AT-205 reseal works great on your rubber bushings to keep them from cracking and rotting!!!
Hey Scotty i did my spark plugs on my 4runner and the manual said i needed dual prong plugs. they couldnt find them and gave me fancy iridium single prong plugs. am i looking at any problems down the road?
Not all heroes wear capes, but they do wear sunglasses.
Hey Scotty, I know Honda is very particular about their transmission fluid. Is AT-205 safe for my 2000 crv?
Great Information Scotty. Hate that you moved out of the Great State of Tennessee. Just wondering why of all the cars and boo coos of money you have made informing everyone how to fix their own car, why do you still drive older model cars????? And since you have some really expensive cars stored in a vault? They won't be of any value after your gone. ???? Get Ready Jesus is Coming Back Soon.
Dear old Scotty's been threatening total shut down for months ... yet he's still here ... bless him ! He won't be shut down ... he's too good for that !! Keep going Scotty we love you ... arms and all lol 😂!!
Hope your right Janina... He better not shut'r down..
Months? More like years. Lol
I am a 64 year old female and I drive a 2003 vehicle - love Scotty - he has taught me so much!
Love his videos
Excellent advice!
Scotty you are the greatest person on KZhead people who actually dislike any of your videos are the people that is what’s wrong with this world🙏🏼We love you Scotty
It's the owners of KZhead it, he stepping on their boss toes... His channel is gear towards being free more...That's 10 strikes within itself alone
42
I bet the dislikes come from mechanics that are mad he tells people how to avoid mechanic scams.
No shut down for Scotty !! Still the most informative car expert on the internet . Hang in there Scotty
Excellent video. Probably top 5
Why would his channel get shut down? (honest question).
Of all your videos, if someone could only see one of them, this would be near the top, if not the top choice of videos to choose. In high school I worked at a tire shop (long before there were OSHA regs preventing 16 year olds from working split rim wheels)... we were an honest tire shop... people would come in with the braking issues as you described last and we never tried to over-sell... we offered free rotations and flat repairs regardless if they were tires bought from us and solved the customer problem for free by rotating the great rear tires to the front. That free service gained us a lifetime customer. They owned several cars and a panel van and brought them all to us for "the full boat" (tires, brakes,, alignment and more)... and our policy of doing only what is best for the customer brought in so much revenue that we continuously had the best sales in the district even though we were the smallest of their shops located in the sticks of the county. People would pass five of the other shops our company owned just to come to us... Treating the customer with respect and professionalism pays back in spades!
No doubt about it. Great job. Keep it up. Lots of business don’t understand a good service and are selfish.
@@brandonlopez8618 or untrained, or little actual experience when hired (they learn on the job, from their mistakes--on your car!)
YES! AND THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE! AND ITS ALL UP TO ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE TO STAY STRONG, STAND UP, AND DO THAT! AMEN! GREAT STORY! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Love it , thanks for sharing, my two mechanics retired here, looking for another, oh my, needle in a haystack.
Yep i work in a two bay Sohio gas station back in the 80s , we had 5 full time mechanics , an we were busy always! Worked for a great manger named Tim! We fixed only what was broken or just woren out ,he paid us well, to keep us honest, and he made good himself! Then came along procare 😢 they were just parts replaces, the more you sold the more you made, an not the same manger😢😢😢😢 i only lasted 15 mo's an left just ! Always getting called on the carpet, for not selling ENUF, juSt not the way i came up👌
The "we only put new tires on the back" policy is universal to tire shops, and it is stupid. They always state it is somehow "dangerous". The only thing that you can do it either rotate the tires yourself or just pull the front wheels (if you have another car) and bring them to the tire shop to have them replaced.
I wish I could buy you a beer. Scotty you are a legend. Thank you for the wisdom.
I think he already had a few before the video.
I got the 2nd one
Buy a T-shirt from him.. The he can buy a beer on your dime.
Careful, he'll knock over your beers.
Your channel never is going to get shut down your too valuable to us
Dear scotty, I used to download and keep many of your older videos for my own car repair reference years ago. I will do so for this video as well. Thank you for saving me a ton of money in my car repairs
Scotty maybe older than all of us, but he has the knowledge we can obtain through years of experience or just listen to every word that comes out his mouth.
