This is part 1 of what happens when you do not change your oil. This car is only 3 years old and has 135k miles on it.

UreaSmith no... excactly the opposite. oil doesnt get nearly as hot in a diesel.. thats why diesel oil change intervalls are much longer.

@Clearanceman2 9 жыл бұрын

UreaSmith It is, but it probably has the same wear as a well maintained engine with 500K miles. Even after this, the engine's days are numbered. Not changing the oil has done a lot of extra wear.

Well, at least the owner knows the oil needs to be changed EVENTUALLY. I had a neighbor who never got her car checked for oil or radiator water or anything else when getting serviced at the gas station. All she did was fill up the tank with fuel and that was it. Needless to say her car didn't last very long and she had to buy another one because hers was beyond repairs.

The cheapest and best way to fix that would be to replace the engine with a low mile used unit. The current engine would have to be completely torn down and hot tanked to clean all the internal oil passages. The cleaning shown here is only half of the picture.

From one Technician to another, I felt for you during this video. I know how it is to recommend an engine replacement in a situation like this and to be told you'll do some obnoxious other work that is a band-aid and doesn't address all or even most of the problem. I felt your pain and admired your determination to do the work on cleaning off the head to the absolute best of your abilities even though it was ridiculous that the work was even being done.

Kia recommends oil changes at 7,500 mile intervals for dino oil. At $27 per change, he'd have spent $486 to have his oil changed on time. From the looks of it, just the labor for this clean out was twice that, and the bearings and rings are likely looser than a $2 hooker and the engine probably needs a full rebuild.

basically, it's clean, and oil drips from it instead of forming some sort of sticky sludge that you have to scrape of, even a 20yr old car will look like that if the oil is changed regularly, there might be some small amounts of sludge in the oil pan thou, but that's easy to get rid of and is usually only done when the pan seal is replaced

+Colin Donovan The owner of the shop who maintains my car (yes, I follow the brand's schedule for oil changes, thank you!) sometimes has idle talk with me on very slow days. He said the worst day on the job was a guy who brought in a nice-looking car. The engine condition was very similar to this. His mechanics were reeling in shock and asked why he never changed it. He said "Oh, but doesn't it say here: every 100,000 miles." How the freak can the car even be running? Wouldn't it be seized up a loooong time ago? They had to do the same thing: completely take the main block apart and clean it out. Took all day and through the next morning, of course.

I won't say that is recommended to torture people on public for unknowledge about technical stuff. But if a person owns a car it should even know the basics about the technical functions and needs for maintenance -.-''. But this is actually a 'todays phenomena' that many people are using machines without any knowledge and/or without any hint about the technical background. Don't get me wrong, nobody has to become an engineer because own a car, but knowing the general basics isn't just only a cheaper thing, it is also a thing of responsability!

It currently has 168188 k and when I bought it used October 17, 2014 it had 150k miles. If I had mad money I would have the entire body done just to make it look newer. All in all, I have a very deep attachment to my little baby and I treat it with love and care. Thumbs up to all drivers who love and care for their vehicles!
