Scotty could you give us a link where we can buy the ATS chemical 505 CRO? I've searched for it but couldn't find it
Scotty Kilmer i have a hyundai sonata , started burned out car shut down while driving , battery worked fine , relay, fuses and replaced a mew started and before tighting everything down tested started and worked fine and after getting everything put together i went and started it again and it wanted to start but then it burned again what can it be ???
@@Romeois28b2 I did a google search and it came up, try that.
Could you make a video one time where you try to not use your hands for explaining anything? You know.... just for fun 😃 .. Love your videos Scotty!
Can you tell me what city and state you are in. I would like for you to look at my car. I need your help
“Oil is cheap, engines are very expensive” has been instilled into my brain.
Not for long
oil is sometimes not so cheap in some place，such as china，often 40 to 60 bucks to buy 4 liters for a normal car
@@edwitsai still cheaper than engines but that is very expensive..
@@votivespark Still oil is cheaper than to rebuild an engine.
Oil used to be cheap let's go Brandon
The 3 things: 1:10 Get rid of the carbon inside the engine 5:52 air filter 11:43 engine oil
Thank you!
Engine oil AND oil filter.
Thanks
No, it wasn’t the air filter
Can i use Lucas Oil Fix?
My experience with the mass air flow sensor. I had a K&N filter, thinking, "Get the best for my truck. Well, after a while of running it, I got a check engine light. Couldn't figure it out myself and called my mechanic. He asked me a couple of questions, and when he asked when I last changed my air filter. I told him 5 months ago, and I spent the money on the K&N. He told me that they have figured out that the oil coming of the filter is coating the MA flow sensor. All I needed to do is get the special cleaner for it and clear the code, and I should be fine. He was right, but the problem is I had to do that every 5 to 7 months, depending on how much I was driving. After the third time, I cried wolf and took the whole K&N air filter system off. Put stock back on and didn't have any more troubles.
I've heard about this too. My stuff is old, 90 GMC etc , so the K&N doesn't effect it that way, but I've heard this.👍
Former tech here. We luuuuuved check engine light on, MAF code, and there's the KN. Sometimes cleaning worked, sometimes not. And advised the customer to find their old filter and housing. PS a properly oiled filter won't make a mess and 90% of KN we saw were never oiled ever.
When I speed up Scotty’s voice on my phone by 2x it is incomprehensible. This guy has so much knowledge it blows the average mind
Sounds Russian or Cambodian 😂
This guys a fuckin wackjob amd a joke
Wish I had such a honest and knowledgeable mechanic such as Scotty in my area to service my car.
I had one, he would even let me use his lift and tools. He retired a few years back. I doubt I'll ever find another.
Same.
Im sure you do. Just gotta find him or her
Im wishing the same a million times.
Same here!
Scotty is a national treasure
World wide Treasure!!!
International treasure he has my Prestigious Cuban Cat seal of approval! 🐱👍🏿
We ALL wish we could live in his town!
International. Hello from oz
Ez Scotty & all Kru... Shevy , Brighton, UK 💪😎
Scotty, I swear that you're talking directly to me as if you know me. I didn't count but you repeatedly made it clear about the correct oil to use. I appreciate that very much. Things don't sink in like they used to. It goes in one ear and (passes) the brain and leaves out the other ear. You explain things so well that even I will understand at the end of your videos what you're talking about. Thank you Sir
There's a repeat bar. Lol. Just saying lol
I love you Scotty. I really do. You are a good man and brilliant teacher. The knowledge you share, time spent thoroughly explaining opinions, facts and history, and of course your character after all, means the world to me and I'm sure to all of your fans. People can learn great lessons from you even aside from vehicle maintenance. The best part is that you don't ask for payment, you give to us all and I thank you so much man. You have saved me time most importantly and Ive gained most of what I know from your channel. You're the man Scotty!
Legend
True
God bless you Scotty
Thank you Scotty as you’ve taught the average guy how to diagnose problems with a simple $300 scan tool. You’ve saved me thousands in repair costs over the past few years.