Iam sorry to loose your channel. Iam a widow,67 yrs old. I've learned so much from you. I have been able to do some things for myself. Thank you Scotty!
This video is a few years old. Notice that he is at his old Houston home.
😂does it matter how old the video is ,you are getting honest advise 🙂
Here's a story for you... bought four struts for my 99 Honda accord. Replaced the front ones first, then had to leave. Noticed when I went over a speed bump or dip in the road, my car bottomed out badly. So once back home, the rear struts were replaced, no more bottoming out. Having all new struts replaced was like driving on clouds. Even my young kids noticed a better and smoother ride. My car had 200k miles on it and thought it was a good idea to change out the struts for a safer drive for better stopping time on a dime.
Scotty, All your educational & lessons learned videos are excellent and much appreciated! Keep up the awesome practical education with humor & enthusiasms! I love it!!! You the man! I’ll keep watching & subscribing…
I used AT-205 2 oil changes ago and it stopped my rear main seal leak! Haven’t used it since and still no leak!
I hope Scotty gets compensated well for this show. I love this guy.
He makes millions from KZhead
Also when changing your light bulbs, try to wear some type of glove when handling them. Avoid bare hands as any oil on the glass will dramatically cut the life of the bulb.
Do you take of neg cable? I bought only 1 for my back brake light. The others work. 1 bulb cost me $1.17.
I have successfully used Deepwoods off aerosol to clean/restore old headlights to a very usable condition. If you have a newer car, probably just use the stuff Scotty recommends. I found that applying it when it’s about 75° out got the most benefit. Use a lint free cloth, nitrile gloves, and a well ventilated area. Don’t smoke while you’re doing this :-) .give the application no more than 30 seconds (don’t let it dry) then wipe. If you need to repeat, go ahead and do that. I did this with Ford Toyota, Kia and Dodge. It would be best to remove the headlight assembly to clean it. After you’re done And the the headlight is conditioned AND DRY, go ahead and wash it with soapy water and then use the stuff Scotty recommends.
2:47 That rear end is going to need like 3 bottles 😂🤘🏼
I've used the radiator sealers when I needed it out in the back woods. In my experience it worked quite well as a temporary seal. Got me through the rest of the long weekend and home in one piece. Six months later radiator starred leaking again. Hey saved my weekend camping trip and saved me an expensive tow. These products have their place.
Almost everyone in General Aviation and Gliding uses Plexus on their Canopies. Clean the bugs off with water, then dry with a microfibre cloth. Then spray the Plexus on very leniently, wait 20 seconds and wipe off with a dry microfibre, and the screen is as sharp as a mirror. ( don't wait much more than 30 seconds as the spray will dry.) It re-plasticises the outer layer of the plexiglass to avoid brittleness.
Scotty already saved me thousands... I bought a Corolla
I have a Corolla too. I drive it like I stole it and no one notices ha ha.
Bought a 2017 Corolla with 240k miles Runs very well handles great to
@Scotty secretly loves Chryslers good, i like to keep it below 10 ng/dL. and i do drive like an old lady. but i don’t have a corolla
@Scotty secretly loves Chryslers I drive exactly the speed limit if I’m alone; otherwise I go the speed of traffic. But I accelerate gently

AT205 is the best stuff I’ve ever used in my life. Thank you Scotty for turning me onto a great truck.
Mashallah. Thank you Scotty. This brother been doing good positive work for years helping people save money and be more knowledgeable on there vehicles for years.
Super-instructive collection of tips. I know some, if not all, of these came from previous videos, but viewing it like this was very handy. Please keep it up Scotty!
The most standout thing which ages the car is the headlights. That Lexus ES300 or ES330 looks great now.
It really looks good
What's the difference between these two models or are they the same or does the es330 come with a bigger engine?
@@BenDover-lx1gh one with a 3.0L and one with 3.3L .
