Wish mechanics were as honest as you. They will do the most expensive things to a simple fix and charge a ton.

Hey man I love your videos. I have problem I hope you can help me. My wife had a Sonata and it was dripping oil from the plug. I did the oil change and I made sure I didn’t cross tread it. I bought a new plug and it slow the leak down but it wasn’t dry. That car is gone and now we have Tucson. I took it to a Oil Shop and they change it oil The second time I got it changed they said it was low. I had to change it again I checked the oil and there wasn’t any oil on the dipstick I freak out and did the oil change myself. I constantly check the oil and it’s pretty much full. I was doing my brakes yesterday and I happen to check the oil pan and it was oil on oil pan. Now I’m confused on why it’s wet. I’ve changed oil many times on other cars and never had a problem. Both cars that leak were Hyundai’s what gives???

[thelagmeister]

Probably from all these top rated shops jacking up the engine with just the oil pan alone.

[laurenbutschli]

What was that part called again? An oil pully?

[simono.]

why change oil early. you couldve done it after with thinner oil, then you d check for oil leaks n you didnt clean where replacement gasket sets in.
