This might be the end of the series!!😮😮 ...
I neglected to mention the details of the treatment at the beginning of the episode:
Remove sparkplugs, add Berryman's B-12 to each cylinder, rotate engine 5 times every 6 hours for 24 hours (I added a splash of B-12 each time). After 24 hours, drive car at 60 mph for 20 minutes. Change oil and filter. Test oil use.

I contacted Berryman's because I couldn't find B12 anywhere, including Walmazon. They sent me a case of 12 free of charge. They also corrected the sitch where Walmart was continually out of it. Berryman's Corporate rocks!

No that one cylinder was too clean. Even an engine that doesn’t burn oil will have carbon deposits on the top of the piston. It’s a bad head gasket when a cylinder and piston are that clean on an engine with any appreciable mileage.

The experiment likely unstuck the oil control rings and allowed them to expand and do their job. The hint may have been the increased friction you felt when initially turning the engine over by hand. You didn't make a big insurance nightmare of the broken taillight. Thanks for being such a good human.

Hey Ben I also have a Tacoma at 350k miles and it burns oil also I have my b12 ready to go but have just been waiting for the right time to do this, cuz it’s my daily driver. Out of curiosity how much b12 did you use per cylinder? I know that Berrymans recommended more b12 in V shaped engines. Also did you drive it around with the b12 in the oil or do an oil change immediately? I know some people let it drain and add more oil. I know Kilmer has recommended to be careful running vvti engines with oil additives due to clogging the solenoids and filters. Thanks for your input!

I changed the oil immediately after to be careful, did the 20 miles at high rpm's, then changed the oil again. I've driven about 5000 miles and have had no noticeable oil loss, so I'm pretty impressed with the results.

Fantastic video. My 2012 Audi Q5 2.0L turbo was burning 1 quart of syn 5w-30 oil every 400 miles and the vehicle only had 65k miles on it! Had a shop check the turbo and that wasn't the problem. The fix was similar to yours... and due entirely to your video: Process: Removed spark plugs and drained oil, added B12 to each cylinder, let it sit for a day (and frequently topped off), boroscoped (plenty of carbon on the piston head and could see oil on the cylinder walls at first), hand turned the engine 90 degrees, repeated the process once a day over a 4 day period. Drained the engine of B12 and replaced with fresh oil and filter. B12 fluid was jet black. Drove the vehicle 25 miles on fresh oil. Smoke was incredible. I'm sure folks thought the car was on fire! Drained and replaced the oil again and replaced the filter. Yup, again oil was jet black. End result: The car now has over 3500 miles on it since the second flush (3rd fill) and it's used less than 1/2 a quart of oil. Fantastic. Cost from beginning to end: One gallon of B12, 3 oil changes (original + 2 more) and 3 filters (original filter + 2more). Cheap and very effective fix. Piston heads clean and apparently so are the ports on the bottom scraper ring that were likely causing the problem. Thanks again!!👍👍👌

I have done the same thing many times with my customers vehicles that failed the state required smog test. It has worked every time. I have no idea how much oil consumption has changed, since I never see most of these customers again. From what I can tell, the oil control rings just get gummed up, and fail to work properly. This condition is mainly found with old ladies who drive very slowly around town, and never run on the freeway for very long. I usually just send the Barryman's in as a top engine cleaner, as it is quicker in commercial operation. I have rarely done a full soak, and when I did, I relubricated the upper cylinder with engine oil before starting the engine. I thought you might have hurt the cylinders with a dry start, however, after seeing your after-actin shots, I can clearly see a beautiful cross hatch pattern!!! Most Excellent!!! From what I can see of your oil pattern on the piston heads, I would say that you need some valve stem seals, or perhaps new valve guides, when doing your next valve job. I think your bottom end is good to go!!! Try using some ATF in the engine oil, 500 miles before your next oil change. ATF also cleans piston rings, as ATF has lots of detergents that help removing such things. ATF also makes a great engine flush, but I always fear flushing an unfamiliar engine, as the ATF treatment removes a lot of internal engine gunk and might plug the oil intake screen to the oil pump. That's why I recommend using ATF to top off before the next oil change, as you use less than a quart, and change it before too many miles have accumulated. Proper oil change intervals never require flushes!!! If I slip and go beyond 5,000 miles, the next oil change is done early, at about 2,500 miles, to insure maximum cleaning action from the fresh oil change. I have never let any engine run past 10,000 miles!!! I don't care what the oil or engine manufacturer says!!! I can afford oil and filter, every 5K miles, but an engine rebuild is going to be a bit much for me, at my age, So I take care of basic maintenance, and don't have issues!!! My 2002 Tacoma has 165,000 miles, and still has 170 PSI per cylinder with 5% max cylinder leak down. So, I think good maintenance pays!!! Now if I could just get my IAC's (Idle Air Control) to last that long, as I am on my second one @ $245.00 dollars for an OEM part!!! The only real complaint I have on the 2.4L engine. Good work on your test. A good test is worth 10,000 expert opinions!!! LOL!!! Tim

