Some engines need to have the oil warmed up really well after an oil change to get the most accurate dipstick reading. Cold oil is thicker and doesn't flow down from the heads well. You can wait all night and it will still show too low in the morning. Hot, thin oil immediately flows down and gives you a higher reading. I found this out when I cold-started my LS1 and ran it for 10 seconds. Oil level was only halfway up the "safe" mark overnight. Shutting it off hot after a commute gave me a level right on top of the "safe" mark. The 5.7 Hemi does this, too.

Hey Scotty, I really enjoy your videos. I learn a lot from your extensive knowledge and experiences. I recently went in for my usual full synthetic oil with factory filter change. However, it was then discovered that my Acura 1.7EL (second top model Honda Civic sedan with the Si engine) was low on oil, near the half way mark on the dip stick. There are no oil leaks. I assume it is because I rev up my engine once in a while and the Honda VTEC engine is burning up the oil. Alternatively, the last quick oil change shop I went to didn't fill it up properly. Firstly, does this harm my engine on slighlty low oil? Secondly, I extend my oil changed slightly to approximately 5,000 miles. Is this a good idea? Thanks,

@shadowwolf7622 5 жыл бұрын

I've never known when to check my oil. Hot or cold? I'm 55. My dad has always said to let it set all night and check it cold, before you start it. But others have told me to check it hot. Some say let it set 30 minutes after driving. Some have told me it is fine to check as soon as you turn it off, when hot. When I was young, the gas station attendant would check our oil when it was hot, as he gased our car and did the windshield. The manual for my Toyota van says check the oil when it is hot. I truly have never figured out which way is correct! Lol.

@kiwidiesel5071 4 жыл бұрын

@@shadowwolf7622 The theory behind checking it when hot is you are getting a reading of actual available oil in the sump after the engine has been completly lubricated as opposed to oil level cold when engine has dripped all the upper areas back into the sump over night, the level will then drop after startup as oil is then circulating around the engine. So cold level will be higher reading than when checked hot for the exact same amount of oil added to the engine. Or opposite if you check it hot it will read more when checked with cold engine. Doesn't matter really for under 4 liter engine capacity but becomes more of an issue for larger diesels 15 liter etc.

In Britain, we are being encouraged by Government to buy electric cars, while most of our public electricity is being generated from burning millions of tons of wood chips which have been trucked half way across North America and then shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to Britain. Just how 'green' is that? Britain traditionally preferred gasoline engines, unlike Diesel engines which were more popular in Europe. Then our Government decided Diesel engines were better, with lower CO2 emission figures, so everyone moved to diesel cars, better fuel mileage, long engine life etc. Now suddenly Diesel engines are demonised by our Government, which has 'suddenly discovered' that diesels emit minute particles, so the bottom has dropped out of the diesel car market. It is the mother of all WTF moments for car buyers. Thanks for all your very wise advice, please keep it coming.

Scotty you will love this. A woman came into an AutoZone here in the Detroit area driving a Suburban. The Suburban was less than 2 years old. She stated that she had no oil in her engine, the vehicle did not come in with any clatter in it whatsoever. She proceeded to buy a 5-quart jug of oil and put the entire 5 quarts into the engine. Now, everyone in the store knows why she has severe oil leaks. Sulphur was almost completely eliminated gas Lane back about the Year 2004. Because sulfur is a lubricating agent in the gas line it caused a lot of fuel gauge sending unit, especially if General Motors products, to fail. A failing catalytic converter will cause a sulfur smell. And almost all the early catalytic converters, one of their biggest parts of the exhaust was sulfur dioxide. Remember acid rain?

Hey Scotty, my 2000 Camry shifts harshly. Could it be a clogged transmission filter?

Look everyone, you are not smart enough to be checking your own engine oil, best to just take it to your local mechanic

nachosNapples that's the best way to create a world full of fuckwits who can't check their own oil...

On My Granada is the “restore” for 6 cylinders and it runs great! I check my oil and coolant on the Granada before I go anywhere. Yet the original engine has over 500,000 miles on her.. I was hoping a used engine be good.... A 3.8-liter v6, or a 302-v8... What are common issues to look out for? Would silicone valve cover gaskets control leaking issues? What are good used engines fetching for these days? What paperwork forms to show the engine is not a lemon? I’m in Texas, and like to find engine shops that can drop-n-swap?

Hey Scotty so how would you fix that low gas mileage transmission issue??????

@broccool2300 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I always thought you had to warm the engine up before checking but when I do this it is hard to check because it seems the oil gets up into the tube that holds the dipstick and it is never a clear reading.
