Hey Scotty! I freaking LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I’m looking to buy a car as a daily driver, 5 or 6 speed manual tranny, 4 door sedan, extremely reliable, and yanno it’s gotta look somewhat decent 😂 I’ve got $5,000 and I’m thinking something between 1995 and 2015, what makes and models would you recommend? I don’t know much about cars so I’m hoping you could point me in the right direction
Scotty, just a thought. I believe the reason you do so well on RUclips, is because you're fun to watch. I can only speak for myself, but I watch your videos even if it has nothing to do with the car I own. You're fun to watch and hell... I even learn a ton while being entertained. Love you, Scotty. Stay safe the Covid-19 virus cases are up in Texas.
Jokes aside, honestly the 1994-1999 Celicas are a beast of a car if you get the 5 speed manuals, acceleration is great even on my 1.8 liter, and because they came from a rally chassis they corner and handle very very well, love the comfort too.
A lot of cars still use those low profile tires. In fact, the trend toward big 18 - 20" wheels on small cars has \been the reason for the low profile tires so that they will fid inside the wheel well with out interacting with anything while turning or going over bumps. I agree. They make the ride real rough. My Infiniti Q60S came with 19" wheels and those real low profile tires. They are expensive and they ride like you are using solid rubber tires. They do offer up superior cornering, but for normal driving, they give one a real rough ride where you feel every crack in the road.
Mary McIntosh They will buy a new car but it sure won’t be the same car brand. Only a few loyal suckers will continue but the majority can’t run away fast enough. Screwing over your customer base is always a stupid business plan. Way easier and cheaper to keep a customer than to lose them and have to find a new customer.
@@youaregoingtolovethis You underestimate the loyalty of some stupid customers, but they rely heavily upon them. I know a guy who has had nothing but problems with his cars for 40 years and he still only buys GM.

I purchased new a 2016 Honda Accord LX with the 2.4 liter motor. It runs great. Even the CVT is good. I'll probably keep the car until the wheels fall off. I recently got a phone call from the dealership wanting to know if I wanted to train in my Accord for a new one. No thanks!
@@aplleyva Exactly right! I have a 2014 Accord Sport with the CVT. I change the fluid with Honda HCF-2 fluid and change the oil @ 50% oil life and at 130,000 miles runs perfect, burns no oil and the trans works perfect.
@@steverayrapp Well I have a 2018 Accord & now a 2017 CRV - Used CRV is a CPO had 24K miles on it. Wife liked it as it had the bells & whistles she wanted so the fact that it's extended warranty I pulled the trigger w plans of reg maintenance We were shopping for a used Toyota Highlander but anything in our budget had 80K or more miles on it.
I used to design mechanical assemblies often utilising rubber seals with steel spring support, reliable and long lasting, and I'd never consider anything else. The USA seems to be going stupid at so many levels - need some big changes there.

