I drive a 22 year old 2000 toyota camry CE. The thing is still kicking. I've just changed the timing belt and evap canister. Parts are cheap and though it may not be the fastest thing in 4 wheels, it gets me around comfortably. I change the oil every 6 months or 4000 miles whichever one is sooner. All I know, is that I don't see too many other cars it's age running around my area. :)
I once serviced a Mazda van with 106,000 miles on it, which the owner said had never been serviced since it was new. I knew the owner, and believed this, especially when I saw the condition of the spark plugs. It survived at least another couple of years, until he sold it on.
I bought a 2005 Forester new and gave it to my daughter at about 85k miles. She had the oil/filter changed at a Subaru dealer. I got the car back, did an oil/filter change, and the filter had been installed (at the dealer) so tightly I had to jab a screwdriver through it and it took all my strength to remove ii, using the long screwdriver for leverage. Utterly crazy!
The first time I changed the oil filters on my mate's Sterling lt9500 I had to poke holes through them get my largest screwdriver and hammer it through then take the coolant filter and bracket off, remove the driver side wheel and put a 4foot cheater pipe to take it off. Not sure how it happens sometimes, maybe pulling vacuum in the crankcase somehow? He and his farmer dad had supposedly changed the oil after buying it but surely they couldn't have tightened it that much by themselves.
They self tighten, especially if you over tighten them when they are installed. Most spin on filters have printed on them “tighten 3/4 turn (amount varies on different filters) after gasket contacts base. Especially bad if no oil is put on the gasket when filter is installed.
In 2010 I bought a 2007 Hyundai Santa fe I changed the oil myself every 3 to 4 months. Its now November 2023 and the "Old Girl " still runs great with 338,000 kilometers on the clock
When I was working at a tire shop attached to a big-name department store, we weren't allowed to do anything but tire related stuff. A woman comes in with a new Chevy equinox and tells us that her car "ran out of oil" and asked us to put some in. We told her if the maintenance minder on the dash board is giving you a percentage of the oil life, that doesn't mean it ran out, and to take it to a mechanic because we weren't allowed to help her. We watched as she went inside, bought a 5 quart jug of the cheapest stuff she could find and pour it all in in the parking lot without draining the old oil. We were telling her the entire time to take it to a mechanic and not add more oil, but she insisted that she could "save some money and not be ripped off" by doing this. 2 weeks later, our local mechanic shop that we sent customers like her to said they drained 9 quarts of oil and a bunch of large sparkly flakes out of am equinox and that the customer insisted we told her to put it in. You seriously can't fix stupid
Well, I blame dealers at this point. I took my chevy spark to dealer for oil change and they gave me an estimate for $1500 maintenance which includes coil replacement, check something something, rotate tires, wheel balance, Oh also replace wiper blades for $75. It was 12000 miles on this car none of them needed other than oil change. This is rip off and I understand why they don't want to go to dealer. Most of people say ok for this estimate and realized later it's too late. 🙂 They charge $100-$120 for oil change and basic multi-point inspection. This is crazy.
@Lassi Kinnunen it's under warranty but these are consumable parts and service so these are additional. I am sorry that was 15k which was 3rd time I visited the dealership first 2 oil changes covered by Chevy.
@@emredikici that's why you *lease* a Toyota instead, if you drive 12k miles or less per year... During the first 2 years of your lease, all maintenance is free & Toyota is better than Chevy any day of the week.
I work at a Subaru dealership, I’ve seen multiple people go 30,000 miles before an oil change it’s crazy, and the black factory Subaru filters are always extremely tight in the first place. Also if it’s a new car and it’s got a blue filter with a white paint mark that’s also a factory filter
But have you seen actual problems from these long oil change intervals. like blown engines? In Europe some cars are spec'ed for 2year/50.000km between oil changes if they are diesel. Big trucks (that will do more than 1.000.000km in their life) are spec'ed usually for 100.000km oil changes.
@@paouvous oh yeah those cars had tons of metal we caught on magnets. The 50,000 mile car it killed all the small oil passages and oil sensors had to get a new engine
Kind of cool how you can see the Japanese innovation. the oil filter has a lip around it so when you take it off to change it, the oil inside it doesn't spill down onto the engine.

