My buddy has a big rig…he does long haul…his Freightliner has an N14 Cummins and he bought it new and does all his own light mechanic work and maintenance…he’s an absolute freak when it comes to maintenance…these rigs will go 20,000-30,000 miles on an oil change…he did his every 15,000 with Esso XD3 when they made it and then went to Mobile 1…he put a quart of ATF in every oil change and a quart in the fuel tank when he filled up…after about 2 million miles without putting a wrench on it the engine was starting to get a little tired so he took it to Cummins to rebuild it…they wanted $30k to rebuild it but couldn’t believe the mileage on it and figured this was at least its second…he said he never touched the engine so they called Cummins Corporate and Cummins offered him a brand new long block crate engine for the same price if he would give them his old engine so they could do a tear down on it to try and figure out how it lasted so long…so that’s a testament to how important maintenance is!..change your oil people!!
That's incredible! What was the outcome on the teardown of his original N14 Cummins?
@@matthewmiller2268 I don’t think they ever told him…I’m going to quiz him about it!…
The N14 isn't part of the million mile club for nothing!
The N14 has a "robust" bottom end to say the least. You keep it well maintained and it will last a very long time as evidenced here.
@@ronaldrussell5481 he also doesn’t drive the truck hard which helps a lot too…I worked with a guy in Alberta who drove a heavy spec Kenworth winch truck and it had a 575 Cat in it and it was coming up on its bearing roll-in schedule which was likely 500,000-750,000 kms, and he took it straight to Cat and the mechanic dropped the pan and pulled the cape and measured the main bearing clearance on all of them and he said they were all the same as new bearings and so there was no point in replacing new with new so he buttoned it up and told him to keep doing what he was doing…I couldn’t tell you his oil change intervals but he was definitely a fanatic about his truck and one other important point he told me was he never drove faster than 90km/hr…so driving habits also increases engine longevity as well…a new engine today is gonna run a fella close to $50k these days so it’s probably a good idea to consider taking car of your rig!
I've been in the industry for 25 years and never even knew this type of shop existed. Well done Dave... well done.
Appreciate that coming from an experienced mechanic 👍
Make your own shop then exactly how you like it.
@@DavesAutoCenterCenterville
I wish you hadn’t cut the video off at the point where you found the low compression hole!!!
If you continued the video in another video upload, then give us a link to that video!!!
I’m not an engine shop guy, but I love watching this stuff and I’m real interested in watching all the nifty things you do to refurbish motors that are almost gone or build ones that are all gone, etc.!!!
It’s not a cliffhanger episode of TV; you’re putting quality information out for people to use and learn from and understand!
Should I replace civic oil at 50% on the oil life and cut the interval in half?
@@V1enthusiastI personally would, I’m a a mechanic been doing it for 2 years now by no means a master yet lol, but I drive a 2016 mustang GT, I always change my oil at 50% oil life or sooner, but that’s partly because I run her hard and daily, whats the service mileage on yours?
I own a 2013 Nissan NV2500 HD with the 4.0L V6. It has just over 430,000 original miles on it with the original motor and transmission. I am the second owner and it’s had 5,000 mile oil change intervals since it was new. These vans are solid if you take care of them. So sad to see this one being neglected like that.
Is it the original timing chain(s)? If so, that's really good.
@@dadgarage7966 After 2009 2010 Nissan fixed the timing chain issues in the 4.0V6. Super durable Motor when you maintain them. Also not direct injected like the New 3.8 and the New 5.6 V8. The 4.0 is a bit of a gas hog. But they will run forever when maintained properly. As good if not better than any Honda or Toyota power plant,
VQ motors have been around for a while, chains usually start stretching around 300k. i had 2 Maximas back in the day.
@@dadgarage7966 I did replace the timing chains, tensioners, and water pump at 320,000 miles because I started hearing a slight rattling noise on start up, but when I got into the motor the chains were not excessively loose.I honestly think they were fine and it was a pulley bearing I was hearing. I finished the job anyway as preventative maintenance since the engine had high mileage. I did all the work myself and it was very labor intensive, but I saved over a thousand dollars doing it myself even with using all OEM parts. The van has ran great for over 100,000 miles since the repair. I own a business and this is my primary work van. I maintain it religiously.
These phone calls are highly entertaining. Maybe im bias because i'm a mechanic.
