At the end of the day Tom it may be cheap oil but the fact you change the oil every 10000 miles is better than someone doing it every 30000 and using expensive oil

[@Alexander_l322]

Cheap oil is fine as long as it’s correct type for the engine and changed at the correct intervals. It’s when you use the wrong oil and or don’t change it on time.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Its not cheap oil. Tripple QX is made by Shell Oils.

[@VAX1970]

That is not actually true, the better the oil the longer it lasts and the less damage it does. You could use cooking oil and change it everyday, and it would kill the engine dead within a year.

[@throttlebottle5906]

change oil often, unless it all long highway miles. I stay with 3K miles (USA) regardless of oil type/claims. because I'm very hard on oil, short trips, hard driving, dirty conditions, blazing hot heat soak, cold weather short trips = major condensation and acidic oil.... they all want to sell you a new vehicles more often, it just doesn't work out that well in the long run (advanced socialism) end results are products that do not last and cost ten fold more then their value..

[@yunggolem4687]

@@throttlebottle5906 Engines and oils have different oil change intervals and the type of driving matters as well as how old the vehicle is. 3000 miles is a semi-reasonable rule of thumb, but it is largely arbitrary. A car driven 80% highway, 20% city with quality full synthetic will benefit much less from 3000mi oil changes. 5000 or even 7000 may be the point at which the lubricity additives and detergents and base stock have fallen below the allowable performance threshold. Of course as cheap as oil is and as easy as changing oil is for most cars, there's no reason to try to get another 50% lifespan out of your 20-30 dollars worth of oil.

[@jaygallagher6522]

It’s crazy it was only 10 months ago “one day we will have a unit of our own” look where the team is now ❤️

[@artisanelectrics]

So true what you say about it depends on what the agents are like, I work for one great agency where they allow me to maintain my standard of quality work and don't quibble about price. Some agent are not so helpful.

[@mcfrosty8739]

15:15 Massive respect to Naomi, shame not everyone has this clear sight

[@CuriousFocker]

I'm not sure whether it's Tom, the camera guy, Naomi, or the content of the video, or all of them, but these videos are becoming addictive.

[@JessieMHadaller]

Agreed lol

[@MrAustin241080]

Tom I’m sure Your to blame as well 😂😂😂😂

[@MrAustin241080]

Quite agree although I’m liking the van servicing with Tom and Naomi laying under the van getting sexual just close Your eyes and listen it has a different meaning 😂😂😂😂

[@tejpalsinghparmar6443]

Richard Logan I know right I’m a mechanic watching this crap

[@darraghjoyce5663]

its nom nom

[@TYLERCONSTRUCTION]

At the end of the day, it’s your personality to have sexual jokes and banter , I find them brilliant. If people get offended by it, don’t watch, simple. Great video 👍👍

[@denislostinlondon199]

"Carry on..." lives on.

[@fireblaster9961]

Love how theses videos are becoming the uk version of this old house

[@noskills9577]

Which ones Norm?

[@bba48]

I just recently checked into Tom's channel after a while and I think it's headed in that direction

[@poggs]

Needs more rabbits and biscuits

[@deathk26]

Before I clicked on the video the title stopped at Servicing Nom... All that popped in my head was "Servicing Nom Nom" lol

[@THEELECTRICSIDEOFTHINGS]

Another good job I enjoy watching the passion you have for your job you have inspired me to start my own KZbin channel I live in Canada and I am an industrial electrician keep up the good work I enjoy watching and have a great day

[@FaisalKhan-yk9oc]

Hi Tom I’m a 4th year apprentice working in commercial and industrial installations and love watching your videos not only are they educational and some what fun to watch but helps me understand more domestic installations better and should help me to be a better overall spark (eventually) thanks dude keep up the hard work!!

[@Thequichedude]

I actually love the “banter” it’s funny and you’re both laughing!

[@HighlandSteam]

Loved the banter. Brings a good giggle to my dull day.

[@zacherynuk842]

Love the f&B chalk paint their. Elephants breath grey... Magic sponge at the ready!

Love the banter between you two.

Thanks for the tip for the SES holders! I'm a first year apprentice and I actually used your tip at a job today.

When you moved the light and the white bit just floated my brain blew up!!