Your comment is absolutely true. The general public would be astonished by the atrocities dealers, auto body tech and mechanics do to cars and people have no idea. “Reputable” dealerships are included. The best way to know you aren’t getting screwed over is to either know what to look for, or take a trusted mechanic with you to look over vehicle. Read up on what your getting done. Become knowledgeable. And always get second opinions. It’s actually so sad how true your comment is.
Yes they will tell that . I trading in old car and it was a piece of jump I think they give me $150 for it the person called and asked me about the truck and what kind of condition was it in the salesman told him that it was one owner well maintained by me I didn't maintain it when I had it but it was a piece of junk I told a man if I was him I would not buy the truck and go somewhere else because that dealer was lying to me
I worked as a field service engineer for a Massey Ferguson tractor dealership for 14 years from 1965 . About 1975 I was on site fitting a new clutch to a Massey tractor we were just about finishing when the farmer came up to me and asked could we do an oil change on one of his other tractors so I said yes no problem. The tractor was a TEA20 grey furgy from about 1950 so about 25 years old. I told my apprentice to drop the oil and change the filter, he dropped the oil and then he came up to me and said he couldnt get the oil filter out of the canister it was the paper element type in a can. After fifteen mins he still hadnt got the filter out of the can so I said give it here your useless, it took me ages to get the filter out I had to break it out in small pieces that looked more like coal it was absolutely solid it hadnt been a filter for a very long time eventually I got to the bottom of the filter with a hammer and a screwdriver. I asked the farmer when was the filter last changed he said it had never been changed in 25 years.
Judging by the massive ass dent on the front I'd assume this person probably didn't have to pay for the car themselves based on how poorly maintained it is.
Well, my sister bought a brand new Chevy once. Within a week she already fucked up the rear end backing up in an alley, and 2 years later the timing belt broke due to neglect, screwing up the engine. Fuel pump died due to running the car with an eternal low fuel alert. Some people just don't care.
you dont know many subaru owners do you? Subaru owners like the 'set it and forget it' approach. They were probably reaching for a bag of nuts and rolled into a 15 year old prius. they both got out. shrugged it off and kept going. Cars dont matter when you're a Subaru person. Oil change? Its probably posted on a sticky note somewhere in their house but its just so easy to forget when you're a Subaru person. Get a new subaru every 10 years because at 180,000km and zero maintenance they just 'wear out'. Ive seen it with my own eyes lol.
Have a compression test done to check for piston ring wear (if practical) This is the best way to tell how well engine has been maintained. Insufficient oil changes will lead to rapid ring wear. If car fails dry/wet compression test, walk away.
My Megane diesel has 18,000 mile intervals. It's 14 years old and has done 150,000 miles. It runs perfectly giving around 60 mpg and never burns a drop of oil. Modern engines running fully synthetic oils do not need 1940s dino oil intervals. 25,000 mioes is a bit far though.
Hey, I am independent female who drove 236k miles on a Toyota. By the time; I got ripped off at my 50k mile oil change it was time for me to pick up wrench and DIY. Six years later; I became Toyota technician.
I changed the oil on a junk lawn mower with a “seized” engine. The oil came out like molasses...I took a video twirling it with a screwdriver as it came out. I added new oil and couldn’t believe it started on the first pull. Change the oil two times afterward and it ran great.
I got a ride from a young female friend of mine a number of years back. While driving I glanced at the dashboard and noticed a red flashing oil indicator light. I pointed it out and commented on it. She said oh I know it always happens, it lets me know when it’s almost time to add some oil. When it stays on I add some. I said that’s a low or no oil pressure warning and your engine could blow. Some people I tell ya. 😂😂😂
Funny you say that, but windows defender is more than enough for 99% of users on the internet. It's actually quite good and as long as you don't look for shady snuff videos or some weird porn you're good with only having it.
I bought a car like this and ran it to 70k with no problems. Changed the oil and filter every 6 months. Engine felt very loose but otherwise didn’t burn any noticeable oil.
For some people, choosing the right hair and fingernail color is more important than maintaining a $30,000 investment, and when the car dies, they'll say it was a crappy car and vow to never buy another one.
Come on everyone, who would expect their oil to be low after only a couple years? I paid $800 to change my exhaust bearing on a new car, to this day I don't understand why it would've failed so quickly. They topped off the reverse light fluid as well even though I'd never had a problem. The linear polarity reversing heated seat modulator that is apparently bad needs replaced as well but I couldn't afford it at the time but they said I might get lucky and it won't need done until next month so I'll be using my tax return to take care of that. The crappy thing is the mechanic said these are all normal wear parts so my warranty doesn't cover any of them and that ads an extra 10% to the bill because he has to fill out extra paperwork notifying them it's not their fault. New cars aren't what they used to be.
I bought a Grand Marquis as a winter beater and never intended it to last that long. I ended up changing the oil after 20,000 miles. that was 2 or 3 years ago and it's still my daily driver.
@David DDM not really just crack the filter before you lift it. Drain oil and the oil in the filter will drain back. No clean up. When you don't crack the filter on these and drain the oil and crack it after the drain back will release then you have a mess like in this video.
yoyo 19 i agree with you, i’d rather have it upside down or even horizontal than straight up like that. I can fill my filter up with new oil before screwing it on and the “dry” part of the first start up is almost non-existent. It builds pressure for about 1-2 seconds MAX. The vast majority of engine damage is 20 seconds after ANY startup. Just makes more sense to me...
I use to work at a Toyota Dealership in Ontario Canada and witnessed 2 leased vehicles that never had an oil change in over 3 years. Both engines were seized and when disassembled, both oil pans were full of really thick sludge. Both customers couldn't prove oil changes and both had to pay for new engines.
Years ago I knew somebody through a friend. This was in the 1980's. He bought a new car, did not perform a bit of maintenance and somewhere around 55k miles the engine seized. I keep all my cars between 100k miles and 200k miles and none burn any significant oil ever.
To be fair it’s not like he went out and dropped 60k on his daughter. She was probably leaving for college he wanted to get her something that would be reliable (if you change the oil). If he saved 1k a year since she was born he’d have enough for a new Subaru.

