Scotty, I found a 1990 Oldsmobile toronado troféo for (1,000$ cad) 135,000km. Would it be a good third car?
Hey Scotty. Have you ever changed the oil twice, back to back, to flush the crank case, and does that work well?
I do almost exclusive city driving in Colorado. I change my oil every 10-12K. Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic. Never any engine issues. 2003 Toyota Avalon.
My father taught me how to do that when I was 10.
@@timetowakeup6302 I’m
wait Scottys son forgot to change the oil...what a stab in the heart lol...
Must be adopted
@orionh3000 lol to be fair if he truck blows up dad can take care of it :) Maybe its like if your dads a plumber you dont care so much what you flush down the toilet hahaha
Glad to see you here blade brother.
Past don't let scotty know you ever had a Chrysler product or you'll get his wrath.
His dad is a millionaire he can afford not to change the oil and blow the engine
When Scotty found out his son doesn't change his oil, Scotty dropped to his knees, tore his shirt, and screamed, "I HAVE NO SON!!!!!" ha ha ha
Scotty's son: "Dad, I've never changed the oil in my truck."
Scotty: (gasp) "I have no son."
He said he went 10K which is fine according to the service manual on both the 2.7L and 3.5L as long as you use a quality synthetic (which i'm pretty sure today you have to go LOOKING for to find a non synethic 0W20)
Still I flush the oil every 5k and filter every 10k. Mines mostly highway miles anyways (about 3 out of every 50 mi stop and go), and I usually just cruise @ 65 to save gas also.
Jonny Wadd😂😂😂
Only reason Scotty haven't disowned him is because he's still smart enough to buy 2 Toyotas. Sienna and Tacoma rock solid.
LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Scotty's son is so happy that Scotty moved to Tennessee to change his oil for him.
🤣
Lmao
Horrible son lol
LOL!!

He’s a good man
My 2002 S10 gets a oil change every 2000 miles..WHY?..because our family has a shop & I drive hard city miles ...so yeah my S10 has 200,000 original miles with no engine issues
I change my oil twice a year. Once before winter and once before summer. I ight have 2000 miles on each oil change. Oils cheap, engines not so much.
He made sure he kept his Ford Ranger in mint condition!
@jomax clux yeah for real lol 😂 I’d run it another 3 to 4 thousand miles with no problems

That profile pic 💀
Scotty is not just a mechanic, he is also a skilful orchestra conductor with all these movements he makes with his hands and arms.
Changing my own oil is one of the best parts of owning a car. Oil prices could be cheaper, but it's better than shopping for a car in 2021.
Famous last words..."I don't need a jack stand, it's high enough!"
Scotty needs to consider the possibility of a Chevrolet dealer suddenly releasing that jack, causing the springs to go down past centre.
If Scotty was in there on his back then there would be adequate room if it slipped off the jack. However I note that he was on his shoulder which means he was sideways, and I don't think that if it slipped off the jack there would be enough room that his shoulders wouldn't get crushed.
I don't like to screw around under vehicles without making sure there are stands under the axles to prevent getting crushed. I know of a friend of a friend who was under his car without a jack stand and it slipped off the jack. When his wife found him he was dead, but he most likely suffocated over a period of time with the vehicle on his chest. There was enough room that it didn't crush his rib cage but just trapped in there. If it crushes your ribs and they puncture your lungs, the lungs will fill with blood and you will suffocate that way. Sounds like fun huh?
I feel like Scotty’s son from all the things he has taught me 👍🏻😂
I feel like his red-headed stepchild.
Just a typical vehicle owner.
We're all Scotty's children.
Just don't ask for inheritance, LOL!
He saved me 3k, i didnt realize they sold oil sealers lol, toyota wanted to charge me 3k for ALL new seals
Just did my oil change! I had to buy the jack stands and the right socket to open the oil pan, but quality oil and filter too. It really worth it!
You will save a ton of money just buying a whole socket set
I had to buy all of that for a power steering flush. It was scary having just the front of my car be raised so high :)
That stuff will pay for itself before you know it.
Welcome to manhood.
Start rotating your tires every oil change too.
I still laugh when scotty puts up a chevy dealership when he talks about a dump!🤣🤣
I didn’t notice that until you said it
Imagine having a dad who's a car connoisseur like Scotty. And not changing your oil🥱🤧
Kid's a real rebel, ain't he?
Honestly if i was scottys son id be embarrassed lmao . He doesnt even know what makes good oil. He thinks its just a brand doesnt know whats in it
10k is the recommended interval. Scottys son was right on time according to toyota
I bought my daughter a new car in 2018, and I harped on her so much to change the damn oil on it, that she finally got the message.
I have heard stories about mechanics asking millennials how often they changed the oil they said, "the car had oil in it when it came from the dealership!"
Those of us of a certain age all grew up being car guys to some extent, and to not know that oil has to be changed regularly isnt even conceivable.
Assume nothing with kids these days!
I just change my oil every time Scotty makes an oil change video.
😂
I love how he said his son uses the tacoma for running around and going to the dump then puts a Chevy dealer picture on the screen. 🤣
🤣🤣
He visits the Chevy dealer to dream about owning a C8 lol. Not gonna lie, I said I'd never own a Corvette or GM again, but that C8 is awesome.
He should be putting a Ford dealer up when talking about the dump.
He should have put a dogshit ford dealership there instead
I think Scotty really knows his stuff considering he put a Chevy dealer pic there.
"you don't have to pull, and swear, and slam..." 🤣 🤣 🤣 Scotty must have heard me changing my oil.

