      the more detailed and updatable the scanner the more you can diagnose and diy. From the ones I tried and have now a $150 ish and up are pretty darn good nowdays. From there from what I seen and experienced so far. There was a couple times I had to borrow one to track down a SRS issue which mine couldn’t read exactly what it was and it tracked down to the seatbelt buckle sensor which was awesome, I was hours looking into and testing because I thought I knew what it was but finally asked to borrow it. The other time was regarding abs and it was able to tell me exactly what and where (driver rear , speed sensor. I forgot what mine read but it wasn’t that detailed so it saved me time.
      That was a $2000+ scanner tho I wonder if there is a $300ish scanner that would have pinpointed exactly where and what it was exactly like that?
      If so heck yah it’s worth it and will pay itself off. ($300 to even $500/700 I would pay) $2000+ however I wouldn’t go that far , luckily I have access to one. I’m sure I saved at least $200-400 just on those two issues alone if I had to drop it off at the dealer etc. Definitely having a decent $75-200 one will easily pay for itself after one or two uses 👍🏽. Unless you’re lucky and have a vehicle that never needs one. The wife’s FJ we had since new 2006 and never ever had an issue yet 🤷🏽‍♂️, knock on wood. Had relatively good luck with most of our vehicles I like to mod my vehicles lol so that’s where it comes in handy too 😜

    My experience with the mass air flow sensor. I had a K&N filter, thinking, "Get the best for my truck. Well, after a while of running it, I got a check engine light. Couldn't figure it out myself and called my mechanic. He asked me a couple of questions, and when he asked when I last changed my air filter. I told him 5 months ago, and I spent the money on the K&N. He told me that they have figured out that the oil coming of the filter is coating the MA flow sensor. All I needed to do is get the special cleaner for it and clear the code, and I should be fine. He was right, but the problem is I had to do that every 5 to 7 months, depending on how much I was driving. After the third time, I cried wolf and took the whole K&N air filter system off. Put stock back on and didn't have any more troubles.

      Former tech here. We luuuuuved check engine light on, MAF code, and there's the KN. Sometimes cleaning worked, sometimes not. And advised the customer to find their old filter and housing. PS a properly oiled filter won't make a mess and 90% of KN we saw were never oiled ever.

    • @roberthein2156
      @roberthein2156 17 дней назад +1

      Had a KNM filter in my car for at least six years. Never had the mass ear sensor clog up pretty oil. All I can assume is you’re putting too much oil onto that filter you only need enough to coat the filter not soak the filter.

    • @19Silver67
      @19Silver67 17 дней назад

      @roberthein2156 nope! Started after installation. So I thought like you did. May factory put too much oil on it . I cleaned it and reapplied the oil, and 6 months later did the same thing. Called my friend that is a performance mechanic and he said this is a very common thing with those filters. Tried the 3rd time, and it happened again. Gave up and put factory back on.

    • @toytech1679
      @toytech1679 12 дней назад +1

      Here's the real truth with those filters. They let more airflow into your engine, which is where the supposed added horse power comes from. If it allows more air, then it allows more debris. The oiling of the filter "helps" filter the debris. So if your getting oil on your sensor, then guess what else is getting through. Long term use will shorten the life of your rings. The trade off, dollar wise is well NOT worth it. Stick with the factory filter. Oh yeah, I'm a retired professional mechanic with 45 years experience and have seen this many many times.

How much self-repair do I have to do before I can stop saying "Well... I'm not really a 'car' person but..." ??? I just talked to a new mechanic (had to move and find a new local shop), and armed with knowledge I gained from this channel I swear I was passing for a 'car person' 😀. The stuff I learned from you got me the most honest service I've ever had, and I felt super confident at the shop. The mechanic responded to me as if he understood that I knew what I was looking for (needed some specific transmission work on a Mazda) and everything was done and I got a great deal. Thanks for all of this.

      It depends on driving conditions. Short trips with lots of stop and go are substantially harder on the oil, highway and interstate driving with a lot of steady speeds, moderate rpms, your oil will last 5K easily, especially if it's synthetic oil with a good filter.

      Brother s 65 Olds went over 300,000, Mom’s Olds, over 249,000. My Oldses are still running, 2 1983/s and 2 1985/s. Why? Frequent oil changes. I’ve since sold them, as they were rust buckets, only the bodies rotted and failed. Mechanically all solid. And still on the road with new owners. Current 05 Vue at 264,000. Frequent oil changes and TopTier Premium fuel.

      The four cars I’m responsible for maintaining all take 5w-30. Run Mobil 1 synthetic with the matching oil filter in all of them. Change it out every 3,000. It’s already dirty at that point. Yes, it costs accordingly, but it’s been worth it, with zero motor issues in all four.

    My favorite work truck, 2001 Duramax 2500 had a K and N air filter when I purchased the truck. Ten miles per gallon around town (very light in the accelerator). Couldn’t sleep one night last week so I found a stock air filter and supporting parts in my backyard. After running stock air filter my fuel mileage has skyrocketed! Earning 16 mpg around town, guessing 18 or 19 on hiway. So refreshing to have a positive change in general.

    The best products I’ve found is made by HYDROTEX in Texas I used to own semi’s and one had a 3406 360 hp CAT engine . At 750,000 miles I took it to CAT in Pittsburgh Pa for an overhaul, when the mechanic took off the oil pan , they couldn’t believe how clean it was an almost no wear on the bearings so we decided to put it back together and run it till it dies. Don’t know when that happened because I ran it a couple of more years and traded it in on a new truck with a 3408 , 450 hp .

    After the carbon flush on git they should put six ounces of marvel mystery oil at every oil change in my opinion. I just like it I been using it for 45 years in All my Engines and tell everybody who will listen I learned About it from a Great Mechanic and race engine builder and race car driver who Dominated the Dirt tracks in Louisiana for 30 Years. And we never had any sludge build up. But the trick is to use the Carbon flush you used about every 50,000 miles and flush your injections system the same 50,000 and Change your platinum plugs at every 50,000 cause they wear out. By breaking down metallurgy molecular. Proven. Cause my partner was crazy about his truck staying in tune.

      It disolves varnish and gum which can lead to sticking of lifters and piston rings.
      This is a quote that is fact. I've seen the results.
      Rislone Engine Treatment gradually dissolves and removes harmful deposits of varnish, sludge and gum from the internal metal parts without plugging oil passages. These deposits form within engines and can alter tolerances, stick valves and rings, cause noisy valves and lifters, and plug oil screens and passages.
      And my dad showed me some pretty nasty looking valve trains and nearly clogged oil passages.
      If you use it change your oil soon.

    Scotty, my dad bought a mid 90s Mustang that he called me about. Seems he got a 12 cylinder(I explained how the intake runners worked) so even
    though he counted 12 runners it was actually a 6 cylinder. He next told me he had to get rid of it because it ran " sewing machine oil " which after reading the article in MotorTrend about lightweight oils that myth was desposed of. And yes it is made to run over 200 degrees to help emissions so stop putting water on the engine at 180 because it is not overheating.