I’ve personally known some people who think getting oil changes are scams. And when their car dies in the middle of an intersection, they curse the manufacturer for making a crappy car.
I had a friend in high school that was driving a Chevy Corsica with a GM 3.1V6 I think. The oil filter had been on the car so long the brand could not be read. I had my friend pickup a case of Mobil-1 15W50 and a pint of B12 Chemtool. This was around 1991. No one in his family knew when the oil had been changed last. I also made him pick up a case of ATF and a transmission filter. No oil was reading on the dipstick. So I had him put one quart of Mobil1 in and the 1 pint of B12 Chemtool and it was a 10 minute drive to the auto shop. We took it to the Army's "Auto Craft Shop" put it on a lift and got to work changing the oil, ATF and brakes. The oil was so thick it took it came out about the consistency of ketchup. Everyone had to come over and check it out and give him a hard time for not changing the oil more often! 2 weeks latter he told me he could not believe how well the car was running he was amazed he could feel the difference!
Yes- the factory tightens them very tight-My Impreza was like that - I changed the oil and filter after 2,200 KM- then at 6000 KM I will let the dealer do the service then 6 mths later I will change oil and filter at home.
23k miles is bad, but I wouldn't think damaging in any way. I always wonder about those 3 year leases people turn in. How long between oil changes they go.
I change oil twice a year on my fleet of vehicles. On my main service van that works out to 20 to 30k between every change. It was in service until last year and had 600k on it when I sold it. It would use about 1 quart per 30k. BTW I use 5w30 conventional in winter and 10w30 conventional in summer. The van with 600k was a GMC with a 4.8
he didnt try to cover it up :) the camera has a flash on it - the license plate is reflective. he wanted to show it was from Quebec so he put his hand there so the reflection from the plate wouldnt blow out the image.
When an advert specifically says lady owner I tend to avoid them for this reason, a worker of mine his mother had never had her car serviced and she drove the car for 4-5 years. she only had it in the garage because it just stopped on her one day, because it had burnt so much oil it blocked the cat and choked the engine out. She sold the car to the garage and bought a new second hand car. After the car was bought engine on her old car had about 3-4 engine flushes ran through it, the cat was removed and filled with a strong mix of dpf cleaner and acid based tfr (triffic film remover), then put back on after pressure washing clean. New spark plugs and full service, some budget brake pads, a much heavier grade of oil and it actually didn't run too bad, the heavier grade of oil really helped with the oil burning issue, and the car was sold. It was a little Suzuki, not sure exactly what model. Some people just don't care about their vehicle, then complain when they have an issue or it lets them down. Really annoys me when people do that.
The license plate has reflective additives in the paint that would have messed with the automatic white balance. He covered it up so you could see they are a frenchie from Quebec.
Alot of people.... After being in the repair/service industry for better part of a decade nothing will surprise you with what people do and negligence and laziness that follows. Its a throw away and buy and replace society
You dropped the ball on this one as far as making content goes. If you'd of saved a sample and sent it out for analysis the findings would of been really interesting to see. Was the oil still good was it way past it's service we'll never know.
My friend's dad bought a new 1980 Pinto. He never changed the oil after the dealer changed the break-in oil. The engine seized 7 or 8 years later at 70k miles. The 4 cyl Pinto had a tough engine.
I remember when my aunt told my uncle once that all she ever did was put Gas in the car , when my uncle checked the oil that dipstick was bone dry 😬 I called that Camry the terminator because it survived my aunt (200,000 miles+)
When manufactures built things to last even if you drove it hard and ignored service. This car only got away because of the longer service life of synthetic oil.
With that high mileage without changing the oil. I would change new synthetics oil with BG109 Engine Performance Restore BG EPR and run it for 20 to 30 minutes to clean all that dirty oil in the engine, then I'll put a new fresh synthetics oil. That is the right way to restore the engine.
Non turbo Subarus are pretty tough, if it had that much oil still, its for sure good. In my 13 years experience with Subaru all Subarus burn oil, some more than others. I used to drive up the infamous parleys canyon 5 days a week with mine. And later I used it to tow my motorcycles cross country.
Most likely the bypass valve has been tripped and the oil is not being filtered. Better to have the oil circulate unfiltered than no oil circulate at all.
With it being the original oil from factory it wouldn’t be worth looking in the filter IMO. You’re going to have stuff from break in hiding everything you’re looking for. It would be the next oil change, hopefully sooner than the standard scheduled one I would go looking in it.
What's the news? Changed regularly every 37000 miles/ 2 years (according to OEM spec) on my old car, no issues whatsoever. Sold it with 285000km running like new
I'd be pretty confident that it is not far from toast. With oil that black with carbon it is likely that this Subaru's horizontal cylinders will be worn oval as many Subaru motors do. I'd bet that it already is 20% down on compression. The way the oil bubbles when it is draining shows that the antifoam component has stopped working so the oil has very much lost a lot of its function.
@@alextran8188 Lucky yes, in that it still was running. But if she has never changed the oil and it only drained that small amount, the inside of the engine is where you'll find the rest. sludge on every surface. Guaranteed. it is what oil does when it goes this long without a change. the lighter compounds evaporate. the additives break down. the heat cycles within the engine basically turn the engine into a refracting tower which slowly splits oil into its components. The oil also gets polluted by unburnt fuel which makes it past the rings (yes, even in new engines. just less so), carbon and this degrades the oil further. that oil is probably 10% as effective compared to new as a lubricant. Oil in this condition is the worst thing for all the gaskets and seals, so it will be a leaky motor in time. I think this engine will be toast pretty soon. 10-30 thousand km (6-18 thousand miles). it will blow oil at initially, then lose compression and power. soon after it will either foul the plugs too much to start or a big-end bearing will hit its wear limit and it will throw a conrod. you're also right she's "lucky" that this is a near new late model. if you didn't change the oil for that long in a car with 100k on the clock, you probably wouldn't need to change the oil at this point because it would be far far worse. especially a Subaru engine.
And the engine warranty won’t cover it when it breaks down. When the mechanic at the dealership opens it up and finds all that black sludge inside it will automatically void the warranty and a huge repair bill will be handed to her. If I was her dad I would advise her to trade it and get a new one. And to strongly advise her to change the oil on the next one she gets. Don’t even know how some people don’t understand cars need maintenance.
Much easier than my f150. They put some type of oil catcher under the filter. Made it a real bitch getting the filter off. Also the bolts were rusted on so couldn't just unbolt it . Before I started the second oil change I took a saws all n cut it off. MUCH EASIER !!!!
Pretty much all Subaru's are like that and then some Hyundai's. There are others but can't remember. 2020 Diesel chevy impala and Austin Mini's are the absolute worst
@@pfc6329 fuck that man. My job is to change oil and whenever I'm working bottom side on one of those I need someone to help me because I'm too short for those fuckers
Sadly, I partially blame the manufacturers - my owners manual actually shows 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first for 'normal' driving conditions...local mechanics have always said 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first...😮
I remember seeing a Mustang that had overheated and I asked the owner when was the last time she changed the coolant and oil. She had no idea what I was talking about.
Not really that big of a deal, you're already going to have to be under the car to drain the oil so not really saving time by having it in the engine bay
@@Striker50_ true but most people who change their own oil don’t have a lift where they can jack up a car and get underneath it easily they’ll most likely use a jack which only raises the car about 2-3 feet so you’ll have to lay down to remove the filter which is a pain. I think it is a great idea having the oil filter up on top.

