- čas přidán 4. 05. 2024
- Hello CZcams,
Here is our 3k mile update on our Sludge Factory Kia project we shared four months ago. We wanted to find out if Jake has learned anything from this whole experience. Does he have the confidence and knowledge to change his own oil moving forward.
We take a peek inside the valve cover and split open the oil filter to see if we have any more debris left inside this motor. Follow along the journey and let us know your feedback on this (3) part video series.
Be sure to check out the original video if you haven't seen it - • Customer States Jiffy ...
You can check out the follow up video here - • *UPDATE* Customer Stat...
Cheers!

Having watched all 3 videos (especially this one), I am now not surprised by the oil sludge found in this car.
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the videos. Hopefully Jake has learned something from this experience and will stay on top of his routine maintenance moving forward.
Cheers!
Maybe he'll truly appreciate what you did for him later on down the road. Loved all three vids
Thanks for the kind words Ryan, glad you enjoyed the videos. He is very appreciative of everything we have done for him. It seems like he has a much better understanding on how things work and the importance of performing the routine maintenance.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Great video…. You know he is going back to Jiffy Lube next time….. LOL.
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully he has learned the error of his ways and will continue to change his own oil moving forward. We will continue to monitor things and stay on top of him.
Cheers!

Got a chuckle out of this. Some kids want to know how to do everything on cars, some just don’t care.
Thanks for the comments Carl, we had fun making this one. Jake was trying to act like he knew stuff but then he realized not so much.
Hopefully he can perform his own oil changes moving forward.
Cheers!
Super great he is learning how to change oil. My Dad says you stop learning when your dead. LOL
Thanks for the comments Tony, he is extremely grateful that we are teaching him how to perform the routine maintenance on his car. It seems he can finally appreciate the value in doing these on time. We are always trying to help our the younger generation, hopefully this sticks with him.
Cheers!
Sunglasses, some swag and California license plate....he is going back to Jiffy Lube 😄 You earned a spot in heaven, dad's like you are always needed and treasured, your son's pride is having a handy dad that friends wish they had. I mean it, many times we went on vacation or did sports, or travel. Yet, the memories I cherish and enjoyed the most, and for some reason are the ones I always remember, are working on a car or repairing something at home with my dad.
Thanks for the kind words, it has been great working on projects with my sons. We felt bad for this kid, his Dad never learned anything about cars so he never taught Jake anything. Hopefully he has learned the importance of routine maintenance and will continue to take care of things.
Thanks again for hanging out.
Cheers!
Dipshi! comes to mind for some reason. I do not believe he wants to learn about maintaining his auto. kudos to you for your patience
Thanks for the comments, hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
This is so strange since i was watching my dad change the oil since I was 5 or 6 years old. I'm nearly 50 now and still change my own oil since I'm the only one I trust to do it right. I don't enjoy auto work, but after I had a brake caliper fell off my old truck 5 minutes after I got off the interstate I do as much as I can yo make sure it's done right.
Thanks for sharing Sandman. That is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!
Lot of kids didnt have parents that taught them. Some didnt even have parents in their lives
@@ciello___8307 Our dad had no interest in car stuff... so we learned to do oil changes via trial and error.
He kept an eye on us... even if he didn't change oil himself.
Always feel for those who never had a dad... even worse if both parents are not there.
🙂
P.S. Dad was an orphan and mum spent time in an orphanage when her mum couldn't look after her for a short time. That affected them both greatly.
Changing your own oil is so easy to do and so rewarding. I’m teaching all of our kids how to do it. Basic auto maintenance should be a required class for high school kids. You saved this guy a boatload of money.
Thanks for the comments Pete, we wanted to try to help this young kid out since he knows nothing about cars or routine maintenance. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
Also make sure your kids doesnt become a mechanic, we all know the health issues that comes with it
@@cosmos2382 yeah you make a good point. I’m 45 and a couple of my high school buddies who are mechanics have bad knees or backs from 20+ years of wrenching. The trades are good careers but can be taxing on health for sure.
14:08 "it's a really nice wrench" LOL
Jake using the open end of the wrench when he has a perfectly good ratcheting box to use. Cheers!
I loved it when you politely realigned the ramp. He teaches kids now that they know he skims videos to learn what a waste. What a example to teach children. I'm glad you asked him to watch his language. ❤ God bless you 🙏
Thanks for the comments Billy, glad you enjoyed the video. We will keep tabs on the Kia and make sure Jake does the routine maintenance on time.
Cheers!
I absolutely adore this video 😄 Brought much needed laughter (not "making fun" sort of laughter). "Plus sign screwdriver" is my new favorite! You two should start a Bradleys & Jake Show channel 😃 Don't forget to teach him to write the mileage & date on the oil filter 😉
