1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Stinking. 2 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: Break repairs are such a critical part of water repair, 3 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: and it seems like in the day and age of computerization, 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: breaks are still something that everybody does and whether you're 5 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 2: a professional or a do it yourselfer, you need to 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: do it correctly. I mean, let's face it, you know 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: that old adage, what's stopping you and they talk about 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: your breaks? Well, we've gathered up Scott Brownstein. He is 9 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: the senior technical manager over there at CRC Industries. Scott, 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: I said that name right right, yes, and he's going 11 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: to help us today talking about some of the important 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: things about break maintenance and repair. Scott, Welcome to the 13 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: Car Doctor. 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: Sir, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: be here. 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You know. 17 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: I always think about there was an ad in the seventies, 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: maybe the eighties, early eighties where they showed the difference 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: of doing breaks, and I think it might have been 20 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: CRC that actually had the print dead where they showed 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: a picture of two mechanics working on cars and one, 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: you know, was doing a perfectly, you know, very nice 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: clean brake repair. The rotors were clean, and the other 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: guy had grease all over the place and you know, 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: there her fingerprints on the brake pads, and you know, 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: and they stressed the importance of cleanliness. That's that's fifty 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: years ago. Cleanliness on breaks. It's just so important, you know, 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: state the obvious, Scott tell us, why let's start here. 29 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you do not want any grease, grime, oil on 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: any of the friction material surfaces, the front of the 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: brake pads where it contacts the rotor, the drums, the shoes, 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: any of those contaminants. When you do your first initial 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: bed in, you can actually just ruin a set of 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: pads and ruggers just by burning those oils into it. 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 3: And it's so important to use a good break parts 36 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: cleaner to make sure all those areas are spotless during 37 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: your assembly. 38 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: Can we talk about that for a quick second. 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: You used a term bed in. 40 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: Boy, I haven't heard that in a million years, but 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: it's absolutely spot on. What is bed in? Explain that 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: real quick. 43 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: So when you have a brand new set of pads 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: and rotors, just it's a relationship. So you want those 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: two materials to wear in together into each other and 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: you go out and most people don't read the instructions 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: anymore nowadays, but most the brake pads have a bet 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: in procedure where you go out and you do so 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: many stops stop to zero, but from fifty down to twenty, 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: and you repeat that a handful of time. So you 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: put some heat into the brakes, you lay them the 52 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: cooled off, and you actually get those two friction services 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: to marry to one another. 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: Now, CRC and I've been using CRC products full disclosure 55 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: here since the late seventies. I remember red, white, and 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: black cans in all of my repair base. CRC offers 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: a non chlorinated break clean That was a big deal 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: when that came out. So why would someone want to 59 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: use that? What's the importance of a non chlorinated break cleaner? 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely? So it comes down to government regulations and all 61 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: the different states have different rules for what chemicals you 62 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: can put into products. So some states you're allowed to 63 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: use stronger chemicals, other states you have to use weaker chemicals. 64 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: And that's really due to VOC's and small contributing compounds, 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: so on and so forth, and. 66 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: It's so it's a little better for you to use 67 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: a non chlorinated break cleaner. 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Is that a misstatement? 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: Is that a childhood myth? 70 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: No, it's a step in the right direction because chlorinated 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: products too, they can contaminate waste oil and things like that, 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: and certain states even ban the use of chlorinated products. 73 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: Son or you can get in every state depending on 74 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: what are the government restrictions for it. 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: What leads to break noise? And let me preface that question, 76 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: because this is a common complaint, right, I just did 77 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: breaks and they're noisy? Did I use too much break clean? 78 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: You know how many times a week I get that question? 79 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: And that's not really it. Break clean is actually the 80 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: safest thing you can use on a break repair. The 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: guys using carburetor cleaner or fuel injection cleaner on the 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: roads because they don't want to buy break clean, they're 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: doing it wrong. 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: Aren't they. 85 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely Some of those products could have oils and other 86 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: contaminants and them break parts cleaner is the right tool 87 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: for the job because it's going to leave no ris 88 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: to do behind. Instruments dry really quickly. Now. Break noise, though, 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: can be contributed to other things I've in the past, 90 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: in my past life when I was a dealership technician, 91 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: I've had a couple comebacks as well. You know, no 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: one's protected from having a comeback once in a blue moon. 93 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: We try to avoid it, and break squeal is very possible, 94 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: and what can happen sometimes is you actually get chatter 95 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: and movement of the brake pad against the caliber, and 96 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: it causes a frequency vibration. So there's a product out 97 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: there we may call this break quiet, and it's actually 98 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: like a tacky gel once it sets up. So you 99 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: put it on the back of the brake pads, the 100 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 3: non friction side, and you're only going to draw all 101 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: the day out in a little squeeze. But all we 102 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: sell it in just where the caliber is going to 103 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: contact that, let it sit for five minutes, tack up, 104 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: put the car back together, and that is actually going 105 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: to dampen and absorb and prevent that frequency vibration from 106 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: a reoccurring, and you have nice quiet breaks again. 