Your Car Doesn’t Need These 2 Expensive “Services” Don’t Fall For The “Wallet Flush”

Please do not listen to this idiot all these flushes he says dont do are not scams there legit, do us a favor and go ahead and drain your fluid on ur trans and show us what it looks like

Just a couple of things, this sealed for life transmission business is nonsense you can go longer with synthetic but they still need servicing, ZF recommends I service my "sealed for life transmission" every 80 thousand km. Also the power steering reservoir contains a filter so the tank needs replacing when servicing.

Just bought a 2018 GLC300. Iridium spark plugs? Every 50k miles. Tranny oil? Every 60k miles (cost $1,200).

There is a product from BASF KEROPUR, you can use it every 3rd or 4th time you fill up.

Great just when you want to see this clown eating breakfast

Nice video my 2005 e320 with 200k miles never had any of that running like new 👍 I haven't even changed the transmission fluid yet no issues at all

This type of practical advice is what is needed to be shown to people. Thanks for being so down to earth and taking the time to explain things to those of us without wrenches.

Never Never Ever do a transmission FLUSH, a Filter and oil Change is fine… But, in my experience you should at min change it at or around 100k… but, if you car has very dirty almost black looking fluid and rocking 200k or something then I wouldn't recommend doing much to it… I have seen many transmissions fail with dark fluid and a slight "stutter" right after the fluid is changed or flushed.

I was a Metric brand tech in the 90’s and we used to sell the BG fuel system flush services that came with 2 cans, one for the tank and one for the apparatus that went to the fuel rail (anyone remember digging the tokens out of each can? I still have scars!) and many times we did the in tank treatment and threw the other cans in our boxes or dumped the product in a drain pan to get the token out just because many cars were a PITA to hook up to and within a month the tank and delivery system would be missing pieces and was unusable. Techs hate performing some of those services and another .2 or .3 on top of a even a major service that pays 4 hours that you can knock out in an hour and half suddenly you have to sit and let the car run for 30 minutes or more tying up a rack when you could be 1/3 through the next service that the next guy was going to get if you too long. My shop had a few flat bays so I tried to actually do as many as I could just to feel ethical that I had actually done the work the customer paid for, many did not have the same conflict of continence.This was also around the time they went from a tech turning his own hours to the wonderful team system that made you subsidize your lube tech and make it easy for rookies to sit back and take the easy stuff like these goofy flushes while the old wrenches did the hard work while they got the same hour share. Things got really cutthroat at the end and I left the shops in 95 and went into design and engineering but still do all of my own vehicle work and have always driven high performance cars and I would never even consider doing this on my own cars. Wallet flushes for sure and if you use good gas you should be good to go! Pro tip, methanol injection works great for GDI engines that get intake build up! Great video Alex and I keep finding videos I have not seen. Thanks for everything you do for the community.

I paid $700 for my Transmission Fluid Flush at the dealer on my 2015 CLA 250 at 60k miles. Only reason I did it was because my last car 2007 Sentra the transmission was bad and eventually went out.

are this manuals pretty good? i got a e-manual from another place was useless for a 04 w209 clk500

If you use the turkey baster, buy a new one for the kitchen

My MB is running fine. Oil service every 8-10k with an oil filter change as they are cheap and Uber easy to replace every 5K