You're just trying to rip people off I'm sure an oil change and some Lucas would have fixed it! 😜
i found the phone calls very helpful honestly im somewhat new to this industry still and i fuckkng hate dealing w customers so watching how dave does it really helps out
Not a mechanic, just a tinkerer. Still very entertaining.
Phone call is exactly why i'll never take it to a shop. I'd rather buy a crate or tested used. in 20+ years of cars, only two times has a shop touched my cars. Warranty or recall work.
The Clint Eastwood of Mechanics, haha! This guy is a great man. May the Lord continue to bless him and his business!!!
CHANGE YOUR OIL PEOPLE! Dave doesn't want to see your engine in his shop like this one...
at least put oil in it!!??
@@heethen112 It was more of a PSA then anything
Yep Nissan motors should last 30 years without any problems if the oil is changed regularly and looked after
@@CruisinCapricein 30 yrs me and my dad will have 600k or more miles on an engine easy .. that comment is a lil exaggerated 😂
@@heethen112yep need oil the owner says they ran it dry
Nissan tech here. I’ve replaced short blocks on those engines for the rod knock issues. I’ve never seen one as bad as that. I bet that engine never had an oil change. They probably just kept topping it up
Hi, I have a 2019 V8. Would you say there reliable? I am aware of the cylinder #7 scoring on the newer models.
Timing cover will leak oil 👍 that’s for sure. And you don’t see too many of the cylinder scoring issues.
Man that TSB for cylinder 7 knock. Bruh… not a fun job hahah
@@jakemathers4137 Yeah they suck. Just another reason why I got out of that garbage trade.
@@rickfrey6944 It’s still possible that your v8 could develop that knocking issue. Nissan said they made updates to the short blocks but I’ve seen a few have it happen again. Just make sure you do your oil changes on time. Other common issues we’ve seen is upper oil pans leaking and timing covers leaking.
I'm 4 states away... I WANNA bring my car there!! Oil & fluids are your cheapest guarantee to a long vehicle life; DO THEM!!!
Love this channel!! Learning a lot!!!
mate 4 states away is a long way...just use the time to maintain your vehicle yourself...it's not that hard. oil changes, coolant flushes, brake checks. buy yourself a manual and look at videos. self taught guy here...
Me too !
Oil changes are cheap, engines are expensive
Omg @ 10:00, Dave you 100 percent correct. I remember as a child, if you were nearing 100k a new vehicle was almost necessary
Love your videos, I run a small golf cart repair shop and do tons of engine rebuilds mainly because of a lack of maintenance. You sound like me because I tell the customer we have to do an autopsy to give you an accurate estimate.
Right on
Thank you for the part about "They don't make them like they used to" I own modern vehicles and classics with carburetors and every time a friend says "I should get an old car" I lecture them about how much work they are. Yes, you can fix them yourself with hand tools if you know what you are doing but they will require constant maintenance and won't be reliable like modern automobiles or nearly as comfortable or economical.
As a retired powertrain engineer thank you for another great entertaining video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I really appreciate your professional approach, communicating with the customer. Good stuff, Dave.
I appreciate that!
Daves phone etiquette is amazing. Let the customer talk and then delivered what his plan was to fix it without disparaging the other shops or trying to make the customer feel stupid for anything. Really learned a lot from just the phone call alone lol
I hope that when you warranty an engine that if it comes back and it is full of sludge like this one was after 60,000 miles the warranty is voided. You can’t warranty an engine for abuse. You are good honest people.
That’s such a bummer. I have a 2010 VK56 Pathfinder with 160,000 miles. Regular oil changes and nothing has ever gone wrong with the engine. It’s been so solid.
A V8 Pathfinder? You’ve got a serious unicorn right there.
I’ve got an 08 Titan with 180,000 miles, I have always done regular maintenance and it is the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned.
@@Constabruity the armada around that era was called the pathfinder armada so not much of a unicorn just nissan stop using the pathfinder branding on the armada
@@ryen49 AFAIK, the Pathfinder Armada name was unique to 2004 models and abandoned thereafter in favor of just “Armada”. Nissan did slap the V8 in the smaller Pathfinder for a few years, but only made a few hundred examples. Pretty unique vehicle to find.
It's nice to see someone on RUclips use the product that they are promoting.
2009 Armada here pushing 160K on the old 5.6L V8. Used to do 3000mile changes. Switched to Amsoil in 2010 and religiously tested the oil.
