Had good luck with Marvel Mystery Oil. I run it in the oil for 3000 miles. It's not instant, but over time, it seems to work, judging from dropping the oil pan and looking before and after. Sea Foam or Chem Tool added to the oil probably would work, if you needed it cleaned quickly.

[@lisat9707]

I Love this video! It definitely proves it cleaned out a tonne of gunk. That said i would love to see a before and after Engine boroscope comparison like has been done on other channels. The best part was they went so far as to buy a bunch of the product they found worked great and send it to a bunch of different subscribers for them to test and send back results. I love that approach. Thing is the method he used to do it is tricky if you aren't a mechanic. They have a different application method but i dont know how well it works since it was never tested. I like this stuff but i can't find it to buy it here😢

[@mungox1]

Scotty made a video dated Aug 17,2018. he said to NEVER flush the engine oil. First, modern detergent oil keeps the engine clean enough. Second if there is any sludge broken loose it can clog oil galley holes that can destroy the engine. He gave an example of a Toyota with VVT running poorly after a flush clogged the solenoids. Also the oil seals can start to leak. So what is it ? Flush the oil or not ?

I have my family ford everest 2011 and this 10th year of its service to me and my family old age has taken over especially to it's engine. I love this car so much, this car has witnessed all my ups and down and I want to kip it forever in a good condition, but bringing it to the mechanic sometimes it cost more money and time. And then I have seen your videos and gives me more information that is very educational and applicable to the current situation of our car. Salute to ur dedication and love for cars I am forever grateful.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic what an amazing super clean oil for any German car.... My BMW's engine 5 series F10 at almost 200k miles has that inside engine looking like brand new, so clean and no sludge/grime or carbon whatsoever! No wonder BMW made the switch from Castrol (Japanese) to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oil... Second best to Amsoil..... and way cheaper than the rest...

Used the oil treatment for an oil flush. 2014 F150 coyote engine 90k mi. Ran the idle at 2500 for 15 mins. Pistons did do some knocking. Didn't see much in the oil draining as far as really black or having particulates. Currently running some Kirkland synthetic in it and will drain it at about 500 mi. I did pour two cans of the gas treatment into the fuel tank on yesterday's fill up with 87. Tank holds 26 gals. I was getting like 13.8 around town before putting this in the tank. Haven't driven it much since then but fuel mileage monitor looks to be saying I'm getting over 17.5 with this stuff in the tank. A little too soon to tell and keep in mind I used two cans. I will post again in a couple weeks with an update.

2.0 tfsi has notoriously loud injector ticking sound that is very noticeable on idle, however I suspect a little timing chain rattle on this particular one

[@archiedentone5950]

Precisely and I and just about any actual mechanic is at a loss just how any oil treatments or cleaners would effect noise in this and most cases.

[@timnz009]

I ran a oil cleaner through my old car which had a timing chain, and afterwards it loosened so much carbon and build up, and the timing chain actually got very noisy, due to thr carbon and sludge buildup being remove (which was obviously dampening the timing chain noise).

[@MrLaloman18]

@@timnz009 Yes and that's when you go with a thicker oil, the max your car is aloud to take! For example, BMW's are mostly 5w-30 but the max it can take and this is a must if you have a sport BMW is 5w-40 no more than that, it's a healthy thickness for them engine design!

[@whormigaproductions3662]

That's the FSI BPY timing belt engine. That was before the TFSI CCTA chain engine you are talking about. It does have a small chain in the back that connects the cams only but not the cam to crank. Those usually failed after 140k range. This engine had a lot of bulletins, recalls, and campaigns relating to oil consumption and noise. Scotty has no idea about German cars and should stick to the Asian market which he knows.

[@natestrand4922]

The 2005-2008.5 model GTI’s don’t use a timing chain, they use a belt. I know this because I recently replaced the timing belt on my 2007 GTI.

Hi Scotty, good job with the car. I have the same car and I must to say that it's noisy too... When I change for my self the oil and the filter it makes less noise during about 1.500 miles. After that, the car pump up the engine volume... My car car has 110.000 miles and one thing I don't like it's the engine sound. In spite of that it's a good looking car, I love the handling and "power" for the price. Great videos

Scotty - I have solved the oil burning issue on the volvo SI6 engines (two of them). I added Techron to the engine oil for about 8K miles (2 oil changes). Both went from using 2-3 quarts between oil changes to using less than 1/2 a quart between changes. One car was purchased with 131K miles and the other was around 100K. I have gotten in the habit of adding any gas treatment that is heavy in PEA to the oil every 3rd or 4th oil change. So far so good. I do not have an oil burner in the stable now; other than 3 diesels :)

I took YOUR advice and used the ATS Oil and fuel additive. AMAZING! After running it for 15-20 minutes, change the oil. It runs like a sewing machine! With almost zero vibration, the performance improved significantly. It's the best $60 I put into this thing. I purchased it in 2016 for $1100 to tow behind our RV. It is now my daily driver and gets 32mpg. I love it now more than ever. Thank you for promoting a product that actually works! Good on you!

