Have a couple of recalls to take care of & will get the all done before do the same thing as you have done. I might d9 1x Sludge removal & the a straight forward engine flush. This all depends on how she drives after the first sludge removal. If zero difference then as you have just done throw another sludge remover in to the engine.

I would allow gradual engine cleaning using Mobil Super 5000 on those Toyotas if you can get it and change every 3000-5000 km. Otherwise the best Mobil Super you can get, like the 2000 stuff you have. This allows any seals that have been covered up by sludge to gradually come into contact with fresh oil and the normal amount of seal sweller in it. Always when it comes time to change the oil, only after a good 15 minute plus highway run. All sorts of stuff just falls out at drain time that otherwise may be hung up on things above.

I did this on my 2006 Lancer but ended up spending too much on Liqui Moly, Engine oil and all. It was cheaper to remove the top cover and oil drain pan. Clean what you can by hand. We ended up overhauling the engine anyway and it looks super clean compared to 2023 cars now. Looks brand new. Aluminum color can be seen. No signs of oil sludge whatsoever. For my 2020 Hyundai Accent, I am no longer buying a Liqui Moly flush and just changing the oil more often now. We have a cheaper engine oil flush solution. After 1000km, I will just have the oil changed after pouring the cheap engine flush that isn't Liqui Moly. Usually after about 3 engine flushes, the oil always comes out clean.

@@DIYAutoworksNG I agree with bdtaylor1979. I too, highly recommend the Platinum Synthetic with pure plus technology from Pennzoil. I mostly drive older japanese cars with high mileage. In 2020, I bought an '02 camry with 200k mi. Fortunately, it didn't have any leaking or sludge, and it didn't burn any oil. But I could tell that previous owners had neglected the car by going past the oil change interval reguarly when I changed the valve cover gasket. I used a new filter & clean cheap oil with a flushing solution just to make sure. When I changed the oil again after the flush, I used the Pure plus High Mileage synthetic(aka: Platinum synthetic) with a Wix Xp filter, and the car ran so much smoother, and even regained some power! I also ran the same high mileage synthetic in my '95 accord ex for the 3yrs I owned it. The accord had 350k mi., and It was one of the first cars to have VTEC, But it was only on the intake side since it was a SOHC. I took it to a mechanic friend to make sure the VTEC was in proper adjustment since I was using the accord as a delivery vehicle at the time, and was averaging 100-150mi./day. Shortly after dropping off the car at his shop, my friend called me demanding to know what oil I had been running. In his decades of turning wrenches as a professional mechanic, He had never seen an engine with such high mileage that had a valvetrain that still looked so new & unworn. I found out that the Ultra Platinum/Pure Plus technology synthetic line from pennzoil has natural gas as a base instead of crude oil like the other synthetics, so not only is the detergent additives really good, and even the vapors generated from driving around have cleaning properties. In the 3yrs I daily driven the accord, I never touched the PCV valve, or flushed the engine. When I went to pick up the accord, my mechanic friend showed me pictures of the valvetrain, the PCV valve, and the inside of the valve cover. All of them looked spotless & new. Since then, that's the only oil I've ran in all my cars, and my family members cars with excellent results. I never go past 5k mi. with my change intervals. I used to run mobil1 synthetic, but it never got the same improvements in performance results as the Pure Plus synthetics from Pennzoil. I was thinking about tying out the Dynamic Platinum Engine Restoration Service kit from BG in one of my other cars. You can find it on amazon for $300(USD) which I agree, is very expensive. I've heard really promising results. I also found out from Ford Boss Me that the 'rinse oil' from the restoration kit comes in smaller cans of flush called 'EPR', and is actually the more aggressive cleaners between the 2 flushes in BG's restoration kit. And am interested in seeing for myself how well it works for another old toyota I drive. Thanks for the videos, DIY!!

I have had a failure of all 4 rod bearings in a 1ZZ at 64K miles because the pickup was clogged. This happened because of excessive RTV use. The oil light didn't come on once. You need to take the pan off to be 100% sure there is no clog. The oil light doesn't come on until the pressure is under 4psi - meaning damage can easily be done without it turning on at basically anything beyond idle.

