plz link me that oil filter socket. i have been takn my cars to valvoline because i can never get the filters off.
Scotty.... do you use "new oil" on the filter gasket or "used oil"?
That your old place .. what great memories
Scotty Kilmer ? What type of motor oil should I use on a freshly installed remanufactured engine that's not broken in ? After the break in the remanufactured engine. What motor oil should I use ?
Im no fancy professional mechanic like Scotty..but in my opinion I say...
Aint broke.. Dont fix it.
Scotty is so powerful he went ahead of time into winter to demonstrate oil in the cold for us, AND then went back into hotter weather. Truly a god among men
Pro tip: Clean your funnel before pouring fresh oil in to your engine. Then, don't toss the funnel on to the ground. Wipe it out and store it in a clean place until the next use.
I store my funnels in plastic bags. Spray them with carb cleaner.
Or don't use a funnel. Can al2ays have a spare oil can you can decant oil into.
You mean, use your brain and common sense?😃
@@liviubita4238 You know it!😁
A super easy underrated way is to just not put oil in. Therefore there will be no chance of a contamination or dirty engine! I usually just flush my engine with dish soap and a water hose! 😎
Professor Kilmer, schooling us today on petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and chemical engineering! That's why I've been here for almost ten years. LOVE you, Scotty!
I think he’s married dude
@@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_ c'mon now, let a man dream!
This guy would be a Nobel Peace Prize winner for saving humanity lol
If you need a beaker bar to remove an oil drain plug, it's not because you're weak, it's because the guy that changed it before you needs to go on decaf, or at least learn how to use a torque wrench.
@@TurkeyCreekjackjohnson_ ROFL! Like my dad or grandpa, bro. Clever response, though.
“Oil is cheaper than metal”- Scotty Kilmer
Boom!
It’s def not cheaper
@@Acidburn3141what’s cheaper bozo a new engine or engine oil
scottys driveway in Houston videos never get old.. the legend has spoken!!
I was just saying that when it came on! Things seemed simpler then.
Here i thought i was the only one with a sappy sentimentality for the red garage with a busted door.
I thought he said that they built townhouses there.
This is a textbook oil change. It's insane how many other videos take it to lightly or too in depth. This is perfection.
Perfection would be using a clean funnel to pour fresh oil into the engine, as opposed to one with visible debris!
Text book oil change lol, using a breaker bar for the drain plug and a dirty funnel lmao
At about the 1 minute point as Scott lie on the ground with his dark glasses, for that moment he looks like Peter Sellers in the 1964 movie Doctor Strangelove
Pro tip: check your owners manual. It may actually give you different oil requirements based on the ambient temperature.
Uuuyy
Uuuyy
Are those found in the cubby hole or glove compartment?
True
@@rsbreeze spare tire
Always make sure the drain plug gasket isnt stuck to the oil pan, dont want to double up on those either.
1:33 😂
Can confirm
I have done over 450 oil changes and had the filter gasket stick to the engine once. The drain plug gasket, never.
IM OBSESSED WITH SCOTTY VIDEOS! 😅
Scotty’s voice is so comforting because I watch him every day, it’s like being at home.
Loll
I couldn't agree more. You won't forget his voice, once you've listened awhile.
I always read the owner's manual When it comes to finding out what oil my car needs My old Kia I found out It could take 2 oils But it also depends on climate/where you live My old Kia could take 5w20 and 5w30 But it recommended 5w30 For warmer climates and 5w20 for colder climates I live in California So I used 5W-30
My dad used to tell me to put oil on the seal of the new oil filter and I've been doing that for years. Gald to see that it's still being taught and implemented to mechanics watching your channel
Good point. I changed the oil in my Outback last spring. Next oil change, couldn’t understand why filter wouldn’t come off. Then rememberedI didn’t oil the gasket. Eventually got it off with the help of my mechanic cousin.