Ways to make money my friend. Just like Apple. Create a problem and sell the solution. And stupid people always fall for it. They even gave a name to it, "Brand Loyalty".
Buy an old car from the 70s get a manual and rebuild that sucker from the frame up and you'll have a car you know inside and out that will last 25 years
GM DOSENT care about you, why support them, they laugh every time they sell one of their turds to die hard GM fanatics that still BELIVE these are quality cars, they are not,period
It is really strange. The engineers are smart guys. Why can't they make something as good or better than the designs of the past? Did they go haywire on "planned obsolescence"? Did they get orders from the top to go super cheap?
The worst thing I see is people drive around at night with the daytime running lights on only and they think they have the headlights on but there is no tail lights on
SUPREME MEGATRON F1 engines weren’t meant in road cars because of tighter tolerances than an average engine like a Honda K series or a General Motors LS. The BMW S85 V10 and the S65 V8 is a perfect example why F1 engines should never be in road cars. The BMW S85 and S65 is known for rod bearing issues that must be done at a certain time or else goodbye engine.
The solution is to manufacture after market seals that are made of rubber and has the little spring in it! Then advertise it as the better replacement for that plastic seal!
Great video! 1. I had a friend who was a service writer for Saturn, back in the the day. Nothing but main seal problems all day long. 2. I bought a 2017 CRV, with the EarthDreams engine, before I found Scotty. I have nothing but incredible things to say about the engine. I am not a typical driver, which may be why I have had nothing but excellent experiences with the engine.
Looking for my used Lexus now I’ll never buy American car again . Owned three Chrysler mini vans . Over 20 yrs everyone leaked oil after 50.000 miles . You would think I would have learned my lesson after owning the first one . But we were busy raising 3 kids. My 2006 fwd Pacifica is a great car never leaked oil .BUT the frame is rotting away 😳. So by by to the big 4
Went from failing (main gasket oil/coolant, transmission, etc) 119k Buick to 140k Lexus LS.. still rolling stong at 220k and will go 300k easily. Will never look back, except to laugh in relief...
Thank you for this video I just did a front crank seal on BMW with the same polymer plastic and I didn’t let it sit for more then 35 to 45 minutes and it started to leak again and I was wondering why? But now I know they have to be installed to form on the crank. And also totally clean no lube on the seal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So.......let me understand this. The BIG car manufacturers, are making and selling us $40,000 + SUV's and Trucks and making them cheaper? Well, well, well................go figure! GM's CEO pays himself millions of dollars of bonuses, the financing Bankster's laugh when they make the loan and the Dealership wrings their hands with joy with all of the anticipated service. And we, become victims of criminals!
Modern vehicles will NEVER end up becoming "classics" simply because they will have all been scrapped or rotted away after 20 years. 20 years is being VERY generous too.
MC C except the one thing they do understand is how to make something cost a real lot of money and get the money out of your pocket As much as possible💰
Scotty I must comment on you saying a Teflon is junk. The Teflon seal is actually much better than that old rubber lip seal. I will admit that GM probably screwed up the installation of it. I worked for caterpillar tractor company for 35 years and I put those Teflon seals in production Diesel engines over 30 years ago. There was some problems with the wear at first because you cannot run a Teflon seal on a ground crank without a very finely ground hardened wear ring to run it on. I’m sure gm didn’t use the wear ring. These seal were definitely not cheaper for us but they had to last the life of the engine which was a million miles on a truck and basically forever on a off highway vehicle. This is one of the very few times I don’t agree with your thoughts. Otherwise this channel is excellent. Regards Emil
GM products from the late 1960's and early 1970's (that is when we gave up on GM) used to leak from the engine crankshaft seals so bad, you would have to put drip trays under them
In 2019 I bought a new 370Z with the 3.7 liter V-6 engine. One of my reasons that I went with that car is that I was hearing rumors that Nissan was probably going to go with a smaller displacement 3 liter turbocharged V-6 in either 2020 or 2021. Because of the relatively large displacement for a lightweight sports car, the manifold pressure will never be high enough that excessive heat or mechanical stress will be placed on the engine. This means that the engine will probably last a very long time if I take care of it properly.
Family member got a notice of "" class action"" won suit against FORD over their Focus cars transmission,, Millions were awarded by Judge. So many Focus cars sold , Family member only got $20. Check and FORD dealer did install new transmission.
@Stacy boulderdash it was actually bush that bailed out chevy. It was obama that bailed out the green energy companies that still failed due to no cost effectiveness.
great 100% honest videos scotty,i have done mechanic work since 1968,i quit in 2005 because of all the new over priced disposable plastic garbage they make,just work on my on now,a stick shift heater,and ac is all i need on my old trucks,cars
@Christopher Grant It's a lubricant, it's smooth. It's also hydrophobic but just like you can push two magnets together you can also get water past it so Rubber is better because it fills the gaps properly
There’s no substitute for cubic inches, true back in the day and still applies for the motors of today, Scotty we brits sometimes refers to a old saying, “A candle that burns twice as brightly, lasts half as long” as for the PTFE seal some bright spark decided that it would have been a money saving exercise, there was a old English car company called Rover, it was after some engine for one of those heavier saloon bars of theirs, so they made a call to their American cousins and came across a Buick 218 cup v8, they did bring it home and overall it was ok, except for the rear crankshaft oil seal, it was made from rope, so long as the rope was permanently wet, then there was no rear crank leakage...simples. Keep up the great work Scotty and we will be waiting for your next video....👍
