rev up your engines wind 5280 says Scottie I bought a new car from dealer I purchased
it gives a lifetime powertrain warranty these warranties lifetime powertrain
warranty you know what does that really mean
theoretically it means that if the engine of the transmission goes out
they're gonna fix it free but from my experience they're usually not worth the
paper that they're printed on if it was even printed anymore because they have
so many disclaimers they'll say stuff like if your engine goes out where you
didn't change your oil enough oh you overheated the engine and that's why the
engine broke they got so many outs that they can go that they're not going to
fix it or they'll say stuff like well that's normal wear so let's say the
transmission shifting really poorly they'll just say well that's normal
wear as they get old they shift poorly we're not gonna you know rebuild your
transmission or give you a $5,000 transmission under the warranty most of
that stuff isn't worth the paper that it's printed on and when you get
something like limited powertrain warranty you have no idea what they're
actually cover and in my experience I think customers that have those and 80%
of the time they bring it to me and I look at it I caught the company and they
say oh no we're not gonna cover that so don't really listen to that especially
in a used vehicle you know things are gonna break it there's no way they're
gonna fix all that stuff for free most of it it's just total lies from the
people that are selling you the stuff where it says Scotty which one has more
plastic the Kardashians or BMWs billion any I guess there would be a Kardashian
who's driving a BMW that would definitely have the most plastic but
BMWs have been using plastic for decades now I got a customer's still got a 1980s
BMW and that thing doesn't have much plastic on it at all
modern ones and it's cheap plastic and it doesn't hold up over time the heat from
like a the cooling system and everything in this plastic and the intake manifold
with all these plastic parts on it that crack and break that's the big reason I
tell people don't buy a BMW I had a mechanic friend once I saw him at a
parts store so I was going he says oh man look I just got this beautiful BMW
one of my customers was tired of it so I bought it from him and I'm thinking
ah he does know much about BMWs I saw him about a year later to say I'm on a
part store I said how's that BMW going Joe and he said Oh Scotty that BMW I
got rid of it a month ago was just killing me with parts for all that
plastic stuff and this was a mechanic so stay away from both the Kardashians and
BMWs if you don't want to deal with plastic, 2jg says Scotty what do you
think about Ford Expedition oh wait 80,000 kilometers for 6k people say they
break down when they get old like 200,000 yeah it's for expeditions ages
they're high-tech luxury SUVs big monstrosity and they do have to have
electronic work done on them generally as they age
you only got 80,000 kilometers that's like what Hannah 44,000 miles that's
nothing $6,000 imagine what somebody paid for it when it was new
outrageous it's awful mechanic checks it out and says yes that's the real
knowledge yes it's in decent shape buy it if you want a big
monstrosity that you know uses a lot of gas it could be okay because generally
yeah like you say if you're talking about 200,000 kilometers yeah that's
generally when they start to have problems we say when they get more than
a hundred thousand my husband or than that but still yeah then they would
start but for the mileage that it has you know you can go another 120 thousand
kilometers not put much in it go right and buy it rim says I got a friend
with a 2014 Accord to push button lights up in the dash but it won't turn over and
the battery just fine I can just about guarantee you it needs a starter on
those 2014 of course they put the crappiest smallest little starters on
those things and if it's a four-cylinder one which I'm assuming it is cuz most of
them around me are you gotta take off part of the intake manifold to get the
starter have another brilliant design but they just built those starters
poorly I changed out scores of them in those things and odds are it just needs
a starter it was a bad design a poorly made start or so go get one and my
advice if you can find a new one put a new one in because otherwise if you go
to a discount auto parts stores you get one of their crappy starters that Honda
made that has been rebuilt well a rebuilt one they're gonna last
less than the brand new one did so if you can find a brand new one it's
generally going to last longer than a rebuilt on that
particular Honda because they're notorious for breaking down in the first
place timber won't fall 29th says Scotty I've
been noticing the prices of the Ford Crown Vic police interceptors been going up
lately what's up here all right well they're not gonna be
making them anymore so people that like those vehicles the big old crown vics
hey they want them they know they're not gonna be making him anymore and so the
prices are going up money used once and there's always a certain amount of
people that like a certain vehicle a couple years ago Porsche decided they
were gonna make a thousand super cars and they were going for nine hundred
something thousand dollars almost a million bucks right and all the other
supercar people who make 50 a year 120 a year they said ah poor she's gonna lose