Now doing 10000mile/annual oil changes and analysis showed that's the max life of that oil. 2024 and that engine still running strong and no mechanical issues.
I always say this every time. Its way cheaper and easier to change the oil , than an entire motor.
This statement can be applied to anything on a vehicle, Transmission, axle, transferase, coolant ect, and I drill this into anyone who I encounter with car issues.
I completely agree with you. I think people today have deliberate indifference to what maintenance needs to occur. Differential fluid is overlooked often... Transmission fluid is not lifetime.. coolant fluid is not lifetime... I'm sure I'm missing other fluids and components that should be serviced
Great people attract great people. I am proud to say that I work for a company that also does these things for their employees. I am nowhere near a mechanic, but I would absolutely trust this guy with my truck any day of the week just because he’s genuine, so cool Awesome job
That is awesome!
I think it’s awesome that you can spend time with your kid. Well he’s not a kid. He’s a grown man but it’s still awesome. Thanks for a video. Looking forward for the next one.
Absolutely!!
How it is stupid do not do oil change when required. Big bill for small saving. Dave, thanks sharing everything you are facing, it is so educative.
People so caught up driving like idiots on the road, they don’t check to make sure their shit box has maintained fluids
lol this is a good comment
Millions of cars every day. Zero maintenance
And this is why any time i get a used vehicle the first thing i do is throw seafoam or lucas in it and then change all the fluids and filters
I've never done an oil change on my car because I don't know how. I get it serviced and oil and oil filter is changed then. My dad lives in another state, and has some car ramps. Well, I've been watching Dave's videos a while and he's got me convinced I need to change more regularly. So dad's going to bring the ramos over and I'm going to have a go at a full oil and oil filter change. I have a service manual already, but need a tool to remove the filter I'll have the mechanic on stand by in case I bugger it up. Wish me luck!
When i change my oil I just stick a screwdriver through the filter to help me take it off lol. But mines a big diesel truck filter. Once you do it once or twice it's super easy
As long as you have space, use an oil filter plier. Nothing works better.
oil filter tool will make life easier. there are different tools out there. i like the wrap around type...
It’s easy.
I've recently started building a 7.3 after opening the motor out of my truck that I bought with it and it had a crack in the cylinder wall. All these videos really are making me even more aware than i already was of how important basic maintenance is.
This remined me I need an oil change so I just scheduled it for next Monday. I'll still be 3000 miles early according to what ford says.
Sad thing is, a lot of people don't even know how to check their oil let alone the importance of simple maintenance.
Thank you for elaborating about the whole "they don't make them like they used to"! I am SO glad they don't make them like they used to, vehicles last 2-3 times longer than they used to!
I really hope we keep following this motor. Show us everything. I love this stuff
👏 that's the best phone conversation informing the customer with great options 👌 and able to meet a budget in mind. I have been in the industry for a long time and hat's off on that phone call
That’s right señor Dave!!! You are absolutely right!!! I got 300 k out of my 1988 Chevy c1500 with a 3.4 v 6 engine with 5 speed manual transmission and I was doing oil changes with filters oil and air on a regular basis like every 3 k miles or near the 3k mile mark and I had a stroke and that was the end of the truck completely nobody else could drive it cause it was 5speed manual.. and I was severely injured and disabled so I had to put it on sale and it was a sad day for me when it was towed away 😢…that truck took me to work every single day sometimes seven days a week when I had two houses remodeling kitchen and bathrooms use to drive all over DFW and I think I drove an average of 90 miles a day just carrying my tools and materials like Sheetrock or boxes of tile but if I didn’t got ill I’m sure I was still driving that truck so I have been making my sons the good habit of doing maintenance oil changes on time replace air filters check everything and listen to your vehicle and fix the problem right away…and with honest mechanics like you there’s no drama everything will work just fine..Saudi’s!!! Love to watch your videos and God bless you for taking care of your workers and share your blessings with them is a great gesture of respect and appreciation I wish I was working for you…best boss in the business 👋😃👋Saludos!!!😊
Thanks for sharing your story. I pray you are recovering well from your stroke. Take care!
@@grumpyengg5978 Thank you so much for your kind words and your prayers!!!Blessings for you and your family!!!👋😃👋
Wow! That is an amazing look into engine damage from lack of oil changes! Thank you so much for sharing this kind of video!!