I had an S10.PICKUP that I put in a 350 with a automatic in it , as a service truck the 4th engine got almost 600 000 miles on it when I removed it to freshen it up. So I took it all apart and took all the pieces to my racing machine shop , everything was within spec and they freaked out on how clean it was , I took it home and freshened it up as planned. It ended up on the drag strip and it won king of the track and king of the hill titles , I used Mobil one and wix filters and oil changes at 20,000miles or when the first quart is used, my current trucks have almost 400,000 miles and I've owned it 23years now the other has 3oo ooo ,I've had it 10yrs now I do the same oil changes with Mobil one and wix.

An old mechanic told me to put a quart of kerosene in the oil and drive it around for a while. He was old at the time, and I was about 16 years old, and now am 75, so you can tell that his knowledge was very old. My old junker had a 292 v8, and the return passages in the heads were clogged, making it a true smoker. I did it, and the next day, when I took off the valve covers, I had a super clean head! I drove that clunker for another five years or so, and it never burned oil again.

I did this on a 1.6 Kia engine. Loosely thread the sparkplugs back in, to stop foreign contamination and evaporation. Don't start the engine with the oil contaminated with Berryman's - it puts the bearings at risk. Dump the oil and change the filter before starting. Fog the cylinders with light machine oil before putting the sparkplugs back in. The engine doesn't want to start because the cylinders are dry, causing a loss of compression. This resolved the oil consumption issues in the Kia.

Great video, Ben! Nothing beats B-12! My classic '89 Toyota Camry sat for the last 4 months through the winter waiting for its new Collector's Plate to arrive, and when I finally started it back up, it was running rough as all getout with carbon poofing out of the exhaust pipe every time it missed and stuttered. The car had just under 1/4 tank of gas out of the 15.9 gallons it can hold in it, so it was the perfect time to head on down to O'Reilly's to grab the last 3 cans of Berryman's on their shelf (which was exactly how many I needed for the trick I was about to pull off). Total cost: 20 bucks. Here's what happened: O'Reilly's is 2 blocks from our home. My plan was to go there first, grab the B-12 I'd need to do the job, then continue up HWY 99 at a steady 45 MPH to get the shopping done. 2 cans went into the tank immediately, the rear bumper was bounced for around a minute or so to get it mixed in thoroughly with the 3[ish] gallons left in the tank, and we were on our way. Naturally, it ran like complete crap missing and stuttering and farting carbon for most of the 3 miles it took to get there (I could see the poofs of black smoke in the rearview mirror), but 2 blocks from the store it started to even out some. After we finished shopping and headed back home, it surged a little at first then smoothed right out and ran like a champ. I plan to run it like this until the fuel warning light pops on, at which point I'll add the last can of Chemtool and top the tank off. After that, it'll be good to go again! =D

A few years ago I had a 1996 Ranger pickup with 200K miles on the 2.3L 4cyl and it burned oil but had no leaks. Never saw smoke but I could smell it and I was putting a quart of oil in it every 1000 miles. After doing my first oil change it used another quart after 1000 miles, so I put in a can of Rislone smoke stop and topped off the oil level. After that it barely used half a quart by the time I was changing oil again at 4000 miles. Sadly it was so rusted out after being in Minnesota all its life I had to scrap it.

