Scotty's knowledge is like Gold Dust, 50 years of experince cannot be learned from a book or a course, along with integrity and honesty, looking out for others.. Nice one Scotty!
Dad had WD40 on everything around the house and cars 50 plus years ago. Continued that tradition with my brother and I. The car door hinges love it, but the door hinges love white lithium grease even more. ❤
I saw something I think is funny, but mostly true! According to the article, you need just TWO tools!! One is WD-40, and the other is duct tape. If it doesn’t move, and it should, you use WD-40 to loosen it up so it moves. If it moves and it shouldn’t, you then use duct tape to stop it moving!
"WD-40, vise grips, and some duct tape. Any man worth his salt can do half the household chores with just those three things.” -Walt Kowalski, Gran Torino
I remember when I was young in the late 1970’s, several times one of my exhaust pipes would develop a rust hole. I would grab an empty can that was big enough, cut it down the top to bottom, spread it and then fit it around the exhaust pipe and secure it with clamps. Worked every time!
As I recollect WD40 was used on M16’s in Vietnam @1970 as an attempt to solve the jamming problem. M16 was not my primary weapon so I never used it personally, so I don’t know if it worked. WD40 was in some care packages we received along with cigs., chewing tobacco, candy, etc.
Scotty, back in the 70's I learned a trick from a fellow Jeeper. He sprayed WD-40 under his Jeep after washing it off, then drove on a shell road. The Alkaline from the Oyster shells neutralized the rust. That worked great until the road crews stopped using oyster shell to pave roads. But still, I sprayed that wd-40 all up under the Jeep and it never rusted out.
I use WD 40 all of the time for many things, but if I have any electrical variable switches that are stiff and not making the best contact, I use DeoxIT. DeoxIT cleans electrical contacts as well as lubricates them. With these two tools, you have everything you need from rust to electronic corrosion. I use wd40 to clean old computer boards that batteries have leaked onto them. WD 40 is a wounder tool that works on almost anything. I even heard it used to clean stains out of carpets. Keep up the Great work Scotty!
WD 40 actually cleans really good. However CRC 2-26 is my current miracle fluid. I have tested most electrical products. CRC sprayer the best very good control, and you can foam it out slowly. Get some.
Yep. We use deOxit for electronics, mostly on indoor equipment like amplifiers. Outdoors like cars WD40 will do, unless it does not fix the problem. Then i try deOxit..Then i spray WD40 on top after wiping..
Good hints with WD-40. But use a dry lubricant like graphite powder or graphite in a liquid medium that evaporates quickly. Oils and liquid lubricants will attract grit wearing down lock parts. Also true for all locks. Also don't load up keys on your car key ring, which will speed wear of your ignition switch too.
Coming home from work at 1 am in the middle of nowhere the car went through a pretty deep puddle and quit. I got out and in 6 inches of water ..sprayed all my wires and distributor with Wd-40 and off I went. What a life saver. Every fall I sprayed my wires to keep them pliable and I never had problems in any wet weather ...
Dang Scotty your a Master Mechanic Genius! You listened when Grandpa and Dad taught you a thing or two. Yes i know they did not put up with all the electrical crap we have, but they passed COMMON Sense down to you. COME BACK TO TEXAS BROTHER :) ❤💯🙏
Scotty please don't recommend people use WD-40 in locks of any kind, unless it's an emergency situation. I have dealt with more stuck lock and window parts than i can count. WD-40 turns into gummy blobs that hold every speck of dust!!
Scotty, before you retire you need to make a video reacting to the Ford BARRA engine here in Australia. It is ford Australia’s engine and it is near perfect. The ignition coils are not held in with screws, the intake manifold does not cover anything and it’s a great looking engine with no plastic. Produced between 2003-2016.
The WORST for rusty bolts! Use PB B'laster. DO NOT Use in Locks. Graphite or dry Teflon spray. And ,Do Not use on zippers, attracts dirt. Use dry Teflon spray.
I will agree WD40 works good for many things but I have a huge problem with it. I have used if for about 60 years and in all that time I have never used a complete can because when it is still half full it stops spraying. Very aggrivating. I agree the black Gorilla tape is the best on the market
@@DS-ur5rm I have seen online a way of repressureing the can but lot of work to do for a little. I have just started to puncture the top and drain it into a pump sprayer. How would you re-pressure the can?
