Hi Scotty, You probably wouldn't want the original Roadster, because you cannot travel across country and use chargers. The original Roadster only plugged into a standard wall outlet. It wasn't until the next model(s) came out that they were able to use the supercharger network.

Standard Oil of Indiana created the first synthetic motor oil from natural gas in 1928. Standard Oil tried marketing it in 1929 and quit due to little interest and the stock market crash. The US military became their best customer for the synthetic oil as they tried it out in their various vehicles and aircraft. The vehicles, tanks and aircraft used in the North Africa Campaign used synthetic motor oil since it resisted thermal breakdown when subjected to high temperatures.

I'm 59yo. Every car we've ever had had the oil was changed every 8000 miles with Mobil 1 Synthetic. My wife drives about 20k miles a year and I do about 40k miles. We keep our cars for between 250k and 300k miles AND WAY over what most people keep their cars. Since 1981 we've had Dodge, Chrysler/Plymouth, Ford, Chevy, Honda and Toyota. NONE of our vehicles have EVER burned oil or had a engine oil related mechanical problem. One Our 96 Dodge Grand Caravans had the trany replaced at like 80kmi but our 2005 GC never had any problems in like 260k miles. We almost always buy new and always change the oil the first time at 500 miles and again at 4000. Then every 8000 miles. We will continue to do so! Current vehicles, 2024 Honda Pilot with 3k miles first oil change was at around 500mi, 2015 Toyota Highlander with 218k miles. Doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil! 2004 Ford Expedition, 5.8L 286k miles and always since day one burned a maybe a cup between oil changes. Dealer said it was normal for the 5.8L 🤔🙄 I'm not giving advice, just our experience. Your experience may be different!

Why changing the oil at 500 miles?
@TomFYouTube26 күн бұрын
@@edgarv.611 back in the late 80's and early 90's I had a very good friend that was a fully certified Toyota Mechanic. He spent over 20yrs turning wrenches with Toyota and is now Service Manager at a Toyota Delership. He told me in the 90's the first oil change is the most important and should be done around 500 miles. When a vehicle is manufactured all the engine parts are very tight and need yo be seated or worn in. This causes many more microscopic metal particles to enter the oil stream. Most of those particles will of course be captured by the oil filter but some will pass through or remain near moving parts for longer. It makes sense to me and is cheap insurance to help prevent premature wear.

Your description of what synthetic oil is, is completely wrong. Steam and acid have nothing to do with purification. Acid units called Alkalization units raise octane. Steam is used to strip light ends out of heavy hydrocarbons. Way oversimplification but not enough space here. You might look up the process of Hydrocracking and the real process of what makes synthetic oil. I watch your channel from time to time, but you would do good to research oil processes in general. There is a lot of wrong thinking about oil out there. A 31-year oil refinery worker here.

@sierraecho8843 ай бұрын
Hi automotive engineer here, I hope you allow for my insight. You don´t need to use synthetic oil, nor do you need to change it after only 2500-3000miles. Synthetic oil (long life oil) is rated for roughly 18000-37000 miles (30000-60000 km). Mineral oil is rated for ca. 9000miles (15000km). So the only difference is, synthetic oil is more wear resistant and can be changed later. Since you change your oil only after 3k miles it does not matter in your case unless you want to save the environment and money. You can basically tripple your oil change interval, nothing is going to happen to your motor. Just change it after 2 year, even if you drive little. Because oils do degrade over time as well.

As a former Analytical Oil Chemist two things are important. 1. Fuel dilution and wear. Fuel dilution is the amount of non oil components, which includes gasoline, diesel, and water. Low mileage vehicles are more likely to suffer from this. This results in increased wear, and a low mileage vehicle can be as damaged as a car running many thousands of miles. This leads onto the second, acidic by products of combustion, a formulated oil is designed to absorb a certain amount of products before the oil's ability is exhausted. The difference between a mineral oil and a synthetic oil is its consistency to resist shear and the amount of acids in it. (Ryazan is the worst with up to 5 %!). A base oil as its known, the source can vary wildly, and so to change its resistance to shear, in other words gets thinner and less able to cover moving parts and so have to have an additive added to make them 'thicker' so needs a thickening agent (PAO). Synthetic oil is made with neither problems and can be used, therefore, in engines with tighter tolerances as there is much less wear. It can be designed to last longer in fast running and hot engines, though the issue of fuel dilution largely remains.

