Oh, is that you moments ago, oh yeah, it looks just like that too. We had mexican for lunch. Oil doesn't normally just leave a film on the funnel, like that. No that's a dirty dirty filter.

There that's solid dirt. We have just made a discovery. It's now saying when he resets it that'll put the right date, but then you see the odometers in kilometers, so it's 166 772, so a little over 100 000 miles so that last one that was at 65 000.. That was at 65 000 kilometers, which is like 40 50 000 miles from my running there.

So really it's been 60 000 miles, since it's had its last oil change. That explains why the oil filter looks like a piece of you know what welcome to the hooves garage, the dumbest automotive channel in all of youtube - and this is my 2019 maserati levante, which was the cheapest in the usa. It was a bank repo with a lot of miles, 104 000 miles despite being a 2019 and well, it wasn't very well maintained. The engine was listed as sludged up and there were lots of other issues, but the biggest issue right now is the smell that is inside the car and much to the detriment of my mental health.

I actually do read most of the comments in my videos and the first comment: was you paid way too much for this thing a little over thirty thousand dollars for a maserati that, like this and well, have you been shopping for a car at all? In the last year - and if this were a chevy equinox a 2019 with a hundred thousand miles on it, they'd still want thirty thousand dollars for it. That's just the world we live in. This was a fantastic deal on an suv that would have been 90 000 new, and the other comment was with the smell which i'm a very innocent person. So i had no idea the smell of ammonia or cat urine is the exact same smell as uh.

Some illegal substances, and then i started putting things together and realizing this car may have had a very, very interesting life before me. Now i should say there are a lot of you that leave nice comments. When you do, i really appreciate it, but in this sense you're actually educating me, because i didn't know that certain illegal substances smell uh like this and the smell, is very concentrated. When you open up the rear hatch into the spare tire area, it's uh really really bad and it is very concentrated in a place where you would hide illegal substances if you were uh smuggling them in your maserati.

Additionally, you saw the b pillar where the seat belt strap is as falling apart. That would be another place where you would hide something which makes sense why that would be taken apart now i hadn't really looked inside here very much. I knew there was some personal items and well i did, and there was some weird things in there: let's just call it that, and i called a friend of mine, who's in law enforcement and asked him what i should do with these things that look suspicious and He said just throw it away: there's no reason to waste a police officer time with a report and paperwork and all the trouble just so you can make a youtube video to see if there's well stuff in your car, not confirmed it is actually a metharati, and So i did follow his advice i put on some gloves and i cleaned all the stuff out of there. There was some other personal items that were quite interesting and well moved on with my day, which is what we're going to do right now.
We're going to take this thing up to the car wizards and hopefully rid it of another vermin in the engine, a bunch of sludge, because while this car was being ran with, who knows what? In the back uh, they weren't changing the oil. So the engine which is ferrari derived a chrysler ferrari kind of mash up into well actually a pretty good engine uh does need some tlc. So, let's head up to the car wizards and also today, i'm going to figure out well, which suv i'm going to get rid of, because this puppy's here, yes i'll, buckle my seat belt. With this contraption beating my head, i had to put air in the tire it was completely completely flat, not quite enough 31 enough to get me to the wizards, and now we have a new issue here with my windshield wipers.

It only works on high. It just stops right there, wherever you turn off the switch at so you kind of have to time it to get to the bottom, but you need it when it's raining, so it's kind of annoying. That's the chrysler parts for sure. There's a lot of chrysler parts in this thing the push button starts.

The infotainment screen is right over chrysler a lot of things so anyway, 2019 car, let's get us to the wizards wizard. I keep looking out the window and seeing this car. I think my wife's here, but then it's you is that a disappointment. Are you excited? Oh, no, no disappointment.

I'm excited. Hopefully she doesn't see this video. It's flushing time, yes, roto-rooter time to flush um, so i got this here huh. If you want to get the get the valve turn the water on i'll go ahead and that's you're going to give some bad advice to somebody and they're going to actually do that.

Please, please, don't that's not an engine flush. So no! This is not an engine. What is an engine flush? It's this awesome, bg epr engine performance, restoration, yes, so bg is actually a local kansas product and i'm sure a lot of you heard of them by now, but they have a lot of stuff. This isn't a paid sponsor or anything like that, but uh.

Maybe we should get out your colonoscopy thing and see the before inside yeah. Let's do that and then we can pour this in. Do you have to run it for a while? You have to let it run like 1200 rpm for a while and uh. Let it do its job.

