Youtube hearted comments of Kim Davis (@kimdavis5631).

  1. "Let's start with the engine". What a breath of fresh air! Sick and tired of reviewers commenting on fender flares and grille designs for the first 15 minutes.

  3. Where in this world can Toyota owners get this type of Toyota education and information. AMD is simply unbeatable. Toyota - You need to give AMD more awards and compensation to play fair. We get so much brand confidence and our brand loyalty is on steroids with each published video from this incredible channel.

  4. "It's the little things that make the big difference." This is a valuable gem brother. So true not only for car owners, but also in business and family relationships.

  5. My 2005 4Runner got totalled in an accident two years ago šŸ˜¢. Me and my family still miss her and haven't gotten over it. A distracted driver missed a red light and t boned us. It was a tank that saved our life.Thank you brother for your review!

  6. Much awaited one brother! Your unbiased and professional buying guides are simply unbeatable and they are my favorites.
    61
  7. This has been the most helpful 4Runner review for me. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge to the world.
    53
  8. "Keep life simple and life becomes good!" - a golden nugget right there!
    53
  9. You thorough and honest straight shooter reviews are a great contributor to the sales of Toyotas. I hope Toyota offers you a free vehicle for your incredible contributions and help to the community!

  10. Hi Brother! Looking at the pattern with Toyotaā€™s new gens, it sounds like the kinks are all worked out well with updated parts and software in the 3rd year model of the generation. It is very impressive how quick Toyota is in fixing them so quickly unlike other manufacturers. Toyota is also kind to provide extended warranties.
    45
  11. Thank you my brother. In the current crazy used car market, fixing and driving our cars untill the wheels fall off is certainly a smart financial decision!
    27
  12. So well explained to keep my attention straight for 21 minutes. You took me down memory lane where I was told by Pepboys (sorry Pepboys for calling you out again) to replace control arms on a 4 year old 2012 Camry that has never seen snow in the south! Thank you again for these videos.
    26
  13. May the Lord bless you dear brother for sharing this gem!
    25
  14. Would be awesome if you can come up with a book called ā€˜Toyota Buying Guideā€™. The next NewYork Times bestseller on automobiles!
    24
  15. Well said. I see Scotty Kilmer as someone who paints a broad stroke on things. When the 2018 redesigned Mustang came out, Scotty was singing its praises based on his customers, his anecdotal experience and the past history, when Ford Dealerships were sweating out the engine and transmission failures. Scotty had no clue about it and I don't blame him. You can only know what you get exposed to. Former Ford master tech Brain Laskowski in Chicago area has precise knowledge of Fords and was not recommending that engine and transmission. In the same light, AMD's strength is his precise knowledge of Toyotas. AMD's level of Toyota knowledge is not possible for Scotty and it will take years for him to catch up as Scotty works on all kinds of cars and will never get exposed to the large set of Toyota data points and experience that AMD is exposed to.
    23
  16. "Find the joy in what you do and take pride in what you do". Thank you for these great words brother! I will remember this when things get challenging. I work in software development industry and I will remember this golden nugget I learnt from you today.
    22
  17. Thank you so much for your honest and unbiased review! I will order this whenever my current lithium-ion jump starter is toast.
    21
  18. YouTube land is filled with car enthusiasts ceramic coating their ride with great love and I also saw some Mustang guys letting their car innocently go 15,000 miles with redline and amsoil oils. Bad idea. This video is a breath of fresh air. Thank you again AMD! Some day we will enjoy watching you debunk the lifetime transmission fluid!
    20
  19. The best video on tires hands down.
    17
  20. This is gold! Very excited to watch!
    17
  21. This scan tool looks a lot cooler than Scotty's $5000 "fancy scan tool" šŸ˜‚šŸ‘
    16
  22. This is real world šŸŒŽ instruction brother, not another lecture by a boring professor. Iā€™m not a car guy, but a good teacher like you has made this car topic so interesting!
    15
  23. Your video makes my day brother. Thank you for being what you are.
    15
  24. It was funny when you talked about car journalists! I got tired of them talking about soft arm rests and size of cup holders!
    15
  25. Unbeatable technical review of the Taco Truck engine! The test drive is the icing on the cake!
    15
  26. Excellent. I have a 2012 4Cy Camry with 137K miles now! So glad you made this video and it felt like talking to you in person. Like you mentioned, I had to have the TC replaced due to the shudder I experienced during 75K fluid change. The power door locks are also shot exactly as you mentioned. I was blaming my little one thinking he must have poured juice or something. Good to know that it is the actuators failing. Been replacing transmission fluid every 60K. It does burn some oil between 5K/6M oil changes especially after trips. I top it off once a month. Is it a good idea that I change the interval to 3K miles/3 months to keep the car running longer? Thanks again!
    14
  27. Awesome brother! When a Toyota Master Tech works on Mercedes, it's like flexing the muscles!
    14
  28. Glad you talked about the tire pressure! I had a similar question in my mind today. Is it okay to fill up the tires to recommended pressure after driving? or should we fill them before driving when the tire is cold? There are different opinions around this. Some say that after driving the tire gets warmer and the reading should be adjusted for that difference.
    12
  29. Wow, Sienna was on my mind and you are putting out a video! Thank you brother!
    12
  30. Thank you AMD for your honesty. Truth wins! May your channel grow and grow! I will definitely spread the word in the forums and groups that Iā€™m part of!
    12
  31. This is an awesome review for Siennas. Iā€™ve been binge watching and loving every bit of it. I just wish Iā€™m not dreaming and this is all real!
    12
  32. Wow, never knew that the Crawl Control is an off-road cruise control. Well put and easy to remember this way.
    12
  33. Hi my brother! This has been a very intriguing topic for me. I spent some time looking at my past oil change receipts last week. I've been changing my oil every 5000 miles since brand new and oil consumption started at 130K miles regardless. For me, the main culprit feels like stop-and-go traffic and the added one hour of idling during lunch hour every single day. I often debate in my mind now if I should have done 3000 mile oil changes from the start to combat this abuse!
    11
  34. Thank you brother for sharing your knowledge. You are the best!
    11
  35. Which family doesn't love a loud Sienna burnout! The best minivan period. If AMD endorses it, I'm buying it!
    11
  36. Happy Saturday, my brother. Thank you for your hard work and help.
    10
  37. This is top quality instruction coming from someone with hands-on experience that may not be available even in the best of the best schools!
    9
  38. Seriously I have given up my quest for a new fun non-Toyota sports/muscle car. They all have their catastrophic flaws. There is hardly any support or assurance and it has only one assurance - losing your hard-earned money. As long as our dear AMD's channel exists, I'll only keep or buy Toyotas.
    8
  39. Very comprehensive information. Simply unbeatable!
    8
  40. Hi Brother! Enjoyed your video. I shared your hybrid filter maintenance video to a group and the members were very appreciative. While weighing the pros and cons of hybrid vs plug-in hybrids, it sounds like plug-in technology is more suited to daily commuting, whereas regular hybrids are good for both daily commutes and long road trips. Is that a right understanding? Thank you.
    8
  41. Congrats winners! Thank you brother, your channel is a gift by itself!
    8
  42. Enjoying every bit of this explanation of Hybrid technology. What a marvel of engineering!
    8
  43. Wow, what an exciting topic my brother! If you donā€™t mind sharing some spoiler alert, how many parts do you have planned on 4Runners and on what other 4Runner contentšŸ™‚?
    8
  44. Ha Ha, love the BMW B7 Alpina toward the end of the video!
    7
  45. Happy wife - happy life and the wife is always right even if she is wrong šŸ˜‚. This was hilarious brother!
    7
  46. Wow, as Iā€™m watching this video, this reminds me of a tech at Pepboys telling me to replace all shocks and structs on a perfectly running and bone dry 4Runner I had at that time.
    7
  47. Excellent one my brother. I listened twice. This is a dream "car channel" for sure. What a quality instruction!
    7
  48. 4Runner is leading the longest lasting (by miles) and highest resale value vehicles in a statistical study by iseecars, an automotive research firm that analyzes millions of cars sold every year.