Our pleasure!
Dave, you’re right about the old engines and the tune ups and lack of longevity, BUT modern engines are overly complicated, not “just” to meet emissions and to be efficient, but the layouts are annoyingly complicated. Been working lately on a Mercedes diesel; lost of plastic and lots of complicated solutions.
Dave you are so true about what you don’t know. When I was an apprentice my teacher used to tell me ( What you know will fill books, what you don’t know will fill libraries)
Im a mechanic here in uk and i love people bringing me cars in to rebuild the engine because of no oil change they make me rich especially woman's i love your videos Dave
Damn, I was totally pulled in and wanted to see the results. Great to see a shop that can check a used motor like that.
Bought a new Toyota 4Runner, 2022… came with a 2 year free service deal. As a life long technician, I’ve seen enough young dudes on the lube rack, and the consequences thereof. Also, as an OLD tech, I have a 9000 lb twin post lift in my garage, and have done every oil change, 5000 miles apart. In my glovebox, I have every oil filter box flattened and rubber banded together, with date and mileage on them.
As a driver you are responsible, don't rely on a dealership to do your pre, post daily inspection.
I love our father son moments tearing down motors, we don't need to talk much we both know what we have to do and time flies while you are having fun! Gotta enjoy the good time during work with family just like outside of work, equally important.
So true!
This definitely makes it evident why Dave’s shop stands out from the rest
Had to replace the engine on my fathers 2011 Impala
Our budget wasn’t the best so we went with the lowest bidder
You would think that common sense says clean the replacement engine and check it for leaks and damages (simply bc the maintenance history is unknown)
Well don’t think that shop did that and I’m stuck with an engine that is leaking from somewhere and I am fed up with having to take it back and forth to the shop
Unfortunately for us we are in CA and budget wise we couldn’t make the trip to Dave’s shop to have them do the job
I’m simply going to try to cut my losses and sell the car to someone who has some mechanical expertise and fix the leak issue
Knock knock who’s there u know silly it’s Rod 😂😂
I can’t stop watching these videos. I’m going to run my 5.3 as long as possible, but when it goes she’s coming to you Dave!
We'd be honored. May she get many more miles👍
I worked at a dealership- flat rate techs hate oil changes and look for what pays hours. Youd also have to put a deposit of $1000-$2000 down to get started on engine or transmission work.
Dave, the production quality of this video is off-the-charts!!
Nostalgia is interesting. When I was in high school we got 60,000 miles out of a 1954 Merc until the engine needed rebuilt. Dad's old jeep required valve adjustment at 20,000 miles and had to grind the valves or engine rebuild at 40,000 miles.
Today's engines hold up well IF PEOPLE WILL JUST CHANGE THEIR DANG OIL.
Love that Engine tear down table set up.
I always put cardboard in front of A/C core to protect it from any damage.
Dave was Right On when he was talking about Engines from the 60s, 70s.
He has Personal Experience from working on the earlier engines and the issues they had.
Everything is so much better now if you follow the Recommended Service Intervals for components.
Not uncommon to work on vehicles with 200,000 miles or more.
My 2005 Maxima daily driver to work and back has 250,000 on it now, going for 300,000.
I love the videos Dave, but I will take a 300 ci Ford straight 6 over any small block built today. The main difference in engine longevity is the better quality oil that is more accessible today. It's like the man who kissed a cow, everyone to his own taste. Keep up the good work, God bless.
You bet! 👍
What a waste of time and money. Junk yard motor is a junkyard motor. Complete rebuild of the original motor is the way to go. Unless it is trashed and cracked. Just shows you lazy maintenance Lazy cheap customer. I am an Old boy machinist watching a true professional that tells the truth. It’s too bad in today’s age no one has faith in the professional.
Your dedication to a clean machine and auto repair shop just shows the Professional Standards and High Quality Service that you provide.
You are a true professional dedicated to helping your customers.
Guess you missed the end in which he purchased a salvage yard engine for it🤣
The customer was a poor fuck. He couldn't even afford the oil change. LOL
I would really like to work for a company like Dave’s shop
Always making all Tech feel appreciated and well taken care
That guy is an ideal customer. Man. All the bs. That calm and understanding
Yep, great guy👍🥲
Wow, Dave, I wouldn’t stick my head over the engine to observe the knocks, some loose parts might shot out from the engine and cause serious injuries. I’ll suggest putting a mic or recorder above it. Safety first! Very very nice content and love seeing your video. Thanks Dave! God blessed u!
