I've been a mechanic for almost 30 years and I cringe when I see people doing a flush like this. All that grit is going through your oil pickup and pump and all of your galleries. I've seen peoples oil pump pickup come out so clogged you cant even see the screen

This is truly unconventional..... May be a fast way to remove such slug,but certainly a fast destructive technique.

Which is the best way of removing sludge except using detergent like kerosene and engine flush

@Mrzeskittles froster I see that you don’t know shit about cars... 😂

Just change your oil and filter on time or little earlier, and also use high quality oil and filter, use the right type of oil grade, type and amount, as well as proper oil filter, and it will run good for long time.

Facts...

I'm pretty sure this is just a comedy skit...

I was thinking on the same line you are, probably would plug your engine.Someone wrote that your oil fries at 210°F.The newer cars oil viscosity keeps getting thinner, I used to run 20w-50 in the 400m Ford engines, when I changed the engine would also put a TRW high volume oil pump. I been working on some 80's model 351Windsor HO, getting ready to take one out a1985 E-250 that has 35,000 miles and don't want to turn over after a small fire by the mechanical fuel pump.Also have 1982 1 ton duelly with 1983 351W, I been looking for another small block to put in while I rebuild the 351W HO.Carbuerated, I found a 300-6 cylinder, not sure about it yet.Still looking.

Yup he sounds to gritty

Plus, this fucker in the video sounds like a clearance radio/voice over guy. Sounds like a robot.

And the guy sounded pretty smart and caring too..lol

Gotta say, you gave me a good laugh. You get a thumbs up from me.

It help things keep from rusting to lol

In older engines this is actually true. The sludge acts as a seal for all the bearings. That's why you should never clean out your oil like that or even with oil circuit cleaner in an older engine. There are also CONs for this in newer engines with VVT and things like that. As long as you have no problem, don't try it. The cleaner might release grit and sludge, which can go into your VVT solenoids or similar things and block them.

That is true. I have heard that with transmission Flushes. Only change what's in the pan. Ya don't wanna empty out a transmission of all or alot of it's fluid because all the new fluid with all it's detergents will clean all them old ass seals up & all those old ass clutchs out and pretty soon it's leaking & a slipin'. If ya go puttin a solvent in yer oil then YEP it's gonna clean the hell outta some seals & bearings. Not to mention help all the sludge & gunk travel thru the rest of your engine. But wtf do I know. I'm just am old Hellbilly. Hahaa

😁😂

Not sure if it was sarcasm but if Yes. I agree😂

@@theafrodzac 😆😅😂🤣

I've actually seen people do this, I know of a farmer that buys old Massey tractors like from 50s if engine is free first thing he'd do is add 50/50 oil to diesel the diffence is insane its like it makes the oil wetter and you wanna talk about bad looking oil he wouldn't run the engine just turn it over put a blow torch to pan from a distance. I'd never do it in my own Audi, my method is if there's thick gunky oil or extremely black I'd change the oil/filter once a month for 3 months and continue on every 4000, or 9 months.

You are right. I change mine every 5,000 and I use high quality oil and filter. Mine has never looked that dark and I don't get any of that other crap coming out of my engine either.

Exactly 5k miles still a golden honey color.

The Last Oil Change Jimmy Hoffa ever had!

How insulting.... Wyle E. Coyote was a genius!

5.3L chevy LS "vortec" engine will often go to 350,000 miles if maintained well. A good synthetic or high mileage oil has detergents and anti-foaming agents in then which will clean the carbonized oil "sludge" out of the engine over time. This idiot is putting and pumping kerosene into an engine that also supplies oil to the bearing in his turbo. This guy is an idiot and should not be listened to. If you want to mix something into your oil to help with sludge use a half quart of ATF (automatic transmission fluid). You don't need any special kind since I highly doubt you had an L33 aluminum block 5.3L. You're best off just using a quality oil filter and royal purple oil and change them regularly. I dont know what you drive now but if you want to keep it running good then dont try to lubricate the friction surfaces with a strong solvent like kerosene. Just an FYI. Gotta love those LS engine though.

Marvel Mystery oil. The mystery is - what is it good for? That's a joke. It's great stuff. I've used it on aircraft engines for years. I also don't have sludge in my engines. Sea Foam is the same stuff.

@@robertthomas5906 I don't know if Sea Foam is the " SAME STUFF " but they both work slowly & are more gentle on the engine. I've personally had better luck ? with Marvel especially for sticky lifters.

I use Risoline Products like that Upper cylinder and High Mileage

I add a quart of MMO to my engine after a new oil change. I don't believe having an extra quart in the crankcase of a 6 quart engine hurts anything. I change at 3000 miles. Never had a problem.

It is metal shavings from almost no lubrication with ketosine flush!

Kerosine

That's what I'm thinking.

