"Oil fan boy" eh?🤣
Scott thank for the tips
3:59
At least Scotty admits to his errors. We're all human!
I'm the same. When talking distracts me from my primary task, I make errors.
@elit3,,I was gonna say exactly what you said 👍
Respect for including the part where you forgot to plug it back in. Old school 100%
Scotty taught me almost 80% about cars. He is my all time favourite mech. Forever blessed bro
He spent 5 seconds talking about his favorite oil. Thanks.
For nothing.
he needs to do a Castrol compilation from over the years of mentioning it and then we would have a favorite oil vid.
Mobil 1 is better, I used both.
@@FeelFree3 are you talking about the oil filters?
@@dobuto23 I am talking about motor oil like what Scotty talked about.
I use canola oil for my vehicles & fully synthetic for cooking.
Renewable Lubricants use canola oil...Bill had it figured out in 1994 . His best stuff has a bunch of canola oil in the formula
😂
Your motor will never have ...cholesterol problems....
Plus, one crushed up Viagra for every quarter of oil.. Your engine will get all stiff like it's brand new again..

Kentucky Jelly is for the win.
I have got to meet Mr Scotty some day. An absolute legend and has been my teacher here at the University of RUclips lol with all things vehicles for so long. I owe him so much with all the stress he's saved me!! Thank you for everything you do Scotty!!
Mail him a box of chocolates or something
@@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat. Flowers would be nice 😂😂😂
I have a 2007 M35 that kept draining my newer battery. Nothing worked properly including the key fobs. One night I was in my garage and I heard the fan go on from the car in the driveway. The car hadn't been driven in almost 2 days so there was no reason for the cooling fans to come on. Turns out it was the sensor attached to the radiator between the fans that was the culprit all along. It would drain the battery overnight and then created more issues with key fobs not working or even not recognizing them at all (and yes I replaced the fob batteries as well). If this problem sounds familiar, try this simple $50 fix. Easy for anyone to do yourself.
Well change the oil pressure gauge it worked for this guy lol
A friend's mom's Chrysler Cordoba would drain its battery overnight. Early one dewy morning we noticed that there was very little dew on the trunk lid while the rest of the car was covered with water droplets. The trunk light had been staying on and running the battery down. I removed the bulb and that solved the problem.
I had a BMW, it was trying to send hot coolant for the driver's heating zone while I slept. After it killed the battery the remote entry and key wouldn't open the driver's door, but the key opened the passenger door. Very naughty cars, many owners can't get into their BMW's every day.
I have a G35 that drained batteries as fast as you could charge them. Water had gotten through the firewall due to drains clogged and a seal being loose and leaked on the Body Control module, which responded by shorting the microcontroller and turning on random circuits such as lights, defrost heater etc.
Supertech full synthetic 395,000 miles on my Ram Pro City.

@@Greasytrader It is a 2016 Dodge Ram Pro City van.
As an IT dude, I can also admit to forgetting to plug something back in 🤦♂️ LOL
All of us IT guys do that!
Every time I build a PC or unplug everything on one, I do a checklist before pressing the power switch. But the thing I have overlooked the most is remembering to turn on the PSU. It's always a relief to find out the reason the PC you just built isn't turning on is because you need to turn the PSU on lol
Great to see a Mechanic that can understand his expensive scan tool.
And for a Bonus we got to see Scotty use his belt loop key ring to pop the seal on the oil.
What a Great Mechanic!!!
Every manufacturer has an oil specification. You can see it printed on the oil container. My car has a few oils that meet the MB Spec. If the jug says MB 229.5, it’s good for my Mercedes-Benz. Brand is important, but the proper spec is more important.
I use Lucas full synthetic in my diesel.
Had the same issue with a Ford Mustang. Bought it used off a car lot. Apparently the oil had not been changed in a minute, and the car set a long time. After driving it about 10 miles, it did just like this. Changed the oil, ran like a top.
I took a car to a mechanic and paid $92 for them to tell me they didn't know what the problem was. I got home and looked it up on RUclips. Found the problem and had it running the next day
I would leave them a bad review and tell everyone to stay away! I would never charge my customers for a problem I couldn't find! Unbelievable
😂 that sucks so much but sounds completely legit
What was the problem?