  50. Wow, I just started watching this. You are a great educator, brother!
    6
  51. Same here!
    6
  52. This review is very helpful brother! Thank you for making a video and the discount code!
    6
  53. Loved the diagram and explanation!
    6
  54. 100% agree. Record breaking for sure. Who in YouTube expertly answers our questions. Unimaginable.
    6
  55. Thank you dear brother, this video is so helpful. After watching your videos, I stopped going to cheap shops that turn my Toyota into a junk by putting non-OEM parts. My recent oil change was at a dealership and I have the peace of mind that I have the Toyota approved oil and filter.
    6
  56. I always wanted to get one from Toyota and do it myself! So far Iā€™ve been going to AutoZone and having them install the aftermarket ones.
    6
  57. "The owner is a car care nut like myself" - Ha Ha, that was funny! My little one was asking me a few days ago "Hi dad, what is car care nut?".
    6
  58. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks! Yes, luckily no one got hurt.
    6
  59. My factory one lasted for 9 hard years of abuse in stop and go traffic and one hour of lunch hour idling every day. I now have the Autozone one. I wish I has seen this video before and gotten the OEM alternator. Now I have the knowledge because of you!
    5
  60. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you so much brother!
    5
  61. Scotty Kilmer is a car primary care physician. You are a Toyota care specialist! I loved the endless money pit picture of Mercedes lol
    5
  62. Wow, really love Tacoma after seeing this. Old school is the good school!
    5
  63. Thank you brother. Eagerly looking forward to your Highlander technical review. Congratulations on reaching the 100K milestone. You are the best. You love and respond to our comments and questions. Very kind of you.
    5
  64. Awesome brother! Looking forward to a transmission assembly next!
    5
  65. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wow, that is so sweet. Never in my 17 years of driving, I've had an engine or transmission problem in a Toyota. It was intriguing to know about that rental car that needed a new engine. Now I understand why used rental cars have screaming deals!
    5
  66. 1st!
    5
  67. Thank you brother!
    5
  68. What a great explanation! I wish I had this kind of high quality instruction in my school and college. I would have paid attention to the class well!
    5
  69. Ancient = More time to improve = Most Reliable
    5
  70. Then only car channel where I hit the thumbs up button for new videos even before watching! šŸ‘šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘.
    5
  71. Hi Brother, is the 4 cylinder Tacoma the only one that still has the solid cast iron block? Is there any other Toyota that still has that?
    4
  72. Toyota is very lucky to have you and so are we. Thank you for sharing this tip.
    4
  73. The way you explained the 2nd gen heating mechanism was so easy to understand!
    4
  74. Just inspect well before buying. This is still the best van out there in the automotive market. Toyota Sienna problems are more like 1st world problems šŸ™‚.
    4
  75. Love this series. Does Toyota still gets pads from Akebono company in Japan? Thanks.
    4
  76. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay. The independent mechanic I sometimes visit is very trustworthy, but never uses OEM parts lol. Thanks for showing us the difference in OEM quality!
    4
  77. Long live hybrids. Corporate America only thinks about the next quarter profit and shareholders. Corporate Japan thinks about the next 20 years and they nailed it!
    4
  78. Than you dear brother for exposing this stealership scam. My grandfather used to say that this world is pleasurable to live only because of honest people.
    4
  79. Same here, but extended warranty or VSC is more like an insurance policy for peace of mind šŸ™‚!
    4
  80. Definitely an engineering marvel! Thank you for explaining everything in english for us!
    4
  81. Thank you for sharing these valuable stories my brother. Before subscribing to your wonderful gem of a channel, I had zero trust on dealerships. I always thought that they have greedy sales and service departments that are out there to rip off everyone. People like Scotty Kilmer, who so many trust for car advise, should not over generalize things and create confusion in the minds of customers. According to him, dealerships are a scam and service advisors are clowns. I have to agree with that for some service advisors at my local dealership, but after watching your videos, I developed deeper knowledge of maintenance and a new genuine respect for dealership technicians.
    4
  82. You are the best, brother! Another stellar video!
    4
  83. I have a Camry that serves me well, but when I go on road trips with my family, I wish I had bought a minivan.
    4
  84. HA HA HA! Lifetime powertrain warranty and lifetime transmission fluids! Thank you brother for covering this.
    4
  85. Ā @samuelrodriguez-hc9zrĀ  In a recent dream car video, I remember hearing the name Ahmed. Ah Me D - there you go! Just my guess!
    4
  86. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  OMG! Thank you so much for sharing. Itā€™s a mystery now how much of that tried and trued technology will continue in the 2022 model.
    4
  87. Dennis, I had the same feeling today. Especially after binge watching every video in CCN channel during the holidays!
    4
  88. Hi James, I think there is a difference between anecdotal experience and statistical experience. Your experience is based on 5 vans. CCNā€™s experience is based on hundreds/thousands of vans day in and day out. Which one is statistically significant? I think failure points should be analyzed based on statistically significant data. Parts Manufacturers usually already have an estimated failure rate in components thatā€™s expected. It may not always be 100% due to variations in production batches.

