When I was stationed in Guam, a friend of mine went somewhere for two weeks. He let me drive his Toyota, I forget which model. When he got back, I gave him his key and didn't hear from him for about three days. When I saw him, he said, "What did you do to my car? It runs so much better!" I said I just drove it normally. I reved it when driving it. He did tell me that he bought it from an old granny. He said it didn't have much power until I drove it for two weeks. LOL

If there is carbon build up inside the flux capacitor, you may not be able to time travel. So it is important to clean the carbon build-up.

@ShepherdsSheepdog 6 күн бұрын

That's a myth. ACKSHUALLY, the carbon deposits will only slightly alter the "time distance" traveled. UNLESS, the build up is really bad, which might then cause the "pendulum effect". That's a real problem as you uncontrollably swing further back and further forward in time - over and over again. One theory is that just such an occurrence led to such a concentration of temporal energy that it actually CAUSED the Big Bang.

I don't do it often but I do spray my 2 2005 Corolla engine compartments occasionally. It is a pressure sprayer but I hold it high in the air. I do not use the soap selection and I only use the rinse... I might spray a little degreaser down where you see the oil filter but I change my own oil and I usually leave that area clean anyway. I live in Nevada so it is mostly dust under the hood. I am of the belief that a dusty dirty engine and mean dust and dirty will be headed right into the breather intake making your air filter dirtier sooner.. I have never had my cars not start after a rinse of the engine compartment...

I wish this video had come out a week ago. Listen to Scotty here and don't flush your engine if you have more modern car, especially if you have high miles. Last Wednesday I put motor flush in my 2009 Genesis with 190k miles on it and now it's running terrible, misfiring and backfiring as I give it gas. It also makes a sort of "wub wub wub" sound (almost like an exhaust leak) similar to an 83 Olds Cutlass I had as a teen in the 90s which was running on 7 cylinders. Shortly after I bought my Genesis in January, I found it was burning about a quart of oil every five hundred miles and I had put some ring seal in it, which helped a little. Now, just after flushing the engine and driving it for around fifty miles, the oil has already gone down a quart with zero external leaks to be seen. It seems my number three cylinder has a leak somewhere, evidenced by the fact I can see oil on the spark plug when removing it (plus the P0303 code it's throwing).

Aircraft used water to cool the air charge to get more power. It also lessened detonation. Looking through the spark plug hole doesn't show the carbon built up on the intake side of the valves. Maybe if you can look at 90 degrees and turn the engine. EGR is the main problem for carbon.

I like to start the engine just before rinsing. Reasons; 1) If the water causes any kind of hesitation or stalling, I know to keep water away from that area. 2) The engine will heat up while rinsing. I am done rinsing before it gets to operating temperature. That is my goal to keep running it after rinsing is done. So it will dry from heat and I know once dry and still running that water didn’t cause any problems. The inside is more important but the outside will need some cleaning as well…

There actually is one more disadvantage to cleaning an engine with water and that is it very hard on catalytic converters. It could even ruin them and that is usually a small fortune to get them them replced. I wont do any of it. It is better to just get the engine warmed up and run it a 3000 or more rpms for a couple of miles. Do that about every 1000 miles . And also ask yourself the question "does my manual recommend oil flushing". No it does not. I don't put anything other than the recommended engine oil of my vehicle. You don't need a solvent and using one does more harm than good. Just keep clean oil in the oil system of your vehicle and that's it...

Do u know how to remove oil stains from engine internals from bad oil changes?

What about if it has sludge ? What would you do then ?

@Jeff_Seely 5 күн бұрын

I would pick a good synthetic oil of the proper weight and I would change it every 5000 miles. Do you have a owners manual for your vehicle? Buy one and do what it recommends and don't overthink oil changes. But you don't need these engine flushing detergents such as Seafoam and Marvels mystery oil. I have had many engines last over 400k miles just doing what the manual indicates.

@@Jeff_Seely my owners manual says to change oil every 30,000km. thats what caused oil stains on the engine (orangy/yellowish color) when u look down the oil filler cap

Are you sure you don't have a coolant leak into the oil system of your vehicle? Look, you can do whatever you'd like. You can flush it with a solvent of your choice, but it sounds like you have a different problem. How do the spark plugs look? If you don't work on your car, my advice is to have a mechanic look around. But what I do know is that nobody knows your engine better than the manufacturer and there may be some exceptions. But generally, if you follow their advice on maintenance, you are doing what you should be doing. Good luck. I would like to help but there's not much I can do other than say what I have already said.

I used to flush the engines after taking used cars home , luckily I didn’t have any problem.

Sadly, I may have destroyed my engine on Wednesday by flushing the motor. It had a small internal leak already, and I think the flush must have destroyed or dislodged a valve stem seal on cylinder three. It went from burning a quart of oil every 500 to 700 miles to going down one quart in less than fifty after flushing it.

@@JacobPaul-ix7oc Try changing the oil and filter to get rid of any trace of the flush and then running the car in your normal manner... Are you getting smoke out the tailpipe...(possibly stem seal ) or no smoke is it leaking past external seals????

In the 70's an old mechanic told me about a "Bon Ami Cocktail", it worket on old carb engines to clean carbon and hone old rings. That worked great but I wouldn't try that on these newer fuel injection systems!

why do you disconnect the NEGATIVE battery terminal - what if you touch that terminal to any bare metal part - wouldn't this complete the circuit and it would be like it was actually connected and connect the circuit?? Why wouldn't you disconnect the POSITIVE terminal ??

@JohnSmith-pl2bk 6 күн бұрын

The negative or ground terminal is at 0 voltage. The positive terminal is at 12VDC. Touching the negative terminal against anything is harmless. But leaving the negative terminal attached means that the circuit is complete anytime any part of any circuit "bridges" between the "hot" 12VDC and any metal part of the car i.e. "goes to ground". If the negative terminal is not connected...there is no ground! No spitz und sparken und poof!
