Sandro has changed a lot
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hotter than before
I came here for this comment ❤
@@markbruno5058 impossible 😡
Don't deadname bro, she's Sandra now...
Petition for RMS should leave a life size cut out of Sandro in the background 🤣🤣🤣
Did bro die or something
@@ogonbio8145 nah we just love him lmaoo, they change mechanics every other video or so. Spices up the content
@@ogonbio8145his wife probably got mad at him and he’s in hiding
For the boys
I can get behind this idea
My daughters are so motivated whenever i go work on the car because of these women. Best thing Donut has ever done outside of having spanish channel day (BRING IT BACK... I DONT EVEN SPEAK SPANISH LOL)
We can read subtitles. 🙌🙌
@@salt-emoji, yeah man! It was called Prestado and it was on Saturdays so it wasn’t cutting nothing out of their daily m-f schedule. Folks just made too much negative noise about it anyways =/
We love to see it. Glad you and your girls are connecting over sick hobbies like this. 💪
Facts and facts
Nope. I will never trust anything that bleeds for seven days and doesn't die.
Sandro getting called out by BOTH of them....oh The Boys are gonna love that 🤣
I know right! hahaha Hope he takes up the challenge and races them! These three are amazing hosts haha
fun fact floor dry is actually basic kitty litter. they just branded it as floor dry because too many people didnt believe that kitty litter actually works on oil. and now floor dry cost more than kitty litter
I can triple confirm this as I have gone to petco to get me some “floor dry “ it worked great
I've used bird/rodent litter too... and definitely disposed of it correctly I swear
Pro tip go to pet smart and fill up a bucket from their bulk litter costs so much less and usually less dust than floor dry
Was gonna say the same thing, I got a big bag of kitty litter in my garage that I have not often used (knock on wood), but when used for oil, it works like a charm. Plus, what ya gonna do when your wife buys that big bag but the cat still shits in the woods?😂
@therealnynetynyne360 guess they called it pet SMART for a reason
The first thing you should do if your slip in the oil you just spilled all over the floor is go to the back office and purge the tapes, let no one see your shame. Then if there is time you can clean up the mess.
Not sure, but wouldn't there be like footprints And oil smears everywhere? That could be a giveaway.
@@marekstanek112obviously burglars 😂
This is solid advice. Say nothing and of course a mechanic has a change of clothes there somewhere. Otherwise your driver's seat will be a dead giveaway.
Need it for the workers comp
After you file your workman's comp claim. And your lawsuit.
You can tell Angelica is a auto mechanic teacher. The way she explains things is like a teacher. Thank you
@jcole82
Yeah, she knows a ton more than most of the guys with car mechanic channels. She and Sandro are a great team. Angelina has aced a lot of classes and has a lot of experience. Sandro just learned from picking up a 10mm rachet when he was five and taking apart his Dad's car.
Yeap. She goes in depth in a clear way. Reminds me of an Army instructor.
@@boyracer3477what I love about Sandro is they'll show a clip of the most ghetto hack and he'll just laugh and say "yeah I've done that"
You’re welcome
No shit they are actually messing with cars every day
After gaslighting Sandro... now i really want to see that Destruction Derby match.
Same here. 😆 🤣 😂
Me too !
Dido
WAit hold on, gaslighted? What happened?
@@Ange1ofD4rkness they called out his civic at the end end of the video.
i have no ego when it comes to being a "mechanic" because i can perform a basic service and that's it. but watching these ladies with exceptional knowledge also with ms. angie being a teacher it really helps breaking things down and teaching an idiot, thank you ladies and RMS/Donut, cheers everyone.
My dad was a mechanic for forty years before he passed. He diagnosed things over the phone for family members on several occasions. I'm now even more impressed with those instances than before.
