rev up your engines, duh face says Scotty my car consumes
much more gas than it did in the past though there's nothing
wrong with it, what could possibly be the reasons, okay simple things first, change
your air filter, change your fuel filter, change the spark plugs, have a guy
professionally clean your fuel injectors if that doesn't help, because we have
pressure machines that can clean the fuel injectors, dirty fuel injectors will
do that, now there is stuff you can clean yourself, I have a video called make your
car run better with this little spray cleaner watch that and you can get two cans
of spray cleaner for about fourteen bucks total, you can clean the throttle
you can clean the mass airflow sensor you can do all that stuff, and a lot of
times that'll fix it, cuz things do get dirty over time and with modern cars being
and all computer run, a lot of people just keep driving them cuz they still
run good but they'll get a little bit worse gas mileage because things are
dirty and they need cleaning, joe says Scotty what do you think about running amsoil
signature oil for 20,000 miles or one year, the one year I don't mind but
I wouldn't push it to twenty thousand miles, I got a whole video on that the
myth the twenty thousand mile changing and it talked about that new mobile one one
that they said you could last 20,000 miles, unless you're like a truck driver
and you're driving 65 miles an hour for 12 hours a day, and that twenty thousand
miles is all highway driving in a year or less don't do it, if you drive on a
highway at 65 miles an hour, the wear on your engine oil it's like 10% of what it
is in the City stop and go traffic, 20,000 miles on a highway going 65, it's
equivalent to like 2,000 miles in the city, so it's no big deal, but don't do it
with stop and go city driving it's not worth it, I don't care what the engineers
say here or there, and most cars are gonna burn oil at that kind of mileage,
you don't want to wear an engine out for something dumb like that, but once a year
if you drive less than 10,000 miles go right ahead, Ag says what do you think
about a 2015 Audi a8 with v6 3.0 supercharged engine, I just bought one
and I love it, yeah they're fun to drive that thing is zippy as can be, but get a
hold of me in five or six years if you still have the car cuz you'll probably
hate it then, every customer that I had buy one of those things if they put any
serious amount of mileage on it, 80-90 thousand more miles, they threw so much
money into those vehicles and then when they tried to sell them used, they found
out that seven eight-year-old one went for almost
nothing because of that, but they are fun to drive I'll give them that, the Germans
have interesting technology you know they make top-of-the-line stuff in the short run
Leo merino 6 5 4 2 1 3 there must be a lot of Leo Marino's out there, Scotty
I'm 16 and I'm getting my driver's license soon, I want to buy a 1993 toyota celica
GT 5-speed manual so I can learn how to drive, I want to keep it on weekends
what do you think, not a bad idea my son's got one of those things for 500
bucks ages ago, because one of my customers loaned hers to her daughter
who was not exactly someone who took care of vehicles, she drove over a
manhole cover during a flood and the water came shooting out, flooded it out and
sucked water and blew the engine, so I bought it
for 500 and bought a engine for 400 put it in and
he drives it around, they are very good cars but you have to understand it's a
93, a 27 year old car man that's an old car, so don't pay much for it and see how
much work it needs before you buy one, make sure it runs and shifts and
everything, body stuff you can always fix, but if the engine of transmission is going
out you don't want to mess with it, Canadian
Frost says Scotty got a 1973 VW Super Beetle it's stuck in gear any easy fixes, what
you want to do is jack it up in the air, get to the transmission and shifter linkage
and try to manually pull it so you can get at least a neutral, if you
can't even move it then, the transmission is shot and you're gonna have
to take it apart and rebuild it, they do break when their that old, but a lot of
times the linkages stick, if you can manually get it going in neutral, then
check all your shifter linkage something's probably broken, the
bushings or it's rusted up or something like that, they do have a lot of fixable
adjustable stuff on those old ones compared to the new ones that generally
when they get stuck in gear they're shot Assad says Scotty
thanks for all your great content and expertise sharing, what do you think about
Renault cars, well Renault pulled out of the United States
decades ago, I used to work on them when I was a middle age mechanic, I had customers
with them and they were ok cars but you couldn't get parts for them in United
States, and most people didn't know how to work on them, so that's one of the
reasons they pulled out of the United States,
now Renault is one of the largest companies in the world now they keep
buying things, they own Nissan their buying other companies, I got back from
England last year, they drive them and they get
hundreds of thousands of miles from the people that I talked too so, if you live in
Europe might not be a bad idea, but in the United States no, their too hard to
get parts for and mechanics don't know how to work on the things, so if you never
want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