Get him a Chrysler
Worse than disowning him
Or a Tesla then no oil to change
It blows my mind how many people buy Chrysler still. You’d think they’d do some research. I knew they sucked before I discovered Scotty.
@@paperandmedals8316 yea its sad
@@eugene44569 my wife has a Chrysler for six years and nothing but oil,brakes filters,wipers
LOL!!
Hey Scotty, you can buy the OEM Toyota filter for roughly $5.70 at any dealer. Its a lot cheaper than many online stores and its a high quality oil filter.
Buy a mobile 1 oil filter instead
buy a wix and never have to worry about it
@John Doe Yeah I was quite surprised when I learned a few years ago. I dont even consider other filters anymore since all cars are toyotas
@@yotaforlife8408 I'll never buy a Wix again. In 34 years of changing my own oil, that's the _only_ filter that's unscrewed itself.

"Going to the dump" - shows Chevy dealer. I'm dying 🤣
I really wanna take a big bag of trash to my nearest Chevy dealer and leave it at the front door. If they ask me what I’m doin I’ll just say I thought this was the local dump.
"One of these days he's going to get disowned" 😂😂
When my son disowned me, I said, " bye you brat, don't ever come back". Of course he never did. 😲🦀
"Going to the dump" - shows Chevy dealership 😂
Kills me everytime he does that
This is the equivalent of the child of a school teacher failing all of their classes. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Even if its just a simple oil change, you know Scotty is gonna film it and share his knowledge with us. Every day, even if its auto things I know, Scotty working hard for us. Thank you man.
When he said “Stick it back in” and then put a pic of Toby 😭😂
Double seals, I only did it once. Lost about a quart in 10 seconds, no problem with damage, just a big mess.
Just leave it till next time. Dont think it would have been an issue
I am still pissed about Turo! Grrr.
Why?
@@thisismagacountry1318 watch Scotty’s post from this weekend. Turo screwed him. It takes time to calm down from something like that 😜
Me too because Scotty doesn't need people around him like that, But I guess He wanted to make $ off of Scotty and the charity Scotty was trying to help out, It's a perfect example for the selfishness of some people, If Scotty were like that he wouldn't tell us anything about Cars just charge for all his info like some other's Do online.
I WILL NEVER USE TURO (or buy a Tesla)!
Been changing oil for friends and family and maintaining work vehicles and engines for decades...
A few years back a buddy stopped by for help on his car including oil change. When he saw the number of different oil filter wrenches with my tools He was amazed. Then I said look is those boxes over there...
Lots and lots of tools. Helps to use the right tool for the job.
The son of the mechanic never changed his oil, he sounds HELLA smart
I own a Toyota Matrix Xr. Even after 5,000 miles. My oil is still at the full line and looking clean.
Scotty to son: "And you call yourself a Kilmer?" You're a disgrace to the family name! Ha!
😅😅
(inserts laughing horse image)
Scotty gonna change his name to "Kilmerson"
Some great advice here Scotty!!! I have 2017 Tacoma and my son has a 2021 Tacoma,both trucks have the 3.5l V-6. I think people really don't understand the importance of regular oil changes on the s trucks (key to long engine life). I tow a small bass boat with my truck and put 15-20k miles a year on my truck. Plus, tow a small boat a few times in the summer. I just purchase the Toyota OEM filter element and drain plug gasket at the local toyota dealer. Then pick-up some quality 0w-20 synthetic oil... Yeah, Toyota says 9-10k oil changes. I do it every 5k just for cheap insurance.
You can get everything Online or Walmart. No need to work with the dealers.
When I did my oil change on my 1984 Bonneville, the 305 had oil in it from at least a decade or more old from the previous owner not maintaining it.
