You want an oil that is stinky out the bottle get some genuine WAP high pressure pump oil. it stinks worse than burnt gear oil even new, and only gets a stronger smell with age and degradation, especially if it gets water in it.

I own a 2016 2litre skyactive g change oil every 8k full synthetic biggest mistake only lasted 249000 km without issue except number 4 piston ring gone sucking to much oil causing misfire

Got a 2000 Dodge 360 with 230k miles on it. Daughter has it in Pennsylvania, I'm in Washington State. She is complaining of lots of engine knock. Could this be from dirty injectors? Should we try Chevron Techron? If I was there, or the engine was here, I could actually change out engine rings or troubleshoot it more, but it's not here. Should we be using a different oil than 10w30, and I'm not entirely sure what's being used as she takes it in to have it changed. I know oil isn't going to solve 230+ k miles, but just looking to extend it another year of use. Thanks in advance. Can I send in the used oil? So all the new vehicles go longer on oil changes, yet their filters are much smaller!?!

I'll follow what the Honda Techs say at Honda.

Would love to see a video specifically on the Stiction on a 6.0. Powerstroke. Many have claimed great success with archoil.

Been a Quaker State guy my whole life.

Have you heard of ardeca oil ?. I hope you get to test their formula to protect and is it better built then pennzoil ultra

It may* be that in practice, Marvel Mystery Oil’s cleaning properties of carbon deposits on the piston rings, reduces the blow-by combustion damage on the oil by having a better sealed cylinder head. I’ve seen some other youtube content showing marvel being used to free up totally immobilized piston rings after soaking in it overnight. I had taken to adding it to my oil changes, so I’m glad I came across your content to make me the wiser. I just saw your fuel additive video, and I wonder if Marvel’s better use would be as a piston ring cleaner coming in from the fuel side, instead of the oil side. Being blasted right into the leaky gap held open by the carbon, instead of contaminating all the oil by just dumping it straight in.

How do you prefilled a filter that is not vertical? The classic SBF like the 302 has a filter that is nearly horizontal. Pre fill then pour all the oil on the ground trying to get it screwed on?. Disconnecting the coil and cranking still takes the same number of rotations of the assembly to fill the filter. Been changing oil on trucks without refilling the filters for 50 yrs. The engines still run strong and without fail. Making a big deal out of nothing. I guess if you drained the oil and let the engine sit for a week before refilling and starting it might lose some lubrication. But an oil change in 15 minutes, it's not causing damage to spray of

Can detergent oils be hard on yellow metals (brass, bronze and copper) parts?

Question. Does premium fuel in a low compression (9.4:1) engine calling for 87 make a difference as well? I’ve always been taught 93 would be a waste because of the compression ratio and timing being tuned for 87. Now an engine with a higher compression raitio calling for 93 and putting 87 in it I definitely see how that’ll make a difference in more than one are of issues.

Love your videos, I learn so much.

Lead was never good for pollution .

Oil is not formed by the decomposition of organic matter, Soviet scientists proved this many decades ago, Planet Earth is extremely rich in hydrocarbons, its alleged scarcity is artificial...

Can i use Pennzoil ultra platinum in my GM car and truck even though it doesn't say Dexos 1 on the container? Thanks

I just scheduled my oil change at my local chevrolet dealer. They have everyone there trained very well. She asked how many miles were on my truck. I stated, coming up to 1000. She said 3000? I said no one-thousand.. she almost told me they were going to turn me away because it's not needed. She said it's not recommended, I said well, in my opinion, I recommend it, are you refusing the oil change? She said no , it's just not recommended. I said that's fine, thank you though. 😆 I'm also going to be a more p.i.t.a when I get there and request that my oil be used, or at the very least they use mobil one full synthetic vs the bulk oil they get in the shop barrels lol. Truck has 900 miles on it right now, and when you said the first 500 I was like AHHHHH 😂

My new 2025 corolla, had oil changed today at 1k miles at dealer. Nobody questioned why i was changing it so early. Tells me everything I need to know.

The oil life indicator showed 9%, the oil analysis said "still good" by the last half of the video. For an ol' guy, would someone interpret and say what percentage of the oil life has been used up based on the oil analysis. Not just a go/no go. Thanks!

Thanks buddy very informative

Yes! Please do more ind

My oil filter goes on sideways. How can I fill it up and put it on without it spilling out? Thank you so much for your helpful video.

Had a Peugeot 505gti saloon Had a crack in liner 3 and also piston lost it's skert only top ring left managed to drive it back 30 miles got back took engine out luckily no damage to crank or cam put new shells in and one wet liner and piston and an oil pump

I bet this doesn't work on my 97 Hilux

Fantastic breakdown. Lost me a bit on the chart walk-through. Thanks for putting this together!