Unfortunately they need paid for the time they spent inspecting your vehicle.
@@jacobwear9693 after I paid them they said they won't work on my cars anymore cuz they're old
My wife has this exact same car except it's a 2012. Only thing I ever change is oil & tires. Just put in new plugs, old set had 95000 miles, they looked new. Love the G37
to be exact..................... it would have to be the same year
Sounds like what a Democrat would say. LOL

I did consulting work for GM Performance and Hendricks Motorsports for a few years circa 2000.
NASCAR hp went from 740 to 815 hp. It was surprising to all that much of the gains were due to better lubricants, in particular Royal Purple…
Mobil 1 full syn. 2007 Tacoma. 322,000 miles and still runs like a clock. Change every 4500 miles
I've been using Moble 1 in my F150 since l bought it with 13000 miles on it . Recently l had a mechanic tell me not use synthetic on high mileage vehicle. It has 120000 miles on it now . Why would he recommend not to use synthetic oil ?
@@davidgregg2778
That is really strange. I have no idea. Synthetic is far superior than general oil. I’ve had zero issues with it and all my vehicles are super high mileage.
@@davidgregg2778If you have leaks you shouldn't but if you don't it's good.
@@davidgregg2778 No idea. It would be interesting to ask him why. My level of trust in that sort of advice is close to zero.
@@davidgregg2778Sounds like this mechanic doesn't know what he is talking about.
Thanks Scotty. I chased an engine miss for months ('88 Nis Blue bird LX). No one could find it. This model had a Taco, the lower spec ones a stupid econo gauge. At build, they crimped off the econo vacuum connection, still pulling normal vacuum. Fixed with a hose plug.
Scotty is indeed telling the best, maintain and fix your own car. And save a lot.
In my experience, Castrol is thicker oil at the same viscosity rating as other oils. Fine in warmer weather, not as good when it’s cold due to slower flow.
I owned a 1986.5 Supra that couldn't pass smog because of a check engine light code: The code referred to the oil sending unit according to a mechanic I no longer see: He replaced it, but the code came back within an hour of driving. I then took it to a local Buick dealership because someone referred me to his young mechanic friend: He simply cleaned the mass fuel air sensor and the check engine light finally went off and stayed off! So much for the engine code accuracy which made me replace a perfectly good oil sending unit when the the mass air fuel sensor just needed to be cleaned! And the young Buick mechanic didn't charge me anything!
That plastic under the car is not just there to keep snow out. It affects air flow under the car which changes your fuel mileage and it keeps gravel, dust, dirt and other crap out as well.
Meh I ripped mine off it was annoying. Been off 5 years, no issues.
Scotty says it don't need no stupid beauty cover.
I cut it back so l could access the oil drain plug and filter and left the rest.
Been using castrol for many years....wouldn't change unless I had to!
4Runners have a rear window that rolls down. The exhaust tailpipe on a 4runner is also at the right rear of the vehicle. Under heavy acceleration with the rear window down the exhaust funnels back inside of the vehicle and you will smell it every time the window is down. I’m on my 4th 4Runner now. On this current 4Runner that I own I installed an aftermarket exhaust system and now dump the exhaust tailpipe out from underneath the vehicle at the rear axle. It’s better for ground clearance when 4wheeling and when I now have the rear window down I get no bad smells under heavy acceleration.
boyyyy we/i need a mech like u in my/alll states. """"HONEST""""GOOD, KNOWLEDGEABLE, COMES OUT TO YOU!!!

I use Valvoline synthetic because it's a brand name and it's cheaper than other brand nane oils, here.
🤔👍
I buy my oil at Costco, lowest price around. Works fine 7:41 . My CRV has 322000k.
@@dbrianhoytAmazon or Walmart have good prices on synthetic too like Quaker State, Pennzoil and Castrol and sure beats the drive and the crowds are Costco lol. Plus they have genuine Toyota filters for under 10$.
@@dbrianhoyt. Cool info my dear 😘👍
Scotty, that's BY FAR the largest funnel I've ever seen! Is that for farming equipment or 18 wheelers? Where did you get that funnel?
