Scotty Kilmer where can I purchase a “common sense” you forgot to add a link to this one ;)
i use 50% kerosene and 50%petrol to clean my cars injectors plus it dissolves the carbon
Did the bosses at youtube finally force you to post this?
I always thought common sense should be number 1

I have been a mechanic for 24 years this man's word is gospel!
Wow!!! and second opinion too.😍
The man spits sermons with holy grace on car fixes
Ford Cmax 2.0 2011... To clean or not to clean .... is the question 😃
Diesel
Scotty is the guru of vehicles
What about techron?
I used the Gummout additive for 3 tank fulls and noticed a huge difference in fuel economy and performance. It also fixed an intermittent rough idle during cold startup. Thanks for your help Scotty!
I have a cold start up on my 300 what are the chances of this being the problem n this helps me with that ? My rpm raised to 1 rpm for a min then once a lil more warm drops between 0 and 1
This is normal.
How much was gummout? How much did you save?😂
I half tanked it and added 3 bottles it worked wonders
3 bottles or 3 tank fulls back to back?
I’m 25 years old and don’t even have half of the energy you bring to this world. Keep on keeping on brother! Thanks for all the tips!
Great product bg44 k platinum
How does it feel to be thirty or just about? I turned 25 this year haha.
@@yslbaker You'll feel it when 26 starts creeping around the corner
Try 71 yrs of age and I still work on my car
I love how every sentence you're in a different location lol

Scotty is omnipresent
That's how he Makes America Great Again
😂😂😂😂
Scotty Kilmer..come for the goof, stay for the truth.
bravo11x h
LOL ROFL.
Yes, He is GOOD.
truth? bro, this video was paid for by gumout lmfao
Who cares if it was sponsored? Is the man not entitled to put food on his table?
Spanqwire Good Point.
Was having terrible fuel mileage issues in my 2016 Kia Sorento Turbo GDI. Slow lagging up hills. On the highway around 70 I’d get loss of power couldn’t accelerate tried other cleaners came here to Scotty tried Gumout…got power back almost immediately! Scotty you saved me time and money! Easiest subscribe like and notification follow I’ve ever decided to give! Your a Godsend!
Scotty has a masters degree in engineering and 50 years of experience. Unless you are Scotty, your opinion is invalid.
Scotty has enough experience tho lol. Unless if the engineer is actually doing research and testing products they really wouldn't know either 🤷♂️
scotty has a piece of paper and 1 brain full of its particular peculiarities
Good to know
Scotty, I tried out this stuff and it works great. I got a lot of power back in my 2005 chevy equinox. Thanks for your time and awesome videos. Keep them coming!!!
"You don't have to buy a real expensive one. You can get 'em for 80 or 90 bucks these days. They're all made in China." I love this guy. He could be doing TV commercials.
+sickb2200 he used to have a tv show look it up
+Alex Parkes What's the TV show!?
+Rusty Shackleford not sure but you can find it on youtube just look up Scotty kilmer tv show, its a little older so the quality is not that good
+sickb2200
He just did one for Gumout! LOL
Still if those were real results you gotta give it up to em.
My parts store tried hard to sell me on SeaFoam recently and that crap is expensive. I bought a different injector cleaner. Not Gumout though, should have watched this first.
Michael Bellinger no he did have one on tv
I use Seafoam on my Truck and the stuff is the best!!
Tried all the other cleaners but Seafoam is the best period! I can pour into the oil before an oil change, suck in into the suction line, or just simply add it to the gas.
That stuff has my truck running so smooth, the engine feels like new!!
My truck runs like its brand new engine when I put seafoam
I've used Lucas Oil's in the past and it seems to work pretty good.
God... Scotty is a national treasure! Love this guy.
Scotty you should be my next door neighbor lol...I have to say a silent prayer everytime i go to crank my car up, would be nice to have someone with knowledge about cars to tell me what i need to do.
TampaOutlaw 🙃🙃
NeATaNDtURdy check out BG44K it's a much better product.
TampaOutlaw you be broke...