@@tjtamisha7621 sorry late reply, I used to use air blower with compressor, take top off and just slightly fill can. That always fixed the problem I ever had in these cases. Im qualified mechanic by trade
Ducky tape also comes in handy for patching a down jacket….according to my dad. 😄 I have memories of the old-school grey tape on my dad’s jacket when he was outside tinkering in his garage. He also always felt there was no need to wash his car, just clean the tires and get them all shiny and the whole car would look magically clean. He kept that ‘86 Honda Accord for years and put 250k miles on it. Cans of WD-40 were always sitting around in his garage.
In Europe we call it GAFFER tape. And yes, the old thick black cloth ones are the best. I dislike the grey ( duct) tape. The top comes off, gets sticky..
My two favorite uses for duct tape. When I lived in the north, I sprayed my sneakers and would shovel snow. It kept all the snow and slush off my sneakers. The other method I used was when my wife's car was almost stalling out when it rained. I opened the hood and one of the sparkplug wires had rubber burned off and was touching bare metal. All I had was WD 40. I sprayed it on the bare metal part of the cable and drove 5 miles to a part store. The car ran fine to the store where I changed the bad wire.
I am not sure if Scott was half kidding or not, but I have used electrical tape to mask warning lights on my dashboard after removing the airbags on my car.
Forgive me if there’s a comment in here already bout this : guerrilla tape is the best as Scotty says, there is another big benefit I show anyone I possibly can if you apply heat to it , it’s moldable to almost anything and hardens into the shape you form or attempting to deal with very good results. Believe it or not , i patched a hole on my back tire using the method I just listed as a temp fix . True story! Couldn’t believe it worked like it did!
I know everyone has his favorite duct tape story. My favorite was way back in the 60’s on a freezing mid-west winter morning when a friend with 3 twin engine Beechcrafts ready for a rush cargo run called me to help out because they were short one copilot. When I arrived at the planes, in the process of removing ice on the wings, he put a hole in one of the ailerons. He got out some duct tape, and 500 miles later we made the run without incident. To this day, I don’t know how that tape worked so well in the freezing temperatures.
Boesheild T-9 is a great wax based lubricant for door hinges and locks or any similar moving parts. It's big in the bicycle industry, you can probably get it at your local bike shop.
Understand that lightweight / penetrating oils to oxidize very easily... This process makes them gummy. This is why they should not be used in moving mechanisms. They are fine in the short term, but as they oxidize, the movement of the mechanism can be effected... Most people just reapply the penetrating oil and the movement is better - BUT that does not remove the old, gummy oil, it just loosens / softens it... This situation starts to compound after repeated cycles, and the amount of gummed up, oxidized oil builds up. Generally speaking - Penetrating oils should not be used / regarded as a lubricant, because of this. Many thinner oils do resist oxidation - Mineral oil is a good example. For locks specifically - Lock lubricant has graphite added, to provide a lasting layer of friction reduction.
Nice Video! I got a 2015 kia forte lx, my car makes this loud noise when starting my car no problems though, it started when my original starter got bad and the lady at the parts store gave us the wrong starter (didn't have the correct # of pinion teeth) without knowing we put it on and didn't want to start, so we gave it some gas and it did. 2 days later i went to o rileys again to use warranty for a new starter and that time the guy told us it was the wrong starter and gave us the correct one, 3 more starters later and still makes that noise!
Finally, the internet may get some decent advice from someone who doesn't just bash technology they don't understand because they worked on cars 50 years ago.
@@TonyBasuro Years ago I used graphite on a sticky lock. Eventually it no longer worked. I took it to a locksmith and they used WD40 to clean and lube it. It worked fine after that. The locksmith told me to never use graphite on a lock.
Scotty, I live in the Maritimes. Sorry but WD 40 is not a rust protector/inhibitor. It flashes off quickly and fades away - if you want rust protection try Rust Check (green or red) or Fluid Film. There are other products but those are my go to choices and I've tried a lot of brands.
Ford's dual bolt design on the coil overs, is probably due their inability to cast 4cyl engines with enough meat, to keep the spark plugs from blowing out, after time. They're known as 'popcorn engines' for a reason...