Yup, dad taught me the same. Also, the absolute fun flathead screwdriver to the filter trick because some shop tightened a filter on too tight. Lol
My step Dad always instructed me as a boy, always wipe the surface before screwing on the filter and drain plug. -Sound advice!
Fond memories of the old Houston videos I am so old I remember watching Scotty on television
👌🏿👌🏿I’ve started changing my oil every 3 months. March03 june06 September 09 December 12. Easy to remember
How many miles do you drive per year ?
You must not have a working odometer. I always changed mine on the 5,000 mile count. My son goes by 3,000 up to 6,000 then does 4,000 so he can start off at at zero again.
@@Azureecosse about 5 thousand on a 1999 with about 160k miles. Moneys not an issue AT ALL. My pockets will thank me later😌😉
@@dwightmitchell1464 ummm 5k every oil change so 20-25
@@billwilson3609 wow good for you and good for your son!!! I change my oil every 3 months AND take note of how much miles I’m at. I’m no airhead👍🏿
You’re the Best Scotty!! I LOVE ALL of your videos. Lay down the law Scotty! I’ve been doing my own oil changes since 1979 when I was the first girl ever in the history of my school to take auto mechanics. But I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos. AWESOME!!
-One thing for sure, when you do a LOF, (lube, oil and filter), you know the job was done right! I call that peace of mind...
Who’s holding Donna now? 😊
Just remember “oil is cheap, engines aren’t” - Scotty Kilmer
Words to the wise
For now!
@@larryjensen1388 Engine price can also go up.
It's worse than that. The end of the engine is often the end of the vehicle. It means, buying another vehicle, not buying an installing an engines.
Can we please apreciate the fact that Scotty waits for winter just to finish filming his video with snow footage? 🙏💪
True
I'm 77..Been changing my own oil since I was 14 and NEVER changed the gasket and NEVER had an issue!!
I love when he pops up with a video that was shot in Houston.
I trust Scotty when it comes to cars I wouldn’t dare question him
He’s good cause he’s honest. I don’t know him personally but if he takes the time to make a video to teach us something good that we can all benefit from to me that’s a sign of a good honest man.
@fawn fairy lol he just played with the youtube algorithm😂 genius
Uncle Scotty loves being questioned
You should always question…
@@BeyondLumination
Unless it's a guy in a white lab coat. Never EVER question him. He knows what's best for you
This Peruvian here really appreciate your very informative and full of knowledge videos )))) Muchas gracias for letting us enjoy and learn at the same time Mr. Scott !!
You always keep the mechanics up to date and well informed and it means alot to all of us.
An essential video for better understanding how to make your car's engine to last longer and run efficiently!
Pay attention and you will save money in car lasting longer and on repairs.
Scotty, I respect your knowledge and passion to share your experience with others. Keep it up, even if it does offend others.
Regardless of the engine, I always prime the filter with oil.
BAD idea. Too many opportunities to introduce (microscopic) contaminates into the outflow of the filter, and therefore INTO the engine, completely bypassing the functionality of the filter.
If it's pointed upright you are right ✅
Morning from South Africa 🇿🇦
morning!
Morning from Viet Nam
About the only thing I buy from Walmart is motor oil and filters on sale.
Wal-Mart there only place I'll wear a masque...not because of chic flu but so that nobody I know will see me at a Wal-Mart.

Indeed!
Thank you scotty for the constant reminders ! 😀
Excellent advice, this is the Scotty we love!
BIGASS Fan's are a must in
TEXAS !
😆 Always make my day Mr Scotty 👍👍
Literally the name of the fan brand
Truth presented in a very lively and humorous way👏👏
Some good advice here. I might even try on my 2012 Honda accord euro.
