Have you tried any full synthetic oil stabilizer? I had a car that burned a little oil and that stuff really helped keep the oil out of the pistons. Not sure what it would do to longevity (had a gm 3.6 so I didn't really care) but I've never been in a situation where I regretted using that stuff for 10+ year old cars

I've done a total of 3 weekend long piston soaks with a combo of Berrymans, sea foam deep creep and seafoam cleaner. I was using about a qt between 500 to 800 miles 2AZFe Scion with 192k. I changed oil at about 2500 to 3k miles between soaks and added mmo to the fresh oil changes. First two soaks showed a little improvement but after the last soak I'm at 2200 miles and not a drop of oil used. I think it's just multiple soaks that will get them rings to free up. Get engine nice and warm before soak. So far so good no oil used and oil is staying clean looking. Most of my driving is freeway speeds. Update 2600 miles and no oil burned Update 3062 miles about 1/4 of a quart used and oil is starting to get a little dirty. Not going to add any oil probably change completely at 3500 miles. So far so good hardly any oil has been used and oil is staying clean. Update just changed oil at just under 3500 miles. It used maybe a 1/4 of a qt of oil and oil was getting dark and dirty. I never filled it just changed the oil entirely. Put in some MMO with fresh oil and reset the tripometer. So 1/2 qt approx maybe a little more between 5k oil changes if I drove it to 5k. Gonna continue to monitor oil and change between 3500 to 4k or less. I'll continue to add cleaning agents and will do piston soaks as needed but this seems to have done the trick hopefully it will stay this way. Update changed oil at just under 3500 miles. Currently at 978 miles since and no oil burned. So looks like I'm at approx a half qt to qt burned for 5k intervals which isn't all that bad imo. I will continue to change oil fully under that 5k recommend mileage and use cleaners in the engine. Best wishes!!

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY whoever told you oil was getting past the spark plug threads into the cylinders if that much oil was getting in there hypothetically speaking it would be smoking like a freight train and the plugs would be fouled with oil there is no possible way for oil to get past the spark plug threads they fit so tight and the crush washer as you mentioned it would be a constant billow of oil smoke if it were getting in past the spark plug the plugs would be oil fouled as I said in order for that scenario to happen your spark plug threads would have to be so wore out they wouldn’t stay tight and if that were the cause you would hear it making a loud noise and power loss due to the compression escaping past the spark plug threads so you’ve debunked that theory awesome videos always look forward to your videos merry Christmas everyone

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY I use approx 2/3rds cup to a cup per interval per cylinder. I don't have an exact measurement. But the Berryman is about 2/3 each cylinder and the remainder divided up with the deep creep and seafoam cleaner. I think a key factor is to have your engine warm when you add the chemicals. I let it sit for at least a whole day. I then crank it over a few secs and blow it out and repeat the soak. Obviously the engine is cool with the repeat but I let it soak another day then blow it all out again. I also use a large syringe with plastic tube and I have it taped to a chop stick so I can feed it into the cylinders and get out any remaining fluid. But just cranking gets most out. I then change the oil and add some mmo to the fresh oil. Then I take it out and floor it multiple times and get it nice and hot and just drive it aggressively a while. So far so good no oil used since the last soak and the oil is still clean. Normally it would be black by this time. Thanks for your vids Dave. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Take care!

There's a distinctive difference between "stuck" rings and "worn out" rings: Stuck rings cause high oil consumption at all revs because they leave an open gap . Worn out rings cause oil consumption at high revs because they lack tension pressing them against the cylinder walls, causing them to lift at higher revs to ride on top the oil film instead of "scraping" the oil down to the oil pan. You seem to unfortunately have a car that had stuck, worn out piston rings, so now that they're unstuck they're still worn out...

I love data in these engine episodes. Great car trip there. I've heard good things about BG and Yamalube and the last one. I'm looking forward for more testing and data. I remember when i had my 02 Ford Focus with the 1.6 Zetec SE Sigma engine that burned lot of oil i looked down one of the cylinders when the piston was at bottom stroke and all the cross hatching was gone at the bottom stroke but at the middle and top stroke it was plenty of cross hatching left. I have a theory that the oil control ring was stuck and causing piston slap that again caused more wear at the bottom stroke. But it's only a theory and i don't know if it's legit. It may be also be that the previous first owner of the Focus didn't break in engine properly but that i have very hard to believe. Great video 😊👍

Scott K reminds me of Ray Adam's Toyota commercials in the 80s ... home of the buy 1 get one free. I look forward to watch/ listening to your calm presentation on the next treatment. Not sure what instructions come with next treatment, but buying the cheapest oil to rinse engine for 2 minutes will help remove any parasitic remnants of cleaner that could influence oil consumption. I have a 6qt box of oil for an 8.5qt oil pan that I used once and plan to reuse for this purpose. Also, doing so will minimally improve oil loss by rinsing old diluted oil from within . I chose to use only 1 clean filter; the rinse could not contaminate filter anymore than no rinse and same number of filters. Once again I have to mention how Rislone released gunked up rings on Oldsmobile Disease-ls from the 78-on. Replace lost oil with it as well as including 1 bottle with fresh oil change. Rislone greatly restored power and fuel economy, which in return reduced soot out the tailpipe.

