@B977e sounds more like a bad car owner issue. Should I post the video of me doing a oil change on my 2003 civic that I’ve owned since new and you can see underneath the car is beautiful? How come my cars don’t rot and I live on the ocean?
@@FloydLangston I own 8 cars. None of my cars rust. Fluid film and once a week car washes and I drive from cape cod to Boston 5 days a week in the winter and deal with salt from the ocean 365. It’s lazy ownership
I agree. Had an 09 Corolla biggest piece of crap I owned. It was made in the Fremont plant though, learned that lesson. The 11, 12, 13 was better. Had cold start rattle, oil burning
The thing is some engines are designed to burn oil. It acts as a lubricant for the rings. My second generation Prius does, I just top it up. It's 18 years old, original battery and totally reliable.
My mom had Subaru cars from the late 70's through the 90's. She loved the Legacy and never had issues of burning or losing oil. Never a blown head gasket or a failed clutch either.
I pop the hood and check all the fluids once a week on my cars. My dad used to check his truck every morning before he left for work but there were no computers in cars then.
My Daughter's 2015 Legacy sedan (bought used with 58K miles) is remarkable. I swear it has as much carrying capacity as her mother's Outback. Fold down the back seat and it is a cavern. Plus, the interior is very comfortable and the ride is refined. Sedans are great.
We live in NY and our 32 year old cars aren't structurally rusted at all. You must be referring to upstate cars that are poorly maintained by the idiots who own them.
@@melancholypuppy3595worst part is that it'll clog up the cats with carbon unless it's synthetic, in which case it'll clog up the cats with synthetic carbon.
Brother has this car it’s not terrible he’s got 130k on it in Pennsylvania never garage kept no serious rust just superficial like the video. The big problem is the oil consumption but typically if you change the oil every 3k it won’t get under the low on the stick. So do it every 3k miles not the factory recommended 7-10k
Scotty mentioned a very good point about the automatics and CVTs with the vibration issue at higher speed when they get older. So, go with a manual transmission and be happy for a life.
Great examination under the bottom, for rust. :). Based, on the area, of cold weather conditions! Good Video Scotty . Looks like a well kept vehicle, for a 2013. 🌟🧡🌟
We own the same car 2014 six cylinder version. Now retired with limited income, and my wife has developed some back issues, we don't travel very far anymore. The plan is until the wheels fall off. Hey Scotty still have the 2013 Fiat 500 grocery getter.
Buy a Volvo and say goodbye bye to backache. I drove Toyotas for 40 years and had the worst backache. I probably spent $60k on chiropractor and other doctors. 7 years ago, I bought a 2014 Volvo xc60, and my back feels great as in my early 30s. I will never buy Japanese cars again. Volvo has been bulletproof, and I have 80k miles on it.
Scotty, thank you for a fair, contextual complaint about this Subaru while mentioning other brands that have similar known issues. *As opposed to repeatedly kicking Subaru in the cratch as if they were somehow disproportionately bad. They're not. Subaru is on my "trusted Japanese vehicles list" (along with Toyota, Nissan Trucks, Honda, and Mazda). It's fair to bust on a brand proportionately. Thanks again Scotty!
As a Subaru owner, I only find it fair as well. Nothing man made is ever going to be perfect, no matter how good something might be. And especially for a car that’s 11 years old, and a northern car, the legacy in the video is living to the test of time.
Subarus seems like a quality car, but there are way too many examples of their engines burning oil. Many people can't trust them or bring themself to buy one. Also, the idea of using "caulk" vs. traditional gaskets during engine assembly. Trouble awaits. Other good choices out there, w/AWD, too, if that's a must.
@@user-do9ir8lv2m You literally just watched a video of a Subaru burning oil? Dry oil pan and lower engine means no leaking / engine burning off oil. Frankanderson's concern was about Caulk vs Gaskets which isn't a burn oil issue, it's an engine oil leak issue.
