    This morning my neighbors BMW X5 had a really bad squeaking sound coming from the front right suspension. I started spraying one thing at a time with WD-40 and moving it up and down by the fender. I started from the bottom at the control arms and bushings and worked up. I finally sprayed the top of the strut tower and viola, no more squeaking. Everything looks good as far as I can see, just have to see if it comes back. WD-40 works like a charm as a diagnostic tool. Thanks for all the info Scotty. I really like your channel.

I’ve had 3 of your videos help me out with small fixes that the shop was telling me was not gonna be worth doing to the car because of the year of the vehicle telling me $2000 for a cleaning of my valves and some type of flushing and watch some of your videos and solved the problem for $160!

      I have the opposite problem! The shops don't tell me what needs to be changed in my car, and when they do, I assume they are trying to rip me off. I then end up driving in an unsafe car that breaks, when doing the simple repair the shop suggested would have saved my vehicle and maybe my life.

    Don't spray WD-40 on bearings and grease points, that thing will dissolve and clear away the grease. It's not a great lubricant either, it'll evaporate fairly quickly. I use it to clean the chain, crank and cassette of my road bike to then lubricate it again using the appropriate oil, and also to clean wheel bearings when I'm rebuilding them.

    • @oz_medias
      @oz_medias 2 года назад +4

    Scotty, Great video again but I saw something that made me cringe; petroleum-based lubricants (like WD-40) eat away the rubber, causing the rubber to weaken and fail sooner than normal. Better to use a Teflon or Silicone base lubricants on rubber and other flexible seals.

    Good video ! i Love Wd-40 ! i Have been using it since 1979 or earlier. its awesome to keep stuff from rusting. i used it on Kawasaki Jet skis at a dealership i worked at as a young mechanic. It was a God send to taking Saltwater jetskis apart. i used to Spray the Entire Boat Down from Bow to stern inside & outside. No Salt deposits ever ! Engines come apart easy ! i would use Gallons of the stuff. spray entire engines down. Wonderful stuff ! after 10 years of spraying down the same ski , metal was impregnated with Wd-40. Not one sign of Rust ever on a Salt water jet ski. One thing though , Do NOT spray at a Greasy area that is supposed to keep grease there. it WILL Wash away & dissolve grease from Ball joints. Do NOT SPRAY Directly into a Ball Joint, it could ruin it. Its Great For Doors in your House that squeak , spray on squeaky hinges , Front door where u put the Key in. Works Wonderfully ! Door Hinges in car doors, Spray in Key hole in door. Works awesome. a few blasts in door key hole ,put key in and out , a few more blasts , and key goes in & out like a dream. Enjoy !

    Wd40 is just as great as everyone seems to make it. My dad, grandad, and according to his dad all called it mechanics gold. Havent been working on cars long but can confirm, Wd40 is useful at almost every situation.

    Never Ever spray petroleum based products like WD-40 on rubber, use a silicon spray instead. For electrical or electronic connectors spray any electronic contact cleaner first wait until it dries then apply silicon paste or any dielectric grease of your choice to keep the connector clean, rust free and water proof. Just my 2 cents!

      I recently degreased an engine with Tyre foam and compressed air. The tyre foam conditions the plastic and rubber components and doesn't damage any electrical contacts. Makes the engine bay look good pre-sale!

    Interesting. I'm pretty sure years ago WD-40 used butane for propellant. I knew mechanics that used it as starting fluid for diesels and malfunctioning outboards. Your demo explains why I couldn't get a small engine to even cough the last time I tried to use WD-40 to give it a kick.

    Yessir! Rocket Chemical of San Diego got their water dispersant right on the 40th try. The salt air in the coastal area was a great testing ground. The aerospace industry jumped on the stuff and it proved its worth over time. When I was an Assistant Manager at a tool and implement store I always asked the new hires ( youngsters ) if the knew what WD-40 stood for. Ten percent got it right. They got the gold stars.