That's about a 5or6 hund dollar scanner I'd like to have one like it
@@dfls5069 yes, my scan tool is $100 and works great
Is there a short version?. I have disabilities... Can someone just tell me the pruducts he used the he liked.. Ty
the more detailed and updatable the scanner the more you can diagnose and diy. From the ones I tried and have now a $150 ish and up are pretty darn good nowdays. From there from what I seen and experienced so far. There was a couple times I had to borrow one to track down a SRS issue which mine couldn’t read exactly what it was and it tracked down to the seatbelt buckle sensor which was awesome, I was hours looking into and testing because I thought I knew what it was but finally asked to borrow it. The other time was regarding abs and it was able to tell me exactly what and where (driver rear , speed sensor. I forgot what mine read but it wasn’t that detailed so it saved me time. That was a $2000+ scanner tho I wonder if there is a $300ish scanner that would have pinpointed exactly where and what it was exactly like that? If so heck yah it’s worth it and will pay itself off. ($300 to even $500/700 I would pay) $2000+ however I wouldn’t go that far , luckily I have access to one. I’m sure I saved at least $200-400 just on those two issues alone if I had to drop it off at the dealer etc. Definitely having a decent $75-200 one will easily pay for itself after one or two uses 👍🏽. Unless you’re lucky and have a vehicle that never needs one. The wife’s FJ we had since new 2006 and never ever had an issue yet 🤷🏽♂️, knock on wood. Had relatively good luck with most of our vehicles I like to mod my vehicles lol so that’s where it comes in handy too 😜
@@dfls5069 nope. It’s very very easy. It’s called a blue driver. It’s blue tooth and connects to your phone through the app.
Scotty you're a legend in the game! Youve left a whole era of mechanic knowledge on your page, Thank you! 🍻🍻
The man's a Sage.
@@Allplussomeminus A jazz sage?
I agree. I t took a long time to find a honest auto mechanic in my city. There is only one I found and the parts store definitely agrees.
What is the additive brand name you advise for older engines? Can't read the label in your video.
He is a Amazing man.💯❤😉👍🙌
Love this guy. No surprise he has a large following. A trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable auto-mechanic is priceless!!
I already fixed my car after watching your videos, but, I'm still watching your videos for many reasons. There is more to be gained here than fixing it yourself. How much self-repair do I have to do before I can stop saying "Well... I'm not really a 'car' person but..." ??? I just talked to a new mechanic (had to move and find a new local shop), and armed with knowledge I gained from this channel I swear I was passing for a 'car person' 😀. The stuff I learned from you got me the most honest service I've ever had, and I felt super confident at the shop. The mechanic responded to me as if he understood that I knew what I was looking for (needed some specific transmission work on a Mazda) and everything was done and I got a great deal. Thanks for all of this.
God I don’t even know how long I’ve been subscribed to Scotty Kilmer, but he’s changed my life as a young mechanic to a middle aged man.
28 and im on the same journey
I have been blessed with very good Mechanics. They have great knowledge. And live by the Philosophy, 'If It ain't Broke, don't fix it' and 'If they see a potential future issue, they will let you know'
That's great for you guys that are doing it and continuing to learn how to do repairs, maintenance and if course DIAGNOSING issues in the first place!!! I started around 10 years old, starting to do any and all repairs and maintenance to my little kx80 dirt bike **I was beyond lucky to have had an uncle that taught me the how's and why's of diagnostics and repairs from a very young age, the BEST teacher I have ever had, period!!!
** still learning all I can still to this day no less, because to be an expert ya gotta learn everything ya can!!!
35 yrs
No wonder you have over 5 million subscribers Mr Kilmer! You know your stuff!
Do you have an uncle who's name is Roger....just curious
Lol ..not at all. I'm the last in my family name, alive!
He used to be on tv
I thought Scotty died 🤣🤣🤣 bro , this man has helped me on every car I've ever owned since his channel started, I never had a dad, so Scotty has been my go to KZheadr for dad advice (I will never have to pay a mechanic because Scotty and my hatred of paying $500 for brakes, when I can replace my rotors and brake for $120 myself)
No idea what car you drive but I just did front rotors and brakes on my 19 Ford Edge myself and it was 320 lol
@@huskers1278 rotors and pads have gone way up, cost around 320 to do my rear pads and rotors yesterday but I did also have to replace a caliper
@stevenkunkle3857 They really have I put new rotors and pads on my Edge a couple months ago and I believe it was 360 dollars which is crazy
dude i have no knowledge on cars but this guy, this dude, he's fun to watch. i don't even have a car nor do i plan to get one anytime soon. This is just quality content.
