Scotty Kilmer where do you find #5 "common sense" seems I can't find any no matter where I look, last time I saw some it was about 15 years ago?
Scotty Kilmer do you know anything about 2012+ Silverados burning a lot of oil due to a faulty pcv valve and if so how to confirm?
Scotty Kilmer
Hi sir hope everything is going well with you. I have 2010 Toyota highlander, 2.7 engine but can't find the PCV valve if you can help me out with . Thank you
Scotty, I have a 2007 Pontiac Torrent that burns a lot of oil, so I decided to replace the PCV valve, but on this vehicle, the PCV valve doesn't just pull out, there is some kind of bracket holding it in. I've seen some videos on youtube where the bracket holding the pcv is actually riveted to the valve cover. Does that mean that these pcv valves aren't meant to be replaced?
You forgot to add one cat for piece of mind.
Daaaaaang Scotty! My 1994 Silverado started burning oil. I love this truck, bought it new and have babied this thing. I grudgingly decided to put her out to pasture.....only has 190k miles but I watched your vid here on pcv valves. I said heck, why not give it a try. Bought a 3 dollar pcv at auto zone and VOILA! No more burning oil!
I'M NOT WORTHY, I'M NOT WORTHY Thank you again, Scotty!
nice!!!
Sometimes I help people with their cars and they ask where I got my automotive education I just say Kilmer University. But on a Serious note thank you Scotty you have saved me a fortune.
Homer Pile THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN STOLEN
Same me bro
Do they ever get clogged after a valve cover gasket replacement. Notice the burning oil that was done
I feel so smart my car is doing that right now I was so scared and was saying there goes my head gasket. Before I have been doing research I would have sent it to the mechanic and I would have probably been getting ripped right now. So now I know it can be three things and so glad to know it’s not my head gasket🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@Djneyon79 I am going to change the PCV then see what happens, lots of blue smoke in the morning!
Over 6 months, 5 different mechanics, new plugs, coils, MAF, random catalytic efficiency codes, etc. And they kept telling me my car must be burning oil (though no signs) and I shouldn't bother. Last night got flashing engine light and massive misfires. Plug 3 was all gummed up. Again, engine must be burning oil and has to be piston rings. I'm done for they said. Found THIS video. Bought a valve and brought it back to the guy and told him to check. Original valve was SHOT. Probably hasn't been changed in 7 years (freaking Nissan!) Changed the valve. Changed the hose. Changed the 2 plugs. It's been only 12 hours, but it's running like a new car. No misfires. No stuttering. No codes! Thanks for the video! Probably saved me thousands of dollars and a crap ton of stress!!!!
Love getting oil advice from the former singer of Journey.
Really?
@@michaelgutierrez6293 yeah really
Bruhhhhh😂
I can see why you're Feeling That Way.
who sounds like Rod Stewart
My Sentra was smoking horribly. I found this video and was sooooo skeptical. Nothing I try for car repairs is ever an easy, cheap fix. However, I found a pcv valve for $2 and put it on. BAM!! I have not seen a bit of smoke since. I am ecstatically happy! Thank you so much for this, Scotty! You are the man!
My Sentra used to smoke really bad too. Like, two packs a day. Finally I was like 'look bitch, I ain't buying your cigarettes no more. You need to get on the patch or something.' Then it started taking Chantix and like three days later I went out in the garage and it was dead. Committed suicide.
Brett Winstead smoke from the tail pipe?
nah bro it would smoke from the hot air intake ;)
yo wtf lmfaooo
Marvin Harrison Smith II haha
I love this guy! This guy has save me thousands of $$$ for a new motor! I like how honest he is and everything actually makes sense! He’s made fixing cars way less stressful and fun! You are the man!
These videos are addictive... I can't stop watching them.
This is what we need to watch on tv, how to save money and be smart but instead of a $10 valve they would recommend a 89kTesla . Scotty just a good man from a true generation of Americans.
89k Tesla 😂😂😂😂 sounds about right.
Scotty is the parts stores dream. "Buy this and cross your fingers." Instead of actually diagnosing the problem. Load up that parts cannon should be the line at the beginning of the video.
@Jack K that's where the diagnosis comes in. You replace the broken thing, when you know what's broken. Those who don't know, guess, with their fingers crossed. With all of the time people spent watching this windbag, they could have learned actual information.
Scotty... thank you so much... I dont know how many people you've saved and helped. But you've helped me hundreds of times.. and that's what a dad does.. Thank you.
I get oil burning type smell only when I start my car in the morning. There's no smoke, just smell while starting and then it disappears. Will this help?
Kids do not be afraid, he is only an old intellectual hippie from your dad's era. He knows his stuff!
PEACE!
He has a Bachelor's as well as a Master's Degree.
