0:25 dont overfill or run dry ur gas
2:55 take care of your engine (don't drive all city miles; avoid short trips; warm up the car)
8:10 don't hang things where you shouldn't (don't hang things on shifters, steering, mirrors;
12:18 don't use "Windex" or glass cleaner on infotainment system screens/surfaces (ammonia harms touchscreens)
14:15 car floods: sunroof-drains (clean them) & windshield (improper replacement installation)

Have done everything you recommend, including a break in oil change on my 2022 Venza. I can't believe how fortunate I was to come upon this channel right when I bought my first Toyota. I change my oil religiously every 8k (5, 000 miles) and will continue to follow the Car Care Nut advice. Thank you very much.

I’d rather watch this than listening to Scotty Kilmer say everything is junk or every car manufacturer is shutting down.

I learned the one about the too many keys hanging from the ignition switch when I went to Auto Tech classes in 1977 to 79. Our instructor was a seasoned mechanic that told us of a customer who came in complaining that is car died every time he went over the railroad tracks. he handed them the key and for a few visits, they were never able to duplicate the problem until finally on the third or fourth visit, when they handed him back the key, they just happened to see him put it back on his keychain with about 30 other keys. He said lets take a test drive with all those keys, and they were then able to duplicate the problem.

Top-notch advice as usual. If you own a Toyota and follow The Car Care Nut, you're pretty much all set.

1 don't run the fuel tank low, it kills the fuel pump. Also don't overfill your tank, use the recommended gas: e85, premium, etc.
2 know the basics about your car, will guide your maintenance. Ie if you have direct injection, you need a once a week Italian tune up. Also if you drive short distances this also applies. Avoid short trips. If you have a turbocharged engine: maintenance is critical, especially oil change. Avoid long oil change intervals: cut the manufacturers intervals in half (they only apply to specific use scenarios.
3 don't hang things on things that are not hangers: hanging a bag on the shifter, steering column, rear view mirror. This kills the mechanism = LT damage. don't have too many things on your keychain, it wears the cylinder.
4 don't use windex (ammonia based cleaners), it kills touch screens and tints immediately
5 car floods, that are internal. Especially sun roof leaks, clogged sun roof drains. Otherwise poor windshield replacement / poor seals.

As someone who babies my car, I needed to hear the tip about occasional hard driving for the engine!

[lynskyrd]

Officer, I'm just letting my car breathe ... I'm doing an Italian tune-up sir :)

The Car Care Nut is the only person I trust on YT. He speaks in detail topics that NOBODY else on YT talks about. All these other Car Review channels just read scripts and really know nothing about them! Koodos to The Car Care Nut for a successful 2023 and to a bright 2024!

My father was a retired diesel and gasoline senior Master technician. He taught me everything automotive, but a channel like this provides updates as automobiles have dramatically changed over the decades. I am able to manage an automotive repair shop, my 3rd career after military retirement, but also educate customers. These are excellent points made by AMD. Thank you once again!

[fescudder]

Love the "Italian Tune Up".... works every time!

Good stuff! I'm a huge fan of doing a break-in oil change. I've done this at 1000-1500 miles on every new vehicle I've ever purchased, and every 5000 miles thereafter, with a quality synthetic oil. This simple rule has served my vehicles very well for decades.

[Doomzdayxx]

I'm not surprised this channel has grown so fast. You give sound advice, come across as sincere and seem like you truly care about the average person out there taking care of their car. Here's to 1M subs soon!

[alanmacdonald]

I was an autobody technician for 34 years and have seen it all. Please listen to this advice 100%

[Chidoro]

This video should be required viewing for any car owner. I just forwarded it to my daughter because it’s that important yet so clear and easy to follow. Thank you again!

[kleenk]

Yep...had windshield replaced and opted for OEM only. They had stock windshields, but I accepted the minor cost upgrade and waited a day or two for it. Tech came to the house and told me he was glad I opted for OEM. Perfect install every time and there are no clarity issues with OEM. My experience.

[chrispollock]

As a tech myself I can say you give solid advice. Keep doing good for car owners.

I learned a lesson with glass cleaners in my wife's Mazda CX-5. Cleaned the infotainment screen with glass cleaner and it took off the anti reflective coating on it. It looked like something was smeared on it at first, so I kept cleaning and after a while, realized I screwed up. Ended up cleaning off the rest of the coating and buying a tempered glass screen protector. Don't do what I did.

This is the best video on car advice I think I've ever seen. This guy makes so much sense! Living in the snow belt I would just add keeping your car clean in the winter as much as possible on the undercarriage and also keeping the paint nice and new looking for as long as possible.

[joaoie]

I've done my own valves but the tip on the keys was new to me. Always learning even "simple" things.
