I've been cleaning up a lot of 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: the older tools lately in that you start to look 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: back and you think, well, let's see, I've still got 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: scan tools out that will service one through four automobiles 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: and that's just about well more than twenty five years 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: ago on average. And you say, let me just put 44 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: some of this stuff away. I'm not going to keep 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: it out on displayer. Real handy, because how often have 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: I used it? I couldn't remember the last time. I 47 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: started using some of the scoot tools, and the breakout boxes, 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: and some of the wiring harness kits, some of the 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: things we needed for cars of that generation. When out 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: got some storage, Ben's Magic market everything nice nice, put 51 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: it in the bins, put it up on the top shelf, 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: said hey, thanks, I appreciate it. Working with you guys. 53 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: It was great technology and much much simpler than today. 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, that was the last of it. 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: The next day, not a week later, not a month later, 56 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: the next day, fifty comes rolling in, just finished putting 57 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: away the exact tools I needed to work on this truck. 58 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: back in as the saying goes, lifted the hood, shiny 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: new parts, check engine light on, and I knew nobody 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: had ever used a scan tool because the scan tool connector, 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: which on this particular truck was under the hood was 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: corroded and wedged underneath a pile of wiring harness somebody 64 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: had placed there in it's twenty six years of use. 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: So they were diagnosing from the hip just using the shotgun, 66 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: just trying to guess and think, well, maybe it's this, 67 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: and maybe it's that, fortunately for them, or maybe not, 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: fortunately for the owner. Nobody was right. There was actually 69 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: two problems the scan tool told me about, one of 70 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: which was a bad new part new means never ever worked, 71 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: and replaced the throttle position censor, got rid of that 72 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: fault code, and was about to deal with the oxygen 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: censor fault when the owner instructed me that one of 74 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: his guys is a roofer. One of his guys will 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: take care of it and I don't have to deal 76 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: with it. And I said, okay, simply because the oxygen censor, 77 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: which was a seven eighths of an inch hecks the 78 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: exigen centsor wrench spun around on that warn O two 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: was so weathered and beat up that um, it was 80 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: just going to take a lot more than a wrench, 81 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: and it was in a real bad spot between the 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: two lower exhaust pipes. Just glad not to have to 83 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: deal with it to a point, and it made me think, 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: you know what, old repairs, same procedure, nothing changes. You 85 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: fast forward to a car of today, you go through 86 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: the same thing. It seems that nobody wants to diagnose anything. 87 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to take shortcuts because everybody has got a 88 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: better answer. You know what the best answer is, diagnose, diagnose, diagnosed. 89 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: The first three rules of an order repair on how 90 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: to properly started.

I enjoy listening to your show, 102 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: and I was just thinking about what should I do 103 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: with my truck. I don't use it a whole lot. 104 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: Uh and uh, I get regular oil changed with synthetic. 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: I've replaced the brakes and that's about it. I haven't 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: replaced anything else as far as filters and you know 107 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Do you do you plow with 108 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: it all, Jim? Or is it just is it a 109 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: just everyday transportation type of view, just everyday transportation called 110 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: mulch every once in a while that kind of thing. 111 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: Manual trans are automatic automatic, and it's the V six. 112 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you if it hasn't been done in 113 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: any sort of timetable, it's just been oil changes. Winter time, 114 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: and I always explained it like this, winter time is 115 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: a great time to start doing maintenance. If you break 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: down in the summer, it's it's you know, sitting in 117 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: a beach chair by the side of the road waiting 118 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: for the tow truck to show up. You know, if 119 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: you're good, you got a little robot, you got a 120 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: hot dog thing going, you're good. Truck breaks down in 121 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: the middle of winter, it's too cold. There's no way 