1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, bang zoom, and away we go run

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: an Innie in the Card Doctor here at eight five

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: five five six ninety nine hundred as we cruise along

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: this hour. There are two hours of the Card Doctor

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: every weekend. I should point out there's this one, which

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: is actually the second hour. There was a preceding hour before.

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to an affiliate and they only

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: take one, say hey, I want my two hours of

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Car Doctor and I want it to go. Oh you

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: want it to go, well, then you got to get

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: out to the iTunes store and download it.

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: There.

Speaker 1: The Card Doctor with you wherever you're going. Speaking of goal,

19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: and let's go over and talk to Joy, who's in

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: the northeast corner of Iowa with an eighty Ford Fairmont

21
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: and some starter and battery problems. Joy, it's a joy

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: to have you here. I'm running any in the Card Doctor.

23
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: How can I help?

24
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on Ron.

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: You're welcome. What's going on?

26
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: Well, I just had the one question when the starter

27
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: has changed and everything's so back up and you go

28
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: to start it, the battery is down, it's gone.

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Well let me let me ask a couple of

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: questions if I can enjoy. So, this is an eighty Fairmont,

31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: obviously it's an older car, good condition mechanically, body wise,

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: any rust issues anything like that.

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 3: Well, I got rushed issues. But it's going to be

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: my last car, gotcha?

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, just asking and then and then the starter

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: was replaced.

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: Why you can't Well I pulled it into the garage

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: and then there wasn't anything, and I knew the other

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: uh willets regulator, alder leader that was replaced. Battery was

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: up and it wouldn't start.

41
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: How do you how do you? Well, let me ask

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you this. Then if it doesn't start now and it

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: didn't start, then what sound? Lights? Noises? What's it doing? Different?

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Then when the starter was diagnosed as being bad and

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: before it was replaced, what's the difference.

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 3: Well, when I pulled into the garage, there was a

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: noise in the hall of sase.

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: Right when you turn the key. What what the car

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: made a click.

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: Now it makes a click and the batteries stick gone.

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my point. If you turn the key and

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: the starter makes a click, you know, the car makes

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: a click.

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: It did before it quit doing.

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: That even Okay, when when let's let's back up, you

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: pulled the car into the garage. You you you went

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: to start the car one day before they replaced it,

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: and what did what did it do? Did the dash

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: lights come on?

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, they had good lights.

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: And all be all right? And it had good lights

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and if you turn the headlights on, it probably had

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: good headlights, right, yeah, okay. And then when you turn

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: the key, did you get a click or any noise

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: from under the hood?

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: No?

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: All right? So did they diagnose or just randomly replace? Hey,

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: it needs a starter, and let's put a starter in it.

69
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Well, everything else was good and replaced just recently.

70
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, it hadn't.

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Been the starter, so by processing, so by virtue, well

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, by virtue of elimination that nothing else,

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: everything else was allegedly done, it must be a starter.

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: So they put a starter in it, and it's still

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: it still doesn't start. What makes you think it's the

76
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: battery and not a misdiagnosis.

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: Uh. After trying to start it, the battery is completely dead, right, But.

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Why is it is it? Is it making a noise? Now?

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: Not without the battery.

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Okay, if you turn the headlights on, you have no

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: headlights right right? Okay. If you put a battery charger

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: on it, does it charge the battery? And does the battery?

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Does the battery start? Okay, then it needs a battery.

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: Why I can't tell you because no testing was done.

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I still can't tell you if you put a battery

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: in this car it's actually going to start it.

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: It might they got the battery again.

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: No, not likely. Something's something's missing in this equation. Joy,

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you. And this is a very simple,

90
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: down and dirty, very easy. There's a two wire system

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: and and this is this is probably a straight six correct.

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's got three wires run.

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: But it's still a very basic automobile.

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: You know.

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: If the battery load tests good, here's the way i'd

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: approach it, all right, and then I'm going to run.

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: I would charge the battery. If the battery doesn't accept

98
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: the charge, put a battery in it. Once you have

99
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: a good battery in it and the terminals are clean,

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: and if it still doesn't start, it may not be

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: the starter. There's also a starter solinoid mounted on the

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: fender well that I haven't heard any conversation that was

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: changed or considered usually the biggest culprit. The biggest problem

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: with these older systems was the starter solenoid went bad

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: sitting on the fender well, and that's why there was

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: a click or a clunk on the right side, right

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: next to the battery. So consider that as a possible solution.

108
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: So my bottom line becomes charge the battery if that

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: doesn't come up to charge and doesn't pass a load test.

110
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: Do I think this is related to the starter work?

111
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to say because guess what, the

112
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: car still doesn't start and nothing's changed. The only thing

113
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: we know now is the dashlights don't come on. But

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, how long has the car sat?

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: Well?

116
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: Kind of shape is the battery in, how old is

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: the battery of the battery terminals dirty? There's about seven

118
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: questions that we'd have to go through to answer it.