Same with me! After I moved 750 miles away from my parents my dad, a mechanic for 50+ years, could tell me exactly what was wrong with my car and what I should and shouldn't do to it. I miss being able to call him and describe some odd noise or have a concern about one of my cars and he'd be there to talk and walk me thru a quick diagnostic process of elimination. Miss you so much dad!❤
Sandro looks good with braids!
😂😂😂
🤣
For the boys!

For the boys!
"It's a Hyundai, maybe it doesn't matter?" LMAOOOO
Knocka knocka. Then Seizy seizy!
@@HighSierra1500 happened to me literally a month ago. Brand new car - just 3 years old.
@@spdcrzy Dayumn! My 2018 Avante/Elantra Sport is still running great, though I've had to replace an exterior door handle and the driver's window switch. Luckily the engine has been a beast.
@@spdcrzy 3 year old Hyundai is *not* brand new by any stretch of the imagination.
@@NabPunk Bought a brand new 2015 Forester, it hasn't had an issue yet. Some of us buy cars that last 25 years instead of Hyundai's. People smarter than me buy from Toyota. Granted I've seen 4 25 year old Hyundai's running and driving in the last few years.
I feel like donut told Steph she could curse instead of spelling it out, then out came "SHITS FUCKED" lol
That was a straight up Sandro line! 😁
That's actually EXACTLY what happened! 😂
😂@@realmechanicstuff
Put Sandro with both of those incredible ladies. The banter alone will fill hours. You do not even need videos with fails. Just having them trash-talk each other will be glorious. He will love it. We will love it.
Finally, Angelina and Steph together. You two are kickass together!
I agree!
When they said that its illegal to have too bald tires i said to myself "what? But what if you wanna street race?" But then i thought "oh wait shit thats illegal too"😅
😆 🤣 😂
Its only illegal if you get caught. 🤣
"All the things that are fun are illegal"
Death is preferable? Just replace the freaking tires.
Not sure what streets people race on these days, but I would NOT want those smooth tires for any street race.
You guys find mechanics with the best personalities. My goodness everyone you bring on this channel is fun to watch.
She talked too much about getting a lot of money from customers. Didn't like that.
@@boyracer3477she made the joke like 2 times...
That's a great point. Sandro cracks me up but the new girl did great with miss A today.
@@jameznm new girl was funny as heck! sandro is irreplaceable tho
Right? Perfectly curated personalities. 😁
Throwing shade on Sandro's Honda when he's not even there to defend it lol
Hahaha! 😅
There will be vengeance 😂
also that thing looks sick
Women ☕
Ruthless😁
7:43 When we do an Oilchange, together with new apprentices, we always say that they have to hold the black shiney stick, when it comes and that it is really important... worked every time!
As for the coyote at the quick lube place, I’m mechanic at a place that does both mechanical work (not small time mechanical work, one of the techs just the other week did the Honda V6 piston ring job, we’ve done LS/LT lifter jobs, fairly advanced diagnostics, etc. admittedly, we try to stay away from major internal engine work, but if it’s something that a particular tech is intimately familiar with, we’ll tear a motor down quite happily.) and the quick oil changes…personally, I’m the shop diesel guy…once, I was over pulling wrenches doing my thing, and I heard Cummins noises, looked up, and it’s a 70’s dodge pulling in for an oil change…I walked over to the oil change side right as they’re popping the hood, and lo and behold, this guy had a 70’s D150 that had been ISB 5.9 swapped, I obviously immediately said ‘Oh! Uhh…that’s not supposed to be in there!’ And started talking to the guy, very interested in what was going on there…of course the lube techs put the vin in the computer and it came up with a completely different engine…fortunately they where smart enough to realize that the I6 that the computer said was there and the I6 that was actually there where a little bit different…I’m BSing with the guy and the lube techs ask me ‘uhh…what is this, what oil does it take?’ ‘Rotella T4.’ ‘Umm…how much?’ ‘12 quarts. And prefill the filter.’…ya…glad I was there that day, cause, as much as I enjoy working on those cummins’, if I had to put one in for free cause those jackasses put not enough of the wrong oil in it, I would not have been happy….