Had 4 codes on my Tundra (VSS sensors PO011,012,022 &024). Oil filter twist on stock cartridge filter. Went to a Baxter oil filter adapter(Wix or Napa 1518 filter) and no more codes.
I put a Baxter adapter on my Lexus GS 350.....I like the quality of the adapter.
I only buy & use pennzoil ultra platinum full synthetic.
Liqui moly
Me too 😊
I use the same oil in my 2018 Ridgeline and every 20,000 or so I use Scotty recommended ATS carbon cleaner in all my vehicles. Made a big difference Ford ranger when I used for the first time at 145,000mi.
Yep same here, had a lil trouble finding it maybe 4 years back, a Walmart employee told me their production facility got attacked, not sure if that was true.
It's good stuff.
That $1500 hurts 😢
Wix and Mobil 1 are plenty good filters putolator too
There are a couple of online Toyota dealerships that have a sale every so often. When they are on sale, I buy a half dozen Toyota filters for each of the cars, and stock them in the garage. All good.
I must be doing things right. I've used castrol oil for past 30 years and OEM or high grade oil filters like scotty and never get them from auto parts stores. Not paying for their overhead.
I got nervous I thought Scotty started throwing parts at this car whew! Scotty was right again!
Great video! I will say on an oil change, one of the rewards programs with a certain auto parts store makes an oil change special cost pretty much the same as buying the oil at Walmart. The first time is a few dollars more, but after that, you get reward coupons that bring it down to the same price and usually the oil itself is newer than what you find at Walmart. Plus you get to choose your filter and also can get a discount at a Shell gas station too.
Pennzoil ultra platinum ! Fram ultra syn ! I never looked back since !
Fram!? 😂😂 might as well use a coffee filter
@@cristianaquino4431Fram: Synthetic element
Scotty just saved me a fortune. Oil changes can now cost $100 or more, but I had to stop changing my own oil because of that stupid cover. I thought about taking it off, but I was hesitant. Now it’s off and DYI on both our cars.
Bought 2 cars, same model, same year, close in mileage, different owners. Both had changed the oil around every 3 thousand miles. One had used Castrol, the other Quaker State. One engine was gummy and brown looking with residue, the other clean and shiny. I started using Quaker State from then on.
Scotty is literally stress free and 100% happy & LOVES what he does. Jesus he was raised excellent 👏. My hat is off to you Scotty.
I use Valvoline extended fully synthetic. I used to use Castrol but, honestly I like Valvoline more
You're the man, Scotty.! Love the videos. I always learn a lot. Thanks.
Auto parts stores have overhead whereas online doesn't, "...rip off..." is an inaccurate aspersion.
You pay for convenience 💯 parts store wanted $61 for just the window regulator, regulator and motor assembly are $26 on eBay but no lifetime warranty. Trade offs.
@@melissasmess2773agreed, there's always some tradeoffs.
Oil pressure sensors are pretty basic. The one for my car was $6 at the Ford dealer. When it comes to MAF/MAP sensors, CAM/CRANK sensors etc I'd only use OEM.
Well done Scotty, for applying understanding of how these systems work, diagnosing with the help of the right tools and identifying and addressing the most likely, logical cause of the problem.
I use baby oil! Makes my truck run baby bottom smooth
Scotty SMART on the Motor oil . Used Castrol ONLY in my vehicles since first got my drivers license. Years ago. Best oil for high revving 4 cylinders.
I took a new-to-me used car to a quick change oil place that charged me $95.00 for synthetic blend oil, but didn't change it. Oil was as black when I got home, as when I took the car in. Easy money. Never will I trust any lube center, again... changing by myself.
Yup same. It takes me 20 minutes. I always get this😲. When I tell people I do that myself. I rotate my own tires as well❤
I don’t want an oil change “quick change“ place to even look at my cars. Not even the dealership. I have not had a good experience with any of them. I do the oil change myself and know it is done correctly.
Scotty I thought you said always use OEM for any sensors?
I use the oil from my scalp.
I use Mobil1, very happy with it.
It is the best !