Yes, no, the teslong teshlong, that's like if you combine forces with the elon musk and tesla david long and tesla. Yes, it'd be touch long. We always joke in the shop. Then it's time to get the teshlong out.

Oh boy, it is very phallic. Isn't it it's very long too? Oh, my goodness! Oh my god, it's in it looks pretty gunky. It's not bad here. Let me see that touch along.
So the audience can view it is it's. It's got a film everywhere, but it's not like chunks of stuff. It's just a light film huh. That's part of the reason why i got this thing.

So cheap is because the oil level was low. It's throwing at the warning light and then they said it had sludge inside which i mean not yeah, not terrible. I guess we'll see before and after what this uh bg stuff can do huh. Yes, let's do it, so you run the car for how long we'll? Let it run for probably 20 30 minutes, and then you shut it off and you drain the oil and do an oil change.

Okay! Well, that probably gives us time to go clean ourselves out. Yes, yeah, you have any ideas where we could go mexican mexican la fiesta. Oh yeah crack over the beer there, something you don't want to drink, oh that that is very strong. Yeah yeah, that's uh, not as strong as what's inside the car, which we're so innocent wizard that we didn't realize that smell could mean illegal substances and not like a cat peed in it yeah.

I thought a cat peed in it. No, no! It didn't cross my mind, there's uh yeah anyway, i filled you in well. The instructions say up to about four or five quarts to use one can, but i know these take like nine or ten, and it says if it's more than that use two cans. Okay, so we're gon na put two cans in.

You would think that uh people running illicit materials would want to maintain their vehicles better because they don't want to be on the side of the road have an encounter with the police. But i don't know: maybe the priority of money expenditure is not balanced. Uh they're wanting to consume their own products yeah. Maybe they were on their own product while they're trying to sell it too.

That's why i always said i was a terrible car salesman, because i was like a drug dealer doing too much of his own drugs, which i just wanted to keep all the cars. Thankfully, i have youtube down so anyway, we run this thing. Yes, push the dodge. Tart start it's not blowing up yet, no believe it! Yes leave it.

You have daniel's son here to turn it off. Yes, all right, mexico, i'm i'm stuck well. That was a very satisfying lunch. Um did the maserati have a satisfying lunch as well? You can see it's all orange a lot of that stuff's been melted off now, it's not all gray and sludgy okay.

So now we drain it now we drain it get all that all that stuff is now in the oil. Now we have to drain and get that pulls it out of the engine. Oh, that was a flight labante. It was a wet lavante.

All right, we're gon na put it up i'll, be right back. Maybe we should have gotten italian instead yeah, i'm thinking i might need an oil change here, pretty quick, yeah yeah anyway. It was good, though, so i think a panel just fell off there and a panel needs to come off here. Yep that one yep i'll go get a tool cool.
I got ta go, i got ta go. I got ta go his turn all right. Well see. If i can find a drain plug on my own, well, wizard pulls his drain plug um.

I absolutely cannot. So. Where is the drain plug? Oh there, oh well, a light would have helped. Okay.

Doesn't that just drip right onto the yeah? I have a little green, funnel thing that we can use, but yes, it does on these. It just drips all over the frame. Well, that definitely seems like italian engineering right there. Doesn't it yes and i feel much better right now i had my bg flush very good.

That's your funnel looks like a big green leaf, something yeah all right, so that funnels the oil down to where it needs to go yeah. You put it up in here. Okay, nice, you have a little waterfall, it's going to be a chocolate. Waterfall.

Oh, was that you moments ago, oh yeah, it looks just like that too. We had mexican for lunch as, as you know, look how nasty it is. That definitely definitely was a good flush. Yeah, that is some dirty dirty oil.

Oh, my goodness. It kind of sounded that way too. Oh i'm not sure it did. Oh, no, oh well.

Hopefully that means that it's no longer inside the engine. Yes! Well, it's not it's right! Here! Look at the film! It left all that gunk yeah oil doesn't normally just leave a film on the funnel. Like that, no i need to clean out. You got got any charmin.

You got full uh yeah, two girl, one cups on the thing. Oh maserati, this is everywhere. Oh dear, oh, my goodness, oh it's on my glasses, well, you're, cleaner, but yeah. This kind of came to me.

