My 2003 Toyota Yaris (Echo) has a battery management system that is very simple to reset. Just put the new battery in, turn the ignition key on without starting the car, and wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute. During that time the car computer will detect the new voltage battery and adjust accordingly.

Great info! I recently found that new electronic battery chargers won't sense a completely dead battery and will tell you it is bad. I replaced a battery over this, only to find later that all I had to do was introduce a 12v current to the circuit in parallel, and the old "dead" battery charged to full level.

Scotty is Right about the oil filter gasket...🤔😊

@carlovanrijk4039 10 дней назад

Yep, I had my oil changed at Pep Boys and they double gasketed the filter while I was on vacay in Florida. Next day I’m in Mississippi and my oil light warning alarm is screaming. Luckily a Kia dealership was just down the road and they were the ones who informed me of the double-gasket. No more Pep Boys for me.

One advantage of the manual transmission is, you can change the gear oil, even if it has been delayed for a long time. But not for the automatic which is so flimsy.

2014 Ford Escape. I go thru a battery every 3 years. The old cars battery lasted 6-7 years. Earlier this year I installed a battery cutoff switch. Every time I shut the car off I disconnect the battery. Working good so far. When this Escape dies I'm going back to a 1980's vehicle that sits in my pole barn. I'm sick and tired of the problems and factory recalls on these newer vehicles. Eventually, I'll own nothing but vehicles 1995 and earlier.

The W stands for winter, not weight. Just learned that a few weeks ago.

@user-ci6ez9lk1l 9 дней назад

@rodjohnson2632 4 дня назад

Yes, the W stands for Winter, but an oil's viscosity is commonly referred to as the oil's weight. Scotty's not suggesting the W stands for Weight, he's merely describing the oil viscosity as is commonly done. And both numbers in an oil's description are specifying the oil's weight. The first number is the weight when cold, the second number is the oil's weight when hot (212 deg F).

The cable is the negative you need to take off if working on any electrical components. Only the negative as you eliminate the feed to the pcm ect.

@nthgth 9 дней назад

I've always known to put the negative on a ground, not the negative terminal. I thought it was to give the (bad) battery less stress during the jump, but that sensor thing is another good reason.

@MrClobbertime 9 дней назад

Because they want you to bring the car to the dealership for high priced maintenance as often as they can.

Love scotty been watchin for years with all due respect i have wrenched for awhile for a livin not along as scott has....yet.

The point about not jump starting directly to the battery negative also applies to when you jump start another car from your car. Basically the black leads should go from chassis/engine of one car to chassis/engine on the other car.

11:58 Some mechanics recommend to use a thicker oil if your car did about 125 000miles. (200 000kms). Can you confirm this? As they explain that the gap between piston rings are wider due to wear and tear. And thicker oil help to seal that gap. For purposes of pressure.
