They didn't though. For one, they were talking about 4WD not 4x4. 4x4 just describes how many wheels are on the car, and how many can get power. i.e. awd subaru wrx has 4 wheels and they can all be powered, so it is 4x4, fwd corolla has 4 wheels but only two can get power so it is 4x2, trucks and tank-things can get funky with 6x4 and stuff. 4WD entails four powered wheels that are permanently locked or (more often) can be locked. In the second case, it is basically awd most of the time, but when the differentials are locked, even power will go to wheel in a pair. Without a centre-locking differential the power transmitted to the front and back pairs can differ even while each pair is locked, but most 4WD cars have a centre-locking diff that makes sure each wheel gets the exact same power regardless of the grip differences. AWD just means all wheels can get power (I believe it is also always full-time - i.e. you can't switch to 4x2), but only has open or limited slip differentials (I don't know if they can have locking centre differentials) so you can't technically give equal power to each wheel. I know this is confusing as hell. Here's some examples (the details are in a heirarchal order): Toyota Prado -4x4 -4WD -technically also AWD Honda Civic -4x2 -fwd Toyota Rav4 -4x4 -AWD
Car companies like hyundai and kia just put 4wd on their awd cars(and japanese people calls every 4x4 4(yon)wd) even jeep put 4x4 on their awd cars. it's hard to tell if it is classic 4x4 or just awd these days

As a result, some people will say a Lambo has 4WD, even though it uses a system that's really AWD if you want to make that distinction. 2.

Just the fact that you watch @donutmedia makes you a keeper all day long. Now you are trying to learn all these terms. He better make you his wife soon and not just a girlfriend or another car guy will drive on in and throw you in his boot.
@supercecilia Xenon: diamond, Regular: Gold. You could use diamond for regular ones, as it is a clear color, but most experts at TÜV in germany mention that the gold version is more efficient with old lights, reaching a "quadratischer Blinkerflüssigkeitskoeffizient" (quadratic blinker fluid coefficient) of QBL^2=0.95=95%, while using diamond on them only squeezes out 85%. Diamond costs around the same as gold. Some care, some do not. If you live in germany, ask the TÜV to do it for you. If you live anywhere else, do it yourself, as it could get costly if you ask a mechanic.
@Fail Zero me too lol. I played all the N64 rally games and GT blew my mind so I played when my buddies were sitting around lying about having touched a girl.
14:23 LSDs aren't limited to use in RWD cars. FWD cars use them all the time to combat torque steer and wet/slippery situations where power delivery is key. My Mazdaspeed 3 has an LSD in its transaxle for instance, and it may not be super common but I know other F-F cars use LSDs in their transaxles. And this is the most comfortable I've been talking with shop/forums terms in a youtube comment section. Thanks, Donut!
@@iplaysdrums oof I'm sure. Not even worth it to replace a lot of the time. My dad has had a Sentra since 2008 with no issues but I'm sure he's kept up with maint on that. I just replaced my Patriot with an XJ. Already love it way more.
actually BMWs are the cars that need blinker fluid the most idk if you've noticed, but almost all BMW owners have run their cars out of blinker fluid, and at that point it's so fucked the blinkers don't even work anymore remember to top that shit off!
@@Chimera6297 What are you talking about? It's well know BMWs are exempt from having to use a blinker. Just like it's well known if you buy a Jeep, you have to slowly take off parts of it until your driving nothing but an engine with wheels. I mean if you're driving a Jeep with your doors on, or if you are using your blinkers in a BMW, I'm not sure if they let you keep your license.
In Straya, the slang for bad gear shifting is called "roo juice". This is when you roll away in traffic or from a parking spot in the wrong gear or the revs are not matched. As a result, the car hops and lurches forwards like a Kangaroo going off at full speed.
All you need to know: dual clutch transmission (dct), cvt and standard AT (which would mean it has a torque converter). There is also singe clutch T but they are rare these days.
A semi automatic transmission is a manual but without the clutch which means you don't have a clutch which uses the same concept of a manual transmission but without a clutch.