The hose without the pcv is pulling filtered air into the crankcase and the intake vacuum pulls the vapors out of the crankcase through the pvc valve. There are baffles inside of the cable cover that can get gunked up and can allow liquid oil to pass through. Pcv valves can also get gunked up and do the same.

The thing is, we're trying to fix the problems of the stuck rings and clogged drain-back holes, and restore works by sealing gaps around the pistons. Correct me if I'm wrong, but though it might help with the oil consumption, I don't think it'll help with the piston-ring freeing.

Now it is at 228k miles amd still burning oil, the only thing I noticed is a bit lost of power but it runs great and I just add about half a quarter every 2,000 miles or so. I’m pretty sure that the problem is piston rings but it can hold a bit more for now. Good videos keep doing it.

My social economic status only allows me to buy high mileage used cars. I have wanted to buy a Toyota Camry 4- cylinder with a standard transmission. I am aware of the oil burning reputation of the Toyota 4-cylinder engine. Your comprehensive testing procedure has provided me with some very valuable information. I am tempted to buy the 6-cylinder model now, but the 4- cylinder would be better for me. I watch all your videos and they are really great. I have some mechanical skills, but the total overhaul of an engine is beyond my skill level. I have done head gaskets with no problems. For me to buy a used Toyota Camry with oil burning problems, requiring me to buy a new engine would sink me financially. So, I am very interested in what you are doing to find a solution to the high consumption of oil by the 4-cylinder Toyota made engine. Thank you for all your work.

I also believe that your appraisal of not using oil in for mile trips is relying upon the front number of the viscosity of the oil, whereby the viscosity of your oil and speed would likely be the second number in the viscosity 0W-20

To DIY Dave, here’s a thought I’ve had which I have run by a couple of mechanics and ia parts store manager. I would try draining the oil sump and then connecting the threads of the oil sump to an air compressor. I would i pressurize the sump 5 to 10 psi while at the same time keeping the spark plugs in place, and the valve covers on. I would then remove the spark plugs, one or the time and add a few ounces of the Chem-trol B 12 to each cylinder. Then I would pull the ignition coil so that the engine would not start. Then manually rotate the crankshaft five times, allowing the B12 to penetrate down the walls of the Pistons in order to free up the oil ring on the bottom using the 5 to 10 psi from the lower end via the sump. I would then remove the air compressor fitting from the drain sump and refill the engine with the original oil and attempt to start the engine with the addition of 3 to 4 ounces of 30% white vinegar in each cylinder. if there’s any method that would work to free up the stuck oil ring I believe this is it and other people referred to this when I talked to them as calling it priming the engine. Once again I fully agree with your previous methods and feel that cylinder #3 is stubborn and /or has the Weakest/ most Worn rings. Please advise what you think of this method. Thanks for posting the experiment it will certainly benefit hundreds of viewers.

Dave I've always thought that it seemed like there was an increase in the oil consumption with high speed (Interstate) driving with my 1ZZ-FE engine. It's nice to see the results of your study confirming that. I'm at 4,800 miles since I did the EPR flush on my engine and it's used between 2.25 & 2.5 quarts. If my math is right that's roughly 1 quart every 2,000 miles, improved from 1 quart every 1,200 before EPR. I'm excited to see what kind of results you get with the 505 CRF.

I think its got to be that #3 cylinder. Like you said, compression test does not measure the effectiveness of the oil ring, but in a cylinder were the oil ring is stuck, it is stands to reason that the compression rings also have a high possibility of being gummed up and thus having lower compression readings. So given the visual difference of cylinder #3 along with the lower compression reading, I would bet thats the issue. Also, very informative with the speed test. Something that makes complete sense in theory and I've observed anecdotally on my engine but didn't have the patience to test definitively. Another great video in this series.

