Scotty, my girlfriend has a 2014 Malibu with 80k on it. Her manual says the trans fluid should have been done at 60k. Should I change it/flush it/or let it be? Keep up the great videos
@@kbdadriftking Change it now your not that far over. If it had 170 on it then it might be different.
Hey scotty, what do you think of a 2001 toyota mr2 with 97k miles with a 5 speed manual transmission for $5000?
Scotty, My Aunty Drives The 03 GS300 Back Then.
@@kbdadriftking At that mileage, leave it alone. It should have been done at 40,000 miles, and a drain and fill only -- never flush.
Scotty is great when it comes to working on a vehicle. Most mechanics on KZhead are working from a hydraulic lift. NOT MANY people have a lift in their garage and Scotty is smart enough to realize this. Great video. Thank you for producing a video that the average man can relate to.
I hope he used jack stands before crawling under that car. Jacks sometimes fail.
He did, he said it in the video and showed a stand.
Scotty’s videos are like my morning and after work rituals, i have to watch them when i wake up and also once im off work
Yep Scotty is part of my daily routine too. Always something interesting to learn about.
You got a heart from the man himself. Butterflies......
mysterious144 i always learn alot from him and he always makes his videos very fun compared to most mechanics here
T Hare it truly made my day actually, im at work now and when im done ill watch his videos past midnight he is that amazing
Scotty's videos represent the best of You Tube, hands down.
Thank you Sir Scotty! I'm a lady driver and owner and a long-time subscriber from Philippines. Some mechanics are suprised to know that I know a lot of things about the car. It's because I watch your videos, I'm not a mechanic but it helps a lot when I talk to my mechanics whenever I visited for a repair. Just like today, I know that my oxygen sensor is bad so I need to buy a new one and have my mechanic replace it for me, but before doing so, I have to re-watch this video because you know.... knowledge is power!
Scotty is such a genuis mechanic. He has solutions to all problems. I really wish I had a mechanic like him living nearby. There is an issue and he resolves it rapidly, with precautions and without any trap.
Thank you Scotty for taking the time to share the great information that you share. It is greatly appreciated!
To all of you out there I remember Scotty Kilmer is the man and he knows what he's talking about keep up the good work Scotty
Scotty you are a legend.... Thank you !!!! for all that good content
Scotty gives me info I didn't even know I needed??? Thank you
Scotty is so calm. If i were to do this I would be cursing that plug.
Hands down the best mechanic for KZhead advice on car repairs.
I used to do my mom's car. Scotty Kilmer is a TRUE SCOTTY
Be sure you apply anti-seize paste on the threads of the O2 sensor before you reinstall it, or you'll have a devil of a time getting it out without destroying the threads the next time.
They come with it on them already under plastic cap
And don't buy generic o2 sensors. Be sure to use the brand that is original equipment to your make and model. Cars can be very finnicky about this. There are many crappy generic sensors that are cheaper, but don't work well at all. Also, if you replace one sensor on a bank, it's a good idea to replace the second one as well, because a new sensor and an old sensor might not agree with each other very well. These things can be a pain in the butt, but if you spend a few extra dollars and get the right OE parts, your car will be much happier.
That’s awesome Scotty thanks for “Letting Me Know!).
This fella is great. I wont lie, i watch his videos when i dont even have this problem with my car. He cracks me up. its all good imformation.
LMAO! He shows a pic of congress’ building when he said scumbags 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😜
the Usually Scheming Aristocrats in DC
they're the Usually Scheming Aristocrats
you are great mr scotty,love all your videos.keep posting them,thank you
Keep up the great work, you make the material easy to digest.
Scotty you're the best.Thanks for your honest automotive knowledge and experience. I'm contemplating on buying a used vehicle,preferably a mid sized truck. I don't drive a manual but I want to learn on my on without harming that system.Any suggestions out there will be appreciated.(Not trying to spend a lot either!
Hi Scotty...I enjoy these videos...keep up the hard work!
hello and thanks!
What happens when you're strut's fail
Scotty your delivery and terminology is absolutely brilliant...you make me laugh as so much is the same in Belfast N.I I wish to have met such an honest michanic like you but they are as rare as Hen's teeth... Never stop .. From the expat in PATTAYA THAILAND
Been awhile here 🎉thanks for the Video
Scotty, you are awesome! I have a check engine light recently came on. Car is running like always. Had it scanned and the read out was talking about bank one and bank two running too lean. Thanks to you, I know what banks are. I'm replacing fuel pump and filter. Car only has 135,000 miles on it. Don't know why fuel pump is going bad so soon after 22 years! Go figure!