Why mess with it? Government pressure. So they show the government that they made X and Y technological changes in order to meet the demands on paper, the government is happy, and some dimwit customers are content with their high-speed newfangled nonsense cars. Those new cars become junkers faster, but the old tech cars keep on, keeping on.
My 2002 Toyota Estima has a 2.4 litre engine, not much power for a 1.5 tonne vehicle, I found a 3 litre V6 in the same model that uses no more petrol, and is safer because I can pass trucks quickly. Larger engines are sometimes no more expensive on fuel than their smaller counterparts. Another fantastic and informative video from Scotty. Truly appreciated!!
Hello Scotty from Maryland. Much love and appreciation for the vidoes. I daily a 2000 e55 amg. Some new parts include front lower control arms, engine mounts, water pump, transmission mounts, shifter bushings and washer fluid pump. Also had the front wheel bearings refurbished, transmission flushed/fluid changed and an oil filter/oil change. The car has 172,000 miles right now, with a (fingers crossed) minor amount of rust. (1) The 722.6 transmission seems to be a bit clunky or something. For starters, when I put it in gear, esp and always in reverse the car will make a big creek/screeech noise. The car sat for a while before I bought it and when I bought it failed MD inspection for the left lower control arm as previously mentioned. (2) Also, when I first begin to drive from start, I will notice a kick from the transmission. A split second after I let off the throttle, going maybe 5-10 miles an hour leaving my condominium, to come to a stop, the car will make a bing/knock noise, definitely from the rear, as it changes gear. Any thought? Take care and all.
I totally agree with you Scotty, I think having chrome on a car looks a lot better especially on the door handles. I wish they still made cars with more chrome. Like they used to back in the day.
Your comments about the two things you say in this video make you a legend: 1. The small forced induction engines; and 2. The trend of making unicolor painted (for me, even the blacked out ones are bad) door handles and trims. If you have time, please make a video about the Lexus GS F. Cheers.
Scotty, "take if for what's it worth"... PTFE rear main seals are an improvement. I have one in my 2001 VW and never a drop of oil from this 1.9 TDI engine. Replaced the clutch at 165K, did not see any seepage and left the seal in. 75K miles later still going strong. Had a 1999 Ford Taurus and put a transmission in it. Typical Vulcan issues, leaking freeze plugs and rear main. Yes, the coolant leaking from the rear of the engine is probably a leaking freeze plug. Installing a rear main PTFE seal is a little more involved. Gotta have ever thing clean. The plastic guide is nearly useless... Got it install and 20K miles later still going strong. Compared to any other car I've owned, PTFE rear main seals, when installed correctly work well. Every other US/foreign car I've owned the last 50 years with rubber seals leak. Every one of them.
Yes i got 2015 chevy silverado 6.2L V8 with twin turbo system every time i go full throttle the seal start leaking i went through 3 seals in one year then i searched for an aftermarket rubber one now 8 months with no leaks 👍🏼
Must be the year model. I have a 2000 Suburban with 5.3 L and it has performed great ! 200,000 plus miles and only a fuel pump and thermostat replaced.
This guy has just as many subscribers as some major news organizations. Great work nets great rewards. Keep it up old man!! You're a godsend to us plebs out here.
I work at Honda. We call the 1.5 the oil maker, and the 2.4 the oil eater. We get people that come in with the 2.4 motor for rattle squeak noise diagnosis. It's the sound of the oil sump going dry (no oil). Needs a timing chain and a piston re-ring.
This issue is caused by two issues - consumerism and the differences between "theory" and reality. Consumerism because if you can save £10 on parts building a car you can reduce the price to the customer by about £100. The other issue is that PTFE seals if you take the simplified PTFE models should out-perform rubber in every respect. What the newer engineers forget is that the model taught at university is the simplified model. The reason this is done is they usually have a single lecture to cover seals where you would need a whole module (20+ lectures) to cover just some of the differences between the simplified model and the real world model. I spent a good deal of my professional life correcting other engineers designs when they did not work for this specific reason.
With a “sealed for life” transmission when they say the fluid will last the life of the transmission they really mean that the transmission will las the life of the fluid.
On the GM seal. PTFE is Teflon which much less friction, but a firmer material than rubber. The bigger issue I see is the diameter. The larger the diameter the more circumference distance, thus every revolution is more surface wear.
Yea I have oil dilution on my 18 civic with 55,000 highway driving and smells like nothing but gasoline. Until it has issues or engine lights no work will be done unless I pay for it. They extended the warranty but that only covers certain parts. Makes me not want to own another Honda
Some of these newer engines are just junk. Manufactures claim that these new engines are needed for emissions yet the GM 3.8 series III V6 was ULEV rated in its finale years.
Scotty, I've been watching your videos off and on for years and finally found one I agree with 100% on everything you said! Great job! ( I have 40 years experience as an auto technician so I know a little about cars too.)
If what I've read is correct...not only will AT-205 'not help' a PTFE seal, it will destroy it. I think you (or ATP) could do a great service to your viewers by compiling a list of cars which would be damaged by ATP-205 (due to seal composition, painted oil pans, etc.).