  93. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great! Will do that. Thanks again!

  94. Thank you brother!
    3
  95. Happy New Year my brother! Around this time is my 1st year anniversary of subsciribing and following your incredible channel. Your 1st 4Runner review got me hooked!
    3
  96. Totally agree. AMD sees Toyotas all day and his knowledge of Toyota is unbeatable and so precise.
    3
  97. I hear that a redesigned NextGen 4Runner might come out for 2023 model! Iā€™m guessing there will be turbo/GDI/hybrid technologies. It sounds reasonable for new designs to have some bugs that needs to be ironed out in the next few years. In your experience, how many years does it usually take for ironing out the new design bugs? Thanks!
    3
  98. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thatā€™s definitely impressive by Toyota. Thank you!
    3
  99. Personally I hate the look of Jeeps. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
    3
  100. EPA, please don't choke the engines and transmissions to death by your mandates. We want old school reliability!
    3
  101. Hi Brother! I go through a lot of stop and go city traffic and idle everyday during my lunch hour. Iā€™m thinking about switching to 3000 mile oil changes and 30,000 miles transmission fluid flushes. Is this a good thing to extend the life of the car or is this an overkill? Thank you.
    3
  102. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you dear brother. The feeling that comes from knowing the car and itā€™s maintenance from you is incredible. I enjoy that while driving and gratefully think about you while Iā€™m at the dealership. Having schooled from your videos, I feel confident and empowered.
    3
  103. Hi my brother! Your "How to maintain your Toyota" playlist is worth its weight in gold for a layman and lite car enthusiast like myself. My local dealership recommended 11 services to me last Saturday and I was able to separate the wheat from the chaff as I'm following all of your maintenance recommendations to the T and the car thanked me after a recent PCV valve replacement. Thank you brother.
    3
  104. I enjoyed watching about Toyota Safety Sense.
    3
  105. I love this series! I learnt a lot from your brake story. I used to never trust dealerships until after subscribing to your channel. When two dealerships report a same problem, I would have them fix it. What a bad idea, by the time I get a second opinion, I've driven 5000+ miles already and brakes start having squeaky sounds.
    3
  106. Dr. AMD is the Professor of Toyota!
    3
  107. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  This is golden Toyota knowledge. Thank you so much!

