Looking inside an engine during cold start (-30 degrees)

The true unsung champion here is the battery A round of applause for the battery ladies and gents

Can we just appreciate the fact that he never clickbait us?

This is the correct cold start procedure listed in most owners manuals. Pump pedal to flood engine, crank cold engine until starter motor starts to smoke. If engine actually starts, put foot to floor so your windows defrost as quickly as possible. Don't forget to never change the oil!

I love the spirits of this seemingly russian (?) mechanics YT channel. No stupid product placement, no VPN BS, just passion and the will to share stuffs.

"This thing is completely frozen over" Red-lines it

Thanks for listening to us Vlad. Speaks highly of your character.

It would have been nice to see synthetic oil versus regular motor oil instead of mineral oil

I was weeping for this poor old Lada wagon. Watching them cranking it with the engine oil as thick as molasses would give any mechanic heart palpitations.

Can we all just appreciate the battery and the starter during the cold-start? I salute you.

I love the art of the voiceover, how he's obligated to make distinctly different voices for different people. It's hilarious

Dude. You’re a riot. I loved that attempt. I’m from northern Minnesota and we get temperatures down to -40 F. and I often though about my oil as thick as honey. Engine heaters are a must here.

I remember watching my grandfather build a small fire under the oil pan of his farm tractor, during cold weather in Wisconsin. I've used an electric heat tape and an old Army blanket to warm up the engine on my wood splitter in the winter. When it's 25 degrees (F) below zero outside, it would have to be an emergency if I had to start up my truck to go anywhere. I'm retired. Better to wait for the temperature to rise a bit. Same with a blizzard, better to hunker down and wait until it's over to venture anywhere. Good job showing what happens inside an engine during cold weather.

Car: doesn’t start Vlad: “You call yourself a Lada?!?” Car: “How dare you sir.” VROOM

I love this, it reminds me from America that no matter the geographical differences or the differences our leaders try to make us believe. We are all the same. We have our hobbies and our curiosities all the same! Love From the United States!

Great work from Garage 54 Russia. Ingenious plastic valve and sump cover. Thanks for going to all this trouble. Tom from New Zealand.

When I was doing engine development work 20+ years ago, we did cold starts at -40°. As soon as it fired, it was put on the governor. Sometimes it was only running on a couple of cylinders, and it might take a while for all of the cylinders to fire. I was working on a new lubrication system at one point, and the oil pressure spiked to 400psi and put the oil filter cannister onto the floor. Strings of oil were dangling from the filter head, and there was a PILE of oil on the floor.

The translator is probably a cool guy but he's cracking me up because he translates with the same cadence as Kermit the Frog.

Car: im old and getting a bit tired Owner: your going to the garage Car: yay! Owner: its vlad from garage 54 Car: oh crap....

Thank you for doing this. I've often wondered and had to visualize what it would be like. So cool👍

As a Canadian I can appreciate this based on our winters, -24 to -36 C is typical here also. Thank you for doing this video and also thank you for translating into English audio.