Some folks just can't see the forest for the trees
I met a girl that never changed her oil. She didn't know you had to. She thought the reason you changed your oil was if you were a racer or high performance and wanted more power.
Not ideal but not the end of the world.I was doing 15000km intervals on a 2011 Holden Commodore Omega. Now has 322000kms on it, runs well, has original timing chains which the internet thinks is insane and burns very little oil between services.
my sister gifted me her 2016 vehicle last year. Lo and behold, I find out that she has only changed her oil ONCE in 5-6 years. it's a miracle that thing was still able to run for fucks sake
To do this oil change right, once that old oil is drained, put the plug back in, and add 3-4 quarts of some cheap oil, run it a few minutes, then drain it again. That will get most of the remainder of the old oil out. THEN fill with fresh synthetic and a new filter.
@@left4worldsins No. Not at all. As long as there IS oil in the motor its fine. Conventional oil can be used in ‘full synthetic cars’. My brothers 2019 Nissan maxima has used conventional oil through its entire 50,000 mile life… No damage or issue at all All you have to do is change the oil more frequent. About 4-5k miles between every change instead of the 7-10k using synthetic.
Great location but mounting it open-end down means there's a good chance the oil drains out of it every time the engine is off. Better to have it mounted open-end up to keep the filter full of oil.
Audi ... Subaru ... both will burn oil or self destruct after 100K ... edit - there are some that run very well and owners love them but the fact remains too many have unacceptable issues. LET THE BUYER BEWARE
Most new design have the oil filter this way and dealership directive is to suction the oil from the dip tube rather then drain. Less time, parts and mess for a routine oil change. But its not great for the engine, oil can back drain if the car is not used frequently and not draining from the bottom accumulates sediments that could turn into sludge at the bottom of the pan.
My cousin does the same thing to her Versa in Turkmenistan. I visited her once and her engine was making weird noises with sparks flying out of the exhaust. I check the oil and the dipstick was completely dry. I then asked when was the last time she changed the oil? She said: What's an oil change? I added about 3 quarts of oil and perhaps saved the engine.
My neighbor bought a brand new Nissan Frontier truck. Used it to pull lawn trailers, etc. heavy duty use. He came to me one day and asked if I could help him change the oil. I asked him where he was getting it serviced at. He said it had not been serviced yet….had 23,000 miles on it. Factory fill and factory filter still on. Oil was pretty dark and I cut open the filter and it had held up surprisingly. I finally got him to do 7500 mile OCI. We moved after that, so not sure how well it’s maintained now……scary stuff.

I bought a 2005 Forester new and gave it to my daughter at about 85k miles. She had the oil/filter changed at a Subaru dealer. I got the car back, did an oil/filter change, and the filter had been installed (at the dealer) so tightly I had to jab a screwdriver through it and it took all my strength to remove ii, using the long screwdriver for leverage. Utterly crazy!
The first time I changed the oil filters on my mate's Sterling lt9500 I had to poke holes through them get my largest screwdriver and hammer it through then take the coolant filter and bracket off, remove the driver side wheel and put a 4foot cheater pipe to take it off.
Not sure how it happens sometimes, maybe pulling vacuum in the crankcase somehow?
He and his farmer dad had supposedly changed the oil after buying it but surely they couldn't have tightened it that much by themselves.
They self tighten, especially if you over tighten them when they are installed. Most spin on filters have printed on them “tighten 3/4 turn (amount varies on different filters) after gasket contacts base. Especially bad if no oil is put on the gasket when filter is installed.
In 2010 I bought a 2007 Hyundai Santa fe I changed the oil myself every 3 to 4 months. Its now November 2023 and the "Old Girl " still runs great with 338,000 kilometers on the clock
Those are good, the engine is from Mitsubishi 😂
@@davewilson7602 Yes, some older Hyundais are good. Some of their modern stuff with turbos and gdi are junk.
When I was working at a tire shop attached to a big-name department store, we weren't allowed to do anything but tire related stuff. A woman comes in with a new Chevy equinox and tells us that her car "ran out of oil" and asked us to put some in.
We told her if the maintenance minder on the dash board is giving you a percentage of the oil life, that doesn't mean it ran out, and to take it to a mechanic because we weren't allowed to help her. We watched as she went inside, bought a 5 quart jug of the cheapest stuff she could find and pour it all in in the parking lot without draining the old oil. We were telling her the entire time to take it to a mechanic and not add more oil, but she insisted that she could "save some money and not be ripped off" by doing this.
2 weeks later, our local mechanic shop that we sent customers like her to said they drained 9 quarts of oil and a bunch of large sparkly flakes out of am equinox and that the customer insisted we told her to put it in.
You seriously can't fix stupid
if a little oil is good, more is better, right? and too much is just right.
Well, I blame dealers at this point. I took my chevy spark to dealer for oil change and they gave me an estimate for $1500 maintenance which includes coil replacement, check something something, rotate tires, wheel balance, Oh also replace wiper blades for $75. It was 12000 miles on this car none of them needed other than oil change. This is rip off and I understand why they don't want to go to dealer. Most of people say ok for this estimate and realized later it's too late. 🙂 They charge $100-$120 for oil change and basic multi-point inspection. This is crazy.
@Lassi Kinnunen it's under warranty but these are consumable parts and service so these are additional. I am sorry that was 15k which was 3rd time I visited the dealership first 2 oil changes covered by Chevy.
Her husband and their wallets must be sooo proud 🤣🤣🤣