107 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: You know, I always, I always equate that frequency vibration, 108 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: and that's that's a great way to put it. I 109 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: always explain it to people at the counter that the 110 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: reason we use this break quiet, the little orange bottle 111 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: is it It's like remember at your high school prom 112 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: when you were bored and you don't know what to say 113 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: to your date and the water glass was half full 114 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: and you're in your finger around the top and if 115 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: you did it enough times and fast enough, it would 116 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: start to distort and make sound. And you thought it 117 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: was the cool thing to do at seventeen. And that's 118 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: sort of what that's sort of what the brakes are doing. 119 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: They're they're finding that frequency point and it just becomes 120 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: a distortion and you're hearing it in the brake squeal. 121 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: And that's what the disc break quiet is doing, right, 122 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: It's absorbing that and keeping the pad from shifting around 123 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: so it doesn't chatter. So to speak exactly, carbon, I 124 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: want to I want to jump around a little bit 125 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: and I want to you know, since I have you, 126 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about, you know, 127 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: fuel system cleaning if I can real quick, I want 128 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: to jump into that. You know, carbon is a big 129 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: issue on today's engines. And I didn't realize you were 130 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: dealer tech, so I'm sure you've got some dealer tech stories. 131 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: About the cars you saw. 132 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: Carbon becomes a problem, and you know today's vehicles everything 133 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: is GDI right, gasoline direct injection, So everybody wants to 134 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: know fuel system cleaning and how to go about it, 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: and why is carbon such a problem. 136 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: Today, can you tell us absolutely? 137 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: So with gasleen direct injection, we're able to get better 138 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: fuel economy, better performance in a smaller displacement engine. But 139 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: we're bringing back an old school problem in these prank 140 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: case vapors come back around through the PCV system. We're 141 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: having these oil vapor deposits land on the intake valves 142 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: that are hot, and they're immediately carbonizing up because the 143 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: intake manifolds plastics of the oil is not sticking there. 144 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: It's going to stick onto the metal down the path 145 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: and we're not having fuel injectors up in the port 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: anymore washing over and clean that carbon off the valve, 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: so they're they're packing up, it gets gummy and then 148 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: it starts causing all these other drivability issues. So cleaning 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: and spraying an air induction cleaning surf product that we 150 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: one of the ones that we make, goes through the 151 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: throttle body and it's going to land and slowly break 152 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: down and emulsify that carbon and allow it to come 153 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: off these intake valves. Another thing is is that now 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: back in the day, you used to use a fuel 155 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: tank additive which would clean the carbon off these valves. 156 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: Even though it doesn't work on the intake valves. Today, 157 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: it's still really important to do that because with these 158 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: direct injection engines, we're using the fuel to cool down 159 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: the cylinder before the next combustion event. And if these 160 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: little tiny pindles on the injectors they get clogged up 161 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: with carbon and then you're not getting a complete cone 162 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: animized spray across the cylinder evenly, which could lead to 163 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 3: hot spots and predetonation. So using a good fuel injection 164 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: cleaner is still important today, even on today's vehicles. 165 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: You make a good point, Scott. And when we come back, 166 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: I want to talk about using tank cleaner and its 167 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: effects on catalytic converters. All right, let's pull over, take 168 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: a pause. I'm ronning any in the car. Doctor. I'm 169 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: here with Scott Brownstein of CRC Industries, and we'll both 170 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: return right after this. 171 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: Don't go away. 172 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: A thousand dollars card ain't worth nothing. 173 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: We are back. 174 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: And before we pulled away and took the pause, Scott 175 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: Brownstein and I we were talking. Scott's from the CRC Industries. 176 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: He's the senior technical manager over there. 177 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: Scott. 178 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: The question that was coming up. We were talking about 179 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: fuel tank at it is. 180 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: Now. 181 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: This is a conversation that started about breaks, and I 182 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: purposely you're blindsided you hearing I'm sorry we're talking fuel 183 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: systems all of a sudden, because I know CRC's history 184 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: with fuel systems too. Tank editives is where the conversation 185 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: was headed. There's a reason beyond the engine why we 186 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: put a tank editive and a fuel tank system cleaner, 187 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: because that helps the catalytic converter too. 188 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Doesn't it. 189 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely so, anything that is coming out of the engine 190 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: has to pass through that catalytic converter, and there are 191 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: things that we can do to help clean the catalytic converter, 192 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: promote a healthy catalytic converter, and make sure that it 193 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 3: gets the full designed life out of it. So it's 194 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: not just even just a passing your emissions test. And 195 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: that's what most people related to is, Oh, it's that 196 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: time of the year. I have to make sure I 197 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: do this. You should be doing this a couple times 198 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 3: a year so you don't get to that point of oh, BOYD, 199 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: now that check engine lights on. I have that forts one, 200 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: that four point thirty code, and I got to go 201 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: for my emissions testing in two weeks. You know, and 202 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: then there's that panic that sets it. 203 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: So that fuel system cleaner, you know, and I'm sure 204 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: there's some proprietary blends of stuff in there that CRC uses. 205 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: They it basically it attacks the lack of a better 206 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: way to say it, and correct me if I'm wrong, 207 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: but it attacks the crud and the catalytic converter and helps. 