Im a powerplant mechanic for piston driven aircraft. Its amazing that i will rebuild an engine built in the 40s, and everything new we put on them is just the old thing that was made new. Its all very basic, proper rubber seals with springs, aluminum cases, easy to access spark plugs (even if mounted in the airframe) that are 7/8 inch. The longest part of rebuilding an aircraft engine is waiting for new parts to be delivered if a part fails inspections.
Wow Scotty Killer. You’re really killer standing for your Audiences that’s why I tapped to see your everyday videos that’s helps me a lot. To choose my right brand vehicle. Thank you
Thanks Scotty verifying the low profile tires being junk. My WRX came with them and I hated them. Made the car look cool but rode terrible changed out when they wore out
As a former employee for SFK industries (seal manufacturing). I can say that it isn't always GM that "designs" this FusterCluck. Alot of their seals are designed in the "Magna" design which is so "innovative." Ford...still using good ol rubber seals, even in the military contracts.
Time to find a different vendor for that GM seal that will make it like the previous seal. Are there any aftermarket manufacturers making the old style seals?
Yea, a turbo will wear out a engine faster when not built for boost but when build correctly and forged internals ect. Its gonna run just as long as an na engine just alittle more attention needs to be given to one obv
I don’t know Scotty, PTFE is the best plastic for antifriction applications and it’s also very resistant to temperature and it isn’t as cheap as you’d think. It’s very expensive compared to even nylon, which isn’t on the cheap side. It’s also much more inert than rubber, which means you don’t have to worry about it degrading unless you’re using some fluoride in your oil, which would make everything else fail first anyway. My guess is that they haven’t perfected that seal design yet, that’s why it seems worse now.
Scotty, I unloaded my 2018 CRV because of dilution issue. In 400 miles after oil change oil level rose to above the full mark by 1/2 inch. It continued to rise. This was in warm weather. Feared bearing issues. Otherwise car was well made. CRV 1.5 turbo with only 10000 miles, by! Knew my future with SUV was bleak and denials by local service tech. Now driving 2019 Ford non-turbo F150 six. Does a decent job and will last better. Not bad acceleration for 3.3 ltr. Pull small cargo trailer camper (5x8) with decent mpg, about 16+. Gets 22 when not pulling camper.
Penny Pinching is what caused the many crashes and deaths with the GM defective ignition switch... So what does GM do? They double down on penny pinching.
When they cheap like that it’s kinda like “penny wise pound foolish” They try to save money but in the long run it costs more, and unfortunately it’s the customers money so I guess that’s why they don’t care.
Yup because it's a win win situation. If something goes wrong with the car as result of all those money saving measures either the customer buys a new car or takes it to the dealership to have it fixed for a lot of $$$$.
As one of my teachers once told me "if you ever invent something, make sure it breaks, you'll sell more and make more money" breaks people need another one they gonna but it, money money money the root to all evil.
I had a 92 Sierra with the 4.3 a few years back. Rear main seal was going. I put the Blue Devil I think in and followed directions. It fixed the leak. It was the $15 one a few years ago at autozoned
I'm not sure GM wants to get it right. A seal that fails after the warranty has expired is actually what GM wants. It means you either have to pay the dealership an arm and a leg to fix it or buy a new vehicle. It's disreputable but effective if selling cars and service is your objective.
It sounds like they got something right.....how to make crappy critical parts that wear out faster than wear dictates just to make more money...so greed they got the greed part to a science.
Scotty, sorry but the Honda 2.4l engine can dilute the oil with fuel too. My wife's 2015 had the problem. I could see it visually on the dipstick. I kept changing the oil ( I did it myself but still expensive using synthetic oil) and the level kept creeping up over the full mark. Then I sent a sample in for analysis and whoa, fuel dilution was nearly 7%!! We traded the CRV (nice vehicle otherwise) in for a 2019 Toyota Corolla with the dual fuel injection system. No such problem with the Toyota.
Thank you Scotty, have a good day! Our '88 Silverado has a drop in oil pressure when driving, its the oil pan there was an oil leak, the truck was given to my caregiver after his uncle's death the truck has a rebuilt engine, it has sentimental value, we live in an apartment so we can't do repairs on the property, so maybe this is the problem with the truck we will push the truck to the street and try to fix it! Thanks
@@Usercouldnotbefound if you do have a small leak or you need to refill it after it was changed a dipstick makes it very easy to do. Getting rid of it was a really dumb idea. Just another way to try and force you to go to a dealer for service.
I hate it too, but manufacturers realized that they could get lower warranty costs by preventing people from putting additives and the wrong fluids into it causing problems. After 60k miles or so when it might need filling or a fluid change they don't care. They want lower warranty costs so they can sell it for $50 less and get more sales.
@chief tp - Umm, welllll, OK. But I'm gonna blow up the assembly line...or something... Has anybody seen my red oil can? I purchased that one with my own money so need to get it back.
I have a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. Chrysler/Dodge products are notorious for bad transmissions. I have serviced the transmission every 60k miles. With 164,000 on it, it still drives like a dream and shifts perfectly. So yes. I agree with Scotty, if you want a transmission to last, even a notorious bad one, change that fluid!
I use to work for a company that portered vehicles from Auctions to Dealerships & From Dealerships to Auctions. those 'low profiled tires' when they went flat, you couldn't tell unless you had a tire gauge. I drove Brand new Ford pickup trucks ( just came off the assembly line) to the railhead to beaters that we're meant for The Demolition Derby.

