      Just change things like this more often than you even think you need to. I’ve had my coolant flushed and filled twice in 90,000 miles; per the owners manual I could still be running the factory fluid.
      Guess what. I don’t wanna overheat. I don’t want corrosion inside an aluminum engine. I don’t want my fluid going electrolytic and messing up my computer system. And I don’t want to spend $20K+ on a new car so I spent the whole $75 to HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE change the coolant. Twice.
      I’d rather spend $75 once every two years than take on a $300+ monthly payment for 36/48/72 months thank you kindly

    The problem with synthetic blend is that we have no idea what percent of the oil is synthetic and how much is conventional. My understanding is there is no federal guideline that regulates this and due to proprietary secrecy consumers will likely never know. That's another reason I stick with full synthetic motor oil and have for over 30 years.

    I had a 2000 GMC Sonoma with a 4.3 V6 that I sold with 589K miles on the original engine (never opened) and 2nd transmission (junkyard). I religiously changed the oil every 4K miles (quality filter and oil), performed routine maintenance ie: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel and air filters and aside from replacing a water pump and flushing cooling system, and replacing a fuel pump, the truck never let me down and is still on the road.

    Scotty, I like all your videos. I got to let you know something about my vehicles. Almost all my vehicles I have gone hundreds of thousands of miles. Starting from high school, the most important thing I found was changing the oil often. And with this I usually used the cheapest oil I could find. I would try not to go over 2500 MI. But I wouldn't change the oil filter but every other time so about 5,000 MI once in a big blue moon I would go three oil changes before the oil filter. 7,000 MI. That being said the lowest miles of vehicle I had that I got rid of would be in the $300,000 MI range. I do have a Honda I've had since high school. And I couldn't even guess as to how many miles that has since the speedometer broke at about 400,000 miles and that I couldn't tell you when that was. On F-150 I and my ex bought at 2001 with only 10,000 miles She kept the changing oil routine up. And she and her new husband depend more on that vehicle than their new cars. She is at 275,000 miles. I have another f-150 2004 . At 365,000 miles, I did a lot of mobile auto body and real estate rehab. And I would travel for these jobs since traveling paid more money and it is a 2001 Chevy van at 490,000 Mi. All on cheap cheap oil but try to never exceed 2500 miles. And the Chevy van and Honda do have a string of magnets attached on engine next to oil filter. That I rap around oil filter. Got to say.. on all these vehicles. I have had to change gas pump more then once. Batteries un known times. Chevy van changed tire bearings 3 times. Both ford f150 rear seals once. Honda, alternator 2 times.

    I had this random bucking feeling in my old toyota truck which started around 160k miles. It felt like a transmission issue but it shifted fine. It was only when accelerating, and typically when cold. Luckily I narrowed it down to being my old (and original) clogged catalytic converter. I replaced it and the problem was solved instantly.

    Excellent video - The plan is for my 2011 Crown Vic to last for 500,000 miles in the harsh Boston, MA area. 4 times/year oil changes, annual air filter changes & new spark plugs every 2 years. Plus I spray my undercarriage with a fresh coating of Woolswax every year to prevent rusting. These are the things a numbskull like me can do, every fall I put my car in the local Scotty Kilmer mom/pop shop & have them road test it to find things I am ignorant to. Last year they found 2 weak ignition coils that were randomly misfiring.

      @@aaronjones5742 Not always the case. My Mum had a 2006 Ford Focus that was constantly misfiring and no check engine light. The check engine light is no indicator of how well the engine is running its literally there if there is a fault code that trips the light and many of the codes that appear on scan tools don't trip the light. Check out any of the videos where Scotty plugs a scan tool into a seemingly fine Mercedes and watch it return 20 fault codes despite there being no lights on the dash. Only way to judge is by checking the oil filters, spark plugs and coil packs and using a scan tool to check the car out as well as listening for unusual sounds or loss of performance and fuel economy.

      Oil filters become more efficient as they collect more particles since those will snag and hold smaller particles as they pass by.

    Excellent video. I taught the subject of auto mechanics for 33 years. Oil and filters are cheap compaired to buying an engine. I change oil and filter every 5k miles regardless of what the computer says. 4 vehicles and a tractor. I use Mobile 1 in all the vehicles. My class cut open 20 new different filters. NAPA gold was the best. We also found Honda and BMW filters were excellent. I use Honda filters in my 21 Accord. Oil level is checked daily and before trips. Proper maint is key to long life. On turbo engines don't pull in and shut off, let the engine ldle for 3 to 5 min so the turbo can spool down. You don't want a turbo spinning at 70K rpms and shut off because the oil pressure goes to 0 when you shut down. I told our machine shop teacher this and his turbo diesel still had 500K on the origional turbo when he bought a new VW. All he did was change the oil, filter and let the turbo spool down.

Full silicone oil (Super tech from Walmart like $17 per 5 quarts) and new oil filter every 7500 miles per Acura digital schedule. Air filter change as needed but rarely in winter months with very little dust in the air. I love this car it will probably get over 500,000 miles on it.