Scotty, you are awesome! Thanks for all the advice. 😊
I vouch for amsoil. Did analysis on semi truck oil at 30k miles. Viscosity range is 8.3 to 12.7 I believe... amsoil was at 12.3 after 30k. Tested oem freightliner oil at 30k, Viscosity was 8.7
Best oil in the world by far.
Hands down the best Oil I've ever used.
Great job Scott’y
Mobile 1. Worked for me for years
Love my Castrol (conventional) as a contractor I had a Kohler gas engine air compressor I ran it for 15 years daily, sometimes all day, until I retired it and It still ran great.. Proofs in the pudding 🤔
I use Castrol(synthetic, of course) in my 02 S10. 280k miles and change, no issues whatsoever.
I used to run Castrol all the time. It's all I would buy for my European cars. The American cars, I bought whatever was cheap.
Nowadays I'm more of a Mobil 1 customer. Maybe Scotty has convinced me to go back to my roots.
It has an analog clock on the dash. Pretty cool for me but a gen z can't tell time on one of these. lol
Back when I did my own oil changes I used Mobil 1 exclusively.
Me and my brother always use Walmart Supertech oil and filters in our trucks. Of course ALWAYS full synthetic. I have a Titan and a 5.4 Ford Lariat. My brother has a Titan and a Toyota Tundra Limited.
I've seen multiple reviews where the Walmart "SuperTech" oil & filters were in the same league as the more "premium" oil/filters
I use it in my Mercedes Benz, been a mechanic for 35 years. It's a good enough oil for a cheap price.
@@melissasmess2773 you are a smart person my friend.👍😎
Hope he checked oil pressure to see if it was in spec at certain temps and at idle. Internal gaskets can need changed sometimes when pressure gets too low in these engines.
I miss my G37 6MT. I had the car at nearly its top speed and it’s no slouch. It’s not a V8 off the line but plenty fun.
GDI needs oil change 3-4K miles
At 4:25 That car turned over a little slow like the Battery is getting weak
From what I understand any oil brand is good as long as you change it every 5000 miles
God forbid the OIL PRESSURE LIGHT would come on when the oil pressure "sending unit" is faulty!
haha, it might only turn on when its low oil pressure. at the end of the video he said the sensor was reading high pressure
@@Brandon-uy1uv THAT should turn it on too...
IF it was unplugged, it would display the red light on the dashboard. He calls himself stupid? Nah, He's pretty bright. I'm older than him and have little understanding of all the electronics on modern cars. My 68 Mustang has six fuses, lol, and it runs fine. The Air Conditioner has a sensor that fits in the evaporator that's supposed to cycle the compressor clutch when it gets too cold. It cycles OK but after about 45 minutes you'll hear a crackling of ice being formed. And then there's no more air...It's ALWAYS done this since new; I replaced the sensor and no difference.
Why don't you do a video on vehicle cabin filters ? I didn't know I had one probably many of us are not aware and this is very important to know..thank you
Scotty..... you are a Genius !!!!
Do a video on making your A/C on an older Chevy 2500 work GREAT !!! Cause mine is not working so well.
Scotty you rang that bell
Make sure you use full synthetic. Proceeds to use blend 😕😕😕
This VQ engine calls for synthetic BLEND. silly goose.
@@bjornironsides6474he said that about the oil
Valvoline and Castrol are probably the best reasonably priced popular oils.... I saw a SuperTech Synthetic fan comment and I bet Costco's Synthetic would be good too---both very reasonable..... i am just not going to spend a lot of extra $ for what is referenced as "top of the line" oils.. A mechanic friend told me many years ago that even with conventional oill back then, an off brand you find at Family Dollar will hold its viscosity to at least 6000 miles.... The synthetics are slicker and way better oils of course but this whole oil thing might be a sham---thank goodness synthetics have gotten cheaper...... The key is changing it at frequent enough intervals... I do 5K miles on my 4 cylinder Corolla (4 quarts)... If I had a car of 5 or more quarts I might go 6K miles since I use synthetic Valvoline... Pick your strategy and stick with it...