Why can’t they just leave stuff alone. By now our vehicles should have evolved to be extremely reliable. Oh no they have to constantly do stupid stuff
It's the same mind set behind, there's more money in TREATING a disease rather than CURING the disease. greed is the reason if it's more reliable then no one would be paying for replacements.

It is really strange. The engineers are smart guys. Why can't they make something as good or better than the designs of the past? Did they go haywire on "planned obsolescence"? Did they get orders from the top to go super cheap?
The worst thing I see is people drive around at night with the daytime running lights on only and they think they have the headlights on but there is no tail lights on
I’m with Scotty on the small engine thing, especially if your pulling anything, like the saying goes,there’s no replacement for displacement.
@SUPREME MEGATRON But the turbo wears the engine more. There really is no reliable replacement for displacement
SUPREME MEGATRON F1 engines weren’t meant in road cars because of tighter tolerances than an average engine like a Honda K series or a General Motors LS. The BMW S85 V10 and the S65 V8 is a perfect example why F1 engines should never be in road cars. The BMW S85 and S65 is known for rod bearing issues that must be done at a certain time or else goodbye engine.
The solution is to manufacture after market seals that are made of rubber and has the little spring in it! Then advertise it as the better replacement for that plastic seal!
Fel-Pro or National probably have one by now.

