Diamonds are lab created now. They will be viable well before most of the technologies will be if cost is the only issue. GE has been making diamonds since the 50's and now they are commercially available in jewelry quality. I am sure you won't need jewelry grade/sized.
Scotty has more energy than the average 20 year old!
Mercedes-Benz dealer charges $700-$1,200 to change the transmission fluid and filter. I got a kit with all the fluid, filter, seal, and new bolts for $139. Two years ago, I paid $149. I liked driving my wife's car, so I got me one too. LOL
If I wasn't a mechanic, I couldn't afford my cars.
Jeeeezus Christ, Jiffy Lube quoted me $850 for a service on my CR-V in WA, which includes:
- Full synthetic oil and filter change for the engine
- Transmission flush
- Coolant flush
- Brake flush
- Rear differential oil change
- Cabin and air filter replacement
@@---usrthat’s about what it costed for my car at the dealership but I had coupons so I was under $700
All you need is a good independent shop
@mapache2185 even a good independent shop charges $130 per hour for labor. Plus they have to mark up the prices of parts to make money off that. I can order the same parts the dealer would use for a fraction of the price, but it doesn't have the Mercedes-Benz emblem stamped on the part. I just changed the trunk lift shock struts that say the brand name, but just don't have the emblem on it. I think I need to get a stamping tool to stamp my own Mercedes-Benz logo on the parts I replace. LOL
@@---usrmy question is if they actually do all the stuff listed
I had a 2001 mazda tribute with the 3.0 v6. It was fine most of the time. Never went too far with it and it needed a new transmission at around 110k miles. I sold it at 166k miles and the transmission was starting to act up by the time I was selling it. Now I have a 2.5 VW Jetta as a daily banger and it’s at 136k miles, original engine and transmission, running strong.
I used to love just tooling around the highways. Now its like DEATH RACE 2000 out there. Back roads and short cuts are just fine with me. Highways are nuts!
Mercedes
BMW
Audi (everything in the Volkswagen umbrella)
If you drain and fill cvt make sure to do it cold so the fluid that comes out is same temperature as the fresh fluid. That way, you replace the correct amount.
Thanks for the info 😊
A torque wrench is a MUST have tool for DYI folks. I have 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and a digital for angles.
I'm shooting for 600k miles with my Hybrid Rav4.
I'm VERY attentive to fluids all around. Oil, coolant, transmission/rear differential, and brake as well as engine air filter.
Be careful when changing the CVT fluid on the Subaru Outback. It is not that the draining the fluid is a problem; it is getting the new fluid back in that can be the issue. You have to make dead sure that the fill plug is the right one. Even dealerships get this wrong. It is also difficult to get a hose to fill the CVT. I solved this by going in from the top of the engine with a plastic funnel with a 3/8” clear flexible hose attached. Works like a dream. Any hardware store will have the funnel and hose. Make sure you undo both plugs before you start so you know you can get oil into the transmission. Lastly there are RUclips videos to look at.

Agreed. Here is another three brands.

Right-on Scotty we need more honest Mechanics like you!!! Keep the truth flowing!!! Thank you Scotty!!! God Bless America!!!
Thanks Scotty!
Thanks for the info i don't know how long the sparkplugs had been in my sister's car but i was driving it and blowed out the mechanic showed it to me put it back in and it run fine but i let them tune it up anyway
Interesting and energetic video✨
Thanks Scotty for another informative video, I learn a lot every time I see them and rewatch videos all the time
It HAS to be said, your example of McDs is mostly right…except for the cheap part, they haven’t been cheap for few years now and try to hide their prices on promo graphics at the drive thru even. And also engage in business tactics with their custom Taylor ice cream machines that “break down” all the time when all the other fast food places with Taylor soft serve machines have zero problems. Yea, they’re good example of spend tons on advertising and don’t deliver a value.
Go to In N Out, complete opposite customer svc, better food, costs less.
Just sayin.
My local Subaru dealer charges $250 dollars to change the transmission fluid .
I pay $300 + at reliable mechanic
I remember when I did it myself
It's Subaru