Scotty, you are the only one I can go to and find an answer right away. I went through 3 videos before this. You explained exactly what is happening. Thank you so much.
A buddy was visiting, and said he was using oil excessively. I watched your video on burning oil. We looked up the PCV for his engine, and I had the part already! Shared parts across model/make are awesome!
This is purely retirement goals. Scotty's mechanical skills are what helped him survive through the dinosaurs
Mr. Kilmer, I've been working on cars since I was a teenager so roughly 28 years. I just wanted to take a moment and tell you Thank You for what you are doing. You give people good information, it's presented well, and it's given in terms that are easy for people to actually understand. Having always worked on vehicles which are older (because I prefer less electronic controls) I've picked up quite a few tips and tricks from you that help with newer vehicles.
I have too
I get oil burning type smell only when I start my car in the morning. There's no smoke, just smell while starting and then it disappears. Will this help?
The way he cuts to different angles and postions mid sentence shows how awesome this fuggin guy is.
You are literally my hero. Thank you for what you do. I’m not sure I can figure my issue out on my own but I’m watching whatever videos of yours I can find but I feel I’m never going to figure it out and I don’t have the money to be wrong. Had an oil change 2 weeks ago, car started sounding like it needed one today. It’s low on oil and now I have smoke under the hood. From the back side of the engine best I can tell.
Did you ever figure it out
@@pazuzu810 Replaced the valve cover seals and it stopped smoking under the hood. Must have been spitting out oil onto the rear manifold. Manifold went and it was too costly to repair such an old car so I junked it. I’ve wondered in the oil contributed to it breaking.

a lousy 10 bucks to add a few more years to your cars life? priceless! thanks scotty!
Lol
Troll True on my old Pontiac 301 engine, we had an oil breather tube that would vent into the carburetor cover. At the end of That oil breather tube, it had a breather filter that we would change or clean every other oil change or so.
It's not priceless if it cost 10 bucks ;)
Perfect. I was actually looking for this exact problem and the very same car. Thanks Scotty.
Me to
Thank you Scotty. My 02 Chevy Tahoe was burning a lot of oil. I changed the PCV valve and now everything is all good now. Thank you.
I have been watching Scotty's channel for years, and he always has the simplest yet most effective advice. Thanks Scotty.
Thanks Scott I own a 2002 Honda Civic Si and it has used oil for the past 14 years. The Honda mechanic never told me that he has checked or replaced the PCV Valve. You even showed me where it is located. God Bless and Please Ride Safe...Amen.
I learn more from you than any of my shop coworkers who refuse to teach me stuff. Thank you scotty.
I did this on my 06 Chrysler 300 3.5L V6 Touring. And I no longer have to top it off. Thank you Scotty!!!
im always waiting for his signature sound "ughrrrr" when loosing nuts
Lol those "ughrr's" are how I checkpoint where I'm at when I'm following his repair videos!
Wow after watching this guy I'm motivated to actually open the hood!
If I were a LOT younger and not married, your picture would motivate me to ask you out. So we're even.
+Last Chance Let me guess, you want to check my oil with your dip stick!
+Jane Morgan No your transmission fluid with my dip stick, it's longer!
+ Last Chance Might as well check my rear end too!
+ Jane Morgan I'm going to need to do a full Dicknostic test and I have a special right now where I top you off with my fluids!
Love you, Scotty. My friend who helps me out with my vehicle was getting sick of me saying Scotty said this... Scotty said that... BUT now he listens too! I just sent him this video... 😎
LOL when dinosaurs around i was young mechanic
love your positive attitude and educational videos. Thanks for taking the time to edit them the way you do. Notifications are on brother! Thanks for all your help!
Thanks Scotty. Bought an 03 HondaElement that wasn't maintained well. Was burning oil. I changed PCV valve that was very dirty. Problem solved. Love your videos.
Dax C I highly doubt your crv is fixed, neglected K series Honda engines that burn oil need piston rings, very common.
Frank. T I'll believe that when my shit turns purple and tastes like rainbow shurburt.
Saved me a bunch of money and headache. Car was burning oil and the problem was the PCV valve. Thanks Scotty.
Thank you Scotty. I was having this problem and I got it solved. You saved me from selling off my favorite car.
GOOD MAN SCOTTY TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WITH THEIR CARS AND SAVE MONEY WELL DONE
PCV valves are often overlooked. myn on my honda civic is hidden under the intake manifold. when i finally replaced the pcv it stopped burning oil. good tip
+Mark N and the factory one almost never go bad .. buy aftermarket ,not so much
+Mark N I found out the one on my Focus is also under the IM. Plus some of the bolts are hidden. And the hose is usually toast. I'm still working up the courage to undertake it.