Thanks for the kind words Mel, glad you enjoyed the videos. Our goal was always to help educate this young kid so he has some life skills moving forward. We agree though, + sign screwdriver was hilarious 😎
Cheers!
This video was actually hilarious “you’re flinging dip stick around”
We had a great time "teaching" Jake how to take care of his car. He still needs a little guidance but he is making progress. Thanks again for hanging out.
Cheers!
Was looking forward to this one.
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers!
Good job teaching and being patient
Thanks for the kind words John, appreciate the feedback. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance moving forward.
Cheers!
Subbed much respect from the uk
Greetings from America, thanks again for hanging out.
Cheers!
Hahaha....are you going to take the oil filter to mc donald? It's good to know that the owner of the car want to learn on how to change the oil on his own. Kudos to Bradley also for his guidance and coaching. We all started to learn from others who are welling to teach us.
Thanks for the kind words Orlando, we will keep tabs on him and make sure he continues to take care of he car. We fee confident now that he know what needs to be done.
Cheers!
We can all laugh, because we've been doing this since before we could legally drive. But, you know he felt accomplished at the end of this and will likely remember it his whole life! Sure, he has quite a bit of growing up to do, but I'm proud of him and proud of you @Bradleys Garage for taking him to school!
Thanks for the kind words Drew, we are happy to help guide him through this entire process. He helped with the other two videos so he got to see first hand what happens when you fail to perform routine maintenance.
We are confident he will stay on top of things moving forward and has learned at least a few things on taking care of his car.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
A word of advise,
Don't put on the undertray until you have refilled and started the car.
That way you can easily verify whether you have any leaks or not.
Thanks for the tips, appreciate the feedback.
Cheers!
The actual standard on how much fluid goes between the Low and the High on the mark on the dipstick depends on your specific car. According to the owner's manual for my car "Adding Engine Oil Quantity 0.7 gt (0.7 L) The quantity of engine oil required to raise the indicated level on the dipstick from minimum to maximum." My advice after looking at this information is to check your owners manual before doing anything you find elsewhere.
Thanks for the comments Lukas, apologies for being general with our statement regarding the dipstick reading. Most manufacturers use the 1 liter/quart for the designation between hash marks. Not sure what vehicle you have but it may be one of the few that don't follow that protocol.
Cheers!
@BradleysGarage As a 17-year-old who has enjoyed doing any sort of fix-it and DIY projects. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comments and thinking everything through before making any sort of blanket statement (blanket statements are usually over-generalizations of complex things with many different variables which you are good at avoiding from what I know about you). Before ending this comment my vehicle that I am talking about is a 2017 ford focus se with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine and a DPS6 transmission.
You broke the algo on that first video. Good job Jake. You learned a lot through this you’ll never forget.
Yeah jiffy will skip changing your oil filter and you’ll be screwing your engine hard. Caught an oil change place doing that - been changing my own ever since. Gets done better.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. The goal will be for him to be able to change his own oil moving forward. Though we may need to still supervise a little, just in case. 😎
That is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
14:15 😂 dude this is funny but good stuff sir
Thanks for the comments Alex, glad you enjoyed the video.
We kept telling him, try to keep the language clean, we are filming here. At this point in the video, after numerous slip ups, we just couldn't stop laughing.
The 20 something year old kids are too much, they just don't listen very well.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Lol! Good video! Surprised Jake didn't take off his sunglasses there under the car to see more. That oil filter opener is cool - I didn't know they had those... I'll have to get one! Yeah, something tells me he will never do another video with you again, or do another oil change on his own either! ;) Lots of good curb surfing scrapes on the bottom of that front bumper cover... hmmm.... I'll be waiting for the upcoming rad repair video! Anyways - good video there and congrats to him for doing the oil change! No scraped knuckles so there is a win! :) PS - Would you mind putting in a link or telling me the model # for your torque wrench? Looks like a Craftsman. Thanks!
Thanks for the comments Rick, we told him to take off the sunglasses but I think he might still be a little embarrassed from the first two videos. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he follows through with the next 3k mile oil change.
Here are the links for the older Craftsman torque wrenches we are using. We just bought a second 3/8" one to have in the truck. I didn't even realize Sears.com was still around but we got the wrench in a few days, brand new in the plastic wrap. The latest ones are $209, so we got these at half the cost. Plus the new ones can only go down to 20 ft. lbs. (vs. 5 ft. lbs.) which is quite high for a 3/8" torque wrench to be versatile.