Scotty is feelin fine
One of my coworkers had one, a sedan with a standard transmission. The clutch pedal was hard but very peppy car. I think it was the same engine in the video.
i like older cars! a faulty oil pressure sender simply lights up my dash - i can hear when oil pressure is low! valve train gets noisy
Quaker state oil for me. 0w20.....every 3000 miles oil change...😊😊😊😊😊
I use whatever 5-30 that my local Toyota dealer has for my 03 camry 3.0 V6, I've for 3 years 155,000 miles and no issues.
After watching a bunch videos testing oils I found that Amsoil is the best. Second mobile one
Gallery gaskets and cam position wiring harness connector and wiring repairs do the trick
These are the Scotty videos I LOVE and what brought me to the channel in the first place. No daily EV bashing. No political opinions that turn Americans against each other. Just great car repair presentations! BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏
EV's are about controlling where we drive and how soon we get their and everything requires your identity and bank approval. The terrible resale value is the proof that neither party wants them. 49% of EV owners don't want another one. There isn't enough copper on this planet to build an infrastructure large enough for all vehicles to be electric ! 💯🤡
EV's are crap
Scotty, the clue re the windows being down to get the sulphur smell.....
I had that with a 4wd...it was the front diff breather giving off the high sulphur smell from the 85w/140 diff oil....
and the smell wafted along and was sucked up through the ageing foam seal area around the gearshift/parking brake lever.
With the windows down a vacuum was created inside the car and this drew the smell from under the car.
Solution was to close the windows, set the air intake to fresh air and the fan speed to at least 1...to pressurise the cabin...
No smell any more....
There may be a leaking rear door/hatch seal on the much more modern Honda and the vacuum in the cabin may be drawing in exhaust fumes..
For breakfast try Loosner's Caster Oil Flakes with real Glycerin Vibrafoam, cleans your whole system right on down the line.
I use Royal Purple for all my cars ….
Intermittent problem is usually water in the fuel or an electrical connection.
My dad’s favorite was Castrol. I always used that when I changed my own oil. Also, I always wondered what those shields under the engine were for and if it was safe to leave them off. They’re really annoying on a car low to the ground.
My grandpa always recommended Pennzoil or Castrol, and I'm sure they are great, but I've been using oil with the manufacturer's (Subaru's) branding in my STI.
Feels like the most cautious way to go, but I could be wrong.
I have some research to do.
The shields serve many purposes.
They stop spray/water splashing up from the wheels plus sticks/stones/mud into the engine compartment...
and can also stop deeper water surging up into the engine compartment if you strike a deeper flood of water...
plus they channel air out of the engine compartment (like a venturi effect)
and smooth the airflow under the car
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk yeah true.
Now the engine cover, on the other hand, just gets in the way of looking at your awesome engine.
The covers off might also get worse gas mileage 🤔
Just go head change early around 3,000 if you want make long life out of you engine over 300,000 and never see any problem like valve cover gasket and rear main seal gasket and all type seal valve seal I never change my gasket in my both car I had one with 304,000 mile and the other one with over 645,000 mile just change oil on time I change my in 3,000 for my Honda and Mercedes diesel 5,000 miles just lower you service by change everything early and coolant transmission brake fluid every fluid and you will never see any problem
No one better than Scotty.
Damn Scotty, because of this video, used Infiniti sales up pretty much soon . 😂.
9:27 Dealerships cannot smell sulfur because that's what the air smells like where they come from.
You are the best…..never stop helping all of us 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I guessed Scotty forgot to plug in sensor after it ran great after jacking up car and "checking a few things". I bet he knew it right away, too.
Supertech on my Subarus, every 6,000 miles.
If you watch @ProjectFarm, he tested different oils. Supertech performs just as well if not better than most oils.
Surprised it didn't pop for a "Engine oil pressure sensor fault" code - PO520. Maybe that year Infiniti didn't support it.
Any mechanic worth his salt should own one of your diagnostic tools, the cost of the unit offsets the cost of needless repairs
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
I quit using motor oil. 50/50 blend of Lucas non synthetic oil additive and synthetic oil additive. I use it in old cars that have a gazillion miles on them but it’s never failed me yet
I love reviews
Used to use Pennzoil
When I started using synthetic I went with Mobile 1
Sometimes I use Motorcraft though since it's OEM for Ford
Why Monil1? Did you do an oil analysis.
@@stevesmith756 why not Mobil one is good oil