Thanks for the share - I'm in the Philippines and swapping out a lot of parts for my girl's car and her mechanic did not know about the PCV Valve. Glad that I have your RUclips channel so I can share this with him :)
I know this video is approaching five years old but it surely helped me today because for years I always thought this valve was the device that sat down in my valve cover gasket. My old car has been burning oil for quite some time. Perhaps this simple and cheap fix has been the culprit all along (because I was only changing the top piece that rattles). Thanks 😎👍
Scotty you make every job look easy. Good work and thanks for all your videos!
Scotty. I've been working on cars my whole life and after seeing your video you convinced me to replace my pcv - it didn't occur to me before. My car would not pass smog because of blue smoke after 3k rev when hot. I did the prayer and pcv change as you suggested, and I could not believe the results! No visible smoke! Thanks!!
Glad to hear it, thanks!
I get oil burning type smell only when I start my car in the morning. There's no smoke, just smell while starting and then it disappears. Will this help?
Thank you for making my life so easy Scotty!
Was using about a quart every 1000 miles; and this cured the problem totally; GO SCOTTY !!
any updates on the state of the engine 5 years later?
I really enjoy your videos. We are about the same age. I'm 66. I've been a gear head since before I started driving. I never was a mechanic by trade but worked in Dealerships in the sales end. People ask me if I am a mechanic and I tell them, no but I'm a decent parts changer and have some common sense. As badly as I don't want to say anything that can be read as profiling, I think that the people in my generation were and still are much more in tune with their car. This sin't everyone, by a long shot. I tell people that when I started driving, I bought my own car, paid my own insurance and had the money by the time I was 16. Naturally that is next to impossible today but my point is this. My first car was a 1953,. It had a 6 volt electric system, no seat belts, an AM tube type radio that took 5 minutes to warm up. It had vacuum wipers. I won't try and explain vacuum to them but just that the more you pushed on the gas, the less they worked. It had a three speed transmission on the column with overdrive. It didn't have power steering or disk brakes or power anything. We had to learn to drive, not just point. Almost all highways were 2 lane. You were forced to pay attention because you knew it was serious stuff. To get a license you had to do all the things you do today, plus know how to give hand signals. My second car was a 62 Nova. It was 5 years old and I was a senior in high school. It didn't have seat belts either, same radio. My point is this. We learned how to keep cars running because our parents were raised in the depression and feared it happening again. Cars were a lot simpler back then, but even today, if people take a personal interest in their car and learn the things that they can do themselves, it can save a lot of money. My dad owned a sling of service stations and taught me two things about cars. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, but little problems turn into really big ones. You have to have your car, so when something needs to be done, know what is important, but keep it maintained. It is always cheaper to keep a car running than to get one running. Sorry for rambling.
the cat was like : the fck is this man !? 😂
+Иван Калашников smells like crap it does ;p

Thank you for the information on the PCV valve it worked on my Subaru legacy GT there was no blow smoke coming out of my back end keep on the good work my man
Scotty you're a legend that I'll live on through RUclips forever.
Thank you Scotty for this awesome video. Not only that I learn a lot from your videos, I save a lot as well. Good job 👍
Scotty Kilmer is like one of those guys that seem some shit during the war.
AKFGFan lol
😂😂😂
AKFGFan low key I bet he probably did.
AKFGFan Like a lot of LSD..Scotty seems kool..Def a mechanic I would take my car to.
AKFGFan hahaha
Scotty Kilmer you are the best your videos always help me a lot thanks Scotty Kilmer
My god. This just came across my feed and its wild to see how much your vids have evolved since then.
Whose grandpa is this and where can I get one lol?
I'm sure he'd adopt you!
I would !
Shannon Kinchen I'm 23 and this guy's younger than my dad
Hahaha. You missed the Black Friday sale
Have some respect Shannon, he could teach u some shit
Seasoned mechanics years ago would look immediately to replacing the pcv in the tune-up process. Thanks for the important info. A small inexpensive item change like this can save a costly engine repair later.
You so much Scotty for all Your hard work the information you are providing is priceless
Thank you Scotty ,wish you the best in the time ahead in your life.
Love your videos. I learned a lot from it. Thank you 🙏
Why would anyone dislike this video? He's giving good advice and is very informative.
+traingp7 People dislike videos just to dislike them. Even if they like the video they just dislike it.
Mechanics that know they'll loose customers after watching this.
traingp7 car dealerships might. Lol
might be the cat friends :v
Anyone threatened by an honest person like Scotty... and jerks in general.
I really enjoy your videos. With that being said, I just changed out the PCV valve on a 07 Hyundai Elantra and it was not as easy as the video made it sound like.