Absolutely

Sea foam

😂 this video was a pop up in the feed but I came for the hilarious Replies and Your Sarcasm is on Point 🤣

Lmao funny as heelllll

No stupid, he should change the engine every 3,000 miles. Damn what’s wrong with you? 😜

Why not swap the entire engine ? Then change the oil on a daily basis. Think of all the gratitude you will receive from the oil companies?

But a new car, fill the old one with grit.

And it works quite well.

absolutely, my dad gave me his caravan with 125K miles on it, i knew he changed the oil like once a year so i assumed the engine might have a bit of sludge. ive been doing frequent oil changes with high mileage synthetic since then, now the car has 255K miles on it and engine is super clean inside....no engine flushes no kerosene or ATF just synthetic oil every 3K miles

True Well said

I use hand sanitizer to disinfect the inside of the engine

@@iliap1217 so do I I use pure alcohol to get rid of those pesky weeds near my exhaust AND keep the engine disinfected it's a win win in my opinion :)

@@DatBoiOrly I’d also take a nice leak in the gas tank. It’s sterile and adds a nice octane boost

@@jtyree0226 ahh a fellow connoisseur! I do the same when i run out of alcohol to put into my tank ;)

The most oil analysis ive ever done went to the extent of cutting the filter open and running a magnet through the drained oil... why would you send the oil off to a lab for an engine with 385,000 godamn miles on it in the first place tho? Yea a motor needs good oil to keep a truckin and will prevent it from killing itself but there are other things that can kill a motor that has had oil changes every time needed..

@@Z-Ack because I bought it new and have a record of the oil conditions throughout the engines life. The analysis includes the bearing metals so you can see which bearings are wearing the most by the amounts detected. For $20 it's worth it to me. Satisfies my curiosity.

​@@segarzawho do you use for analysis?

​@jerrygraves6531 can't remember off hand but I'll get back to you on it. I'm busy doing farm chores right now. BTW, the engine now has 450,000 miles on it.

​@@jerrygraves6531oil analyzers Inc. Is who I used.

All very true!

So kerosene is pretty caustic but then you say it's rich in fatty properties? Go take a crank seal and put it in a bucket of kerosene and look at it a year later and you will see no deterioration.

@@William1866 Kerosene is a similar ph to petrol.

Petrol is neither an acid nor is it a base. pH applies to water solutions and Petrol does not dissolve in water, therefore, petrol cannot be classified as either.

this has been done since the 50's, it does work but you have to not be silly. why way back in the 50's+? cuz motor oil used to not have alot of detergents in them.

Thanks I want to clean old transmission oil I have been storing up about 4 gallons cleaning out my transmissions ,,,,I will try that after coffee fillers first if you use many of them I guess will be best seeing it's a clean filter and don't break down ,,,,on oil I drop the pan these no gaskets there no waiting time I got 285 thousand on a 4 ,,,and it don't like to be run cold ,,,got a block waiting so I'm going to clean the pan and screen on pump it a gear that old and the cam is going so I'm sticking with a little love on the old one

But that seems more sane.Dilluting the oil just makes more sense. You are atleast providing protection. But pure kerosine seems like a horrible idea to me.

😂that's the instructions on the bottle🤦‍♂️

Now they have you take samples of all fluids to a lab for analysis and then they tell you if it needs to be changed or any other enomolies. Yes I totally agree about the trans fluid. Its highly detergenated and completely safe. Its also a great way to break in a new motor. ( I learned alot from my father who was one of the best mechanics ever. Also trained & worked 63S USA.) For the skeptics about women mechanics. 😀

Your. Stupid

We do it to all our fleet of semis during the last 100 miles or so. It’s cheaper and way more effective than most products and safer. Auto tranny fluid is the best. We also use a mix of tranny fluid and paint thinner as a rust penetrate for bolts and screws.

@@jessegonzalez2058 If you're going to call someone stupid. At least use the proper "you're", dipshit.

We would do that also to pass emission testing.

And what if he just got the car, and it’s oil is disgusting (like this) and you suspect that sludge may be in the oil galleries and the cam phasers and actuators ? Then as long as the engine doesn’t start, there’s really no pressure on the crank bearing and only valve spring pressure (indirectly) on the cam bearings. The vast majority, even of quality mechanics are simply NOT going to pull apart the entire engine to try and save a cheap car, but this might do it. There are lots and lots of cars that already weren’t taken care of, too late to lecture about timely oil changes for those cars.

Buck Beach if it was it must have been a hard 3,000 miles

Well the oil was from an Audi which are known for oil consumption and piston ring failure, what do you expect.

Buck Beach I thought same... i had like a 10 thousand miles... Dark brown not black like this one.

I'd say higher than that since the guy said he uses "synthetic oil" I use royal purple oil and filter, and only change my oil around 12,000 miles and it's NEVER looked that bad.... and the shit starts out purple to begin with

I service them all audis, and be a are by far the darker of the oil spectrum aside from a WAY older vehicle that has known blow by.