I'm working on restoring my wife's Grandfather's 1957 Ford F500 that has sat for 10 years without running. I swapped the battery and sprayed some carb cleaner and it cranked over with no hesitation. I love old school!
No computers, not too many wires. Just simple engines that are tough as nails. Old cars are the best
Ford duh
The overflowing drain pan panic is real but that wasn't too bad. Now when your 5 gallon bucket is filling up and not stopping that becomes a next level "oh shit" moment
I could not see if that was one of those with the resavuir beneath and she forgot to open the plug
@@josephpeluchette191don’t think it was one of the ones with a drain plug. The ones I have are super shallow on the top catch section and would have overflowed in a matter of 2secs at the rate her oil was coming out.
Think it was just a large catch pan that wasn’t quite large enough.
When i was an apprentice i put a 5L bucket under a sprinter van, quickly discovers that van takes a lot more than 5L
I've had that happen. I just put the drain plug back in the oil pan. I got my hand all oily but at least there wasn't a gallon of oil on the floor.
One way to help avoid that is installation of a Fumoto oil drain valve or something similar. Can quickly shut off the oil flow with no mess.
I can't wait for the drag race between Angelina and Steph vs Sandro.
I feel that it'll be a blast to work on a car with Angelina, Stephanie, and Sandro. Each of them have a unique personality, and they all share the same passion for the automotive industry.
Thanks for wheel bearing tip. I do regular maintenance but I got my truck with miles on it already and been trying to track down that noise . “It’s just tire howel” everyone says but I be like I think not. Been checkin everything else ( dif, driveline etc) .
"having me diagnose your car over the phone is like asking a Dr to figure out what is wrong with your leg by email"
So, it hurts when I do this. Think it’s broken?
At least with a body there's more information you can ask for certain symptoms and history, and people are more able to tell you whats wrong. With cars however, you're reliant on the customers to have intimate knowledge of their cars which is a rarity. if it's a rare disease though, you ain't getting a diagnosis without further test.
@@takumi2023 most conditions you aren’t getting a diagnosis without tests.
I've had the cellphone diag before. The customer brought in his 08 F150 and said the ball joints are noisy. I take for a test drive and I hear nothing unusual. I put on the hoist and do some checks. I still find nothing wrong. I talk to the customer and he tells me that I have to drive the truck 100km before it makes noise. He's not willing to pay for a three hour diagnosis and pulls out his phone to play the noise he recorded. It was the spool valve in the power steering pump shuttling back and forth because he was holding the steering wheel all the way to one side and dead ending the pump.
But it doooeees sound like a bad and ring or sensor
The chemistry between these ladies is AMAZING
Yeah. They flow so nicely together.
Same, i thought there might have been some catty energy, but not at all, they vibe
She was literally her shop teacher. She probably brought her in
🙄
“Mechanics don’t wanna rip you off” “I’m MILKIN that” PICK A SIDE😂
I agree but dude who got the Amazon bumper deserves that stupidity tax and warranty be paying. That thing needs the repair. It ain’t like they charging for stuff that doesn’t need to be replaced.
Mechanics like customers, not manufacturers. If the car is under warranty, then the manufacturer will cover any abnormal repairs.
She did say she would milk the extended warranty, not the customer.
I absolutely love Angelina ❤️ Not in a creepy way! Lol. Her knowledge, expertise, teaching ability, additude... all is just amazing 👏 The world is very lucky to have someone like her 🙏
Watching these types of videos inspired me to take a look under my wifes Lexus GX470. There has been an aggravating rattling noise for years. It was a heat plate on the muffler pipe where a clamp rusted away.
Easy fix, no more rattle.
Plus, i learnt a cabin air filter is a thing. It was disgusting.