TampaOutlaw i meant you be without cash if you took to your car very often . im sure he isnt the cheap kind, he charges for knowledge.
Alucardjr69 Oh ok now I see what you meant, my apologies but yeah I never thought about that, I would assume He'll charge a arm and a leg.
Well i tried this stuff...helped so much with rough idling
i have an integra gsr and my idle is a bit rough too. im gonna try it
Joe branch real talk or what? I tried Lucas today, bought it at pep boys, drove 1.5-2miles home, the lady said put it in before filling up but I just poured it on in. Should I really try that stuff out?
@@jordanrieser2703 don't see what harm fuel additives will do, I use it once in a while since it doesn't even cost that much
@@MrRohanThomas 6 month update, I use them after every oil change now.
@@DavidTeleiosis I got an L.s with evap codes...did alot for it to come off and hope cleaning this injectors helps! The evap code makes my car throw misfires too...but did all what I can do for it to come off!...smfh...integra are good cars but lil things like this is a pain...hope this stuff works
2001 Chevy 1-ton dually that mostly sits at home (less than 18K on the odo). Was running rough with terrible exhaust stench at idle. Ran a few tanks of fresh gas through it, no improvement. Changed plugs, 75% improvement. Tried the Gumout you suggested, runs perfect now after only one tank, and the exhaust stench is gone. Thanks, Scotty!
Hey Scotty just watched this video of yours that's 4 years old, I'm a new subscriber of yours, I'm already doing different, effective things to my car thanks to you, I already love ya man!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Hey will it hurt if I made a mistake and filled up the gas tank first then put some of the fuel injector cleaner in you guys
What a legend. I've never seen nor heard such sound common sense. His advice and comments most appreciated - sincere thanks.
Wow! That stuff really made a difference! Thank you
1:55 I too, have a modern car with direct injection just like a 1995 Toyota Celica with a distributor cap!
I'm cracking up at that brand new piston though. 😂😂😂
It's actually gumout not seafoam, but yeah not even a scratch on the cylinder wall
Doesnt look like same piston.
No way....its very hard to de-carbon a piston the carbon been baked on for thousands of miles and years. That looks brand new like no carbon has ever been on it. Nothing on the market cleans this good.
Zaid Mousa it wasn’t seafoam dummy! Watch the whole video!
I caught that to from a duel cam to a single cam
I still have an opinion on Seafoam. My grandma recently passed away. I got her car, a '91 Taurus. It ran real sluggish, she would only drive it to town about 5 miles away at 40-50 mph, couple times a week for groceries & church. I filled it up poured a can of seafoam drove it home, approx 430 miles home at 70 mph. It runs like scaled ape now. Btw she kept VERY meticulous maint & records. Probably one of the best running 24 yr old cars on the road
Bitchin!!
Jason Rushing i agree seafoam is the only thing that works. Everything else is snake oil.
In fuel or air intake?
Jason Rushing But on the other hand, you most likely floored it when you got it blowing out a lot of the carbon build up which helped it run better.
"scaled ape" I would say his car is less hairy or its glowing red because its burning its self out
Seafoam still works, I used it 2 days ago, made a noticeable difference in the car idling
+Sandy Glascock I have seen several reviews that show it actually does remove some carbon deposits.
Seafoam is too tangential for the high cosine.
+Bobby0345 I have seen non sponsored videos that say sea foam works better than others including gumout
Try looking at ChrisFix's review of seafoam. Worked good for me
Sandy Glascock Yes more power did you know thay put a little car speed go fast in it 😎
Great video man I especially like how you actually provided evidence that the product you used cleaned the engine out, so easy for companies to sell snake oil, not saying it’s definitive proof the product worked, but definately better than just saying “I used this and it made my car more better” =)
I watched one of scotty’s videos..... now I can’t stop watching
great video as always, in addition to having the nitrogen in their gas at the shell gas station, their premium also contains NO ethanol...which is great for motorcycles, especially if you plan on storing them and not riding for the winter.
Bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits
Well Scotty, I have to say thank you and I appreciate you! the time you take to educate everyone is awesome! I grew up wrenching on cars, trucks and motorcycles with my old man (he kinda ran a what you would call a drive thru "chop" shop lol) mainly to custom build hot rods and Harley's. but anyways, I'm 40 years old and battling c.t.e. but of everything I've forgotten over the years, I can still wrench with my eyes closed, however I still forget simple things that I should know, as far as old school tricks that even work on more modern vehicles. So I thank you for having these videos to spark those reminders in the back of my head! once again, thank you for all of your hard work and time!
Bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits
scotty, your 10second Rev Mustang Intros are Legend
I was skeptical, but I was having issues with my 2010 Pontiac vibe having intermittent starting issues with it just cranking up and not starting right away. After running just one Tank full of the Gumout Multi-system Tune-up, now it fires right up every time. I'm a believer. The stuff works.
Scotty can you do a video on the effectiveness of cleaners on fuel injectors and not just on pistons?
pedro fernandez it is obvious that, if the cleaner can clean carbon residues on piston, it will definitely clean the small passages of injectors
I like your quick, punchy American style
I'm close to being a Canadian. Niagara Falls, but on the south side, not the north. but really, canadians are generally very nice people, I went to school in Toronto donkey ages ago. Then I went to school at the University of Illinois, where people were much less friendly, especially the professors who tended to be snobs for no good reason. Heck, Eintstein was no snob and he had reasons to be. Those clowns just thought they were big cheeses when in reality they were blown up high school teachers with an attitude. that pretty much turned me off of becoming one and I went back to machines which made more sense to me. Machines act logically.
thanks , although I never been over the pond it still meets up to my experiences on the internet, whether it was on a comment basis on youtube or in forums having discussions with people.
And hey I have a problem on my car I can't explain myself. I have a car form the 90s which has an old OHV engine which dates back to 1955 so far so good, the valve cover gasket was leaking oil so I changed it, because it was too much for a sealer, all is bone dry know, only the connection to the transmission is a bit wet, but now I have another problem, it started smoking blue smoke when starting it up from cold, after I changed the gasket, it runs normal and starts better than ever, only max speed is slightly lower now. Haven't done a compression test yet, but where's the connection between both of those things, as it started smoking blue as I changed the gasket
Scotty Kilmer I don't know if Scott will ever see my message .
Will "Gumout multi system" also clean my injectors and valves?? or do I need to get something separate for that ?
Giovani22 check out BG44k fuel system cleaner. Best on the market. Endorsed by top mechanics. . Google BG44 gasoline products. You can get it on eBay or Amazon for about $20.00 free shipping. Also check Autozone Napa or Advanced auto parts. They make BG244 for diesels.
I went to UIUC. Right on, Mr. Kilmer!
dude that test was the real deal..... wow.... I learned something today ......thanks Scotty
Since no fuel washes over the valves in a DI engine, doubt this would help de-carbon the intake valves on said engine. But it might be good for the injectors and combustion chamber. Probably works better with port injected motors overall.
I stumbled onto one of Scotty's videos and decided to click on it. Then I clicked on another..and another, now I'm binge-watching Scotty videos! I've learned more than I'll ever learn about cars!
Mr. Killmer you are the automobile GodFather. Thank you
Use Techron concentrated. Walmart has them for like 4$. A reputable shop in my area uses it on all the cars they tune up and works wonders
Dam...been using sea foam in all my gas powered engines for years. Will have to listen to Scotty now!
Always wondered about Seafoam! The last time I bought it will be the last time I buy it. Gumout for me from now on. Thanks Scotty!
02:25 he read my mind exactly what I was thinking!
Had some valve tick for about 40 seconds every start up.
Did an oil and filter change and slapped in gumout in both the oil and fuel tank. Since then not a single tick and definitely better performance and response
2007 dodge caliber rt
I switched to gumout from seafoam. I use I can after every oil change. Thanks for the video.
If I had haft the energy of this guy on a regular Monday morning, I'd be one happy camper.
Get up an do something you Love.
