When changing the differential fluid always remove the fill plug first. If you find you can't remove it you can at least drive it to a mechanic for servicing. If you drain first and and can't remove the fill plug you can't fill it yourself and will have to have it towed to the mechanic.

@dr.mantistoboggan4746 Год назад

If you care about the car, go get the oil hot first by driving, leave the filler cap off when draining and that hot oil will flow better and bring more contaminants out. Prefill oil filter or at least wet the internal pleats so that the engine is starved for oil as little as possible on startup. Magnetic drain plugs are worth buying too if your car didn't come with one.

Scotty, I have a 98 F-150 with 263K miles. Earlier this year I did a trans pan drop and changed the fluid and filter. Previous filter was OEM. And I changed the rear diff fluid which I think might’ve been original…. From how black and dirty it was it seems like that is the case.

Yes 3:05 into the video so true! After many many oil changes over many yrs I finally did the oil filter double gasketing on my 01 ford ranger, half of the filter gasket stuck to the engine. I started the truck and oil just poured out onto the concreate floor from the oil filter seal which was a good thing because if it leaked out slow I might not of noticed it right away. Back in 1989 my high school auto mechanics teacher always said check to make sure the gasket is still on the old oil filter after you take it off otherwise you will double gasket. I guess I got lazy over the yrs because I've never had a old oil filter gasket come off the filter.

Doing it yourself is definately cheaper but it would be best to find out how much fluid is required when you fill the reservoir back up because there is always the risk that the last person who changed the fluid(s) may not have put the required amount in.

@cliffords.8341 Год назад

I'm a retired motorcycle technician and machinist and I do my own maintenance on motorcycles, cars and trucks and I always fill the oil filter with new oil and let it sit while I'm draining the oil and removing the oil filter. When I'm ready to install the new oil filter on, it would have absorbed 95% of the oil and you might lose a tablespoon of oil when screwing it on if it's sideways. This will cut your oil light out quicker than a dry filter which is what you want. From what I have learned is the oil and fuel filters have to be primed or damage can happen from lack of oil and or fuel even for a few seconds. Also changing the rear differential on a rear wheel drive vehicle is important. Snugging up on drain bolts may work when done right, but I use a torque wrench. Why not, I have four different ones. 😁

I'm a HUGE fan of Slick 50. Been using it since it came out in the '90's. I put it in my car in the winter and summer months, when temps are the hardest on an engine. Teflon is one of the greatest lubricating ingredients ever invented. Slick 50 is 4 times more lubricating than oil, and leaves a film (does not drain fully into oil pan) so you do not end up with a dry start. And will pay for itself with 2-3 MPG better. I also properly maintain my engine (don't wait for something to break before replacing it), and with Slick 50 I have NEVER had an engine break down in my cars over the last 30 years! And they run forever. Over 200K miles on some and still running strong even after selling them (to friends). Only 1 car has left me stranded when starter went out. My fault for not replacing sooner. And yes I am a mechanic, my strength being engines, large or small. Just a mechanic with a limited budget. lol.

@bryanfews5295 Год назад

@ronmorrell9809 8 месяцев назад

I liked their advertisements back in the 70s. I used it a few times with no ill effects, then couldn't find it for a while. Having gotten out of the habit, I never restarted using it. In the intervening 30 years, I've purchased used cars and run them well past 150k before being crashed into, or my needs changed. Never related to lubrication. Thus I decided Slick-50 has no benefit for me. Do your own internet searches and decide how you might benefit and make your own informed decision.

Question I recently purchased a 2023 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition and is running great. The manual states I should change the oil and filter at 7,500 miles but was thinking of doing the change at 6,000 miles? Any suggestions anyone? Also I have noticed some people change their oil once it hits 1,000 and then change it every 5,000 miles from there. Would that be recommended? Currently at 700 miles in a month thus far. Thank you.

@karoltakisobie6638 Год назад

Manual transmission oil isn't lifetime fluid either. Change it when you buy car and 60-70k later. Use proper oil-look up manual, it's all there. Air filters -you have likely two of those. Engine and cabin filter. Find cabin filter and check it out. If you don't feel like changing it at very least blow it clean with air or make one. They are very easy to make from new furnace filters.

@HR-wd6cw Год назад

Oil, transmission fluid and coolant are the three biggest ones, and transmission fluid and coolant are probably the most negletected (partially because dealers tell people that transmissions have lifetime fluid, which is true, if you only want your trans to last 100,000 miles or less). But even for a normal car with a geared automatic transmission (not a CVT) even if you just changed the oil only, you would likely still get 150k miles out of it as most can go to about 100k before needing coolant or transmission fluid, and some can go farther, although not advised. But oil is something that you HAVE to replace at least every 6,000 miles or so as it breaks down the fastest of the three. I would also say just get tin the habit of changing your trans fluid and your differential fluid together at the same time, that way you can keep track. Usually on most vehicles the differential fluid can be done every 60k or 100k miles, which is about when you should probably do your trans fluid anyway. On the flipside to not using heavier oil, don't use lighter oil too. So don't use the new 0W-20 or 0W-16 in an older vehicle that needs 5W-20 or 5W-30, it will likely get too thin when hot and cause premature wear. Use the oil that is listed in the manual or on the cap. Brand doesn't really matter in the end, as long as the viscosity is correct, it is the correct type (synthetic or conventional) and it's at the proper level (not too low/not overfilled). The key is just to have clean oil at the right viscosity.