  108. AMD - Attention to Minute Details! Thank you for this awesome series brother!
    3
  109. Go to playlist section for a series on how to maintain your Toyota.
    3
  110. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Yes. It was sad when I saw a colleague of mine falling for Kia/Hyundai for ā€œmore features for the priceā€. Thatā€™s like going for form over substance.
    3
  111. I always learn something from these stories. Thank you brother for sharing!
    3
  112. If a car is neglected, it will turn out to be a nightmare even if it is a Toyota. The nightmares described are things to check out on a used car before buying so we donā€™t buy a neglected one. Toyota still has the highest reliability in the minivan segment.
    3
  113. Hi Brother! Would love to see a full review of your dream car one day!
    3
  114. For transmission fluid, would you recommend getting a flush or just a drain and fill? Thank you.
    3
  115. Hi Brother! What product do you use to wipe and shine you car? Looks fabulous. I enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing your dream car philosophy in the end. It was very helpful. May I also know how old was the car, how many miles you had when you bought it and was it from a MB dealership? Thanks!
    3
  116. There is a LOT of pressure these days from EPA, IIHS and NHTSA to make highly unrealistic fuel efficient engines and five star safety rated cars. The result? Extremely complex software and super high tech electronics. That adds additional failure points on top of just mechanical wear and tear of parts. Show me one software that has been bug free when it was released to production. If you want to be super conservative and avoid the new model warranty, TSB and recall headaches, wait until the redesigned engine and transmission design combo has been out for atleast five years and get the 6th year model. I had a new Mustang with redesigned engine and transmission and I fully understand what you are going through. I traded-in that shit box last month. For the first 5 years, owners are literally like guinea pigs or to sound more polished, beta testers. That said, Toyota is so much better than other manufacturers.
    3
  117. Hi Brother! The common stuff I hear about 2021 Sienna is long stopping distances and loud gasoline engine noise. Would love to hear your experience, which in my book is the real deal! Thanks!
    3
  118. Thank you so much. Couple questions that I always love to ask every great tech I meet, if you donā€™t mind (or maybe a video suggestion šŸ˜‰) 1) What cars(s) do you own personally? 2) If someone gifts you with lifetime purchase/maintenance expenses, what dream car would you drive?
    3
  119. Hi brother! Happy Saturday. I came across this video about engine noises in new 4Runners. Could this be just an outlier or a normal one? Thank you! https://youtu.be/4Ux667qwtGo
    3
  120. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this.
    3
  121. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Somebody asked about that noise again today and he says they didnā€™t build them correctly without stating the facts. This is annoying when people make comments like ā€œthey didnā€™t build em rightā€ or ā€œthey donā€™t make em like they used toā€ and donā€™t give the actual facts. Thanks AMD, you are a breath of fresh air for the Toyota world. https://youtu.be/b50tHG-0YcA
    3
  122. Just started watching this series from your awesome playlists and I'm super excited! Regarding 2.56: I was also surprised to learn that Supras and 86s are actually BMWs and Subarus under the hood! What muscle/sports cars/sedans do you think are reliable in the current automotive market? Thanks!
    3
  123. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks! Smart move by Toyota with that BMW I6 engine and ZF 8HP transmission! Turbo seems to be the only caveat for potential reliability concerns. Are the Lexus turbos reliable in your experience?
    3
  124. Forgot to add lifetime wheel alignment šŸ˜‚
    3
  125. This video was very informative. I started my day with this! Thank you for restoring my faith in the dealerships. There is a belief in some car communities that they are all just out there to get you. I will think not all are like that. They follow procedure and use OEM parts, which will just naturally raise the overall service cost. I only adjust tire pressures at home when the light comes on or if not, every time I get an oil change 5000 miles/6M - which ever comes early. Is that a reasonable strategy? Thank you and God bless.
    3
  126. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you brother! The beginning of every season sounds like a great idea. Here in Atlanta, the weather sometimes fluctuates!
    3
  127. The dislikes are from aliens šŸ‘¾ getting jealous on reliable luxury cars on earth.
    3
  128. Hi brother, while the 4Runners look rugged, strong and well built, I see that Highlanders have better NHTSA and IIHS crash test ratings when compared to the 4Runners. Any thoughts on what could cause that? Thank you.
    3
  129. Hi Brother! There has been widespread reports of V8 engine lifter failures in GM and Dodge Hemi engines lately. Is the lifter issue impacting Toyota V8s as well? I've never heard you mention so I'm guessing it's not! I thought all manufacturers will have some common suppliers for parts.
    3
  130. Happy Sunday brother!
    3
  131. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  In my visits to dealerships, Iā€™ve only spoken to the service advisors, who didnā€™t sound very knowledgeable about repairs. Iā€™ve never had the opportunity to interact directly with technicians. Is the culture different in different dealerships? It is nice that you replicated the concern to your customer!
    2
  132. That 1234 name of refrigerant is so funny!
    2
  133. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  He said he wants to be buried with his Celica! Thai, so good luck getting that šŸ˜‚
    2
  134. Ā @on-site4094Ā  I think it is more of a market pressure. When one manufacturer has LED headlights, everyone has to join to stay relevant.
    2
  135. Ā @BryanTorokĀ  I wonder what the price difference is between regular vs LED headlight assembly replacement for Toyotas. The part costs close to $1500 per side for a BMW 2 series šŸ™‚.
    2
  136. Hi brother! A question about tire maintenance. The shops that sell tires (Discount Tires for example) also sell lifetime tire rotation and balancing ($80 for 4 tires). Are these rotation and balancing packages worth it for Toyotas?
    2
  137. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great, they include balancing every 10,000 miles! Is tire rotation required every 5000 miles as they recommend? Or is this an overkill?
    2
  138. Hi brother! Is it generally allowed by a dealership to get a CPO car inspected again in another dealership? Being the OCD I am, this might give some peace of mind. Also going by the saying - measure twice and cut once! Thank you for this stellar video!
    2
  139. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  How about taking the car to the next Toyota dealership for a PPI. They are going to look at me like a weirdo lol but is that a reasonable request as well brother? Thanks!
    2
  140. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Oh I understand. Actual no, I don't know anyone at the other dealership. Just equating it to consulting another good doctor for a second opinion. I can perhaps use a 3rd party service like lemonsquad. My trusted independent mechanic is about one hour away though.
    2
  141. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That is hilarious šŸ¤£. I never saw that coming. I will check it out!
    2
  142. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That is great!
    2
  143. Great way to start my day. Happy Saturday brother!
    2
  144. Hi Brother! A question came up that I wanted to ask you. My commute involves driving 70 miles total which also includes 70-75 mph in a freeway. At what mileage/age does a well maintained car becomes unsafe to drive in this manner? Currently I have racked up 140,000 miles in my 2012 4 Cy Camry and there is always this fear in the back of my mind about car getting older with higher miles and its structural/mechanical integrity at 70+ mph. Is there a retirement mile/age for this type of usage?
    2
  145. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great! Thank you brother!
    2
  146. Thank you my brother for explaining auto warranty in simple language. It finally is making sense to me.
    2
  147. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Yes brother, Iā€™ve been owning this car since new. Iā€™ve done oil changes every 5000 miles or 1 year (instead of 6 months). The longest interval has been 7000 miles a couple times. It burns half an inch from from the max level in the dipstick every 300 miles. Iā€™ve been observing this only after 130,000 miles.
    2
  148. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks for your suggestion! Can I request an oil cleaning service at my local dealership?
    2
  149. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  I called three dealerships and they donā€™t do this service here unfortunately. Maybe I should try independent shops. Do you use this solution? https://www.donvalleynorthtoyota.com/toyota-parts-focus/toyota-engine-oil-system-cleaner/
    2
  150. Sounds like a simple procedure. I will try the Liqui Moly 2037 Pro-Line Engine Flush before my next oil change. Thanks so much brother!
    2
  151. Thank you so much for this video. This is incredibly helpful. How often should the fuel/gas cap needs to be replaced? I heard if very old and leaking, it can result in check engine light.
    2