I drove a 1972 442 W-25, 455 Ram Air with the 308* cam from 1971 to 2000. I changed the oil quarterly & flushed the cooling system yearly. When it actually fell apart from rusting, the engine was just as good as the day I got the car.
What mileage did you get
@@orenJF At first, 6 around town, 11 on the road. I advanced the timing & then got 7 in town & 14 on the road.
Scotty, I love your videos and millions like me love them as well. That said, I have 2 suggestions about this particular video: 1) please leave links to the particular products you talk about in the video so the viewers can buy them and. 2) please break off segment 3 in this video (oil and oil changes). That portion is absolute solid gold and needs its own separate video, imho. Again, thank you for everything you do, Scotty and Happy Motoring, pal!!!!
If you change oil every 3000 miles, your engine will last forever. I own a car for 40 years, the engine is still running great
Over the past 24 years, I've changed the oil in my Toyota Corolla every 3000 miles without fail. At 278,000 miles, it's still running great.
It depends on driving conditions. Short trips with lots of stop and go are substantially harder on the oil, highway and interstate driving with a lot of steady speeds, moderate rpms, your oil will last 5K easily, especially if it's synthetic oil with a good filter.
@martinmummert5614 rookie numbers my 2011 ram 1500 has 300000 already and will probably last 400000 easy
@@packrat76 I think you missed the point; Changing the oil every 3,000 miles keeps nearly new oil in you car at all times, so it doesn't matter if you drive city or highway or if your oil will last 5,000 or more miles. Who care? not you, you change it every 3,000 miles no matter what.
@@pelon666Rookie numbers my 1998 BMW 328i has 396k miles.
Scotty, I just wanna thank you for helping me with my car troubles before I have them!
I really do appreciate all these videos Scotty, you're teaching me so much man
It’s hard to believe I don’t have to pay 💰 for info this good! Pay attention folks, the education he is giving in these videos costs a lot of money!
**costs lots of YEARS of diagnosing and busted knuckles to learn it... Though it will cost you thousands and thousands of dollars getting it all repaired if you don't try doing that part yourself...
Wow, Scotty.. I've solved 2 problems w my Cadillac just this week w your help. Big fan..
Scotty is a great resource person, I've learned a lot from him
I love how ol Scotty can school you at a level 10, then repeat it so nearly any competent person can at least grasp the concept!! Scotty is the car dad we all loved!!!
Loved?? Is he still with us?
Can he do Prado fuel pump problem.
Scotty you the goat my boy! I’m working at Honda as lube tech now.And you’ve taught me more than they have the past year !
THANK YOU SCOTTY FOR THE VALUABLE INFORMATION TO KEEP MY CAR RUNNING AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
Thanks Scotty! Always something to learn. I appreciate your knowledge.
Years ago...I had a 1965 Barracuda that still ran after 425,000 Miles-- The body rusted before the engine died... I also had a 1965 Newport with 325,000 miles on it
Simply doing common servicing upkeep on vehicles really really extends the life of any thing you're driving 95% of ppl never lift the hood they just expect them to go go go without any upkeep 😂😂
Brother s 65 Olds went over 300,000, Mom’s Olds, over 249,000. My Oldses are still running, 2 1983/s and 2 1985/s. Why? Frequent oil changes. I’ve since sold them, as they were rust buckets, only the bodies rotted and failed. Mechanically all solid. And still on the road with new owners. Current 05 Vue at 264,000. Frequent oil changes and TopTier Premium fuel.
The four cars I’m responsible for maintaining all take 5w-30. Run Mobil 1 synthetic with the matching oil filter in all of them. Change it out every 3,000. It’s already dirty at that point. Yes, it costs accordingly, but it’s been worth it, with zero motor issues in all four.
What do you do to keep them running this far?
Also, I watch the people drive like idiots....one man said the truck will do what they show in the commercials, just not very long. Push the throttle easy, be careful, etc...