I tape my left eyelid open with a strip of clear gorilla tape, as an eye surgeon (both sweet and hot) accidently cut my blink muscle while resecting Meningoma wrapped around my left optic nerve... works good, suddenly get 3 D vision!!!!!!!
We use silicon spray on the locks at my work, it seems to do the job well, especially if you let it sit overnight on a rusted lock. Only on padlocks etc. but would it be bad for an ignition barrel?
Looks like you have gaffer's tape which is better than duct tape. WD-40 absorbs water. It has its uses and doesn't hurt anything but it is a temporary fix and it will evaporate and harden with time.
Hi I have a 2015 toyota rav4 114k MI. regular oil changes and maintenance about 5k mi ago started getting poor gas milage. Gas fillup computer says 280 miles to empty my wife drives 120 miles a week and she will get about 180 or 200 miles

He kept that ‘86 Honda Accord for years and put 250k miles on it. Cans of WD-40 were always sitting around in his garage.
❤who doesn't love Scotty you the man
Scotty is the man.
In Europe we call it GAFFER tape. And yes, the old thick black cloth ones are the best. I dislike the grey ( duct) tape. The top comes off, gets sticky..
Haha, 5:27 cover up warning lights. Love it.
My two favorite uses for duct tape. When I lived in the north, I sprayed my sneakers and would shovel snow. It kept all the snow and slush off my sneakers. The other method I used was when my wife's car was almost stalling out when it rained. I opened the hood and one of the sparkplug wires had rubber burned off and was touching bare metal. All I had was WD 40. I sprayed it on the bare metal part of the cable and drove 5 miles to a part store. The car ran fine to the store where I changed the bad wire.
I am not sure if Scott was half kidding or not, but I have used electrical tape to mask warning lights on my dashboard after removing the airbags on my car.
Pb blaster works better on rusted parts
Dude is an absolute character
Wd40 is also excellent for cleaning windshield wipers and weatherstripping all around the car. Basically it cleans rubber greatly
I tried a big blast on by truck after seeing this video originally years ago. Did nothing to keep the holes from getting bigger.
Smoking on start up after being left overnight or for a few hours is usually worn valve stem seals.
Here in the South, Duct Tape is considered " The Eight Wonder of the World. " !
Forgive me if there’s a comment in here already bout this :
guerrilla tape is the best as Scotty says, there is another big benefit I show anyone I possibly can
if you apply heat to it , it’s moldable to almost anything and hardens into the shape you form or attempting to deal with very good results.
Believe it or not , i patched a hole on my back tire using the method I just listed as a temp fix . True story! Couldn’t believe it worked like it did!
I just discovered this channel and I love it. Feels like I'm getting automobile knowledge from Joe Pesci's brother.
Your Honesty is Addicting good sir!!!
I know everyone has his favorite duct tape story. My favorite was way back in the 60’s on a freezing mid-west winter morning when a friend with 3 twin engine Beechcrafts ready for a rush cargo run called me to help out because they were short one copilot. When I arrived at the planes, in the process of removing ice on the wings, he put a hole in one of the ailerons. He got out some duct tape, and 500 miles later we made the run without incident. To this day, I don’t know how that tape worked so well in the freezing temperatures.
Boesheild T-9 is a great wax based lubricant for door hinges and locks or any similar moving parts. It's big in the bicycle industry, you can probably get it at your local bike shop.
2:00.. I GOT 2019 Tacoma + 2024 4RUNNER for the BOSS. because YOU...SHE LOVES YOU 😂😂😂😂😂
Kool. Scotty moved back to Houston
Understand that lightweight / penetrating oils to oxidize very easily...
This process makes them gummy. This is why they should not be used in moving mechanisms.
They are fine in the short term, but as they oxidize, the movement of the mechanism can be effected...
Most people just reapply the penetrating oil and the movement is better -
BUT that does not remove the old, gummy oil, it just loosens / softens it...
This situation starts to compound after repeated cycles, and the amount of gummed up, oxidized oil builds up.
Generally speaking - Penetrating oils should not be used / regarded as a lubricant, because of this.
Many thinner oils do resist oxidation - Mineral oil is a good example.
For locks specifically - Lock lubricant has graphite added, to provide a lasting layer of friction reduction.
Any plans to write a book addressing the basics and diagnosis of ICE maintenance?
