    When you go to get your oil changed and coolants and lubricants topped off, be aware that the windshield wiper fluid they top off with may be a warm weather type fluid (cheaper) and if it is not used up by the winter months it can freeze and damage your windshield wiper fluid spray system. On top of that, it will render your windshield fluid sprayer inoperable while it is frozen, even if it doesn't damage it. It can also blow the fuse connected to the sprayer pump when you try to operate the pump with frozen liquid in it. In addition, it can freeze and crack the plastic windshield fluid reservoir.

      One of the things I do is custom mix my washer fluid, to minimize the amount of winter product (with methanol in it, a poison) I use. When I go for an oil change, I tell them not to fill it, I use a custom blend. The math is from your first year of Algebra, but unfortunately, most people convinced themselves that they would never use it in real life...

    I put super unleaded in my 2001 golf S because it pinks like a ****** when manoeuvring at low revs. This is apparently the recommended route, and without a doubt makes it a little more zippy, it does seem to go further to the tank too, but that’s a byproduct to me.

    My last beater was great at overheating. The trick about cranking up your heater actually works great to dump the heat when you're in a bind. Consider old falling apart car though. One time when I tried to use that trick during the summer the plastic housing around the heater core cracked and all my coolant dumped in around my feet. Yea I pulled over and got it towed home and finally had the water pump replaced.
    It is a great trick when you're in a bind but I learned relying on it will break other stuff haha. It was a beater car though. Hated spending money on it.

      Reminds me of my first car before I knew anything about working on them. Worked at a beach for a summer but lived across the bridge into it. Car would overheat when sitting so cranking the heat was often necessary when stuck in bridge traffic. It was such a common occurrence that I got some battery powered fans for myself and fellow occupants to use when the heat came on in 100° weather.

    What no one tells you about E85 ethanol? The brand new Honda Ruckus scooter I just purchased for $3500 won't run, I had to pull the entire fuel system apart, and the pilot jet that was clogged needed to be cleared, that was an all day job, not something you want to be doing on a brand new scooter, simply because the fuel had broken down and separated in the cold weather we were having, and it clogged the idle jet. Lesson learned? Don't use E 85 on scooters, motorbikes, or high-performance vehicles, because our local Subaru dealer chewed out our local gas station owner because three of the brand new Subarus he brought to that dealership and filled with E 85 wouldn't start after that.

    First of all, i love your channel scotty, i watch it daily and hope the family is well. But answer 3 is right, you only said 1,2, and 4 were wrong. High octane does have a different burn time. It ignites later, but emits energy in a shorter burst than low octane. Cylinder scavenging and afr sensors prove this.

    Here in New York State the lowest octane gas has 10 percent ethanol, the midgrade has less than 10 percent and the premium has none. So it is not the octane rating that makes my Cruse run better on mid grade but the purity of gasoline. The 2014 is not considered flex fuel, but it is not supposed to matter for 10 percent ethanol.

Talking to a service Rep at the local Mazda dealer he said I should use gasoline with 10% ethanol because it runs cooler than ethanol free gas.

    OK everybody I’m gonna clear this up for you for all the people who are saying that his voice does not sound like him. Here is the reason why and think about it very closely.
    You’re just too used to watching him talk instead of actually listening to him explain stuff as in the video, when you cannot actually see him, you only hear his voice it’s still him how do I say it without the charisma and body language your mind is making you think that the voice sounds different mainly because When we talk to someone in person, we not only hear their voice through the air, but we also pick up on subtle physical cues such as facial expressions and body language. These visual cues can affect our perception of their voice. However, when we talk to someone on the phone or online, we only hear their voice without these additional visual cues, which can make their voice sound different to us. Additionally, the quality of the audio transmission can also affect the way we perceive someone's voice, as it may distort certain elements of their speech.

    How about FlexFuel engines? I can at times use e85 or 93, my vehicle does not like lower grade fuels.

    Hey Scotty - wouldn't it also be good to turn the key to the "on" position so the cooling fan will run (if the cooling fan is electric) - to lower the radiator temp so it can suck more heat from the overheating parked car engine?

    Hey Scotty, I just did the Weiss oil change on her 2022 Honda CRV. When I got the car off my ramps, all I heard while the engine was running was oil being leaked out onto the ground. I had changed the filter and drain plug. I noticed oil coming from the filter. I double gasketed the filter, with the old filter gasket being on the housing. Still. I lost about a liter of oil. Before I had recognized the mistake. I replaced the remaining oil , and made sure the gasket was removed. My question is, will the car be all right if it ran for about a minute with oil hemorrhaging out?

      like scotty describes, europe and states are using different octane ratings
      europe 95 is close to states 91
      the lowest states rating is 85, maybe about 89 when translated to the common rating system europe (and elsewhere) use
      whoever determines such systems seems to strive to obfuscate