Its slang term is "kitty litter" because before products like floor dry was made for shops to use, most shops used old fashion clay kitty litter to get up chemical spills.
Some places still use litter, I work at a gas station and we have cat litter in the back for spills.
Love how this channel is still part of Donut but the mechanics have made it their own. Keep it up!
Way better than anything with James
I always appreciated when someone explains something to me and i dont feel like a dumb ass after. Learn a new thing today about oil , thanks ladys.
That ending, teasing Sandro like that, I got two sisters so I felt that one. Thanks for another great episode.
2:53 we have the same trick here in Australia with the 20 cent piece the platypus bill is exactly 3mm so if the tyre fails to get to the platypus it's time to change you tyres
The fact the tires on that jeep wore so evenly it's not showing any belt on the edges is impressive!
The mechanic who did the alignment is a god lmao😂😂😂
That’s what I was thinking.
When I was young and broke I’ve had tires like that before on a 328i except the wires were… let’s say “very visible”
Ended up getting some 5 series rims and tires for $25 a piece from a junkyard and it looked sick af for the next month until the engine blew.
If they were just worn like that there’s no chance I would’ve got new tires lmao, I’d put those things on the back and have some fun
7:46
People call it kitty litter because that’s what most people use. It works way better than that commercial powder does.
That shuddering brake situation happens to rust belt cars, mostly if stored outside for long periods between drives. The pads cause rust patches on the rotors, resulting in a thickness variation (as Angelina mentioned). In severe cases, it can cause the whole car to shake under braking as the pads grab the thicker spots on every rotation.
or when brake rotor gets crooked when driving through puddle of water after heavy braking
@@krisavi or if the rotors get warped from someone putting the lugs on with an impact gun set to "yes".
@@pokemonrocks08 I can honestly say I've never seen either of those situations through 17 years in the trade.
Of course, I'll see it next week, now that I've said that, lol
@@CountPantsulon getting them hot enough for the puddle thing would generally need something like dragging while driving.
like if some doofus drove a bike resting the foot on the rear brake level slightly. can lead to something that causes the pad to transform into something that gets worn out much quicker than it should
@@lasskinn474 Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand the theory of it, but I still haven't seen it, and I've had customers pull in with their brakes literally on fire. (I think in the last Angelina and Sandro video, she mentions that brake fluid is flammable if it gets hot enough. Can confirm.
My seven year old loves seeing women who love cars like she does. Thanks for helping inspire her!
My dudets. My Dad got out of a ticket in the 70s by challenging the cop with the Penny trick. when he was drag racing. Dad had better tires then the cop. You all rock and love the content as a car nerd here.
I went to change the transmission oil on an old tractor. It was supposed to hold 20 liters, but 40 liters came out. Had to do a couple of those panic runs before it was done lol.
Was the transmission larger then expected?
Changing oil, I always use a large pet training pad under the pan. As a backup, I put kitty litter in an old coffee can and shake it onto any spots that miss the pad. Leave it overnight, then just sweep it away.
I work in a shop and we buy 20lbs bags of “absorb all” and it’s just kitty litter. So yeah can confirm kitty litter works
Messy. Catch it dont spread that bull. Pig mat goes a long way
That brake shuddering clip actually did happen to me. It was in fact the control arm bushes that were worn, which resulted in no cushion to absorb the vibration.
Just an observation with the quick lube on the coyote. I have a buddy of mine who is a veteran. Combat wounded and lost both of his legs. He loves working on cars and especially diesels. But it's very hard for him to get down and do stuff underneath. He has to take off his legs and put on some rubber protectors over the nubs and everything. And its hard for him to maneuver like that. Because of this he usually has a quicklube/mechanic shop do his oil changes. But he is very specific with the type and amount of oil to put in. Could be a situation like that and the message was never given or recieved on what type of oil to use.
Cool story bro
Girl Power! I love this! I did miss Sandro, but this mix is pretty fun too.
