Car Burns Oil🔥, Piston Rings Soak with B-12 (Hyundai Elantra)

Hyundai Elantra Gt Burns Too Much Engine Oil which causing misfire and low mpg, In this video I'm doing one stage Piston Rings Soaking with B-12 to fix the issue.

[@312Drive]

1500 miles driven so far, oil still full. so far it's a success (switched from 5W-20 to 5W-30)

[@meaculpamishegas]

You need to use whatever oil type the manufacturer recommends, that’s a modern engine and won’t benefit from that like an old engine would

[@PurpHaze830]

@@312Drive modern engines actually benefit fuel and oil wise if you use a lower oil. Beings you use 5w-20, switch to 0w-20

Any longer term update?

New drinking game... take a shot everytime he says the word "Basically". I dare you!! LOL!

[@312Drive]

lets goooo lol. yea, I'm just happy that this procedure stopped oil burn completly at least 850 miles

[@flintnicarus]

I came here to say the same thing hahaha nice lol cheers

[@philjerome9795]

Valvoline has a new motor oil called restore & protect. They claim that it will clean up pitons and rings. I haven't has a chance to try it yet, but I have used the B-12 soak on a 2015 Forte that was burning a lot of oil. It definitely helped the the oil consumption.

[@Evoo-py5js]

Apparently works extremely well. There's a video by a guy named "Oil Geek" who made a video on it recently and had an interview with the lab who developed it.

[@philjerome9795]

@@Evoo-py5js Yes, I saw that video, but I am hoping to see some real results from users.

[@Evoo-py5js]

@@philjerome9795 Based on my searches through forums, it seems to work for oil consumption. Many people reported that by the 2nd or 3rd oil change that oil consumption reduced entirely and as low as 50%.

I have a Hyundai accent 2014 - around 120'000 km and it looses almost .5 to 1 liter of oil every week, Thanks for your super informative video,

[@312Drive]

that procedure may help to reduce the consumption at least

[@philjerome9795]

Its a good idea to crank the engine over, with the spark plugs out, before trying to start it.

[@312Drive]

totally forgot about it that's why it longer to start it

[@philjerome9795]

Doesn't take much liquid in a cylinder to hydro lock and cause damage. @@312Drive

[@312Drive]

yeas that why I made sure it was dry before putting spark plugs in

[@ThatDanielRyan]

Basically.

[@Bugcatcher3d]

Berryman B-12 has a high evaporation rate from just using it. It is very good at softening/lossening the carbon build-up but I noticed levels in the chambers do drop alot fairly quickly and don't believe it made it's way past the rings into the sump. Going to do another piston soak to see if can clean up last bit or carbon still in there but will re-install the spark plugs to limit evaporation this time to see if it makes a difference.

[@PedroGarcia-zb7wx]

Awesome video man! So how is it going? Has the oil consumption totally stopped? BTW you mentioned you had issues with the cat converter also, how did you manage it? Did you clean it?

[@312Drive]

stopped in my case 90% which is success. new cat installed. got one for 150$ on eBay and welded by exhaust shop for $220

[@davidbryant5875]

I tried it for a couple days didn’t help mine. Cylinder 4 miss fire only 30 pounds of compression oil on spark plug smokes like crazy. May try it one more time

[@SOUTHWEST_PILOT]

How many miles this car have? Did your car stop burning oil? I have a Santa Fe sport and it burns like 2 quarts every 800 miles.

[@bunyip250]

My Toyota 2AZFE was using too much oil but had no leaks but I found out they had a problem with the drain holes in the piston rings blocking up. I put Seafoam in the oil and did about 1000km and changed the oil and it's been fine. I don't know if the Santa Fe had the same problem but maybe look into it.

[@312Drive]

it has 100k so far drove 250 miles oil still full no smoke in my exhaust will update at 1k miles 2k miles and 3k miles

[@SOUTHWEST_PILOT]

@@312Drive thank you

[@SOUTHWEST_PILOT]

@@bunyip250 how much seafoam in the oil?

[@bunyip250]

@@SOUTHWEST_PILOT 30ml per litre of oil or one ounce per quart, there's plenty on youtube about it. Project Farm or Chrisfix are the best. I just found I was losing oil again but no leaks on the ground but the engine was a little messy and it turned out I had lost the seal on the engine oil filler cap somehow. It was spitting out and being burned up on the engine so look out for that too.

