Simple Car Maintenance to Prevent Expensive Repairs

Simple, straight-to-the-point advice. Keeping up with basic maintenance like oil and fluids really saves thousands in the long run

Some of this information is obsolete. Now he would never advise for a 8000 mile oil change or to skip the transmission fluid change.

He says every 5k with synthetic oil nowadays.

most Mechanics are prolly wanna kill Mr. Kilmer lol like who needs to go to auto shop after seeing this video

Goat

❤😂🎉 lol. my Honda is 368752 miles old today. 3000 miles oil change hx. Mobil 1 oil filter.

This guys a real G

I'm confused. In one video he says to change fluid even if it's lifetime, and in this he says you don't need to. Not consistent.

Who is this YOUNG BUCK !

Never use regular water to fill your radiator. Anti freeze keeps the system cooler and water has impurities that will clog everything up. Use water in emergencies only. I learned this the hard way with my 95 Accord. It had a small coolant leak so I just kept running hose water through it and eventually brown material started showing up and it clogged the system.

:Maybe not forever,but I&#39;m trying to reach a million miles on my Toyota&quot;<br>-Drives his Celica 800 miles a year

Keep in mind if you have a healthy diet and exercise you will look the same way into your 50s

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaKKSFEsAdI&amp;t=72">1:12</a> look at those oil prices

Plz stop yelling at me !! I will do whatever you say ;(

Also as important and easy to do:<br><br>1. Change air filter<br>2. Change cabin filter <br>3. Check tyre pressure regularly

Hi Scott I recently bought a cigarette phone charger for a vehicle possibly some info said it might fry an appliance or blow a,fuse but had 2 phones plugged into it almost all day if anything were going to happen nothing horrible happened if something terrible were going to happen wouldn&#39;t it have happened immediately? Thoughts please thank you so if had 2 phones charging almost all day and nothing happened as previously stated if were going to blow a fuse or fry an appliance don&#39;t those things happen immediately? So if after one day nothing happened would you be surprised if any thing terrible were going to happen as does it seem if some thing was going to happen it would have happened immediately Thoughts please thank you

He literally looks the same even 10 years ago...

Most entertaining car maintenance creator out there, thank you man!

Change transmission and differential oils. Coolant and brake fluid also. My 15 year old Subaru still runs like new.

Incredibly useful, ty

If you keep posting these videos the robots will take your jobs. Mechanics be like: fix your own damn car, Im busy!”

IS THE 2011 TOYOTA VENZA 3.5L 2GRFE ENGINE ONE OF THE BEST MADE? Especially if I never miss a 5k mile oil change. Will it go to 400k+ miles. Has 125k now.

The people that lists the tips for school works, are absolutely goated.

So, he changed his opinion about the &quot;no need to change&quot; transmission fluid?

As a female ..... I really love his vids .... helps me not to get ripped off

You should be a hard rock singer with your high pitched voice.

Synthetic oil or not, I still believe in oil changes every 3,000 miles.

I try to watch something like this everyday to teach me something,instead of mindlessly scrolling on social media

Amsoil %100 full synthetic oil is the best.

Oh how handy, I shall make a simple playlist of these useful car tips!<br>Thank you for sharing your wisdom! :D

Is scotty a veteran? I never noticed the army airborne before

Damn he&#39;s been at this for over 13+ years

Video rất hay❤❤❤❤

⛩️⛩️⛩️

Do you still drive that Toyota? If so, how many miles on it now? Close to 280k I would guess.

thank you, what a legend eh!

It&#39;s unbelievable that there are people out there capable of performing brain surgery but will never know how to change a spark plug. Humans are weird

Hi, firstly thanks a lot for the tips. What is the name of the machine used to check the battery and how much does it cost.

Forgot lots of things<br><br>Fuel filter<br>Air filter <br>Cambelt and water pump<br>Spark plugs<br>Fuel injectors<br>Serpentine belt

Damn, he didn&#39;t age.