Scotty: My Son Never Changed His Engine Oil, Then This Happened; I changed it.
when i change oil, i let ½ out and i fill up with diesel, then i start engine, rev it a little, go throught the gears (bike on centerstand), and drain the sludge out. really clean bearings
It takes me 5 minutes to remember where my hood latch is under the dash, and 5 more to find that thing you slide to open it. THEN: I do NOTHING because THAT'S ALL I LEARNED!
"Baby steps"
To quote Bill Murray in What About Dave?
Always make sure you can get the filter off first, they are tight.
I don't know why somebody don't promote you to get your own show. I learn so much from you. Bravo.
I got screwed by so many stupid oil change places, I started doing it myself. Scotty’s right. If you can, and know how, do it. You’ll thank yourself
I had a dodge that I put full synthetic oil in and changed it every 10k. It would need around a quart during the 10k, at about 135k I gave the car to someone I knew who was in a bad time in life. He never changed oil since he got the car for free. That engine survived to 225k. He said it was running fine right up to the time it blew. I wonder how long that engine would have gone if he kept up with 10k oil changes.
Sounds like he used to ride the short bus to school...
@@stillnotwoke Actually is a pretty smart person who tried to take too many shortcuts in life. I kinda schooled him just enough to where he's in a much better place in life now.
"it was fine right up until it wasn't"... So it's a good thing the failure suddenly occurred without warning ,,🤣
“Going to the dump” shows a picture of a chevy dealer classic lol
Helpful Tip: When removing the old filter, after it is broke loose, I usually put a plastic baggie to catch the oil instead of spilling it all over the frame or exhaust or steering linkage.
Pro tip:. Make sure you can move the filter a little before you drain the oil, because you may have to take it to the garage if it's stuck! Rob (UK)
So many *helpful nuggets* in this one Scotty! 😎💕👍
7:03 I'd like to shake the hand of the guy that manages to cross thread an oil cap 🤣
Thank you Scotty! One of the greatest auto mechanic in the history of auto mechanics

i love how he's always shitting on chevy it makes me laugh everytime
It’s true though, my buddy just bought a brand new Chevy 2500 with 6.2 liter engine. 30 miles on odometer and truck is back at dealer for faulty ABS module.

Not Mobil One. Do not tighten oil filter any more than 3/4 turn after gasket makes contact with base.
80,000 miles without an oil change sounds like a pipe dream lol, insane to hear it's possible
What kinda pipe dream is that anyway... an oil change is gonna run u no more than 100 in most cars. 😂 protect ur engine folks
Scotty said in previous videos that the car gene skips generations in his family. Scotty's grandfather had it (and a garage in NY); his dad, not so much. Time to get the grandkids in the driveway.
*Pro tip* - leave that baggie of crush washers in the glove box of the car they go to or you'll never remember where u put them! 🤣 Learned that the hard way lol 👍

My 06 tacoma has the top mounted filter...makes 4000 mile change a breeze...
You can do it every 6000
@@erniecarrasco9107 You are 100% correct, but my Taco has 171,000 miles, and 0w-20 oil is cheap.....
10% City Mileage for Highway is a huge stretch. Heat alone is enough to degrade the oils protective properties, so really time is a bigger factor than miles.
My cousin and I both have 1990 pick ups, I have a mazda, he had a chevy. I change my oil regularly, he barely touched the do stick. 10 years later. My mazda made 120k miles and still going strong, he have 50k miles and it makes all kinds of noises.
4:51 WTH Toyota?! What a bad location for an oil filter so the oil spills all over the engine.
I'm glad my Subaru has the oil filter on top of the motor.
Good video 👍

@@brandonlee3892 Lol seriously
Subaru head gasket problems is old news.

