rev up your engines, shoeshine boy says what's up with oil dilution with direct
injection engines, okay direct injection has to spray fuel
directly into the cylinders, you take a regular injection car, that thing might
have a fuel pump that puts out 56 pounds per square inch pressure, those direct
injectors some of those things are 500 psi pressure that they spray into the engines,
it's a lot more pressure, you put all that extra
pressure in, of course it's gonna strain the piston rings and it's gonna blow
some by and it will be diluted gasoline will get into the engine oil, especially
as they age and especially with people that don't maintain their cars perfectly,
it will get the oil too dirty, the piston rings
wear and then all that extra pressure is gonna throw gasoline into the oil and
it'll dilute it, especially when a lot of them are turbocharged too, which
puts even more pressure into it, denton says Scotty what are your thoughts on the
GM plants closing, well don't say I didn't warn people about it, I told people
for years don't buy Chevy Cruzes, don't buy a
Impalas their junk and now it's come back to bite them in the rear end, you know they
took the government money and then what do they do, they screw the American
workers over by shutting their factories down and keeping all the other
world ones on, realize the GM last year sold more cars
in China than they did in the United States they're all made in China in their
factories there, just trying to move the stuff over there, and the Impala and the
Cruze their not gonna make any more their some of the worst cars they ever
made, especially the Cruze that was an absolute piece of junk,
I've had customers sue them under the lemon law and win, I got one costumer with a Cruze
and he has a picture of Mickey Mouse in the back window and I said, what's
that for, he said this car is so Mickey Mouse I decided to show everybody by
putting a Mickey Mouse picture in the back of the car, they made junk and it's
biting them in the butt, that's just the way that it goes, David says Scotty what
do you think about an 06 Marque with 64 thousand miles for 4,500 bucks, it's
perfect on the interior and exterior, if it can really be proven that it's only got
64,000 miles go ahead and buy it, those things can
last two hundred thousand, two hundred sixty four thousand miles they
can last a really long time, you're never gonna find another one
with that low little mileage, but first get proof that it's actually the real mileage
because a lot of people lie cheat and steal, you can go to a junkyard buy a dash
for 60 bucks, put it in the car and it looks
like that's the mileage, so you want some proof of car inspections, the mileage, you
know you want some solid proof that that's the real knowledge, don't go by
what people say, people lie a lot, DW says hey Scotty
my trailblazer makes a rattling noise when you take off, it stops until it gets
up to speed and I could smell oil but I don't see any leaks what's your thoughts
first thing is you got to figure out where that's rattling is coming from, it
could easily be the substrate inside your catalytic converter is breaking and
that's the catalytic converter rattling, because when you take an off it can
rattle, but once you get going fast there's all this pressure of the exhaust
gas flowing through and it'll push it against the side and it won't rattle anymore
and if that's the case, you can live with it as long as it runs okay, if it's
the engine rattling as you take off, that generally means the timing chain is
worn or you got a problem the cams are worn, and that's real expensive and you'll
probably would want to put that kind of money into an older vehicle like that, you
got to pinpoint the noise first and catalytic
convertible they're pretty easy when they're rattling, crawl under it and get a
rubber mallet and whack the catalytic converter
if you hear it rattle you know that it's coming apart
inside, Mr. hulk abs says what's with GM actuators going bad, cheap design, it's all
plastic junk, I've had more people, like they'll come to me and say, oh it's
driving me nuts, the air conditioning on my side the driver is hot but on a
passenger side it's freezing cold it works great, well that's cuz the actuator
on the driver's side is broken, they used this plastic junk, hide it in the
dash and then when it breaks you got to go out, take the entire dash apart which
costs a fortune if you're gonna pay somebody to do it, and they gotta buy the
new actuator and put it in and then reprogram the computer, it's just
ridiculous they're making them that way and that's one reason that their
shutting their factories down, people are sick of buying a cheaply made product
that cost a fortune to fix and their wining that people don't want to buy
their cars anymore, they did it themselves, they made their own garbage
and then they try to blame it on market forces, yeah it is a
market force that people that are buying the stuff are smarting up and
not buying the junk that they're trying to sell to them, Ohare says hey
Scotty love your videos, I have a few questions to ask, first I want to change my
brakes, how do I figure out what size I need and where do I get the
Akebono pads, okay well you can buy them online or buy them anywhere, go to a good
auto parts store, I'm not talking about chain
auto parts stores, discount ones, go to an actual one like I use one around here
that's called Bap Geon, I say I want Akebono pads and they get
them for me, they cost more but they're great pads
you tell them the year, the make, and the model and they'll get you the right ones
and they're very easy to replace on that vehicle, changing brake pads Scotty
Kilmer and my video will pop up, show you how easy it is to change them, that's one
of the easiest cars to do and you can do it yourself, you know there's a lot of
stuff like that, that you can do it yourself, the only thing is, you want quality
parts and you're doing a smart idea, buy the Akebono pads, their quality parts
they're gonna last longer you'll be happy, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