their shirt on that one how they gonna find a thousand people they're gonna buy
these super car Porsches right well they sold them all before they even had one
completely built because there are that many million and billionaires have
wanted to buy this poor super car so there's a certain amount of people that
want a Crown Vic like that so the prices is gonna start going off since they're
not producing anymore it's the old law of supply and demand sue asks hey if I'm
using full synthetic engine I should have continued to do so for ever yes you
want to stick with a particular type of oil it works for you keep using it now
they are supposed to have certain additives they have minimum requirements
here in the United States but they're all slightly different so let's say I
like Castro so using Castro synthetic oil I would continue to use it as long
as you have the car why mess with success why change from one or another
but I mean let's say you go to Walmart and buy their synthetic oil all
the time and it works fine just keep buying it you don't want to switch and
the worst thing to do is to switch from synthetic to non synthetic or for non
synthetic to synthetic go back and forth because really if something works in
your engine you should leave it alone and of course especially say got an
older car an excuse normal oil do not switch a high mileage old car from
normal to synthetic because I have seen just because it flows better I've seen
leaks I've ever seen noises occurred because of the difference you know so
stick to one type of oil and leave it there if it works perfectly fine there's
no reason to change 13:45 says I got an 06 Jeep Liberty
sometimes it starts fine after a driver for a fuel won't
start I don't after you starting fluid to started what could be wrong
mainly that would be your fuel pump is starting to go out or you got a bad fuel
pump real those things are notorious for having fuel pump really failures so I'd
say change the fuel pump relay first that's where it starts but if it's not
that when it doesn't start pressure test a fuel pump
normally vehicles are the other way around they're hard to start when
they're cold but when they're warm they start right up or if they start up
firing when they're called and then they're warm they don't start normally
it's they're flooding out from fuel leaking but yours isn't flooding out
because adding starting fluid would flood out even more it's not getting any
fuel check the relay first just change that they're cheap you can do that your
stuff easy and if it's not that then have the fuel pump pressure tested and
pray it's the fuel pump going out and not the computer that activates or the
crazy wiring and those jeeps that are notorious for having electronic gremlins
biomechanoid says I'd like to be a bit independent to want to rely on mechanics
for trivial jobs and mechanics around here aren't very good I don't have my
own oil and coolant changes but I don't have a garage and I parked outside on
the street I can't Jack them up so I'm looking for alternatives can you use
pumps to suck the oil up but your engine off you can't i personally believe in
jacking them up and unscrewing the drain plug and getting it all up but take an
example audis they got a whole bunch of sheet metal on the bottom of the car to
make them hear dynamic and it would take an hour to get all that crap off to
change the oil even at the Audi dealers they tell you the factory thing is to
suck the oil out you go to an already dealer to get an oil change they just
take the dipstick out and they stick a tube in and they suck the oil out and
change it that way you know if you want to do it that way you know you're still
gonna get more crud changing the plug but if you can't get that and you get a
good one to suck it out do it but the first time you do it do this read what
your oil change specs are and let's say it says 5.3 quarts when you suck it out
pour that into graduated containers and see if it's the same amount that comes
out then you'll know well you got almost all of it out so who cares but if it
says 5.3 quarts and you only get four it's not working right and then Jack it
up to change the oil but if it does you can do it like I say they already deal
is that's what they do now at the dealers
they don't have to take the whole bottom of the car off just kind of amazes me that's Germans
for you they're a little weird when it comes to design and things, be gentle says
Scotty is the CVT in a 2020 Toyota Corolla reliable
2020 I'm assuming it is because my son bought one last year it's two years old
now and it's been alt reliable he was kind of leery because I told about CVT
transmissions but he found a nice Corolla asked with the CVT and he lost
and he drives hard he loves the acceleration and he said he
actually gets better gas mileage than the ratings were so I have to say that
they'd been rely bought I'm assuming the 20/20 is gonna be as reliable as the
previous models but I shocked me cuz he drives like a maniac and he said he's
got plenty of pickup Toyota makes their own transmissions Aisin so they're
pretty good and building automated transmissions the only time that they
messed up is with their 8-speed automatic they didn't get the software
and stuff right and a shift kind of weird and they still run it's not like
they stopped but they've had some problems with those
