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!

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.

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.

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 !

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
@TheSimoc Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

I once sprayed it into the motor of my pos phantom vacuum. Well, wouldn't you know.... The exhaust of my phantom looked like the flaming exhaust of the bat mobile. I recall the flame shooting out the back was about 4 feet long. I think Scotty better take that statement back or clarify before someone gets hurt

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.

I was watching one of your videos yesterday and saw you tapping on the dash to get the heater fan to start working for a little while longer. 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 😊

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.

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

Great video, Scotty, but doesn't the oil get everywhere when you're looking for vacuum leaks? Won't that collect dirt? Could over-spray also cause nuts and bolts to come loose? Used sparingly and with the tube, maybe it's fine. Good point about getting it on the fan belt!

OK- I had to research this because back in the 80's WD-40 was definitely flammable. I know this because when I was in college we used to torch the roaches in our apartment with WD-40 in ceremonial fashion, and it used to come out like a flame thrower. After researching a bit, I discovered they did change the propellant from liquified petroleum gas to CO2 to reduce flammability. Great channel Scotty - I know little (if anything) about cars, I'm just here for the entertainment value!

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.

my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokees alarm kept going off, it was annoying, sometimes in the middle of the night. My neighbors were understandably pissed. Went to the jeep forum and they said sometimes certain the door latch gets wet or dusty and smart cars believe they are getting broken into thus setting the alarm. Recommendation was to spray some WD-40 and close and open car several times...and voila! Alarm problem was fixed.