Thanks for the tip 👍😊
My company has a fleet of about 20 of these vans for our service techs. We have yet to have any motor issues, most last to about 250,000 miles before we sell them off. The only issues we’ve had with these vans is the front ends need to be rebuilt around every 90k miles. Too bad they don’t make them anymore.
Simple oil changes and these things will run 400k miles without batting an eye. We had a Nissan NV2500 parts van for my Toyota dealer that had 400k miles on it before we pulled it out of service. This thing never owed us a dime. We only ever put exhaust and suspension/brakes on it. We only used mobile one oil for it 👌
Went to Utah this weekend and saw your shop! What a nice looking place. I love the videos. Keep it up.
Awesome! Thank you!
I believe from mechanics all over watching this RUclips channel will eventually change the game for the better.
Love this comment, that is a dream of mine. Thank you for watching, and being so generous.
Sad to say, this was common at my Nissan dealer. I've never had the pleasure of replacing a 5.6L, but I've seen dozens in my time there. It's ridiculous how many customers expected their service advisors to attempt goodwilling an engine, despite the lack of maintenance.
The 3.5L, 3.7L, and the 5.6L were the ones that were always getting neglected and destroyed.
Or are they pron to sludge?
As an automotive tech I have made it a 100% habit that if I open the hood of a customers car I check the oil level. I don’t care if I’m doing a massive job or a simple battery change, if the cars in my possession I check the oil level and recommend if it’s nasty but at the very least I will make sure it’s topped off before leaving. I never want someone’s motor to lock up after leaving the shop because I didn’t take 60 seconds to check the oil. You would be amazed at how often you pull a dipstick and it’s bone dry
Great service! That's what we like to hear 👏👏
Finally someone experienced who says that about “made like they used to” thats such bs modern equipment is far better, it just sucks to work on
I like how you reference an engine rebuild like open heart surgery
Thanks, I use a lot of Doctor references because I think it helps people understand when they can relate it to something like that. Thanks for watching our videos.
Again there will be comments saying they can't believe an engine failed only at 50k.
Again more comments misleading saying this is only cause l changed "only" at 3k. This isn't cause 3k, this is cause no changes.
No oil, miles don't matter
I like how thorough this shop is. I wish I could take my vehicles here to be serviced!
Thoroughly enjoy the conversations with the customers good or bad. Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Someone who's been doing this a long time will get a lot of knowledge and experience but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll have lots of WISDOM to go with it! Your comment about keeping the old headgaskets was pretty profound. I'm coming up on 15 years in the trade and am kinda embarrassed that I never thought to do that... I'll carefully place them on the block and inspect holes to make sure I've got it on the proper bank and orientation but could easily miss a minor design change... That's scary to think about... Thanks for offering the little tips/tricks/nuggets of information you throw in these videos. That's why I watch them.
dave..obviously a great mechanic...also a guy you really do not want to need to call...kinda like a heart surgeon...when you need one you want the top of the food chain
I love your work Dave keep it up It's nice to know somebody else out there truly cares You call them customers but they're your friends and you treat them as a friend and they will come back one big happy family God's children all of us
Nice!
What a shop man. There is food there for the guys when its lunch time. Love you man.
Keep doing what you doin
Thanks! Will do!
That's your dealer recommended 10,000 mile oil change intervals
More long videos, please! Love seeing honest and reputable work! Have a blessed day 😎👍
Will do!
A few years ago I trucked in and thru Utah a lot. I’m in Western Colorado (Silt).
Truck parking near SLC is hard to find. When I delivered Lowe’s from the Denver distribution center,to the SLC area, I discovered a Lowe’s in your neighborhood.
So I had a spot just down the street from your shop to park if I couldn’t make Brigham City or West Valley.
Between Lowe’s & Petco. There’s a 5 guys restaurant out front too😉
I agree Dave. A lot of people dont realize how well engines are made these days as long as you change the oil in them, theyll run 300,000 no problem.
Dave. After watching you vlog I’d trust you with my engine. I can only imagine the price on a rebuild but I would leave full of confidence in what was under my hood. Great info and very interesting.