But have you seen actual problems from these long oil change intervals. like blown engines? In Europe some cars are spec'ed for 2year/50.000km between oil changes if they are diesel. Big trucks (that will do more than 1.000.000km in their life) are spec'ed usually for 100.000km oil changes.

Sadly, when she trades this car in for a new one, the dealer will tell the new owner it was well maintained by the previous owner.
@Eviscerate you tell yourself that buddy. I’m a car salesman.
Your comment is absolutely true. The general public would be astonished by the atrocities dealers, auto body tech and mechanics do to cars and people have no idea. “Reputable” dealerships are included. The best way to know you aren’t getting screwed over is to either know what to look for, or take a trusted mechanic with you to look over vehicle. Read up on what your getting done. Become knowledgeable. And always get second opinions. It’s actually so sad how true your comment is.
With every used car I ever bought from a dealer, when I asked about its history they'd always say "I dunno".
Yes they will tell that . I trading in old car and it was a piece of jump I think they give me $150 for it the person called and asked me about the truck and what kind of condition was it in the salesman told him that it was one owner well maintained by me I didn't maintain it when I had it but it was a piece of junk I told a man if I was him I would not buy the truck and go somewhere else because that dealer was lying to me

I worked as a field service engineer for a Massey Ferguson tractor dealership for 14 years from 1965 . About 1975 I was on site fitting a new clutch to a Massey tractor we were just about finishing when the farmer came up to me and asked could we do an oil change on one of his other tractors so I said yes no problem. The tractor was a TEA20 grey furgy from about 1950 so about 25 years old. I told my apprentice to drop the oil and change the filter, he dropped the oil and then he came up to me and said he couldnt get the oil filter out of the canister it was the paper element type in a can. After fifteen mins he still hadnt got the filter out of the can so I said give it here your useless, it took me ages to get the filter out I had to break it out in small pieces that looked more like coal it was absolutely solid it hadnt been a filter for a very long time eventually I got to the bottom of the filter with a hammer and a screwdriver. I asked the farmer when was the filter last changed he said it had never been changed in 25 years.
Judging by the massive ass dent on the front I'd assume this person probably didn't have to pay for the car themselves based on how poorly maintained it is.
Well, my sister bought a brand new Chevy once. Within a week she already fucked up the rear end backing up in an alley, and 2 years later the timing belt broke due to neglect, screwing up the engine. Fuel pump died due to running the car with an eternal low fuel alert. Some people just don't care.

you dont know many subaru owners do you? Subaru owners like the 'set it and forget it' approach. They were probably reaching for a bag of nuts and rolled into a 15 year old prius. they both got out. shrugged it off and kept going. Cars dont matter when you're a Subaru person. Oil change? Its probably posted on a sticky note somewhere in their house but its just so easy to forget when you're a Subaru person. Get a new subaru every 10 years because at 180,000km and zero maintenance they just 'wear out'. Ive seen it with my own eyes lol.
This is what scares me about buying used cars...
Why not change the oil after you got it home? That's what my dad did when he bought his 2009 Toyota Corolla Altis
"Driven by a young lady, no street racing!"
That doesn't reassure me...
Have a compression test done to check for piston ring wear (if practical) This is the best way to tell how well engine has been maintained. Insufficient oil changes will lead to rapid ring wear. If car fails dry/wet compression test, walk away.

if you have a trusted buddy mechanic who knows how check. is fine

My Megane diesel has 18,000 mile intervals. It's 14 years old and has done 150,000 miles. It runs perfectly giving around 60 mpg and never burns a drop of oil. Modern engines running fully synthetic oils do not need 1940s dino oil intervals. 25,000 mioes is a bit far though.