  154. Hi Brother! A dumb question as Iā€™ve never driven a pickup truck. Is a Tundra interior more roomy than a Sienna for 1st two rows? The truck looks really big and appears comfortable for a family of 4!
    2
  155. I generally buy a new Toyota and tend to keep them till the wheels fall off. For my case, how often should I replace the brake fluids? Thanks!
    2
  156. Hi brother! A question came up about checking oil levels. I do check once a month. When the engine is cold, the level should be about half way between the dots in the dipstick. When the engine is warmed up to operating temperature and turned off, after waiting for 5 minutes, the oil level should be on the max level on the dipstick. Is my understanding correct? Thank you!
    2
  157. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you! A lot of times I have misread the cold reading to be an oil consumption issue as it is usually below the max limit. I will check the hot reading going forward!
    2
  158. Hi Brother! I heard that it is recommended to change oil based on engine hours if we idle a lot. I'm thinking of buying an engine hour counter. Do scan tools such as bluedriver give that information? Is there any count of hours that you would recommend for the oil change interval? Thank you!
    2
  159. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That's awesome! Thank you!
    2
  160. Hi Brother! I want get the throttle body cleaned. Could you help me with name of that service offered in the dealership? Is it called fuel system induction service? Thank you!
    2
  161. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay! Thank you kindly for taking the time to reply.
    2
  162. I hope you are doing okay.

  163. Hi brother! I have a question on AC fan issues on 2012 Camry. The weather was hot with 85F last weekend and the AC fan didn't turn on. I used my blue driver OBD scan tool and found a few codes - C1426, U0073, B1585 and P0504. The next day the AC fan started working. The same issue happened last summer when the car was parked outside in 100F sun. Would love your thoughts on this. Thank you!
    2
  164. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Ā When the fan didn't come on, the AC cooling effect seemed to be off, but the green AC light was still on. With those codes, the tool also hinted at brake light switch and control module-sensor communication. The brake lights are working with no issues though.
    2
  165. Is the filter cleaning available in Toyota dealerships as a service option? The compressed air tool you used is super cool compared to vacuum cleaners. May I know the brand name of that? Thanks!
    2
  166. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you kindly.
    2
  167. Dodge the Dodge šŸ¤£ - just kidding. To make a fair apples to apples comparison, we need a similar video from a Dodge Master Diagnostic Technician.
    2
  168. Hi brother! If the Sienna sliding door buttons stop working, can we live with manual sliding door?
    2
  169. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Yes, the one on the overhead console or key fob.
    2
  170. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That worked! Thanks! I must have pushed the lowerswitch to off position. After putting it in on, the buttons work. Itā€™s a 2012 that I got from my neighbor for few days and he trying to sell it. It has 136K miles. The power locks went out in my 2012 Camry and Iā€™m able to live with it. Is the same manual usage possible in Sienna when the power buttons eventually stop working?
    2
  171. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you brother. Much appreciated.
    2
  172. ā€œWe are car care nutsā€! Loved that! I need a lawn mower and found a channel called lawn care nut šŸ„œ šŸ¤£
    2
  173. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wow, thank you for recommending that. I will look further into that channel. Need a good mower so I can stop paying a monthly fee and do it myself going forward! Do you have any brand that stands out to you? It looks like Honda is at the top.
    2
  174. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great! Thank you brother, I see he has many Toro videos, I will also consider that!
    2
  175. Love this content!

