      Hello Scotty, I need suggestions for oil grades. My car's mileage is 90,000 Kilometres. I am using Castrol Magnatec 10w-40. I was using the same grade with 30,000 Kilometres of mileage but a different brand. It's the first time I have been using Castrol. However, I want to shift to 5w-30. Is it safe to shift to this grade after using 10w40 for 70,000 Kilometres? Both grades are given on my car's manual.
      My city's maximum temperature in summer is 39 degrees Celsius, and in winter, it can go to 0 degrees.
      Please guide. I am counting on your opinion.

    I remember an old coworker of mine was devastated when her car was ruined and wouldn't start. She was mortified and screaming because she thought she was so smart and knew everything, so what did she do wrong to her car? She did NO MAINTENANCE TO HER CAR AT ALL. NEVER HAD AN OIL CHANGE! Even when we told her she needed to do that, she argued with us that it did not need an oil change because it was only five years old! Remember she was so smart and knew everything. More than everyone else. That's why her car was DEAD.

      I worked at a long term rental place for Uber drivers. Had a girl come in because the "bad car" we rented her "doesn't, like, go anymore". Turns out she was a real smart gal who knew a thing or two about doing things so when she saw the oil light had come on, she proceeded to fill it all by her little self with 5 QUARTS. She was so confident in bragging about having done this. The really funny thing is oil changes were included in the rental at no extra cost.

    I used to work at an oil & fluid change shop, and the neglect ppl put their cars through is mind blowing! all too often I've drained the crankcase oil only to see slow flowing sludge coming out of an engine that's already at operating temperatures, or remove an oil filter that was clogged with sludge😣😣😣 Even before I had that job, I could never bring myself to go that long between intervals! I've owned some unreliable cars in the past. But I've stayed on top of my fluid change intervals, and I've rarely ever had problems afterwards besides the occasional mechanical repair needed in high mileage vehicles. I feel so much better knowing that My oil & trans fluid is clean, along with the typical Coil packs, plugs, cables, belts, hoses(cooling system flush) and the occasional radiator change, air filter, tires & alignment. I've never paid more than $3k for any of my cars, and they've all been reliable after taking care of the basics, and I end up driving those cars for years

    My brother's father in law was a mechanic. He would buy synthetic oils and changed the oil filter after 3 months, then topped off the oil. He told me that back in the 80s. Synthetic was pretty expensive back then so would change 6 thousand miles doing that.

    I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger with over 174k mileage on it and I recently had my throttle body replaced because a friend of mine who is a mechanic told me that the sensor on the throttle body was faulty and looking at the 10 year old original part, it was beyond help because it was really dirty, plus his friend tested the original sensor and good thing that got replaced or I would've been screwed. My car can be a problem child at times, but still going strong though. Love your videos Scotty.

      Good news , isn't it great that most of the transfer cases go at 80k for $4k , rings go bad and use a quart every 1000miles, then the funniest recall where gm has you come in when headlights are too bright they put a sticker filter on your sun faded lens

      I have a 2014 3.6 Terrain, 42k miles, no engine issues, change the oil every 3k - 4k like you. Front end lower control arm bushings on each side leaked the fluid out at 40k....not happy about that.

  • @dednside5229
    @dednside5229 Год назад +3

    One thing you want to watch out for is the oil cap itself. It can disintegrate at it base and clog the oil pickup. I know it sounds crazy but a perfectly healthy engine did it in my vvti toyota. Change the caps if the car is getting older.

  • @stephenhagen234
    @stephenhagen234 7 месяцев назад +1

    Bring the engine temp up to "normal" operating temp before you pull the drain plug. This will help it flow better out into the drain pan. And move the drain pan out from under the oil filter when you put the new filter on. I failed to do this once and and the new, clean, unused filter slipped out of my hands and landed in the pan of dirty oil. That was $ down the drain and I learned and have never repeated this.

    If you have an aluminum oil pan, be super careful when putting the drain plug back on…don’t cross thread it! If you do you’ll have to replace the oil pan and they are not inexpensive.

    Awesome video, this is the same engine in the Dodge Journey sxt. 4 cyl 2015. This is a great motor, with some work they can last a long time mine is at 360,000 + miles. right now I have an exhaust leak north of my O2 sensor bank 1. it might be my exhaust manifold...hey Scotty, any videos on locating exhaaust leaks and replacing a gasket on this engine. Also, I happen to have a VVT solenoid for the intake side sitting here right now...just don't want to get into it right now because they have a history of breaking off when attempting to remove them, piece that gets stuck inside engine has to be drilled out. That is a whole nother story.

    I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT CHANGING OIL REGULARLY. I did have an 1985 VW Cabriolet that I bought in 1995 with 100k miles on it. I changed the oil RELIGIOUSLY with Castro oil 20-50. I drove it for 16 years, odometer quit working at 196k and continued to drive it for 5-7years more. GOD only knows how many miles I had on it. I also had the same clutch the WHOLE TIME. IT'S A SHAME I LET MY MOTHER CONVINCE ME TO SELL THE CAR, STILL RAN GOOD, NO LEAKS, GOOD GAS MILEAGE FOR THE WAY I DRIVE but was going to need a new top soon, air conditioning didn't work, needed paint job and interior work. I had just a new clutch and tires installed. 😮😢