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: I know that's maybe not what you want to hear,

120
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: but that's the truth, and that's reality because it's still

121
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: an automobile and it still works under mister Einstein's rule

122
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: of physics. Yes, anyway, eight five five five six oh

123
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: ninety nine hundred, I'm running in the car, doctor, and

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: we're back right after this. Welcome back, run in the

125
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: car doctor here to take your calls at eight five

126
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: five five six nine hundred. Let's got to ivar and osage.

127
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Am I saying that?

128
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: Right?

129
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: Iowa? Ivar?

130
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: Have I got that? Actually? Iowa? Yeah?

131
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Say Tom Ray's really reaching into the barrel today, trying

132
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: to see if I have my if my reading classes

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: are paying off. So what's going on?

134
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much for taking my call. And

135
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've probably answered these questions several times over

136
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 4: the course of your radio program. However, I don't always

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to listen to you, so let me

138
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: quickly ask you three things here. Sure, are you a

139
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: proponent of nitrogen in tires? Do you the same way

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: with the chan and air filters and synthetic oil versus

141
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 4: regular oil?

142
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: All right?

143
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: In order? And by the way, let me let me

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: point that you know, I've been doing radio twenty three

145
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: years now, and I probably answered all these questions more

146
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: than once, or not all of them, but some of them.

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: And you know what, for some reason, I like to talk,

148
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's why I have this radio show.

149
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: So I don't mind answer questions. It's part of the process,

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: So feel free's there's no such thing as as a

151
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: bad question, only the one you don't answer or you

152
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: don't ask nitrogen. I like the nitrogen idea. I like

153
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: it in theory, in UH you know, on a blueprint,

154
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper in a laboratory. I think

155
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: it's a great idea. It's it's a more consistent UH

156
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: gas to fill the tire with, and it maintains a

157
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: more even pressure, and it maintains more even treadware. And

158
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good things about nitrogen. The problem

159
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: not everybody has it. So you go through the pain

160
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: of trying to get nitrogen in your tires, and you're

161
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: driving out on the interstate and you're going across I

162
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: forty and all of a sudden, you know, you hit

163
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: tire pressure light comes on or the tires a little low,

164
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: and you got to pull into Bob service station and

165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: all Bob has his regular air, so you're gonna use

166
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: that regular air and now you've contaminated that nitrogen tire.

167
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I think, and the point point becomes that I always

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: try to make in the Ivory Tower in the world

169
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: of laboratories. I think it's a great idea in practical

170
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: application out on the street on an everyday basis, I

171
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: think the benefit is so minimal in terms of versus

172
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: the cost and the effort to maintain nitrogen. I don't

173
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: know that I you know, I'm not for it. I'm

174
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: not against it. If you can get it, great, but

175
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: once you have to put air in the tire, you

176
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: sort of lose that edge. And I don't even know

177
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: if you'll notice the edge enough to make it worth

178
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the while to worry about it.

179
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: Fair answer, yes, very good?

180
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: All right? Can N filters? My first K and N

181
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: air filter was in my seventy two Chevy Monte Carlo

182
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: thirty five years ago. I'm losing track here. And the

183
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: thing that I noticed about that filter was, you know,

184
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: that was back in the day of carburetors. You remember

185
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: carburetors and choke flaps and things got dirty, and you

186
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: know Bernoli's equation and how venturi work, and it was,

187
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, I cleaned the choke, put the air filter in,

188
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: did my usual carb service, and about five thousand miles later,

189
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: I took the air cleaner little off because that's what

190
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: you did back in the days of cars when they

191
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: had plugs, points, distributor caps, no computers, and you were

192
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: that college kid trying to get the school and you know,

193
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna put an air filter in it or

194
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: check it. It was my first experience, and A the air

195
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: filter was still pretty clean, and B there wasn't a

196
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: lick of dirt on that choke plate. And I was like,

197
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: how can that be? Like I've never you know, like

198
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: that's just crazy. I said, like there three times in

199
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: three seconds.

200
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: How any like that?

201
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: So you know, it kind of got me hooked. I

202
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: was one of those guys and I said, this has

203
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: to work. There has to be something to this. And

204
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I've noticed over the past thirty five years, I've put

205
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: a cane and air filter in just about every family vehicle,

206
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: and I've always noticed a better idol, some combination of

207
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: a better idol, more power, better fuel economy. Although you

208
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: know Cann's claim is it's not about fuel economy, It's

209
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: about performance and longevity and not having to replace that

210
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: paper filter. So I say that tongue in cheek, but

211
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I do get I do see a difference in fuel

212
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: economy because the engine does run more efficient. So yeah,

213
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm pro K and N. Listen, I don't talk about

214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: cann on radio because they sponsor part of this show.