@@spotdog can you simply change the silicone crap to a conventional gasket - maybe adding sealant also - when changing the silicone gasket crap? And why not create a class-action lawsuit to get Subaru to drop the silicone gasket crap -
I have had a lot of cars during 50 years of driving,it has usually been older cars and almost every car has been burning oil like that Subaru and even worse but I have never had a engine problem but I have of course checked the oil regularly. Not checking the Oil is the number one reason for engine failure. ,
My daughter just traded her Subaru crosscheck that had a small oil leak but the dealer told her it would be 8 grand to repair . She also had blower problems . The oill leak was probably the glued on engine components without the use of gaskets and the breakdown of that material
I'm not a sedan kind of person but if I was, I'd consider buying this used even though it has the piston ring issue. That can be addressed, either properly with an overhaul or by topping off the oil. But the rest of the car appears to be in good shape with no apparently major issues and some minor ones that can be addressed.
Subaru are not the premium car they advertise. The have a long history of burning oil, leaking oil, and blown head gaskets. Subaru didn't admit to the problems and resisted helping their customers. Subaru is on my never buy list.
Too bad...Subaru Legacy is a quality choice for a sedan for anyone living in a snowy state. By far the best all wheel drive system of any sedan, Subaru is legendary for their AWD. Getting to the point where Toyota / Honda / BMW / Mercedes / Hyundai are going to be the only real choices for sedan lovers.
Am shocked the bottom is dry. They leak around the cam covers after a while due to using silicone instead of gaskets. The front sub frame like to rust away. I learned both the hard way. Will never get another Subie.
I was checking on a Porsche 924 (2.0 Turbo) workshop manual and - as brand new - the car is stated to consume 1.5 ltr of oil every 1000 Km (oil needed is 5lt, so in imperial is around 1/3 every 620 miles), seems insane compared to nowadays sports and normal cars
I don't know if it is true or not, but I was told a few years ago from someone that had an under warranty car, that a dealership would NOT repair a oil burner car untill it was burning oil faster than 1 qt every 750 miles. It was considered ok. I saw that car and the owner was not happy. Don't ask. the brand slips my mind at this moment 😊.
Don’t knock the Toyota Corolla, I have a 2020 with 76k on it and it’s a dream to drive. I’ve owned it for over a year and all I done to it was 4 new tires and a battery. I average around 32mpg both in town and highway. Highway alone is almost 40mpg, so it’s cheap to drive. Thanks Scotty, my father in law saw this car and was his dying wish we bought it.
If I were Scotty, I would pull those plastic panels if you can. If Moisture is trapped under that panel, well, you'll see rust. Sometimes it may not build up as much on the painted parts because they are periodically cleaned (presumably) if the car was washed properly, but the plastic panels can be known to trap salt and other things and may be hiding things. This is somewhat why I am not necessarily happy that Toyota puts these panels all across the bottom of their modern/current vehicles. Subaru did have an oil burning problem apparently in some of the 2013 (and possibly other years) cars. My sister has a 2013 Outback and that also has slight oil burning issue (was bought new back in 2013) but theirs is not as bad, maybe 1/4 of a quart per month my brother-in-law-says so not major, but he said it has gotten worse over the past few years (was maybe a lot less but has gotten abit worse and he suspects that within a few more years it may be as much most of a quart per month, but he also says that oil is cheap, and I agree so they'll keep driving it). With today's new/used car prices still, I'd say just drive a car even if it's burning a quart of oil every month. It may only last a few more years like that before it gets really bad and you may need to replace your catalytic converter for example, but that will buy you some time, for not a ton of money in the end (say even at $10 per month in oil, so 1.5-2 quarts of oil per month) that's only about one car payment after 3 years. These companies that are all going to SUVs and trucks are just making it easier for Honda, Toyota (and I guess Kia/Nissan too) because they're opening up markets, and right now with the way oil prices are, and considering some people never go back once they go to a car, they are making a big mistake. Even if gas goes down, I don't care, I enjoy 40 mpg and so if gas does go to say $2 per gallon, well that means I'm paying half of what I am now, but even now $40 to fill up my car isn't that bad (it's bad, but not as bad as if twas an SUV or truck that had say a 30 gallon tank and only got 25 mpg).
