In this video I have a look at a customers Rav4 with a complaint that it stalls at the stop signs. Before we dive in let’s use a few clues we get on a short test drive to see if it cures her problem.
-Enjoy!

People that can't understand you need to check the oil , don't deserve to own a car.
Love the way you "PERSUADED" the cat to enter the door 😂
Luna is going to have fun!!
Driving around with no oil! I like that!
In circa 1983, I first used a full synthetic oil in my big block Chevy and drove it through two summers and one winter. Only about 10k miles, but the winter in Minot, ND didn't do it any favors; it ruined the cam.
Wow. People make you wonder sometimes. Good job as usual
Question what type of cordless soldering torch to you use it's really nice?
Subscriber wanted a in person view 🐭
My brother did this in a 2009 rav4. Just got it from my mom. Should’ve been vociferously grateful. He drove it until it ran out of oil. As a guy who works on cars…I’m not angry I’m just disappointed.
People will not check oil till it makes noise 😢
Toyotas and oil consumption go together like PB and J .
We had a big block chevy c 35 from the feed store limp into bay 1 many years ago that was suckin in the air cleaner lid when you would try to rev it up. Never heard a grown man scream like a child before, but when he pulled off the plastic snorkle tube and the huge rat was staring at him inches away that was priceless. Lol. Btw, Is that a money clip holding your hat together. Lol again
Let Luna handle that mouse.
Tell Luna to hurry up and proceeds to take her sweet time then change her mind at the door 😂
Before i start anyones car, even relatives, i check fluids before a key goes in the ignition.
What about changing the iul filter??
Was there a leak? Where did the oil go?
You can’t fix stupid
A car is one of the expensive things lots of people will ever buy. And then not check the oil or even cooling fluid…. I'll never understand those idiots..
Whst happen to drivers ed. Fortunately no one should have a license if one does not have formal management for car maintenance. 😢😢😂😂
Oil change and the advance is affected and keeps the vehicle in a limp performance to prevent engine from delivering Normal operation and state of tune performance.
Toyota goves another day to love your car a ñittle bit more!!!😢🎉
HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA THE MOUSE!!!!!!! BOUT PISSED MY PANTS LOL
I had a friend once whose car was tapping. I checked the oil. Nothing on the dipstick. Unbelievable! After that, I got him to check the oil every 1000 miles. Instead of English being mandatory in high school, basic auto maintenance should be mandatory.
So that explains the stalling….the mouse keeps jumping off it's wheel! 😅😅
Notice that Luna was sitting under the mouse house. Waiting?
We used to learn about cars and oil from dad. Now dad doesn’t know about cars and oil.
As soon as I saw that filthy engine compartment, and the leaves all over the cowl, I knew, it was going to be out of,oil
It's amazing how many people don't check or change their oil or tire pressures.
I would not have the patience to deal with a customer like that. How can anybody go 14K miles between oil changes?
I bet those mice don't stick around long with Luna on the prowl.
The cat was coming out of that car when you went outside. You interrupted her hunt!
It only takes 4 and you added 3. Did that teach you to check it first before even starting the engine, and the rattle didnt give you a clue? Lolol
I would never even think about doing a test drive without checking the oil in the engine and trasmission first. There are some people that still think when the oil light goes on it means you are low, and its ok to keep driving till you decide to add some. Hint: It's an OIL PRESSURE light, not an OIL VOLUME light.
The mouse was the most exciting part of this video. Sad to say, but true. Your invoice should include one mouse removal and 3 quarts of oil. That should freak the customer out!😂😂