Used to work in a parts store, the amount of people who look at you with a blank stare when you ask "is it a 4, 6, or 8 cylinder" has hurt my soul beyond repair. And yes, I have been asked "where can I find the blinker fluid?" before.
My favourite it telling the dude to change the air in his tires as the winter air reduces power in the summer months and the summer air reduces grip in the winter lmfao

Revmatching and shifting without the clutch is super fun! Until I wore out the gearbox. But then I got to learn how to replace it myself, so there's that
Please take it to the shop ASAP, your blinkers are becoming worn asf. It could cost anywhere from $50-$500 to repair. The sooner you get it fixed, the better, you don't want it to leak and rust your co-axial engine mounting block.

True story, my first car was an automatic. I had watched Initial D a lot, and watched how they Heel-toed. When I got my second car, which was a manual, I tried to figure out how to heel toe myself. Took a few tries before I figured it out, and a couple weeks before I was able to accurately match the revs. These days I heel toe basically every braking downshift just out of pure instinct. Even took an older guy, who has done a lot of track days and amateur racing over the years for a drive in my car, and he said "wait you heel toe? Wow Im impressed".
When i first started driving, i didnt rev match that well when downshifting, but once i mastered that, heel toeing was an easy next step for me. Although I still sometimes miss the throttle
You should talk about “sand bagging”, where the term came from and why it’s good/bad depending on who’s doing the sand bagging. Or some people in the south say “Let her eat” meaning let it run until it breaks.
My favorite is when I did used cars for Toyota and asked the parts guy to quote me Diesel Exhaust Fluid for the F250 I was working on as a used car. He thought I was messing with him. Had to ask him three times then show him it was a real thing.

For one, they were talking about 4WD not 4x4. 4x4 just describes how many wheels are on the car, and how many can get power. i.e. awd subaru wrx has 4 wheels and they can all be powered, so it is 4x4, fwd corolla has 4 wheels but only two can get power so it is 4x2, trucks and tank-things can get funky with 6x4 and stuff.

Just make sure to tell him to change Blinker Fluid every 3,000.
I really need to check my blinker fluid, haven't done it in a year and that clickin gets really annoying. Thanks for mentioning it!
@supercecilia yes. You get it at all gas stations. It's the yellow(gold) or white(diamond) liquid depending on the type of light you have.
@supercecilia Xenon: diamond, Regular: Gold.
You could use diamond for regular ones, as it is a clear color, but most experts at TÜV in germany mention that the gold version is more efficient with old lights, reaching a "quadratischer Blinkerflüssigkeitskoeffizient" (quadratic blinker fluid coefficient) of QBL^2=0.95=95%, while using diamond on them only squeezes out 85%. Diamond costs around the same as gold. Some care, some do not. If you live in germany, ask the TÜV to do it for you. If you live anywhere else, do it yourself, as it could get costly if you ask a mechanic.
No one: I didn’t know any of this!
My 40 year-old ass: Did none of you read the grab turismo 2 game manual?
Dude, GT2's manual is underrated as fuck. I grew up racing and building race cars, and that booklet still taught me some shit.
I have lol, I think I still have it. And also the Apex manual from Gran Turismo 4 xD
I only had the psp one
@Fail Zero me too lol. I played all the N64 rally games and GT blew my mind so I played when my buddies were sitting around lying about having touched a girl.
Skip Barber's Racing School on GT3 actually helped me out of a few situations later as I began driving.
14:23 LSDs aren't limited to use in RWD cars. FWD cars use them all the time to combat torque steer and wet/slippery situations where power delivery is key. My Mazdaspeed 3 has an LSD in its transaxle for instance, and it may not be super common but I know other F-F cars use LSDs in their transaxles.
And this is the most comfortable I've been talking with shop/forums terms in a youtube comment section. Thanks, Donut!
Subaru has them too
My si has one as well
Integra has it
I appreciate that you use the word transaxle correctly. Lots of FWD Focus have LSD front diffs too.
LSD in FWD you go from torque steer to no steer haha