@@lrich8181 I use Ams oil 100% synthetic, which claims you can go up to 25,000 miles or one year, I don’t push it that long but usually about 17,000 miles. And even before I started using Amsoil, I would use like royal purple and would change it every 12 to 15,000 miles. So even with inconsistent oil changes I hardly have any oil consumption. I really think Ams oil slows down my oil consumption and it just a really quality product.
I'm about to try that oil on my 2AZ-FE Toyota. It burns 1/2 quart in a 1000 miles mixed driving. It burns 1/2 quart in 800 miles of 75 MPH highway, but it gets 34.9 MPG. I'm currently using Pennzoil Platinum and cold starts improved and oil is clean. I was using STP synthetic high mileage and would get brief mechanical rattling on cold starts so switched to Pennzoil Platinum and fixed that. I have high hopes for the Valvoline R&P.
You have the complete name for it . I have a 2003 Cadillac Seville that burns oil. Abd bad oil burn smell sometimes yet there is no leaks on ground yet I do lose oil.
Engine restore … I live in Fl, tell me ( how to use this product) if you please? I am a female …. Happens all the time. The guy knew exactly what was in my Cheque Book, … found a Brilliant Mechanic, Ryan. Honest, Ethical, and knowledgeable about cars a “ Scotty Jr” in the making 🧡
My dumb dumb (oldest step son) drives his Prius until he gets the message on the dash saying the oil weight is wrong. That actually means he only has 1 quart of oil left. This time, he said the oil looks milky. 🤦♂️
I don't really trust int'l platforms used across several brands. How about Honda Accord for a mid-size sedan? Also you might want to check Car Wizard's "Buy this not that" series, guy's a guru.
Never have to do a full oil change. Its an oil exchange system. 😂. Actually this would be the perfect car to use the cheapest decent conventional oil. Honestly my daughter has the same engine and burns the same. Great to teach younger kids to look after your engine. Check your oil. Horizontally opposed 4 cylinder cause the lower part of the rings to wear.
I've got a 2003 Mazda protege. I've changed the alternator, water pump, starter, and it still squeals when running the engine. The belts are tight and the AC works fine. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
Well Scotty what if it is a car with 445,000 mi and has all those problems and then some? And also what if it's a car we use for work and it's coming up on its age limit?
I’m not a mechanic (but 1st career was as an electronic field service tech- so I’m handy), haven’t worked on cars much. I’m shopping for 2 cars, 1 used, 1 probably new hybrid plug in to get the tax credits. I see you reading error codes alerts on the Subaru- is that a piece of equipment you plugged into the cars port yourself to see that history? If so, what is it and am I able to purchase one? Thanks!
My car Audi E888 motor was burning oil lot more then then that , about 1l per 1000km if not more , guess what it was bad oil , i checked few different oil types and it turns out it has Euro 6 norm , it burns exhaust , doesnt go out , goes back in to engine another time then it goes out . And of course there is a lot of oil in this in form of vapor , and if oil is not good enough it cant withstand it and it burns out . Hence it was using oil . So i dont know if this car is Turbo or not , if its not Turbo maybe its not bad oil , but if it is , i would try good oil first
Should I trade my 2018 ford f150 5.0 in on a 2024 4Runner. The ford truck has 130,000 km and is in good shape. No rust, no accidents and clean as a whistle. Needs new rubber. I thought I would grab the last of the 5th generation 4 runners. I have no current payments.
@@greathey1234Do you know what Restore and Protect does? If those Oil Control Rings are just carboned up/sticky vs worn out/scared up... It should remove the build up. Might be worth a try. If it reduces/eliminates the consumption... Should be a win. Not much to lose.

Even if gas goes down, I don't care, I enjoy 40 mpg and so if gas does go to say $2 per gallon, well that means I'm paying half of what I am now, but even now $40 to fill up my car isn't that bad (it's bad, but not as bad as if twas an SUV or truck that had say a 30 gallon tank and only got 25 mpg).
I love texas my 15 year old car has ZERO rust on undercarriage
I have a low mileage 20 year old Kia that would make a great video. Hopefully I can take it to you
Thanks 👍
"Check the undercarriage"
Looks at wife, checks undercarriage. Yep good to go.