I’ll never buy American car again . Owned three Chrysler mini vans . Over 20 yrs everyone leaked oil after 50.000 miles . You would think I would have learned my lesson after owning the first one . But we were busy raising 3 kids.

Thank you for this video I just did a front crank seal on BMW with the same polymer plastic and I didn’t let it sit for more then 35 to 45 minutes and it started to leak again and I was wondering why? But now I know they have to be installed to form on the crank. And also totally clean no lube on the seal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Modern vehicles will NEVER end up becoming "classics" simply because they will have all been scrapped or rotted away after 20 years. 20 years is being VERY generous too.
Average life span of a car in the 50's was only 5 years because they had so much rust issues.

Scotty I must comment on you saying a Teflon is junk. The Teflon seal is actually much better than that old rubber lip seal. I will admit that GM probably screwed up the installation of it. I worked for caterpillar tractor company for 35 years and I put those Teflon seals in production Diesel engines over 30 years ago. There was some problems with the wear at first because you cannot run a Teflon seal on a ground crank without a very finely ground hardened wear ring to run it on. I’m sure gm didn’t use the wear ring. These seal were definitely not cheaper for us but they had to last the life of the engine which was a million miles on a truck and basically forever on a off highway vehicle. This is one of the very few times I don’t agree with your thoughts. Otherwise this channel is excellent. Regards Emil
yup, also can't start the engine if the crank/seal surface is dry...burnishing happens regardless of the crank hardness under the seal if it's dry
GM products from the late 1960's and early 1970's (that is when we gave up on GM) used to leak from the engine crankshaft seals so bad, you would have to put drip trays under them
In 2019 I bought a new 370Z with the 3.7 liter V-6 engine. One of my reasons that I went with that car is that I was hearing rumors that Nissan was probably going to go with a smaller displacement 3 liter turbocharged V-6 in either 2020 or 2021. Because of the relatively large displacement for a lightweight sports car, the manifold pressure will never be high enough that excessive heat or mechanical stress will be placed on the engine. This means that the engine will probably last a very long time if I take care of it properly.
I love how you’re alternating between all the old and new intros!
I Just bought a 2017 Toyota Camry
4 cyl 6speed automatic ...... it’s AWESOME!!!!
Thanks Scotty!!!!! Your the best buddy.
Keep up the great work!
That engine seal thing seems like it should be a recall or class action law suit.
Unbelievably, there are reports from GMC Sierra owners of huge oil leaks because the oil lines are blowing out. GM is circling the drain as we speak.
Family member got a notice of "" class action"" won suit against FORD over their Focus cars transmission,, Millions were awarded by Judge. So many Focus cars sold , Family member only got $20. Check and FORD dealer did install new transmission.
Sure, so the high powered law firm can collect 50% or more of the loot. They're the only ones that truly make out in class action suits.
@Stacy boulderdash it was actually bush that bailed out chevy. It was obama that bailed out the green energy companies that still failed due to no cost effectiveness.
Someone needs to develop an aftermarket seal of the old type to fit them. Then at least you'll only need to replace it once.
great 100% honest videos scotty,i have done mechanic work since 1968,i quit in 2005 because of all the new over priced disposable plastic garbage they make,just work on my on now,a stick shift heater,and ac is all i need on my old trucks,cars

0:32 PTFE is also known as Teflon!! Teflon isn’t cheap stuff but in this case it’s not what you want. Teflon shouldn’t be used instead of rubber...
It is the stuff which goes on the non-stick utensils isnt it?
@Christopher Grant It's a lubricant, it's smooth. It's also hydrophobic but just like you can push two magnets together you can also get water past it so Rubber is better because it fills the gaps properly

Hello Scotty from Maryland. Much love and appreciation for the vidoes. I daily a 2000 e55 amg. Some new parts include front lower control arms, engine mounts, water pump, transmission mounts, shifter bushings and washer fluid pump. Also had the front wheel bearings refurbished, transmission flushed/fluid changed and an oil filter/oil change. The car has 172,000 miles right now, with a (fingers crossed) minor amount of rust. (1) The 722.6 transmission seems to be a bit clunky or something. For starters, when I put it in gear, esp and always in reverse the car will make a big creek/screeech noise. The car sat for a while before I bought it and when I bought it failed MD inspection for the left lower control arm as previously mentioned. (2) Also, when I first begin to drive from start, I will notice a kick from the transmission. A split second after I let off the throttle, going maybe 5-10 miles an hour leaving my condominium, to come to a stop, the car will make a bing/knock noise, definitely from the rear, as it changes gear. Any thought? Take care and all.
I totally agree with you Scotty, I think having chrome on a car looks a lot better especially on the door handles. I wish they still made cars with more chrome. Like they used to back in the day.
After watching Scotty I’m so freaking exhausted…
Your comments about the two things you say in this video make you a legend: 1. The small forced induction engines; and 2. The trend of making unicolor painted (for me, even the blacked out ones are bad) door handles and trims. If you have time, please make a video about the Lexus GS F. Cheers.
If scotty had his own college course on automotive engineering and mechanics I'd join this class in a heart beat without hesitation 🤣
Scotty is a true blue collar hero !
I totally agree.
I think even us ladies would too!
His videos should be mandatory viewing for all auto engineers the world over.
Scotty, "take if for what's it worth"... PTFE rear main seals are an improvement. I have one in my 2001 VW and never a drop of oil from this 1.9 TDI engine. Replaced the clutch at 165K, did not see any seepage and left the seal in. 75K miles later still going strong.
Had a 1999 Ford Taurus and put a transmission in it. Typical Vulcan issues, leaking freeze plugs and rear main. Yes, the coolant leaking from the rear of the engine is probably a leaking freeze plug.
Installing a rear main PTFE seal is a little more involved. Gotta have ever thing clean. The plastic guide is nearly useless... Got it install and 20K miles later still going strong.
Compared to any other car I've owned, PTFE rear main seals, when installed correctly work well.
Every other US/foreign car I've owned the last 50 years with rubber seals leak. Every one of them.
I was at my local tyre shop a while back, I said to the guy "O for the days when everything ran on 165x13s," His reply - "You're right there mate".
I never buy the turbo version of anything, I know so many people where the seals go, the turbo drinks the engine oil at max rpm and goodnight Vienna
Yes i got 2015 chevy silverado 6.2L V8 with twin turbo system every time i go full throttle the seal start leaking i went through 3 seals in one year then i searched for an aftermarket rubber one now 8 months with no leaks 👍🏼
Get back in 8 years

