This morning my neighbors BMW X5 had a really bad squeaking sound coming from the front right suspension. I started spraying one thing at a time with WD-40 and moving it up and down by the fender. I started from the bottom at the control arms and bushings and worked up. I finally sprayed the top of the strut tower and viola, no more squeaking. Everything looks good as far as I can see, just have to see if it comes back. WD-40 works like a charm as a diagnostic tool. Thanks for all the info Scotty. I really like your channel.

I’ve had 3 of your videos help me out with small fixes that the shop was telling me was not gonna be worth doing to the car because of the year of the vehicle telling me $2000 for a cleaning of my valves and some type of flushing and watch some of your videos and solved the problem for $160! Every car shop I go to because I don’t know a lot about cars they try to rip me off thanks for your videos please keep making them

[@Hfsdhjf]

I have the opposite problem! The shops don't tell me what needs to be changed in my car, and when they do, I assume they are trying to rip me off. I then end up driving in an unsafe car that breaks, when doing the simple repair the shop suggested would have saved my vehicle and maybe my life.

Scotty, Great video again but I saw something that made me cringe; petroleum-based lubricants (like WD-40) eat away the rubber, causing the rubber to weaken and fail sooner than normal. Better to use a Teflon or Silicone base lubricants on rubber and other flexible seals.

Don't spray WD-40 on bearings and grease points, that thing will dissolve and clear away the grease. It's not a great lubricant either, it'll evaporate fairly quickly. I use it to clean the chain, crank and cassette of my road bike to then lubricate it again using the appropriate oil, and also to clean wheel bearings when I'm rebuilding them.

[@oz_medias]

It's not a lubricant at all. Is not designed to be a lubricant is not sold as a lubricant, it actually attracts and collects dirt. It is just for water displacement.

[@Bashkir097]

Interesting. I'm pretty sure years ago WD-40 used butane for propellant. I knew mechanics that used it as starting fluid for diesels and malfunctioning outboards. Your demo explains why I couldn't get a small engine to even cough the last time I tried to use WD-40 to give it a kick.

[@zaradiyel]

For electrical items better use Contact Cleaner which doesn't leave a sheen of oil. WD-40 is also acting as a lubricant so it'll leave some oil behind which would reduce the insulation between electrical parts.

Yessir! Rocket Chemical of San Diego got their water dispersant right on the 40th try. The salt air in the coastal area was a great testing ground. The aerospace industry jumped on the stuff and it proved its worth over time. When I was an Assistant Manager at a tool and implement store I always asked the new hires ( youngsters ) if the knew what WD-40 stood for. Ten percent got it right. They got the gold stars.

[@joevignolor4u949]

WD-40 is good for door hinges and also hood, trunk and rear hatch hinges. If you spray the hinges periodically it prevents them from squeaking when you open and close the door and it prevents the hinges from wearing out prematurely to where the door can become loose and not close correctly. Also, periodically spray it into door locks and the ignition switch to keep them from wearing out or sticking.

[@TheSimoc]

While better than nothing for hinges, WD-40 is actually notoriously bad lubricant in long term. It initially lubricates indeed, but it soon dries up into rather non-lubricating gunk. It is not that much an issue in hinges and other parts that are not anyhow prone to sticking, but in lock cylinders for example, where small parts should be able to move by relatively weak spring forces, or in spring-loaded electrical contacts, WD-40 usually causes more problems than it solves. Its intended usage is to repel moisture and initially lubricate to unstick stuck parts, where it works well with its good penetrating properties. It also makes good corrosion protection, and is alright in installations not moving in normal operation, such as bolts and nuts, and screw or crimp electrical joints. But in mechanisms moving in normal operation, you need a better lubricant. Multi-purpose oils, silicon oils, greases, and purpose-specific lubricants are the proper choices, depending on purpose.

Anyways, today when I started my car, the dash lights were off and wouldn't come on. So, I drove to work and got the job done and on my way home it was eerie driving with no gauges. For some reason I remembered you smacking the dash, and I thought what the hell, it's worth a try. I lightly tapped at first and they flickered. I tapped again and the right side came on. Then started tapping the left side and it came on, but then the right side went out again. I continued tapping until they were back on again. Anyways, thanks for the idea 😊

Good video ! i Love Wd-40 ! i Have been using it since 1979 or earlier. its awesome to keep stuff from rusting. i used it on Kawasaki Jet skis at a dealership i worked at as a young mechanic. It was a God send to taking Saltwater jetskis apart. i used to Spray the Entire Boat Down from Bow to stern inside & outside. No Salt deposits ever ! Engines come apart easy ! i would use Gallons of the stuff. spray entire engines down. Wonderful stuff ! after 10 years of spraying down the same ski , metal was impregnated with Wd-40. Not one sign of Rust ever on a Salt water jet ski. One thing though , Do NOT spray at a Greasy area that is supposed to keep grease there. it WILL Wash away & dissolve grease from Ball joints. Do NOT SPRAY Directly into a Ball Joint, it could ruin it. Its Great For Doors in your House that squeak , spray on squeaky hinges , Front door where u put the Key in. Works Wonderfully ! Door Hinges in car doors, Spray in Key hole in door. Works awesome. a few blasts in door key hole ,put key in and out , a few more blasts , and key goes in & out like a dream. Enjoy !

When trying to pinpoint a suspension noise with WD-40, spray 1/2 the things you are unsure about. You might start by spraying the left side. If the noise goes away, wait until it comes back then spray 1/2 the left side. If the noise does not go away, you know it is in the other half of the left side. So spray half of the half. Etc.