I'll have to watch this video more than once to get all the info presented here. Great video, Scott! Or should I say, "Great Scott, Excellent video"?
Did you figure out what carbon cleaner he used lol
5 things that will make your engine last a long time. 1. change your engine oil + air filter 2. Change your coolant + thermostat 3. Change your transmission fluid. 4. Change your spark plugs 5. Timing belt if your vehicle has one.

Ive always work on my own car and Scotty is the best he really does help on saving money and not getting scammed by a big name shop
I love this man. Great to hear real info to help.
Scotty, about the ATS carbon cleaning system treatment..i checked their own website...both oil and fuel treatments both out of stock today... when Scotty talks people listen.
✏️✏️
So what happens when in the same video he says to use that company’s oil cleaner and then in the same video says not flush your oil. Also, mentions he is impress by their fuel system cleaner, but the previous video (People say I am full of crap) says do not use fuel additives like fuel system cleaners and in other videos tell people to only use ones with PEA which ATS doesn’t have
@@robertt9342 quit trolling
@@jkaw9291 he isn't trolling he is 100% correct
shows as can order now.........
After the carbon flush on git they should put six ounces of marvel mystery oil at every oil change in my opinion. I just like it I been using it for 45 years in All my Engines and tell everybody who will listen I learned About it from a Great Mechanic and race engine builder and race car driver who Dominated the Dirt tracks in Louisiana for 30 Years. And we never had any sludge build up. But the trick is to use the Carbon flush you used about every 50,000 miles and flush your injections system the same 50,000 and Change your platinum plugs at every 50,000 cause they wear out. By breaking down metallurgy molecular. Proven. Cause my partner was crazy about his truck staying in tune.
Wooo. A new Scottie. Lol
Do you think I should do a carbon flush on my bmw 2007 328i it has 149k miles?
I enjoy watching your video's Scotty you are so knowledgeable and one heck of a master mechanic technician! Thanks man!
Such great knowledge, right there! Thx, Scotty!
You are a vehicle repair genius I sure wished you lived next door me !
what is the name of that liquid that Scotty pour into the engine oil ?
My favorite work truck, 2001 Duramax 2500 had a K and N air filter when I purchased the truck. Ten miles per gallon around town (very light in the accelerator). Couldn’t sleep one night last week so I found a stock air filter and supporting parts in my backyard. After running stock air filter my fuel mileage has skyrocketed! Earning 16 mpg around town, guessing 18 or 19 on hiway. So refreshing to have a positive change in general.
Just put KN filter on my Mazda 2, highest mileage was 54.5 and went up to 61.1 with the new air filter vs the OEM.
Scott, I sent my injectors from my '87 Porsche 944 to Injector Repair llc in Upstate NY. Tested, ultrasonically cleaned and retested with data for less than $100 for all 4 ! Big differences in performance 👏
Oh my Lordy!!! For fuel injector prices from my dealer $3500.0
Lo the way you take the time to explain things simply.
Where can I find the brand of carbon cleaner you added to the oil? What is it?
Your my car hero, thank you Scottie.
Hes a Legend. No cons no scams, he tells it in layman terms. I bet a lot of mechanics hate him 🤣
I believe in Rislone. Years ago while my dad was a journeyman auto mechanic he showed me the cleaning capability of Rislone.
Yep...me too.
@Peter Angles It disolves varnish and gum which can lead to sticking of lifters and piston rings. This is a quote that is fact. I've seen the results. Rislone Engine Treatment gradually dissolves and removes harmful deposits of varnish, sludge and gum from the internal metal parts without plugging oil passages. These deposits form within engines and can alter tolerances, stick valves and rings, cause noisy valves and lifters, and plug oil screens and passages. And my dad showed me some pretty nasty looking valve trains and nearly clogged oil passages. If you use it change your oil soon. Customer came back at 500 miles engine purring and we changed the oil again. Very filthy oil and filter was loaded but Rislone did the job. Used it ever since.
Rislone is really good, had a "faulty“ o2 sensor on my car, put it through and 1000 miles after the full cycle the light hasnt come on again, it cleans everything on the inside
What about MMO ??