  178. Thank you dear brother. You are God sent. End of the day, even Toyota becomes a FORD - Found On the Road Depreciated.
    2
  179. Hi Brother! A used car buying question. Sometimes, a newer Toyota with high miles (100K+) and an older Toyota (10+ years) with low miles have the same price. In such cases, which one is a better choice assuming they are well maintained and pass pre-purchase inspection. Thank you.
    2
  180. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wow, thatā€™s great to know. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
    2
  181. Hi brother, may I know what is the minimum amount of fuel in the tank that is a ā€˜must haveā€™ to make sure the fuel pump doesnā€™t burn out due to lack of lubrication? Thank you.
    2
  182. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you brother for taking the time to answer my question. You are a treasure wealth of knowledge on Toyotas. Very inspiring indeed. A video suggestion topic that I couldnā€™t resist sharing: ā€œWhat all did you do and experience in your life to get this farā€.
    2
  183. Hi Brother! Loved your live chat today. Thank you for your compassion and love. What are your thoughts on Land Cruisers? I see that they cost twice that of 4Runners but look almost the same.
    2
  184. Hi Brother, I heard somewhere in the past that higher horsepower causes more strain, wear and tear on the car and lowers the reliability. Toyota is conservative in its horsepower numbers and this seems to be helping with the reliability, whereas products like Dodge, crank up a lot of horsepower and have a shorter life. Is this true? Would love to hear your thoughts on it! Thank you so much.
    2
  185. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That makes sense! Thank you šŸ™
    2
  186. Hi brother! In one of your videos or maybe live talks, you mentioned that your 2012 Camry got totaled in an accident. Iā€™m so sorry to hear that. Did anyone got injured? I hope not. You also mentioned that you were looking at Rav4 Primes. May I know what you love about Rav4 Primes? I hear that it the fastest Toyota after the Supra.
    2
  187. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you for sharing that brother. Iā€™m happy to hear that no one got injured. You are totally right, even if car is part of a family, it is replaceable! You have a long commute and hybrid prime makes total sense! Thanks.
    2
  188. I donā€™t own a hybrid, but this video was an amazing learning experience for me! A stupid question, you mentioned about GAP insurance in the end. Is this something that regular insurance companies offer? ( ex: Progressive, State Farm....). Thank you.
    2
  189. Keep going until 300K!
    2
  190. I have a question about pre-purchase inspection for a 2016 Highlander at a Toyota dealership. Is it okay to pay the same dealership technician for a pre-purchase inspection or is it better to go to a different dealership for the inspection? Also, is it really required to inspect CPO cars? Arenā€™t they are already inspected and certified by technicians? Thank you kindly.
    2
  191. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Excellent, thanks so much!!
    2
  192. Hi brother! What are your thoughts on Kroger/Racetrack gasoline? They are not in the top tier list like Costco/Shell/Exxon but a lot of people are using their gasoline with nice discounts by using membership cards. Wondering if you have any thoughts or is top tier strongly recommended even if station is a bit far from home. Thank you dear brother and my trusted friend. I subscribed to your channel last Christmas and it has been so enriching. I not only love your content but I love your saintly nature. May the Lord bless you and your family more and more.
    2
  193. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you brother! You see car problems every day at your work and I trust your judgement and will go for top tier brands. Good night!
    2
  194. Hi Brother! I think now I know why 4Runner repeatedly gets shot in the IIHS crash test. As you so rightly mentioned, itā€™s a 2010ā€™s design being carried over and over. The driver side frontal small overlap crash test is where 4Runners notoriously fail. IIHS introduced that test in 2012 to replicate what happens when the front left corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole. Canā€™t fault Toyota engineers on a 2010 design for a crash test introduced in 2012. Iā€™m sure Toyota will correct this with stronger reinforcement in the next gen 4Runner as they did with Highlander and Sienna and won the prestigious top safety pick plus award for 2021.
    2
  195. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Makes sense! Itā€™s also a good a PR move to move higher up in consumer reports ranking. In 2014.5 Camry, did Toyota add a beefier front end? Curious how they correct these issues. I suspect these fixes are expensive as they have to destroy cars by crashing them in the tests or use advanced computer simulations.
    2
  196. Hi AMD, thank you for another quality Toyota content! Let's say there is a 2nd car sitting unused in the garage as lot of work has shifted to home these days due to COVID-19 restrictions. In this case, what is the minimal amount of driving required to prevent a battery from going south? I've been doing 20 minutes of driving once a week. Is that an overkill or is 30 minutes once a month good enough? I'm a bit uncomfortable using battery tenders/maintainers as there have been some (very rare) reports of fires in some garages.
    2
  197. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Awesome. Thank you.

    2
  200. Hi Brother! I wish my workplace parking lot is covered and not exposed to the harsh sun down here in Georgia. Is it a good idea to park hybrids under trees? I heard somewhere that leaves, especially from pine trees can mess up the AC compressor. Tree sap can spoil the clear coat, but hybrid batteries are clearly more critical to take care of. Thanks for sharing these tips!
    2
  201. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay. Thank you kindly.
    2
  202. Even after hearing the words - awesome, bulletproof, extremely reliable and best truck ever? Go figure.
    2
  203. I also have a Car Care Nut clean engine bay my brother. Recently had a tech appreciate me. Wish there is a sticker saying Car Care Nut that we all can stick on! šŸ‘šŸ‘
    2
  204. I will buy a new ancient 4Runner only after my 2012 Camry engine/transmission breaks down. That means I might miss the ancientness of it! Toyota, please please keep it ancient and listen to AMD!
    2
  205. Thank you AMD šŸ™. My apologies for asking so many questions. You are the best. Often Iā€™ve gotten suggestions from some shops to change my thermostat, radiator cap and radiator hoses as a preventative measure along with the coolant flush service. How often should these parts be replaced?
    2
  206. Learnt so much from this!
    2
  207. Excellent car dear brother! Thank you for sharing your journey!
    2
  208. What an awesome video on Toyota Hybrids! You closed an open loop that a lot of us have and will have on Toyota Hybrids. Wouldnā€™t it be so wonderful if there is one YouTube star like AMD, for each car brand? To Car Manufacturers: This is what creates brand loyalty and organic confidence for current, returning and potential customers. You can market what you want, but brand loyalty and trust has to be earned in an organic way. This channel is a beacon of light that sets an example. This is the kind of investment that car manufacturers need to make by working with their real-world techs. Trust breeds trust. The world needs real world experts like AMD who talk from their specialized brand experience, voicing unbiased opinions and at the same time very happy to help with our questions. Iā€™m much more comfortable buying Toyotas than ever before, because of this incredible channel.
    2
  209. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Well said. The speed by which Toyota comes up with newly designed engine/transmission fixes and recalls is amazing. I didnā€™t see this during my Mustang ownership. While the car was fun during 0-60, I also had my share of unfixed new design headaches with those.
    2
  210. Hi Brother! In one maintenance video, you mentioned that the engine oil when cold would be below the max level and it expands to max level only when fully warmed up. So when it's cold, how many mm below the max should it be? Thanks!
    2
  211. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you dear brother, that's so awesome to know. The OCD in me often thinks this is oil consumption, I'm so glad it's normal to have it in the middle when cold. This brings up another question, I have the habit of filling the coolant to max level when cold. I learnt that it's incorrect also. How many mm/inch below the max should that be when cold? Thanks again!
    2
  212. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks so much!
    2
  213. No machine is trouble free! The question is the % of trouble, which is far far less in a Toyota 4Runner. Thatā€™s why manufactures have a warranty period.
    2
  214. Ā @IKnewMickeyĀ  Yes! Who wants a 9 minute radio review and a 1 minute engine and transmission review. I love how AMD starts with engine and transmission and hits the nail on the head.
    2
  215. Hi brother! What is the safe frequency for using an engine oil flush on an oil burning engine? Is every other oil change a good idea? Thank you!
    2
  216. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Very kind. Thank you so much!
    2
  217. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay, thank you kindly. For cruise control, the vehicle condition report states switch replacement is needed and for door locks, it says front and rear both sides doors lock actuators are bad and need replacement. The report doesnā€™t mention about body control modules.
    2
  218. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  The cruise control still works like one in 20 attempts when the weather is warm while going for a long drive, but for the most part down. For the door locks, the rear ones went out first and then all of them. They were working intermittently for a few days and later they fully went out. Thank you.
    2
  219. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay, much appreciated brother!
    2
  220. Hi brother! Redlining or revving up the engine to 4000+ RPM cleans the carbon deposits off of the engine. How much do you think is too much where such hard use will wear out the engine faster? Thanks!
    2
  221. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay, thank you brother!
    2
  222. Hi Brother! ā€œKeep your Toyota a Toyota by getting Toyota partsā€, great saying! I currently have aftermarket brand called Duralast from Autozone for alternator, radiator cap and battery. The alternator and battery each have a 3 year warranty. Are these okay to have or can it cause harm? Going forward, Iā€™m only going to get OEM ones. Thanks for the wake up call!
    2
  223. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay, thank you kindly.
    2
  224. Wow, I was thinking about going to discount tire for a rotation and balancing and this video popped up! Thank you brother!
    2
  225. Hi brother! This video was very helpful and I learned the intricacies of diagnosis. Please continue this series!
    2
  226. Hi AMD, some people fear that doing a transmission flush can result in crud clogging up the tiny holes in transmission and cause issues. They only advise drain and fill method. Is this fear more of an old school myth?
    2
  227. Hi Brother! so when dealership has to replace parts to fix our cars, do they give an option for customers to choose between economy vs reman OEM vs new OEM parts?
    2
  228. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  šŸ™
    2
  229. Wow, thank you so much David and Ahmed for this outstanding video. Please do more of this if possible! Thank you also for introducing us to David's channel!