3:02 Holy balls! Thanks for confirming this. I suspected this after I changed the fluid in my NV200 around 110k miles on it at the time. I only changed it after i damaged the fluid pan and it needed to be replaced, because it had a leak. So, I learned on RUclips how to fix it, because I'm cheap and hate going to mechanics. Anyways, after I changed the filter and fluid for my transmission, I swear I got like 4 more mpg in fuel economy. It has an odometer or whatever that tracks your mpg on the dash and it went up significantly after changing it. Then I realized..these effing bastards always tell you not to change it or do anything with the transmission, but yet you change all the other fluids in the vehicle. Why not the damn transmission fluid?? These MFers!!
Nissan recommends transmission fluid every 60,000 miles
Id drain and fill it every year... then a major filter change every 30-40k. @@Lovesausage269
That’s only for a damaged transmission when you don’t want to change automatic transmission fluid. Regular transmission fluid change is always recommended at different time intervals. But the theory with not changing a damaged one is that there can be bits metal and the old thicker fluid will keep the transmission from slipping and not catching the bands and clutch packs
Uncut diamonds are not that expensive,the price of diamonds are in the cutting and policing process.
Most cars will last over 100k miles if you perform regular maintenance and oil changes
Not chrysler 300 there pcm are garbage. Made it to 70k miles before needed to replace its pcm. No amount of maintenance will save you from a faulty pcm.
What are these strange accounts copying and pasting my comments😂
They might last over 100K miles but some vehicles will have and by default more expensive repairs than other manufacturers just to get to the 100K milestone.
@@ThomasKing19933 I think they are scammers.
@@ThomasKing19933 They have porn links.
Hey Scotty, those Evolution Golf carts all use proprietary parts and they are very proud of them. So when they start breaking, it gets expensive. Evolution is the Mercedes of golf carts. If you want a reliable and inexpensive to maintain golf cart, get an EZ-Go or a Club Cart. Ask me how I know. Yamaha may also be okay but just do not know.
Review the 13-17 lexus ls460 i just bought a 2014 awesome car
Scotty - I have one word for you……..decaf.
Lol😂 the dude just loves making content. It's great to see him so energetic.
Haha he's always very energetic
@tomf429 Very funny comment. And I totally agree with you, Scotty really seems wired in this video.I love the energy. Scotty is the Best on YT.
He has saved me money 💰 during my driving days for defininate with his tips
He reminds me of my GF's favourite toy ;p
@scottykilmer my accord it has a transmission filter inside the transmission pan but does it need to be changed also? I noticed here on RUclips no one has changed it out they just did the fluid change and that's it.
“3 car brands shock the entire car industry”

