternoon I did her oil she said in the morning the motor was making w chattering sound. No metal shavings in the oil either 😮😮😮

[@seana806]

Don’t care how good oils have gotten in the past few years, change it every 3 months or 3,000 miles to keep your engine in tip top shape along with changing all the other fluids every so often regardless of mileage.

[@GoyslopGladiator]

Oil and tires are by far the most important, bad tires kill and it’s so frustrating that in spite of this they’re still ludicrously expensive

[@Paul-th9vr]

I always changed mine regularly and maybe too frequently but I thought it was better than not soon enough.

[@tobiishmail3436]

"The oil wasn't like that when I brought it in"! ..😂

[@jimjones1678]

I drive a 1991 Chevrolet S10 2.8L . I usually change the oil every 2-3 years. I check the fluids on a regular basis and top off when needed. You can NOT get away with this on a vehicle that is less than 20 years old. The engines won't tolerate it.

[@ricanparadox]

it’s even more important with newer cars due to the closer tolerances in modern engines. Let the oil turn into grinding paste and it’s breakfast burritos within a couple years.