  234. I enjoyed this video. The planetary gear set mechanism was fascinating!
    2
  235. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That is nice brother. I'm will try out Griot's! Thanks!

  236. Forgot to add! I love to see more such stories brother!
    2
  237. Toyotaā€™s suffering is also a blessing. They are into Kaizen. Things only get better and stronger than ever from there.
    2
  238. Hi Brother, my oil level was about an inch below the max when I checked the level today on my 2012 4Cy Camry. Iā€™m yet to do an engine flush that you recommended in the past. By mistake, I topped off with 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 oil. Is this bad for the engine? Thank you.
    2
  239. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great, thank you so much!
    2
  240. Hi Brother, I saw a million mile 1991 Corolla with original engine and original manual transmission! It is a showroom piece in Beaver Toyota, Georgia. This has mostly highway miles driven between Georgia and Florida by a post office employee. What a marvel of engineering! What is the highest you have seen or heard?
    2
  241. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wow, this is the nearest dealership from my home. Too bad for them that they have missed you!
    2
  242. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wonderful. Thanks! Will do this weekend!

  243. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you for sharing!!
    2
  244. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  HA HA thatā€™s true!
    2
  245. Another question brother, how to make Toyotaā€™s exterior paint and interior plastics last long? There are a zillion exterior wax and interior UV protectant products in the automotive aisle that makes the head spin. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your live talk this weekend!
    2
  246. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Subbed to AMMO NYC. I will check out ceramic coating as well. Thanks!!
    2
  247. Hi Brother! A question about warranty. There is a general opinion that a CPO car warranty is much better than a new car warranty. Is this true? I would love your thoughts on that and the reason behind this belief. Thank you! Can't wait for your live streaming!
    2
  248. Hi brother! Is PCV valve replacement a maintenance item and if yes, what is your recommendation on its service interval? Some claim that not replacing that every 30K can cause oil consumption issues. The dealership that did my oil change today recommended a replacement and I was not sure if I must move forward until I learn about it from you. Thank you!
    2
  249. Hi brother! I have a video suggestion. To walk us through the certificates you have hanging on the wall. There are a lot of them and it would be nice to know!
    2
  250. Hey brother! How is the Avalon different from the V6 Camry? Are they built on the same platform? Thanks!
    2
  251. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Okay, thank you kindly.

  252. Hello brother! Thank you for another incredible video! From the 2021 Toyota fleet now, which model do you find to have the best fun/driving experience? This is excluding the Subarus/BMWs that have the Toyota badge on them šŸ™‚. Thank you for your time.

  255. Hi brother! Is it normal for a battery to leak chemicals? Iā€™ve been noticing some wetness around the terminals. Thanks so much for this product review and your test results!
    2
  256. 1st!

  257. The automotive research firm iseecars analyzed over 660,000 cars from the 1981-2005 model years sold in 2020 to determine which cars owners keep for at least 15+ years. The top ranking car was a Toyota Prius!
    2
  258. Glad to learn about the life blood of hybrid cars! Thank you! Do Lexus customers also come to Toyota dealership for servicing? I thought Lexuses have their own dealerships.
    2
  259. Hi brother! Do Toyota hybrids also have a GDI and regular port injection?
    2
  260. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you brother!

