      We can thank bureaucratic government agencies, the WEF, and a bunch of central bankers for driving everything at automotive manufacturers absolutely bonkers (massive increase in complexity, technology changing constantly, computers doing almost everything, fuel economy agenda so strict that stupid measures are taken to get it). Back in the 80's and 90's things changed so much more slowly and mechanics could keep on top of it.

    This is my second time watching this episode. Still learning… As a teenager I should’ve gone to a tech academy. Now at age 56 I am learning so much! Being a female, I figured I’d marry a mechanic of sorts. Nope. My hubby is not mechanically inclined. So, it’s my son and I. He watches and learns online and I am the bank to use for parts. Because of you, we are in such better shape financially. Thank You for taking time out of your life to help middle class people learn how to survive in this expensive world. You are appreciated beyond adequate words for your advice and honesty. Sincerely, Lisa, Jimmy and my hubby who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons (like lack of mechanical skills and embarrassment for that reason and forgetting to check the oil often enough and other important fluids).

      Lack of mechanical skills is not necessarily an embarrassment. Some people have other things on their mind that keeps their full attention. The myriad details of auto maintenance takes energy away from things that are more important to some people. It's like great writers who can't spell or have poor grammatical skills. They leave all simple, basic ,details to their secretary. Hemingway(as many writers do) left spelling and grammar for his secretary to deal with. Cleaning airflow sensors is equivalent to correcting misspelling or improper grammar.

    Scotty, you're ALWAYS my life saver when it comes to trusted information that no other mechanic can give me. I was gifted a 2010 Scion xb. Previous owner was a female college student. Car had 205k miles on it. Discovered the following- no tune up, or regular maintenance was ever done on the car. Car shortly had a code for the torque converter. Took Scotty's advice for the Lucus trans fix while also doing a trans service on the car. Holy moly does the Lucus Trans fix work. Transmission loved having the very black fluid removed and the mucky magnet cleaned up too. Now time to clean up the injectors and the engine. This car is losing a quart of oil every week. Fingers crossed 🤞 these additives work to save me from losing oil and gas mileage.

    Hey Scotty, I saw my friend Jay do the same thing on an Oldsmobile years ago by using Transmission fluid. The Oil pump was clogged and so he removed the oil and put in Tranny oil for like 5 mins. Maybe a little longer. Drained the Tranny oil and put Motor oil and it fixed the problem. I was a young teenager at the time and I was amazed.

    I've always been untrusting of a mechanic in a can but I'm a old dog who has learned a new trick. The MPH on my 2016 Mazda CX5 started dropping off a tad. Not enough for any codes . Changed air filter and at 115,000 KM it was time to change the plugs as well. Did both without much improvement. Saw this video and tried the Royal Purple. I used a bore scope to check pistons 1 and 4 . Some carbon build up but not excessive. I then added the Royal to a tank of new gas. After 150 KM I checked both pistons and they appear shinny and new. So it does appear to be cleaning something up. My gas mileage has returned to what was expected. I suspect my injectors needed a cleaning. I know it's not a fixall for everything but in this case it addressed my issue. Thanks Scottie..😊

    Regarding the Lucas XMSN Stop Slip: I have an 04 Camry that after I bought it around 280K miles the transmission started making a slight clunk between gears; more often in the summer when fluid was obviously most hot/viscous during the year. Pretty sure the previous owner hadn't changed the fluid much. I drained almost half of the old fluid out and put Lucas Stop Slip in and it's still running at 305K with zero clunking! Will post back here to let you know when it does start to have problems! Pretty impressed with this stuff.