@@BenDover-lx1gh The ES 330 is bigger
@@TheDocMackCarChannel I see ok nice .i baught a 2008 gs350 from my neighbor love the car i always wanted one of these I see why they are popular and people like to buy Lexus
Scotty if your leaving I just wanted to thank you for standing up to the (place bad word here) you are and always be the man in my book .
I don't get it why is his channel getting shut down?
This is part of the second or third time has said his channels being shut down
@@daniellamoreno3616 Is that right?
Good advice, Scotty. Technician, as you for 50 years. Keep up the good work.
Great videos very informative always learning something new you actually may have the same problem and going nuts!!! Scotty comes through and saves the day....
Hi Scotty! This vid was awesome for people like me that don't know a lot about the workings of a car. Especially about the tires. I hope you are having a well deserved day off on this beautiful fall day.
Scotty appreciate your videos, Im 50 and having a rough time as i assume as many of your viewrs are having.Your videos brighten my day and stand tall everyone hopefully tomm will be a better day
I am glad the "new tires on the rear" argument was mentioned. Logic tells me the front wheels do all of the steering, all of the acceleration on a front drive car, and most of the braking. Why put the tires with more wear on the front? Put the new tires on the front. I do exactly what Scotty says to do.
Enjoy spinning around and around when you steer sharply in the snow.
I rotate my tires at every oil change so I usually replace all 4 at the same time.
Me too, even tho I drive a 4x4 pickup, like the grip up front. Usually keep in 2 wheel so I can drift in the winter lol 😂
Most pro drivers will tell you that it is safest to have your best tyres at the rear of the car. Becouse if you lose grip in the front, the car wont spin around but just slides forward intill it hase grip again.
*Tyres,
Scotty, do a video on how to make a hazy convertible rear vynil window clear again!🙏🙏
clear uv resistant acrylic epoxy exists. make very thin layers on the headlights. protects forever.
Thank you for confirming what I always knew. Tire places would tell me to put the better tires on the back. That makes no sense at all.
Only matters for low-traction road conditions when you are cornering too hard for the conditions present. Aka it stops the stupid people from killing themselves as quickly. Anyone who's ever tried drifting a front wheel drive vehicle gets it. You get good bite on the rear and less bite on the fronts, and you slide both sets on loose gravel. You have good fronts and bald rears, you slide the rear and psuedo-drift the corner. That's really it. Some well intentioned parent gave their teen this advice to keep them from killing themselves by spinning the rear out in front of the car on a gravel, and they just kept that idea and now spread it from the tire shop they work at.
Oh no! Scotty say it isn’t so?!?! Please keep going, you are a solid old school, no nonsense, entertaining, informative, one of a kind! Please keep going, you are like an old reliable buddy 😊
Watch your vids everyday love them ordered plexus a few days ago now I'm ordering at205 I looked in a few part stores and they didn't have them Thank-you scotty for helping me keep my toyota corola looking perfect ❤👍👍
Scotty, Thank you for pointing out how the new tires need to go on the Front! I’m so tired of arguing with Discount Tire and there scammy ways.
You are such a legendary human, Scotty. Much love from New Zealand
Scotty sure does know his stuff. I highly recommend you checking out his other videos.
That AT 205 is good stuff! Scottys right on it stops leaks while you look at it! Expensive but worth it!
Thank you for all Videos you share on KZhead, I do believe that any mechanic schools need to see these videos in there school to make them smarter
Love and APPRECIATE your vids Scotty! Keep up the great work.👍
Scotty - Hello from Nebraska! Enjoy your channel and your decades of common sense / experience! Take care of your vehicle and it'll take care of you!
Great content. The AT205 works great and sealed my trans leak on my 1995 Ford Taurus GL wagon with 60k miles on it. Seals were dried out. This stuff really works!
Good luck finding any! Lol
Tried ordering some at NAPA today and it was $460 for shipping for 4 bottles. The closest was Anchorage, Alaska! They'd never seen anything like it.
@@mr.tall-man1573 Same here, been hunting small local parts stores with no luck. Good luck.
I must thank you for all the tips on cars. Honestly I greatly benifiting your videos for free. Keep on your good work. I am a Malaysian but I feel as I if have known you for a long time.