122 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: you're getting a suntan, and you're never gonna get the 123 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: grilled to fire up, So you want to avoid that 124 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: if they haven't been done. The fluids that I can 125 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: rattle off the top of my head, which you can 126 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: probably guess is going to be coolant, trans break fluid 127 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: you've been doing oil changes. The truck is twelve years old. 128 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 1: I would look at belts and hoses. At the very least, 129 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: consider doing upper and lower radiator hoses. Consider replacing the 130 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: belt if it's original. I would even tell you to 131 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: take a look at the radiator cap. You know, a 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: radiator cap is in my top ten list of it. 133 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: It's like my Rodney danger field list of things in 134 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: order repair it. They get the least amount of respect. 135 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: And a radiator cap is so critical in terms of 136 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: what it does and how it helps keep that vehicle operating. 137 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: By the time it fails, there's already a problem somewhere 138 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: in the cooling system that caused more damage. So a 139 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: radiator cap. You can read more about radiator caps and 140 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: what they do out at stand. Get out the stand 141 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: dot com and feel free to pick one up because 142 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: stant makes a great OEE replacement radiator cap. Um the battery. Sure, 143 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: somebody was telling me, you know, if you don't use 144 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: it that much, disconnect the negative terminal, but I don't know. 145 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's okay, but then how often is not enough? 146 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: And then you know, I have a problem with that too, 147 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: because you can see issues where the onboard computer will 148 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: lose memory and then it takes a while to relearn. 149 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: And for conversation's sake, the battery was disconnected for two 150 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: months or a month, and then you connected it and 151 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: you drove it for three days by the time it 152 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: learned whatever you're driving. Habits are for that moment, Jim, 153 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, you disconnect the battery, it has to learn 154 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: all over again. The vehicle never really is in optimal 155 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: running condition. So I'd rather say no to that. I'd 156 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: rather see you do something along the lines of if 157 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: it's going to sit, does it sit outside? Is it? 158 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Is it an outdoor storage kind of vehicle? Um, they 159 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: make solar powered battery chargers, kind of a neat idea. 160 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: It's just there's a bunch of them out on the web. 161 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: You can just hook up a it's a small solar panel, 162 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: no bigger than an iPad, and it would just have 163 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: two battery clips, positive and a negative. It would just 164 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: clip to the battery terminals itself on the battery and 165 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: it'll just trickle charge the battery and keep it alive. 166 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: If if if you wanted to move the vehicle indoors. 167 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: You know, I've seen people get creative where they'll mount 168 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: the solar panel on the side of the garage of 169 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the house, the building, et cetera. And then just cut 170 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: the harness and make it a little longer and just 171 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: allow it to reach inside to wherever they're keeping the car. 172 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: Put the two clips on it, and you're done. Um. 173 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's just I'd rather see the battery get 174 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: stirred every once in a while for a lot of reasons, 175 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: um than just letting it sit there and sulfate naturally 176 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: break fluid. You said you did breaks naturally break fluid 177 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: is a great thing to be doing. Um. If you 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: do let it sit we are going into winter. You 179 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: might want to over inflate the tires by a couple 180 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: of pounds just so they don't you know, leak out 181 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: or seep out. And and then you've got to think 182 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: about fuel system. It's always best in this day and age, 183 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: store vehicle with a full full tank of fuel, all right, yeah, um, 184 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: And then you know, last but not least, you know, 185 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: it's twelve years old, it's only got thirty two thousand 186 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: miles on it. You're not even doing four thousand miles 187 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: a year. A good time to think about carbon deposits 188 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: and to do a carbon cleaning. And one of the 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: simplest things you can do right now is pick yourself 190 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: up one of the fuel pro System Complete carbon cleaning kits. 191 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,599 Speaker 1: Rileyota Parts has them.