We all started somewhere fyi. Kudos for trying at least
Thanks for the comments, we are glad he put forth the effort. Even though he was a little cocky in the beginning, it was clear he still has some things to learn. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
I have been involved in auto mechanics since I was 13, my father got me interested, change oil, spark plugs, brakes, shocks, etc... I took auto shop in H.S. 1,2,3,4,5,6. It is more of a passion for me to mod my vehicles and work on it myself. I have no faith in anyone working on it. When I was 13 I took my fathers lawn mower apart without permission, LOL and honed the cylinder some, new rings, put it back together and it ran fine for many years. Anyways I graduated H.S. in 1979 so I just dated myself.
Thanks for sharing, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired.

Lot of high schools dont even have auto shops anymore
on my channel currently working on a 2013 kia forte with 80k miles this video really help me out with mine and what steps to take to get it fixed. thanks
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Be sure to check out the original video if you haven't seen it - czcams.com/video/XU79jXYWydA/video.html
And the initial follow up video here - czcams.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/video.html

Please try Valvoline restore and protect I'd love to see if it actually works, thanks for the series guys! How long was it really before the first oil change on this channel?
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like.
He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation.
Cheers!
And it most likely only had 3 services before he took it over. I think that motor was saved just in time.
I've actually been through this with my 91 Volvo that sludged up during the pandemic. Not from failure to change it but from using non synthetic and never getting it hot. I did similar things. Because it had over 300K miles I changed the rod bearings while the pan was off. Whats key here is the first flush then drop and clean the pan, then the next oil change in 500 miles or less. In my case it was the next change after another 3000 miles before it all cleaned up nice. I also found some metal in the sludge but clearly that was from being trapped in 30+ years of sludge. Anyway my point for the comment is to confirm, yes you need to take all these steps to have any hope of saving the engine.
Thanks for sharing Dave, it was more of a mess than we had anticipated. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage Well mine was far worse if you can believe that so I think you have. Fingers crossed for all of us.
Hi, Bradley. What about that vintage Bimmer, how is it going under its valve cover?
Thanks for the comments Tomas, that is a very good question. We haven't had that valve cover off in over 20 years. We will have to make a video where we adjust the valves just so we can take a peek inside.
Thanks again for hanging out.
Cheers!
Bro he’s actually hilarious
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers!
Oh man, that filter had tons of crap in it! I'd probably be changing the filter itself every 1000 miles between reg oil changes....whewwwwww....wow
Thanks for the comments Ski, I think we might start cutting oil filters open to just see what's inside. That was our first peek inside one so we're not sure what to expect.
Good news it seems like it's doing the job and filtering out those small particles floating around the engine.
We will continue adding the MMO for the next few oil changes to see if we continue to wash out more debris.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
It is a LOL video. 👍 to the owner to show his technical skills 🤫. I really hope he learned to not neglect oil changes and go to real mechanic to do so. I also like that still there was dirt in the filter after all the work in part 1 & 2.
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback. We are also hopeful that he continues to take care of his car. We will keep tabs on him to make sure it gets done.
Cheers!
Gotta fill that new filter with fresh oil
Thanks for the comments Jonathan, there seems to be a lot of debate online on whether or not to prefill the oil filter. We did fill it up on the second video, but let Jake do his thing on this update.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Interesting note. Never heard of this. Makes me think of my Toyota w 100k+ that has the oil filter on topside of the engine pointing downward. Hmm
@@DG-Choc We are used to our Euro cars that use a cartridge style filter so it's not normal for us to be filling up oil filter prior to assembly.
This Kia engine makes it really easy to prefill the oil filter so it's not a bad idea.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage Appreciate the follow up.
Kids like this are those who work at Jiffy Lube😅
He's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will continue to monitor things and help guide him with the routine maintenance.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
I have to prep my filter housing so I take that off first, then drain the pain and prep the housing with a new o-ring and filter while it drains. I never pre-fill, no need. I started changing my own oil 15 years ago after Jiffy Lube cross-threaded my plug and stripped my pan.
Thanks for sharing, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired.