Scotty's son after this video: I must religiously change my engine oil regularly or I'll get disowned 😣
I've always been an oil changing fanatic on my Corolla. Not always great on everything else, but oil is the elixer of life. I used to do my own as a kid but now that I am older I use the dealer (or a shop). It does not cost that much even with synthetic.
I have a Cadillac ATS and it has never broken down on me. I had it for 7 yrs and rides like a champ. Some ppl have good luck and some ppl have bad luck.
I would be thrilled to watch a video compilation of Scotty using this quote that's really grown on me for quite a while now:
"As they AGE, they become ENDLESS MONEY PITS."
If he never changed his oil, there would be a Toyota oil filter on it and not a STP after market filter on it!
He said the oil wasn't changed in 10k miles of stop and go driving, not that it was never changed. Conventional oil should be changed 3k miles and synthetic 5k
I was having the hardest time taking my tight filter off and saw the tool you had. It helped me out. thank you scotty!
You don’t really have to tighten the oil filter as much as you physically can, an old shop mechanic taught me that you want to hand tighten till its pretty snug and back off about a quarter turn. This allows an easy removal without it leaking. I do my own oil changes and can remove the oil filter by hand every time. Never had a leak.
Yeah honestly this video is kind of bad advise.
1:09 My Dad taught me the trick.... If the oil looks dirty or smells burnt, it's time to change it regardless of miles.
Great video 👍
Don't do it in a diesel tho....
Have you evaluated different oil filters? I found I get better oil pressure with aFe filters, plus they have 3/8" square attachment for ratchet extension
Those STP oil filters aren't bad ,they are actually made in the same plants & supplier that makes the AC Delco filters, Champ Labs....they make alot of other premium filters for other manufacturers as well including K&N ,& the older Mobil 1 oil filters,
Your Oil Pressure goes UP when the filtering ability goes DOWN.
@@SlikLizrd - Pressure goes DOWN when the filtering holes are so large that oil & metal powder pass through with little resistance.
my sister went to a discount oil change place ... they drained her oil and somehow got things mixed up ... they gave her car back w/o new filter or oil ... she drove it for a mile and it seized ... to their credit, they bought her a new car ... but still it speaks to the idiocy of the caliber of employees at those places
"Oil is cheap" unless you have a 5.7L V8 which takes full synthetic. My last oil change cost $170!
Scotty: I love knowin' what yer teachin'.
One question for Scotty though... When I've done them in the past with my older cars, I used to fill the filter up at least halfway or in some cases, most of the way, with oil if the filter sits upright when attached to the engine. Someone suggested this as it also ensures there is some oil for the engine to pump around when you first start it up. Is this still necessary? (I haven't done oil changes in the past 10 years since getting new vehicles, since I would just have dealers do it but was wondering if this mattered or not).
I'd like to know as well. I change my own oil and always pre-fill the oil filter, usually resulting in a mess and a very slippery filter.
No
It can't harm anything. Theoretically, any time spent pumping air through bearings etc. can cause wear. However, before draining the old oil, you bring the engine up to running temperature - which means there's still a thin film of oil on all engine components, so there's a basic level of lubrication during the few seconds until pressure builds up with the new oil. Just don't rev it up until the new oil has fully circulated.
🤣 when the GM dealership image popped up when he mentioned "going to the dump" 😂
"going to the dump"
"shows Chevy Dealership"
LOL ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE
Scottys son paid the price for the free oil change, by being called out by his dad on CZcams.
Knowing Scotty he probably made his son pay for the oil🤣 which is only fair
More like threw him under the bus...
@@stillnotwoke LOL, should have thrown him under that Tacoma 🤣
Scotty "I had a customer & I'm mad as hell" Kilmer
Changing oil in my cars since I was 14. Dad’s and Sisters’ and Brother’s cars back when. It’s the easiest and cheapest thing to keep your car happy for a long time. Every 3,000 miles, as I learned it nearly 50 years ago. Even though the newer oils can supposedly go longer, I still find the oil to be plenty dirty at 3,000.
Oil changes are so easy and relatively cheap to do it amazes me how many folks engines die because folks just don’t take the time to change the oil 👀
They just forget about it
Its not a laziness thing
Scotty's son: "Dad, I don't do oil changes."
Scotty: 😵😖😭😭😭😭
Disown him! Adopt me. I'm 37, love the family business and I'll never disappoint you.
Weird
Your son didn't change his oil?!? Ahh... he must be going through that, "rebellious" phase. haha!