Scotty, I have a '02 Jetta 2.0 that was sluggish. I was always a firm believer in Seafoam until I watched this video. So, I bought 2 cans of Gumout 1 for the Jetta and 1 for my '97 Ram and filled the Jetta with BP Gas and the Ram with Hess Gas being it runs better with it. Wow, I'm impressed with the results! A week later the Jetta drive like it just came off the showroom floor and the 318 Ram found some horses it hasn't seen since the early 2000's. I just want to thank you for all the informative, interesting, and money saving advice you give.

Be careful of that BP piss gas!! remember what they did to wildlife, and "knowingly" selling Bad Gas a few years back, and they had to pay all the owners of the cars for blown engines!!
Get a clue....the only reason they ruined wildlife was because the guvment made them drill in deep water instead of 300 feet where it was much safer. And as for the cheap BP gas....here in Florida anyway it does not have ethanol. Boater's Choice.
Thank you thank you for this Sir Kilmer. regards, Canada. I actually forgot about this to-do list for 2 years now.
Hell. Thanks Scotty. Used to be a car guy, have been focusing on work and my new career, however, I have a lot of time off and an old 04 F150 4.6l 2v 2wd that I just pulled out the garage. Ol' girl is going to get some lovin' now !!
you're the first mechanic I've seen that isn't calling every single additive snake oil

Just visit Scotty Kilmer Channel... Before I start to watch Scotty Kilmer Channel, I didn't even know what inside the hood. Now, I start to fix my own car.... Thanks Mr. Scotty...
"They are all made in CHINA!" LMAO You deserve a show on TV! More Entertaining than anything I've watched in years! KEEP ON TRUCKIN' W/VIDEOS!
Scotty Kilmer, the only guy in history to be able to take out a spark plug with two cranks on a socket wrench.
he's the chuck norris of car repair.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's Tyson with the old one-two finishing up with an uppercut
Wow that’s a huge difference. I just bought some since my Honda just reached 210,000 miles.
Thank You Mr.Scotty Kilmer! I went based on your suggestion and my 85’ Buick Riviera feels completely different after adding the Gummout treatment. My vehicle is carbureted so it’s set up based on gasoline from over 30yrs Ago! Thanks again.
Great product bg44 k platinum
Good info thanks
Glad you made this video! I’ve been using a bottle of seafoam ever 2-3 tank fulls. Didn’t know it was made for old 2strokes!
1. I used Gumout and it worked. 2. Being an old guy (used to in-line - not in the gas tank fuel filters), I ordered a Toyota fuel filter for my 2004 Avalon a couple of years ago. It came, and I put it aside. Last week, I decided to do the online research and found that in the manual, it was supposed in the gas tank. However, it wasn't. In fact, I took the car to my regular mechanic, we examined the part and the car, it was inline. 3. Couple of thoughts. When I finally had the 90,000 mile overhaul done, we went beyond the recommended, replacing the spark plugs (keeping the good ones) and the fuel injectors because one had gone bad (keeping the good ones). My kid's Avalon had 250,000 miles on it when he gave it up last month rather than register it for another year.
I’ve been using Lucas 3x octane boost in my 03’ ES300. It breathed new life in the engine and it runs a lot smoother.
Holy shit that stuffed worked like hell fire. I think ChrisFix needs to try that stuff, I want to see the results on one more car to make sure its legit
Chris Porter did Chris fix use some gum out ?
Sheldon Cooper he didnt use the muti system cleaner like the one scott using.
@Tyrion the one Scott is using has better cleaning power than the one Chris used
Gee wiz Scotty I'm sure that seafoam has been updated since back then. I have always had improved driving after using seafoam
It has been updated but it does not include the chemical PEA which is what these new cleaners like Gumout contain
I run a can of this Gumout with every oil change in our SAAB 93 AERO V6, cleans well and removes a lot of the moisture our car doesn't car for that comes with today's ethanol fuels. Now my FJ Cruiser gets it along with my motorcycles. Great stuff Scotty!