208 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: Keep the the the you know. 209 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 2: The structure of the cat active so it stays clean 210 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: and it's efficient and it does its job correct. Yes, exactly, 211 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: so vehicle emissions testing because you brought it up, so 212 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: you know, doing tank additive is good preventative maintenance, and 213 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: that's also part of that Tank editive is also part 214 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: of the CRC GDI service pack if we're doing a 215 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: fuel system cleaning, which is where that conversation started, right, Yes, 216 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: so that tank additive part of that pack, and I'm 217 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: sure it's available separately, does a good job cleaning the cat. 218 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: But then there's something else you guys have which I've 219 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: always wanted to ask somebody from CRC about. You've got 220 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: something called guarantee to pass. 221 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 3: Guaranteed to pass, so that is specifically formulate for cleaning 222 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: the crucial emissions components that the fuel touches, including the 223 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: Catalai converter, and with the cost of Calaie converters today 224 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: in the labor to replace them, I always explain to 225 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: people this is the best thing to try before you 226 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: actually have to spend that amount of money to replace 227 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: the Catlee converter. This is using Pea technology, so polyether imine, 228 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 3: and that's what's attaching and breaking down the carbon, and 229 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: that's what's getting all the tough crowd out of the engine. 230 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: So suffice it to say, if anybody out there has 231 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: a vehicle that's burning oil, and I love I always 232 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 2: love these questions, and true to form, they won't make 233 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: the connection until I pointed out. But if you've got 234 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: a vehicle out there that's burning oil, a court in 235 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: one thousand miles, a court in fifteen hundred miles, using 236 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: a tank additive, using something like like guaranteed to pass, 237 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: all right, you know, fuel system cleaner is going to 238 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: help keep that cat healthy because that cat is not 239 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: only digesting exhaust, it's digesting oil, which is a carbon 240 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: based substance, right slogging up the cat over a period 241 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: of time. 242 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that is something that you want to make 243 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 3: sure you get that engine fixed and rectified if one 244 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 3: of those rings are sticking or something's happening, so it'll 245 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: it'll help push you along. But in some cases, too 246 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: much oil or even too much fuel for that matter, 247 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: dumping down a cafe like a stuck fuel injector, that's 248 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: just going to kill the cat pretty quickly. And you know, 249 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: no product on the market's going to help bring that 250 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: cataly converter back. 251 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: Right other than a new catalytic converter, which can range 252 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: in price anywhere from eight hundred to three thousand dollars 253 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: plus labor. So it becomes it becomes a chore, yep, 254 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: and a pain expense. In our closing minute here, Scott, 255 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: you know I want to switch gears one last time. 256 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: QD Contact Cleaner. That CRC makes you know, there's more 257 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: electronics than ever and I love that QD Contact cleaner. 258 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: I've got cans of it around the shop. Why can't 259 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: I just why can't I just use break clean? 260 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: You know, you could use a brake cleaner or a 261 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: carb cleaner and to become a more costly expense very quickly, 262 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 3: because now you have to replace that part. Most of 263 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 3: these parts are in all these sensors that are encased 264 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: in plastic, whether you're cleaning corrosion now that the connectors, 265 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 3: or actually cleaning an m AP sensor itself, everything's plastic, 266 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: and you want to a plastic safe cleaner that's going 267 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: to flush out those contaminants and it's going to dry 268 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: really quick and most importantly not leave a residue behind 269 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: any type of oially residue or anything else. They're going 270 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 3: to skew those sensor readings. 271 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: Now, now suffice it to say that mass airflow sensors, 272 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: you've got a mass airflow sensor cleaner too. You've got 273 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: a mass airflow sensor cleaner. You've got a uh, you know, 274 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: you've got contact cleaner, electrical board cleaner. So if you 275 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: guys are making a cleaner for a specific application, it's 276 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: not just because you want to print out a bunch 277 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: of different cans. There's a specific reason for each and 278 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: every product, and we're better off using it than trying 279 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: to be adventurous on our own, right. 280 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: Exactly, mass airflow sensors are so sensitive that the QD 281 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: contact cleaner could actually damage an MAF sensor, right, So 282 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: it's actually a very specific, unique formulation for cleaning maf sensors. 283 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 2: Cool means Scott. It's been a pleasure, sir. Where can 284 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: the listeners get more information? 285 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: They can go right to our website at seriously industries 286 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: dot com. 287 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 2: All right, hey, listen, you'd be well. You have a 288 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: great rest of the weekend and we'll talk to you 289 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: against soon. Thanks for taking the time. I'm Ronning any 290 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: and the car Doctor. I'm back right after this. Get 291 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: you kid on the road. 292 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: Six six
