We will also add content of product reviews, tutorials of installs, maintenance and build progress.
Most of our "Shorts" will feature local restaurants/food spots we like. Some shorts will feature chains and local spots, as we like to support local businesses and hope to give them some exposure so others can enjoy!

Teaching my son's 1st oil change on our Mitsubishi Montero.
It's time for an oil change on the @mitsubishicarsMontero and it was a perfect opportunity to teach my son to do an oil change. I have been wanting to teach him for awhile now and that he will be driving in the future, it was time to start getting him familiarized with auto maintenance and some mechanics to hopefully benefit him in the future.
We also try oil @AMSOILinc engine/transmission flushing this video and of course fill it back up with Amsoil signature series synthetic oil.

Exploring Herky Huffman / Bull Creek WMA, FL. ASMR off-road trip in our Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero

Lovely Pajero man!
Nice!
Thank you😎👍
Great content! It's always nice to teach them young. I tried this with Max and he just plays with my ratchet wrench and power tools, too young I guess lol. Great job guys 🙌
@@maxdexpeditions I wanted to teach him much earlier but I was always in some crunch time just to get the oil change done. When Max gets a little older....he will probably be more interested and open to learn. You and the family be safe!!!!
Proud of your son! I am planning to do an oil change soon! It is way overdue, last oil change was in 2021.
Wait ..2021? Do you drive your Montero alot?
@@itsaboutfam yes I daily drive it in city and all around California!
@@KenHer3500 How many miles since it's last oil change?
@@itsaboutfam approximately around 25000-30000 miles! The odometer showed 136k when last oil change! Now at 153k
@@KenHer3500 😦...you should at least do an oil change every 5000 miles especially with older motors. I honestly don't know how your motor is still running with 25-30k since it's last oil change.
You didn’t need to do a flush on the Montero you’ve been using AMSOIL I saw other video that motor already clean lol
Essentially you're kinda right. It did seem to clean out what was in the motor. My oil was darker than the past couple times this last oil change which was an indication the product is working. Most Amsoil folks who use the flush say they use it every 3rd oil change.
This is great I wanna to the same for my son when he gets older I’m also using AMSOIL been happy with it over Mobil 1
How do I get it out if it is stuck? Broke the connector part to it too trying to pry it out
@@kennethramirez1020 in the video I stated I had to remove the compressor to remove the valve.
such a fantastic vacation you guys have in my home State. You did a great job in Vlogging. I have been to Charlotte several times but never been to activate, the Museum of Illusions, Urban Market District, and Super G Mart. Will check out them all including Manila Grill at Super G Mart.
@@LinoandLine My wife's sister lives in Fort Mill, so they are literally in the state lines of South and North Carolina. We have been up several times already and we love it up there. We have been looking at areas where we might want to move to....but definitely looking for property with a couple acres. You should check those places out ...Urban Market District is more Asian based restaurants which is cool. Optimist Hall is another food hall that has local foods too.

McDowell Nature Preserve looks like a pleasant place to hike. the nature center has live animals which is pretty neat. It always nice to hike with the family, and this is just the right trail for a family with kids, although there are spots with some incline, it looks like mostly flat. It's also fun to check out small creatures crawling on the ground, including a baby snake, and other fauna and flora, a good place to exercise, and at the same time to learn. great content. thank you for sharing form your new fans - Lino and Line.
Thank you very much for the kind comments, it's very much appreciated! It's definitely a beautiful trail. There are options with different terrain to enjoy the trail and nature in general. The more difficult trails though will provide a more immersive and enjoyable experience.
Mobile 1 full synthetic is not that good period. It doesn't even compare to amsoil.
I share the same opinion. My experience with Mobil 1 in the past hasn't been impressive.
Amsoil in all three cases in my 06 Harley Davidson Softail 88
No contest Amsoil hands down
😎👍
I would say so myself😎
These vans are a nightmare, we never had nearly as many problems with our Caravan. The same problem and we had to replace the condenser, compressor at 45,000 - totally unacceptable. Also a water pump already, radiator. Enough is enough. Never again will we own a Toyota.
The only issues we have had on our Sienna is the A/C issue, some of the cheap plastic interior pieces breaking and the lower control arm bushings failing before 100k. Other than that ..it's been pretty reliable, sorry yours has been giving you issues.
Was your compressor still coming on with that switch bad
Yes...my compressor would still cycle.
I store it in my trunk I live in New Jersey it’s been good with all the bars lit . People say don’t but what’s the point ?
I store mine in my vehicle as well.
Bro this is one fine example of a montero
@@DuanDao Thank you 🤜🤛
Nice video, but music is to loud !
I saw another video of this repair and there was still some pressure in the system after he did an evac. The valve blew out of the compressor as soon as the guy started pulling on it.
I honestly don't think it's the best way to still have the system pressurized when you replace this valve.
Guys that is in Columbia Maryland
@@Chicken_GTVR nope

