      @@mravocadoman2904 I spent $1200 on my first car, it was a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege, had a turbo and was a 5 speed, worst and best decision I ever made and wouldn't do it differently other than keeping the car because I could've fixed it up and it'd be a race car right now. Im 21 now, I got that car when I was 16, I've had 4 cars since so ig for long term ownership Im not the best for advice but most of my cars have had 190k+ miles except the protege which was at like 136-7k, just had boost issues and would have electrical surges; after replacing the clutch and transmission that I blew doing a burnout at school, lighting everything up bright as shit and popping headlights/taillights when hitting boost it was a shit show. I got an Impala now making 305hp and its amazing ngl, thing smokes most cars Ive pulled on.

      JESUS CHRIST died for you in a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and is The LIVING GOD. Repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in a prayer and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and also turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You.

      I agree with this, but cant help to feel like people like this aren't really and fairly appreciated... it's always a thank you and forget you a week later. That's why I feel its only fair to give donators write offs.
      In poor countries a donation like this would have you be a family friend for life, but internet and modern money makes ppl feel this stuff is more normal and becomes undervalued.

      It was a solid vehicle with just regular maintenance needs aside from the turbo replacement. $15,000 is a major overstatement, but I don't think that matters. What matters is that the family got a fantastic, reliable car when they needed it most.

    If this channel never existed, I would’ve lost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Every time I tried getting my car fixed at a shop, I was screwed over by shady tactics from different shops. Not only that, I’ve actually made thousands upon thousands of dollars buying and fixing up cars and selling them watching these videos for reference. Keep doing what you’re doing. It really helps us who aren’t car savvy.

      I doubt he will see this, but something I never see any mechanic do that at least I believe would be beneficial, is push the old bad fluids out like the old oil, transmission fluid, etc. A perfect example of why you'd wanna do this is right in this video when he checks the transmission fill level, a bunch of old black gunky liquid comes out, which otherwise would've been left in there if he hadn't checked the fill level, and even after doing so there is still likely a lot of the old fluid in there.
      Now I'm not saying to, for example, to do a double oil change just to clear out the old liquid, but what I do is let the oil drain all the way, then add in a bit of new oil with the drain still open so the new oil can somewhat wash out the rest of the old stuff. Just curious on others thoughts on this

    • @Cuandoman
      @Cuandoman 개월 전 +1

      You can do a complete transmission flush but it involves removing the pan or doing several transmission oil changes. I think for an introductory prep of a car for someone this is perfectly adequate.

    • @hiteshadhikari
      @hiteshadhikari 개월 전

      In automatic transmissions, you should not do a complete change until u do it with machine esp in a high mileage car as the small ports for fluid movement might get blocked dye to debris
      The better way is to do a change which dilutes older dirty fluid while not doing a very drastic change altogether
      The new fluid will still do job much Better
      For a complete flush, u can change fluids 3 to 4 times and still some old dirty fluid will remain​@@pcmasterracetechgod5660

    The timing of this video is perfect! After watching your channel since I was 11, I finally got my first car! This video will definitely help me keep track of how to properly maintain it.

    CONGRATS ON 10MILLION CHRIS YOU EARNED IT! Have learned so much from you please never stop! You inspired me to do oil change on my first car myself even after people told me I couldn’t do it, I pressed on. Went to harbor freight and bought some ramps and I did it! Can’t wait to see what the future of this channel holds! Thank you Chris!

    This channel has helped me save tons of money on car repairs and as someone currently serving warms the heck out of my heart seeing you not only spend your time but also your own money to help those who have also served. Thank you for everything you do.