"Wear bars" are usually labeled with a little arrow on the sidewall and the letters "TWI" For Tread Wear Indicator.
or a little michelin man
Real mechanics is my RUclips highlight. Excellent job by the ladies of entertaining and educating.
this channel is just something else. i love it here. happy to see angelina, happy to see steph
I had a car on my lift the other day. It was doing the exact thing as buddy with the brakes. What was going on was the control arm bushings had gone bad along with the pads and rotors. It also had a lot of air in the system. The brakes had been inconsistently grabbing the rotor, causing a hard vibration. The bad control arm bushings allowed for things to move around more than they should.
THANK YOU Ms. A, someone FINALLY said it. It's not "warped rotors" it's thickness variation or "DTV" that causes brake judder! I've been slowly trying to inform everyone I know about the true cause.
So. Warped rotors.
@traviscriddle7743 they're not warped. It's not heat distortion. They're unevenly worn around the swept area of the disc. There's a difference. If the rotor was simply warped, then the caliper & pads would follow the disc back and forth and you wouldn't get judder.
The ladies be killin it. Donut gets the best people.
Oh shit, ladies night... Appropriate for Thursday! Awesome job Angelina and Co!
I feel like these two immediately became best friends lol. I'm shivering in Sandro's boots for him already
Next thing you know, while Sandro and Angelina are at the destruction derby duking it out, Steph comes in to tag team against Sandro as a surprise appearance. 😂
Oh cmon....Sando is the GOAT.
I love their little friendly rivalry. 😅
Sandro will always bring that For The Boys energy for us!
I’ve been trying to remove an oil stain in garage for months. This video sold me on some simple green and it worked!!
6:05 I did that when I got my first truck. I was unprepared for 15qt of oil hemorrhaging into my undersized pan. But I wasn’t smart enough to put down a tarp or cardboard. So my mother was quite displeased with me for making a huge mess in her driveway. Lots of pressure washing, wirebrushing, and time later, you can still see the huge shadow. 😅
My dad doesn't throw used oil away, we use it for burning brush. I finally got him to stop burning old lawn tractor tires.😂
Jesus. That's better than burning the tires I guess. Lol
Right, old tires Are dirty. He should burn NEW ones instead.
@@russianbear0027oil comes from plants. Releasing carbon into the atmosphere saves the planet.
How do you get the steel out then if you don't burn it? Or do you heat the house with tyres at a higher temperature?
American recycling at it's finest. And they'll say climate change isn't real. 🤣
To be fair with "you could look up the oil capacity in your owners manual," half the mechanics I've gone to don't look it up and overfill or underfill the car and never check the dipstick, and they're getting paid to do it. I guess knowing what you're doing and checking your work these days is heroic.
The new norm is "do things as quickly as possible". Anything short of getting a task done is considered to be cut from the task entirely.
When you do an oil change (either for the first time on a specific model, or as a mechanic doing multiple a day), you need to:
- Research the specifics (Oil type and quantity required, filter too.)
- Research the method.
- Do the thing.
- Check that you did the thing right.
Anything in that list that isn't "Do the thing" probably gets cut.
Its not mechanic stuff, but at my job I have to check fixes other companies make to their software, and theyll send us a list of things they fixed, and at least half of it is exactly the same as it was before. Most of it is the easiest shit in the world to verify too, but they never do. It's at least 80% of companies we work with are like this. Then they come back with "oops, we forgot to update such and such, it should be good now", and even then lots of times it still isn't changed. Fucking no one verifies anything, it blows my mind.
"I am THE professional mechanic, no need for some stinkin' piece of paper called manual, I have been doing this for over a decade and my way always works!"
I have met way to many of this kind in my life.
