Scotty finally answered my question about oil changes on my Camry. I just finished the 30k oil change (free every 10k since purchasing new) and wondered if I should start changing it every 5k. I had never sent the question directly to Scotty but I figured this would be his answer. To quote him on this video, “…don’t listen to this 10,000 mile nonsense. Oil is cheap, new engines aren’t.” Thanks Scotty. You rock!

@sportmom2222 Жыл бұрын

The Car Car Nut is a channel on KZfaq, and he is a Toyota Master Tech…he has a video that puts it plain and simple. You will ruin the engine if you change the oil every 10k miles. He states you should change the oil every 5k miles, or 12 months, whichever is first, that is if you want the engine to last. I hope you’ve caught it before it’s too late. Oil is the life’s blood of your car’s engine. Keep it clean. I would recommend getting the oil tested to make sure there is nothing showing up in the oil that shouldn’t be there. If there is, get rid of it b4 the warranty is up. Good Luck to you. Check out the Car Care Nut’s channel here on KZfaq. He goes into detail in layman’s terms. He’s pretty cool, but doesn’t have all the sign language Scotty uses…lol.

The key Scotty shows is the valet key. They give you two fobs with ejectable physical keys on top of that. The valet key allows you to control things like top speed and range from start position so it cant be taken for a joy ride. Bought one of these early 2022 and would give it a 9/10 after the first 18 months or so. My only gripes with it are on the software side and are minor temporary incoveniences, such as the seat not autopositioning if I get in the car and start it too quickly, or it picking up my wifes phone first instead of mine when shes in the house and im the one in the car. Both easy fixes on my end but mildly annoying. Other than that, I couldnt be happier

I always say 2.0T mimics a 6 cylinder. 6 cylinder T or Twin mimics a V8. T typically used in Europe where the larger the engine the more tax a consumer pays. T also for gas efficiency but people stomp on the gas anyways so it negates average MPG. I prefer natural aspirated and no turbo issues and inconveniences.

@@KalvinPatel my wife is a stay at home wife and she drives less than 500 miles a month. It may not worth the few extra $k for the hybrid, but it comes with standard AWD and she most likely will only gas up once a month. Plus the standard non turbo NX250 is a little slow for my taste and the NX350 is a turbo which I try to avoid if given a choice. The NX350H goes from 0-60 in around 7.2 second which is inline with her RX350, which get 14MPG in city driving. So Hybrid is worth it for her. For 25 miles commute per day and if you wants faster acceleration, go with the NX350, avoid the NX250 where acceleration is too slow.

Hey Scotty I see early 10th generation Honda civics are getting more and more steering complaints. Where the steering wheel seems to almost lock at the 12 O'clock position then suddenly release causing drivers to leave their lane. What is going on with this. Is it the rack and pinion or the electronic steering malfunction.

@Marco-yl8cm Жыл бұрын

Based on what I read, it is the faulty design of the electric steering rack. It is also reported by users of the 10th gen Accord and in other markets as well, such as China. I also read that even replacing the steering rack would not completely solve the issue because it will return after a certain amount of miles have been driven. The issue makes it super annoying and exhausting to drive the car, and disappointed is an understatement.

Hey Scotty if she got a early 2021 or older BMW anything 40i she could have got 100 more horsepower and about the same gas mileage AND you could send it to a BMW expert and they can code start/stop to default to OFF instead of ON. Same engine as in the Supra. Toyota knows BMW is the king of the in-line 6, RIP 2JZ. You need to drive a B58 engine.

I doubt ANYONE would replace all 4 tires for blowing out one. Those runflats are crazy expensive.

@jml9550 Жыл бұрын

Personality as soon as the run flats wear out I will replaced them with non run flats. The run flats rides are rough.

I get 61mpg from a $24,000 three year old corolla hybrid driving uber in the city only. With a regular corolla I would have payed 3 times more for gas. In ten years I will be saving thousands with it. It is the only scenario in which hybrids work. Many miles in the city.

In Japan it's called idle stop. I think it's great. Idling wastes billions of gallons. The start up really fast. I don't understand why it bothers them.

@Argedis Жыл бұрын

Creates wear on the engine since the oil stops circulating and those starters are very expensive to replace when they fail. The batteries are more expensive and will wear out faster because they have to run the electronics / AC with the engine off. The gas you save will not make up for those things.

@Horizon301. Жыл бұрын

@@julian-gen lots of people have issues with it but I have been using it for years and years and find it’s very useful. The main complaints revolve around the delay or the AC, not the maintenance side of things. Even in a car lacking with power there is literally no delay with any vehicle from VAG so again, I don’t get the issue myself. I always have it on.

i think the speed limit indicator is based on what the camera reads on the side of the road. if someone is holding a 30 signboard it will think it is 30. 2023 and they still dont have full online navi.
