Hopefully he has learned from this experience and will stay on top of things moving forward. But if this is the future generation, then we are screwed anyways. 😎 Cheers!

I have a Jetta Wolfsburg Edition

Thanks for the comments, glad you are enjoying the channel content. Sorry to hear you are having issues after the repairs were done on your Jetta. The first thing we would do it to clean up the engine bay, here is a quick video for that - kzfaq.info5zhorB-cOSo Then you can confirm that you don't have anything actively leaking. Are you getting any check engine light? You can also check out our channel where we have performed several repairs on the Jetta - kzfaq.info/sun/PLFnK0z3T00fXxXyH00PuYeSRNM77TtdYD&si=Z9cHvKa3zKHdZjUD Depending on your mileage, you might want to look at doing the fuel filter since that will have an impact on the idling/running of the car. Let us know how things go with your VW project, feel free to reach out anytime. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments. Almost all new cars from all brands have at least one model that uses a plastic valve cover. They have been in production now for over 25 years, so they are very common. We leave in a throw away society now, everything is so cheaply made and not intended to last. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Cheers!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Kia Elias. It sounds like there may still be some sludge in the oil pan that is blocking the oil pickup. I would be sure to remove that and verify. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html We performed additional flushes and went through things again. Let us know how things go with your Kia. Cheers!

@@BradleysGarage it’s because I changed my mind I was wrong :(

Thanks for the comments Robert, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. The goal will be for him to be able to change his own oil moving forward. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, we would have spent hours looking for that little slit in the hose. Especially since it was located on the bottom of the hose, the smoke machine takes out the guess work. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!

Hey Daryl, sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Ram. Let us know what issues you are having and we can try to help you out. Cheers!

Thanks for the information, we just added the 4oz in the oil to provide a little more cleaning. They recommend 20% MMO to the crankcase 300-500 miles before your next oil change. We are doing the entire 3k miles but only with 4oz so figured it wouldn't hurt anything long-term. We just posted the 3k mile update video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9h6Y6VesL64p2Q.html Things are still looking good and we are not seeing any issues whatsoever. Cheers!

سيكون ذلك أمرًا رائعًا أن تملأ المنزل بأكمله بالدخان لترى أين يخرج من السقف. 😉 قد يستغرق ذلك بعض الوقت ولكنه يبدو مثيرًا للاهتمام. هتافات!

Hard to know if they ever actually changed his oil or he just kept going there and they didn't do anything. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson and will take care of things moving forward. We also just posted the 3k mile update video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9h6Y6VesL64p2Q.html Cheers!

Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!

A lot of the sludge was able to exit the drain plug but it still required us to remove the oil pan in order to clean it properly. We also just posted the 3k mile update video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9h6Y6VesL64p2Q.html Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, not sure why it's so hard to change your oil on time. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson and will take care of things moving forward. We just posted the 3k mile update video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9h6Y6VesL64p2Q.html Cheers!

Thanks for the information, what's funny is when we went to grab an OEM oil filter from the dealer they said this Forte doesn't use an actual gasket. We are used to our Euro cars not using gaskets so we didn't even check into it. When we pulled the oil pan off again, we used less adhesive (vs the first video) so hopefully there won't be any pieces that break off inside.

Thanks for the comments, we are not sure what type or brand of oil Jiffy Lube uses but at those prices it cannot be that good of quality. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, not sure if we would be comfortable washing down the motor with water. It seems like it would be impossible to remove it from all the nooks & crannies throughout the engine. We did a little diesel flush (off camera) with the oil pan off to wash out any debris in the tight areas of the engine and holes. That produced quite a bit of particles so we feel pretty good that the internals are clean at this point. Be sure to check out the follow up video where we performed additional flushes here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, we ended up performing several flushes and oil changes on this Kia. Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Dozier, sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Explorer 4.6L. All of the coils will come out without removing the fuel rails. You will just need to use 1/4 drive tools and a swivel socket/extension to get into the tight spots. Just remove the air box at the throttle body for the passenger side coils. Sounds like the drivers side went easier for you. Apologies we do not have any videos on the Explorer as we don't own one. While the motor itself is basically the same as the F150 4.6L, the intake manifold, air box assembly, oil pan, fuel rail, etc are all unique to the Explorer. Depending on when you did the spark plugs last, it's a good time to replace those as well while you have things apart. Just use a vacuum or air compressor to blow out the holes before removing the plugs. Also, be sure the engine is cold before removing the plugs. Torque for the spark plugs is 13 ft. lbs. Let us know how things go with your Ford project. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments, we were actually using carb cleaner just to see how stuck on the sludge was. After doing the clean up top, we did a little diesel flush (off camera) with the oil pan off to wash out any debris in the tight areas of the engine and holes. That produced quite a bit of particles so we feel pretty good that the internals are clean at this point. We felt confident the engine had plenty of lubrication after the wash out so that wasn't a concern for us. Using water would be much worse since there would be no way to get it out of all the little spaces in the engine. Water on bare metal will start rusting within minutes so we wouldn't suggest that method. Depending on how severe the sludge it you might want to consider the BG Engine Flush product - www.amazon.com/BG-Dynamic-Platinum-Restoration-Service/dp/B0B4Z2J16B This will save you from having to take any components off the engine. Supposedly you can just leave everything on and this stuff breaks down all the sludge for you. We plan on checking this product out on our next Sludge Factory project. Be sure to check out the Sludge Factory follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Let us know how things go on your Toyota project. Cheers!

Thanks for the question Harry, it is definitely possible to clean up the engine in most cases. It really depends on how severe the sludge is on the C250. Are you able to take a peak inside the valve cover through the oil cap? That can give you an idea of how severe the sludge is. As you saw from this video, the Kia was a total mess. If yours is not that bad you should have great success with a engine flush. We have posted a few videos on the C250 that can help you remove the valve cover if you'd like to take a better look inside. Then you can compare it to what a clean engine looks like. Here are those videos - kzfaq.info/sun/PLFnK0z3T00fXJS_C_0mOTHudox6MTruuC&si=-g9hcOGBq4mzETek Be sure to check out the follow up video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqyje9Gj2ZbQY6s.html Let us know how it goes, good luck on your Mercedes project.

Thanks for the comments, looking back we probably should have just removed the oil pan when we first took off the valve cover. After seeing that much sludge on the top, it was inevitable the pan was just as bad. We were hoping the Liqui-Moly flush would break that down some but I think it's just too much to ask of any product.
