Hi there I started getting fault messages on the Dashboard of my 2020 mazda 3 saloon. I had the dealership hook it up to their Diagnostic machine which showed the battery needed replacing which they did. When i drove away the same fault messages came back so they hooked it up again to the diagnostic machine which didn't show any faults and i should monitor it over the weekend. Every day i drive the car the fault messages keep appearing eg Radar fault and driver safety faults. Any ideas before i take it back to the dealership?

You need not 'warm up' a modern engine. But do not use full throttle until the temp gauge reads in the normal range

Stop leaving baby’s and young kids in cars with the windows closed in a hot day!!! This is still happening in 2024, what is wrong with people!!

A good one to never leave in your car is…. Candy or gum. Oh boy, when that chocolate or gum melts you better have a good detailing company.

Good tips!

1:07 Hey clown.... How the eff do those products make it to your store for purchase? I'll give you a hint... it does NOT involve climate controlled freight carriers, nor climate controlled warehouses. Go take any of those products and toss it on a fire... It takes far far more heat than you will EVER see inside a vehicle.

Right the first one. It is not about oxygen vanishing from the car, it is about heat and nothing else. If you get the most basic thing wrong even though it is so obvious, what else do you get wrong? SMH.

Its easy to forget things. In vans its even worse. One morning i picked up a can of energy drink. Left in the cup holder ( underneath the windscreen) came back to the van 8 hours later after work, this was during a heatwave. The can had exploded. The whole sticky contents went EVERYWHERE! all over the windscreen, ceiling, steering wheel into the electrics. Right mess

Rislone high milage low compression oil

And also if you drive like you stolen the car, it will consumes a little oil on most cars.

I AM CONFUSED. Seems like what I hear varies. WHO DO I LISTEN TO? Again, does it vary per car/per maker, your driving habits and whatever else? I KNOW that modern trans, like engines & the whole damn car are over-teched, possibly inferior, possibly twitchy pieces of ".......". I don't know this guy, but he seems believable--I've heard what he says many times before. That guy Scotty sounds quite credible.

How does someone make a transmission sleep?

Good job, I believe you touched on it all.

lol what is this guy talking about oh thats right open diffs so the stuck wheel sends power to the wheel with the least resistance... but I also have a triple locked 4runner lol Nitro gears 4.88, the lockers are made by Eaton

Good Information

I concur on all points, but don't just drain and fill the ATF, but drop the pan and replace the filter and clean the sludge out of the pan.

So I presume using the gear shift selector to gear down often, which I do, will not kill your automatic?

I do change my transmission fluid. However never "flush' it. To many horror stories.

I do not agree with thr OP stating that transmission will overheat while in Drive in traffic. That is not true info. Your leg will overheat first before the trans.

Go manual transmission!

Any car since the 1980's needs 10 seconds max. Drive it easy at first depending on terrain and outdoor temperature. The car warms up as you drive it. Idling is not good for any car.

so I should knock it into neutral when stuck in line at the drive-through?

I have a new Subaru impreza with CVT transmission. All new Subaru's have Stop/Start which cuts engine when foot is on brake when stopped. This obviously disengages the Transmission. Thus this feature should never be disabled as many people are doing cause they don't like it. In the past I thought it was normal to stop your automatic car and keep the motor going and leave it in drive. If it was stopped too long I would put it in neutral. Seems the Stop/Start feature is saving the CVT transmission. Correct??

In Australia when you turn your car on? Its already warmed up.

Yes! Finally someone who said exactly what my brother told me years ago! He has been a transmission technician since te 80s until recently. All he ever did was performance rebuilding on Automatic transmission and differentials. And also older model cars you can shift manually unless its computer controlled like a 4L60E!

Very very thick Slavic accent

ALWAYS when parking, put in neutral,apply parking brake, then into park. Get it? Got it,? Good. Do it

Neutral drops - poor man’s stall speed torque converter.

1) Buying one 2) Owning one 3) Driving one 4) Using one 5) Having one If only people could still drive, then they could control their own car, like many people in England still do.

Thank you for saying 'parking brake' and not 'emergency brake'.

It has ben said to change all fluid every 30000-40000 miles and filter . CZcams Channel - One Road and ? show disconnecting hoses from transmission cooler . One hose into container with new fluid to suction up and force old fluid out the other hose into a container , vehicle running of course . Rather than a " flush machine " which has a high pressure . Amsoil is said to be the best .

#5 this is something that happens to me all the time at an upward incline but i never knew what it was . So he's saying that when parking at an incline engage the E-brake, then disengage the E-brake after you shift out of Park?

Excellent advice, backed up with reasons and illustrations, for saving your transmission unnecessary wear and failure. Much appreciate you making this video.

Have fun we’ll worry about the consequences later 💀

Keep to a manual transmission. (Most of) us brits do.

Add a transmission cooler in front of your radiator you will have to add some more fluid.

there are magnetics into the chamber of atf transmissions which catch all tiny debris of friction.

Most dealership have cameras. If you have any questions just let your service advisor know. They can review footage. It's okay to trust. Plus those who are doing that wouldn't be there long, as their actions will likely catch up to them in matter of time.

I work for a dealership as a technician and can confirm that I have never even seen oil

You want it done right, just do it youre self. Not that hard to change youre own oil. and you get the benefit of knowing the correct oil was used.

Your K24 prefers changes every 5k or less, for the timing chains sake. I change mine every 3k in all my cars, no kill like overkill 🍻

Some new cars these days don't have a dipstick :(

New oil will be almost clear on the dip stick.

All of this is common sense to me and in tons of other videos but whatever.

Not to say there are not any shops ripping people off, however, having been 42 years as a Tech in Australia and Canada in many Dealerships as well as aftermarket shops..... have NEVER seen this. Most engines new or old the oil will almost always look the same as it did after you run the engine long enough to get home and "recheck". Colour is not very often an indication of condition. If you truly suspect someone doing this take a sample of oil before and after (kits available at most autoparts stores), send it off to be tested. Or.... go somewhere else where you have heard good reviews.