My car engine ticks and I used a rislone lifter tick quieter in the past, but it didn't do anything
Hi Scotty!! Another great video I need to maintain my 2018 Honda Fit. I always watch your videos for your helpful great tips.☺️👍
Scotty is one hammah!
Scotty is real legend.respect from Croatia.
You are absolutely the best. Keep up the great honest work.
Great video Scotty. If you have this mk5 GTI engine (FSI bpy), make sure you replace your "cam follower" at a regular intervals before it fails (it's a thimble sized piece between the high pressure fuel pump and the intake cam). 40$ part can same a lot of trouble if replaced.
Every 10k miles. So have to pull off the fuel pump every 2 oil changes. If you can get to it. Horrible design too.
✏️✏️
*Scotty what's your method on which scan tool you use? I see you use the Xtool D8 ( the reason I bought one ) a lot. But you also pull out the Think, or a lower grade Xtool.*
I use the Chevron fuel injector cleaner and only Shell fuel, it's the perfect combination. There's a noticable difference in performance in my vehicles and gas mileage if I use any other fuel.
Thank you Scotty for the valuable information and the laughs! 👍🏼
Scotty's explanation of inserting the piston reminds me of my Dad rebuilding his old M&M GB plow tractor, increased the HP a lot, good old tractor but the extra HP put to much strain on the bull gear so we had to change two of them.
Good info. I'm gonna go out and buy ME a tractor Lol
Thank you, Scotty. 🙏
I love watching you ...ur so honest & happy to tell us ur car engine facts
where can i buy the first engine treatment?
Amazing again! Just damn amazing! Stuff ya need to know from the consumate expert. Wow!
The oil explanation of labeling had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤😉👍Scotty Kilmer is so Awesome!!!
Just stumbled on this guy's videos. This guy is the best! I watch at 1.25x speed and it's truly entertaining.
Scotty is solid,every video is packed with useful information.
The best products I’ve found is made by HYDROTEX in Texas I used to own semi’s and one had a 3406 360 hp CAT engine . At 750,000 miles I took it to CAT in Pittsburgh Pa for an overhaul, when the mechanic took off the oil pan , they couldn’t believe how clean it was an almost no wear on the bearings so we decided to put it back together and run it till it dies. Don’t know when that happened because I ran it a couple of more years and traded it in on a new truck with a 3408 , 450 hp . Great videos Scotty, only wish you would take more time explaining the N A M E of the products you recommend.🤓
That supertech oil is cheap and works great in all my vehicles. Can’t believe the price difference when I shop at Walmart for oil versus Napa !
I use to use Castrol, but because of the expense I now have been using Supertech for about 6 years now. The viscosity stays good though 5000 miles. The reason I change it is because of the dirt in the oil. At $17.00 for 5 quarts, it is a lot cheaper that Castrol at about $23 to $27. I always use a Fram filter, at least a Tough Guard.
@@gpkidder the Fram filters are now Chinese made. Garbage.
You're like Forrest Gump smart I noticed with all the hand movements you're probably just a notch or tube above or below a mechanical savant but thank you anyhow because your information is useful and appreciative
The whole oil explanation of the synthetic oil GH6 was above my head. I will listen to it again.
Hi Scotty, just watched the oil change/carbon clean part. Ok engine seems to run quieter after, but what about the engine temp when you first started it? some noises disappear as the engine is up to temp.
You have a lot of honest and to the point knowledge Mr Kilmer. Have one question is mystery oil fuel additive good for engine. Tysm
Scotty, you’re an inspirational. Great video.Thank you.

Love to see a video on best rust prevention to save cars and trucks. Great content and always change the oil.
I have used a small container of brake fluid to clean out old gasoline motors and it worked very very well it actually had chunks of sludge come out and I worked an oil change place
really helpful, I've an Audi with the same engine as the Golf GTI, thank you for the tips !
AUDI A4 !
17:48 If you continuously use solvent based engine flushes . Use a detergent based one so not to harm seals , gaskets , etc
Can you name a few brands? Im learning
Scotty, congratulations on exceeding 5 million followers!
You seem like an honest mechanic. Something hard to find these days
You make everything make sense, even for us ladies , thank you Scotty.