Great video
No, diamonds are very plentiful. They’re held back from market to keep the prices up in reality. They’re pretty worthless.
Fantasy
I was searching to see if someone said it before I type the exact same thing. DeBeers & Co. have been evil crooks since time immemorial.
Hi Scotty thanks for what you do. I had a question my mother in law wants to buy a new or semi new rav 4. Any advice to what type engine is most reliable. Thanks
What do you think of Mistry oil as a attive in oil?
Scotty, What are your thoughts about reliability and ease of fixing of a 2010 Mazda 6 Touring?
Here's the thing about the diamond batteries - they would even work with synthetic diamonds, since carbon-14 is a byproduct of the process. What's more, it's possible that with further development, they would be able to increase the carbon-14 content for more compact batteries.
The down side: carbon-14 has an extremely loooong half-life, so you'd be waiting forever for it to decay and generate power. As far as I know, there's no way to accelerate this, but my knowledge is limited.
I enjoy your channel and also enjoy playing golf! ⛳️
Mark Twain used to joke that "golf is a good walk spoiled."
What are your thoughts on air oil separators?
Pains me as a Bruins fan that reality is we are the Leafs but with a Cup. Wish this franchise didn’t choke a lot
Scotty, just put the REDBULL DOWN!
I like when Scotty does the hockey commentary.
Thank God Scotty the Internet Mechanic is still alive.
Any information on new cars accelerating by themselves?
I think what you describe as Diamond Battery, is a radioactive battery. As I recalled, whether GM or General Electric has made radioactive battery in the 60's. I saw it in my booklet and now it's lost unfortunately. NASA use it for some purpose. But making radioactive battery from diamond is too expensive
I have a 2005 Ford Escape with just over 275k miles running with its original power train.
solid eco suv and good gas mileage as well
One in a million Ford
If you're not a riverboat gambler I suggest you start going to the casino at least once a week. With that kind of luck you have a jackpot waiting for you.
@davidanderson1268 clearly you've never seen how reliable their inline sixs are and how long they last with general maintenance. The 300 out of my 1980 F-100 is still running in a friend's 1980 Bronco, and it had 780k on it when I gave it to him.
Oh really. I’m still driving my 2003. Ford F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it… with no issues !!!!
Industrial grade diamonds aren't that expensive
That golf quote was mark twain
Yeah, Mark Twain used to joke that "golf is a good walk spoiled."
"It prolly outlast you" LOL
Scotty could you give me some advice I've been considering buying a used vehicle next year i have been looking at two different vehicles. Ford Edge and Buick encore GX would either one be a good decision or am I looking at the wrong vehicles.
I'm only here for car advice and ThomasKing comments.
07 ram 1500 with the 5.7, just went over 250k i’ve done spark plugs ignition coils, oil changes every 5k miles, recently made a trip to florida and back from wi 1400 mile trip truck did great no engine light was getting 16 mph. it’s a great truck just hope she lasts me longer, so far replaced power steering, fan clutch, alternator, new battery for the subs, new belt and that’s abt it running a cold air intake too she’s great just hope i get another 100k outta here tranny seems strong and engine still runs powerful, let me hear ur opinions on these pos 5.7s that for some reason love
also got a squeak its minor and doesn’t get louder like it did when my alternator pretty positive it’s my tensioner pulley it only makes sense with the new belt on there and it not keeping up. gonna throw a stethoscope to em and see, local shop told me they will replace it for $160 parts and labor so might take it there don’t have crazy time rn
I put 225,000 miles on an Infiniti M45...but at the end of it, maintenance/repair costs on a Bentley would have been less...until the Bentley needed suspension work.
Need to develop a battery fueled by unobtanium.
The Dimond battery if real as they claim it will have its place but not in the automotive application
Scotty what about car owner manuals are they true
Always enjoy your videos
Looking at a used Alpha Romeo gulia 2020 or newer. Opinion?
Endless money pit. How about Lexus IS?
Thanks. I'm guessing that 2024 subaru wrx is the same?
@@stephenfishman4133 I've never had a performance oriented vehicle but if I wanted one the WRX would be near the top of my list, along with Civic Type R and Toyota 86. Back in 2000's Subaru was in the top tier of reliability chart, less so now though.
They now make fantastic lab grown diamonds. They are real diamonds, just flawless, beautiful, lab grown. 1/10th the price of natural. Much cleaner and nicer.
🙄.... 🧐..... 🤨 .... 😐

$800+ per carat.
Yep. I'm into vinyl, and you can get pretty nice diamond styli these days for very cheap.
Lot of manufacturers make killing selling the same stuff for audiophools for 10-50x prices
Ford makes a great vehicle. I had one once that made it all the way to 38,000 miles. Other than new motor mounts, main engine seal and heater core, brakes and calipers, spark plugs and points, it ran like a dream.
You can make industrial diamonds out of peanut butter in 12 minutes.
They actually make diamonds now.But you wouldn't know that I didn't talk too much
there's always cars that last less than 60k miles/kilometers depending on how they are maintained my dad had a used 1987 Sterling/Rover 825 SL for about 6 mos. in 1993 and it had about 60k on it when he got rid of it and my uncle Rico gave him his 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic which dad drove for another 6.5 years and 115,000 more miles for ex my younger brother and I went to sleepaway summer camp in Westford MA granted that's less than a 50 Mile drive on the interstate
Dear Scotty. I bought a 2014 Audi Q7 v6 with 140,000 miles. Check engine light came on with code p21A1. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!!!
Scotty, they now make synthetic diamonds and it won't be long before even De Beers can't prop up the artificial value of diamonds and the price plummets.
400k on my 2007 Tacoma and it still runs like a champ.
I’m not a much of a mechanic rn but in the future I guarantee I’ll pick it up these videos will be everything Scotty🫡
I just had my transmission, radiator, front and rear diffs and trans case fluid changes to the tune of $1000.00 at my local Toyota dealer.
I have a 99 Lexus ls 400
It has 170000 miles I don’t think the person before me ever changed the transmission fluid I recently went to get an oil change and the mechanic told me I need to flush my transmission fluid of course since I watch Scotty I told him I was good but I do want to change the fluid and the filter I just don’t know if I should or shouldn’t seeing as it has never been changed any advice ?
I change all fluids when I buy a used car unless it comes along with a documented history of what was changed and when. Put original fluid in and forget about it for the next 5 years. Good condition LS is a treasure you don't want to f up.