I changed the oil on a junk lawn mower with a “seized” engine. The oil came out like molasses...I took a video twirling it with a screwdriver as it came out. I added new oil and couldn’t believe it started on the first pull. Change the oil two times afterward and it ran great.
I got a ride from a young female friend of mine a number of years back. While driving I glanced at the dashboard and noticed a red flashing oil indicator light. I pointed it out and commented on it. She said oh I know it always happens, it lets me know when it’s almost time to add some oil. When it stays on I add some. I said that’s a low or no oil pressure warning and your engine could blow. Some people I tell ya. 😂😂😂

I bought a car like this and ran it to 70k with no problems. Changed the oil and filter every 6 months. Engine felt very loose but otherwise didn’t burn any noticeable oil.
That was probably the first time the hood has been opened since it left the Subaru plant.
For some people, choosing the right hair and fingernail color is more important than maintaining a $30,000 investment, and when the car dies, they'll say it was a crappy car and vow to never buy another one.
Never even changed the blinker fluid
Come on everyone, who would expect their oil to be low after only a couple years? I paid $800 to change my exhaust bearing on a new car, to this day I don't understand why it would've failed so quickly. They topped off the reverse light fluid as well even though I'd never had a problem. The linear polarity reversing heated seat modulator that is apparently bad needs replaced as well but I couldn't afford it at the time but they said I might get lucky and it won't need done until next month so I'll be using my tax return to take care of that. The crappy thing is the mechanic said these are all normal wear parts so my warranty doesn't cover any of them and that ads an extra 10% to the bill because he has to fill out extra paperwork notifying them it's not their fault. New cars aren't what they used to be.

@David DDM not really just crack the filter before you lift it. Drain oil and the oil in the filter will drain back. No clean up. When you don't crack the filter on these and drain the oil and crack it after the drain back will release then you have a mess like in this video.
I used to have a 1992 Subaru wagon that had oil filter in the same place. It's a boxer engine thing.
yoyo 19 i agree with you, i’d rather have it upside down or even horizontal than straight up like that. I can fill my filter up with new oil before screwing it on and the “dry” part of the first start up is almost non-existent. It builds pressure for about 1-2 seconds MAX. The vast majority of engine damage is 20 seconds after ANY startup. Just makes more sense to me...

I use to work at a Toyota Dealership in Ontario Canada and witnessed 2 leased vehicles that never had an oil change in over 3 years. Both engines were seized and when disassembled, both oil pans were full of really thick sludge. Both customers couldn't prove oil changes and both had to pay for new engines.
Years ago I knew somebody through a friend. This was in the 1980's. He bought a new car, did not perform a bit of maintenance and somewhere around 55k miles the engine seized. I keep all my cars between 100k miles and 200k miles and none burn any significant oil ever.

I had a friend in high school that was driving a Chevy Corsica with a GM 3.1V6 I think. The oil filter had been on the car so long the brand could not be read. I had my friend pickup a case of Mobil-1 15W50 and a pint of B12 Chemtool. This was around 1991. No one in his family knew when the oil had been changed last. I also made him pick up a case of ATF and a transmission filter. No oil was reading on the dipstick. So I had him put one quart of Mobil1 in and the 1 pint of B12 Chemtool and it was a 10 minute drive to the auto shop. We took it to the Army's "Auto Craft Shop" put it on a lift and got to work changing the oil, ATF and brakes. The oil was so thick it took it came out about the consistency of ketchup. Everyone had to come over and check it out and give him a hard time for not changing the oil more often! 2 weeks latter he told me he could not believe how well the car was running he was amazed he could feel the difference!

I changed the oil on my uncles 4runner brand new i was the first one to open it up since it was built in Japan. It was so unbelivably tight.
Maybe they haven't even had the first oil change that happens at around 1000 miles...
Yes- the factory tightens them very tight-My Impreza was like that - I changed the oil and filter after 2,200 KM- then at 6000 KM I will let the dealer do the service then 6 mths later I will change oil and filter at home.
First time I took my oil filter off in this car, I about destroyed it with pliers trying to get it off it was so tight.
23k miles is bad, but I wouldn't think damaging in any way. I always wonder about those 3 year leases people turn in. How long between oil changes they go.
I change oil twice a year on my fleet of vehicles. On my main service van that works out to 20 to 30k between every change. It was in service until last year and had 600k on it when I sold it. It would use about 1 quart per 30k. BTW I use 5w30 conventional in winter and 10w30 conventional in summer. The van with 600k was a GMC with a 4.8
One quart every 30k is impressive. Not many new cars can do that.

he didnt try to cover it up :) the camera has a flash on it - the license plate is reflective. he wanted to show it was from Quebec so he put his hand there so the reflection from the plate wouldnt blow out the image.
When an advert specifically says lady owner I tend to avoid them for this reason, a worker of mine his mother had never had her car serviced and she drove the car for 4-5 years. she only had it in the garage because it just stopped on her one day, because it had burnt so much oil it blocked the cat and choked the engine out. She sold the car to the garage and bought a new second hand car.
After the car was bought engine on her old car had about 3-4 engine flushes ran through it, the cat was removed and filled with a strong mix of dpf cleaner and acid based tfr (triffic film remover), then put back on after pressure washing clean. New spark plugs and full service, some budget brake pads, a much heavier grade of oil and it actually didn't run too bad, the heavier grade of oil really helped with the oil burning issue, and the car was sold. It was a little Suzuki, not sure exactly what model.
Some people just don't care about their vehicle, then complain when they have an issue or it lets them down. Really annoys me when people do that.