And you they just talk about 194 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: how simple and easy it is to do cleaning carbon 195 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: deposits off of engeines, going in through an intake hose, 196 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: going in through a vacuum hose, and uh and and 197 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: resolving that all those things fluids, filters, normal maintenance, rubber products. 198 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: You gotta think in terms of age, are all the 199 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: things that are going to get that truck and uh, 200 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: you know a little bit of TLC and you'll probably 201 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: driving it another twelve years. All right, sir, well, thank 202 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: you very much. And uh, I I do that one 203 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: other question related to the truck, if that's okay, now, 204 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: sugar ahead, real quick, okay. Uh, I'm sort of looking 205 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: at used Jaguar, but I don't know. I sort of 206 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: like the looks of an x K eight, but I 207 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: don't know how you know, dependable, reliable a car like 208 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: that is what your what years that car Jim, Uh, well, 209 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: I don't have anything in mind yet as far as 210 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: a year, I was thinking about spending maybe twenty thousand 211 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: or something, and uh, I don't know. You know what 212 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: you can get uh, I look like on the internet 213 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: and there's a bunch on the East coast, West coast, 214 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: and then St. Louis and Chicago. But here's the first 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: I was going to try to find maybe somebody in 216 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: town that might be able to get ahold of something. 217 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: But I was just wondering what your opinion is of Jaguar. 218 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: I know a long time ago they had problem with electrics, 219 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: but I think they're okay now that Well, here's the 220 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: first question. The first question is who's gonna work on it? 221 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: And if if you can't find a local guy that's 222 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: gonna work on it, that becomes an issue. The older 223 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: the car, the more TLC and the more of a 224 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: loving touch it's going to need. So that's the first question. 225 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: You've got to resolve anything along the lines of Jaguar 226 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: out e v W. Well, nobody's buying v WS anymore, BMW, 227 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: murs say d's et cetera. Uh, you know a little 228 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: bit more of a m a TLC loving touch kind 229 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: of a vehicle. Is the older they get after that perspective, Yeah, listen, 230 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: they're okay, You're right. They have gotten better. Cars in 231 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: general have gotten better, but it still takes somebody to 232 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: work on them. And working on that Jaguar is entirely 233 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: different than working on that f on and fifty that 234 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: you have. So consider who's gonna work on it first, 235 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: who can work on it first? Go talk to them 236 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: and find out what some of the average repairs are 237 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: for whatever model you finally decide on, and that will 238 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: help you determine just what exactly it is you're gonna buy.

My cars have between a 274 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: hundred thousand and two hundred and thirty thousand holes. I 275 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: like to see three thousand on all of them. So 276 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: on the fuel pro do it yourself kit. Once I 277 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: do that on all the cars. How often should I 278 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: repeat how often do you drive him? How much do 279 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: you drive him? Rick? About ten thousand miles a year? 280 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: You know? Then you want to do it once a year, 281 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: once a year, once a year, and it's not so 282 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: much it's not so much the ten thousand mile mark, 283 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: but it's an annual thing. You know. The hardest part 284 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: is once you get it done the first time. Once 285 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: you do it the first time, you know, and you're 286 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: you're getting rid of all the old contaminant. It's the 287 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: idea of an annual checkup. Doing it on a regular basis, 288 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: you don't want to let it get to the point 289 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: where the carbon forms. You want to keep it away 290 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: from forming it all. And that's that's the true benefit 291 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: in your case, you'll notice a big difference, or you'll 292 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: notice a bigger difference now when you do it then, 293 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: let's say in a year, because it's already been cleaned. 