Excellent, thank you. I'm from Europe and roughly 60 years ago I was a young lad tasked with the oil changes on my father's car. We had heard of the special characteristics of motoroil based on Pennsylvania crude and we used only Valvoline oil. Back in those days I changed the oil roughly every 2000 miles. And my father was able to achieve very high mileage out of his cars, over 150.000 miles without major engine work. Which was quite high back then!

Big dealers are selling thousand dollar engine flushes and adding Slick 50 snake oil on way out.

No fill. To make air no tripped into filter

My Dad grew up in Oil City and cleaned oil tanks in the summer while getting his chemical engineering degree from Penn State. I'll never forget the smell of that town when visiting the family on Stevens St.

Would you please recommend an oil analysis lab in the Houston area? I have a 2006 Ram with 5.9 cummins and 450,000 miles. I have used rotella t6 5w40 and mobil 1 synthetic oil filter and 5000 mile oil changes. I am thinking i should probably drop to 4000 mile oil changes. In the oil analysis, what key markers should I look for as an acceptable oil change interval?

Very interesting. Thank you.

Are they serious ?

What brand euro oil has the API certification SP? I only see SN certification in the stores around here where I live.thanks in advance,my car is a BMW with a turbo engine

I'm not a expert on the subject but if u don't fill the oil filter the engine oil level will be a half a quart low as soon as you start it. In my opinion this isn't good so I choose to fill the filter before start up

2:56 Shout out to Lexington KY 3:17 Shout out to Ashland KY.. Love from Louisville KY

If you don’t know when to change your oil you shouldn’t have a driver’s license. Same for changing a tire.

You cannot rearrange the English language like this, you were born far too late.

My knowledge is very limited here, but my understanding is that the additives are blended at elevated temperatures. Isn't it reasonable to expect that settlings will not be re-blended by shaking at room temperature?

Lmao.... I live in the UK using diesel I've never ever seen a dirty diesel pump handle lol

Would adding Techron or Seafoam to your gas actually increase engine wear while cleaning carbon deposits from the engine components?

If you have a Honda, don't do this. Hondas don't have a CFM so if you try, you'll get an avalanche of unwanted revs on startup. Ask me how I know.😉

I learned the hard way about ZDDP in (or the lack of) in modern oil. I wasn't educated on the need for it on my flat tappet motors (All but one of my 5 vehicles have flat tappet cams) and my daily driver (1967 Mercury Comet with a 1977 era 302 and a big Isky cam) started to clatter on the way to work one day so that night I pulled it apart after work and my cam had been ground pretty much flat. After researching why it did that after 40K miles of driving, I learned that "new oil" doesn't have the same properties as the "old oil". Since then I use VR1 or dump some ZDDP additive in for my older stuff. Learned a bunch from your channel, decided to subscribe today :) . When I'm rich and famous, I'll convert my old iron to roller cams and be done with the issues and worry.

Will VALVOLINE solve my car problem Hello May I ask your advice I have 2006 Nissan Armada (336,000 KM) It is consuming oil and gas. However, no smoke of any kind comes out of the exhaust, no oil or gas leaking from any where, no misfiring or vibration or hesitation in the engine, no engine start delay, no gas smell inside or outside, no check engine light, no coolent consumption, 95 fuel has been used only, Castrol 5W30 has been used only. - The spark plugs are new - The air filter is clean - The air and O2 sensors have been cleaned - The throttle has been cleaned - The Charcoal Canister is new - The PCV valves are new - The Fuel Injections have been cleaned without disembeling them by spraying ( "GUMOUT" Carb / Choke Cleaner ) through the injections fuel line ??? ... I am afraid to disembe them and get damaged through the proper cleaning process ? - The fuel tank cover seems good ???... I don't know if I have to replace it with new one ? - The tyres are new and proper air pressure is maintained, but they are Chinese brand. Kind regards,

If you use ow-40 that’s recommended in my Ram 2500 you better change it every 5000 miles or you are going to have failures after 100000 miles pretty much every time.

No

OIL and PRESSURE is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL for the 5.4 3v pos I own - without them - it's a frickin yard ornament

Here's a trip... Many Australian Army vehicles had double fuel filters, due to the (as we were taught) Sulphur content of our local Diesel... How true this is/was, I can't say, but I changed a LOT of fuel filters...

BULLSHIT, SO MUCH THEORY. BEEN DRIVING MY HILUX 4X4 FOR 15 YEARS PREFILLING THE OIL FILTER WITHOUT MY ENGINE KNOCKING... STOP THE CRABS.

Oil is the lifeblood of a planet. It never runs out. It replenishes itself over an over. They are obviously lying to everyone. Why? Duh. Money. Dinosaurs lololol. Btw, great vid. Good info.

Great history video, can't wait for the rest of them. Thanks Lake.

Bro just leaves out canola, vegetable oil, seed oils started out as motor oil and now we eat it.
