DESLUDGING My Dodge Dart Engine From Totaled To CLEAN

I bought a cheap 2013 Dodge Dart SXT to rent out on Turo. When I bought it I was told the maintenance was always kept up with and it was ready to go. There was basically nothing wrong with it but a slow valve cover leak, until @TylerPotter and I pulled the valve cover off... thats when we found the engine full of sludge. Today we're going to clean the engine out with BG Dynamic. It's a chemical treatment that removes sludge with a multi-step process and makes the inside of old engines look incredible.

BG brought back my '04 Silverado's 5.3 from almost 300k miles with cracked heads. Boiled off dexcool formed a sludge in the oil, engine was a mess. Zero oil pressure. We changed heads and ran high quality oil 800 miles for 3 changes in a row. Would still knock loose larger sludge and clog pick up tube. Decided to give it one more shot with BG. At the final flush it came out clean. Engine is sparkly clean and truck has since run 20k miles trouble free with perfect oil pressure. I'm a believer, BG is solid.

The bg dynamic kit actually works incredibly well. It is very expensive though. We had to put an engine in one of our shop vehicles and the new to us engine was pretty sludged up. Used this kit and every little nook and crany looked brand new. I was very skeptical at first but after seeing that I'm a believer.

[@reelman4299]

Sad to see a newer car treated like this. I think the BG products are excellent. Reminds me of when I bought a used 1979 Celica GT in 1987 to drive back and forth to work. The original owner had done 3 or 4 oil changes in 8 years. Surprisingly the car ran pretty good. The 20R engine was bullet proof. A trusted old mechanic told me what to do to clear some of the sludge. I drained the oil, changed the oil filter, added 2 quarts cheap oil and 3 quarts of transmission fluid. I drove it around for a couple of hours, not revving the engine. Drained the oil and was amazed at the chunks of sludge that came out. I did this once more in a month. I ran cheap oil in the car for the next 3 years. I was told that ATF had high levels of detergents. In 1990 I traded it in for a new Isuzu pickup. Keep the content coming!

I wonder what oil the previous owner used and how long they went in between oil changes. I just did the valve cover gasket on our 14 year old Nissan Sentra with 145k on it and the top of the motor was squeaky clean at the corners, cam lobes and lifters. I'd buy the cheapest 5W30 conventional oil on sale (usually Castrol GTX or Supertech) and change it regularly. They must have really gone a long way between changes because cheap oil, once changed regularly, works great.

Before I change the oil on any engine, I always let them run 15 minutes with 1 L Diesel in the engine oil. It cost 1$ and the engine is clean! My experience and what I learnt from my grandfather 40 years ago.

[@richardwasserman]

I had an old Nova that I never changed the oil on. Just added oil when needed. Eventually, the oil return passages clogged up and I had to do something. We pulled the rocker arm cover and manually removed as much sludge as possible. I then added a quart of diesel fuel to the oil. The car smoked like a banshee for an hour. Then I changed the oil and filter. The car ran for another few years with no problem.

[@ChrisCollins-Oakland]

My neighbor's grandpa smoked until he was 94, so there is that too.

[@EweToobUsername]

My dad had a Dodge Omni that got to that point. Added a quart of the thinnest oil he could get once every 2 months. When the car finally crapped out on him after 7 or 8 years (clutch failure), we pulled the engine out and it was surprisingly clean inside. A couple of oil changes while it was on a stand and it went into his buddy’s dune buggy with a Getrag 5 speed and a 2 barrel Weber carb.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

I remember being told to slowly pour ATF into the running carb on my ‘71 Torino. It smoked so badly you couldn’t see the car while it was running for like twenty minutes. A little embarrassing in the neighborhood when you’re 16. And stupid. It did free up a couple of collapsed lifters. Did nothing for the valve stem seals.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Wow, you and I have the same recipe. I Have been doing this for years... one ounce of sea foam per quart of oil in the crank case, and one ounce of sea foam for every gallon of fuel in my tank. The Silverado 5.3 V8 is a 6 quart system, and my tank is 25 gallons, so 2 cans of sea foam at 16 ounces is perfect ( the additional ounce goes in the fuel). I have 260k miles on the truck and had the oil pan off recently to reseal it... it is nearly spotless inside. I am a true believer in Sea Foam! It's a great fuel stabilizer for motorcycles and lawn mowers too.

[@nathanielbonde7716]

So what type of oil were you running in this motor to cause such sludge?

Interesting product. I have also heard that a quart of ATF also dissolves the sludge. But, it might change the viscosity of the oil which could cause problems with seals and such. So this product must have the same viscosity and yet have powerful dissolving agents.