I typically try to change my oil every 4 months. 3 oil changes a year has worked for me and I have not had issues with longevity of my vehicles. An oil change 3 times a year certainly doesn't hurt.
@Meditations20243 ай бұрын
This sort of thing has a lot of previous testing (of the oil). It does depend on both the oil you use and the engine you put it into. Bad piston rings will dirty your oil faster and good oil lasts a lot longer. Fleets will often test their oil and use the results as the imputes for changing the oil rather than "mileage", which is pretty much a meaningless metric at the end of the day. A rough estimate of hours or rotations. I personally change my Turbo Charged low oil consuming engine's oil with Mobile One extended Life and Filter, about $35 from Walmart, once a year or about 6k miles for me. I'd be comfortable doing it every 10k miles too. You don't have to believe me, pull a sample at 3k, 5k, and 10k miles and see for yourself. Have them tested. Always get the filter to match the oil too. I alwasy advise people to use a good synthetic, I would never use conventional motor oil knowing what I know now. Engines cost more than oil. A lot more...

Scotty , my name is Cullen king. I am a 26 year old Florida man. When I listen to you speak I know without a thread of doubt that you are telling me the truth. Whenever I repeat what you say to my elders they look at me sideways and dismiss what I might know because I'm young. My boss, told me he had a sealed automatic transmission haha with no vent caps. The work truck had transmission issues for a while and I said this. Garry you drove through deep water during the hurricane. You sucked water into your transmission. He didn't want to heat it. Now when he bought his new truck I told him about the turbo. You told all of us that with turbos that are engine cooled you should idle them after strenuous driving for 3-5 minutes. Low and behold. The funny dismissed your knowledge which was related through me (of course) until I showed him his own truck manual. Low and behold the manual said exactly what you said. Maybe because you know what you're talking about. Just saying. Thank you Scotty you have helped me more than you will ever know, and if I can ever repay you for all of your knowledge you have given to me. Please personally reach out to me I will help you every single way I can. Like I said I'm a 26 year old Floridian I work construction and I'm one of the few real men this country has made. So that being said if you ever need help with anything. Please do not hesitate to ask because I owe you Scotty Kimber

Don’t understand what’s different in the USA compared with UK and Europe. Here we only have to change oil every 10,000 miles or once a year whichever comes first. I’ve owned cars which have done over 250,000 miles and the engine still ran perfectly. Why is the oil change interval so different in the USA?
@raymondreiff81703 ай бұрын
Our fuels aren't as clean as Yours in Europe is what I have been hearing, Even Diesel fuel isn't as good here 🇺🇸, Many people with Paccar-DAF Heavy Truck engines are having increased fuel injector failures because of it, So many have to run Special fuel additives made by Power Service to help slow down these failures, But we probably run our unit's for much longer and harder here, Because of the long distance runs these driver's do here, 1000k is a short distance here, California to New York 4,612 K or 2866 miles, Also 8047 k is 5001 miles so you're probably changing oil at 10,000 kilometers is my guess, Could be wrong of course.

folks, its not just the miles, its time as well as what kind of engine you have. Direct injection gasoline? Change more frequently. Diesel? At least 2x a year. What kind of driving? Short runs, cold weather, never letting it get up to temp for long? All wreak havoc on the oil. Also make sure the amount is up to the proper level or you will make the oil run too hot and it will degrade it further. Lots of different parameters to look at

Explosions Scotty? Cmon man! An explosion in the combustion chamber is a detonation by definition. You NEVER want an explosion in the engine as that means the flame front is supersonic and can tear bits of metal from the piston or rings or even can create small cracks in the cylinder walls if it goes on continuously. You want a controlled low flame front speed, hence the octane rating in a gasoline engine. Never use the word explosion in an engine again!

I found (and bought) a mint condition '94 Corolla wagon with 8,500 original kilometers in '21. JDM; from Japan, which means it has to be thoroughly checked every 1-2 yrs to be roadworthy. I researched its docs (it was pretty much a wallflower in terms of buyers because it's a Corolla not a GTR) it sold for $2k in auction, rated a 4.5 our of 5 condition. When it arrived it might as well have been brand new. There was no problems with it because it didn't just sit for decades; it was maintained for use, minimal as it was. Corolla G-Touring Wagon model is sharp looking with paint scheme and front bumper valance (or whatever you call it) and small wing on the tailgate roof. I've driven it every day in Hawaii, I'm retired and only do about 20 miles a day, put 10k kilometers on it. It will outlast me I'll bet.