Nom Nom is a treasure, adds so much more than Tom2. Now he just needs to Oy her enough to not run off. Work on that Tom1.

[@daanwilmer]

You mean Dave?

[@mikecollins2139]

Another great video just got your short message today Tom thanks a million 😎👍

[@thomasnagy]

No worries pal 👍

[@nsoper19]

Now we know why he makes these videos. Evidence for the impending court case for workplace harrasment. 👍

[@mozismobile]

Against Nom?

[@Clearwater420]

Sad thing in old folks home I work for as housekeeping , that happen when they fired another employee , luckily I had higher level staff and other coworkers stand up say what she said wasn't true .. peace

[@tabbywoolf4054]

Oooo Nay Nays the gnome !!! You can do this to my car when it gets home , also Tom I’m impressed😮 that you have learnt to keep your mouth shut with her , I’m still learning to do that after 31 years of living with her🤔! Amazing video guys . Keep up the good work 😁

[@RaithUK]

Love the video guys i love the banta-chemistry with you 2 its awesome!

[@jasonbillington3923]

great video.. worth the watch and a trip to the shop for a wine ti. watch. great x

[@jamesdyas542]

I’ve noticed an old transit van I scrapped about 3 years ago is still on the road. No way it’s got a proper mot it was as rotten as a pear. The last 2 Mot’s I had were somewhat dubious. Excellent videos thanks.

[@placoplatreelectecity4669]

Great work im one of your fan. Im from algeria. And i lived in manchester for ten years

[@jamiecullen9075]

LNES Smith chill out will ya

[@t.jtheron4790]

Put a small plastic bag over the filter case before dropping it. Catches the oil for you.

[@nordlands8798]

Massive thumbs up for not marking up materials and rather using a transparent hourly rate. Just wish I had a local electrician doing that, I'm tired of always getting a huge shock on estimates because of seemingly random markups - I've seen everything from 5% to 1200% up from what the materials actually costs.

[@mcfrosty8739]

You're telling me local sparks are charging you 1200% of what the materials actually cost, not adding in the cost for everything else like labour?.. Are you sure that's not just the entire price including labour and cert which carries along a great risk that sparks factor in in to their price?

[@hasanucar5456]

Love this channel.

[@Kulvinder1974]

I love your content. As a blind person, I love the way things are described, and the banter adds a bit of fun to the videos. As another commenter have said, you don’t like it, switch off. Simple as that.

[@terrystephens1102]

Great video, you know how to use your time effectively 😃👍👍

[@GreenHawkConstructionltd]

Another great video Tom I used to be a mechanic and now I Sparkie but there’s nothing like warm engine oil on your hands on a freezing morning 🥴. Keep up with the banter if people are offended then i they are best to watch the early videos 👍

[@andyholmes4676]

The banter is good btw, innuendo is funny! 👍

[@joshuaculross1387]

0:54 Tom uses magic to keep the glass doughnut floating lol

[@lonewolfgeoff]

lol the inuendo is well liked by me! the banter etc is a bit of fun, shows your not a dictator tom! 😊 it makes your vids even better! im sure either of you overstepped the mark too far you would make it clear it was a no no! that apartment... wow!

[@throttlebottle5906]

only thing I can add to the actual service work, test start on lift before re-installing shield!!! if you did miss something, you wont have to remove all the bolts again lol or triple check everything, as I have learned to do, even though I have not missed more then a handful of times in many years, it's always a good habit that take an extra few minute or less.

[@LSF315]

For the first time, now watching Tom in the big screen as opposed to iPhone app. Good video though with the only downside being it’s highlighting your grey bits 😀

[@dreadlysmellybum]

As long as the oil meets the standards, it's fine... The rest is marketing.

[@hughhennessy7912]

Exactly.

[@APSuk2]

I agree, a cheap crap oil filter on the other hand not so much, the countless times I have seen oil filters that have collapsed/failed well inside their service life & caused engine damage due to oil starvation I don't care to count. I see it the same as buying quality sockets & switches for how much more they cost over cheap crap its not worth it the saving.

[@Mouldybreaad]

Love it!

[@CrazySparkie63]

That wet and warm sensation lol.

[@daemoncan2364]

If you're changing your own oil, see if they make a "fumoto" valve for your engine.