I like to encase the old filter with a small plastic garbage bag when removing it, to reduce the amount of dirty oil that splatters on stuff.
I have my oil changed once a year, whether it needs it or not with full synthetic. Of course, I only drive 5,000 miles a year.
Good afternoon, Scotty! :)
afternoon!
I use the big cardboard shipping boxes to put under the vehicle to catch any oil drips and soften the ground for me. I turn the boxes inside out to lay on the cleaner cardboard side. Also Costco has a low price on their Kirkland full synthetic 0W-20 oil $25 for 10 quarts.
My auto teacher in highschool taught us the exact same way, but he showed us to take the oil cap off the engine before the draining so it flows better
I went 2 years (but only 4k miles) in my fun car between oil changes. I sent a sample to blackstone labs to get tested (mainly to see what metals were in it). They said I could lengthen my change interval, and that the oil was still good. That was with 3 trackdays on it too, where the oil temps got up to 235-240 degrees. If you use synthetic and a quality filter, you can go longer than 12 months.
Yup, low mileage is also important. If high mileage, it won't help. I did this too with low mileage car.
I've been changing the oil on my Tacoma and my Town Car every 3k miles with synthetic oil and factory Toyota /Motorcraft filter. That's exsesive, every 5k is fine with synthetic, but I'd rather do it too much then not enough. It cost me less then $20 per oil change so why not? Especially on older vehicles, it's important to keep the oil clean! The oil tends to degrade faster on older vehicles.
Must live in Saudi and get oil from the well
Where do you get 6.5 qts of synthetic oil and a filter for under $20? You’re full of it. 💩💩💩💩💩
Kirkland synthetic oil $24.99 for 10 quarts and the motor craft filters are $3.97 at walmart. I think the Toyota filters are $6.97. Both cars only hold 5 quarts too so that helps too! Either way, it's under or around $20 per oil change.
@@mcc7762 The service interval on mine is 5k, but that's with conventional 5-30. I think 5k intervals are perfectly fine for it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. When I first bought the truck I was doing the 5k intervals with conventional because I had the dealership do it and that was the recommended interval and it was fine because I was putting about 1000 miles per month. I have 2 vehicles now and had 3 at one point and when I had 3 I was only putting 3-5k miles on all 3 per year. The other rule I go by is changing conventional every 6 months and synthetic every 12 if I don't hit the milage first. Overkill maybe? But better than letting a perfectly good engine go to waste.
@@joshpeterson7241 That must be fantastic synthetic oil for $2.50/qt. 💩💩💩💩
Gotta love Scotty's body language. I find myself mimicking him,subconsciously.....🤣😁
I'm pretty gentle when I put my drain plug back in. Had trouble with an over-tightened one once; soft steel head rounded off and I spend an hour under the van with a Dremel tool, sculpting it into a shape that I could grip with Vise-Grips. Still had to hit the Vise-Grips with a brass hammer to crack that thing loose. I'll always warn people about over-tightening fasteners.
3 videos a day this man's wild
I have a DeLorean. How often should I change the oil in my flux capacitor? 😏
Nonono, all you need is an electric (or nuclear) reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts and then it'll work just fine!
Wait, it's a DeLorean? Yeah, change the oil regularly, too!
I always start the engine and then check for leaks. Once is 40 years, the old gasket was stuck on the engine and I didn't see it. As soon as I started it, oil squirted out like crazy. So check the gasket, and then to be double safe, check for leaks.
Dump picture!! Love it!!
What’s the difference between Mobil Full Synthetic and Mobile 1? Price? 🤷♂️
One is full synthetic the other is not
"Fully synthetic" stills has mineral oil inside. Only "100% synthetic" is true synthetic.
Most turbo cars are required to use 100% synthetic for high temperature.
He called it Mobil 1, but it wasn't.
Never change your oil, Scotty will scold you 😉
I will also scold you, haha
Well in your case your daddy will scold you🤣😂
@@johncampolo2177 ....what?
Maybe I just want to feel something🤷🏻♂️😝
Scotty will change it for you if you wait long enough. If he hasn’t done yours yet, you haven’t waited long enough.
I caught the GMC dealer here not changing the oil filter and not using synthetic as requested and paid for! Marked the filter and took and oil sample and sent it off to be tested! Wife took it there for a couple years, I heard from some other people that they caught them not filling the oil to the required levels! So I began watching them! They failed miserably! Done with dealers I’ll do it myself
Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W20 and and an Extended Performance oil filter would be a better choice for a driver who is likely to forget or put off changing their oil.