Spraying water into the intake manifold while revving it up works the best it's instant cleaned don't have to wait 500 miles for the work slowly if you've ever pulled a head with a blown gasket you'll see that it's been steam cleaned perfectly.!!!
I love this channel humor and common sense plus knowledge 👍👍👍
Jim phillips Google.com. Been Testing Oil LS1 interesting. I've been doing it for over two years. Marine outboard two cycle TCW3 oil in your gasoline. Works great
Thanks for this video. I'm looking for some answers on this subject and you helped me.
PS: Your videos are very dynamic and you even manage to be entertaining somehow. Just take care a bit more of the sound and this chanel will become famous in auto world ;) (it's just an advice)
I changed from using Techron cleaner to the Gumout cleaner with PEA in it (the can looks different that what Scotty shows in this video, but is apparently the same thing). My fuel economy improved, and this was over 1,500 miles of testing, by 0.9 mpg, a large increase. Hard to fight data.
Great product bg44 k platinum
In my experience, my 300 d 86 ran well with regular diesel but since I started using additives: OMG It runs smooth, you can feel and hear the difference. Additives are a game-changer
Hi Scotty I’ve always been sceptical of those additives but you have made me feel better as I regularly use them. I don’t believe in spending a lot of money on new cars. I never pay more than a few grand and I manage to find good low klm cars. I do my own repairs keep oil changes up to them and I get 5 to 10 years out of them. I only found your channel recently because I’ve only just started watching RUclips ( computer illiterate) You have helped me out a few times confirming what I thought. Thank you and greetings from Australia.
That second picture is a brand new piston. No car on the road today has pistons that clean.
Scotty how much did you get from gumout ?
That Gumout stuff (with the PEA) actually works. I've run it through two different modern cars. One car I ran it through two tanks of fuel and the other through three tanks of fuel. I can tell a difference in idling, acceleration, and power. It seems to clean things up. After three tanks on my current daily driver, the engine is running better than when I first got the car a few years back. On the other car, after just one tank, the idle became a lot smoother. I like the stuff so much I will continue using it unless I find a legitimate reason to stop using it. It costs about $10 where I live and one can does two tanks, so $5 extra dollars a month (about how long it takes me to run through a ten gallon tank) is well worth it for the better performance.
No lie Scotty I watch a lot of your videos and gain a lot of valuable information.
Hey bub do u like lucas injector cleaner? It seems to work...
0:45 best parking job
i used Gum-out once on my 05 Camry with 150k miles. It worked so well that it cleaned out the buildup around my gaskets, and soon had massive oil leaks from those gaskets.. Was a costly repair. I should never have used it. imo.
I purchased a 1988 Winnebago with a P30 chassis and a Chevrolet 7.4L 454. It had a loud ticking sound at first acceleration. For the past 7 months I have been using Marvel's Mystery Oil in the gas tank and in the crankcase per their recommendations. No more ticking and it goes really well. It has 92k miles on it and it runs as smooth as a Corvette. David 🐈🚀
When your girlfriend says lock the door 0:01
How do additives work on GDI engines as they never enter the intake manifold. We need something to clean the valves
Amsoil power foam or runrite sledgehammer aersol can
On the can, it says that it cleans the injectors.
I really like your videos, your attitude and your personality. It is either "anti-corrosion" or it is "corrosion inhibitors". If you have "anti-corrosion inhibitors" you'd have something that inhibits anti-corrosion.
WOW! Nothin beats a before and after picture! Thanks Scotty!
I had no idea that Julian Lennon was also a mechanic and car enthusiast and has his own RUclips channel
No, that's Geddy Lee from Rush.
Hahaha, good ones guys. He does kinda look like them. Probably a lot more like Julian Lennon than Geddy Lee.
Wow, imagine
Wheels go round and round.
