About boosting a dead battery: NEVER, EVER put the negative cable clip on the battery as you did. Discharged batteries emit hydrogen. A little spark will ignite it instantly. Disaster. You clip the negative as far as possible from the battery, on frame or engine parts. And you install the cables on the dead car FIRST then on the healthy car battery, engine non-running, you could damage/fry your alternator electronics. Hey, I know, I live in Canada. Gets frigging cold up here sometimes. Done a lot of boosting in my 45 driving years

I swear to God, I'm not making this up!!! The oil was so black, it looked like Tar! We had people coming in ALL the time, with literally ZERO OIL in the engine too! Not a DROP from the filter or drain plug....Seen it with my own eyes like 10 fucking times. Most of these people drove OVER an Hour with No Oil! Just to get to our shop. (usually hondas, toyotas, 1 Chevy, and Ford E250 Van). I worked as a lube tech, and I saw SO much crazy shit, you wouldn't believe the cars were still running.

You should have mentioned that the easiest way to determine which is the positive and negative battery terminal, is the positive one is always bigger. So ft the markings are hidden, just stand directly over the battery and look down and it's easy to see that the positive terminal is always a lot bigger than the negative :-)

@ARedneckBrony 10 лет назад

Hey Scotty, I'm so so sorry but I just have to prove you wrong on the first one about jump starting. When I went to school I was told never to jump start a car by connecting both of the ground (negative) terminals. Instead connect both positive terminals first and one ground terminal to the other battery and the other on a ground source (header,block,frame...etc) away from the battery. this prevents a possible hydrochloric explosion provided from the arc when connecting the ground cable to the terminal. Most vehicles nowadays have a labeled ground source post in the engine bay.

HAHAHA! I was working at Moss Motors Dodge in Riverside, CA back in the late 90's. So a customer brings in his 96 RAM pickup with the 5.2L Magnum engine in because of a rough running engine. It had 42,000 miles on it. So we went out to look at the truck, pulled the oil cap off while it was running, and it blew all kinds of smoke and oil droplets out. So we pulled it into the service bay and put it up on the rack. When we looked underneath it, it still had the original oil filter from the factory. lol... The guy asked us if we would replace his engine under warranty. lol Man. I could go on all day about some of these people.

@degenret01 10 лет назад

3-4k miles between oil changes is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on car owners. If you drive an old beater in the city with lots of stop and go, you might, might, need to change it at 4-5k. My 2012 Honda just had its first oil change at 8500 miles with 15% oil life remaining. Newer cars have sensors or computers to tell you when to change it. Follow it. We could save 100 million gallons of oil if we did the oil changes when we are supposed to instead of when the sellers of oil tell us to.

@musicbruv 7 лет назад

Another way to check the terminals on a battery is to follow a lead and see where is goes, if it is bolted to the cars bodywork then it is the negative terminal.

@Mr.M1STER 3 года назад

Yes, that's a good tip. Easy to see on older cars where the engine bays are less cluttered but on some modern cars the leads just head off into the abyss of plastic in modern engine bays.

Mechanics know how to open trunks front he inside

@101Volts 9 лет назад

That's not such a problem with a lot of cars made since 2001; they have little "open Trunk" switches inside them.

@funnypranker34 9 лет назад

Ok Austin Lucas, if there is a open trunk switch, where is it on a 1996 honda accord lx and on a 2005 honda odyssey ex-l??

@funnypranker34 9 лет назад

And yes Austin Lucas i actually locked myself in the trunk once and cant get out

@101Volts 9 лет назад

Peter Kapica Sorry, I have no idea. I didn't say such a switch is in a 1996 Honda, but there might be one in the 2005 Honda. I just read that cars made in 2001 and since then have that kind of a switch.

Don't forget not to put power steering fluid in brake resivor

@DrEtzor 9 лет назад

mandy truong Technically power steering fluid would work on the brakes, it wouldn't be as reliable though.