Need to get you a low pro creeper.
We are not a fan of the creepers, we end up just rolling around in the driveway and not having any leverage. We will have to keep killing the back until we can build our garage.
Cheers!
Undertray? Under the car with the sun shining .. you’re “shrouded” in darkness …😊
Sorry for the darkness under the car David, it's tough when the only option is working in the driveway. hopefully one day we will be able to build the garage we want so we can have an actual lift.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
That undertray, is that really needed? If you remove and don't put it back, so the next oil change would be easy to change oil and avoid any hassles. Can he do that?
Thanks for the question Orlando, it is designed to run on the car at all times. Typically the undertray ties in with the fender liners and holds all the plastic pieces tight. While on some cars you could run without it, the manufacturers have it there for cooling and aerodynamic purposes. Some of them are a little tedious to remove but after a couple oil changes you will have it off in no time. Jake had never done it before so it was very new to him. In addition, he's not very mechanically inclined so that too added some time as well.
Cheers!
Can I borrow your hand socket?😂😂😂
Thanks for the comments, it was pretty funny hearing him struggle on what tools are called. Keep in mind this is after him helping out with the previous (2) videos and watching everything we did. Hopefully he has learned enough to change his own oil moving forward.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
What's the compression test say? Yeah you need to try out the valvoline restore and protect and show us the valve covers and bottom end to see if the varnish is gone after 3k miles. And also test the compression before and after 3k.
Thanks for the comments, we checked the compression in the previous video. You can see that info here - czcams.com/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/video.htmlsi=P40Tzl3YxDPJFhrP&t=143
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage I saw that video, but I was hoping to see the difference now that it's all cleaned up 3k miles later. But again, how about using restore and protect from valvoline?
This seems like the perfect engine to test that oil on since there seems to be a stand still for the varnish on the top end. Like the before and after looks the same for the last 3k miles.
And you've definitely got plenty of before and after pictures of the bottom end as well. If it actually does what it says and removed "100 percent of deposits within 4 oil changes" that should mean higher compression and no varnish on the top or bottom end.
I'm running it on my own engine but I unfortunately don't have much to go on cause I didnt take the valve cover off. I did inspect it from the fill cap though.
If you come across a stripped metal fastener that you need to undo. You can take any sort of hack saw, position the hack saw on the exact center of the head of the bolt, and saw away until you can put a penny upside down and see no hair directly connected to Abe Lincoln's FOREHEAD in the groove you cut out of the fastener with your hack saw. Once you have done EVERYTHING listed above CORRECTLY you should be able to take any flat head screwdriver, turn the fastener whichever way loosens the fastener (usually lefty loosy and righty tighty though if that does not work just try turning it right to see if it loosens to make sure you eliminate any possibility of the bolt having reverse threads before doing anything else that takes any extra time), if what I said in the ()'s does not work try using a lubricant called WD-40 by spraying enough WD-40 to cover every visible part of the bolt with a coat of WD-40 and let it sit for 15-30 minutes (or however long the instructions on the can says to wait) before undoing the bolt.
Thanks for the comments Lukas, appreciate the tips.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage This was something I taught myself after having a very hard time getting out a very already rusted/stripped out screw. The only part I learned online was the hacksaw part (which means that all credit on the hacksaw use goes to chrisfix
Good job teaching him..
EDIT: nevermind he’s unappreciative
Thanks for the comments, he's a typical 20 something year old that thinks he knows everything and fails to admit when he doesn't. I think he genuinely has learned the process and we will keep tabs on him to make sure the Kia is running good.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Good to see you are teaching to correct way and not pre filling the filter.
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback.
Cheers!
According to Speed Lake Jr (the Nascar lube specialist) it IS a good idea to to prefill your oil filter). czcams.com/video/939WTeorBnQ/video.html
Wrong. 😂😂😂
@@Chet73 what’s wrong? Me? I’m not wrong. If you knew how oiling systems and filters worked you’d know that. Go back to jiffy lube and keep pretending be a mechanic.
@@sjfk1306 You got my comment wrong.
The "quick change" places are known for scams. They've not actually changed the oil, cross-threaded plugs, failed to properly tighten plugs and under-filled with oil. Many engines have died thanks to them. Do it yourself or take to a dealer so it's covered.
Thanks for the comments, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!
Today's young folks don't knows much about car maintenance, like my stepson, they think maintenance only involves putting gas in the tank. 🤣LOL
Hopefully he has learned from this experience and will stay on top of things moving forward. But if this is the future generation, then we are screwed anyways. 😎
Cheers!
Maybe if your stepson doesn’t know anything about cars, you should teach him about cars, instead of complaining about it when you have the power to make a difference.

