Years ago I wanted to start a 900 number system for electrical issues but my father said I was a dumass for thinking of that. A few years later people were making millions off of that kinda thing. It was before the internet so I missed my shot. Now I'm working on my 2cnd million tho. I gave up on my first.

    I love your videos, I just can't say that enough. I try to make sure I watch all of them. They really are so helpful as a single mother because there's a lot of things I didn't know about cars. For instance, I didn't know you had to balance and rotate your tires every five or eight thousand miles until the last time I bought tires because no one had ever told me. I thought it was something you got done when you got new tires and that was it, a one-time thing. That's why my tires never lasted long but no one ever bothered to tell me any different, my own dad never even taught me that so once I said something, he was like well yeah, if you don't keep them balanced and rotated then they can get crooked basically and we're out and I didn't know this and the lady that worked at the tire shop said, okay will you know if you don't put oil in your car, your engine will blow up right? I thought that was so rude but I said, actually yeah I do know that because I have an oil leak so I have to do that every week. It's the crankshaft seal and you have to do the timing belt along with the water pump and the place quoted me $450 but they never said anything about the timing belt and the water pump, that's what my family mechanic told me so I don't know if that price includes everything or literally just the seal. Does that seem like a price for everything? I'm not sure but I know that I've had a water pump go out and I've had to have it replaced before and just that alone was like $300 but I've also heard that when you have a crankshaft seal oil leak, everything comes inside of a kit with a water pump, timing belt and the new seal. So I would think that's why it makes it cheaper plus are already in there doing all that work right by the water pump in the timing belt. There's just so much invaluable information that I've learned from watching your Channel so I really appreciate it, I say this all the time but I just want you to know

      Yep. One thing I do is keep a nice "middle ground" for psi of the tires.
      My tires Max psi is 51 (this is on your tires sidewall)
      My car recommends 27 but that's so damn low.
      So I keep it at 35 which reduces rolling resistance and increases fuel economy. You will feel a little bit of the road but it's nothing bad !

A damaged wheel could cause the loss of air pressure but the wheel doesn't go flat only the tire does.

      @@JesusIsKing-OfKings WRONG! In modern computerized vehicles, the engine can cut off fuel if there is low load or no load on the engine. If you stay in gear and let off the gas while the engine speed is above idle, the engine will cut off fuel. Because you are in gear, the wheels will keep turning the engine so it doesn't stall. If you are in neutral the wheels won't turn the engine, so the engine has to send fuel to maintain idle. The computer will always maximize fuel consumption and emission levels.

    Modern computerized engine management systems compensate for the gradually clogging air filter but they can only compensate so much. When the filter looks dirty, replace it with a new OEM equivalent filter. Some shops have, or had, air filter testers but most air filters don't cost much so they're not worth paying $120/hour to remove, test and reinstall an used filter. Pop the lid on the filter chamber, look at it. If it's dirty put a new one in.

    Hi Scotty, I am a little surprised that you did not touch on tire air pressure. I know in climates where the air temp changes regularly (Alberta, Canada), tire pressure can change 2-3 psi overnight. Anyways I thought it might be worth mentioning. Cheers Jaime

    Oh, but Scotty, I had an old cop car; a Caprice w/ 350; I put a K&n in there and got six mpg more! I didnt believe it, so I changed it back to a paper one for a day and got way less again, so I threw paper away and put K&N back in there