You should absolutely tear open the oil filter to see what the inside of it looks like.
This is standard practice when changing the oil on airplane engines.
@@marsgal42 Well... it's not a bad idea. Anything to reduce risk. You don't want to send an engine out that shows early signs of failure.
Most likely the bypass valve has been tripped and the oil is not being filtered. Better to have the oil circulate unfiltered than no oil circulate at all.
That would probably be like opening Pandoras Box. All the evils in the world would be released at once.
With it being the original oil from factory it wouldn’t be worth looking in the filter IMO. You’re going to have stuff from break in hiding everything you’re looking for. It would be the next oil change, hopefully sooner than the standard scheduled one I would go looking in it.
What's the news? Changed regularly every 37000 miles/ 2 years (according to OEM spec) on my old car, no issues whatsoever. Sold it with 285000km running like new

I'd be pretty confident that it is not far from toast.
With oil that black with carbon it is likely that this Subaru's horizontal cylinders will be worn oval as many Subaru motors do.
I'd bet that it already is 20% down on compression.
The way the oil bubbles when it is draining shows that the antifoam component has stopped working so the oil has very much lost a lot of its function.
@@Graceymay74 true, but she is lucky that oil didn't turn into thick sludge
@@alextran8188 Lucky yes, in that it still was running.
But if she has never changed the oil and it only drained that small amount, the inside of the engine is where you'll find the rest. sludge on every surface. Guaranteed. it is what oil does when it goes this long without a change.
the lighter compounds evaporate. the additives break down. the heat cycles within the engine basically turn the engine into a refracting tower which slowly splits oil into its components. The oil also gets polluted by unburnt fuel which makes it past the rings (yes, even in new engines. just less so), carbon and this degrades the oil further. that oil is probably 10% as effective compared to new as a lubricant.
Oil in this condition is the worst thing for all the gaskets and seals, so it will be a leaky motor in time.
I think this engine will be toast pretty soon. 10-30 thousand km (6-18 thousand miles). it will blow oil at initially, then lose compression and power. soon after it will either foul the plugs too much to start or a big-end bearing will hit its wear limit and it will throw a conrod.
you're also right she's "lucky" that this is a near new late model. if you didn't change the oil for that long in a car with 100k on the clock, you probably wouldn't need to change the oil at this point because it would be far far worse. especially a Subaru engine.
Am I the only one cringing watching him undo the oil filter so fast it goes everywhere in the housing and doesn’t clean it?
And the engine warranty won’t cover it when it breaks down. When the mechanic at the dealership opens it up and finds all that black sludge inside it will automatically void the warranty and a huge repair bill will be handed to her. If I was her dad I would advise her to trade it and get a new one. And to strongly advise her to change the oil on the next one she gets. Don’t even know how some people don’t understand cars need maintenance.
That's the most accessible oil filter location I've seen !
Much easier than my f150. They put some type of oil catcher under the filter. Made it a real bitch getting the filter off. Also the bolts were rusted on so couldn't just unbolt it . Before I started the second oil change I took a saws all n cut it off. MUCH EASIER !!!!
@@pfc6329 They recommend you change your oil and filter regularly and then they design it like that ?. Crazy !
@@screwsnutsandbolts 34k km and that engine still run well? What kind of oil that she used..? Must be very very good quality oil....
Pretty much all Subaru's are like that and then some Hyundai's. There are others but can't remember. 2020 Diesel chevy impala and Austin Mini's are the absolute worst
@@pfc6329 fuck that man. My job is to change oil and whenever I'm working bottom side on one of those I need someone to help me because I'm too short for those fuckers
Sadly, I partially blame the manufacturers - my owners manual actually shows 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first for 'normal' driving conditions...local mechanics have always said 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first...😮
She'll be back with 73k for her second oil change 😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭
Ha good one😂😂😂
You made me laugh. :)
I remember seeing a Mustang that had overheated and I asked the owner when was the last time she changed the coolant and oil. She had no idea what I was talking about.
"When was the last time you changed your coolant and oil?"
Woman: "Changed the what??"
🤣
In the garage I work in we check all that stuff anyways. Such as oil level. Coolant. Windscreen wash and all that. I work in a Toyota garage.
@@LukeGB003 wait toyota needs servicing?
How is that possible? Lol
I don’t usually make women are bad drivers jokes but sometimes they make it so damn easy
What a madlad, he slammed the door against the lift pillar...
I'm jealous of that oil filter location. They should make mandatory placement at the top of the engine.
Exactly. I have a Forester and they are the fastest and cleanest oil changes I’ve ever done.
My c63 amg w204 has a filter up on top. Really easy to replace.
Not really that big of a deal, you're already going to have to be under the car to drain the oil so not really saving time by having it in the engine bay
@@Striker50_ true but most people who change their own oil don’t have a lift where they can jack up a car and get underneath it easily they’ll most likely use a jack which only raises the car about 2-3 feet so you’ll have to lay down to remove the filter which is a pain. I think it is a great idea having the oil filter up on top.
@@RKSAINT I personally use ramps as many others do, on a crossover or suv you'll have a ton of access space. I prefer to have more space in my engine bay for when I do need to have maintenance done
“This car might be a chronic oil burner”
It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
As a Subaru owner, I was wondering how she made it so long without burning through all the oil.
Subarus usually don’t burn oil until they get older. This is a new car with only 30K kilometers on it but will bet it burns more oil from here on in.
@@leslielucci3182 I own 2013 and 2015 Legacys. They both have been oil burners from the outset. I change their oil religiously at 3000 miles and they are always at least a 1/2 qt low
@@leanybrian Wow. Didn’t they fix that in newer models like 2019+? My 2009 outback just started a slight leak and we previously had a 99 Forster we got used with 99K miles that always burned oil and head gasket went at just under 150K
subaru-kun?
Subaru has a massive hardon for making sure that factory filter is tight as hell!
It’s hard to find time to change the oil when you’re driving 5 under the speed limit in the left lane on the highway
“For sale!! Low miles! 23k. Never been serviced, no records! Oil changes every oh whenever I feel like” 😂
Lol yup I love the ads that say "never had a problem with the car in 100k miles". That basically means "I drove this, put gas in it and never serviced 1 component"
"Get it for 2000 dollars" xD
'One lady owner.' 😐
Sad part is, the car probably came with a free oil change from the dealer that never got used.
What a shame, hard earned money spent on a brand new vehicle and people cant 30-40 dollars on an oil change to maintain a vehicle
I'm wondering if she maybe got scammed, and paid for an oil chane but never got it.
Though it sounds like she never ever had it done.
Very true
What's the service interval, some newer cars are 2 years 20,000 miles.
@@jayhow997 Ive never seen a car that suggests 2 years or 20k miles. Most cars are 1 year 10k miles or even less
@@MeDicen_Rocha well they exist my friend and plenty of manufacturers do vehicles with such service intervals, I work at multi marque main dealers, Ford kia mazda seat in one group lots of our new vehicles are 2 year or 18/20,000m service intervals pet/diesel, some commercial vehicles are higher. Vag group do the same vw's long life service 24 month or 19,000 miles.
This is exactly why I never buy used vehicles. I work in the automotive industry and most people neglect their vehicles.

