Try high mileage oil. It has more washing formula and supposedly removes deposits better (in theory)

One glass of diesel fuel in oil. Much cheaper. Dont try to clean it all. Guy should do next oil changes every 1k miles.

I think brake cleaner 5 cans could do some good cleaning. I would do oil flash from oil pan second step before running the engine. Maybe removal of oil pan would help too. After that I would use engine flash 2 cans with fresh oil.

You don't need to unscrew link bar the drive shaft can easily come out

That engine's not that bad. I bought one with 70,000 miles that looked like it had cotton candy under the valve covers.

Very patient, thorough. Good video.

Motor Oil Geek has lab results & tests on filter prefilling too.

Hi there great vid Is the exhaust solenoid in the same place on the gen 2 JCW? Got a 2010 N14 B16

A good 2 part video to show why regular oil change is less work and cheaper.

First Just change oil with cheap stuff. Add engine flush to fresh oil and let it run. The fresh oil has more capabilities to hold the dirt . Do this a second or maybe a third time.

🤣🤣🤣the thumbnail with you looking sad🤣🤣🤣

A word of advise, Don't put on the undertray until you have refilled and started the car. That way you can easily verify whether you have any leaks or not.

are kias unreliable or are their owners kinda bad at maintenance… a question as old as time

It may be dumb but I would put some mineral spirits in with oil and let it idle a few minutes then drain and fill. Maybe change oil again after a short drive.

One of the best instructional video. Concisely demonstrated. Well done.

Thank you for your video it was driving crazy now I know

do you think i can change the rear main seal at home?

Doesn’t make sense you did all that work cleaning the top-end only to run it with a crusty ass bottom-end oil pan.

He changed the oil 6k miles ago, bro I call BS 💩, more like 60k mileage ago. You can tell a person maturity when they’re not responsible to do an oil change, an oil change every 5k mileage spend the $100-$200 as having a vehicle you need to be responsible otherwise 💩 like this happens.

Skip the flush kit. Type F transmission fluid

06 c230 after I change the intake manifold my car won’t crank/start I still have power headlight, horn, radio. Any ideas what’s causing it.

The Marvel Mystery oil is a mistake. It reduces viscosity & additives in it aren't good for your base oils chemistry. When doing a flush you want full oil level, plus about a gallon of diesel & a quart of cleaner. Fast idle for 30min with 1/2 of the radiator blocked off. The point is to have the crank splashing in the flush mixture & get the engine temp up a bit. Don't overheat or drive vehicle. It will take two more oil changes to get diesel & cleaner totally out of oil supply. (These ratios were for a V- 8 motor.)

A few little mistakes on your part. #1 silicone on oil pan goes INSIDE of bolt holes 1st before going OUTSIDE of bolt holes. #2 apply oil to BOTH sides of oil filter gasket. #3 Fill oil filter with oil before installing. (Several seconds of zero oil pressure can scar bearings)

Great instructions. Just changed mine on my TDI Sportwagen. Thanks for the clear info!

I picked up a Konwei for like 18 bucks w coupon. Perfectly suits my needs for testing something every couple of months. 👍

Should have done a diesel fuel flush and let it idle for half an hour. Half oil half diesel.

I got a 4 door 2003 320i rhd from Japan should be pretty much the same shit right

Excellent candidate car for the new Valvoline Restore & Protect Synthetic Oil. I would be interested in seeing what this new product could do over 3,000 miles.

Flush all you want....that engine is history! Rings - Bearings - Seals are shot.

Today's young folks don't knows much about car maintenance, like my stepson, they think maintenance only involves putting gas in the tank. 🤣LOL

Thank you so much for the video. This will help me a lot and save you money and take proper care of my car. I just got my car back from a 3 week wait. I took it in for a coolant leak, and they say they changed the water pump for that issue. Along with other work. But now my Jetta...breaths weird when it idles ..and sometimes it wants to gently..in a exhale ..putter off..it's not an aggressive sound. But clearly my car shouldn't be turning off at the light. I noticed it was smoking for underneath and I believe they didn't close the oil cap fully (my engine was dry of oil less than 1 week later) which lead to oil dripping on hot pipes. They also left the top cover of the vacuum tube that connects to the top of my radiator/fan. I look forward to fixing a car I really love saving limited funds in the process..thank you.

Plastic valve cover? Man I seen it all. Lol

i have the same problem with my kia since I bought it from an insurance auction. cleaned it out like this but still wasn't enough and I keep having low oil pressure and rpm drops when stopped that is leading to the engine stalling. problem was worse until I got the right oil filter but I am hoping after I change the oil again after 1500 miles that the problem goes away.

excelente video gracias por compartir

Great video hello from Malaysia

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to p

Chane your own oil

Smoke machine makes things easy for sure.

Innthe middle of this same repair and having issues

Be careful with the MMO. It's not good to leave it in the oil long term. It was developed as a fuel addative to remove carbon deposits, not for putting in engine oil. Seafoam is a better choice honestly. More expensive, but it's worth it.

كان لدي سقف بيتي وعندما تمطر يحدث دخول ماء وكنت افكر بهذا الحل 😂

Props ro @nick4073 . I had not considered the "greedy shop" potential for work not being done, but being charged for.

The owner did the first oil change that you get for free from the dealer, when you buy the car. He has not changed it since.

The "quick change" places are known for scams. They've not actually changed the oil, cross-threaded plugs, failed to properly tighten plugs and under-filled with oil. Many engines have died thanks to them. Do it yourself or take to a dealer so it's covered.

And the KIA haters will still blame KIA for this guy not changing his oil for over 30,000 miles.

Question is why is sludge forming? 11:44

Friend gets car back from ultra-thorough cleaning: **doesn’t change oil for 20,000 miles**

Thanks 4 ur time in videos 📹 it helps all of ur knowledge..! Blessings 🙌

Also there is a pan gasket for this car there are cheap aftermarket ones as well as its a common car. I doubt it was originally cemented on at manufacture someone has pulled it off and not bothered putting a new gasket. You can tell this as there is less loctite on the bolts. Although you put the cement on well it can squeeze out internally and when it dries the heat and oil rip bits off and go through the engine causing problems.

Put the right oil in it for where you live it should say in the owners manual oil weight and viscosity matter dependent upon the climate where you live. Honda has a sliding scale based on climate. I have seen dealers put in to thin or to thick oil im sure they do it on purpose to damage the engine they also put in the most expensive fully synthetic oil when the car only needs semi synthetic.