My dad was a mechanic for 50+ years and he'd be slapping me from his urn if I never checked the fluid levels after having work done on my car. He made sure I know how to do an oil change in an emergency, change flat tires, and do basic brakes if I absolutely needed to. Nothing funnier than seeing the faces of the mechanics that just worked on my car watch me, a woman, lift the hood and start double checking dip sticks, battery, hoses, belts, the radiator etc... Not saying they do anything wrong, but I've known too many women who've wound up having to take their cars back for repair work due to the mechanic(s) conveniently forgetting to top off fluid levels; especially oil and brake fluid. When I was e n my eaely 20's a mechanic once tried to tell me the master cylinder needed to be changed after they had to do my brakes and replace one of the lines. I saw that there wasn't any fluid in the reservoir so I asked why there was no brake fluid in it and how did they bleed the new line without it. They went back and fixed the "problem" for free and ta-da the master cylinder was just fine!😉
You're going to a quick lube. Not a mechanic. Don't get confused. 😂
Floor Dri is literally just kitty litter that they charge 3 times more for.
Do they make a clumping version? :)
And kitty litter is just a specific type of rock/clay. Just dig it up, turn it into small bits, bag it and sell it. No extra work required. Even kitty litter is expensive for what it is.
Worst thing, in my country, a professional shop needs to use the "real stuff", to comply with environmental rules.
@Yyolve *scratches out kitty litter on container, writes "real stuff" * There perfectly legal now!
An even weirder fact about kitty litteris that a chicken farmer originally developed it as a dietary aid for his chickens.
It just happened to also be a good alternative for the traditional sand box that was used at the time.
You gotta make sure to get the clay type litter. They make other kinds that don't work for spills.
The car with the radiator hanging and the loose bumper was a MK 5 VW, and that issue is pretty common. The whole radiator support is plastic, and it breaks the first time you hit anything like a curb or parking marker. I had this exact thing happen when my lowered Jetta hooked its front bumper over a parking marker. As soon as you back out, the lower radiator support rips off and takes the front bumper with it. I was lucky, enough of my rad support remained to hold the rad up until I could fix it.
Having these two together in a video is doing things to me.
17:08 pretty sure that’s from a Cruze. I had a girl come in for an oil change in her Cruze and it was at 36k with no oil change. Her and her mom both bought a Cruze at the same time. I speak to her about how getting her oil changed more often and she said “do you think that’s why my mom’s car needs a new engine?” Her mom was at 42k with a blow motor.
Love the energy of these two together!
🙄
More of these ladies together! Love it!
I had a similar sound as the one at 14:13 on a car once. We thought it was the wheel hub bearing, so I bought a new one to replace it with. When I was taking the axle nut off, I realized how lucky I was that the cotter pin for the axle nut was still in. Because the cotter pin was the ONLY thing holding the nut on. The sound came from my wheel moving side to side when braking. Tightened everything back down and no more odd sounds!
Ohh they have such good chemistry together, more please!!!
I see Angelina I click and pay attention to class
And Steph is goals ❤
6:03 I SEE WHAT YALL DID THERE 😂
No lie, every time I see the thumbnail for a new RMS video it puts a smile on my face.
The brakes in the first clip most likely had nothing to do with the mechanics and everything to do with the owner. They drove the car past the pads and into the backing. Metal on metal crime right there. We've all heard a car in traffic making grinding noises when the brakes are applied. That's the problem with being book learnt and not real world learnt. Much respect to those who teach but it's not fair to blame the mechanic for something the owner did. Keep up the great work, I look forward to every episode.
I once changed oil and filter on an old Merc that hadn't been serviced in a very long time. The filter was one like in this video and when I pulled it out of the housing, it completely disintegrated. I was pulling pieces out of the housing. He also had zero oil on his dipstick before I started the job.
Angelina is the best, i could listen to her explain anything for hours!
dont get me wrong, I ride for ma boy sandro but this is probable the best chemistry yet.
great vibes, keep it up!🤙
10:40 Well you see, this is the UK, he probably wanted to do it while it wasn't raining, but got bored of waiting for it to stop raining after 3 years.