You just helped me troubleshoot my cars problem. I just changed the valve cover and gasket, then my car started burning oil. I have never had a car burn oil. It didn’t before the cover replacement. However, your video just reminded me that I changed the PCV valve with a cheap O’Reilly part. That has to be the problem. Thanks.
this guy is great 👌
Hey Scotty! Thank you for this video. I was worried about my car burning oil and thanks to you I inspected my Hyundai Santro's engine and located the PCV valve. It was all clogged. I cleaned it up myself and I was still able to hear the noise it makes which proved that it was working. Once I placed it back and did an oil change. Its been ten days and my car hasn't lost oil yet. I have ordered a new replacement and will change it once its received. You just saved me a fortune too.
Hi , do You think this will work on a vw bora ?
@@costelkoko9886 no, those engines aren’t worth fuxing.
Thanks Scotty Kilmer . You are a smart mechanic.Your information is helpful.
I’m doing this today. Thank you Scotty.
Thanks! Great, informative and entertaining video. 'Think I'll go check my PCV valve!
I bought the Pcv valve on autozone and it came without the flat washer should be all right with out it I got a Honda Accord 2008 I like your videos
You just earned yourself a subscription, my good man!
Love this guys attitude and his information. Thanks
This guy would make a good rod Stewart impersonator
Neil Brown, that's fucking hilarious.
I would love to hear him sing MAGGIE MAY, Bet Scottie could sing it just like him!!!!!
Forever young
Rod Stewart or John Lennon?
Haha 10/10.
I like your vids scotty !! Keep going!!
You're the Man Scotty
My all time favorite mechanic ever!
LOVE your LIVE FREE OR DIE shirt!!!!
MERCH IDEA!
GREAT video and I got a BIG laugh with the cat part! Thanks Scotty!
Old school Scotty videos are really fun. Reminds me of other old news shows.
Love when I see a DIY job I can ( probably ) manage to do myself. Thanks Mr. Kilmer
Whether your videos are new or old they are always highly educational and equally as entertaining! P.S. I know how you feel about Chevy's but I have 2 Silverado's (a 93' standard transmission and a 00' automatic transmission) and I've taken great care of them and they both run absolutely tip top. The 93' is rusted to all hell (I live in Minnesota) and leaks a little oil but ALWAYS starts and runs with no problems. The 00' is actually in really good shape and is only just now starting to get the classic rust around the wheel wells. They seem to just want to last forever and I have no reason to get rid of them unless I want to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. But why upgrade if they work perfectly fine right?
Scotty, holla from Russia, your vids automatically translates in Russian- that's awesome, also there are subs in Russian- thank you very much!
Just cleaned mine. Thanks Scotty!
Excellent as always. we're going to try this.
WOW!
So, easy, next time I have my cat fix the PCV valve?
Thx, Scotty!!!!
The best and definitely the funniest car mechanic on RUclips! Thank you for your videos, Scotty!
Many times it's not the material that is difficult to understand- it's the presenter. Cheers to this guy for getting it right.
Scotty, you are our man. Thank you for this great advise. You are great man.
I got an 1976 F100 6 cyl a long time ago. It was running bad and had no power. The PCV valve in the top of the valve cover and the entire hose from it to the intake was clogged with oil deposits. I cleaned the valve (I was on the road) and used a stick to remove the clogged gunk from the pipe. It ran much better and got me home.
I had a 1966 Ford Falcon that quit running in the middle of nowhere. After checking a few things I knew I wasn't getting fire to the plugs. I popped off the distributor cap and the very end of the metal on the rotor cap was gone, broke clean off! From the rivet to the center (coil wire contact) was fine but there wasn't anything on the end to send the spark to the distributor ends of the plug wires. Luckily my dad taught me to ALWAYS put the old tune-up parts in the trunk when I did a tune-up, that saved the day! I put the old rotor cap on and went on my way! Saved me a tow truck call, especially since cellphones hadn't been invented yet.
A car mechanic will charge you hundreds of dollars just to change this.. of course they won't tell you what they changed.
Thanks to this guy I saved hundreds
great stuff scotty,, ur always on the ball,, many thanks
Thank you! For the info my 2005 CRV is burning up oil so I’m going to change the PCV valve
thanks. Valves are the key to life. Ask my heart that.
great point
Commonsense should be number one always lol love the vids
Another great informative and entertaining video. Thanks Scotty!!!
Love your videos. Thank you they have helped on several occasions
i love this guy... love the seance of humour :) :) :)
You are the best👍😀
Thank you Scotty! I love your videos!!
Very knowledgeable gentleman God Bless him
I know exactly what you did and said in this video but it was refreshing to see someone make a valid video that would help others. No nonsense and simple here is the part, what it does, do this to make it right. Kudos sir I will check out other videos you post. You seem like a person I would be happy to work with, get it done and move onto the next thing. I work with dipshits.
Most people do and that's why it's called work.
"Dipshits"
Everybody has a family that loves them, guy... Maybe if you treated these dipshits like yourself you could become happier doing what yall do
Damn hippie bullshit...