215
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: They sponsor part of this show because they know that,

216
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, I like the product, and I can help

217
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: them put product in the hands of people like you,

218
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: so you can have the benefit of a CA and

219
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: N filter too. And that's what it's about. It's not

220
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: about selling you something to make money. I mean, ultimately

221
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: it is, but it's also about getting you a product

222
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: that makes your car work better. And that's really where

223
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: their heart is, just like mine. So that's my K

224
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: and N story. Synthetic oil. I think synthetic oil is

225
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: the good, better, best scenario. You know, you can buy

226
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: three different level of break repair. You can buy a

227
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: good break job, a better break job, or you can

228
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: buy the best break job. It's that important when you

229
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: look at what the average automobile costs today. My daughter

230
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: just left today for grad school. She purchased a thirty

231
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars four to escape little two liter two

232
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: buto charged motor. That little motor is going to work

233
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: hard haul on her back and forth ten hours away

234
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: that she is in school. And you know, we had

235
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: this conversation. We talked about fluids, and actually before we

236
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: came in to do the show today, we showed her

237
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: the tire pressure thing again and we went over oil

238
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: and fluids and YadA YadA yah, you know, like a

239
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: nervous father would be. And the conversation was, when I

240
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: have to add oil, what do I add? And I

241
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: showed it, you're gonna you know, it's it's going to

242
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: be a synthetic, and I gave her a bottle of

243
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: pens Oil ULTRNA. I said, here, this is what you're

244
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: going to add to it, and this is why. And

245
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, if it needs it, I don't know that

246
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: it will. She's it's brand new and she's already got

247
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred miles on it. But I'm just trying to

248
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: be cautious and safe. What I put conventional in that car,

249
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: I could it's rated for a five thirty. I put

250
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: synthetic in it because I've already changed the oil once.

251
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: And you want to know why, because did you hear

252
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: the beginning part of the conversation where I told you

253
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: the car was thirty one thousand dollars, you know, and

254
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: and for my money, for thirty one thousand dollars, and

255
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I keep saying, that's everybody kind. We drive that point home.

256
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about the difference in a court of oil,

257
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: whether we're spending five dollars or eight dollars for the

258
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: extra three dollars time six courts eighteen bucks for an

259
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: extra eighteen bucks. And if I do two oil changes

260
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: a year, that's forty bucks. We'll round it off for

261
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: an extra forty bucks a year. That thirty one thousand

262
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: dollar car is going to get the best possible protection

263
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: and get the best possible performance it can out of it,

264
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: and you know, keep her safe. And now she's ten

265
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: hours away. So do I want a motor oil in

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: there from brand XYZ that I'm not sure about the

267
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: quality of it? Do I want a pens oil ultrasynthetic

268
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: that I know has been you know, engineered and designed.

269
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: And that's the best I can do. And that's my

270
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: theory and that's my feeling. I think what it comes

271
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to an automobile, it really is a two ton missile

272
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: and you've got to do everything you can to keep

273
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: the people in it safe and keep the car going,

274
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: because the dividend is when the car doesn't break down

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: and she comes home safe at Thanksgiving. I know the

276
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: motor oil did its job and did what it was

277
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: supposed to do. So and that's my synthetic oil answer.

278
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: And you can find out more about synthetic oil. And

279
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I preach this all the time. Get out to motor

280
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: oil reimagine dot com and you can learn more there.

281
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: All right, sir, all right, I appreciate it. It's always

282
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: good to talk an experts, and I agree with everything

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: you said.

284
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: Thank you much. Listen my best everybody out there in

285
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Iowa today, and you guys take good care, all right,

286
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: all right, take good care. Bye bye. I'm running any

287
00:14:40,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: in the car doctor. We're back right after this. Hi,

288
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: ronin any and the card doctor hear at eight five

289
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: five five six hundred. As we kind of wind things

290
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: down this hour, let's go out the Bob in Sky Valley,

291
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: California and see what's going on here. Bob, welcome to

292
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: the Card Doctor, sir. What's what's new?

293
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: Thank you? Well, not my truck. I've got eighty five

294
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: one fifty originally at the carbureted four point nine engines,

295
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: but it's on its third motor. It's a fuel injected motor.

296
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: The you know, the exact year the trial bodies off

297
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: the second motor that was a ninety three. This one's

298
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: got a ninety four alternator. When I brought it to California,

299
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: they go through their program here for a missions. Yeah,

300
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: it's listed as a ninety two. But what I do

301
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: know that may make a difference more than a year

302
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: to the light duty and heavy duty motors. The heavy

303
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: duty has two hoses off the air veilves and a

304
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: port in the head for one of them. The light duty,

305
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: which is what I have, has only one hold. There's

306
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: no port in the head, so that head since the

307
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: heads may be different. What I'm wondering if the post

308
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: star plasmic core plug is made for my motor, and

309
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: where I could get it, Because I went to the

310
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: local O'Reilly's and then a couple of blocks away AutoZone

311
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720