Good video overall, but i would really recommend against prefilling your oil filter. You are creating an unnecessary risk of having foreign debris on the output side of your filter (meaning it hasnt been filtered), which can potentially go straight to your main bearings (crank bearings), causing increased wear, clogging/restricted flow, both of which can cause premature failure. While I havent personally seen this happen (I NEVER prefill my filters), I have heard of it from colleagues I trust. If you want to prime the filter before starting the car in question, I would either disconnect the fuel electronically (injectors or high pressure fuel pump), or simple just press the accelerator all he way to the floor, to enable anti-flood mode, which will disable the fuel system, and allow you to prime the engine, without having the engine running. Thats my take on it anyway 😊 Best regards A fully educated mechanic and educated Nissan technician

It is a good oil, in fact it is Mobil's best non-full synthetic oil. It is actually semi-synthetic. It is cheap because it is manufactured here in Nigeria, hence it is very easy to get the original one. The synthetic oils you see in the market are much more expensive because they are imported & you may also be buying a fake product. A genuine Mobil 1 in the US is almost two times cheaper than what it sells for down here.

is this considered risky considering it can clean a sludge that prevented a leak..is this the same as a professional flush or is that a totally different method?..because they warn about any flushes.

Sludge is not good for an engine. If, after flushing you notice a leak, get it fixed. Regularly removing carbon and or sludge will give you many more years of happy motoring 👍😀

The jury is definitely out on flushes - the 2 schools of thought; For vs Against. As you can tell, I'm in the 'For' camp. Sludge if left will eventually starve critical components of lubrication/hydraulic pressure, leading to engine wear and failure. As @BandiMasha states, I'd rather fix the leak. However if its a car you want to ride out till its death, then probably no need to flush.

Sieht danach immer noch bescheiden aus. 😢 Wie kann man einen Motor aber auch nur so vergammeln lassen?! Ich würde 2 bis 3 Ölwechsel hinereinander mit Billigöl machen und jeweils dazwischen ein paar Hundert km fahren, am Anfang weniger, nachher mehr. Vor dem Ölwechsel jeweils 500 ml Diesel in den Motor, 10 Minuten warmlaufen lassen, dann Öl ablassen. Kerosin geht auch, ist günstiger als so manche Oilflush-Produkte. Zum Schluss gutes Markenöl einfüllen und spätestens alle 12...15 Tausend km wechseln.

if for any reason you think an engine needs an engine flush. it's alrready too late. you shouldnt flush it. you take the rocker cover off and sump pan of and manually clean it yourself - put the sttuff back in, put good new oil amnd drive it for 3-4000 miles. then repeat the step. Why? modern engines have tiny nozzles and tubes throughout the engine, have pickup tubes with mesh on one end. those tubes can get clogged if you use an engine flush and loosen clumps of sludge from whereever theyve been hiding in the engine.

Very fair points. However, a number of things can come together and make you have sludge even in a 5000 mile oil change schedule. For this car it was an oil leak plus a clogged PCV valve. Also note that some engines are prone to sludge due to poor design. See www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/car-parts-and-accessories/engine-sludge/index.htm

Deisel acts like a poor man's engine flush, mechanics have used this for years. Deisel doesn't evaporate easily though, so remnants may remain in the oil and thin it for a long time. Whether this is good or bad long term I can't say, because any deisel engine will have small amounts of fuel in the oil anyway from normal seapage past the piston rings. My understanding is most commercial engine flushes are kerosene or naphtha based which should evaporate off after a few cycles of normal engine use.

First: how can you allow your engine to be this dirty? Then engine flush is useless and I will explain why. If you got decent car and you change your oil max every 10k km or 6,5k miles you don't need it cause why? Engine covers and internals should be clean. If you got this shit in engine and you will use engine flush you can clog your oil passages and cause damage. Really if you wonder what is in engine, cause you bought used shady car just take off engine cover, clean it manually. Put new seals and do one or two oil changes after 4 or 5kkm. Then maintain it every 10kkm. Engine flush can harm your engine. I have plenty of cars. Plenty have for a long time. Never used flush. My straight six in BMW or V6 in Jeep are perfectly clean inside. And they have high mileage.