You and your team are good mechanics keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Dave I love your flashlight! I have the same one on me at all times. Very handy in the shop, under a car or under the hood! The magnetic base has assisted me so much with transmission changes under vehicles
Right on
I'm a firm believer of using the same brand of oil and oil filter....
That's why I change my own oil every 5k miles
Huge respect to you my sir.. 20 years in the trade and I always say the same. Learning something new every day,like that cam advancing unit like BMWs vanos bs!
Just wanted to say that I thoroughly your videos. I also wanted to say thanks for the tip for the Just Meats website. We just placed our first order. Again thanks so much for your videos.
That is awesome!
The 5.6 V8 in the Titan and Armada from 2004 until about 2019 ish were one of the best motor and trans combo known to man. The rear diff on Titans would get hot and cook the fluid but throw a vented diff cover on and you were good to go. Ive been with Nissan since 1999 and all I can say is quality is not the same since around 2007 and the CVT trans. 2.5l had issues with the egrless system taking out cats and rings.
If I could have found a shop like this, I would have continued wrenching till I retired. Instead, I walked away in 1985. After 15 years at dealer, getting screwed at every turn, and battling the ever declining "flat rate" I bailed
One word. Professional! Quality work is not cheap and cheap work is far from quality
Done plenty of these short block rebuilds. 17-18s very few 19-20s all with scoring in the bank 1 cylinder walls
Wow Dave, amazing operation you have!
Many thanks!
Your wife is absolutely gorgeous AND she can cook!!!!
Hold on to her 😢
Dave's a lucky guy.
This man could work on a tonka truck and I’d still watch it haha love this channel
Man I wish we had a shop like this here. Seems like they go the extra mile for their customers and try to save them money while making sure they do a quality job.
After 210k miles, I finally decided to change the oil for the first time and its all because of you Dave. statistically, that is actually one of you viewers
9:56 I'm sure other people disagree with you as well but points and condensers are electrical issues. I think we can all agree that electronics has progressed much more than motor technology... Older engines used better metal and components than the plastic ones of today.
Totally agree! Just look what they can do with pure silicon! And one of my favorite activities is riding my electric unicycle, yes electronics have come a loooong way! Now we need a major battery density breakthrough!
@@steveo6034 I'm more of a diesel fan myself or perhaps diesel electric but.. let's not be crazy about electric batteries that go bad in a few years.
Older engines don't compare....told 302s and others wouldn't go 200k with only oil changes.
@@joshc606 longevity and quality of lubrication has changed dramatically. You can buy remanufactured and even new 302 engines today. I presume you're talking about the Ford 302/aka Windsor V8 which was produced all the way into 2000?
Love the channel! Subscribed two weeks ago and been hooked since. Currently going through a motor change out on my 21 sierra 6.2L as the motor gave out at 36k miles. I wish I was closer to Utah I’d definitely would have gone to your shop. Keep up the good videos Dave, we need more people like you in this world!
Welcome aboard!
Doing my oil change this weekend, Thanks for reminding me Dave.
Awesome to see a transparent shop and communication with customer. Thanks for the content and the nuggets of knowledge along the way!
Our pleasure!
This shop is amazing.
Dave, you probably remember the auto repair commercial with the tag line. “ You can pay me now, or you can pay me later”…. Basically pay up front for maintenance or pay more later.
The phone calls are real people !!! I was that person to call the customer . Sum understood an and sum were nightmares lol . There needs to be a RUclips channle for only customer phone calls on there machine or cars that would be an interesting fun channle 😂
I worked for an oil change place and had a girl drivin a 2yo Mustang GT with almost 30k miles on it without any oil changes. We had to change the oil twice.
Wow, Dave, that’s some work to get a reliable engine back in that. Wish I would have known about you a month ago. I have a 93 MX6 at a local shop to get fixed.
Makes me want to move to Utah and break my engine….
This is the kind of shop you don’t mind paying because you know it’s right
Love seeing how dave has top of the line equipment and how much he has continuously invested in his business definitely has a blessed operation life as a result and being upfront with the customer helps keep the word of mouth keeping the shop busy and much more with the RUclips channel
My 17 Titan just hit 125k, but It still runs brand new. I changed the oil every 3k. I'll admit I'm a bit abusive to it as well and it's still going strong.
This is such an interesting and intriguing channel to watch and listen to.
2018 van, imagine you do 3 oil change a year cost you $250 times 5 years total 1250. Now an engine probably around $5000 the numbers are not lying sadly