This issue is caused by two issues - consumerism and the differences between "theory" and reality. Consumerism because if you can save £10 on parts building a car you can reduce the price to the customer by about £100. The other issue is that PTFE seals if you take the simplified PTFE models should out-perform rubber in every respect. What the newer engineers forget is that the model taught at university is the simplified model. The reason this is done is they usually have a single lecture to cover seals where you would need a whole module (20+ lectures) to cover just some of the differences between the simplified model and the real world model. I spent a good deal of my professional life correcting other engineers designs when they did not work for this specific reason.
"Knowledge is power" words to live by my friend. Words to live by.

"The Masses are Asses"😎
@@teamawesome2171 Exactly!!
Every single GM I ever owned developed a front or rear main seal leak and that was before these new seals you talked about
With a “sealed for life” transmission when they say the fluid will last the life of the transmission they really mean that the transmission will las the life of the fluid.
Well that would be well and good if the transmission lasted as long as it should.
On the GM seal. PTFE is Teflon which much less friction, but a firmer material than rubber. The bigger issue I see is the diameter. The larger the diameter the more circumference distance, thus every revolution is more surface wear.
GM: If it ain't broke, break it.
Cracked me up! Thank you

Most mechanics say Ford and Chevy are dead even in reliability so your biased Ford fanboy opinion means nothing

Some of these newer engines are just junk. Manufactures claim that these new engines are needed for emissions yet the GM 3.8 series III V6 was ULEV rated in its finale years.

Unreal. Do they hire people to sit there and dream up how they make make cars more stupidly?
Yes...They call them engineers, and they have to justify their jobs....so they have to come up with new (STUPID) ideas....
If what I've read is correct...not only will AT-205 'not help' a PTFE seal, it will destroy it.
I think you (or ATP) could do a great service to your viewers by compiling a list of cars
which would be damaged by ATP-205 (due to seal composition, painted oil pans, etc.).
It’s a race to the bottom, even Toyota is starting to show signs.
Got that right! TACO is now made in Mexico. They took a market share they OWNED and are screwing it up.
Im a powerplant mechanic for piston driven aircraft. Its amazing that i will rebuild an engine built in the 40s, and everything new we put on them is just the old thing that was made new. Its all very basic, proper rubber seals with springs, aluminum cases, easy to access spark plugs (even if mounted in the airframe) that are 7/8 inch. The longest part of rebuilding an aircraft engine is waiting for new parts to be delivered if a part fails inspections.

Thanks Scotty verifying the low profile tires being junk. My WRX came with them and I hated them. Made the car look cool but rode terrible changed out when they wore out
I’m glad I don’t own a new GM car or truck, pure junk…
You're right. Looks are deceiving. Looking great in appearance but pure expensive crap underneath.
As a former employee for SFK industries (seal manufacturing). I can say that it isn't always GM that "designs" this FusterCluck. Alot of their seals are designed in the "Magna" design which is so "innovative." Ford...still using good ol rubber seals, even in the military contracts.
Time to find a different vendor for that GM seal that will make it like the previous seal. Are there any aftermarket manufacturers making the old style seals?
GM devises the spec
Yea, a turbo will wear out a engine faster when not built for boost but when build correctly and forged internals ect. Its gonna run just as long as an na engine just alittle more attention needs to be given to one obv
What do walrus and Tupperware have in common?
They both like tight seals...
Hahahahahaha
A guy asks an eskimo, have you blown a seal? Nah, he says, it's just frost on my lip.
I don’t know Scotty, PTFE is the best plastic for antifriction applications and it’s also very resistant to temperature and it isn’t as cheap as you’d think. It’s very expensive compared to even nylon, which isn’t on the cheap side. It’s also much more inert than rubber, which means you don’t have to worry about it degrading unless you’re using some fluoride in your oil, which would make everything else fail first anyway.
My guess is that they haven’t perfected that seal design yet, that’s why it seems worse now.
PTFE doesn't expand like rubber ,which is what you need for a seal.
Fell asleep while watching and when I woke up you were still talking and I got interested all over again , Scotty ? you need to run for President !