You Sir, are an amazing gifted individual who has a rare commodity called common sense.....I look forward to many many more videos from you as I find them very helpful. Oh and I love the humour too!
How can a commodity be rare? 😝
Once again, awesome information. Great video as always.
Thanks Scotty! Your videos are awesome.
Scotty, great job on your video's. just a thought, wouldn't it be awesome if car manufactures actually engineered in a way that made it enjoyable to repair things knowing that cars will break down.
I always put a lil copper Anti Seize on O2 threads. Not a lot tho, don't want it do get on sensor 👍🏻
You do a great job. And you pump more content than any other channel I subscribe to. 👌
As always, great stuff buddy 👍
oh scotty you crack me up with your puns and jokes😂. You're a true legend ❤️👍
I know I love this guy
Nice SC430. I like "all that plastic crap" underside my cars although it is tedious to remove and does not make for a quick inspection. My BMW is almost fully covered front to back. What it does that I like is it works to minimize corrosion from the salt and dirt,makes for smoother quieter airflow,better mileage and can help pinpoint drip sources.
That is very interesting. Never knew why they had the plastic under the car. Your explanation makes perfect sense.
I'm sorry for your future
@@lunarpitch You referring to me having a BMW ?, haha. Good thing I'm a decent mechanic and also have a Lexus
Correct. My BMW has that too.
johnmichael karma yeah and it also protects the engine an oil pan from scrapes and rocks flying up.
Scott is the very best thank you Brother.
Thanks for that information 👍
great video , keep up the good work . i learned something new today . Thank you
2:45 I SWEAR THOSE FREAKIN CLIPS!!!! Those damn things have been the hardest most frustrating things to remove on some car jobs Ive done. Drives me a craZzzy! 💣🤯
Always use anti-seize on the threads of the sensor when changing these O2 sensors most reputable parts come with a little package of anti-seize anyway and it's just doing yourself a favor the next time you change one or shows a little mercy to the next mechanic if you decide to hire someone.
A+ sir. I don't think auto mechanics even know what it is. 👍
Just use a 1200lbs impact wrench
Dude I love your voice and videos. You made this fun and less stressful when I was looking up videos on how to change and oxygen sensor for my 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7 L v6
Dennis Hopper of the mechanic's! Very well explained video Thank You!!
“I don’t know why Toyota makes these. They’re absolute scumbags.” 😂
😂😂😂
Was scotty being sarcastic?
Scotty didn’t get his cheque yet
@fre d ik it annoys me to when people say it i meant is sarcasticaly
That whole part made my day. Omg ahahaha aahaha
Your community is so lucky to have you Scotty.
Nice demo Scotty , have a great day.
Thanks, great Information.
Great scotts!
The connectors on exhaust sensors are a pain to unlatch, as they use Class 4 150C capable plastics and seals. Over time the silicone seals can bond in place from the heat and the plastic stiffens. The best method is to push them in the mating direction first, press the latch hard, and then unmate.
U can rub brake fluid on it and let it soak it for 5 min
Great Video. But I would recommend you place some anti-seize on the rings of the censor.
You are so funny, I like watching your side picture with the laughing horse!
A talented man with at least two skills I know of - Mechanics and Videography. More I'm certain. I hope you're a millionaire Scotty. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Scotty is the greatest love watching his videos I have learned a lot
Thanks Scotty!!! FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINS THW O2 SENSORS!!!!!
Can oxygen sensor triggers knock sensor code? Also can it cause the car to not change from 3rd gear to 4th gear?
Thank you for that. My fleet of Toyota vehicles is becoming a headache with all the O2 sensors going out. I guess I can't go too long before replacing them (?).
I've always been amazed at how people I see getting under a car without a jack stand.
Saw a car crush my lead tech when i was 16 and doing oil changes. I always put spare tires underneath now even if there are jack stands
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai no, damn near lost both legs though. Terrifying
David Oconnell Did he survived or suffer any head trauma?
@@Lightning-gg5iumajority of the damage crushed him right below his waste line. He can't work anymore and now uses a cane to get around. Been almost 7 years now and he still hasnt recovered from all the nerve damage
I never get under a car without jackstands. I just let someone drive over top of me. 😄
Thanks Scotty I learned something today..👍
Scott, I just LOVE watching you in your videos! AND you are a genius too.
"Plastic crap" - Scotty 2019
Lmao
Here in Canada I have no ever been able to remove a o2 sensors without having it glow red.
Thanks Scotty. Another Gooder!
Scotty. I had simmilar problem, but rather DPF related. There is a pressure sensor right behind and after the DPF, which tends to fail about 150-200k km run. If it fails it makes car reduce power and it runs snail like. Me and my dad experienced that. Also VW/Audi with TDI engines will confirm.