I brought a BMW so I can spend less on blinker fluid. I'm saving hundreds every month.
actually BMWs are the cars that need blinker fluid the most
idk if you've noticed, but almost all BMW owners have run their cars out of blinker fluid, and at that point it's so fucked the blinkers don't even work anymore
remember to top that shit off!
@@Chimera6297 What are you talking about? It's well know BMWs are exempt from having to use a blinker. Just like it's well known if you buy a Jeep, you have to slowly take off parts of it until your driving nothing but an engine with wheels. I mean if you're driving a Jeep with your doors on, or if you are using your blinkers in a BMW, I'm not sure if they let you keep your license.

In Straya, the slang for bad gear shifting is called "roo juice". This is when you roll away in traffic or from a parking spot in the wrong gear or the revs are not matched. As a result, the car hops and lurches forwards like a Kangaroo going off at full speed.
I would like a whole video about the difference between Steptronic/Semi-auto transmission/Easytronic/CVT/DSG and a classic AT.
All you need to know: dual clutch transmission (dct), cvt and standard AT (which would mean it has a torque converter). There is also singe clutch T but they are rare these days.
Or a good ol powerglide
Top comment
A semi automatic transmission is a manual but without the clutch which means you don't have a clutch which uses the same concept of a manual transmission but without a clutch.

Used to work in a parts store, the amount of people who look at you with a blank stare when you ask "is it a 4, 6, or 8 cylinder" has hurt my soul beyond repair. And yes, I have been asked "where can I find the blinker fluid?" before.

The word “rural” kinda defines that because it’s affiliated with there being less people.
But Huston is less populated with around 75% of LA’s air quality. That’s terrible especially if you scaled it up to equal population.

BMW owners never have to change their blinker fluid because they never use their blinker anyways
Really, I always thought it was because the blinker fluid lines were pressurized and it could only be changed at your BMW dealership

I’ve been hearing the TikTok noise on my blinkers since I got my car how much money does that cost
Please take it to the shop ASAP, your blinkers are becoming worn asf. It could cost anywhere from $50-$500 to repair. The sooner you get it fixed, the better, you don't want it to leak and rust your co-axial engine mounting block.
I'm afraid that your blinkers have aids, please replace them with new ones.

@@190SkyTeam Is it a used car? Because cars before 2005 can handle it for tens of thousands of miles before it's blinker fluid needs replacing. But if it's a newer car, please get it checked

Im glad and suprised I knew most of these, it seems like yesterday when I was just getting into cars. Also +1 for the Sepultura reference.
True story, my first car was an automatic. I had watched Initial D a lot, and watched how they Heel-toed.
When I got my second car, which was a manual, I tried to figure out how to heel toe myself. Took a few tries before I figured it out, and a couple weeks before I was able to accurately match the revs.
These days I heel toe basically every braking downshift just out of pure instinct. Even took an older guy, who has done a lot of track days and amateur racing over the years for a drive in my car, and he said "wait you heel toe? Wow Im impressed".
Yeah I've started doing it a bit recently, not too hard though
Nicee
Corona Virus: Just what you’d expect from a Subaru. The cars is great but their head gasket are crappy indeed.
Same, my first car was a manual and I immediately started learning how to heel toe. I can't downshift with heel toe, it feels so weird if I don't now
When i first started driving, i didnt rev match that well when downshifting, but once i mastered that, heel toeing was an easy next step for me. Although I still sometimes miss the throttle
You should talk about “sand bagging”, where the term came from and why it’s good/bad depending on who’s doing the sand bagging. Or some people in the south say “Let her eat” meaning let it run until it breaks.
If you go far enough south you encounter "Let'er'ate" which means the same thing but it just one word