It would be more impressive it Scotty had first drained the oil, refilled it with whatever was the cheapest, then put in the additive, ran it for 15 minutes, and then showed us what that oil looked like when it drained out. What I saw looked black, but it could have been because of the just cleaned-out carbon, or maybe it was oil that had many, many miles on it.

[@ethand5672]

Old engines generally have black oil even at normal change intervals

[@timnz009]

Adding a cleaner to your oil which has a solvent in it can be a harsh cleaner, and remove too much hard carbon I'm chunks, a better option is to change the oil, use a diesel rated oil, which has much stronger detergents in it, and then change after a few hundred miles

[@garzascreek]

Yes, It is simply the replacement of the old oil that changed the sound. It would have happened without the additive.

Hey Scotty it's your from NJ i have to tell I've been a mechanic all my life and it is so nice to hear from another Honest mechanic out here . i have worked for shops in the past that would do anything or any little trick to make more money . i have had to walk from shops in the past because i couldn't stand their dishonesty towards their customers. Keep up the good work . Oh p.s. ; i have an 04 Acura MDX with 240k miles and it still runs great so i gave it to my daughter and i bought an 2017 MDX for myself. best decision ive made in a while lol

Hey Scotty, love your videos, very helpful stuff! I have a 1995 SEv6 Nissan Pathfinder with lower than typical mileage, but you know, still a lot of miles. Suffers from the typical lifter ticking noise. I was wondering what you would recommend for an oil additive or treatment. A mechanic suggested a concentrate a couple days ago DTTF or something which contains stuff to protect machined bits that newer motors don't require. Also, Lucasoil etc. I don't want to do more harm than good as it still runs so reliably. I only use it in warmer months for camping etc. I'd appreciate your advice.

[@C-130-Hercules]

Are you sure it’s lifter noise or is that the sound of the injectors? 🤔

[@mattleonard5268]

The pathfinder is an overhead cam engine which means it doesn’t have lifters. Not an insult, just a piece of information. I recommend marvel mystery oil used as suggested (20% of oil capacity for the extent of oil change interval), based on my personal experience.

[@C-130-Hercules]

Injectors are so loud on the current Toyota Tacoma 3.5L … literally sounds like metal on metal ticking like an engine with bad lifters. Yes it’s an OHC also. Get a mechanics stethoscope 🩺… you’ll be there all day listening to everything. No more guessing. Move the probe around and hear exactly what makes what noise.

[@RPD91]

7:17 absolutely!!! If you can find an Elentra in great shape for $4k I would say get it. As long as it's the N/A 2.0 6 speed automatic. A tank of small car really reliable.

Hi Scott. I've had vw s all my life. With cars over 350k no problems. Never had issues unlike Japanese cars never drives as wel

[@timnz009]

The results of removing carbon buildup on the rings are not going to be noticeable until you compare fuel economy, or do a dyno before and after, or by comparing the amount of blowby before and after... Scotty should know this !! The revs increasing at a fixed throttle setting could be the volatile solvents burning with combustion.

[@MEAMERIE]

My 2013 Hyundai Elantra limited has 178k miles on it and still runs fine. I drive it hard and used to drive uber in it. It does have a class action for the engine but my engine hasn’t had any issues. Car is holding up well considering all it’s been through.

[@t.trekkeroo2325]

Years ago they used Marvel's Mystery Oil, for and engine flush - to clean out any sludge or carbon. I just changed the oil in my truck and put the recommended 1 quart of Marvel's, to clean the top end. I also added a can of the new SeaFoam for high mileage vehicles, to 1/4 tank of gas. Took it on the highway and holy moly it got more power and a quicker response ! Unbelievable ! For around $10 bucks !

[@t.trekkeroo2325]

@Polymer Tools I had my other truck motor apart after 150,000 miles, and regular oil changes. There was about a quart of carbon I pulled out of the top end. But who knows for sure. I've got 140,000 on this truck now, so I figured to clean out the top end now. Its not something I'd do very often - for sure.

[@welcometothedollarshow444]

[@t.trekkeroo2325]

@@craig_sez8534 yep. More power from where it was BEFORE the treatment. As for the Sea-foam, there are 5 or 6 different types. I used the 'High Milage Truck' to clean the ethanol gunk out of the injectors and off of any other parts. There are dozens of products that claim to clean auto parts the same way. I've had good luck with S.foam, but you should use what you feel comfortable with.

[@ChessIsJustAGame]

As a technical engineer who has spent 40+ years designing tests and experiments, I suggest a second try on a different car but check or replace the oil before starting so you know oil was clean before you start the treatment.

I have a friend with an Elantra and he has 225k on it and still going strong. He's the original owner though, and a fair shade tree mechanic, so he changes his own oil, brakes, tune ups etc. People who know how to do those things themselves, tend to take better care of their cars than people who don't. Personally, I think that's a decent price especially today with new and used car shortages.

[@lisat9707]

True. But you do get what you pay for. 99% of people cant or dont do their own maintenance. Of those people at least here anyway 50% go to the dealership and do everything they say. 20% have a good mechanic. And 30% drive it till somthing goes wrong and it wont go anymore. Then they take it in😅. For the 50% that go to the dealership and pay those crazy insanely high markups...... would have been allot cheaper to buy a new toyota and drive it into the ground with only basic oil and filter changes a couple times a year😂