[@brandonupchurch7628]

Modern ATF doesn't do squat as a flush, it's essentially 0W-8 or 0W-16 motor oil made with severely hydroprocesed mineral bases that are effectively "dry" base oils with less additives than motor oil, ATF was once useable as a flush because it contained sperm whale oil which is an ester oil and naphthenic oil which has a good deal of solvency, modern transmission oil is using either grp 2+ or grp. 3 mineral oil bases, or some expensive botique oils or HD truck fluids like Allison TES-295 may contain PAOs but these are all really dry base oils and don't have much solvency, ATF really doesn't need to have any detergency because it doesn't deal with combustion contaminants.

No clogged pick up tube but smoke on start up after sitting. Figuring I had not so much to loose I used diesel oil 15w40, we live in Florida. Went back to conventional oil. Big difference. Gradually cleaned the valve train. Still burns oil and smokes, but that black sludge color would go away. The Toyota V6 even 1996 ones are known sludgers. Short stop and go trips promote sludge as oil does not get hot enough to evaporate the moisture produced by the combustion process.lack of oil changes and a engine that runs too warm.

Its not that they're inept its that the dealers are trying to maximize profits. To have a car in the shop that long while other vehicles can be dealt with takes from their revenue stream. It also ensures that they get to charge a customer for an entire new engine instead.

[@CoreMaster111]

How much longer would this engine last anyway at this point? If it's sludged up then obviously previous owner/s didn't really care much. If you remove the sludge you may end up with an engine that now rattles because it's worn out and or starts leaking oil from everywhere, including burning oil. It would be just matter of time before that car would be back at the dealership with angry customer. Not worth it unless you are doing it for yourself.

I tried EPR and 44k in my 133k Camry and I was shock how clean it left my engine and is running smooth like new and got 2-3 mpg back which is good product next with liquimoly are my two to go brands

[@Lions7.62mm]

Was there a reason you didn't vacuum remaining sludge/oil from the bottom of the oil pan after you drained it? Wouldn't that have helped get more out of the system?

[@derekgardin1512]

I'm sure most un the pan dissolved if the top of the engine got as clean as it did.

BG products makes great stuff. I use their HCF spray at work and have a can at home. It’s a great waterproof silicone spray.

[@thesnipersnestandmore7461]

What do you do if you’re doing a car that uses more than 5qts of oil? Do you mix oil with the cleaner and rinse?

[@Flies2FLL]

Yeah, now it's beautiful inside, but I doubt it runs any different. The problem [as he stated] with cleaning this garbage out of an engine is that you run the risk of a blob of gunk coming loose and blocking an oil passage, resulting in a destroyed bearing. In many cases, it is probably better to leave well enough alone.

[@chubbysumo2230]

this is also my personal opinion as well. I would ask "why" the engine is this bad? was it from bad service intervals? is it a bad PCV system not venting the vapors fast enough to allow them to condense on the cooler parts of the engine? I am half tempted to take the rocker covers off my cargo van's engine. it has 468000 on it, and has run amsoil OE 5w-30 since I bought it at 110000. the first few changes, the oil came out just muddy black, but after that, it mostly came out clean and dark, not dirty. It was changed every 10k. I am curious what it looks like inside, because it still makes 30 pounds of oil pressure hot, and over 60psi cold.

[@xkavarsmith9322]

I feel like this treatment should be run at least twice. Might be a lot of money, but still cheaper than blowing the engine.

I've always used diesel 50/50 mix with cheapskate oil as a flush, never had a problem in 45 years.

If the vehicle takes let's say 8 quarts and you fill it with the dynamic do you top off what's remaining with engine oil?

[@juliobello4561]

I try it the epr in my 2015 Camry which I used for lyft before i stop doing it. I have the 2.5 but 2018 I didn’t move my car all year I was using public transportation since I was working in San Francisco but when I run my car on the weekends it burn oil. I used the liquimoly flush which worked amazing to clean the burned oil and in November I try the epr and my oil came close to when he did the second flush and smelled horrible too but my engine runs like new and is quiet. Before it had little ticking noise

[@terryparrott9426]

Why do we never see exhaust ventilation tubes in working garages anymore? As long as that car was running indoors I would think the carbon monoxide buildup would be significant. Didn’t garages used to have suction tubes to hook over the exhaust pipes to vent it outside the building?

[@stuartbear922]

Good question! I reckon cars burn so cleanly it's not an issue. There's enough cubic feet of open space and ventilation.

[@conner768]

they’re still a thing i use them at work all the time but i’m guessing it was overlooked or skipped due to cost when they set their building up