294 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: If you follow what I'm saying, it'll it's And the 295 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: idea is that, you know, cleaning the using using a 296 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: product like fuel procomplete and cleaning the fuel system doesn't 297 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: just help you today, it helps you down the road 298 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: because it's the idea that lack of carbon the valve 299 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: seal better. Uh More fuel is being put into the 300 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: into the engine to be burned, so it's a more complete, 301 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: uh more efficient combustion process if I can say it 302 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: like that, and you'll see the benefits obviously in better 303 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: fuel economy and better performance. And as you say, um, 304 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: you know you want to see three thousand miles out 305 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: of the car. It helps you along that path. Remember 306 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: the biggest problem with cars is we shut them off. 307 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: If if you started driving a car from the east 308 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: coast to the west coast and back, and you did 309 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: that on a continuous basis at one steady mileage, at 310 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: one steady load, at one steady temperature, the the engines 311 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: would last longer, the oil changes would last longer, and 312 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: the vehicles themselves would would be able to deal with 313 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: a lot more things on a bigger basis, but they're not. 314 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: It's stop and go, it's weather extremes, it's it's start 315 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: and stop. It's sitting for short periods, stating for long periods. 316 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: All of that is what really affects a vehicle and 317 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the shortens its life. For black of a better way 318 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: to put it, was there another part of the question. Yeah, 319 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: there was a second question. Do you have anything you 320 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: recommend when I take my old change, take any kind 321 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: uh product that you use to clean up the engine? Uh? 322 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: The best thing I like to do if I'm gonna 323 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: do an oil change and I'm worried about varnish and contaminant, 324 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: believe it or not, the best thing I like to 325 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: do is if it's a five court system, a half, 326 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: a half a quart or a pint of automatic trans 327 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: fluid and I'll run a quarter. Yeah, a quarter automatic 328 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: trans fluid is the most is the highest detergent fluid 329 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: that we've ever seen, and it will you know, in 330 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: the old days, back when jeez, I was a kid 331 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: working on cars, when we did rings in the bay. 332 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: That's how far back this goes. When you would pull 333 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: pistons out in the block and just do a take 334 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: a dingle berry hone and break the glaze and put 335 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: fresh rings in. You would wash the cylinder walls first 336 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: with trans fluid and then with soap and water, and 337 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: the grit and the contaminant that came off the cylinder 338 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: block walls from the trans fluid. It would turn the 339 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: white shop towels black. So it's just a very high, 340 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: extremely detergent type of oil, if you want to think 341 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: of it in those terms. So transfer that to the engine. 342 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: It'll break down the varnish, it'll break down the sludge. 343 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying drive the car. You can if 344 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: you want, but probably the most effective way is let 345 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: the car run, get hot, pour and a half a 346 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: quarter transfluid, and let it sit there in idle for 347 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: another twenty minutes to an hour, and when it's finally 348 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: you're you're close to the end of that time period, 349 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: shut it off and let it drain for until it 350 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: stops dripping. Okay, as long as you can fill it 351 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: up with fresh oil, you'll see a dramatic difference. And 352 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: jet is important. Be weary of the type of oil 353 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: you're putting in it because the type of oil. As 354 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: long as we're talking about maintenance, you might want to 355 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: get out the pens oil. Check out motor Oil Reimagined 356 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: dot com. See what they've got to say. They've got 357 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: some of the best synthetics on the market. As obviously, 358 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: oil is very, very important in today's cars. I appreciate 359 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: the call. Good luck to you and the kids. Rick, 360 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: I'm running any of the car Doctor. We're back right 361 00:18:49,200 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: after this. Hey, Ronny and the car Doctor back. By 362 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: the way, did anybody see the article in USA Today 363 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: this past week. Once again they got it wrong. They 364 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: talk about how oil changes are being erroneously done at 365 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: three thousand miles, and how cars can go so much 366 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 1: longer than the three thousand mile oil change, and how 367 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: that's not a uh not something you should be doing. 368 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, the more I read this article, 369 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: the more annoyed I got, because once again we've got 370 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: people writing newspapers that don't fix cars for a living, 371 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: that see what really happens to a vehicle, telling you 372 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: how to maintain it. I'd like to see what they're driving. 373 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: Probably all lease vehicles are using Uber. Let's get over 374 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: and get back to the phone's Harry. Who do we 375 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: have up first on the Car Doctor hotline this hour 376 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: run online one. We have Agnes from Staten Island, New York. Perfect. 