    I was watching one of your videos yesterday and saw you tapping on the dash to get the heater fan to start working for a little while longer. Anyways, today when I started my car, the dash lights were off and wouldn't come on. So, I drove to work and got the job done and on my way home it was eerie driving with no gauges. For some reason I remembered you smacking the dash, and I thought what the hell, it's worth a try. I lightly tapped at first and they flickered. I tapped again and the right side came on. Then started tapping the left side and it came on, but then the right side went out again. I continued tapping until they were back on again. Anyways, thanks for the idea 😊

  • @zaradiyel
    @zaradiyel 3 года назад +6

    For electrical items better use Contact Cleaner which doesn't leave a sheen of oil. WD-40 is also acting as a lubricant so it'll leave some oil behind which would reduce the insulation between electrical parts.

  • @joevignolor4u949
    @joevignolor4u949 4 года назад +6

    WD-40 is good for door hinges and also hood, trunk and rear hatch hinges. If you spray the hinges periodically it prevents them from squeaking when you open and close the door and it prevents the hinges from wearing out prematurely to where the door can become loose and not close correctly. Also, periodically spray it into door locks and the ignition switch to keep them from wearing out or sticking.

    • @TheSimoc
      @TheSimoc Год назад

      While better than nothing for hinges, WD-40 is actually notoriously bad lubricant in long term. It initially lubricates indeed, but it soon dries up into rather non-lubricating gunk. It is not that much an issue in hinges and other parts that are not anyhow prone to sticking, but in lock cylinders for example, where small parts should be able to move by relatively weak spring forces, or in spring-loaded electrical contacts, WD-40 usually causes more problems than it solves.
      Its intended usage is to repel moisture and initially lubricate to unstick stuck parts, where it works well with its good penetrating properties. It also makes good corrosion protection, and is alright in installations not moving in normal operation, such as bolts and nuts, and screw or crimp electrical joints.
      But in mechanisms moving in normal operation, you need a better lubricant. Multi-purpose oils, silicon oils, greases, and purpose-specific lubricants are the proper choices, depending on purpose.

  • @winchestermodel7044
    @winchestermodel7044 4 года назад +33

    WD40 is highly flammable without the straw inserted into the nozzle. As a kid I used to use a lighter and make a blow torch with it. I assume it’s because it’s more of a liquid with the straw in it as opposed to an aerosol without the straw.

    • @davidjames666
      @davidjames666 4 года назад

      I once sprayed it into the motor of my pos phantom vacuum. Well, wouldn't you know.... The exhaust of my phantom looked like the flaming exhaust of the bat mobile. I recall the flame shooting out the back was about 4 feet long. I think Scotty better take that statement back or clarify before someone gets hurt

    • @Sylvan_dB
      @Sylvan_dB 4 года назад +2

      Probably more aerosol, but also in the old days WD-40 used propane as a propellant in the cans. That was a lot more flammable than today's mix.

    Great video, Scotty, but doesn't the oil get everywhere when you're looking for vacuum leaks? Won't that collect dirt? Could over-spray also cause nuts and bolts to come loose? Used sparingly and with the tube, maybe it's fine. Good point about getting it on the fan belt!

    OK- I had to research this because back in the 80's WD-40 was definitely flammable. I know this because when I was in college we used to torch the roaches in our apartment with WD-40 in ceremonial fashion, and it used to come out like a flame thrower. After researching a bit, I discovered they did change the propellant from liquified petroleum gas to CO2 to reduce flammability. Great channel Scotty - I know little (if anything) about cars, I'm just here for the entertainment value!

  • @Sylvan_dB
    @Sylvan_dB 4 года назад +3

    When trying to pinpoint a suspension noise with WD-40, spray 1/2 the things you are unsure about.
    You might start by spraying the left side. If the noise goes away, wait until it comes back then spray 1/2 the left side. If the noise does not go away, you know it is in the other half of the left side. So spray half of the half. Etc.
