Hearted Youtube comments on The Car Care Nut (@TheCarCareNut) channel.

  1. I am very impressed with the car you presented. It looks like a new car. It is hard to believe that it has 341,000+ miles and still has the original equipment. Thank you AMD for showing the potential of a well maintained car.

  2. I would take my Toyota across states to wherever you are for any serious mechanical work. You're a diamond in the rough. I just became a service manager for a Mazda dealership and there is so much knowledge I can share with my team from what you create for free on YouTube. That's just amazing. Thanks!

  3. A funny thing I saw at our local drag strip. Someone put a Rav4 Prime up against a souped up 1970s Chevy Nova in a ¼ mile drag. The Rav4 Prime beat the Nova. Everybody that laughed at the Rav4 but had nothing bad to say when it trapped a 14 second ¼ mile at 99 mph.

  4. I see a new The Car Care Nut video, I immediately watch. Much love to the channel!

  5. The best, the honest and the most comprehensive video about car tech fluids on Youtube! Love your vids! Keep it up!!!

  6. On power steering . Do not just look at the reservoir. Open and check. I found that the plastic will discolor at the level of the fluid, misleading you to think it is full. Same for some coolant overflow tanks. The lttle flashlight is a great tool for all use in a dark engine bay.

  7. PACKING SLIP Translated: [from top] CHECKLIST ..... 1. Item Number Confirmation .... 2. Product Number ... 3. Car Make Number ... 4. Right or Left? ... 5. Color Number ... 6. Specification ... 7. Content Number ... [across bottom] 8. Date ... 9. Packer: Nishikawa .... 10. Double Checked for accuracy by Tanaka [his red personal stamp, called a hanko]. Checked and double checked! Doesn't surprise me as the Japanese are very meticulous people . . . . .

  8. Not saying you’re wrong but I’ve been doing this to my Honda’s and Acura’s since 98 and have never had EVAP problems or failures. 🤔 Great video though nonetheless 💯🍻

  9. Brilliant; there should be an honest master mechanic giving buyers advice like you for EVERY car brand!

  10. Toasted Carmel interior is amazing. When you drive it more the transmission adjusts to your driving style and becomes an equally beautiful thing

  11. Have to disagree with you about the fun that I discovered in driving my Corolla. Turning radius - great; weight distribution - great; low to the ground so it feels as if you are driving a race car. Took my SE hatchback to Watkins Glen International for 4 laps. Got up to almost 90 on straight aways & it hugged the curves like nobody’s business. Even when I hit the speed strip when I took curves, it did not shimmy but stayed on course. I was shocked & amazed as was the lead car, who I matched speed with. He gave me a thumbs up at the end of the four laps.

  12. Your flair for explaining this is only out weighed by your analogies and your bright personality and knowledge of the subject. Great Job

  13. First impressions, what a clean shop you have, and love the fact that you take extra precautions to protect the customers cars,love the towels protecting the paint! Great job

  14. One time I went to a Toyota dealership to pick up some parts and I’ve seen their mobile detailing staff members power washing engine bays in pre owned trade-in cars so I assumed that it was safe enough to spray engine but not the electrical components. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and mechanical knowledge with us 👍.

  15. This is by far my favorite car on your channel. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
    123
  16. I like how you actually teach and have an open mind to different types of cars instead of screaming at us and calling all of us who drive European cars idiots. Very refreshing.

  17. This Camry is brilliant. I sat here thinking: This vehicle might have a tragic history, as in the original owner might have passed on and this car was sitting in a conditioned storage unit until the pre-paid fees were done and the car went up for sale. It is so amazing to show us this, wonderful car, and these last for ever as well.

  18. 2007 Lexus ES350. 2GR-FE. 572,052 miles as I type this. Great engine! If you take care of it, it'll take care of you.

  19. Ahmed and David, Thank you, thank you and thank you. This Dream Team match up was better than I could have imagined!!!! Having two genuine experts share their knowledge and experience with us is a very gracious and generous gift. Did anyone else notice there was not one second of unnecessary 'hype' in the whole video just lots of sound judgment with a healthy dose of enthusiasm! I hope some day you two can take this show on the road across both our countries or perhaps Ahmed can be a guest on David's Automotive Press someday. In regard to people who think their US or Canadian Toyotas are second best, feel free to drop them off outside my house. Just leave the keys and paperwork in my mailbox and I won't charge you a nickel for taking them off your hands. :D

  20. I just bought my first hybrid. I knew there were going to be differences from a conventional vehicle, and this video was awesome! Thanks for the great info!
    122
  21. I really like how aggressive Toyota is on finding defects and immediately fixing them on the production line and then their follow through with the existing customers. Good for them.
    122
  22. This is my favorite restoration project, thanks for all your hard work.
    122
  23. The fact something this complex has only just now after two decades had a material failure simply from age and not from its design is incredible.
    122
  24. Beautiful car, AMD. The owner should be proud. I’d be willing to bet that, if Lexus were to make/sell a limited-edition re-issue of either this or the LS430, they’d sell many more than the LS500! Heck, if they were to do a re-issue LS430, I’d be first in line!
    122
  25. I bought a certified 2016 Camry coming off a business lease. 3 years later, I can say its one of the best cars I have ever owned. Other than oil changes, I have spent zero dollars on repairs.
    122
  26. I did the same 1000 mile break in oil change on my 2021 RAV4 and yes it did have some “glitter” in the oil. Did the second oil change at 5000 miles. Thank you for your unbiased opinion on our Toyota products!
    122
  27. Don’t feel bad about breaking the predator sideboard. They’re terrible.
    122
  28. Listen up people, this guy is good. I’m a retired automotive instructor and it used to amaze me people that I’ve never done a brake job we just jump into it. It’s all the small details that are shown here that make the difference between a poor brake job and an excellent great job.