377 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Agnes. Agnes, you're with 378 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: Ron and any in the car doctor. How can I help? Oh? Hi, 379 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for your help today. I have question 380 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: regarding a battery tender, I believe they call it. We'll 381 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: just plug it into electricity and your cigarette ladder and 382 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: leave it for the winter. Is that is a safe 383 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: option or is there anything better that you would suggest? 384 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: What kind of a car is it? Agnes? As a camera, 385 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: a Toyota camera. Um, it's an old one. It's two one, 386 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: and if you don't use it frequently, the battery will 387 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: need charging or replacing. I think that in the winter 388 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't get to that often. Okay, I think that's fine. 389 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: I would just tell you instead of going through the 390 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 1: cigarette lighter, I prefer to see where you know they 391 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: also have the alligator clips that connect right onto the battery, 392 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: and I would prefer that. I would prefer direct connection, 393 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: partly because sometimes cigarette lighters aren't as reliable as as 394 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: the direct connection, so you're thinking that the battery is 395 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: going to be kept charged. Plus, if there's any issues 396 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: between the cigarette lighter and the other sidework connects to 397 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: the battery, the tender can't read that, so it may 398 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: affect how well it charges. I think going to the 399 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: battery is a better option if we can take it okay, 400 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: and if you don't have to check out frequently, there's 401 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: no danger of fire. No, and again it's it's as 402 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: good as the product. I would tell you to use something, uh, 403 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, obviously name brand or a better product. I 404 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't go for the cheapest. And I'm not saying you are. 405 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, there are some out there that 406 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: are advertised that I don't think do the job as 407 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: well as others. I would tell you to make sure 408 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: you do your due diligence and look at reviews and 409 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, see what works and what doesn't work. As 410 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Harry, how about we, uh can 411 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: we hook up and do some reviews. I think we've 412 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: gotten a couple of calls on this today alone in 413 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: the past few weeks. How about we do how about 414 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: we do some reviews on on battery tenders and things 415 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: like that. For maintaining batteries over the course of winter. 416 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: Can you handle that this week and report back next week, Harry. 417 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: Can you do that? Yeah, um, yeah, I'll check it out. 418 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: Battery tenders, yep, alright, cool beings. Thank you. There you go, Agnes, 419 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: I got my best man on it. Well, thank you, 420 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: thank you very very much. You're very welcome. We'll have 421 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: a we'll have a report for you next week. Harry. 422 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: Who do we have up next on the part to 423 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: have Bob from Phillisburg, New Jersey wants to talk about 424 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: historic plates on an older car. Oh well, let's see 425 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: what we can. Let's see what we can convince him 426 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: not to do this. Bob from Phillisburg, New Jersey, your 427 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: return caller. How are you today, Robert? What's going on? 428 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: We're doing great. I am now the proud owner of 429 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty five volts Flagon Beetle all original sixth 430 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: Foult Bahama Blue. It even has original Becker and all 431 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: transits rides, radio in it, and his car as solid 432 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: as it can be. And I even have all of 433 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: the documentation from the history of this car, and in 434 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: the nice part about it was given to me. Well, 435 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: there you go. Sometimes that's the best part, you know, 436 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: that radio. That radio probably doesn't even go up to 437 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: a m SEV car Doctors New York affiliate, so we'll 438 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: have to. I think it still has a little diamonds. 439 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: Remember the days of you know, you know, you see 440 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: places where you would go for you know, under ground 441 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: of case we were attacked by nuclear bombs and stuff. Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah. 442 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: The big question I have is this, And I thought 443 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: you're fifty five Chevy had regular historic plates on it. 444 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: But I'm wanting to see the restrictions of historic plate 445 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm not a historic plate guy. If 446 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: I don't have to there there are some restrictions, you know, 447 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: and the answers I always got where wink wink not no, 448 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: the cops tend to look the other way, you know what. 449 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: I don't need the cops to look at me for 450 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: any reason. And if it's an original vehicle and I 451 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: can go through inspection, you know, I understand the additional 452 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: cost involved. Uh you know, but I'm just I'm just 453 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: not a historic plate guy. I want to be able 454 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: to take the car out and go where I want, 455 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: when I want. And I my understanding is on a 456 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: on a q Q plate in New Jersey. That it's 457 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: if you're gonna use it as an everyday vehicle, if 458 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna be out during the week with it, depending 459 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: upon where you're going, on what you're doing, you're subject 460 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: to harassment. And that's just something I like to avoid. Now, 461 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, I would tell you, I would ask you 462 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: talk to your local you know, talk to the cops, 463 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 1: see what they have to say. But if the answer 464 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: is by the book, they have the right to issue 465 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: you as summons then to make q cus or an 466 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: excuse for getting away with something and I'm supposed to 467 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: be doing in the first place. Now, what did they 468 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: do for inspection on a car that's fifty years old 469 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: in New Jersey? A legitimate inspection right now, that car 470 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: would get a tailpipe test, so it would get a 471 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: five gas tailpipe test. Now, as long as we're having 472 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: that conversation, probably, and I don't want to say this 473 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: to definitively, but my suspicion is in the next two 474 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: to three years, if New Jersey has their way, the 475 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: change in the if I was gonna be a Southsayer 476 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: here and fire up the crystal ball, I would tell 477 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: you that in New Jersey, and I think other states 478 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: are going to follow because O B D two cars 479 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: are so clean and so efficient in terms of operation. 480 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: I believe we're gonna see a shift in state inspection 481 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: policies in New Jersey where when you drive through easy Pass, 482 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: that's gonna become the inspection point. It's gonna tie to 483 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: the O B D two connector with the easy Pass technology. 484 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: If you don't have easy Pass, it will go through 485 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: a Bluetooth connection on your phone. If you don't have 486 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: a cell phone, then they're gonna mail you a device 487 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: that will plug into the O B D two port 488 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: and you can test it that way. Now, this is 489 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: what I've heard more than once. And older cars such 490 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: as yours, anything pre simply simply won't get inspected. There 491 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: aren't enough cars out there, as they say right now, 492 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: that it matters in terms of clean air. How true 493 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: is it, Bob? You know how effective is it? I'm 494 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: not gonna open up that debate. That's not what I'm saying. 495 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: I can only tell you what the what the powers 496 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: that be, the guys at the top are starting to 497 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: think like and sometimes the guys at the top think scary. 498 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: But we all know for those reasons. But uh, you 499 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: know that's so it's not too bad. It's gonna be 500 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: my hot rod, right, It's gonna be your hot rod. 501 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: God bless enjoy it. And I think I think I 502 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: think you're going to see a radical change to the 503 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: inspection program. Was there a second part to the question, Bob, Well, 504 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: it's just the idea that you know, I think you 505 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: talked me into it. I'm just gonna put regular tags 506 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: on it and drive it and like you're doing oil 507 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: change on it, and you know, it's just just use 508 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: it like an everyday carcase. That's what will end up becoming. Yeah, 509 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: so all right, sir, Okay, you're very welcome, sir. You 510 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: take good care and uh, have yourself a good rest 511 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: of the weekend. Yeah, q qs aren't always the best 512 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: answer in terms of you know, how to go about 513 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: dealing with it and uh, you know, keeping that classic 514 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: car out on the road. Quick piece of email. Hey, Ron, 515 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: this comes to us from Roger. I've got Sonata. I 516 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: purchased it new in AUGUSTE It's currently got over thirty 517 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: seven thousand miles on it. Up until early October, I 518 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: was getting thirty seven thirty eight miles per gallon Now 519 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: it's more like three using seventy one Phillips Top Tier 520 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: gasoline currently and nothing has changed with the fuel. It's 521 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: Etana called the Hunda dealer where I bought the car. 522 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: They said something about winter blends of fuel are coming out. 523 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. That's what it says in the email. 524 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: Our fuels have ethan all year round. I asked Concho 525 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: and they said, same blend of fuel year around. They 526 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: said I was I probably needed a pressurized fuel system 527 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: clean out their recent service special I received an advertised 528 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: a fuel system clean out? What do you think? Roger? Roger? 