rev up your engines, flim-flam says if we evolved from apes why our ape still Apes
well you need a little science for that, we did not evolve from apes, Apes and
us have a common ancestor way back when millions and millions of years ago
just like I mean, you gotta believe in science on this stuff, our DNA is
something like 15% the same as a flower, is a dandelion flower, now I mean one of
the odds you know, flowers are still flowers and we're still people, and the
fact that our DNA is like 99% the same as a chimpanzee, kind of tells you that
we're pretty closely related to them you know, you have to be logical with
these things, what people believe or they don't believe. you got a look at the
science of DNA and that makes total sense, back to cars, Batman says
Scotty what do you think about the Kia Soul I'm thinking about buying one, okay
I'm not a Kia fan, but they're much better made than they used to be they
used to be really junky little cars, they were horrible, they rode crummy and they
fell apart, now they're decent cars that you can buy a brand new one and usually
drive it a hundred thousand miles with very little trouble at all
as for the soul itself, I think there's the weirdest looking things on a planet
I wouldn't be seen dead driving one, but if you like the way they look and you want
that kind of car, but on the other hand if you want a boxy car that's gonna last
a lot longer, go get a Honda Element it's twice the car in the Kia it's much
better made car but if you don't mind the Kia the way it looks and the
price that it costs cuz they are cheaper you go ahead and get one, just don't
think that it's gonna run like a Toyota or Honda and go three four hundred
thousand miles you know, for the first hundred thousand they're usually pretty
trouble-free, heraldo says I'm thinking of switching motor oil from 10w 40 to
5w30 in my eight-year-old Toyota will that do damage to my motor, okay if you've
been using the same oil for years, stick to it, the engines used to it, you start
changing it, over the years I've had many customers and contrary to what engineers
say, it can do damage, a lot of customers could say oh I like the new synthetic
oil and they switch from a conventional oil to a synthetic oil, then they find
out they're either leaking oil or they start burning oil and
they weren't in the first place, if you have no problem stick to what you are
using and that's always best to use whatever suggested on the engine because
the engineers designed it for a reason, they're not just randomly saying, okay
let's use this weight oil because we like it, there's engineering reasons
behind that stuff and they know a bit more than you do about oil, so it's best
to stick to what's in it, castellan says my great honor to ask your
question Scotty, an 09 Corolla that's two hundred thousand miles, it hesitates
but only during the day, could it be a bad MAF, it has a new fuel pump it still
does it thanks, that's a weird one you mean it only hesitates during the day but it
doesn't at night that's odd as can be, if that is the truth, and it only hesitates in the day and not at night
the only difference is you turn on the headlights and if you turn on the
headlights and it stops doing it, you've got some kind of really funky electrical
problem with the car, have the alternator load tested, the battery load tested, I'd
definitely do that if that was the case, but if you mean only first time you
start it up in the morning, yeah clean the MAF sensor if that doesn't fix it
replace it, they don't cost all that much on those cars nowadays and they do
get dirty and they do wear out over time, Chad says should I change oil by
the mileage on the sticker or by time, well it depends what they write on the
stick, and what kind of oil you use, I personally change
all my oil on all my cars every three to five thousand miles cuz I don't drive much so
you either change it a lot like I do, I use regular oil every three to five
thousand miles or once a year and normally I don't put the five thousand
miles so I just changed the oil once a year and that's that, now if you're gonna
use a fully synthetic oil, they make some kinds of Lies like that mobile one
changing every 20,000 miles bunch of nonsense, but you could push it to eight
to ten thousand miles with full synthetic oil, but since you're gonna pay
twice as much of the oil my idea is, hey use regular and change it more
frequently, dirt gets in any of the oils and if you're gonna change it it's all
new and it's gonna cost you the same price use regular oil
changes twice as often, Matt's computers Scotty I have a question, my cousin has a
2004 Volkswagen Beetle with automatic transmission, transmission has locked up
in third gear do you know what could be the problem, well the problem is it's a
Volkswagen Beetle with an automatic transmission that was one of
the worst transmissions they ever made and they're just horrible absolutely
horrible things, they're totally over engineered I've had customers over the
years with those that they needed the transmissions replaced ,I told them how
much is going to be and most of them said I'll get rid of the car
but one customer said they wanted it fixed, I sent them to a transmission expert that I
knew and he fixed it gonna cost them like 5,800 bucks and this was ten years
ago, they're just horribly made automatic
transmissions now what the heck you have it you might as well take a chance, try
to find a guy like me they'll have a scan tool that can hook it up and check
it out and you want to pray maybe something like a solenoid broke and
stuck on the third gear, I doubt it but at least try because if you got to have
that thing rebuilt it's more value than a stupid car, so I would just get rid of
the thing, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!