Just replaced my two 02 Senors on my 94' Celica with over 340,000 mile on it. It runs like a brand new car.
Great video and info considering the awkward position that the sensor is in, thanks Scotty.
Very informative. Thanks.
Thank you Scott
Thanks for using that safety jack stand. A true fundamental. The young Scottys need to form good habits. It also gives full confidence and a guy can relax while under a couple tons.
I had an '05 Accord with a bad O2 sensor. I pulled it and suspended just the tip in gasoline over night. Screwed it back in and it was still going strong years later when I sold it.
I ran Cataclean and my check engine light went off, after my computer was scanned and they told me I needed an o2 sensor. 3 years later, haven’t had another problem.
@@miketonon7946 A lot of mechanics swear by using lacquer thinner in the gas tank to clean the catalytic converter.
I’ve heard about that. Have you tried it?
@@miketonon7946 I haven't needed too since I found out about it.
How does it work? Like what makes it function again? How'd you know that was the problem?
Wow thanks, it's very helpful
thank you Scotty, your videos has helped me alot,
The SC430 is a great vehicle
I have one and love the heck out of it!!
Aren't they just a ls430 but Coupe right?
Agreed, IDC what others say, but I love the SC430!
"The Worst Car in the History of the World"
The TAXI KAB correct
"Stupid pastic crap" laughed when he said that, but then thought of my Honda that has that too.
j d HA HA HA HA ! Lool !
The ironic little things, huh?
Thank you I learned a lot
Thank you for letting me know❤️👌🏼
Scotty! Hi! You're amazing. Have a great day 😊
hello thanks you too!
Tow sentences I learned from you Scotty. "Plastice crap" "Endless money pits" Love the show :)
Throw away cars. I'm going back to cars pre smog here in California, and cars that won't get thrown away. Got one more to get rid of.
Love your video. Your way of explaining is motivational
Thank you Scotty for the marvelous advise
I knew it couldn’t be that big of a problem, the SC430 is damn near indestructible.
I know right ,i have an 02 sc430 and never had a problem ,the only thing i replaced was the timing belt water pump and still runs better than most new cars
Mine too. Had to change the battery after not driving it a week or so. Got a battery maintainer for winter after that.
You’re the man Scotty !
Great video SCOTTY!!!!
Thank you Mr.Scotty for this video.
I love how it's never just "plastic," it's always "plastic crap!" 🤣

I'm glad I live in a state that doesn't require vehicle inspections.
What state is?
Florida used to do them and then they commissioned Florida State University to do a study and found that less than 1% of accidents in Florida were caused by faulty cars and believe it or not, they stopped doing them because they felt they were wasting resources and the inspections were a waste of time. Imagine that! Understand that states that do vehicle inspections perform them to steal money from their residents, that is the only reason for them $$$$$$.
Adams county PA doesn’t require them
@@libertatusinperpetuum2046 This has been found in several states in independent studies. In study after study the result is safety inspections have NO MEASURABLE EFFECT ON SAFETY. Those studies are fascinating reading.
@@rontiemens2553 My whole point. Accidents are caused by PEOPLE who aren't paying attention, not by their cars.
You are an absolute genius
First time watching your channel. I like your demeanor so I'm subscribing. Wish all mechanics were like you. To the point and funny.
You can use a pick/hook tool to lift the clip on the plug and will slide straight out 👍
4:05 "one hand job" What? No meme?
3:46
This the best demonstration video
Awesome knowledge really helpfull great work sir
I literally had to change my bank 1 sensor 1 and bank 2 sensor 1 just last week and hardest part for me. Was just unplugging the darn thing
How do you know it has gone bad please?
Hey scotty. My car has p0172 code(system running too rich). I already changed the oxygen sensor and the maf sensor, do you think that the fuel regulator has something to do with it as well? I need to pass my emission test
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
the greatest auto mechanic teacher ever.
That's why I love Scotty. Most do it yourself vloggers wouldn't even mention how hard those things are to unplug or just lie and say it is easy to make themselves seem like super experts.
Indeed
Hi Scotty, what do your recommend for help removing a really "stuck" o2 sensor ? thank you for all your great info.
Greatest mechanic on the planet 🌎 👍👍👍👍from 🇦🇺
You can "BANK" on my 94 Toyota Celica not having a bunch of check engine lights on the dash and you can take that to the "BANK".
Can’t see the check engine light if you open the dash and take the bulb out
We're is show off Sunday?
Thank you Mr. Kilmer
Thanks Scotty 😎