While this was splashing all over the place. Every time, i'm at your house and your kid is watching blippi. This is all i see, we're sending people down a google rabbit hole right now that we really shouldn't wizard so yeah when blippi the child entertainer was a shock comedian before anyway, we're not going to talk about that uh. This is, is drained.

It's yep. This disgusting look at that. It leaves a trail. It's uh, not probably the worst one you've ever seen, but pretty bad huh yeah, it's pretty bad, all that was inside the engine.

That was really bad well. The metharati has left its mark on the floor and wizard. Now you need to put a filter in fresh oil huh fresh oil. Yes, now, let's see if i can find the filter on my own, i cannot it's up high yeah.

Is it right there just hidden in there once again, very italian, very italian, this isn't the kind of car you want to take to a jiffy, lube type place, huh, no they'll break all these lines, they'll break stuff, i'm picking on maserati a little bit, but serviceability Is definitely a secondary thought when it comes to engineering of pretty much all cars now, why make an oil change like this? Why put a bar in the way where the oil would drain and all this stuff that this car's a 2019? But it's all going to get fragile and be very breakable within 10 years and you're gon na snap, the end off of say that coolant expansion tanker it's like some electrical stuff. Okay, that's a dirty, dirty filter. There that's solid dirt, oh god, he's all dirty again. He's gone for his third flush.
The first was self-inflicted and the other two have just been from this maserati that still it's still squirting look at that still giving it what she's got. Oh, my goodness here that is sad, that's solid! That is the sludge mhm pulled. It all out of the engine, so i imagine that's the number one spot to catch it for from that detergent. The filter would catch it all yep, which is why you don't want to run the engine for more than 20 minutes.

After doing this, huh right, that's the smell too, that hurt still in there wow, okay, nasty. Isn't it what's the new filter? Look like oh, my wowza, and i have two types of oil. Today: okay, you want liquor, molly orchestral edge. Oh, this is gon na trigger an argument.

I don't i don't want to have an opinion and then have half the people hate me, because it's like worse than politics, talking about what oil type you prefer just pick one. I don't. I don't want to know which one just just pick one all right. Maybe i will reveal just because this oil says supercar on it got a supercar needs.

Supercar oil super car. It's a ferrari! Basically, we're cleaning up my stupidity from leaving the oil cap off in the first video. Now we can see, what's under this plastic too, which is just a lot of vacuum, and electrical ugliness yeah, but cool valve covers, though you don't see many cars having metal valve covers that are stamped out like that nope it looks like it belongs on a maserati From the 70s or the 80s or something that's cool, it really is cool. This is actually a california tea engine with two less cylinders: yeah, there's some people that say that, like the heads and things is like built by ferrari, but they say the bottom end, sort of like from a jeep wrangler or something the blocks sort of design.

I don't know, there's a lot of conjecture. I wish someone italian would tell us for sure. Well, the ferrari would have a flat plain crankshaft, this one's cross plane. So it's a it's a marriage of chrysler and maserati two cars known for their amazing reliability.

This build quality. This one's made a hundred thousand miles and still of neglect. Yes, yes, we do need to give the car credit for sure. Hopefully it likes this flush more than we liked our flushes yeah yeah yeah, that's a little bit of the sludge, the last of it all gone.

We hope. Hopefully they didn't just all send it into the like the little turbo lines or something like that and clog them up. No, i don't think it did well. One last little thing before i go: wizard was gon na reset the little wrench light right there and then add a little tire pressure, and then i have no lights, but he was going through uh to reset it and gives you the last service which, on this Car 8, 26 2020, when the oil was last reset, and that was at 65 000 miles.
So what was that 35 000 miles on an oil change? That's the longest oil change, i've ever heard of so pretty bad, but yeah, 21, 44 and 65. That was their oil change intervals on this car one owner clean repo drug runner. We have just made a discovery. It's now saying when he resets it that'll put the right date, but then you see the odometers in kilometers, so it's 166 772.

So a little over 100 thousand miles so that last one that was at sixty five thousand, that was at sixty five thousand kilometers, which is like forty fifty thousand miles from around in there. So really it's been sixty 000 miles, since it's had its last oil change. That explains why the oil filter looks like a piece of you know what we good yep she's, all full great. I guess there'll be more to do, there's a few little leaks and things and mm-hmm.

I definitely want to change the wheels because they're ruined and 19's look kind of small. They look weird your wife is 20s or so yeah got that trim piece as well, and then the smell needs to get out before it smells bad faster is too bad. So i guess i'll take it back down, not that i could take anything anyway because everything's broken, but the range rover - that's the one. Well, i basically have two unsellable suvs right now, because this one well, we now know the story on it and that's going to be a tough one to sugar coat.

