TOYOTA OWNERS! Please NEVER Do THIS to Your Toyota!

"Engines are expensive, oil is cheap. Change oil every 5000 miles" -Scotty Kilmer

The world desperately needs more mechanics and shops like yours.

This man is a Gem! "Do the right thing". People like him are few and few between.

I’ve worked in shops all my life and can instantly tell if the shop puts out legit work just by the cleanliness and organization of the shop. I can tell you’re a true professional! Kudos on a beautiful clean shop👌🏽Would love a tour of all your shop equipment, why you chose each brand, etc

The number one problem on Auto industry is that we dont have enough honest and good Auto mechanics. This guy should be everyones mechanics.

As a mechanic from a reputable shop, I salute you. You speak the truth. In a world of sloppy work and hack mechanics, it is a pleasure to watch a professional mechanic that cares for the quality of their work and the care for their customer with reasoning as you do. I can see the passion you have for engines. Thank you for what you do. We need more people like you in this industry. Congratulations on your shop my friend.

My 21’ Tacoma and 20’ 4Runner have been on the recommended 10k oil change schedule (both are at 75,000mi) and I’m very glad to have seen this video. I will DEFINITELY start changing oil every 5k. Thank goodness I found this channel and have started watching it nonstop. 🙌🏼

When a mechanic tries to save you money you should listen. This man has integrity for sure. Love these videos. Learning on YouTube and learning From a master mechanic are two very different things. Nice job 🤙

Keep up the great work! Glad to see you in my feed more now!

I am metallurgical engineer and enjoy my work; however, when I see Ahmed working in his shop, I feel envy. He is a great mechanic, clean, dedicated, knowledgeable, honest, etc., just imagine if at least 1/4 of all the mechanics were as him.

As someone with about 20 years in the high tech lubricant and oil refining industry who recently bought a 2023 Corolla, I was surprised that the dealer recommended oil changes every 16000 kilometers/10K miles. For decades I have been breaking new cars in with 3 oil changes in the first 10K kms and have never had an oil burning/leaking problem or even an internal engine problem with any car. I told the dealer they were nuts and that I would be doing oil changes every 8000 kms/5000 miles. Also, if you look at your owners manual, it will tell you to monitor your oil level and to add oil "as necessary" during normal operations. Now I know why my brother in law's Corolla starting burning oil at 150K kms, about 20 yrs ago. BTW, dealers use cheapest oils that meet the manufacturer specs, its nothing special. I use Valvoline and Quaker State myself and I have tested all brands of oil over the years and these are the ones I would recommend.

He's not lying, I worked as a service tech for a Lexus Dealership, 10k was thr recommended oil change on these engines

My original '91 Corolla got about 14 oil changes a year for a while- every 2K to 2.5K miles. Long story but when I finally had to get rid of it, it had 634,358 miles on it and still was getting over 40mpg. Greatest car in the world.

I'm a twenty plus year technician and I have to tell the guy in video good job your a very rare person in our line of work and from now on any new employees at my shop are going to be required to watch this video so they can see and hear how a proper professional technician/service writer present themselves.Thankyou for the video and Thanks for being you!!

This is the first time watching this. It's fascinating. I became a 5K oil changer 3 years ago taking Ahmed's advice. Despite the annoyance of cartridge removal to change the filter ordeal each time I don't regret it at all. If it helps others who do their own oil changes on their Toyotas using the cartridge system and can't deal with the stupid plastic piece that is so difficult to insert to remove the cartridge oil there is a $13 threaded insert device that can be hand screwed into that opening with a plastic tube on the other end that makes it a reasonably pleasant process, with practically no mess at all. It's called a MOCW filter drain tool. Using it for the first time gave me a smile. As always, I am very grateful to Ahmed for the wonderful support he has given me through his videos to help keep our two Toyotas running.. It's not only that he delivers fine information it's the way he says it that makes taking care of our cars an inspiring process.

If I could give a love icon for this video I would. This was so properly and professionally done! I really do appreciate everything about this: the attention to details, the focal point about "religiously" doing the proper oil change service intervals, and the tear down & build back process. Thank you so much for doing this! In the end I'm happy to say my wife's 09 Corolla is testament of longitivity. At 205k (currently) is still running like a top without issues because of the proper oil change services I do every 3k using high quality oil and oem toyota oil filters. That lil' 1.8L is still avg 32mpg which just astounds me! As they say, you take care of your ride and it will take care of you!

There's nothing I respect more than someone who has a passion for their job and takes pride in their work. It doesn't matter to me if they are a janitor or a rocket scientist. Guys like him, no matter what the profession, are few and far between anymore. If you can find a mechanic with even a fraction of this man's knowledge and interest in his job, and for the cars that he works on, then you've found the mechanic who deserves your business.

I have a story for you regarding Toyota. An old boss had a friend that loved his Toyota. It was serviced regularly. This car refused to break down. Other then the odd water pump, starter and alternator and regular oil changes nothing else was replaced. It was super high mileage. Toyota promised this man a new Toyota for free if he could make it last for 1 million km. The mileage on this Toyota was at 995000km and someone hit this car really bad. The damage at that time was $6500. The insurance company was going to turn this car into a total loss but the owner refused. So the owner paid out of his pocket to have this car repaired. 6 months later he was driving a brand new Toyota free of charge. Now that has to say about the Toyota brand and reliability.

Love your shop, your work ethic, your business ethics, dedication, and professionalism. I've been doing DYI on cars and motorcycles for over 40-years, and am getting back to doing nearly all my own work because of quality issues with work being done at various shops. If you were located in Northeast Florida, I'd use your shop exclusively!!

Just want to say with the work I see you do & how you speak so passionately about your work proves you actually do this from your heart. My father is the same way with people & their cars. I grew up watching him do these same things. He also would constantly tune up his 70’ Chevelle & that was a beautiful sight. You do good work & you gained a follower. 🙏🏽