You’re a very smart person you can’t Retire and honest person too Jose Los Angeles ca
Nice Video! I got a 2015 kia forte lx, my car makes this loud noise when starting my car no problems though, it started when my original starter got bad and the lady at the parts store gave us the wrong starter (didn't have the correct # of pinion teeth) without knowing we put it on and didn't want to start, so we gave it some gas and it did. 2 days later i went to o rileys again to use warranty for a new starter and that time the guy told us it was the wrong starter and gave us the correct one, 3 more starters later and still makes that noise!
You're amazing mate keep doing what you're doing
Finally, the internet may get some decent advice from someone who doesn't just bash technology they don't understand because they worked on cars 50 years ago.
Use dielectric grease on the tips of the spark plugs
40yrs of playing with the many cars I've owned and never have I used any lubricant installing spark plugs. It's unnecessary.
Thankyou for your sharing
FOR KEY LOCKS.... USW WD40 FIRST, WORK IT THEN USE TRI-LUBE.
Graphite powder on locks.
I had a locksmith tell me not to use graphite, that's like packing a very fine sand in there.
They say use tri-flow.
Yes but graphite is much more expensive
Thought you were replying to Tony lol
Graphite power might be soft and smooth looking but it over time acts abrasive
@@TonyBasuro Years ago I used graphite on a sticky lock. Eventually it no longer worked. I took it to a locksmith and they used WD40 to clean and lube it. It worked fine after that. The locksmith told me to never use graphite on a lock.
Scotty, I live in the Maritimes. Sorry but WD 40 is not a rust protector/inhibitor. It flashes off quickly and fades away - if you want rust protection try Rust Check (green or red) or Fluid Film. There are other products but those are my go to choices and I've tried a lot of brands.
Ford's dual bolt design on the coil overs, is probably due their inability to cast 4cyl engines with enough meat, to keep the spark plugs from blowing out, after time. They're known as 'popcorn engines' for a reason...
WD40 is awesome on the bottom of your cleats for muddy football and baseball games. Mud won't stick to your cleats!
Definitely not legal but it never is until you get caught.
@@chesteredgewater3951 Please quote the law and where to find it?

For hinges is better lithium grease in spray, silicone is great for rubber
What parts would you recommend to carry if traveling for extended periods of time! I’m thinking…starter, alternator…I have a 19 yr old sienna.
I love the lion king reference with the WD-40.
Kroil does a lot better job as a penetrating oil than WD-40, plus it has long term lubricating qualities.
It is the best, but expensive
creepy....
Lmao, ive used the duct tape over the check engine light before 😂
😂😂😂😂
I tape my left eyelid open with a strip of clear gorilla tape, as an eye surgeon (both sweet and hot) accidently cut my blink muscle while resecting Meningoma wrapped around my left optic nerve... works good, suddenly get 3 D vision!!!!!!!
We use silicon spray on the locks at my work, it seems to do the job well, especially if you let it sit overnight on a rusted lock. Only on padlocks etc. but would it be bad for an ignition barrel?
Just remember that the WD in the name stands for "Water Displacement" and the 40 is the 40th formula that was tested.
thanks mate, some good tips there 👍👍👍
I have a feeling that Scotty will fix my Vectra :D
I live in Kentucky and it snows ; can I spray my ac unit fins and fan wheel to keep from freezing?
Its great but it's not a lubricant like oil it's a lubricant remover.
We used on military headsets but not on keypads or switches.
Looks like you have gaffer's tape which is better than duct tape. WD-40 absorbs water. It has its uses and doesn't hurt anything but it is a temporary fix and it will evaporate and harden with time.
Your editor was on fire on this video LOL😂 The Lion King was the best
Thanks…. great tips 😊
@scottykilmer pls buy one wire less rode mic. Ur content is damn good.
Excellent video! Thanks, Scotty!!
When testing the coil wouldn't you have to change the wire connection also so that the timing isn't off?
Hi I have a 2015 toyota rav4 114k MI. regular oil changes and maintenance about 5k mi ago started getting poor gas milage. Gas fillup computer says 280 miles to empty my wife drives 120 miles a week and she will get about 180 or 200 miles
Don’t spray Wd 40 on the rubber suspension parts. It will destroy them.
Black exhaust is mixture, blue exhaust is burning oil.
