Good morning we moved to Florida I’m looking for a new mechanic can you guys work on a 2016 Buick enclave premium

[@douglasburford8452]

I have noticed the fender brace has been removed from the right side to install a 2nd battery. Does that work out alright?

Truck is in excellent shape. Hats off to the owner and mechanic who did the work.

[@BlackCloud82]

Ray, I had the same experience with the child safety lock. I had never had a car with that feature but when I was going nuts thinking I would have to tear the panel off, my nephew (known for mischief) said "What about the kid lock?". Voila, it was fixed. Real wakeup call for an older adult driver. 🥴 Addendum: The mischievous nephew was the one who set the lock. 😡

[@thecuss6817]

My adult daughter couldn't open the rear door from the inside one Christmas Eve, 2005 Yukon. Early Christmas morning I investigated, took off the door panel, then noticed what looked like a diagram of a spaceman. Turns out that it was a child safety lock icon, had no idea vehicles had such lock.

Handy tip, you can use the dipstick in the fill tube when you pour in the new oil and the oil will go down the dip stick so you don't spill it.

All of the fancy oil filter wrenches in your collection and you go for old reliable, that is my favorite tool as well. And the owner of the Mustang is saying “Yes it still spins the tires” I wait to see if people who service my 2013 VW bug with a 2.0 T. 200 horse engine spin the tires by mistake thinking it is just a wimpy vw. My wife unit used to spin the tires every morning when she left the house when she was working from the office. And she wants an old mustang for me to modify. I’m still having to much fun with her bug!

I have a 2015 Silverado 2500 4x4 with 150000 miles and have had no problems at all except needed a new battery last year.

[@davidgrenfell1484]

Watched a video where the mechanic used a shop vac on the fill pipe to create a vacuum in crankcase so no oil would drip or splash while removing drain plug .

[@legionofanon]

I ordered a stahlbus drain valve for my truck, and it was delayed in shipping. Of course it arrived an hour after i did an oil change. I had seen a similar video and had an idea, got a helper to hold the vacuum for a minute and i changed from a plug to the valve and lost not a drop off oil. It's a good trick

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

@@legionofanonyes, it is and works on nearly all cars.

[@paulfairbrass4424]

You mentioned not following diagnostics procedures. I caught a video yesterday. A guy had a customer's car, they'd been for an oil change elsewhere and ended up with crank non start. A quick check of the fuses, the oil change shop had pulled the fuse of the fuel injection and left it lying in the fuse box. Now that's sly.

[@JC-bk5is]

You do good work Ray. Not all of us are haters and trolls. I appreciate your videos.

Good morning Ray 🌄 if Troy did come back well welcome back 🤗

[@johnmarino4085]

It’s throw back Monday! Semantic was awesome!

[@Hotlineelec]

I’ve heard the oil on the finger thing and the reasoning behind it is that any microscopic particles suspended in the oil will latch on the the groove in your fingerprint and cause it to go sideways as opposed to clean oil that has no suspended particles will flow straight down. I don’t follow this method for determining the life of my oil I actually try and change it early, but there’s the reasoning behind it and do with it as you wish!!

[@joshuamerrill2422]

I’ve heard that from my dad ,whom has worked on cars for decades, about the oil not following the fingerprint grooves

[@dotar9586]

Your Dad just wanted you to dribble old engine oil on your hand. 🤣🤣 You were probably holding the flashlight wrong!

[@111smd]

ray while you where doing the door latch all i kept yelling at the screen was "Check the Child Safety Latch" i have seen them activate from someone brushing up against them with a bag

[@SiblingCreature]

uh huh... As soon as the problem was described that's where my mind went and before he'd even finished removing the panel he showed the child lock on camera and sure enough... but then he went and removed the panel anyway. 🤣

[@bobby9195]

Good morning Mr Ray hope y'all have a great day 😁

[@bobbg9041]

I was told if your eggs float in it wile cooking its still good, but if flames break out in the pan its past time to change it. But i like to push it and run it 3 more years.