😅
The tire pressure monitor on my 2009 civic still works after 15 years.
You lucky dog.
Some tire shops repair tps sensors when you buy tires. Discount Tire does.
I have a V6 and never use the paddle shifters.
my subaru impreza 2014 only burns a quart every 15,000 miles, not too bad oil consumption.
How often do you change oil?
@@lrich8181 I use Ams oil 100% synthetic, which claims you can go up to 25,000 miles or one year, I don’t push it that long but usually about 17,000 miles. And even before I started using Amsoil, I would use like royal purple and would change it every 12 to 15,000 miles. So even with inconsistent oil changes I hardly have any oil consumption. I really think Ams oil slows down my oil consumption and it just a really quality product.
@@lrich8181 but now that my car has 168,000 miles, I’m probably gonna do it every 12,000 miles instead of every 17.
Would the new Valvoline Protect and Restore motor oil unsludge the oil control rings, or are they too far gone?
I'm about to try that oil on my 2AZ-FE Toyota. It burns 1/2 quart in a 1000 miles mixed driving. It burns 1/2 quart in 800 miles of 75 MPH highway, but it gets 34.9 MPG. I'm currently using Pennzoil Platinum and cold starts improved and oil is clean. I was using STP synthetic high mileage and would get brief mechanical rattling on cold starts so switched to Pennzoil Platinum and fixed that. I have high hopes for the Valvoline R&P.
I've had great luck with Engine Restore out of Ft Lauderdale Florida and I bet it would cure with every oil change the oil consumption
You have the complete name for it . I have a 2003 Cadillac Seville that burns oil. Abd bad oil burn smell sometimes yet there is no leaks on ground yet I do lose oil.
Weak piston rings or valve seals
Engine restore … I live in Fl, tell me ( how to use this product) if you please? I am a female …. Happens all the time. The guy knew exactly what was in my Cheque Book, … found a Brilliant Mechanic, Ryan. Honest, Ethical, and knowledgeable about cars a “ Scotty Jr” in the making 🧡
@@connorwallace9643
Thats a beautiful car ! Enjoy:) 🌟🧡🌟
@@connorwallace9643 if you look below I told someone how to use the product good luck 🤞
Keep the oil good and keep driving it, why not.
Favorite vehicle I own is my 82 C20
My dumb dumb (oldest step son) drives his Prius until he gets the message on the dash saying the oil weight is wrong. That actually means he only has 1 quart of oil left. This time, he said the oil looks milky. 🤦♂️
What do you think about the 2012 Buick Lacrosse, Primium with 50,000 miles
I don't really trust int'l platforms used across several brands. How about Honda Accord for a mid-size sedan? Also you might want to check Car Wizard's "Buy this not that" series, guy's a guru.
Scotty you are famous we watch your videos from cuba
Nice motor. Gets 500 miles to the quart
Never needs an oil change 🤣
@@ravenmoto5948hey kinda like those new engines Briggs and Stratton are pushing. You just keep dumping oil into it. Doesn’t even have a drain plug!
@@jamescaron6465 10 quarts every 5k miles gets expensive.
Never have to do a full oil change. Its an oil exchange system. 😂. Actually this would be the perfect car to use the cheapest decent conventional oil.
Honestly my daughter has the same engine and burns the same. Great to teach younger kids to look after your engine. Check your oil. Horizontally opposed 4 cylinder cause the lower part of the rings to wear.
@@ravenmoto5948 especially if you forget to dump oil into it
I wouldn't buy one because they don't have a temperature gage
TPMS at Sam's club 170 all 4 tires
Only 17 times the cost of a tire pressure gage...😛
Subaru notorious for engine failure at 150k.
So sell or trade it in at 149,000 miles?
There was a time when that was considered to be good...
Most cars back in the day didnt last that long.
Especially small cars.
Sell it at 149,999 miles & buy a used 'earthdreams' civic with the 1.5 turbo GDI engine
I bought it off the side of the road for $2700.00 best purchase I ever made in my opinion. Very pleased with the car. Will go Subaru again!!