I was thinking a little like Dennis Hopper myself
I have a feeling that this video might have been sponsored by Gumout :/
Hey Guys!!! I'm Scotty Kilmer and I'll stand behind your cats shit!!!!! If the price is right...... Quacks
+questionur world that picture of the before and after was rediculus lol!!!
it may be sponsored but gumout works really well, the kind he's using anyway not the real cheap ones
The before picture looks like it been running for 50k miles minimum, the after picture is ridiculously cleaned and judging by many of Chrisfix video, no other cleaning stuff would yield same result, Scotty is misleading people who are looking this video.
xi yuan Zhang cleaning the fuel system and injectors is 99% of the the battle. If not the engine just gets dirty again. Most regular grade gas is good for about 10 days. if you don't empty the tank once a week that's when you may need additional cleaners.
People are saying that the after pic is from a different car. But i just read in the comments here Scotty said the after is from three bottles and a period of time. I 100% believe it.
I have a 1999 Ford F150 with 215,000 miles on it. I've owned it since 130,000. I've noticed declining gas mileage and uneven acceleration over the past few thousand miles. I never believed in additives as no mechanics I know believe in them either. Something had to be done though, as the decline was very real. I tried a couple bottles of Chevron Techron with no noticeable results. I decided to give Scotty's advice a try after watching this. I used Gumout All-in-one 10 oz because it treats up to 35 gallons, so one bottle would do it for me. The first bottle gave me an extra 40 miles out of my tank of fuel. As for the uneven acceleration I thought it might be time for plugs. I decided to use the product shown in this video and used it with the vacuum hose induction method, hot soak, etc. The product shown in this video used the way I described made my acceleration even and consistent again. Scotty's on to something here, I was unaware of PEA before watching this video. Great advice, Scotty Kilmer. Thanks.
I haven't seen or read anything about that BG44K cleaner. It's rather expensive on Ebay.... about twice as expensive as Chevron Techron. It's not in my local Advance Auto parts stores. A bus mechanic friend of mine says it's the best fuel system cleaner there is.
Your bus mechanic friend is right. It is good stuff. I used it in one of my previous cars. My current car is a diesel MPV (minivan) and I use the BG244 which is the diesel version of BG44K. It is worth every penny. It will restore lost power, reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. You can only use BG44K in petrol (gas) engines.
This is REALLY helpful. I did not know that about Seafoam. Thnx.
B.G. 44k Platinum is The BEST Fuel System Cleaner You Will Ever Find. Idk about gumout but B.G Works GOOD For Me.
What cleaner is great to unclog an idle injector for a Kaiwi concurs 2002 with only 600 miles?
I just wanted to say that I have been watching your videos for a while and I am very impressed. I like the way you are able to back up what you are saying with test equipment. Most guys on youtube don't seem to do that. Keep up the good work. Your videos have helped me several times to diagnose some problems with my cars. One question I do have is it okay to use the gum out fuel system cleaner pretty often ? Like once a month or should it be used like every six months?
BG44 is the best fuel injection cleaner
Update from using this cleaner. Great product cleared my rough idle within 22 miles. Thanks so much I will use every 5k miles.....
i used Seafoam in my crankcase when my car had a rough idle. this yielded very good results. i had to do this about every other oil change. my downfall was the type of oil i was using (Pennzoil Full Synthetic) but i've switched since then and had very few buildups that needed it in the crankcase since.
if you have an older car that has not been properly maintained, i do not suggest using Seafoam in the crankcase or even in the gas tank for that matter since it can cause a lot of problems.
You just made a believer out of me😳 thank you
0:45 ... I still see some space between the cars, let's get this a bit more professional!
I love it! With this new Ethynyl Crisis. I now know on how to clean my car. Thanks Scotty...You're the best!
Always a GREAT overload of awesome information. The information is golden when needing to challenge a local mechanic.
Scotty, you're the man!!
Hard to believe, the after picture doesn't look like a 7afe piston... :(

I'll try this product. I've used Seafoam and the results are so so in modern engines
I've learned sooo much from Scotty and saved a buncha money, too!
"why shall i listen to that guy? what does he know what he is talking about?
well actually i don't believe what most people tell me either, so you go do what i do, use the stuff and test it!" HAHAHA Scotty Kilmer da man!