Wasn't KZhead used in the first place to help others as a blog video channel ? Thus channel is one of the most handy useful and wholesome channels uut there. He's the uncle I never had.
Hasbro needs to make a transformer toy that transforms from Scotty into a 94 Celica.
Lol!
😂
😂🤣👍
As a fairly avid toy collector I'd buy two! One to keep mint and a second to open and display, gesturing with his hand of course!
Whenever I used that type of sealer I never had to keep using it. The softened and expanded seals kept there condition for years with the one use.
Scotty u the man , i hope ur chanel and videos stay forever!!!
I love your common sense and honest approach towards çar maintenance. You are a true professional and master of your trade! Keep it real brother.
Good Saturday afternoon to you Scotty hope you and yours are doing well today, lay down the law BROTHER 😀
hello and yes thanks, same to you!
PLEXUS is mostly used on general aviation airplanes that mostly have plexiglass windshields and windows
I have my reservations about using cooling system sealants like Bars Stop Leak. I bought a used 1992 Honda Accord for my son some years back. After the engine would warm up, it would begin surging. It would begin to rev up then down. I finally found the root of the problem to be in the Idle Air Control Valve. The small ports that allow engine coolant to flow through the valve were completely plugged with stop leak. I had to take the valve all apart and carefully drill out all the crap that had built up solid in the valve body. After thoroughly cleaning the valve and reinstalling it, the engine ran great. Apparently some lazy previous owner had dumped a lot of this crap into the cooling system to try and fix a leak. I also fixed the leak properly by replacing a steel coolant pipe that was rusted out.
I put Barr’s Leak in my 1952 Ford Jubilee radiator in 1971. Fifty years later it still works. I have added more from time to time but the radiator has never been off ever. Did Ford really mean for their things to last a hundred years? Quality used to be job one you know. I use the brown.
BLESSINGS KING👑 OF CAR REPAIRS THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US EDUCATED . BRAVO 👏🏼🙏🏼🌹🦅
I learn something new from all your videos great content. Thank you Scotty
You are THE BEST!! Blessed be friend!
Great automotive class today Scotty!👍👏👏.
I'd be so happy if I had a 1/4 of Scotty's knowledge!❤👍
If I lived in your area you would be my go to mechanic. As it is please keep this channel going. It is an incredible resource of wisdom and knowledge. Two things that don’t often combine.
Glad I watched. Tire Kingdom told me all 4 calipers went out at the same time. I had no choice as I was out of town & was where towed.
😂 you're right about the sparkplugs.I once had a brand new 1995 Pontiac Trans Am that I bought brand new in 1995. I rode it to work everyday. I'm 30:49 1998 the plugs began misfiring you could hear it I couldn't get a mechanic to schedule a date to change them because I had to work and they were closed on weekends. So I changed them myself. I changed all sparkplugs in my V-8 engine except for the two plugs in the main back because I couldn't reach them. I drove to work for awhile then one evening on the interstate the car died,the motor stopped and the power steering quit working.And I pulled to the side of road and had to get towed. Running the V-8 engine with the two bad back plugs caused the electronic ignition to go out.
What a Joy, to watch your Extremely very Informative videos Sir. What a shame if your Channel was shut down. You my Friend are a very Good and Honest person. Giving people the Truth about the car Industry and Helping people when they are deciding to Purchase what is a Big Purchase for them. I have really enjoyed watching your videos Scotty. Thank you very much. Regards. Jonathan.
Learned so much from Scotty! Keep on trucking!
Very nice infos. I agreed there are many shops and mechanic that are prepared to "scam" instead of "helping" the customer. 👍
Hey Scotty, hold the products up to the camera so we can see them instead of flailing around so much.
That is the best suggestion I have read for this awesome channel. 👍🙂
Thank you for the updated celica/ 2zz ge breakdown. I asked that in the last live broadcast! Recently got one so I needed some professional insight.
What did Scotty say
If you do anything diy definitely get an online subscription to something. Even if you don't do anything diy, I would still recommend it; you can at least get an idea on parts and labor that a shop will quote you for a repair. I like the interface for all data diy over Chilton but they're both a solid choice!