Make sure the car is level so all the oil drains out evenly. Don't just jack up one side unless you have a side exit sump
you can jack it back down while it's draining to get the remainder
I love the dedication to wait until it’s cold and snowy, to do a clip on how conventional versus synthetic oil flows. Bravo Mr Kilmer
Or you could read the data sheets online every oil manufacturer puts out their cold flow rate
I learnt alot from Scotty. before buying a used hybrid, i listened his advice and bought used Honda and saved alot of money. he is helping alot of people and giving best advices.
those luxury car collectors such as Manny Khoshbin should invite you and learn from you.
I would love to see a breakdown of the better/worse ecoboost v6 engines.
I know the four cylinders are junk, and the earlier v6 models had chain tensioner/guide problems. They made a lot of improvements in 2017(really 2016), 2018, and in 2020 or 2021.
I've used the same oil pan drain plug w/ no washer or problems, for almost 20 years, on my `97 Outback. How many cars can fit in Scottys drive? 😲
With any car I buy I get a thick copper oil gasket and never have had to change one. The nylon looking ones I wouldn't trust though.
Same
"Permanent anti-freeze" - the people who actually bought into that, ruin their cooling system from corrosion. "LIFETIME TRANSMISSION FLUID" - complete the sentence
It’s lifetime fluid alright, the lifetime of the transmission lol
You just don’t get it refers to your car, ir’s not about your lifetime. The so called lifetime of a car is 8 to 10:years.
@@animalmother5902 when something goes bad, just throw it out and buy new one just a couple of bucks.
I had a buddy that was the maintenance planner for a three unit coal-fired electrical generation plant. He showed me catalogs of lubricants that would last the lifetime of any motor vehicle since those would be light-duty applications and their rated lifespan for severe duty use varied from 30,000 to 50,000 hours. Those also were insanely expensive with one synthetic lube running $50,000 for a 30 gallon drum.
@@billwilson3609 $50k for a drum of oil’s pretty cheap compared to a $300M generator/turbine assembly.
I really enjoy appreciate your channel, your analysis, opinions, and your advice. Thank you!
I use 5w30 mobile 1 extended performance Dexos for my 06 Grand Prix along with a Wix XP filter
Keep up the great work Scotty love ya buddy!👍🏻
Evening SCOTTY
You are the best! 😊
Your right again Scotty, you got the ones that care and maintain their cars properly. You also have the ones that don't have it in mind and scratching their heads on why the cars have problems a couple of years down the road. Unless you bought a lemon in the first place. 😎👍
Been using that filter removal tool for years. Awesome tool.
Who else ENJOYS changing oil? I enjoy changing all fluids.
I LOVE routine maintenance.............for real. 😐
nothing like a few cold ones when your working on your rig.
@@robertkwiatkoski1292 Yup, friends stop over, it's a good time. A lot of money is saved, and it's done right!
I also enjoy releasing fluids
Listening to Scotty talk about the oil, reminds me of my😳 high school coach talking about the football plays🤣👍
Those oil filter sockets are great. Been using them for well over 20 years now.
Hello Scotty, You have just gained a fan from the other end of the continent - Malaysia. Have learned a lot from you
I noticed the old oil filter had month/year handwritten on it. That's what I do, I use a marker (paint pen) and put the date/mileage on ALL my cars oil filters. :)
Why not just have a little note book and keep that information in that . And keep it in your glovebox or arm rest compartment. Its better than crawling under your car everytime to check it. Plus whenever you change other things you write it down.
@@freedomring4813 exactly what I do. Every time I do anything to my truck I write it down on a paper and put it in a ziploc bag in my glove box
I keep a log in my glove box as well. Even if I rotate tires I write it in, good to know for when it comes time to rotate again. Plus it helps tremendously with resale value. How do you prove when you did the oil changes to a prospective buyer when you throw away the oil filters with the dates written on them? 😆
@@justacinnamonbun8658 My cars are old and of little value money wise (Toyotas's 1999,2003) don't plan on selling and won't get much. info is for my own use. I see the point of records if you are gonna sell however. Good point.