This worked perfectly for me on a 2006 Rav4 with the 2AZ-FE engine 118k miles Historically this engine used about 1 Qt in around 300-400 miles since about 90k miles, last year I followed the same process as below but used seafoam (per one of your videos too) instead of B12, this gave me 500-600 miles per 1 Qt which was a good improvement. I modified your process slightly by adding Liqui Moly 2037 Engine Flush to my oil prior to changing, ran for 15 minutes, let the engine cool then added the B12 to the cylinder for an overnight soak, next day flushed the oil with cheap oil, then drained and refilled with Liqui Moly 20438 - Molygen SAE 0W-20. its been 600 miles with zero oil consumption. One word of warning using the Berryman B-12 Chemtool, I've read of people running their engine with the B12 in the oil and it destroying the bearings, with this in mind I did not run my engine after the overnight soak, just drained and flushed, so I cant confirm this issue, but for me it was not worth the risk. Thank you so much DIY Dave, your demos and ideas have fixed my engine so much so that I may not need to top up the oil until the next change in 6k miles.

Hi Dave, Ive been watching this series primarily because my daughter has a 2012 Audi A4 2.0T. Notorius for stuck piston rings. The car was burning through a quart of oil every 360 miles. About 4 weeks ago I did a 3 day piston soak similar to what you have been doing. I used Berryman's "Professional" Chem Dip. The car has now been driven 800 miles and has not burned a drop of oil. I am extremely surprised at the results and thinking the problem may be fully fixed. If your still having issues with the Toyota give the Berryman's Professional Chem Dip a try.

B12 used to have instruction on the side for use in Fuel System and Crankcase for decades. I think if I remember correctly it used to recommend 1/2 pint of B12 Chemtool per 4 quarts of crankcase capacity. You would not drive it but you would let it idle with no load before oil change for 20-30 minutes at 2000 rpms. I used to use 1 pint per 4 quarts capacity in really dirty engines. This was around 1991 or 1992. I never had any issues. I did it to many friends cars as well. I did not start doing piston soaks though on non-siezed engines until about 2001. When I would replace platinum or double platinum plugs I would pour some B12 in and let things soak then crank the engine latter reinstall the plugs. I was working at General Motors and a lot of cars where having oil consumption issues and piston carbon issues. It just seemed like cheap insurance every 50K miles to do this. Likewise 1 tank of fuel before oil changes I would toss in a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. Again not solving any issues more just trying to prevent any. Slowly more and more companies European, Domestic and Japanese started to develop issues with oil consumption, sludge and carbon.

I came across your channel looking for a solution to the same issue on my 2009 Toyota Matrix with a 2AZ FE engine. My engine's oil consumption is not as sever as yours but it still is concerning (1 qt/1200 miles). However, before I try Berrymans I am going to use Seafoam in the crank case before each oil change (3K miles) and see if that works. It is a lttle milder. I worry that Berrymans could damage the crank case seals. You now have one more subscriber. Please keep us posted.

Update: I ended up doing the same experiment as you did with Berryman's B12. After running at redline, or close to it, for about 35 miles and then draining the oil, there was a lot of sludge and carbon deposits present in the oil. I then added fresh synthetic 5W-30 oil and installed a new filter. Two things that I did different than you in the oil change is I added 2 oz. of Seafoam in with the fresh oil - your Seafoam experiment did show some temporary improvement - and added 5 oz. of SFR oil additive which I use regularly in all of my engines. I than drove the car as normal (approx. 65% highway, 35% city). I added another 3 oz. of Seafoam to the oil with 500 miles remaining before the next oil change. I checked the oil level regularly with very little oil consumption and after 3260 miles I only burned approximately a 1/2 quart. I then changed the oil again adding the 2 oz. Seafoam and 5 oz. SFR. Hopefully the oil burning will remain low. Thank you for your video, I definitely helped me!

The oil pooling ontop of the pistons is a sign that your valve stem seals are leaking. As the engine warmed up the blue smoking decreased significantly. While your piston rings may not be sealing as well as they should if they had failed your vehicle would be smoking under all running conditions. The treatment possibly mixed with the oil and softened the valve stem seals to reduce the oil leaking.

In my opinion this would be the best way. Unfortunately, I'm quite sure compression was harmed during this. Also to get all the B12 out of the oil, after such treatment (before the 20min drive) an Diesel engine specific oil could be used + new oil filter - those have much stronger carbon cleaning ingredients that are safe for the engine. + B12 in the fuel tank After the 20min intensive ride replace with premium correct spec Oil + Filter.

