Ok... here's what just happened to my son's car. He took it in to a fly by night place to have the oil changed. When he got the car back it wasn't shifting well, and the check engine light was on. Upon further inspection, the quickie oil change Einsteins drained the transmission fluid and put double the amount of oil in. This is how engines get too much oil... this is why you always do your own oil changes!
@oceanbytez8476 ай бұрын
You can still get oil changes done by others, but pick competent people. Don't go somewhere that pays highschool kids or freshly graduated from highschool kids minimum wage to give oil changes. Basically, you get what you pay for, and so do those businesses. Go to a real mechanic. If you don't trust them to do a timing adjustment on your car then they don't need to be touching it at all.

I had a customer that liked to “self medicate for recreational purposes” come into a Mazda dealer I was working at with an excessive smoking issue and lack of power. Him and his stoner buddies had changed the oil and filled it up. Literally filled the engine up. 10 ish quarts of oil in a 2.3L Mazda 4 banger. It was blowing oil out of the egr valve and had torched a hole through the plastic intake manifold, charcoaled the exhaust manifold and down pipe. Also the words you were looking for are drill shavings. Spiraled up metal looking like that are drill shavings. Keep fighting the good fight Eric. Love your channel.

I HATE how manufacturers are doing away with dipsticks. My 2020 Chev Colorado did not come with a dipstick for the trans. I bought an aftermarket one (yes you can get one made for your vehicle) and had it installed. When I check the oil and trans fluid I am not just looking at the level, I am also looking at the condition of the oil/fluid (especially the trans as I do a lot of hauling and towing). When I had the trans dipstick installed I was having the trans fluid changed. We discovered that the dealership had overfilled the trans when checking the fluid levels during the normal oil change. (fluid should just barely come out of the check fill hole, it poured out a quart over what it was supposed to have). I am so happy to be able to check the fluid properly now. I call the warning lights on the dash idiot lights, cause they only tell you about a problem after it becomes a problem and the damage is already done

It did have a good amount of sludge but the oil pump was still operational and there was no reason for it to lock up. It locked up three rod bearings so fast that it did not even put metal in the engine. You read that correctly nothing else got hurt... the cams, heads and all were fine. It locked up quickly which actually made it repairable. The rings were awful and it had signs of oil consumption. I installed new pistons, 3 new rods and turned the crank. It ran like new. As of now it has around 40k on the rebuild. I will say I had a hard time finding rods and also with pistons due to the factory installing .5mm over pistons from the factory.

Also 30 bolts a side isn't anything special for an old design, a sbc has 17 bolts per side that's 4.25 per cylinder, so x6 and a v12 sbc would have 25.5 bolts per side.

35:02 The proper term for the residue from drilling or machining operations is: SHAVING OR CHIP. As the cutting tool or part rotates against the cutting edge of the tool, a corkscrew-like SHAVING is produced. When machining brittle (such as brass or cast/ductile iron) or hardened material, a chip is formed. For machining operations, you don't want a lot of corkscrew-shaped shavings, they take up a lot of space are hard to handle and the shavings get wrapped around the work or the chuck or the drill. The ideal shaving breaks up into small chips, the chips are easily handled with a shovel.

My grandfather was given the keys to a car that just had a motor job done. Told to deliver it and another guy would swing by and pick him up. When he got there it smelled wrong. So he opened the hood and found the radiator missing. He drove the car right back to the dealership. Said it was glowing and you could see the outline of the cylinders. So they told the customer that parts had been delayed and did the job over. Even 70 years ago. Things went wrong.

I do not think too much oil caused this. I worked in new car make ready at a Chevrolet dealer when I was young. We received cars all the time that were double filled with oil off the assembly line. Nothing what so ever happened. This damage most likely was caused by no oil. Very interesting video. Nicely done. I would say the customer drained the oil blew the engine then refilled it. There would be an overfill message on the information screen if the engine was over filled. By the looks of the internal cleanliness of this engine it appears it was otherwise well maintained. Most likely insurance fraud all the way.

I understand the reason why oil aerates when the crank runs through it when over filled. However, it would have to be very substantial since the the windage tray and oil pump area were in the way. I would think it started having trouble, and someone tried to quiet it with over filling. Also maybe it had already started knocking from the oil leak and they just over filled it? I think you would have to measure the oil level in the pan in relation to the crankshaft weights.

Eric just found out your channel !An interesting engine strip. The lion engine needs regular oil changes and done pre scheduled services. Euro 6 regs kind of killed the reliability of the engine so a euro 5 motor is probably the better model. DPF regen dumps fuel to clean the DPF and the fuel ends up going in the dump diluting the engine oil hence when stripping you find lots of engine oil in the sump. To find 9 litres in the sump is not uncommon! Regular short oil changes stops the oil dilution from killing the engine.

This could be a bad oil level sensor. If the sensor tells the dashboard to say that it's low, you keep adding oil. I, and many others would prefer a manual dipstick. I had a 2006 BMW 330i that had a bad one. It drove me crazy. So, draining it once a month and measuring how much was there would tell me the accurate level. And I did find that I was losing about half a quart a month from just seeping gaskets. Crazy things we do for our cars.

When I did, I thought the wrong dipstick was in the motor. The oil was about halfway up. I got underneath to drain it and see - and I quickly overfilled a traditional oil pan. I took about 12 quarts of oil out of the motor. Had to store it in a 5 gallon fuel can. Brought it back to the dealership to complain, they checked it out, made note, etc and sent me on my way. Motor ran fine up to about 86k or so when I traded it in. I can only assume I got one of those Monday or Friday motors, or right during a shift change at the plant and my motor got two factory fills.

@@Ghauster Honestly FoMoCo quality control practices *improved* Jaguar considerably on the X308 model XJ compared to the X300 model XJ as far as I know. That's how bad Jaguar manufacturing and quality control was before... British Leyland were not really known for exemplary quality control. More like using outdated production equipment and using tooling until it breaks, instead of replacing it before it starts to deviate from spec. IIRC, Ford invested heavily in upgrading the Jaguar factory with more modern equipment and machinery that would allow for more repeatable and consistent quality. "Never thought Ford would be part of a Jag as a kid." Previously with the Jaguar inline-six and V12, Jaguar had gone of their way to make sure that the standard Rover V8 would not fit, less a Jaguar have the indignity of a Rover (Oldsmobile) engine! So the XJ chassis had to be redesigned and widened for the X308 when Ford wanted to move Jaguar to the V8 engine shared with the Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird and so on (which Jaguar had much design input in of course, IIRC).

I have the exact same engine in a Range Rover Sport and I know early owners manuals had printed the wrong oil capacity at around 6 quarts for the V6 in the oil specification section. The correct amount is approx 8.5 quarts for RRS and you can confirm this on the digital oil level gauge. If you put only 6 quarts in it doesn’t even register on the gauge. Remember the engine block casting and sump are shared with the larger V8 so it makes sense the capacities would be similar between the V6 and V8. I could see a scenario where a quick change oil shop may have the wrong capacities in their database. Plus if you are using non-Jag or LR approved oil not meeting the factory spec and certifications that could lead to issues long term as these are very tight tolerance engines.

I had an oil change and after checked the oil and it was at least a quart over. I went back in and talked to the people and they said the book says 5. I had them check "again" and they came back and said "oh yeah, it does take 4" I paint pen marked that it only took 4 on the core support after that. The over filling pressurized the crankcase, and after nearly 200k miles of being a quart over, they blew seals. We had a few engines get inspection ports because of it. That, and because the low oil light comes on with a half quart in the crank case. Why Toyota, why...?