Scotty, you seem to be aging well. I'm thinking that you know how to take care of yourself as well as your car's! Keep well, and sincere thanks for all the great service tips over the years. Slainte 🍻 ☘️
The song goes "Scotty Doesn't Know" but I've followed this particular Scotty's suggestions for a few months and my 300,000 mile Toyota is still climbing the mountain I live on like a champ. SCOTTY KNOWS !!!
I do this with the Hydrogen engine decarbonization procedure - 2 cars so far and the difference was tangible, especially on the older one with high mileage.
Lab analysis of the oil before and after the 15-minute treatment would scientifically show if more carbon has been removed and introduced into the oil. Even doing just a colour comparison of the oil before and after treatment would be helpful. Measuring the decibels before and after treatment would be helpful and present objective evidence.
Yeah, I was surprised Scotty didn't do a little more scientific experiments.
Scotty nos wat up
engine would be quieter based on the new oil alone. should have changed the oil first so that clean oil wasn't a variable in the noise test.
Think 🤔 Scotty and his boy r in cahoots 4 this product.
A man of science
One of the best quality videos you've made
Great material. Is this stuff different to engine flush? Only watched a vid the other day of you saying never to use engine flush which helped me make my decision. but this looks the same as engine flush really? Also no oil filter change? Is that because you change it after a short while with the new oil? Meaning two oil changes.
Scotty , i wish all mechanics were like you . You are what all should be judged by !! Thank you for your knowledge sir. P.S. I love the sign above your garage!! Live free or die!!
Toyota has those exact same of oil filter canisters with the cartridge. I know bc my 2014 Camry has it. My GTI has it too but in the engine bay now on new models.
Chrysler uses a plastic one, too on the 3.6l pentastar engines so it's not just German cars as Scotty implied 😮
Hi Scotty! Great video. Where can I get this carbon cleaner? Thank you.
Hi Scotty, I always learn something new from your Videos. I have a question, I have a 2006 BMW T1200GS Motorcycle. In the Final Drive gear Case. It’s supposed to use 70-90W Gear Oil. I decided to use a 70-90W Marine Gear Oil. That’s because it’s supposed to fight Corrosion in harsh conditions. It’s Synthetic by the way. Was that ok to do? I’m second guessing myself on this. Thanks for all the Work you do making these Videos Scotty.👍👍
Scott you’re a legend. Me looking at that engine is a rocket science. So many moving parts. I just want to drive not it. Scary if engine light comes on.
Ask Customer if they changed brand of tires, I lost 3-5 MPG when I changed to a Goodyear tire. Great against hydroplaning, lousy MPG.
Just found this channel. Scotty you are awesome! Keep making videos
Scotty , and his videos, are "priceless"...................
Great instructional video , have you thought of opening your own mechanic school?
He could certainly work at a Tech School as a teacher in automotive, for crappy pay !
Scotty, my dad bought a mid 90s Mustang that he called me about. Seems he got a 12 cylinder(I explained how the intake runners worked) so even though he counted 12 runners it was actually a 6 cylinder. He next told me he had to get rid of it because it ran " sewing machine oil " which after reading the article in MotorTrend about lightweight oils that myth was desposed of. And yes it is made to run over 200 degrees to help emissions so stop putting water on the engine at 180 because it is not overheating.
Tell him to count spark plugs next time. Not runners, not valves, not bolts on the head lol
You have taught me so much, you have no idea. Thank you.
I just used the 505 CRF Fuel cleaner and love it!!! 2015 CRV Touring, 212,218 miles at cleaning time. No oil burning. Mileage went from 22-25mpg best over the 4 years ownership from 98,000. Used Techron, Lucas, STP, Berryman and none did any improvement noticeable over the years. After 505, mileage high city Ave is 25.9mpg highway topping off at 31mpg numerous times. Worth every penny!!! Shipping only took 3-5 days. Thanks Scotty! Will be doing oil treatment soon. Current mileage 216,055.
Ever try seafoam?
All I can say is Your the best Scotty, I have learned a lot from watching your videos, Now for the big question of the day, What is the oil treatment do you use to clean out the carbon with?
See my post below
