What happens if you fill your motor with ACID?

In this video we try a new way of killing a Lada engine - replacing the motor oil with acid. Will this do away with a generally very hard to kill motor?

[@LeSarthois]

@@georgerosebush9754 It is a water bottle, you can see the word VODA (water) on it (and yes, that's one letter away form vodka) Though, the rest of the sticker looks technical, so it may be demineralized water (for use in cloth iron for example) (still not a clever idea to put acid in it...) As for having acid, I'm not too surprised they have it around a garage (acid is pretty generic as a technical term... I mean, vinegar is an acid too). Acid can be used in several way; for costly or quick fix, they simply could have battery acid to rebuilt older batteries, or they might had gotten this acid from older batteries. Edit : Well I wrote that before watching till the end and he says "don't put electrolyte in your motor" so it's battery acid they used. So they definitively have a legit reason to have acid around.

use engine oil pressure to drive hydraulic tools

[@gabrielvieira6529]

Cool idea, but the oil would have to be overfilled...

[@nicusor86]

somewhere I read that some hydraulic lifters can be filled with normal 10w40 too instead if the rare sae-something.

[@nickoloes]

An engine oil pump puts out maybe 80 psi, probably a lot less for a shitty lada 4 banger. Good luck driving any tools and even if you could you would be starving the engine with the diverted flow

[@AiOinc1]

@@nickoloes Most cars will never see that much pressure due to their relief valve.

[@fastinradfordable]

AIO inc. not true. Cold starts can easily approach 100psi on many engines. On vw Vr6 as the oil control valve wears the oil pressure generally creeps up with mileage. The oil pressure goes up and up and eventually over pressurized the chain tensioner that causes the timing chain guides to break. Very common to see 110psi+ cold oil pressure on a 150k mile engine. 80psi air pressure isn’t much force. Air is soft. 80psi hydronic oil pressure can shoot a hole through your skin.

Next motor, try running oil as a substitute for your antifreeze coolant

[@The.Plague]

I'd like to see them try running acid as coolant and see how long they can drive around until something gives.

[@RaveOfNightmares]

@@The.Plague a fair amount of types of antifreeze contain one or another form of acid. When used correctly, it acts as an anti-corrosive for the coolant galleries. Used incorrectly, such as allowing Dex-cool to age in the system for too long, will corrode the cooling passages and cause other problems.

[@jasontrewin123]

wow. I really like this channel. Peace from USA. Keep up the great vids! Thanks to bmi translation

[@TheJademan85]

[@stoyandimitrov9352]

Another idea- add some base to the oil in order to produce soap and then check if the engine will be cleaner :D

[@karolwojtyla3047]

What happens if you fill your motor with RBMK reactor core fuel rods. xD

[@BillDerr]

The reason it works is that the seals dry out and shrink over time. If you keep putting oil on it, it'll keep the seals from drying out, which prevents the sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas from escaping and reacting with the water vapor in the air, causing the corrosion on the terminals. Just because oil and plastic came from the same base compound, that doesn't make them the same or have the same reactive properties. Plastic is a different chemical compound completely.

[@kcooga]

I love this channel 👏

[@markiangooley]

So the acid is electrolyte, which I guess means it’s sulfuric, the acid used in lead-acid batteries though perhaps a different concentration?

[@skozer22]

I was hoping you guys would spray it real quick with a pressure washer to get off some of the residue and then do an oil change (also get some oil on the cylinder walls) to see if it would then start.

[@NFSATALLA]

This guy is more safety-conscious than many certified workers

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Looking forward to watching your video, in spite of nothing dramatic to expect. Most acids have an excellent thermal conductivity and a high boiling point, so is in principle a better coolant than water. However, freezing points are quite high, so perhaps not suitable for use in Russia. You will pretty soon have to deal with corrosion, and most acids will foul up the radiator with calcium. So not an ideal choice... 🤓 Edit : Having watched the video...... "DOH!!!" 😅