If that's the case we are all doomed Christopher. 🙄
This was hard to watch but funny.

Isn´t checking the oil level Drivers Ed 101?
Thanks for the comments Mark, there is just nothing taught in school anymore. The only class left in our district is Woodshop. There is nothing about automotive repair, not even an option to take those types of classes.
So it comes down to what you learn from home and if your parents are not car savvy you will grow up not learning the basics. Hopefully he has a new appreciation for doing your own oil changes moving forward.
Cheers!
They barely teach you how to drive anymore in Drivers Ed. A couple hours of behind the wheel, a little bit of simulation and then they pawn the kid off on the parents and just take their word that they taught their kid the required number of hours.
@@GeneralChangFromDanang Dad taught all us kids, he was a good teacher. We all had D E in highschool...even those of us who already had a license.
A little painful to watch, but everyone has to have a first time 😉
Thanks for the comments, he had the typical 20 something know it all attitude but I think he has enough knowledge now to change his own oil moving forward. He may still need a little supervision but we are happy to keep him in line.

Jake reminds me of a young Armando Montelongo and/or Chris in that one episode, and that is not in a good way.
Thanks for the comments, we have never watched the show so we will have to check it out.
Cheers!
That annoy the hell out of me if he was supposed to watch the video and didn't even bother. Also did anyone ever get him to confess how long it had really been since his last oil change? We know it was more than 6000 miles.
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like.
He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation.
Cheers!
Jiffy Lube $40? Nope, they charge twice that …
Thanks for the comments David, we have no idea how much they charge as we have never been. Cheers!
Kudos for trying, nobody is borning knowing how to do this, a couple more times and you'll an old hat at it. Don't go to Jiffy Lube or any 10 minute lube place your car will thank you for it.
Thanks for the comments Sergio, hopefully he is comfortable moving forward changing his own oil. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he continues to monitor things.
Cheers!
Great video! I just bought my first car, a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, but I know nothing about cars, so thank you for making this video. I'm trying to inform myself the best I can so I can get the most out of this car. However, for a fresh new car should I change the oil in the first 500 - 1000 miles? Another CZcamsr says to do it: czcams.com/video/_6nWCQ_70J0/video.htmlsi=AhM8YbsYOi9cd8dC to get all the initial fresh car gunk out. Do you agree and recommend the same? Also, the same CZcamsr recommends, pre-filling the new oil filter before installation: czcams.com/video/939WTeorBnQ/video.htmlsi=QhGM9otg399_rUce. Do you agree with this too?
Thanks again for making these videos!
Thanks for the kind words Christopher, glad you enjoyed the videos. If you have the pleasure of buying a brand new car, we would definitely change the oil at the 1000 mile mark. This will remove any manufacturing debris that come off after the initial running. All of the cars we have purchased new we have done the 1k mile oil changes. We typically start driving them harder and harder from the 100 to 1000 mile mark. Our belief is to drive it like you want it be trained to run. Since we want ours to rip every time we get in it, we ramp them up pretty fast to the 1k mark.
We did prefill the oil filter during the second video in the series. You won't believe how divided the internet is on "to fill" or "not to fill" the oil filters. On this particular Kia model, it's vertical so it's easy to do and definitely won't hurt anything to prefill it.