Every car my family has had from the 90s to early 2000s has gone well over 100k but all these newer cars have costed us a fortune in repair bills they really DONT make them like they used to. You shouldn’t be having MAJOR repair bills before 100k but a lot of these newer cars are set up to FAIL. And NO I’m not saying every single new car is a piece of poop but Scotty’s right when he says wait until the model is a few years old to see if theirs any bugs or kinks they Gota work out. Your much better off buying something between 2010 to 2020 if u want a newer car cause you can see what kind of track record it has and reviews or any potential problems that u can read about to make you STAY AWAY from them
I know a 92-year-old woman that eats at McDonald's every day. YMMV
I have a 89 dodge dakota, with 300 k miles, it runs great! i do all the work myself, I take care of it it takes care of me!
If Thomas King is satisfied with 100k, then he's got money to burn
Loved Scotty ranting about McDonald’s 😂
I just remembered your account. My geanddad was obsessed with you. He passed two years ago and ive been thinking about him a lot recently. I had a mechanic scalp my parts and destroy my engine over a simple repair i know i coulda done on my own. I can hear him yelling at me for not sittting my butt down, watching a few videos and just -doing- it. I have a totaled engine and cut battery cables over two solenoids.
Does right to repair on new vehicles impact independant mechanics? Is it more economic to buy an older reliable make rather than get caught up with new warranty restrictive practices?
Try lubricating the gas cap gasket first with Vaseline or O-ring lub. Pool service sells it.
Have a 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon with 1993 Subaru engine conversion and 230,000 miles. Every two years before California emissions test I fabricate a new rubber gas cap gasket (they don't make or sell them anymore) and lubricate it with Vaseline. Passes the test every time.
Damn, I just realized Scotty has over a 6 million subs now
Heaven knows the Oilers, the team I that I follow and occasionally cheer, have no end of their own troubles (and coaching problems) but I literally laughed at Scotty's "burn" of the Maple Leafs and his swipe at the Bruins😅.
Diamond based batteries aren't the craziest thing I've heard of. Just read something about water based batteries. Water + electricity???
I drive a 2014 fiat. It has 181,600km.
Only ever had volvos. All reached 200k miles easy with no major issues.
Scotty is your grandson playing in the background I was listening to you getting ready to use industrial language when I heard a toy horn beep what was if you wanted to say😇😊ps I think it was mark Twain who said golf is a good walk spoiled
Again my question still remains to be answered Scotty, so the three that will last 300 plus are Mazda, Honda and Toyota??? Long as all required maintenance is done.
Such a naive question.
Got a 1995 f150 with a 5.8 engine and 296,500 miles still running.
There's no way you can get that out of a 2020s F150, not without some wallet pain.
I am waiting for the day, and it will come, when Scotty shows "3 car brands that won't last" and "3 car brands to buy" and they are the same cars.
Haha!....yup!
His normal routine is to show a car & says it's crap.....then a week later he shows the same car & says it's better then Toyota 😂
No such thing as easy highway driving in the USA. Have you seen the potholes, un-even roads, traffic....Worst roads in the Western world. But mechanics and tires manufacturers love it.

Will my new diamond encrusted battery come with a 20 year warranty or a lifetime warranty? What if you live in the hood? Is that gonna work out? 😆
Induatrial diamonds are dirt cheap and plentiful. So are the pretty diamonds. The sales racket around diamonds is a huge scam.
Thoughts on a Toyota FJ cruiser?
You referred to being up the creek without a paddle, as a bad thing. It's not a bad thing because all you have to do is just not do anything and your boat will flow down the stream or river. What really is bad is to be down the stream Without a Paddle.
The best solution for good MPG and reliability, is manual transmission. It will last more than 28 years for sure.
You gotta realize they are pushing EZs so hard because they plan to only have very privileged or very limited amounts of individuals driving in the future, one way or another...