Scotty u look the same 13 years later my guy glad for the good health❗️

Bro still has the same energy every year 🔥

Yep, you sure are simple Scotty.

Of course it’ll last forever.<br>He never drives the damn thing !<br>🤣😂🤣😂

Always a treat to go back to the older videos. It&#39;s like he barely aged.

head gasket often, leaks don&#39;t make em dirty that fast. or you just waited too long between changes and the stained oil made the new stuff dark fast. Mileage is really the only thing that matters in oil changes, color isn&#39;t that big of a deal as oils have detergents in them

pray you just need a new clutch, that&#39;s normally it. Because fixing transmissions themselves gets really expensive.

check the wiring and the fuses. Realize HID lights use lots of power and can actually melt wiring on the car.

377,000 miles on my 2008 Ford Expedition! Runs great! And the price of a new one? Forget about it! And, always keep good maintenance records as it is easy to forget when to service things.

syn oil laster longer and flows better in VERY cold climates which I assume you are not living in by the arabic. but it costs a ton more. i use normal oil myself

leave the fluid alone, change the speed sensor on the transmission

I remember watching this back then, OG youtube mechanic

I&#39;ve never seen

Changing his mind after 13 years on life time transmission fluid?

About 3 months ago my truck gave out on me at a Walmart, I had put in around 60k miles in it but I was like 5th owner of the thing so it had around 250k on it… after watching this video I think I might’ve blown my engine out lmao. The coolant in the radiator was a nasty dark brown color (obviously very different from when I first started with it) I used to think all you had to do was just top off the fluids and just change the engine oil and filter out. We live and learn

Thank you Scotty you’ve helped me ever since my first car man 🎉🎉🎉

Scotty I finally did it!! Sold my 2018 F150 and bought a 2011 Camry :)

scotty looks so young haha

For 2010 YouTube the quality is excellent! Most videos from this period were in 720p and look like garbage today, but this has aged beautifully. It looks like you&#39;re still using the same camera to this day. But hey if it ain&#39;t broke don&#39;t fix it!

Im definitely agree and trying to get one million miles out mine too

All Stores Please lower the cost of all Military and Local for all Brands of Maintenance Products &amp; Accessories and Production Cost Now That&#39;s a Much $$ The Whole thing Now 🙏🙏🙏

Step 1. Buy a Toyota.

ThNk u again...Ur my HERO

Love the cuts and transitions, makes it easy to pay attention, thank you!

If you want a car that last as long as mine, stay TUNED. XD Pun

Did you get that 1mil miles

I must not be doing to bad, age 22 and my 3rd gen eclipse with 327k miles and runs beautifully and I work on it myself.

Yep some guys just have natural sense about mechanics Scotty you do. I think my mechanic friends of 30 plus years watches your show to Don.

1. Oil &amp; filter. Fully synthetic (3x to 4x cost as reg)<br>2. Leave Transmission alone<br>3. Use extended-life antifreeze (5 yrs/150k miles) only $3 more than regular stuff.<br>4. Check battery terminals for corrosion and if so, clean with wired brush and spray with battery terminal protection spray.

Toyota should cut this guy a sales percentage.

Scotty needs to be a character Voice Actor

Thank you car fixing john lennon!

🇺🇲

hey saw this video got a 2004 3g eclipse ended up having flooded engine i dont wanna get rid of it its my dream car so what do i do

👍🏽

I’m starting a campaign to stop Scotty retiring.

love the sticker. 101st screaming eagles hooah.

love the screaming eagle rep

Uncle Scotty always slamming sh*t lmao

Workshops charge you some just to check your car and they haven&#39;t done nothing. These simple steps are easy to follow and save and no mechanic can lie if you&#39;re well informed

Mines at 216,000 and going strong. I never cared for my cars and they used to die within a year or two. This man and a few others on YouTube have taught me everything I need to know to keep my car running and even how to do basic repairs myself.

Got to love the Old School Scotty Vids

232k on that odometer.. lol..

How about differential fluid exchange (15 Rav4 fwd)?