  261. OMG, what a beauty! That short block shines!
    2
  262. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  First of all, CONGRATULATIONS for reaching 1M views. Woohoo! That makes sense. I will lookup TNGA. Iā€™ve heard of it but never delved into it!
    2
  263. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thatā€™s awesome! Thanks!
    2
  264. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  While looking up TNGA, I bumped into an article on how body-on-frame constructions being so rigid, can transfer more energy to the vehicle occupants during a crash. Whereas the unibody vehicles can crumple more and dissipate the energy better before it reaches the occupants during a crash. Fascinating. Sounds like there are a lot of variables in a crash test!
    2
  265. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Happy new year brother! For 2021 models, Highlander, Sienna and Camry have been categorized on the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus vehicles. This is great news. It would be nice to see the ultra dependable 4Runners join that category. Itā€™s a truck, so hard to expect that! Lab tests aside. When we look at the real world deaths per million registered vehicles stats, Highlanders and 4Runners are running neck and neck with each other with very few deaths, proving that big and heavy vehicles are safer in a crash. I lost a friend last year due to severe head injuries after getting T-boned by a Chevy Silverado at 60 mph. He was on a Honda Civic NHTSA five star rated car and it took the brunt of the collision. The family (including the baby) in Silverado survived with minor injuries!
    2
  266. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks! With the proliferation of fancy instrument clusters and smart phone usage while driving, it feels better to wear a helmet. Sounds crazy, but atleast one can feel like a race car driver lol
    2
  267. Well said.
    2
  268. Hi brother, I had a minor (aka stupid) incident yesterday in a high parking lot curb. I scraped the splash shield real bad below the front area under the car and it was not staying secured both sides as a result. I put a duct tape to prevent this from dragging on the road. Is this an essential part or is it okay to remove the splash shield? Thanks!
    2
  269. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thank you so much brother. Much appreciated taking the time from your busy day to answer this. I will double check that. I have a jack and need to get a jack stand from AutoZone to take a look. Or I will try to request my dealership to allow me to take a look on the lift as I'm due for an oil change now.
    2
  270. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  I got the fasteners from AutoZone and they are in place now! As you suspected, it was just the fasteners! Thank you so much.
    2
  271. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Thanks brother! That's good news to know that Toyota doesn't use that system.
    2
  272. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  A dumb question brother, I've had a long time crush on V8 soundz. Do you have any recommendation on a (4 door) car/SUV/Truck with a nice V8 sound? I was fishing around GM/Dodges and the lifter failure seems like a ticking time bomb. F-150s with the 5.0 Coyote seems like one option. Does reliability concern really matter these days if we have good extended warranties?
    2
  273. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Great šŸ‘. I will include them in the list as well. Thank you!

  280. This is golden advise for Hybrid owners. A followup hybrid question for those who work from home and during these COVID-19 quarantine and lockdown situations. Is it detrimental to hybrid battery for families that just do a 20 minute driving once a week (grocery runs)? Thank you brother.
    2
  281. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Wonderful. Thank you!

  282. If it was about Chrysler, this video would have taken 4 more hours šŸ˜‚. I just watched about Gen 3 Hemiā€™s camshaft and lifter failures in Uncle Tonyā€™s Garage channel. A great unbiased review from a Mopar guy. Thanks to him for destroying my lust for Dodge Chargers!

  283. Hi AMD, do you know Brian in Chicago? He used to be a Ford Master Tech for 10 years and now runs his own business. Chicago is so lucky to have a great Toyota specialist and a great Ford specialist! God bless!
    2
  284. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  Sure brother. Brian also has a dedicated YouTube channel for Fords. Unfortunately the dealership he was working for was not supportive of his channel. He then received multiple offers from other dealerships and even the UTI school. He later decided to start his own Ford repair shop and it has taken off like crazy for him. Now there are 2 wizards in Chicago area and it only makes Chicago a lucky spot for Toyota and Ford nuts!

  295. Hi Brother! Sometimes after a car is parked for a while, there is a white slimy fluid under the car. Could this be something from the air conditioner? Thank you!

  296. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  It was something I noted after it dried up. It seems like under the AC drain area on the floor. The AC makes a ticking sound while the fan is on and once in a while doesnā€™t blow air. Not sure if they are all related.

  298. Hi Brother! Rumor is out in some 4Runner forums that the 2022 next gen 4Runners will get a new 6 speed automatic transmission. Iā€™m guessing it will be the same one from the current gen V6 Tacomas. How good are these 6 speeds for 4WDs in Tacomas from your experience? Atleast the fuel efficiency should get better I think. Not sure about the reliability. Thanks!

  300. Good point brother about retired folks driving short trips. I notice the same by folks who work from home predominantly. The farthest they drive is a trip to the nearest Costco!

  301. Hi brother! A question on buying Toyota CPO cars. Would you recommend buying a CPO if the maintenance records show 10,000 mile oil changes? This seems like the typical oil change interval in the mainstream world. The world needs more Care Care Nuts for sure.

  304. Hi Brother, when sports car enthusiasts put an aftermarket catback exhaust for a good exhaust sound note, a lot of them donā€™t get a reprogramming done as the change is done after the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. Wonā€™t this change in exhaust geometry impact the airflow rate and back pressure? I never understood why a reprogramming was not required.

  305. Ā @TheCarCareNutĀ  That makes sense. Thank you my brother. Your explanation is the best.

  310. For 2020, 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra are in KBBā€™s top 10 list for highest resale values. The car journalists complain in their reviews about outdated technologies and gizmos, but the resale value says it all!

  311. Hi Brother, did you own a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder Camry? I used to own a V6 Camry back in 2006 and I miss that so much.
