There's a myth that says if someone is out in their driveway yelling and waving their hands around and no one is around, they are probably crazy.

Just found you Scotty and I’m loving the content. I lost my dad in a car wreck when I was 8 and you are filling the gap of all the knowledge on cars I missed out on. I owe you a few beers. Thanks so much!

He's spot on about super unleaded gas. I have a 2014 Honda Accord 2.4L my kids have named "Dad's Taxi." I switched to regular unleaded from super because of the rising gas prices. I was averaging around 26 mpg (suburban driving) on super and now I'm averaging about 28 mpg on regular and it actually seems to have more pep. 2 mpg may not seem like much, but that's 20 more miles on 10 gallons of gas. That's an extra day of school runs for me.

I remember the Mythbusters testing the air conditioner vs rolled down windows thing. They came to the same conclusion.

[hestushenchman]

Imagine sitting in stop-and-go traffic on a hot summer day, with hot-running cars all around, and you've got your windows down instead of using the A/C to try to save a little money. In my early driving days, I didn't have A/C and sitting in traffic on a hot summer day was brutal.

I once was asked to see if I could figure out why a motorcycle kept having carburetor problems. I ran it until it was out of gas and then the owner told me, "I always put premium in it." I checked what octane it specified and it was low octane. After about a quarter mile of having the correct fuel in it, I had it fixed for her. She was really happy.

“Usually, your head is attached to your body”, very funny Scotty

[RC-ybdp]

I am so happy that I found this guy. I have corrected the mistakes that I have made in the past, plus I have more knowledge on how to take care of my car. Thank You and I enjoy your animated style of teaching.

It’s good to see Scotty and The Car Care Nut agreeing on stuff. Don’t overfill your gas once it stops.

[elkabong]

“Arm
Leg
Firstborn” on the gas pump! That was hilarious! 😂😂😂

[colinevans]

Your so right scotty, love your videos and thanks for showing us

As always, Scotty is right on in this video ! But just one thing to remember if you change your oil every 10, 000 miles make sure you put a high mileage filter on . If you use a regular filter and you go 10, 000 miles the paper starts to break down so make sure you use the correct filter for the higher mileage.

After buying cheap tires for 10 years I bought a good pair and I had no idea how important it was.

[michelecoates]

I love this project!!! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve watched several of your videos now and have just subscribed. 😊

I replaced my spark plugs on my Toyota Tacoma recently at 120K miles. They still looked like new!

I remember back in the day when we used to have to replace spark plugs every 10K miles because they were shot.

The thing about car myths is that many of them were true AT ONE TIME, but not true anymore. People just refuse to believe that things have changed when it comes to doing maintenance on your car.

[herzglass]

The remote key range doesn't depend on its position relative to your body but rather its orientation. Depending on how the antenna is oriented within the key you simply get a better range holding it upright or in a 90° angle towards the car. With most keys I found holding them upright slightly above your head will already give you maximum range. In a parking lot with all the parked cars of course they're gonna absorb the signal if you "shoot from the hip".

The encyclopedia of Scotty... Love this 😎 dude

I used to listen to Car Talk on NPR - Scotty might be my replacement car info show.

[alistairblaire]

My golden rule is to follow what the manual says and disregard everything else. The people who designed the car know exactly what it needs.