529 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: First of all, um, if you're so inclined and you 530 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: want to do a fuel system clean out, get out 531 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: the fuel pro complete dot com pick yourself up after 532 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: reading and watching the video. A fuel pro Complete fuel 533 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: system cleaning kit, something you can do through a vacuum line, 534 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: works very well. The number one kid on the market 535 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: currently in terms of reducing carbon and simple and easy 536 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: to use for the do it yourself. I think a 537 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: carbon cleaning can hurt. But I'd also want to know 538 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: who did you ask at Conaco about their blend of fuel? 539 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: My understanding fuels change everywhere in this country, or it's 540 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: I think it's seven major regions, the majority of them, 541 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: I think, dude, I'm gonna take that back. I think 542 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: it's seven major regions and they all change on a 543 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: on a six seven month basis that I don't know 544 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: of any place in the country right now where fuel 545 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: stays consistent as one blend. And my experience has been 546 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: most cars will see a drop in fuel economy going 547 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: into the winter months, primarily because of fuel composition, and 548 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. I would did you 549 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: ask the kid at the pumps at Conaco or did 550 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: you get that from an engineer on the inside. Where 551 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: did you ask that question the kid on the pumps, 552 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what he knows. The guy that designed 553 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: the fuel, he's probably gonna have the right answer. So 554 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: that's a gray area. As far as the fuel system cleaning, 555 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: get out the fuel pro Complete dot com.

Let's get over and talk to Joe Almaha, 565 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: Nebraska for tourist. Joe, you're on with the Car Doctor, Sir, 566 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: how can I help? Yeah? I got a question. I've 567 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: been thinking about running ethanol the five brand, and I'm 568 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: one of what your thoughts is my what the producers 569 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: are saying, But how is that going to affect the 570 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: way my car runs and keeping it clean? Is it 571 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: an e eighty five vehicle? Joe, Yes, yes, it is. Okay, 572 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: it's a I'm sorry, I got two part question. I 573 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: was supposed to tell you that at the beginning. It's, uh, 574 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: it's a two thousand, fourteen tours and uh, it's got 575 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: to flex you on it. Then you know, I don't 576 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: see it as a problem. The vehicle's calibrator for eight five. 577 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: Will the performance be the same. Rather than just make 578 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 1: a blanket statement and say sure, yeah, it's rated for it, 579 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: I tell everybody drive it and say because I have 580 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: had some experience and feedback where people will tell me 581 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: their vehicle runs better on something other than the eighty five, 582 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: And I've had people tell me eighty five works just 583 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: as fine. They don't notice the difference than they noticed 584 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: that they're saving money and it's more efficient. So I 585 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: think everybody's experience is going to be different. I don't 586 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: think you're gonna hurt anything. I don't see where that's 587 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: going to come into play because it is an E 588 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: eight five rated vehicle. Uh you know, so I would 589 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: I would just tell you to take that approach. Does 590 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: that uh keep the engine cleaner? Well, it's the idea that, um, 591 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: the ethanol is a it's a different fuel, is what 592 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: it is now. Uh yeah. There's conversation that because it's 593 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: not a carbon based or a hydrocarbon based fuel, that 594 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have carbon deposits and have to deal 595 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: with that. And that's one of the advantages of ethanol, 596 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: along with the idea that we're reducing our dependency quote 597 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: unquote on far and oil. Does it work? Uh? Yeah, 598 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: I think it nips away at it. I think a 599 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: lot of the things we're doing nips away at the 600 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: uh dependency on far and oil. I think the electric 601 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: cars help. I think the the the hybrid cars help. 602 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: I think eight five cars help. So you know, listen, 603 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: you've got it, you might as well try it. You're 604 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: not gonna hurt anything, and you might come out better 605 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: on the other side. So that the car we plan 606 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: to keep for quite a while, we we usually run 607 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: the wheels off of them, just warning the longevity. You know, 608 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: have you heard much about the longevity of running this 609 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: type of fuel or is it's still too still too 610 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: new to still too new to tell? And you know, 611 