A MECHANIC with 55 years experience has revealed how you can save hundreds when running the air con in your car.<\/p>\n

Scotty Kilmer, who has more than 55 years experience, urged drivers to be aware of how to get the most out of their\u00a0vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The\u00a0motors whizz\u00a0boasts nearly 6 million subscribers on\u00a0YouTube\u00a0and often hands out valuable tips and advice to fellow motor enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

In a video uploaded to his channel, Scotty explained the reasoning behind his latest piece of advice.<\/p>\n

He explained to viewers that there was a proper way to run air con and save stacks of cash.<\/p>\n

Scotty said that it is better for your motor to use the air recirculation button while running the air con.<\/p>\n

Ferrari owner blasted for parking his \u00a3250k motor in a cop-only spot at beach<\/h3>\n

The experienced mechanic said: "It is better to use the air recirculation button.<\/p>\n

"This is because if you are using air con and have fresh air, all the hot air will come into your car and cooling it down will take more energy.<\/p>\n

"It will also wear everything out faster."<\/p>\n

Scotty continued: "But if you put it on recirculation, once it gets cool, it takes the cool air you're already breathing and cools down air that isn't 100 degrees.<\/p>\n

"This is far more efficient and makes the refreshing cool air last longer."<\/p>\n

The motors whizz says that it's also important to remember that most cars are not hermetically sealed.<\/p>\n

Scotty added: "If you had a car that was perfectly sealed you wouldn't run it on recirc all the time you'd have carbon dioxide from you breathing out inside."<\/p>\n

The experienced mechanic also warned any car owners that the recirculation function is not a "carbon dioxide scrubber".<\/p>\n

This means that those who have more well-sealed cars should not be afraid to crack the window open a tiny bit.<\/p>\n

However, Scotty did reiterate that the threat of carbon dioxide is unlikely because "hardly any cars are perfectly sealed".<\/p>\n

Despite being posted less than 24 hours ago, Scotty's new video has already racked up over 66,000 views.<\/p>\n

Other advice he has offered in his latest videos include highlighting a common and costly mistake drivers often make when running their\u00a0petrol tanks low.<\/p>\n

Scotty has also\u00a0recommended five cars\u00a0to buy for less than \u00a34,000 each – including Toyota Corollas and Camrys and\u00a0Honda\u00a0Accords and Civics.<\/p>\n

And he urged motorists to carry out\u00a0a crucial check\u00a0on a key component of their car's engine to avoid having to pay hundreds of pounds for a new one.<\/p>\n