Scotty, I unloaded my 2018 CRV because of dilution issue. In 400 miles after oil change oil level rose to above the full mark by 1/2 inch. It continued to rise. This was in warm weather. Feared bearing issues. Otherwise car was well made. CRV 1.5 turbo with only 10000 miles, by! Knew my future with SUV was bleak and denials by local service tech. Now driving 2019 Ford non-turbo F150 six. Does a decent job and will last better. Not bad acceleration for 3.3 ltr. Pull small cargo trailer camper (5x8) with decent mpg, about 16+. Gets 22 when not pulling camper.
Penny Pinching is what caused the many crashes and deaths with the GM defective ignition switch...
So what does GM do? They double down on penny pinching.
Not quite penny pinching I think there was over a hundred dollars a car in tax breaks for using the Chinese made switch.
I like all your programs, even if it just reinforces what I already believe. This episode really resonated with me. Keep doing what you're doing.
When they cheap like that it’s kinda like “penny wise pound foolish” They try to save money but in the long run it costs more, and unfortunately it’s the customers money so I guess that’s why they don’t care.
Yup because it's a win win situation. If something goes wrong with the car as result of all those money saving measures either the customer buys a new car or takes it to the dealership to have it fixed for a lot of $$$$.
thank you for an honest show surprised the big auto guys don't have a hit put on you . wish there were more mechanics like you out there
As one of my teachers once told me "if you ever invent something, make sure it breaks, you'll sell more and make more money" breaks people need another one they gonna but it, money money money the root to all evil.
It's the love of money.. not money itself
Toyota and honda would like a word
I had a 92 Sierra with the 4.3 a few years back. Rear main seal was going. I put the Blue Devil I think in and followed directions. It fixed the leak. It was the $15 one a few years ago at autozoned
It’s amazing, they’ve been making cars for over 100 years and still can’t get it right.
I'm not sure GM wants to get it right. A seal that fails after the warranty has expired is actually what GM wants. It means you either have to pay the dealership an arm and a leg to fix it or buy a new vehicle. It's disreputable but effective if selling cars and service is your objective.
It sounds like they got something right.....how to make crappy critical parts that wear out faster than wear dictates just to make more money...so greed they got the greed part to a science.
Don't want too, ...they can't make money if they really do it right...
@@michaelratliff905 Toyota makes money
Yes they can, but, no, they won’t. Anything to cut production costs.
Scotty, sorry but the Honda 2.4l engine can dilute the oil with fuel too. My wife's 2015 had the problem. I could see it visually on the dipstick. I kept changing the oil ( I did it myself but still expensive using synthetic oil) and the level kept creeping up over the full mark. Then I sent a sample in for analysis and whoa, fuel dilution was nearly 7%!! We traded the CRV (nice vehicle otherwise) in for a 2019 Toyota Corolla with the dual fuel injection system. No such problem with the Toyota.

Thank you Scotty, have a good day!

Thanks
The worst trend is NO TRANSMISSION DIPSTICKS. Whos bright idea was that??
Its not uncommon to find this, unless you have a leak it should never need topping up
W h a t ?
@@Usercouldnotbefound if you do have a small leak or you need to refill it after it was changed a dipstick makes it very easy to do. Getting rid of it was a really dumb idea. Just another way to try and force you to go to a dealer for service.
I hate it too, but manufacturers realized that they could get lower warranty costs by preventing people from putting additives and the wrong fluids into it causing problems. After 60k miles or so when it might need filling or a fluid change they don't care. They want lower warranty costs so they can sell it for $50 less and get more sales.
Some dipstick probably... with a degree in accounting....
The small engines aren't really the companies fault. It's the countries that put out strict emission guidelines.
No, it’s the fuel economy standards.
