rev up your engines, hey world says I have one question if I keep full
acceleration in the red zone, how many times will the engines work well,
I have a youtube channel in Korea I've been working since 2001, okay you don't
want to always be accelerating in the red zone, having the rpms as high as you can
possibly get, it will wear the engine out faster that's just the way that it is, I
can't give any timeframe you know I'd need to know the vehicle how many miles
it is on it, but the red zone is there for hard
acceleration, you don't want to be driving in a red zone all the time cuz
you'll just wear the engine out faster, now if you like going fast you don't mind it
you're gonna buy another car or another engine and you know where's it's going, go ahead it's
your money, but your best to have your car when you're running at the lowest
rpm possible for that speed that's why there's overdrive, so when you're on a
highway you have a car in overdrive so it gets better gas much the engine spins
slower and it lasts longer, Kelvin Owen says Scotty does an
early model Honda Civic eh2 or BMW e30 make for a good first project cars,
the Honda Civic would make a very good project car, the BMW would only make
a good project car if your father was a millionaire and he didn't care that he
throws money at you all the time, cuz those things are endless money pits the parts
cost a fortune if you ever have to rebuild a BMW engine, it costs a fortune
to do it correctly, where Honda's, there's so many Honda's out there and kids wreck
them all the time from racing around, you can get a good used engine for Honda,
where the BMW, it's gonna be a lot harder to find a good used engine and if
you do have to rebuild it yourself, it's gonna cost you a small fortune, go Civic if
you want a project car, plus the parts are a lot cheaper, craig kenderson says Scotty
my 2014 Lexus is250 says I should only use premium fuel, I hate spending
extra money, do you think I'd get away with regular fuel instead, oh yes it'll
run perfectly fine, it's a very sophisticated car and the thing about it
is, if you use regular gas you'll have lots horsepower but it'll run perfectly
fine it won't hurt anything, if you use premium you'll have more acceleration
it'll run faster, but it's not gonna hurt anything, it's not like that is an old
say 60s muscle car where you had to run them on premium cuz they had real
high-compression pistons and if you ran them on regular
fuel they'd ping, an engine would be damaged, modern cars won't do that
because they have knock sensors, if it starts pinging then the computer will
just lower the advance of the ignition system, so it won't have the same
acceleration but it won't ping, so it won't hurt anything you just lose a
little acceleration, toothbrush flamethrower, Scotty my 2011
Subaru Forester burns one quart of oil every 800 miles
apparently there's recall on engines less than a hundred thousand but bought mine with
102,000 is there anything to prevent oil burning, well in that case not much you
can really do, here's the thing boxer engines as they age often burn oil
is the nature of the design of those things, 1 quart every 800 miles isn't all that bad,
you can change the PCV valve, sometimes the PCV valve will suck oil in and burn it
and that's the problem, but I know the engines it's normally the piston rings
wear the valve seals wear, nothing is really gonna affect that but I have had
some customers have good luck I'll switch to a high quality oil like
they'll get Castrol and I'll buy a little heavier weight Castrol and they'll
put one quart of lucas oil conditioner in with the mix, so if it's 4 quarts of oil put 3 quarts of the Catrol and one of the lucas oil additive, and sometimes it'll
burn less oil, you can see what happens with that
FC says what are your thoughts about a 2013 ford show with 24,000 miles
the SHO engines they're good engines, they can zip around, now as they get old and they Age
they can have a lot of problems and cost a lot of money to fix, but that thing is only
got 24,000 mile but it's six years old, so if you're talking about buying a used
one, get it as low as you can, they depreciate like mad, if you get it
at a low price that you're happy with and you road test it and take it to a
guy like me, who looks up his fancy scan tool and after about an hour says, hey
it's in good shape doesn't have any problems, you get it for a good price it
can be a fun vehicle to drive around in, they cost an awful lot new, I mean you
bought one new you're probably not gonna get your money's worth, but it's six
years old now you get a good price on it hey why not, Richard says I got a 2005
CRV with 60,000 miles was it a good purchase, I can assume it is, I got customers
with CRVs they have 350 thousand miles they're still running, sixty thousand
miles is nothing on one of those things, if the previous owner at least changed the
oil in it regularly, you shouldn't be having any problems at all you know you
got a good deal, if that's the only
mileage that it actually has on it, beast mode says I got a 2012 Chevy Equinox and the
drivers taillight won't work, I changed all the bulbs thanks, the drivers tail
light doesn't work, so you changed the bulbs, Chevy's are notorious for having ground
wire problem, for any bulb to work, you have to have power, positive electricity, but
also negative electricity which is the ground, so if the ground wire is bad, it won't
work either, so check that black ground wire first and if you've ever been in a
wreck or got your lens cracked, water gets inside and then that messes up the sockets
and a lot of times they'll need a new socket then they'll get all corroded
inside, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!