I like you so much Scotty! Love how knowledgeable and enthusiastic you are. Your videos are great!

@1Reddogroad 6 лет назад

i like his presentation , he gets his point across. easy to follow, an remember ! and, has good info for the average car owner ! also, he comes off as someone you can trust ... just sayin'

@SlipKnotRicky 9 лет назад

Shouldn't the negative cable be placed on a grounded spot of bare metal instead of the negative terminal itself?

@KatyBauer1 9 лет назад

As far as jumping a car, I was always told that you connect positive to positive and negative to a ground point on the car that is being jumped, never + to + and - to -.

@DougCeleste 8 лет назад

+Katy Bauer You got that right and not sure why Scotty did NOT mention that VERY important point! Putting the final cable to the negative side of the charging battery could cause sparks which could cause an explosion.

@fuknames2123 8 лет назад

positive to positive and negative to negative on the working car. Positive to positive and negative to ground on the dead car.

@TheGuruStud 8 лет назад

+Doug Celeste You explosion myth lovers are hilarious.

@DougCeleste 8 лет назад

+TheGuruStud It is NOT a myth since it DOES happen! And then it is NOT hilarious!

@TheCoolStuffHD 8 лет назад

+Doug Celeste I've been jumping cars that way for years and never had an explosion. But it has become a recent habit on connecting + to + and - to - on the working car and + to + and - to unpainted ground on the dead car.

Good advise, Scotty. I change the oil and filter in my 1986 Peugeot 505 GTi every five thousand kilometres. Gearbox, differential oils and coolant every year plus a regular shot of grease where needed. New air and fuel filters twice a year. I run it on 98 RON fuel. This maintenance costs me a little more than average, but after 660,000 kms, no problems.

@kerwinwade1884 5 лет назад

I have a Toyota 3ZZ-FE 1600cc VVTi engine and like to change oil frequently and keep checking how the oil looks just to be sure. My engine cover doesn't have the 16 valve in red though. I love these videos

Scotty Kilmer So true! Good mechanic....almost as good as Wheeler Dealers Edd China!!! >;o) Wouldnt it be great if you knew the garage you were taking your car to had a Scotty Kilmer working there!!! Sadly 90% of garages in the UK are a completer ripoff and thats why I have been doing it myself for the last 10 years! Great stuff Scott you should be on television - great presentation skills and interesting with it!

@Whitefox-pc7lp 6 лет назад

Whatever car you're trying to jump start,the negative terminal goes to a good grounding spot on the car not the negative. This adds extra protection from over current and short circuits.

Toyoda Camry...good one. I operated a 2007 Camry /hybrid for nearly 10 years. Never needed a boost, and never had a flat. Never let me down, ever. Never needed a tow......YOU gotta watch WHERE YOU DRIVE, (near curbs) and HOW you brake. Never replaced the brakes, either, as this has regenerative braking. This is in central Alberta, Canada where winters are/can be rather harsh. Ran it as a taxi.......best one ever...waytogo Scottie........sadly, someone ran a stop sign and hit me on the left front corner......totalled it.......

@andressalazar2711 3 года назад

Scotty a decade ago takes little pauses before the jump cut, and it’s wholesome.

Can I add, shorting out a battery with jump leads. Yes I know that was what Scotty was demonstrating, but it still boils my kettle. The number of mechanics I have seen do it is unbelievable.

Also if you feel your car struggling up a hill (even in 1st and 2nd gear) don't lug the engine trying to make it up the hill. It's not worth it man. And after a good uphill run (driving fast) give your car like 30 min. before you try to go uphill again. My car absolutely hated going up hills, and that's what killed it in the end. Also the high mileage but mostly the hill (and possibly drifting on a super bumpy dirt road couldn't have helped either lol) I ran that car to the ground, and now it is time for a new engine. As I have been saying, hmu if you find a nice vvt 1.8L Miata engine with less than 50k miles. These are desperate times