When you did the compression test and the #3 cylinder was down on compression it also had a much different sound than the rest as you were turning it over. The head and block have a mating oil gallery to return the oil from the rockers back down to the pan. The head gasket seals that gallery from leaking oil out between the head and block to the outside of the engine. More importantly it seals the return oil from being sucked into the cylinder. That galley is usually very close to the combustion chamber. If the head gasket is leaking between the two it will suck oil in on the intake stroke and push compression out on the compression stroke. That compression will end up in pcv valve and then back into the throttle body. Ask me how I know, I've already been there!

I did an oil change with 0w20 quaker state oil. I checked the oil every 300 miles. By the time I drove 925 miles, the motor had burned about half a quart. I was was elated by this. I decided that I would drive to New Mexico from Houston by way of Dallas. I did an oil change at 293,286 and used Royal purple 5w20. (Figured that the detergent quality of Royal purple couldn't hurt for such a long trip) I drove 925 miles at an average speed of 70mph but up to 85mph for long stretches. I checked the oil level when I arrived to New Mexico. It was completely full. No consumption. I drove back to Houston using the same route. After a little over 1900 miles the dip stick still reads full...... Thoughts?

Provent 200 is supposed to be a great oil catch can/oil separator. Depending how you want to run it. Also nice results from Berryman. Guessing one would have to run a can every other fuel up to keep the rings from sticking. One other thing kinda related, cummins had a TSB for the isx15 with ring sticking and recommended using Valvoline premium blue oil for several oil changes to unstuck the rings and carbon buildup before they updated to carbon scraper liners. My guess is a premium oil would do wonders compared to a conventional oil causing excessive carbon buildup in the rings.

So, I was also burning a LOT of oil in my 187k mile 350 chevy. It was more based on runtime than mileage, so approximately every 3 hours I would burn a quart of oil. Whether it's only 50 miles or 300 miles, 3 hours of runtime would run it from the top of the full to the bottom of the full. Back when it leaked a lot, it would also leak enough after sitting from all that excess pressure to drop below the bottom of the full spot of the dipstick. Used blue devil rear main seal stop leak and it slowed it considerably, but I noticed by patterns that the leak is probably less to do with the rear main seal failing and more to do with a lot of excess pressure in the crankcase. I decided to throw a hail mary at it and use liquimoly engine flush. Ran it 15 minutes instead of 10, otherwise following the instructions, gave it a few revs towards the end just to make sure it was being pushed everywhere with as much pressure as possible. Then I changed the oil, but used a cheaper filter and some supertech synthetic (just using the cheapest stuff possible cause of budget limitations), ran it for 15 more minutes, gave it a few revs towards the end. Then I did a normal oil change, used my normal oil and a high quality filter, added some engine restorer (the copper, silver, lead mix that can be had for relatively cheap). When I tell you that my oil consumption has essentially dropped to nil, I mean it. I overfilled my oil a touch above the top full hash as a precautionary measure, as one who routinely deals with leaks and burning issues might do, and it hasn't even come down to the top of the full mark after roughly 500 miles and SEVERAL heat cycles and driving conditions. I've beat on the car, sent it to 5400 rpm, done several burnouts. Still refuses to lose any oil level. Stopped the leak too. If you wanna give it a shot, I'd definitely recommend trying my method.

@ 27:18 The oil is seeping in from the bottom of the spark plug well, not the upper part that has seals normally replaced with a valve cover gasket set. Spark plug tubes are pressed into the cylinder head and sealed with an anaerobic penetrating liquid. That type is known as non-removable and calls for a head replacement but I've had good results with a low viscosity green threadlocker that wicks in. YT has a video where a guy pulled a vacuum to suck it in. I’ve read that some vehicles use threaded tubes. I’ve seen tubes filled with oil and even witnessed the oil seeping in by merely blowing air across the tube but your seepage is very minor and you’re right, the plug seal stops the oil from entering...until the plug is removed.

Great videos, love the data. I’m assuming since you’re driving at interstate speeds your RPM’s are constantly high around the 3,000 range which causes more repetitions on the engine which causes more wear which causes more oil consumption. I wonder if the fact that you had a full load on the car with three passengers (5 including cat and dog) makes a difference. I’m curious to know if there would be a difference if you drove on the interstate with just the driver (less load) in the car.

It looks like cylinder 3 is the issue. It's not too far off from the others, but definitely has signs of oil burning in it. Hopefully, one of these other treatments can free everything up. Otherwise, it looks like it's one of the seals in piston 3 that is allowing the oil to slip by, and would need replaced. They cylinder walls on all of them look mostly fine, almost mirror-like finish. A light hone, and a ring job would probably fix most of the burning problems. I'm surprised by how clean that intake was. Toyotas never cease to amaze me. Our family has two vehicles with 1MZ-FE engines, and they are still solid after 187k on one, and 240k on the other. My daughter's needed an alternator replaced around 238k (was my old car). It was the factory unit from 1999. Mind boggling sometimes. Very little work needed on them over the years. Mine just recently needed a new thermostat because it was running too cold. I think my catalytic converters are getting clogged though, because my mileage is nowhere near where it should be. I'm getting around 12-13, when I should be getting around 17. I get around 23 on the highway though. It doesn't like city driving apparently.