Not easy changing transmission oil on a 2010 Scion Xb. Have to remove part of the sub frame to get to all the bolts on the pan. Which there are about 20 bolts. Then you have to be careful draining it because there is NO spout, just the square pan. Then once off, throughly clean the pan and the magnet. Then CAREFULLY place the gasket on the pan. Helps to put the bolts in the holes to hold the gasket on.

@Mo-nj4yi Год назад

Plz help me, I bought a used Camry 2011 like 8 months ago and it has 160,000 miles, I don’t know if the previous owners have changed the transmission fluid before and the car doesn't have dipstick to check it, so do you suggest me to go ahead change it? The car drives and runs perfect but I hear lot of people say if your car over 100,000 or 150,000 miles! Don't change the transmission fluid, like if you do then you will damage it

Crank case oil works well as "bar and chain oil" for your chain saw. True recycling.

@Outdoorsy368 Год назад

Yup I do that

@dr.mantistoboggan4746 Год назад

Limited slip differentials NEED OEM fluid, you can't just use gear oil. Really for all Japanese vehicles you intend to keep you can only go off brand with engine oil and tires. Even on Honda open differentials (rear) you have to use OEM fluid or they will fail before they should.

@ufork Год назад

My 26-year-old Miata begs to differ.

@johncurtis142 Год назад

You can go off brand. If the diff requires lsd requirements and you use quality mineral oil like my 2004 hilus, using quality like penrite is fine. Just as good. My diff is smooooth as.

@nordicpride9708 Год назад

No. Limited slip additive yes. Most Oem diff fluid is garbage. Much more superior synthetics can be sourced ie REDLINE, AMSOIL, M1, HPL,Valvoline… You need to visit bobistheoilguy and learn a few things…

In a previous video you said it’s not necessary to change the trans fluid. In this one you say it’s absolutely necessary.

🎉 hey Scotty can you please tell me where can I get one of those resistors so I can use to reprogram my trail blazers computers you said it takes a 10-watt 1-ohm resistor to do where can I get I know my question does not pertain to a little change which I do every 6 months. Thank you

I know Scotty exaggerates sometimes, but that oil was night and day in comparison. Makes me wonder what mine looks like, cause the dealer told me the same mess about lifetime fluid. Smh. I'm gonna get mine changed.

I had the bright idea to go to an independent mechanic to change out all the oils in my Subaru. I made sure to buy the correct CVT fluid and Differential oil, only to have the shop fill my Front Differential with CVT fluid (Subaru AWD transmissions integrate the front differentials into the CVT casing) 2 weeks later my CVT grenaded while on a road trip. Lesson learned - do it yourself or get an actually trained professional, and don't go to the cheapest mechanic.

@noseboop4354 Год назад

Subaru is pretty notorious for this. Lots of mechanics have drained the transmission fluid thinking it was the engine oil, they look similar and are located too close together.

@Mali26120 Год назад

2014 Chevy impala 2LT 3.6 engine , I change oil every 3k miles and transmission fluid every 30k miles currently at 117k

@cormaro13 Год назад

Get rid of it lol those 3.6 are trash , I had one and wasn't worth the payment , ac evap core went out and the torque converter cause chevy can't program shift point to care lol Then you have timing chains to do

Nice magnetic drain plug. I just got one. 1. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (Cheap second best) or Amsoil Signature (Expensive best). Purolator Boss filter. 2. Lubegard (Pricey) or Amsoil (Expensive). I don't have an AWD, so no recommendation. haha.

@Doc1855 Год назад

Subaru recommends to never change the transmission fluid, but I was talking to my mechanic and he knows that I change the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid every 30K miles on our 4WD pickup. My mechanic told us that he recommends that we change the transmission fluid on our Subie’s every 60K miles, but continue to change the front and rear differential and transfer case at 30K miles. I’m a maintenance nut so I make sure our vehicles are very well maintained at all times. It’s too expensive to buy a new vehicle, so we keep ours for 200-250K miles before replacing them.

@tera4079 Год назад

Just got an old 2007 avalon with 150k miles on it. Carfax doesn't say anything about transmission fluid changes. Has a periodic recommended maintenance performed and fluids checked at the dealership. Now I'm worried whether it has the original transmission fluid.

@markw4692 Год назад

Just drain and fill. Do not flush the transmission fluid. Flushing will push the contaminants into all the deep crevices of your neglected transmission.