[@Cardetailingburnley]

You and nom nom should be the best and are the best if I get a family member who needs an electrician i will send them your way

[@ptopping2012]

Greetings from Manchester once again...... love love love love love your videos... Keep them coming.....😁😎📽️👍👊✌️🍻🏍️

[@robertharris8106]

I think that growing up most of us knew a 'garage' that would sort out an MOT and you're right, these days I wouldn't consider it & I make sure my kids take their cars to the garage I use because I know they are going to do a proper job. I did actually laugh out load when you showed the three cables in the one gland, about as waterproof as a teabag!

[@callumrowley2203]

Exactly my van was due it's mot in June but been moved to December. Put it in the garage yesterday to get the handbrake tightened. Told my mechanic to give the van a once over to make sure it's still good. Turns out I had an illegal tyre on the back.

[@harrycoutts4587]

Amazing video as always, could you do a van tour as a sunday video?

[@michaelarmstrong937]

Great video as usual. Hilarious as normal :)

[@Mark...]

Project Farm has already done some videos on engine oil 👍

[@heartweddingsphotography2490]

Love to watch your videos bud, when you mention or recommend gear, maybe worth placing the link to the items as sometimes we may not quite catch the brand. If that makes sense :-)

[@kf5tqnkf5tqn36]

@thomas nagy. You might have a look at Fumoto -- they make oil drain valves you can install when changing the oil and the next time, you remove a clip, (optionally attach a hose), flip the valve open & drain the oil without the mess. EZ Oil is another company. Both might be available in the old dart on Amazon.

[@kevinpoore5626]

Well I work for a property management company in the US then we have what we call a move-out inspector and their job is to find what the tenants messed up for me to fix before the new ones move in and I've almost seen it all doing that broken toilets holes in walls wiring ripped out of the walls and ceiling so yeah it's a unique job

[@devlinmaguire8074]

Its all about perspective to me the view is of a building site , nice place tho, great video as er usuall

[@imark7777777]

In my three common tradition. Oil like many things I suspect has a limited number of manufacturers and a multiple number of re-branders and labels with slightly different additives. I know this is true for a lot of things from China and food products where you’ll have a store brand that's most often a re-brand.

[@cragrat7394]

When you say “beautiful Bernard “ would that be in reference to a turkey farmer ? If so I do the same.

[@samosa434]

As long as its the correct grade oil recommended for the vehicle its all good.

[@throttlebottle5906]

that oil looked like "texas tea", "black gold", aka "crude oil", change it more often on your short run driving.

[@tomhond4006]

Does anyone have a link to that light fitting?

[@Marri-Tech]

VW Audi cars with oil filters in the position of the van have a valve in the housing you can release and it dumps all the oil from the filter housing before you undo it making it relitavly clean to do

[@mtrim550]

Why don’t you put a mark up on your materials Tom? Is that just for real estate jobs or in general??

At times you get what you pay for and that represents value, other times it's mostly about the sizzle, leaving more margin for those at the top and still at the mercy of the shortcuts / time pressures on the worker. Certainly common in high end real estate, etc.

The problem today Tom is people have lost their sense of humour! There's nothing wrong with a bit of banter, we have all been through it and as long as you know the boundaries, have some fun! You know what they say , if you can't take it, don't dish it out!

I'd be very cautious with those LED candle bulbs at 2:35. I've had two or three of them flicker, hiss, fizzle, pop (literally) and go out in a puff of smoke. (I am not an electrician so I can't explain why, but that's my experience with them)

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Euro CarParts own brand oil (Tripple QX), is made by Shell Oils. So its good quality oil. It even meets the MB Diesel oil specs which are quite hard to obtain. Fair play that Naomi changed the oil on her van, a good "Have a go" attitude. Its not hard after all. And if you did it yourself then you know its actually been done. Some places like QuickFit etc use oil sucktion from the filler tube. So they dont need to drop the lower engine pan. I personally frown upon this method as it can leave more of a build up of carbon lumps in the sump.

There is an old saying in America you pay peanuts for wages you get monkeys for help. I have did many service calls where people either did it themselves or hired someone who really didn't know what they were doing. You show up and they say I know I wired it right. Usually not even close. You also learn diplomacy. Why , because a lot of times you end up back there again.