I once new and fellow that was terrible with maintenance on his cars. He always drove old junk so it really didn't matter. Finally he went and bought a fairly late model little Chrysler K car and he drove it and drove it and drove it. One day his wife called (we had a shop) and asked us for help. She told us he said 'Since I bought this car I've never changed the oil!' He acting all proud like he had shown the world something. Sadly you could hear the engine clattering a little bit. We went and just changed the oil for her sake not for his.(63,000 miles) Sadly the damage was done. About 6 months later we sold them a new motor and got it installed for them as well. Some folks just can't see the forest for the trees
Wow. Great Story!
"who tightened that thing"
Subaru. Subaru tightened that thing.
That’s crazy these came with free maintenance for two years so it wouldn’t cost her anything to service it.
Dats what I think too.
Assuming they came with free maintenance everywhere is the dumbest thing I’ve heard today.
Bmw comes with free monthly subscription for maintenance
Daniil Primachenko thats because they are mechanical pieces of shit.
@@billybobbobson5346 no, it's because PROFIT!
I met a girl that never changed her oil. She didn't know you had to. She thought the reason you changed your oil was if you were a racer or high performance and wanted more power.

Not ideal but not the end of the world.I was doing 15000km intervals on a 2011 Holden Commodore Omega.
Now has 322000kms on it, runs well, has original timing chains which the internet thinks is insane and burns very little oil between services.
my sister gifted me her 2016 vehicle last year. Lo and behold, I find out that she has only changed her oil ONCE in 5-6 years.
it's a miracle that thing was still able to run for fucks sake
To do this oil change right, once that old oil is drained, put the plug back in, and add 3-4 quarts of some cheap oil, run it a few minutes, then drain it again. That will get most of the remainder of the old oil out. THEN fill with fresh synthetic and a new filter.
That’s exactly what I do! It feels so refreshed isn’t it? :)
Many guys put 2quarts cheap oil+2 quarts diesel and let it run 5 minutes..The diesel has big chances to remove the eventually sludge .
Wouldnt putting non synthetic for a engine who needs synthetic would do harm to the engine even if just ran for a few minutes no?
@@left4worldsins No way to ruin a engine with mineral oil, even in weeks. It's a hoax invented by the smarty pants synthetic oil sellers.
@@left4worldsins No. Not at all. As long as there IS oil in the motor its fine. Conventional oil can be used in ‘full synthetic cars’. My brothers 2019 Nissan maxima has used conventional oil through its entire 50,000 mile life… No damage or issue at all
All you have to do is change the oil more frequent. About 4-5k miles between every change instead of the 7-10k using synthetic.
That has got to be the best oil filter placement I've seen. Good props to subaru.
Great location but mounting it open-end down means there's a good chance the oil drains out of it every time the engine is off. Better to have it mounted open-end up to keep the filter full of oil.
Some audis have the same placement
Audi ... Subaru ... both will burn oil or self destruct after 100K ... edit - there are some that run very well and owners love them but the fact remains too many have unacceptable issues. LET THE BUYER BEWARE
Most new design have the oil filter this way and dealership directive is to suction the oil from the dip tube rather then drain. Less time, parts and mess for a routine oil change. But its not great for the engine, oil can back drain if the car is not used frequently and not draining from the bottom accumulates sediments that could turn into sludge at the bottom of the pan.
@@nrich5127 Bullshit
My cousin does the same thing to her Versa in Turkmenistan. I visited her once and her engine was making weird noises with sparks flying out of the exhaust. I check the oil and the dipstick was completely dry. I then asked when was the last time she changed the oil? She said: What's an oil change? I added about 3 quarts of oil and perhaps saved the engine.

My neighbor bought a brand new Nissan Frontier truck. Used it to pull lawn trailers, etc. heavy duty use. He came to me one day and asked if I could help him change the oil. I asked him where he was getting it serviced at. He said it had not been serviced yet….had 23,000 miles on it. Factory fill and factory filter still on. Oil was pretty dark and I cut open the filter and it had held up surprisingly. I finally got him to do 7500 mile OCI. We moved after that, so not sure how well it’s maintained now……scary stuff.