  29. I have a coworker who owned a 2006 4Runner 4.0L V6 up until 2019. The only reason my coworker got rid of it is due to suspension and water pump issues. My coworker thought the estimate from the dealer and the local repair shop was sky high fix. The SUV was traded in for a new RX 350. After a few days of driving it went to the Lexus dealer asking for the 4runner back and was told the SUV was in the process of being sold. To this day the coworker still lives with the remorse of trading in the 4Runner and mentioned to me it would've been cheaper to repair it instead of making monthly payments now.

  30. This has given me a new appreciation for auto technicians. There seemed to be a hundred things to forget or not install correctly or break while disassembling. Everything about this job was truly impressive! Your dealership is lucky to have you.
    121
  31. 100% agree on the broken parts thing, this is why I stopped taking on any old job after going my own way and started working strictly by referral only, for people I know who know me who take the time and appreciation to listen to details about the job, even when it's the sort of person whose face glazes over at technical stuff, I like knowing that they know "shit happens". It has served me well and gained lifetime customers! They know and love the concept of "it's not that I don't love you, I just don't want to see you again" (If we're doing this, it's getting done right!)
    121
  32. One piece of advice, pull the oil filter first, then the drain plug. you’ll drain all that old oil back into the pan. Very good video by the way!
    121
  33. Its people like you that have made it possible for us DIYers to continue to maintain and repair our vehicles as cars get more and more complicated. Don't think its never appreciated. I love that you're an honest family man and a master of your craft. I'll be here when you get to 2 million.
    121
  34. Not every knowledgable technician has good communication skills. This man has both.
    120
  35. " I have to go wash my hands before I get into the vehicle", everything AMD does exudes quality and care! Always a pleasure to watch his videos.
    120
  36. Alot of shops wouldn't even fix the seat, they would just replace it which would be more expensive. You could have done the same but instead decided to help the customer out and save them some money. Careful out there people every mechanic is not going to be willing to help you out like this.

  37. This is probably the best review of a LC that I have seen, and I have seen many. I was fortunate to find a 2018 CPO Black/Terra with only 29,000 miles last November. Over the last year we have kept it primarily as our long trip vehicle and for towing our 23'Airstream. While we have done mild off roading (Telluride to BridalVeil Falls on Black Bear) it is too much luxury to make that the primary duty. My daily is a 2011 4Runner Trail with 200,000 miles (that has been all over the Alpine Loop in Colorado) and my wife's 2010 Highlander has 315,000 miles (even it has been up Yankee Boy Basin) . I agree most with the comments about the LC having a soul. It feels so incredibly different than my other Toyotas and also so remarkably solid and comfortable compared to my kids Suburbans and Denali XLs. Changing out the OE Dunlops for KAO2s made a huge difference also. I love the fact that if you don't know what you are looking at, you just don't know. I would personally not buy the Lexus version even for same $ if given the opportunity.

  38. The only Mechanic I trust, appreciate the content brother.
    120
  39. Can't emphasize how helpful these "educational " videos are. Not because I have the skills to repair my vehicle myself but it equips me with enough knowledge to understand the issue and keep the shop or mechanic honest. Hate to say it but honest repair shops like the Car Care Nut are getting hard to find. Thank you very much for these videos.

  40. One thing drew me to the Tacoma , simply it is the only manual transmission truck left. Resale value was just a bonus.

  41. AMD, When we give ourselves enough time to really assess these new Hybrids, I expect we will see Toyota got far more right than wrong. Having said that, I would like to see some pickups engineered for maximum fuel efficiency and maximum practicality rather than maximum 'performance'. As inspiration I think of the sensible T100 with an available 8 foot bed or the small, basic, 4 cylinder, RWD Toyota pickups of yesteryear. Yes folks, sometimes adequate is all we really need. Today too many trucks seem to be built to excess. 😁

  42. I'm 31 years old and have owned nothing but Toyota since high school. It's a family "tradition" that we've started since my grandfather bought a Corolla in the 70's and fell in love with it. I wanted to tell you that your content and what you cover is TOP NOTCH. Kudos.
    119
  43. I love this project. Any of these classics that are arguably better than the current versions desires this type of treatment.
    119
  44. You are a true pioneer AMD, not only are you one of a very few to crack into this engine, but you filmed it for all of us to see the insides of the toughest engine ever made. Thank you for taking on this challenge and documenting it, you're my hero.

  45. Nice work! I am a nurse and someone who enjoys working on my cars from time to time. Watching you work is surgical in a therapeutic way. Very clean and professional job you are doing sir.
    118
  46. Congratulations for reaching 1,000,000 subscribers. You did it!

  47. I can't wait for you to get your hands on the new landcruiser and give us your opinion on how it compares to the quality of past landcruisers.
    118
  48. AMD, Is this what is meant by the old slogan - The relentless pursuit of perfection? 🤔😉
    117
  49. My first tools were hand me downs from my Dad. We went thru his ammo boxes of tools and I ended up with a ammo box of a variety but basic assortment. The beginning of my career. I ended up as a mechanic then as Lead mechanic at our school district for 31yrs with a fleet of 98 buses. Now a great retirement 👍

  50. Replace your wipers with PIAA Super Silicone wipers. They are silent and they last for years. The silicone blades are much more resistant to UV rays. They cost more but they last for so long. I'm not associated with PIAA but I am a happy customer!
