Thumbs up Top 10 Mistakes Car Owners Make (Video)

Here is my newest video. It is a list of the top ten mistakes that car owners make. You would be surprised how often I see this garbage so I wanted to make people who dont know, aware.

Let me know what you think!

**Also, if you enjoyed the video, give it a “thumbs up” on YouTube (it helps me out, thanks)***

3k changes is a waste of money, but I am no one to tell you how to live your life, I do not pay your bills.

The oil thing makes no sense. You change regular conventional at 7500 miles but full syn at 5k???
I will continue to change my oil at 3k. I don't care what the oil can "go" to. At 3k my oil is pretty damn filthy.

Yes. I always have oil on stock. 120 degree temps outside will burn any oil, specially having ac full blast and sitting at the us mexico port of entry idling for 2 hours. Even royal purple burned off.