[@joshsansone5113]

I would like to see a more detailed video on turning the engine with the wrench and setting the cylinders to same level. '16 sonata 2.4l gdi consumes oil at 1qt per 500miles.

[@312Drive]

half turn set mine in the middle. you may need that camera to look into cylinders

[@Centralflorida22]

The amount of smoke that came out of my 328i filled the street with white smoke for about the length of a football field. It cleaned my oil sensor so now it's working properly again. Also not burning a drop of oil and no oil burning smell. I couldn't be more happy. I used my tools and a bore scope. I just did a 8 hour soak. Topped off Then rinse flushed out the spark plug holes. The amount of carbon was monstrous. Although the crankcase is in pristine condition meaning this car had normal oil changes before I bought it in March. I couldn't be more happier. Next is ultrasonic cleaning the fuel injectors.

[@312Drive]

Awesome!

[@bob123281]

What so u mean rinse flushed the spark plug hole. I just started the piston ring soak on my 2013 Camry with 250k on it. I plan on just turning it over without the spark plugs in it.

[@bob123281]

I’d like a little help here lol

[@Centralflorida22]

My apologies. Yes so after letting it soak with berrymans b12. For 8 hours I then used sea foam maybe a quarter cup in each spark plug hole then wait 5 min and turn the engine over to flush it. Now the carbon does a number on the catalytic converter as it was like burning coles threw there. It was just carbon though. I'm going to use cataclean next week. Also you will get misfires and hesitation. I put on new coils and ruthenium plugs. As of now my oil is still full 600 miles in. And I don't smell any oil burning. Also keep in mind just sea foam will not work. You have to do the soak with berrymans

[@bob123281]

@@Centralflorida22 thanks bro, I did it yesterday for a couple of hours with a bottle of berrymans. I did like 110 ml in each cylinder. After 2 hours it was gone. So I turned it over without plugs in and the first 2 cylinders had a bunch of carbon come out. But cylinder 3 and 4 were relatively clean. I’m guessing those were the problem cylinders. I use my car for work so i didn’t have much time. But i plan to do it again. I hope it helped only time will tell.

[@yanishblackstar1952]

Can I use another mark of fuel injector cleaner?

[@312Drive]

maybe you can but this thing is available on amazon for 5-6$

[@coltonjones5968]

I would recommend doing a induction service as well, I bet this intake valves are covered in carbon

[@312Drive]

I've done it but may need to again if this procedure reduces significantly oil burn. so far seems promising

[@raymondrussek2998]

We get 350 miles per quart in my 2012 Scion XB. I plan on trying this method. We already switched to Valvoline's Clean and Protect. I guess the oil must be in the car longer than 3 days to be effective.

[@armouredtrend7404]

Yes as it must not block the oil filter with too much crap as it will damage the engine, has to do it 'softly softly catchie.... ' over time

[@1albasim]

Good video

[@312Drive]

thnx, hope it helps someone too

Run Valvoline’s restore and protect and all of your problems will go away. 5k oil intervals.

[@kallben5937]

Worked for Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2017- 155k miles drove 1200 no more oil consumption And no codes popped after the treatment I used 5w-30 valvoline

[@jae7230]

where to buy the tool to take out the liquid ？

[@312Drive]

I got it on amazon, if u let is sit longer it should soak fully. I was no patient. (also u can ignite a few time without spark plugs so liquid is fully out of cylinders.)

It's under warranty.

[@312Drive]

tricky! if your car has less than 100k. they will ask you to provide oil change receipts for every 3750 miles, they will try really hard to not cover it. I tried they say 1qt oil per 1000miles is normal and charge you for testing diagnosis etc.

[@6jdhd]

@312Drive Wrong there a campaign kia and hyundai has oil Consumption problems . They extended the warranty on all vehicles, and yours is one of them. I sent customers to the dealer for this all the time. You just have to have proof of all your oil changes. And they have to be done on time

[@312Drive]

@@6jdhd I did not own it till 90k so I will not have a proof for oil changes since 2015 and so with many other people. trust me they will find a way to not honor many many people and I'm not dealing with them. I had 2017 sonata with 55k miles engine blew up. they did not cover it. go figure.

[@TechSurreal]

100k power train warranty is only for the first owner. Unless you buy a certified preowned Kia or Hyundai the power train warranty reduces to 5yr/60k miles for the consequent owners.

[@312Drive]

bingo, imagine how many second owners after 60k miles. same happened with my sonata with I bought at 54k in 1k engine blew and that was their reason u're not the first owner. crazy. but it is what it is.