The key to using B12 as a gas additive and save money while doing good for your engine is to use inexpensive gasoline and a can of B12 as the additive cleaning package every other tank to once a month. Using it every tank is not necessary unless your engine has some specific issue you're trying to fix. Using B12 in this way is how to save money over buying high priced decent gas that has a pretty good additive package (such as Shell). B12 is still a better additive than Shell's Nitrogen additive package as B12 is a dedicated cleaner that's proven, even more so than Mystery oil Lucas and SeaWeed. FUN FACT; B12 is one of the few gasoline additives that actually ignites when flame is put to it. The rest put the flame out.

I own 2001 Corolla with oil burning issue as well. I suspect that sometimes if i don't warm up the car in the morning (specially in winter) there is more oil loss when piston slap noise is louder which kinda disappears after engine have warmed up, that slap contributes to some oil passing to burning chamber and i lose more oil that way. Piston slap is when there is a bigger gap between cylinder walls and pistons. When the engine sits overnight rings & piston shrink plus if the engine has some wear there is even more lose. When the engine is warmed that gap will be smaller which will translate to less oil passing through the rings. I'm finding if i drive with mostly low rpm in town i loss less oil while a short free drive (higher rpm) cause more oil burned. Keep up the good work!

His car inspection was rolling round and he ran across this Berryman-12. After he added the can drove around a bit not knowing what to expect. The check engine light went out and till this day has never come back on . The vehicle has 200k plus miles on it. After that? I start using it myself after each oil change for good measure 😌

Bravo Dave! I’m so confident that B12 worked and yes I’ve used 2 cans of B12 myself as 1 treatment. 1 can for hot soak with engine warmup, and 1 can for cold soak with engine was cold. And I also put in some ATF transmission fluid in each cylinders at the end, about 1/2 ounces in each cylinder to help lubricate the piston wall and final stripping off the left over carbon in the cylinder before starting the car. (ATF can strip off carbon deposits that’s had been loosened by B12). U don’t need much, just 1/2 ounce is good enough or u can skip the ATF if u don’t feel safe with it. That’s small amount won’t hurt anything since u r gonna change the oil anyway. Great video Dave! Hope to see your follow up video about the oil consumption after B12 treatment and remember, it may take 2 or 3 treatments to fully cure oil consumption and each manufacturer’s engine is different so it might have different results.

A great way using the original b12, not the one specified as specifically fuel injector cleaner, is to pull the spark plugs out, put between 3 and 4 oz into the top of each cylinder with the block temp around 130 F, and then put the spark plugs back for sealing purposes. Come back after after a few hours, remove the spark plugs again, check (use boroscope) to see how much fluid was lost, add a little bit if any cylinder does not have the entire top of the in piston covered, stuff a rag into each spark plug well (not into the cylinder!), crank the engine over 15-20 seconds. Remove rags, use a manual pump to remove all liquid from cylinders, replace plugs, start engine. Run it at idle (a conservative rpm under 2000 if it won't immediately idle well due to the garbage in the cylinder) for 5-10 minutes, then change the oil and filter. Use a cheaper oil, but not complete garbage. Change oil again (use good oil) after 500 miles (unless turns very dark before that). Check your oil burning. Should have decreased dramatically.

I've tried a similar test on 2 Jeep 4.7s I had that used oil due to stuck rings. I switched them to synthetic oil for the high detergent to break it up as best I could, with some cleaner as well. One thing I found that made the difference was not just high RPM use, but high load use. You really want to heat the pistons up a ton. I would load up my trailer and go pull big grades with them and try to get the engine temp climbing and maintain for awhile. Seemed to work alright. Edit: if you do change oil visocity, my go-to oil burner "fixer" is 5w40 Rotella. Great oil, and seems to help. Subaru guys love it for some reason 🤔

Cool video. I saw a video by Mike Busch of Savvy Aircraft Maintenance and the topic was fixing low compression on aircraft engines. AVGAS is leaded fuel and the lead bromide builds up in the rings and cannot be dissolved like carbon from unleaded fuel. So, one way to try to force the lead out is by filling the cylinder with a solvent at the bottom of the compression stroke, installing the spark plugs, and pulling the engine through a compression stroke. If the valves are lapped and seated well, the solvent will be forced through the rings and hopefully mechanically remove the lead. I am going to soak the rings and leave them for a while. Then, I am going to do the ring wash like I described with the Berryman's or with Sea Foam, or maybe a stronger solvent. I am thinking it light work really well. Then you have to put oil in the cylinders and turn the engine over, since every bit of the lubrication will be washed off the cylinder walls.