[@TheJuggalo1491]

My Dad use to put oil between his finger and thumb and stick them together to see how sticky it was to see if viscosity was good. He did that mostly while checking the oil. If he didn`t like it he changed it before the Mileage oil change was do.

[@kevincurry4735]

Happy manic Monday Ray. A fine video to start the week.

[@blackwolf8281]

Ray.. back in the day our child safety lock was dad telling us "don't mess with the door handles or you'll fall out.. and I'm not stopping to pick you up! " LOL!! At that time we had a 67 Tornaddo, with vinyl seats and sliding from one side of the backseat to the other.. LOL!! Anyways.. I'm 55 and still like to spin the tires and do power slides.. Hee Hee! Another fun video Brother.. Thanks..

[@nigelwright7557]

We had a mechanic change the oil on a motor. He came to fill it up and he couldnt get it filled to the right level on the dip stick. Turned out he hadnt put the sump bung back in so new oil went into waste oil barrel.

must be a few weeks old, Dirty max is in runnung shape out side, & Troy is still working, just getting caught up after a week in Vegas, We will watch and wait for your new stuf later this week.

[@darrellmellott6096]

Yup, 8,000 miles is a bit long for an oil change. I change the oil in my 5.6 Nissan V8 within 5,000 miles (8,000 km, I live in Canada). Cheap protection from sludge build up that can cause costly repairs. My wife just bought a Mazda CX 30 with a 2.5 L 4. The manufacturer recommends 16,000 km oil changes. When we picked the car up and I told the dealership that I would be bringing it in every 8,000 km for service, they said "Yes, we recommend that for all of our customers. We want to sell people new cars, but not enough to have them wreck their engines in 5 years."

I couldn’t see enough of it to be 100% sure, but it looks like the “Idler arm”. That looks original and the boot is likely torn. Odd that it didn’t get replaced when the rest of the steering gear was replaced. They aren’t expensive or difficult to replace, just 2 bolts to the frame and one ball joint nut that attaches to the drag link. Weird.

Never heard of the finger test for oil!

[@bobbg9041]

Ok the oil finger thing, Well it depends on who said it and how serious that persons is. Unlike the poor kid looking for the leak with a spray bottle on a tire that wasn't on the rim, he sprayed it turned it sprayed it, he had already went around it 2 times looking for the leak with a soapy bubble spray. Now someone in the shop played a crud joke on this poor kid because bless his heart he was serious about trying to find it. But without any air pressure he was doomed to fail unless he found a nail or something.

[@greglinarelli9401]

try the oily finger with fresh oil to conclude your theory

[@craigquann]

I've never heard of this "fingerprint" oil test. I've only ever gaged it on color, smell and feel (Rub it between 2 fingers) to test if it's slick, or gritty/thin.

Raymond - I'd like to ask you { why did you not prefill the oil filter }- Rule of thumb here especially when it comes to v8 engines Always prefill the filter as less damage to the lower end bearings - Being what engines are today that they aren't as what they use to be 20 years ago.

[@mauricebarnett6951]

Hi Ray, love your videos . From the UK here and yes had to laugh at the child lock, I was thinking check that first. Had a similar thing happen to me, had my daughter and grandson out in the car one day to do their shopping, next day come out to my car Land rover Discovery 2 TD5, the car would not open with the key fob, totally dead battery. Charge battery car starts no problem, took it to a motor factory to buy a new battery, battery is drop tested all OK according to the test, left it another day, same thing again, wouldn't open, recharge the battery, back to the motor factor, another drop test battery all good, possibly was a short somewhere. Decided to go and get the car checked out at an auto electricians, had to reverse car back slightly to get out of forecourt, I turned around to check out of thenback before reversing and it was then I noticed the blooming interior light in the middle of the car was on, grandson had been messing and put it on. Switched it off battery was good for a few more years after that lol