Ok I can tell from the outside

My kind of trail, not too technical good for the family. Too bad the Bull Creek trail is closed, there's always next time though. Loving the ASMR and the wide-open roads! Take care and have fun you all
It was our first time at that trail and it was a very nice easy trail to enjoy the scenery and get away. Trail 3 which is Bull Creek is the main attraction of that trail which has several long water crossings that can get deep and recommended to have a lift and 4wd. It's only open for 3 months so our goal is to run it early next year. Thank you for watching and much love to your family from ours!🤜🤛
whered you get that steering wheel?
It's just my stock steering wheel with a cover from Amazon.
I had 1944 of 2000 sold it to my friend and now I'm in talks to buy it back
@@kevinvalladolid7633 That's awesome to hear. Hopefully it's running and in good condition.
Hey done this to my paj. How do I keep the nozzles still. Ive installed them but they wont stay stuck in place
@@roccowootton3036 You may of trimmed down the clip base too much if it's not staying in place. If you trimmed it too much it most likely caused your issue .
Yeah I brought mine in last year. Ac was warm all around. They changed the expansion valve. Expensive. It got fairly cold. A year later it’s warm again. But It would be cold while I was idling, but driving above 25 mph, it would start to get warm. Also, I heard a rapid ticking noise under the engine bay; only when the ac was on. I was suspecting an ac clutch, but it’s just a guess. I’m going to try to change this valve. If you have any insight based on what I’ve stated, please let me know.
I recommand to check 'evaporator pin sensor'. im not sure but i expect more this. thats easy to check and not expansive than changing control valve.
@@user-ep4cz3zy1ithank you sir I will check that!
My tires are wearing on the outside so it's either my lower ball joint or LCA bushing going bad..replacing both today!
@@jamminsavan1440 When the bushings fail it will throw off the toe settings and can cause that wear. I hope you replacing the LCAs resolves your issues.

@@FoolsAmongUs I haven't used their engine flush....but I have been debating if I should. My motor has been running so well I haven't had a reason to. I have used their fuel system cleaner and it seems to work well. It's a out the same price at Techron.