Most of the cars we play around with are Euro cars that use a cartridge style filter which cannot be "prefilled" hence the reason why it's not top of mind for us.
Thanks again for hanging out, enjoy that Subie.
Cheers!
Im 17 and i change the oil on my car this guy lazy 😂
Thanks for the comments Noah, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. The goal will be for him to be able to continue to change his own oil moving forward.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
He said Jiffy Lube 😮😮😮 that is GREAT BIG NOOOOO
They will scam you for sure !!!
Thanks for the comments, hopefully he has learned the error of his ways and will never step foot in there again.
Cheers!
enjoy the pain of watching a noob working under a car... LOL
Thanks for the comments, it was fun watching him struggle under the car. He had no idea of what it was like to lay on your back and do the work in the driveway. Hopefully he has a new appreciation for doing your own oil changes moving forward.
Cheers!
Can you just leave the covers off? Aren’t they just there to keep kids like this from doing their own work? Not a bad idea to keep kids from ruining things.
You could run it without the lower pan but it's cleaner and probably more aerodynamic with it on. Cheers!
Sad generation 🫣

They are paid to up sale you things you do not need
It seems like he can perform the oil change himself moving forward so we have a small amount of hope that he continues to take care of this little Kia.
Cheers!
It's amazing how many kids are like this today. No testosterone 😅
Thanks for the comments JR, it's funny how they think they know everything. Clearly that's not the case even though he helped on the first two videos.
Hopefully he can manage to change his own oil moving forward from this point.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
@@BradleysGarageI wouldn’t help him anymore. He seems ungrateful
jr I will Out lift you, and your whole family :)
He’s way to arrogant to do an oil change
Thanks for the comments Kevin, he tried to make it seem like he knew some things. Then when faced with questions, the deer in headlights look came out. It was fun to watch him struggle to find the answers.
Hopefully he has learned enough to change his own oil moving forward.
Cheers!
I'm sorry, but I've never met anyone like that who knows nothing about cars, except most women. My dad, uncles, most in my family were teaching us kids about cars at the age of 5, this is rediculous.

Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have family members that know how to work on cars and can teach. We are just trying to educate one lost kid at a time. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor long term.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
what have they done to these kids they are useless.
As you could tell, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. He did a decent job changing the oil this time. We will continue to monitor things and help him out on the next 3k oil change.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
This guy has a trash personality, like you want to like the guy but he's the type of guy that will cut corners.
Blasphemes and cusses like a sailor! He would fit right in the NAVY.
Thanks for the comments, it seems like he was still trying to act smart even though he's the one that got us into this mess in the first place. He didn't want to be on camera, guess he was a little embarrassed, that's why he never even took off his sunglasses. 😎
Hopefully he has learned the importance of routine maintenance and will take of things moving forward.
Cheers!
Retired Navy here. 23 years. No, he wouldn't.