I imagine already a hundred thousand mile maserati is gon na, be tough, then this one it has that suspension error code that just will not go away so you're still fighting that. Yes, there is actually one one that seems reasonably fixed enough that i can sell, because i have three luxury suvs right now, so i can get rid of one yes here it is my cleanest, most functional suv at the moment to the ml63, and since it's clean And functioning, i guess i should sell it. It did give me a little bit of a hard time, but over the last month i've been daily driving it. It's been flawless.

Now that's getting a little hot outside the ac feels a little weak, though so i'm going to drop it off the ninjas to have the ac topped off, but also uh, because the ferrari 355 is done. So i'm very excited about that. A little sad to see this one go, it is in very, very nice shape, unlike the other two cars. I know some of you emailed me before with interested i'll, try and get back to you, because now i am definitely ready to let this thing go or or am i i'm seeing double yellow look at the top all right.

No holes is always a good thing. Where are you going? You promised me all right, so, oh you need to test, drive the top to make sure it doesn't fall off. Yes, i i totally understand that yeah, let's go well. Ninja was saying: it's not entirely finished.
This top needs to sit out in the sun and bake and stretch before you put on one screw back there. Yes, a little bit of cleanup but no holes. How bad was it? Do you hate me? No, i hate mine. Mine was a pain to do yeah compared to this.

So you'll live. Oh yeah awesome! Well, i'm curious what you think: 360 versus 355.. I love it. So 360 was my old car 355.

The experience it offers it's so so so different, so old school and the noise. When you hear it a little bit, i love better than the flabby paddles. One thing i regret, i regret not doing is like i actually painted this one. Oh well, you know we can take it out.

It's just one dollar right here, that's just part of the patina of this car. We really appreciate you doing this. I know you're not upholstery guy, but i knew you had experience with yours, so right guy, so very good, very good! You didn't stash any drugs in this thing. Did you like maserati? Thank you for watching.

    When you first uploaded the video of this car, my first thoughts were the previous owner was either a rap singer or a drug dealer. LOL

    One rule of transit is the vehicle never stops in transit. The vehicle goes from point A to point B with two drivers alternating to keep going no matter what.

    Great Episode Tyler, can we get a Hoopty Fleet Update? I know sometimes it may feel like you've done a bunch of those already but I think your audience would devour the content all the same for lack of better phrasing lol ๐Ÿ˜† just a happy dude and his cars shenanigans, keep up the content man, you rock!

    I've said it before, I had a 2000 Tahoe with the "never change oil" option. You just had to add a quart a month to it…always fresh!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve L says:

    i will send u a product that will get rid of that smell. plz send me best address to deliver. hopefully it will neutralize the terrible odor in that car

    GM got in trouble for using Chevrolet valve covers on a Cadillac because the customer was SURE Cadillac could not have a Chevrolet engine in it OMG what if it had GMC truck engine in a Cadillac.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pattay's Performance says:

    Looks like a job for seafoam and royal purple. Wonder how many oil leaks he will spring if he flushes the motor to get rid of sludge and grime ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

    Car wizard gonna love it! Better get a picture of Pablo on his wall.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Dorsey says:

    But of course Wizard is excited to see Hoovie pull up… it means he's about to get paid, so he can go buy another mansion, boat, or camper! ๐Ÿ˜‚It could also be that he's just happy to see Hoovie, too, but I mean a payday makes everyone happy I guess.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Craig Schnagl says:

    I would have documented that it had drugs in it when you bought it. Imagine a traffic stop or an airport drop off in the future that has a K-9. And they find any amount stuck in a small crevasse. No documentation, limited legal defense. Police are a civil service we pay taxes for, don't feel guilty using them for legitimate reasons. That's just my opinion.

    For piece of mind, I would remove as much of the interior as possible (within reason), to make sure there are no additional stash spots.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chesspiece says:

    I don't know if I was the only one that commented that crack and meth has an ammonia or cat urine smell but I'm glad you got it figured out. I wonder if you turned the owner history over to the LEO so they could possibly monitor them if it wasn't repossessed because they got busted and sent to prison and stopped making payments.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HashMaster says:

    The price of it went down as soon as you bought it. Iโ€™ll be very surprised if you make any sort of profit on this POS. NOBODY buys these cars lol