I started using Plexus on motorcycles too a couple decades ago. I use it on my computer/tv screens as well.
We love you Scotty if this truly was your last, it was quite a time 🤟
Scotty for president
Hey Scotty love watchn your videos keep putting it out there man
Super Video & valuable information by Scotty as always !
These are some great tips scotty!
The Man The Legend Scotty Kilmer 🔧🛠️
I'm wondering if they have that rear tire policy so that when turning (especially in slippery conditions) it keeps your car from fish tailing. Sure, having the new tires in the front makes sense from a driving and braking point of view, but when you're driving around in less than ideal conditions, having them in the back would be a good idea for more total vehicle control. But as he said, it IS best to buy 4 new tires. If you could put $20 aside every month, you can buy a new set of tires in just 2-3 years (obviously depending on the car and the type of tire). Well before most recommended tire replacement dates.
Here in Argentina even car manuals recommend rotating the tires every 6.000 miles or so (in older cars manuals, it even recommended changing them from left to right! Crazy, ain't it?). The tires in my Chevrolet Cruze have 40.000 miles on them, have been rotated 3 times, and while -granted- it isn't a sport car, it did not feel unstable at any speed it could reach... let alone legal speeds.
If they were stupid enough to shut your channel down I would be smart enough to not watch anymore you tube your the best I’m old too but I learn a lot from the master mechanic Scotty so rock on brother
Ive used Bars-leak in 2 Chevys that had the v6 Intake manifold leak that happened with the Dex-cool systems in the late 1990s . It worked great .
I love older people; knowledge is so much power and they are just giving it away 👍🏾😂😂☺️☺️😁😁; thank yooooooou Scotty!!!!!
Good stuff sir, thank you!
Excellent stuff 👍
I love Scott. Just wish he’d SLOW down and let me write down the product.

Greate stuff, indeed. Thank you.
I d like to thank you I follow your video for more than 10 years from Saudi Arabia you are number one one for me, are honest not like some advertising people from my heart thank Ali
One interesting fact about Plexus is that bush pilots (and many others) substitute lemon pledge. It has to be the lemon in particular. It is claimed to work even better than the Plexus. I haven't done any extensive testing, however I have used it and it does give good results for aircraft plastics.
Scotty I love you! You are the king of Shock KZhead descriptions
your the Best Scotty! keep up the good Videos!

Haven't been able to find the 205 reseal anywhere yet. But then with 100 Million people no longer in the work force, our country is going down fast.
THANK YOU MR. SCOTTY YOU'VE REFRESHED MY MIND AS WELL AS MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT AUTOMOTVIE THINGS TO DUE AS WELL AS YOUR ENJOYMENT OF WORKING ON MOTORS!! JOHN AND CHICO OR CHICO AND THE MAN.
Never considered matching sets of fuel injectors...but does make some sense as on my 4.0 Ford they are all connected to the same fuel rail.
In the case of Spark Plugs, sometimes replacing just 1 will result in THAT cylinder throwing a misfire code AGAIN. Subaru recommends plugs every 60k. I picked up my 15' STi with 66k on it so I assumed one of 2 possibilities. Either they've all been replaced recently, or not a damn 1. Welp, I was wrong. Cylinder #1 was replaced with a Denso, and the rest were NGK factory plugs. Well past their recommended replacement time. Guess which cylinder threw the misfire? #1. Newest plug didn't work well with the others. So naturally I replaced all 4 with NGKs. No more misfires. At all. Replacing in sets is ALWAYS recommended for plugs. Laziness oftentimes results in MORE work over-all. Do it right the 1st time and save yourself extra headaches.
Did you live in New Hampshire at some point? Love the state motto sign on your shed 😄
It’s the best informative thing on KZhead👍
Great show. Thank you
Another good reason to put newer tyres (better tread) on the front, is it's easier to get out of a rear wheel slide than a front wheel slide!
I think I found a new Car Talk Show in KZhead. Great channel! Thanks, Scotty!