That's it! Mechanics react should race all their Hondas!
About having engines sit: A few weeks ago i started up my BMW 740 that has been sitting for close to 4 years. Old fuel, didn't do anything special to it, just new battery and cranked it over. Started in half a second and ran just fine :)
Best Team Ever!!! Their vibes are contagious…reminds of the auto shop teachers in the 80’s…👍✌️🤣🤣🤣
14:36 I can't stop repeating that bit over and over :D And Sandros reaction is just too pure.
Angelina is the teacher we all wish we had
Man I look forward to these videos everyweek. Thanks guys.
Fun tip: the Floor Dry 'kitty litter' works perfectly as potting soil for most plants and potted trees. As long as it doesn't have additives it's actually one of the preferred mediums for growing bonsai and succulents.
15:00 replacing the rotor, pads, control arm... involves doing the lug nuts back up correctly.
Angelina AND Steph? Let's GOOOOO
The laughter on the background is always hilarious 😂😂😭
perfect timing just was looking for a video to watch :)
My very first oil catching device in my garage was a stamped steel enamel coated shower basin (30x30 from a salvage yard) with a coaster wheel (from a shopping cart) at each corner. Low enough to fit under a car, big enough to catch a lot of oil, and has a drain hole built in..
These girls are great very funny and entertaining to watch I love everyone on this show it’s been my favorite for a while now keep up the great work !
i adore these two ladies, doubly so with them together. appreciate u girls very much !
The new one doesn't add much
Love you ladies!!!!! I love the dynamic!!!!
1:13 It's like managing your re-entry angle in order to preserve the ablative heat shield of your spacecraft: Go in too steep, and you'll create more heat than your shield can handle at any given time (it breaks up); Go in too shallow, you'll stay heated up for longer than your shield can tolerate in order to hold together (it peels off).
Slam the brakes, you outgas and grind off a lot of dust. Ride the brakes lightly for long distances, you'll get brake fade as the fluid boils.
Or as I found out to my own detriment: don't use the brakes often and/or hard enough and the rust won't be scraped off properly, leading to pitting so bad the rotors had to be replaced.
After the first paragraph, I didn't think we were talking about cars any more.
"It's like managing your re-entry angle in order to preserve the ablative heat shield of your spacecraft."
Something we can all relate to.
@@chaoslord8918 Hey, once you got that one aced, braking whilst canyon carving seems a little easier.
that's why i do both and brake erratically. keeps everyone on their toes
6:34 I had an engine replaced by a dealer, and when I changed the oil for the first time after the replacement, I had this same problem. The kicker: I had a 7-quart oil pan, and the vehicle is a 2015 Expedition, which is supposed to hold 6 quarts. I put the drain plug back in when the drain pan started overflowing and went and bought another drain pan. In all, I collected about 10 quarts in containers and cleaned up about 2 quarts off of my garage floor.
1:30 That's not failing to replace rotors while replacing pads lol. That's not replacing pads and then getting down to metal on metal, and then still driving that way for a hot minute
Radical Steph and my Queen Angelina.. It's a good day
Someone at donut has to pitch the next hi-lo with donut hosts and RMS hosts against each other
This crew is amazing!!
These two ladies and Sandro are some of the best content on YT.
More videos with these 2 lovely ladies and Sandro pls. Their energies are SOOO likable.
I love these ladies!!! We want more vids with both of them!!! 🫶🫶🫶
saved my day at work thanks guys!
Angelina and Steph are hilarious. Watch out Sandro the ladies are coming for that pink slip! 🤣
In the UK we used to use 10p coins; there was a circle of dots that was about 1.6mm from the edge you could gauge against. Since they changed the 10p coin design it doesn't work though (I think there's a similar test using the 20p coin now).
Can't believe it's been a year since the first mechanics video's out. One of my fav weekly show on youtube 🎉🎉🎉