How long did your aftermarket control arms last for?
They are still holding up fine. I am using Moog lower control arms. I last inspected them a couple months ago...the bushings still look good.
Looks like it would fall off every time you shut your door.
@@xbpbat21x if you shut the door hard...yes it can fall off, but for the most part it stays on. This is meant for long trips on or off trails to rest your arm on the door which makes a huge difference in comfort.
There are 2 expansion valves apparently, one for the Rear position with Rear AC (475-2105) and the other one is for the Front position with Front AC only (475-2106) which is the one you have in the video. The Siennas do have AC in the front and so is in the back, is that what they are referring when talking about either front or back? I have to replace mine and I'm super confused cause I'm not sure which one would be the right one to buy? Do you have any input in that regards? Thanks
@@Kidnappedbyart In this video I replaced the front expansion valve.
@@itsaboutfam right, I’m aware. My question I guess is does it matter which one cause I need to replace the front one too? They both look identical to me.
@@Kidnappedbyart from what I researched it depends if your not getting cool enough air on the front or rear. Some say replace both at the same time and some say replace the front. An old coworker from when I worked for Toyota years ago said I should be fine replacing the front expansion valve because the rears rarely fail.
@@itsaboutfam oh I see, ok, it makes sense sense now. Thank you for the info.
@@Kidnappedbyart you're welcome
I had a 1980 BMW320I and I did 21000 mile oil changes with Amsoil. I ran AMSOIL since I bought the car new. I sold the car with 180000 miles, and it still looked new under valve cover. I ran that car hard in NY driving. I started using Amsoil in 1976. That report shows that Amsoil has a much better additive package than Mobil one. It looks like the Amsoil will do 10000 miles easy.
That's awesome..and pretty cool you were using Amsoil that long ago. Thank you for sharing!
Hey there!We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?😀
Took my car to Toyota dealership today for a simple oil change and was told my whole front suspension was shot. Quoted me almost $4,000. I am PISSED TO HIGH HEAVEN!!! My friend and I are going yo buy all OEM parts and do it ourselves. Screw this!!!
@@ricardoyoung2008 Unfortunately the dealer or most repair shops will charge about the same. The FSM has the whole front subframe to be dropped to repair the LCAs. The majority of the cost is the labor rate rather than the actual parts.
Looks like an easy relaxing trail for a hike. North Carolina got a lot of hiking trails. Loving the ASMR style. Hope all is well and take care
It was...this was the 3rd hiking trail we have been to in the Carolinas and each one has been absolutely peaceful and fun to hike. Florida has some nice ones but only a couple of them we have been to are as enjoyable. How is everything over where you're at? Hope you and the family are doing well also.
@@itsaboutfam All is well, we've been getting into the habit of hiking as well.
You were supposed to get the gas pressure out 😮
Thank you very much. Now I see the real problem...
I heard it hit at highway speeds when i let off the gas to slow down, also vibration at highway speeds, tires balenced many times. Play in the steering wheel while parked. Tie rod ends original i think and very squeky. Ball joints new but they did not change the arms. As you said below they remove the subframe at the stealership, if they did i trust they tightened it properly. I am buying oem parts this time, but not from that stealership but a different one much cheaper. I also bought new bolts and nuts as the bolts might be shot. I did hit a pothole at 55 mph on the left side a few years ago. The cover on the strut blew off to the side of the road (replaced and strut and bearing). The left front blew out a bubble one hour after the incident. Made it home two rims were shot, Replaced all 4 tires they has 5/32" left. road force balence and still have the shake. Much less now but its still there. let me know what you think.
U may consider switching to Quaker state 5w40 euro SP..or the 5w30 full synthetic high mileage dexos 1 gen3...ive been using the oils in my 2017 bmw 320i and 2016 Highlander after seeing the low volatility..like 5.7%..and seeing that kia Hyundai approached shell for an oil to deal with their gdi oil consumption problems...at RAT 540 engine oil testing showed how robust the oils are for the money..as long as you are going to be pouring 3qts a cycle out the tail pipe so to speak....just a thought...thanks for the video and the test results were helpful to me...very informative...
How did you remove the broken valve?

Sorry bro that is just sad especially you and your kids created good memories in that area
@@maxdexpeditions It's the unfortunate reality of living in a area that is growing in a intense rate. Fortunately the memories are still there , we just have to create new ones in different places. I hope everything is well with you and the family.
Have similar issue on Sienna 2014 with bad AC performance. Measured pressure: low 55-60, high 200-210 on a hot day. Compressor clutch is engaged. Could it be the control valve?
My pressures looked normal as well before I swapped out the control valve. They were a tad lower where they should be but the hi and low pressures were within specs based on differential.
this is my current problem right now.. the last owner of my pajero/montero, completely removed the EVAP system, im in the process of restoring it, if you could please send me the picture of the top of your charcoal canister, since its not available anymore and im planning on making my own canister, it would tremendously help me have an idea on to where i need to place the hoses, this will be my final solution on my occasional rough idling problems...