Jaber Jaber what works is adding a quart of diesel to the oil and running the engine

Jaber Jaber eeemmm thats not how any of this work, to get the grit out of the engine u have to remove oil pan, lucky my audi has a very simple oil pan and does not need a front axel to be removed like most cars do.

Jaber Jaber kerosene does not have lubricating properties and can easily cause bearings to spin an cause wear to engine parts

Jaber Jaber , use marvel mystery oil. put one qt when your oil level goes down one. Drive with mmo for a couple of days then change oil and filter. Does a good job plus it removes varnish from the rings. Your engine will run smoother and regain its power.

Jaber Jaber : Thanx for a good idea!

I agree with most of what you said. But IMO i would not want to run an engine with ATF in the oil, for any longer than 15 to 30 seconds, if even that long. Then I'd drain the oil, change the filter, and refill with some cheap oil to do a "rinse" and run the engine for 15 - 20 minutes. And drain and refill for good, after that. I just have a problem with running the engine with ATF or other solvents in the oil, it seems very counter-productive.

"Look at this sludge" holding up fragments of big end bearing lmao. dear god no one ever do this.

@@AskAboutMyZombiePlan I think they were ring fragments but yeah, more steel in the case then in the engine. That engine has got to be toast by now.

I'm no mechanic but I cringed at the kerosene. But he is worried about his engine oil being dirty and goes through the whole process and then before replacing the oil he puts a fram filter on it. WHAT?! Fram? Its barely even a filter. No wonder why you have sludge in your car because you're basically not using a filter at all. For those that use Fram, crack one open and see what's inside. Geez.

Fram is the crappiest filter on the market

Anything but that "Fram" filter, I believe by far, that's the worse oil filter on the market. I certainly won't use it, it's low quality at It's best.

Jeremy Cole lol...right?! 😲

Jeremy Cole specially on a damn Audi.

Best April fools joke ever!

Jeremy lmao I said the same thing

Good decision. Just reading through these comments I've read like 25 good reasons why this is a terrible idea the one that popped up my head immediately is the effect of kerosene on rubber seals I mean any type of solvent on rubber is a terrible idea.

Jonathan Crumley He should've removed the plugs.

seen a guy lockup his motor doing that "sounds good method".

Not really, I rebuilt starters for a while and in my experience it was the long cranking that over heated the starter due to heat cause the persons car would not start, or just old age

Randizle Peregoy i agree. Had put in a new started on a old 4cyl wagon and one day flooded steets got water got on the ignition system since i was missing splash shields and cause the engine to die out and i tried to start the engine over and over again since i was in a bad spot trying to get it started. Held the starter on for about 10 sec each attempt. Eventually draining the battery. Ever since then, the starter acts funny from time to time by not activating when the key is turned.

Gabriel Pla Clean the connections from the battery and from the ignition switch.

RIP VANOS.

Yes

Depending on how the oil system works

Good idea!

Magnetic drain plug for modern engines doesn't do much since blocks are made from mostly aluminum these days meaning nothing is magnetic to begin with. When iron blocks were common, yes, using a magnetic drain plug would help.

@Lwnmwrboy5 it's not the blocks that the magnetic drain plugs are used for. It's to collect bearing material which is in every block not matter what it is cast from. And all bearings wear over time not matter how well you take care of the engine.

Years ago that was common, much better noe

Sorry but that's not entirely true it's machine before they put it together if the flakes went down inside their that is the intake side of the oil it can't get through the filter do your homework

Yea exactly..slacking Mexican and Chinese workers and QC

I worked at the oil filter company making oil filters when their employees went on strike. There are not metal contamination inside bran new USA oil filters. They are made with pistons and lubricants sprayed on them threw the entire process so no metal fragments are inside oil filters!

Dafuq,why transmission oil?

Seadweller451D Also poor crank case ventilation.

@@Dr.Westside yup and that oil cap is a recall. The new audi one is vented and has an orange logo

I think the filter will catch the metal just fine.

@@guidedbygreen1480 Unless the filter goes in to bypass which actually happens more often than most people realise

Of course, but what if you just got the car. This is for when that wasn’t done.

TheChemist187 very true trans oil its really aggresive too and well

TheChemist187 I been doing that for year. A qort (nope I can't spell) of ATF about 100 miles before an oil change. I've ran a 3.9 Dakota with 4 qorts of GTX 10W-30 and 1 qort of ATF for four years. Only way I wasn't adding a qort at every red light lol! I've never had one issue. And Lord did I drive that Dakota lol.

Yup if I know my oil is starting to get bad. I put 1 quart of transmition oil to 4 quarts of oil. Run it for 3,000 miles. Always a succes on cleaning up engine.

TheChemist187 I use 50/50 mixture of transmission and engine oil... And using petrol will dry out the oil seals

Atf is a 5w20 base oil with a ton of additives and detergent. Has a ton more film strength than kerosene.
