[@jdiddy2314]

Scotty if that is the 1zz-fe motor, there was a TSB on those engines. What happened is Toyota mis-engineered the piston. What can be done is you order the new pistons and oil control ring or you pull the pistons drill one or two more holes in the pistons, or maybe open up the existing holes and then modify the oil control ring with more of a gap to allow more oil flow. The restriction of oil ended up excessively building up carbon and causing the oil control rings to seize and then the oil couldn't regulate the temps and, hence, the oil burn. Supposedly, Mobil One Full sythetic works best, I have ran Castrol Edge full synthetic for over 10 years and it's a amazing oil that's doesn't shear and handle the heats great but doesn't suspend and clean carbon like Mobil One does. I've owned my Corolla for almost 13 years. When I switched to Mobil One from Castrol Edge because I couldn't get it, I did end up having a leak near my chain tensioner. Mobil One full synthetic also demonstrated it's cleaning ability immediately vs Castrol Edge full synthetic. I would recommend to anyone who has the tools, time, and the ability to fix the piston and ring problem or just run Mobil One Full synthetic and possibly every once in a while run Marvel MMO in the last fews miles of a oil change! 👍

[@daveheiskala7007]

Thank you Scotty Kilmer.

[@damoncrowfeather4655]

Some of these newer engines that use low tension piston rings are consuming loads of oil. The problem is ppl are being told they can go 10 thousand miles or more between oil changes, and the oil ring gets gunked-up and freezes in place allowing the oil to blow by. The answer to this is to use a quality oil, and change your oil every 5 thousand miles.

[@mikeram5308]

Scotty really makes understanding technical mechanical issues so Fun 😂👏💯

[@wsbill14224]

The cylinder wear you showed us 5:35 into this video is from the piston skirt rubbing the cylinder, not the rings. That's a classic piston skirt mark.

If you want to fix it you can look into the engine restore with the copper lead and silver that seals a lot of the grooves and the cylinder wall and the trick in 2-stroke small engines and if you like in your car put some inside the cylinder with a syringe and the spark plugs out and run it up and down to coat it and it works really fast then just never put in something like a 7.3 l Diesel with a high pressure oil pump you will screw your injectors and everything else but that is an unusual case

[@davidwhiteley3879]

As usual Scotty knows what he is talking about! Worked on aircraft engines and we used borescopes ALL THE TIME. In fact, engines have borescope access ports as part of their design. I'm sure airframes do as well. Found out borescopes were affordable a couple of years ago and bought one. It is indispensable for inspecting areas on your car that you cannot access without removing quite a few parts. It has helped me eliminate potential problem sources and locate the actual problem. I've also used it to inspect many items around the house (gas furnace, sump pump, interior of walls, etc). I also agree with Scotty in that I wish it had the bendable "finger" tip.

I have a liftime powertrain warranty on my 09 ram with hemi. Recently noticed massive oil consumption, about 1 qt every 1,000 miles. It holds 7 qts. Took it to the dealer, they did an oil consumption test and confirmed that i was in fact burning about 1qt every 1,000 miles. Thats when they busted out a tech bulletin from chrysler saying that its acceptable/“normal” for any engine over 50,000 miles to burn up to 1qt every 750 miles. So they wouldnt do anything. And my first thought was “my oil changes are every 3,000 miles so its “normal” to burn 4 qts of oil? Thats over half!!” And thinking of the 2013+ rams, their interval in 6,000 miles for oil changes so chrysler is saying it would be normal for them to burn 8 qts of oil, which is all of the oil and then some. I mean, seriously?!? They are out of their minds.

HELP. Hi Scotty I really enjoyed the knowledge and awareness you push with regards to car repairs etc. I would also like you help in addressing an issue that I am currently experiencing with my Mazda 3 (2006) Axela. So let me share the issue I was driving and the engine check light came on. I got it scanned and I was informed that the knock sensor needs to be replaced. The sensor was replaced however after this process the car start idle rough ,vibrating and the brakes was not working as it should. Also what I should have mentioned earlier a strange heat was coming from the back seat and the floor panel was hot. I decided to start the car and peek underneath only to see the catalytic converter glowing red. I have to take the car to another mechanic now to address the catalytic converter issue but what I can't understand why is the car idle rough and vibrating when it stops or in park.

[@jake321able]

Internal combustion engines, require unhindered air flow into and out of engine. If catalytic converter is plugged, broken...air flow is reduced going out, so less going into engine, so engine does not operate correctly. Scotty has videos on this, and can be checked by measuring the pressure going into and out of catalytic converter, as engine operates. Usually, this is measured by removing sensors, before & after converter, one at the time and using a pressure gauge installed into the hole where the sensor was...Not a mechanic, but hope this helps.
