Hello Scotty, I need suggestions for oil grades. My car's mileage is 90,000 Kilometres. I am using Castrol Magnatec 10w-40. I was using the same grade with 30,000 Kilometres of mileage but a different brand. It's the first time I have been using Castrol. However, I want to shift to 5w-30. Is it safe to shift to this grade after using 10w40 for 70,000 Kilometres? Both grades are given on my car's manual. My city's maximum temperature in summer is 39 degrees Celsius, and in winter, it can go to 0 degrees. Please guide. I am counting on your opinion.

I remember an old coworker of mine was devastated when her car was ruined and wouldn't start. She was mortified and screaming because she thought she was so smart and knew everything, so what did she do wrong to her car? She did NO MAINTENANCE TO HER CAR AT ALL. NEVER HAD AN OIL CHANGE! Even when we told her she needed to do that, she argued with us that it did not need an oil change because it was only five years old! Remember she was so smart and knew everything. More than everyone else. That's why her car was DEAD.

I worked at a long term rental place for Uber drivers. Had a girl come in because the "bad car" we rented her "doesn't, like, go anymore". Turns out she was a real smart gal who knew a thing or two about doing things so when she saw the oil light had come on, she proceeded to fill it all by her little self with 5 QUARTS. She was so confident in bragging about having done this. The really funny thing is oil changes were included in the rental at no extra cost.

[@lobsterbisque7567]

I used to work at an oil & fluid change shop, and the neglect ppl put their cars through is mind blowing! all too often I've drained the crankcase oil only to see slow flowing sludge coming out of an engine that's already at operating temperatures, or remove an oil filter that was clogged with sludge😣😣😣 Even before I had that job, I could never bring myself to go that long between intervals! I've owned some unreliable cars in the past. But I've stayed on top of my fluid change intervals, and I've rarely ever had problems afterwards besides the occasional mechanical repair needed in high mileage vehicles. I feel so much better knowing that My oil & trans fluid is clean, along with the typical Coil packs, plugs, cables, belts, hoses(cooling system flush) and the occasional radiator change, air filter, tires & alignment. I've never paid more than $3k for any of my cars, and they've all been reliable after taking care of the basics, and I end up driving those cars for years

LISTEN TO SCOTT!!!!!. I have a 30 year old engine with 340,000 miles. I change the oil every 2,000 miles using non-synthetic Castrol GTX and Fram Tough Guard throughout its entire life ONLY. I drive it hard too. The engine still has its original head gasket, original timing chain and guides for 30 years. I always let tge engine sit and idle for about 5 - 10 minutes before i move. The engine does not burn or lose oil. So, i am confirming what Scott said in this video.

[@nilsalmgren4492]

I have never seen anyone dip the filter in the drained oil, that caught me by surprise. I just use a little of the new stuff I am using. My brother's father in law was a mechanic. He would buy synthetic oils and changed the oil filter after 3 months, then topped off the oil. He told me that back in the 80s. Synthetic was pretty expensive back then so would change 6 thousand miles doing that.

Great video Scotty. I found a important area to clean on that throttle body. Open throttle body plate and look on THE BACK SIDE. This will usually be dirty as well and it will have a small hole clogged on the plate. Hole used to provide air at start-up when engine is cold and at idle speed.

Don't wait for something "to break" before fixing it. And stay away from Mexican auto parts. NAPA and O'Reilly's has the most American made auto parts - if you can afford it.

I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger with over 174k mileage on it and I recently had my throttle body replaced because a friend of mine who is a mechanic told me that the sensor on the throttle body was faulty and looking at the 10 year old original part, it was beyond help because it was really dirty, plus his friend tested the original sensor and good thing that got replaced or I would've been screwed. My car can be a problem child at times, but still going strong though. Love your videos Scotty.

[@stephenhagen234]

Bring the engine temp up to "normal" operating temp before you pull the drain plug. This will help it flow better out into the drain pan. And move the drain pan out from under the oil filter when you put the new filter on. I failed to do this once and and the new, clean, unused filter slipped out of my hands and landed in the pan of dirty oil. That was $ down the drain and I learned and have never repeated this.

If you have an aluminum oil pan, be super careful when putting the drain plug back on…don’t cross thread it! If you do you’ll have to replace the oil pan and they are not inexpensive.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Quick oil change place....cross thread is better than no thread. 🤷‍♂️😏

[@vancheeliu6794]

that is why Scotty says hand-tighten the oil pan drain plug first before using tool.

[@TheSuperBoyProject]

They're not that expensive. I had to replace mine and it only cost $1385.

The other thing about cheap filters is they will stop filtering, and in many cases, clogged up and collapse and then when they do, either you have a massive leak if the canister ruptures or if the filter material breaks apart, then you have junk flowing around in your engine oil. Best to spend a few bucks more and get a premium filter (the price difference in most cases is $10 or less and well worth it, especially if you're going 5,000+ miles). I generally have used Bosch or Wix filters (both are good quality filters and are generally better than even the OEM filters which are only designed for about 5,000 miles).

good video scotty

[@KILRDedShot]

I do my oil every 3-4000 and i use a k&n oil filter with a synthetic blend in my 1998 honda accord EX 2.3L. It burns a fair amount of oil so to combat that i mostly go easy on the car and try not revving too high (thats when mine especially burns a ton of oil).

[@Dragracingshorts]

Excellent video

[@SteveTheCat]

I'm currently using Valvoline Premium Synthetic Oil which is a better graded formula than Regular Synthetic Oil which haves additives to clean any deposits and longer lasting. Did it for my 2010 Nissan Rogue which I change oil once a year on. Still Run good 👍

And I'm just an average "joe". not an employee. Just got pissed when I learned what the legal term "full" means regarding motor oil. check it out.