2000 Subaru Outback 5 Speed no complaints from a 24 year old
I don't know Scotty, whenever I get into CBT I feel very accelerated, I cant agree with you
Can you upload a video of replacing fuel injectors of 2005 honda civic
Scotty the legend
Won't dumping all that oil screw up the catalytic converter?
Good question!
I've got a 2003 Mazda protege. I've changed the alternator, water pump, starter, and it still squeals when running the engine. The belts are tight and the AC works fine. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
Drive it, drive it, drive it, at the worst it's better than walking, most cars are.
Very Good 👌
Well Scotty what if it is a car with 445,000 mi and has all those problems and then some? And also what if it's a car we use for work and it's coming up on its age limit?
A used Subaru? Unless you have access to Fort Knox, NO!!!!
I’m not a mechanic (but 1st career was as an electronic field service tech- so I’m handy), haven’t worked on cars much. I’m shopping for 2 cars, 1 used, 1 probably new hybrid plug in to get the tax credits. I see you reading error codes alerts on the Subaru- is that a piece of equipment you plugged into the cars port yourself to see that history? If so, what is it and am I able to purchase one? Thanks!
Do You have update for costs of used cars now July 2024. THANKS.
There is no problem with ecvt.
Ecvt is only in hybrid, this car had a cvt
@@mrgarrison3516 Ecvt has no problem while CVT does
@@thomaskim5008
The car in the video has a CVT....
@@mrgarrison3516 True. But, Scotty did not distinguish the different types of cvt
So dont buy a brand new turbo WRX?
I seen a guy do a flash and it stopped the car from burning oil. Does this work?
What I want to know is where did Scotty get that tough-assed flash light????? I want one!
an engine that burns 1 quart every 500 miles is not a good engine
If I could only understand what you are saying.
My car Audi E888 motor was burning oil lot more then then that , about 1l per 1000km if not more , guess what it was bad oil , i checked few different oil types and it turns out it has Euro 6 norm , it burns exhaust , doesnt go out , goes back in to engine another time then it goes out . And of course there is a lot of oil in this in form of vapor , and if oil is not good enough it cant withstand it and it burns out . Hence it was using oil . So i dont know if this car is Turbo or not , if its not Turbo maybe its not bad oil , but if it is , i would try good oil first
Should I trade my 2018 ford f150 5.0 in on a 2024 4Runner. The ford truck has 130,000 km and is in good shape. No rust, no accidents and clean as a whistle. Needs new rubber.
I thought I would grab the last of the 5th generation 4 runners. I have no current payments.
good luck finding one for a good price they are expensive!! but they are built last forever
Have fun!
Go ahead if you want and one with the v6, but, if the ford is in good shape do NOT get the new ones with the turbo-4.
I wonder what Valvoline restore and protect would do for this engine
Nothing
@@greathey1234 could be. I would be interested to find out.
@@greathey1234Do you know what Restore and Protect does? If those Oil Control Rings are just carboned up/sticky vs worn out/scared up... It should remove the build up. Might be worth a try. If it reduces/eliminates the consumption... Should be a win. Not much to lose.
Scotty, you lost me long ago about you recommendations on vehicles. I buy a consumer report and go from there. Phooey.
Consumer report knows nothing about everything.
@@P_Ezi They rely heavily on consumer surveys. Best thing to do is find a car that you like ...then google problems with that model car.
Scotty, what percentage of new cars do you think have CVTs? I think it's a bad deal if you have to get it repaired, it's got to be pricey.
Indeed. The worst CVTs seem to be Jatco's which Subaru and Nissan both use. Toyota's CVTs fare way better.
All the new Japanese brands have Cvt's except Mazda keeps the 6-speed auto
repair the engine
The steering wheel is in terrible condition.
If your car has a leather wrapped steering wheel,use leather conditioner on it to keep it from cracking.
Valve cover gaskets and plug ring gaskets leak on these from the time they are new.
Don’t use your flashlight as a hammer! I’m cringing.
Why not? He gets dozens of different ones for free! 😂