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: one of the things I've noticed is, uh, you know, 612 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: anytime I've got a new technology i'm dealing with, I 613 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: always air on the side of caution. So if they're 614 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: telling me to do something at mileage X, I always 615 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: do it at mileage y. I always do it a 616 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: little early. You know. If we're having a conversation about 617 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: oil changes, I'm still gonna tell you, you know, if 618 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: it's if it's and this is probably a synthetic or 619 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: a synthetic blend vehicle, as a guess, have you changed 620 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: the Yeah, the dealer has been put in synthetic blend 621 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: in it. Where I was going to ask you about 622 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: the oil, right and I would just go right to 623 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: a synthetic Joe, I don't you know for the life 624 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: of me. In all the oil executives I talked to, 625 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: they tell me synthetic blend was put out there for 626 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: a reason of economy, But it's it's more a case 627 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: in my mind by the time you're paying for a 628 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: synthetic blend. Just put a synthetic out there. And if 629 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: you're interested in hanging onto this car as long as 630 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: you can, just drive on over to motor Oil Reimagined 631 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: dot com. You can read all about pen's oil. We 632 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: all know how good they're synthetic stuff is, and uh, 633 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, take it from there. You might as well 634 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: just start putting synthetic in it, because there's no reason 635 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: not to. You know, for the few extra for the 636 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: few extra dollars you might spend in the course of 637 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: a year, you'll see longevity out of the vehicle. Remember, 638 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: cars today are made so that you do not want 639 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: to have to go through and replace or repair things 640 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: in the engine. You're better off spending more money now, 641 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: you'll spend less money later. Eight five zero nine zero zero. 642 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: Run an any in the car doctor back right after 643 00:33:50,240 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: this you welcome back. Why don't they need the car 644 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: doctor winding things down? This hour. By the way, has 645 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: anybody and if you saw the article in USA today 646 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: this week they've talked about cheaper oil changes. I've got 647 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: it in front of me. Um. They're they're developing a 648 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: system called next cell. Has anybody seen anything about this? 649 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: Boys in the booth now they're shaking their head. Now 650 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: another oil manufacturer and a motor oil manufacturer, Castrol division 651 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: of BP. I guess we know how they're going to 652 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: play for the cleanup in the Gulf is they're reinventing 653 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: the wheel. They're coming out with a cartridge style oil 654 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: change system that will be incorporated in cars of the future. 655 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: They claim that will allow like a cassette, you'll pop 656 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: it into a holder, pop it out you want to 657 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: go into an oil change, It's ninety seconds, lift the hood, 658 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: pop it out, pop a new one. In thought makes 659 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: for disposal and clean up and and a bunch of 660 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: things that much better and easier. Will it work? I 661 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: guess what's the cost is gonna be to install it 662 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: into a new car, And in my opinion, if it's 663 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: not in every new car, you have to wonder how 664 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: effective it's going to be. But believe me when I 665 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: tell you they're really starting to put the pressure on 666 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: oil changes. They want you to be totally responsible for oil. 667 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: It's it's it's almost like they're blaming oil changes for 668 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: every conceivable problem that can happen in the environment. It 669 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: comes down to somebody to dispose of oil properly in 670 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two when it's coming back to bite you 671 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: in that you know what right now, So be aware, 672 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: you know, go google that term nextel, see what that's 673 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: all about. And um, it's just very very interesting. The 674 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,959 Speaker 1: article also goes on, as I said before, they're still 675 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: perpetuating the myth that modern cars and the oil change 676 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: every three thousand miles. The reality is more modern cars 677 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: can go much longer between changes. I disagree with that, okay. 678 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: I think three to four thousand miles on conventional oil. 679 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: I think five maybe six on synthetic. I think you've 680 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: got to look at the quality of a filter, make 681 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: sure it's a good quality oil filter, a Wicks filter, 682 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: something to that level. But to not change oil where 683 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: they recommend it, I think as suicide. I'm on an 684 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: any in the card oct until the next time. Good 685 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Sea