Always like that BA Fan.. Hope Scotty took it with him when he left Houston.
course he did, can't imagine him leaving something like that!
Thank you Scott. I'll remember to put the drain plug back from now on lol
Great stuff as always Scotty!!💪🏻
Uncle Scotty when all else fails,drag out some older videos for the younger ones out here that need to know 😊😂
With winter about to hit many places in the northern hemisphere, and Scotty not settled in at Rhode Island yet, this is a good time for it.
I have an oil filter wrench that's made out ot a bicycle chain.
Works good, even in tight spaces.
Great video Scotty
Important and well-presented information. Thanks!!!
I got a 02 Tahoe 5.3 ls vortec it has 2
299530 runs good its 4x4
My high miles as well, that the engine as far I know!! Never had problem, no check engine lite at all!! I am too old for oil changes, brake fuid I let my a trusted local shop do it for us!!
I put Pennzoil Full Synthetic into my car replacing a Synthetic Blend and my Engine immediately sounded much healthier
Blends have always been a joke to me … like margarine lol .. you can’t get any information on what percentage of mix is used !!! Ect ect ect … ( still can’t believe that anyone would buy it !! ) .. ( I personally believe that it’s just a bad 1/2 step in the wrong direction… ) also I have no faith in STP , back in the day it was not what it claimed to be.. so I don’t mess with it now lol
Solid Info, Scotty you're the Best!
Another great video Scotty, a lot of great info!
Back in time when my family owned our first car, we hardly ever did an oil change, as the engine would use about one pint every 1000 miles. We would top up the oil in a garage that had a forecourt dispenser; 50 SAE for summer use, and 30 SAE for winter use, So at any one time we would have a mixture of the two in the engine. The pistons then were pure aluminium, and the cylinders were cast iron. Nowadays Chromium Steel is used for the cylinders, and the pistons are made of a harder mixture of metals.
Wow that's amazing. That's why they call new oil SAE 30w-50 for example.
If you used 30 SAE there was nothing you could do about it when the engine reached full temperature. It's thinner. Technology did come a long way and engines are better than ever!
10W-30 and 40 was around in the '60's. Always covered the bases!
The "W" on the oil stands for winter and not weight. Scotty knows it and just says it to get people's goat
Back in the mid 1980s there used to be a brand name oil commercial on TV where they used the term "weight" instead of winter to describe viscosity. That just might have been where it got it's start.
@@irongoose3865 - It goes back a long way before that - to an era when few mechanics & vehicle owners understood (or even heard) the word "viscosity." TV adverts use the language people already understand - otherwise there's no point in advertising.
@@irongoose3865 In the old days of Single Grade Oils were called W=Weight. Remember my father useing W30 in summer and W20 for winter back in Minnisota, we moved to Seattle and he used straight W30. The Multi Grade Oils came out in the 1950s.
scotty dropping the filter
Very well put together and useful video.
Good work Scotty. Keep it up.
Hey Scotty ,you forgot too mention also that full synthetic oils will make your engine run a little cooler temps as well.😎👍love all the great videos.
I figured scotty would start out saying:
"A windy day is a bad day to change your oil"!
That is one well-oiled fan!
I can make the wind blow just by changing my oil.
On engine oil weights, like in my beater Mazda 3, it having almost 200k I adjusted for the internal wear and tear plus the heat of Summer, I went from a 5W20 to a 10W40 and will adjust to a 10W30 for Winter. With the engine showing lower oil pressure than normal,adjusting weights to manage the pressure. This will allow good lubrication and less likely for bearing failure. The previous owner didn’t do this and the timing chain wore out, luckily he sold it before the bearings went so I am able to prevent any further damage.
Great Episode!
That is a very great oil filter tool I have one and it doesn't fail😉
As long as the previous owner didn’t replace the oil fill cap from a different model…..