Regarding the idea that leaking spark plug tube o-ring oil can get past the spark plugs; umm no. The cylinder pressure according to your compression test is about 200PSI (almost 14 times atmospheric pressure), and the oil has to just use 1 times atmospheric pressure, gravity, and capillary action to sneak past the spark plug crush washer, then a labyrinth of interference fit threads down the spark plug. Not a chance. If there was a path for the oil to get past the spark plug threads, you'd have compressed air/fuel mixture going the other way much more readily (14 times the pressure). And then the explosion happens, now your cylinder pressure is more like 300PSI (20 BAR) at light load and 1000PSI (67 BAR (67 times atmospheric pressure)). You'd hear the leak, just before the plugs got spit out of the head. No. Not going to happen.

How much oil is vaporizing under high engine heat conditions? And ya, I guess the oil rings or parts of them could still be gummed up and stuck, so more chemical treatment tests would be kind of interesting to see if it might work instead of piston ring removal and cleaning and drilling in some more oil drain holes behind the ring; but I doubt any chemical would work - hard to soak rings in and engine too, and even then it still likely wouldn't free them up on a soak.

Pretty sure the Corolla is built in Canada. My 02 Celica is Japan built. Same engine otherwise. Burns oil bad. About quart every 50 to 100 miles. Basically junk of not fixed. I tried one barrymans after your video and it did seem to help. Just not much. Maybe a quart every 125 -150 miles. I'll do it again later. I didn't follow the instructions too well and a lot of fluid shot out the cylinder when manually cranking. I forgot about that. I can't easily get to the crank from the top soi had to get on the ground. I am wishing I burnt a quart in 300 miles. From what I have read it's not uncommon for the Celica to burn that much oil. I'm guessing the Japan rings are different. When you take the air duct hose off I cringe because of it doesn't go back on correctly it can really mess up the trims and I'd say your trims are messed up. Id wager it thinks there is too much air when there isn't and it's dumping fuel to compensate. Oil burning screws it up too. Oil burning sucks

Pull the dipstick, let it sit for 5 minutes, insert and check the dipstick. To measure how it goes on the dipstick, print out a grid and use packing tape to protect it so that you can measure where on the grid each 16 oz increment goes.

The pre throttle blade hose is for filtered air going into the engine. The post blade hose is air coming out due to the vacuum behind the blade. It evacuates any unburned hydrocarbons from the crankcase into the combustion chambers. A bad PVV valve can allow too much or not enough flow. Too much will allow oil to be sucked in. Not enough flow can damage seals from too much crankcase pressure. As a side, I would like to see you test a can of “Engine Restore”. Ive tried it and it seemed to help on an old 305 chevy of mine.

I have 1 question, and 1 suggestion: Question - When you are performing a compression test, are you cranking the engine while holding the throttle at fully open (pedal floored?) Suggestion - I know that the oil you are using is a perfectly good oil at a good price, but have you considered using an oil that has a better volatility rating? From what I can find, the volatility rating of the oil you are using is around 12% after the oil is up to temperature for an hour. If 12% of your oil is turning into vapor, and getting sucked into your intake tract and burned at highway speed every hour, that might be part of your oil level drop situation while at highway speeds. Maybe switching to Mobil 1 Extended Performance or Pennzoil Platinum to try an oil on the 8% range might prove beneficial at highway speed results?