WD40 is highly flammable without the straw inserted into the nozzle. As a kid I used to use a lighter and make a blow torch with it. I assume it’s because it’s more of a liquid with the straw in it as opposed to an aerosol without the straw.

Probably more aerosol, but also in the old days WD-40 used propane as a propellant in the cans. That was a lot more flammable than today's mix.

Without the straw it'll light up. Atomization

[@cliftongreene5318]

@Winchester & Ricko: By your logic if I blow gasoline through a straw it will no longer be flamable

[@optimaprime8970]

WOOOOF 💥😆 someone make a remix of this

[@bekf606]

I spray WD-40 on the bumpers, front section of the hood, and side mirror housing when doing an overnight long drive. It makes it so easy to remove the accumulated dead bugs in front of the car.

[@Deadreke]

Your Awesome and very helpful! Thank you so much for your channel and videos. 😀 you have literally saved me numerous times , on car repairs. I appreciate you and keep up the great videos 👍

[@Doomster9]

The stream won't catch fire, however if you have the wide spray (like an aerosol can) version of WD-40 it is EXTREMELY flammable...

Yea it definitely burns, just it's not that sensitive, especially with the basic delivery.

[@500erider]

An internal combustion engine with a clogged carburetor or fuel system will run off WD 40 alone, if it is atomized, so yes, it IS flammable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pcno2832]

Yes, and it made me cringe when he sprayed it onto the lighter and splattered himself in the process; it vaporizes almost instantly as it's soaking into cotton. His clothes could have become a giant wick .

I know you hate the air struts. Sometimes they make a squeal sound when opening/closing a door/hood. I found a drop of gear oil on the struts makes them move like new! Probably stops them from tearing up the internal seals also.

Scotty, I got an engine light code P0793, intermediate shaft speed sensor A circuit no signal, on Sienna 2005. I wonder if it's because of dirt or grease causing it. Is there a place I can spray wd40 to try to revive the speed sensor circuit?

[@rufusrunsgsp4610]

Great Info Scotty, I have had 3 cans that are half full, or empty, and no more will spray out. So I'm looking for an alternative maker, is there one?

[@Avaddon911]

I've always been a pb blaster man myself. Some great ideas in this video.

[@johnchandler1687]

PB Blaster is the best to loosen stuck or rusted stuff, but it's not a good long term lubricant. WD-40 isn't either. Gunsmith call WD-40 the money maker because it attracts dust and powder residue and leaves them in need of a professional cleaning.

[@Avaddon911]

@@johnchandler1687 Yes long term lube is obviously not a liquid but something thicker like grease. Hence the term "penetrating oil" it's to get rusted parts unstuck, not to lubricate anything.

[@TwenOalley]

[@Aswaguespack]

Whip City Wrencher the first 39 formulations failed to pass the specs for the military Rocket program. The 40th try worked.

[@nickonickster1]

Not true

[@Aswaguespack]

Nicolas Roman From Wikipedia “According to Iris Engstrand, a historian of San Diego and California history at the University of San Diego, Iver Norman Lawson invented the formula, while the WD-40 company website and other books and newspapers credit Norman Larsen. According to Engstrand, "Lawson was acknowledged at the time, but his name later became confused with company president Norman B. Larsen. “WD-40" is abbreviated from the term "Water Displacement, 40th formula", suggesting it was the result of the 40th attempt to create the product. The spray, composed of various hydrocarbons, was originally designed to be used by Convair to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion. This outer skin also functioned as the outer wall of the missile's paper-thin fuel balloon tanks, which were so fragile that, when empty, they had to be kept inflated with nitrogen to prevent them from collapsing...... In Engstrand's account, it was Iver Norman Lawson who came up with the water-displacing mixture after working at home, and turned it over to the Rocket Chemical Company for the sum of $500, which today (2019) is about $4,600. It was Norman Larsen, president of the company, who had the idea of packaging it in aerosol cans and marketed it in this way.” 👍🏻

I had a Troybilt riding lawnmower that would get so it steered hard and squeaked when you turned the steering wheel. It didn't have grease fittings, so I sprayed it with WD 40 and it cured both problems. Years ago i had a house that had the old wooden sash windows. They opened real hard until I sprayed them with WD 40. Great stuff!

[@nurburgringkid]

is there anyway to extend the life of engine mountings and coils? cos in some models those could be expensive. thanks

[@hcmisra8659]

WD-40 used to be highly flammable before because it used propane as the propellant, they changed it to CO2 now and so it tends to not let the oil component of the chemical catch fire, but if you aerosol it, it burns really well.

[@3beltwesty]

In the college dorm rooms kids would shoot a fireball of WD40 under ones dorm room door as a prank. OR tape up a 9x12 envelope with duct tape and fill it up with shaving cream. Then slide an open end under the door with the closed end taped to the floor. Then they would hit the envelope with a giant book to send the shaving cream around inside the room

Hi Scotty, I truly love your videos, your blend of goofy humor and insight into cars has such variance from those who take themselves too seriously. My question is one of Maintenance. I have a 2015 Mazda 3 GT.. It has been a wonderful car(and I have owned some clunkers, so I KNOW). I currently have 65,000 miles on it and change the oil(with synthetic as required by my warranty) every 7500 miles. I have not done anything else to it except brakes, tires, and wiper blades. I am looking to give it a little tlc.. Transmission fluid and filter, air filter and ??????? That is my question, what would you recommend to keep things as close to new as possible.. It is the 2.5 liter model, but I think there are a lot of us out here with newer cars, that are well built(BY THE JAPANESE!!! I had to fight with 3 dealers to make sure I got a Japanese made one and not a Mexican made one), and want to do preventive maintenance on a budget without necessarily following the dealers playbook. Tx in advance..
