Cut open Last filter change [Ac/delco PF61e] was normal / alittle dirty [ light.dark amble color] using Pennzoil ultra platinum.

In middle of refreshing ( defacto rebuild actually ) my saab turbo engine ~120,000miles. Hobby car more than anything, as to the Why . The ENTIRE innards of my engine is heavily carbonned, like your illustrated area. I have owned this car for 20+ years and have Religiously changed oil/filters at 3,000miles . A dog's breakfast of oil types, mostly semi synths, but always of National brands. The lifters were siezed with carbon deposits in their check valves. Piston tops were barely carbonned .. but the Piston ring lands were So carbon packed I had to chisel out the hard as a rock carbon. All oil rings were cemented in place. Pistons once cleaned, are Pristine, No marks /scuffs anywhere. Bores are mercifully unmarked Sump had a heavy layer of carbon grains.. Black aquarium sand as visual reference. The oil pickup /strainer was half clogged with carbon lumps. Oil pump is virtually as new No scorings or wear.. surprisingly. Cam sprockets (dohc) were totally black, as was the entire chains area. . ALL of this was a complete surprise, as the engine ran without fault.. Never using oil, or smoking, or making any noises it shouldn't.. Only plausible apparent reason was that the engine ran Hot .. hot enough to bake, then carbonise any and all oils that were splashed about. Starting to believe that My engine brand /type is V poor at heat disipation .. causing any and all oils splashed about to be cooked by the too hot engine surfaces. As most available images of my engine brand feature suspiciously similar black innards.

thanks for this comment. I'd love to see photos if you don't mind sending to facebook.com/drivingintelligence - here are my thoughts: first, I would only use fully synthetic oils in a turbo engine because of the heat you mention. Conventional oils don't hold up to high heat. Second, how many total miles and are you the original owner? Similar to me, I don't know the maintenance history of my truck during it's first 165k miles. I know the transmission had never been serviced. Options: run a cooler thermostat for the cooling system and install an oil cooler. Please stay in touch.

@@DrivingIntelligence As above; 120k miles... I bought the car (Saab )with 40K miles. Engine was initially designed in '84. Unlikely with Any Synth requirement Or consideration. Zero heat damages issues in the turbo, having disassembled it for a reseal and rebearing. Neither of which it actually revealed itself to need. Engine is was on a 160 D stat, My choice since the outset of my tenure. Yess synths with their 20 d higher temp capability may have made a difference. Lot of Carboned oil for a 20 d difference though.

I recommend that you do used oil analyses. Speediagnostics is a good company to use. Also, I recommend that you run total fuel system cleaners containing PAE every 3,000 miles to address ignition gases that may be getting by the piston rings (blowby). Don't forget to check or change the PCV valve. A bad PCV valve will cause issues in your crankcase too.

I might be a little nervous as well. I've learned over the years that even stretching to 7,500 miles between oil changes is too much. Especially if you only do short trips around the city. Engine does not have enough time to get up to full operating temperature. How's your vehicle running? Oil consumption?

Most miles are from road trips like driving from Seattle to Florida ( 150 bucks in Gas total for that trip).

@johac7637 24 күн бұрын

Did a career in engine shops, this is pure lack of oil changes, partly higher engine temps, they attract the contaminants that saturated oil are carrying. Change at 1/2 recommended intervals. I've bought oil in 5 gallon buckets when on sale with rebates, change it often, my hard working 04 Duramax just turned 400K Miles, still haven't pulled a black drain, never needed to add, on some hard 5k intervals, it's been down a tad, so it shows that it's been doing its job, soaking up the contamination. But never diesel black. Yes I've done a front seal, water pump, swapped out injectors, I should go see how many gallons of fuel, how many hrs on engine, the DTC has that all logged. It's only ever had, Delo, Rottella, Valvoline Cummins Blue, only the best. Whatever the deals were on

If you read some of my other commenters, who are also engine builders, they noted this is normal in areas where no oil gets to internal parts of the engine.

@@DrivingIntelligence I think you saw the results of changing your oil, look in your operators manual, you're probably going to notice you are over changing, or you dealer would tell you that. I change more often in her weather, dusty operating conditions, heavy pulling, hilly travels. The new mantra is, cost per mile of operation on advertising, this the long change intervals, it's not rewarding million mile owners, cars, ask the fleet owners, they change oils, antifreezes, do their strip tests on antifreezes, they then know the freight rolls, it's not in shops, parked broken. I told a fellow to change his oil in a Mercedes truck engine " I just drive in the city, deliver to loading docks, truck doesn't work,", that when to change more often, " it's a new engine, 50k miles, I add a bit of oil between changes" " your adding because your oil additives are spent, change your oil", now after loosing a $100 bet , " I'll bet you $100 , your oil will stay at the full for 10K Miles if you change it at 10K Miles, " John, I never need to add oil now, I changed, and it quit using oil, now I changed every 10-12 K like you said, winter i did it at 10, summer will be between 10-12, oil isn't crazy black now either.

@GainingDespair 23 күн бұрын

It could be R&P but my gut feeling is telling me the oil gets more flows where it is clean, maybe the flow of oil prevents build up there where as the parts above and further to the side get less resulting in some carbon. I know when removing a valve cover it's not uncommon to see light build up or even varnish on the sides of the motor which receive less oil flow. Even valve covers don't get a ton of oil on them and they have build up. So going on 100% gut feeling I wanna say oil flow is the cause of less build up, it could be R&P but if so why is it only the areas which get oil flow which remain clean/cleaner.

@DrivingIntelligence 22 күн бұрын

I've only been running the R&P for about 3k miles. So I'm sure the build-up is not from R&P. I think you're correct about the oil streaming down from the crank and cleaning the crank caps. When I changed my timing chains before using R&P, my heads and valve train were spotless. No build-up at all.