i have been researching a bit on how rings and oil return holes are supposed to work. What was puzzling me is how is a cleaning agent get into a stuck ring to clean it. Some say that the cleaning agent cant be done top down because the cleaner cant get to the rings. But looking at how piston rings work it should be able to. What got me thinking here is that on my cylinder 4 the fluid was not draining the same as the other cylinders. the fluid stayed deep over the piston for many hours. It was also my worst looking cylinder. oil wise but i could see no scorch marks on the cylinder. cross hatching looked ok. If the cylinder had a score spot then the fluid should drip though that. Why wasnt it going down. it should. my guess is that the ring gaps were clogged. this is my take from all the learning i did about rings an 1zzfe pistons. the piston rings have gaps and its substantial. well enough space for a liquid to go though at least slowly. Those gaps are placed around the piston in a particular way on the 1zzfe. the front of the engine is where the belts,, pullys, and such are located. there is a dot on the top of the piston that should face that way. so if looking at the engine standing in from of the belts and such the left of the engine faces the rear of the car. according to the toyota spec and some rebuild videos i watched, top compression ring is to left, back of the car. second compresssion ring is to the back of the engine, drive side wheel. the oil rings are more complicated because there are three gap. a top and bottom retainer ring and the oil control ring itself but they dont work quire the same way. compression gasses are supposed to go through these gaps and get behind the compression rings and push them against the cylinder wall. if the rings are gummed up and the compression gass cant get behind the ring it wont have good compression. the oil return rings behave in a similar manner where the internal engine pressure is suppose to push the ring against the wall through those holes. I dont know exactly how that works. in that the holes are supposed to push against the rings and allow oil to escape through them? Maybe during the various strokes. Like in power stroke the back pressure increases and during exhaust and intake its reduced. So i guess acts like a pump. if the oil ring is gummed up and the oil return holes are clogged how does the fluid reach them in a top down manner? I assume it goes through the compression ring gaps. as the engine is normally at a slight tilt toward the back of the car and so is the top ring gap, it would drain through that hole. possibly fill it up and then drain out the 2nd ring gap facing the driver side wheel. Then gravity would drain it allong the back of the piston. In your videos that is where the gunk piled up after manually moving the crank. so i have a feeling that when doing a top down treatment it may be important to position the engine so tha the fluid gets a better spread. It might be important have the car at an angle so that driver side wheel is at the highest point. That i guess would make the fluid fill the gap between 1st and 2nd ring and then come out of the 2nd ring gap if there was enough of it. gravity would then drip the fluid more completely around the piston along with seepage through the second ring all around. Thats just my hairbrained idea after researching. it likely doesnt matter where the gap is as maybe there is enough space between ring and cylinder that it just ignores the gap. My cylinder 4 says different but... maybe there was something else making is seal in the fluid. residual oil sealing the rings or something.

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY I uh.. A. Try to explain as I understand to try and make sure my understanding is correct. B. I don't want to use 1quart every 100 miles. Lol.

4th treatment I think... Up to 150-175 miles a quart. Progress but it's a little disheartening as it's so small. However it does seem to be a consistent improvement. Last time I got 150 miles immediately after treatment then it went back to 100. My thinking there is the it loosened and stuff but got plugged again. On the other hand I feel the car has more power ("baby" for donut) stronger in the low end gears. Smoother power. I am wondering if the oil consumption improvement is because the compression rings are working better and the oil ring still isn't really doing anything. I looked at the cylinder walls again and they look ok to my eyes. Clear cross hatching and no score marks. Need to do a compression test but the engine feels good. This time cylinder 1 wasn't draining fluid and was hitting miss fires on the drive. There seems to be a connection between not draining and the misfires. Again after the first treatment the car starts easy after treatment and doesn't run as badly on the drive. Something is changing. I'm a little worried about hitting miss fires on the drive at high rpm. I'm sure that's not good for the motor. Next time I'm going to try doing this. Add B12. Wait for drain. Idle for 20 minutes and repeat. Change oil and add seafoam to the new oil. B12 is too aggressive to drive around on so the company says. Whereas seafoam recommends adding a little to the oil for normal driving. My concern is the oil rings and the oil return holes. How does the treatment reliably get to those places. As I understand it the oil return holes aren't touched by compression but by oil pressure. Another idea I was mulling over if if compression would help the B12 drain. If I found the compression stroke. Add B12. Put the plug back in and manually press the crank. If that might force the B12 through the rings. Vapor lock I don't think would be an issue turning the crank by hand. Then remove the plug and check for drain. I am also a little worried about B12 getting into the valves during manual crank in the treatment. It would flow in the cat and intake. That might be bad

I'm rooting for you. Sound like you have a worst case scenario, so if you can fix it with treatments, that will speak multitudes. The Seafoam site actually recommends (like you mention) putting the plugs back in and turning the crank to use compression to force the chemical into the rings.

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY huh. Well I guess my thinking is on the right track. There is so much information and misinformation on this stuff. All I can say is that it does make a difference but it's not an immediate magic cure. Not for me. Not yet. Again thanks for your videos. I wish I had known this would have an effect with my last oil burner. This one is just burning so bad it really can't be just lived with. I'd like to see how the fluid moves through the rings. X-ray vision would be nice here.

Thicker oil lasts longer. The same reason that city driving at lower oil temps does not use as much oil as highway trips where the oil gets up to 200* and is thinner. Thicker oils does take a little more power to run the engine.