Great information as always Scotty! Love ya pal
Love the back ground noises.
your definitely not full of crap Scotty I have learned quite alot from you and have saved alot of money as well being able to do my own repairs so thank you for being a great teacher dude. 😊
I agree with u....
Mushroomhead!!
One day I thought let’s see what this guy has to say. It quickly became my go to for learning and I’ve turned all my friends and family onto scotty’s channel. It’s no doubt the place to go when you have any questions
I like that spring loaded filter wrench so it stays on filter… nice
Thank you Scotty for a great video!
Lol loved the tennis reference
SCOTTYS the BEST, I enjoy watching him do his stuff.✌️
great design the filter under the manifold
100% thank you Charlie Brown.
Scotty's the man!
He is the Sage of mechanical engineering maintenance.
No one can compete with this man, he's a true professional and legend
Love your videos. They are always so informative thank you. I have a 2012 Suzuki Equator with 90k miles. I've had it now for over a year and i cant say enough how GREAT it runs and how much I like this truck. I've done my oil changes every 3k miles since i've had it. It doest really need it but about to do a break job, front and rear. oaky here is my question: Is it easy and would you change a radiator coolant and this truck. Does it need it? At the time i am writing this, I have checked it. I just thought about it while watching this video. Thank you sir
I like what he said about engine flushes because there are so many fans of helping the engine and extending its life by flushing it. Hope fully Scotty explained it properly so you listen to him.
Good Evening Scotty
evening!
Love your videos Scotty!! 💯
I love your videos Mr Kilmer! Your awesome!
That was a very good video. I was wondering what the story with the 0-16 oil was. I think most cars that new are still getting oil changes at the dealer.
Scotty the man
I have done dozens and dozens of oil changes through the years and never once changed the crush washer, never had one oil drain plug leak ever. I have a Hyundai and I use the OEM filters, they are not high priced at all, and good quality.
Yeah, I know what you are saying. I have been changing oil in vehicles since I was 13 years old and now I’m well into retirement. I never used to change those gaskets - until I got a leak a few years ago, now I change the gasket every time. It’s cheap, easy, and better than leaving oil spots on the driveway and garage floor.
3:30 that actually happened to me. I took off the wix oil filter and put a new one on when I changed the oil and didnt realize the gasket had come off. I always start my car after i change the oil to make sure there are no leaks and to let it warm up and then check the levels again. Fortunately I did that because as soon as I started the car the oil started pouring out. If I hadnt done that it could have been a bad day for sure.
Hey scotty great video as usual
Walmart stripped my wife’s drain plug and the damn thing is completely stuck. It jumped the threads or something. Nobody can get it off. I had to order an entire drain pan and now I get to replace that next week. Don’t go to Walmart! Do it yourself.
Drill it out and rethread the hole..way cheaper . Why didn't someone tell
Re-tap the hole. No need to replace or even remove the pan. Oh, and always change your own oil when possible. I don’t trust anyone
@@powerfactor-e5355 we used to live in an apt and I couldn’t change it myself. Now that we bought a house I do it all myself.
Those quick lube places are notorious for screwing up those plugs
Scoot You are the man 👨
You said “weight you need”. Tssk tssk Scotty! Also love your channel.
I like that filter wrench
I think if you gotta use a breaker bar to undue the drain plug, I think it’s a little tight!
Don’t use a breaker bar when reinstalling the drain plug. A 3/8 drive ratchet is plenty.
Likey used a breaker bar 'cause it was handy! One can loosen a bolt a tad easier with a longer fulcrum.
In my dad‘s race car he has a custom built engine and he had to experiment with different oils to create the proper oil weight for his engine
Mario Andretti said that " STP is the racer's edge!" Old school for sure.
In 1974, I bought a 1962 Studebaker Hawk, and started using Chevron Delo 400 oil. It was very high detergent, and after a while it started burning oil. When I took the valve covers off, everything was much cleaner than when I adjusted the valve lifters just after I bought it. I had to rebuild the engine soon after.
