You said 2012 to 2016 but you have 2018 in the the title 😒that’s a bit misleading don’t you think?

I think they ran Crisco in that thing.

Engine is toast, 100% you're gonna have blocked gallories

That’s why I do my own oil changes every 6 months

And all this effort because the oil was not changed frequently enough

The Brand already got too many blown engines, Its a Miracle , its still running, This is forsure NO OIL change has been done, Yes who goes to Jiffy Lube, If i was jiffy Lube , I wouldn't either

Jiffi Lube

It's not the car's fault but the customer's - using that Nitro Lube los quality oil. 😮

Вам нужно было использовать диметилсульфоксид

OMG you cant fix stupid ok duuuuh we have one line left seriously

Next time replace the oil with diesel to flush the engine. We used to do this all the time when i was a teen in the 1970's on chevy and ford v8's.

I believe the Toyota Seneca had this problem. To pass smog standards, Toyota decided to make the water jacket holes in the head gasket smaller to increase the temperature of the combustion chamber. The result was the oil passages next to the cylinders were overheating the oil, which caused fresh oil to sledge up. Toyota refused to warranty the engines that eventually failed, claiming that the customer didn't do the required oil changes, when then in fact had the dealer do them on a required basis. My daughter's KIA has this same issue and when it happens the connecting rod bearings wear out. The engine in hers has a lifetime warranty so when the connecting rod knock sensor signals you get a new engine as long as there is no sledge. Solution to make sure there's not a sludge issue by replacing the oil with diesel and then drive the car for 30 to 40 minutes. Pennzoil used to do that to engines in the 1960's and 1970's. It was a waxed base oil back then and even if you maintained proper oil changes the oil would sludge up. Bottom line is they car manufacturers instead of engineering a better engine to meet smog requirements today find solutions like smaller water passages in the head gasket, then claim when the engine fails that you didn't maintain the engine correctly, e.g. didn't change the oil as required. Then refuse to warranty the badly designed engine.

Watched both videos. Very informative and satisfying. Subscribed. Tip: I never replace crush washers. I use wheel bearing grease on the plug threads. Haven't had a leak on many many vehicles in 40 years.

I feel like half of Hyundai/Kia reliability issues boil down to subprime buyers who don't maintain them properly and beat on them.

Are you able to take the toxic cleaning mix to the city for hazardous waste recycling?

Pretty awesome that oil doesn't need to be changed, wow

You should do some research on vavoline restore and protect I’ve seen multiple videos of how good this oil is at removing deposits and dang near bringing the engine back to new. I wonder if it would work on this car.

How can the car run that long with that?

Saved that guy having to buy an entire new car. Good work man

I don't take vehicles to these places period...100 for a basic OC i don't think so

why not try diesel

Very nice thank you so much

Hola saludos desde south Florida, tengo este mismo Mercedes C230 sport sedan 6 cyls, del año 2006, me encanta corre muy bueno y es muy cómodo y para ser del ano 2006 tiene una gran tecnología, pero tengo una mala noticia, se encendió el check engine y se conectó a la computadora y el resultado es que hay que limpiar el intake y para hacer esa simple limpieza se tiene que desarmar medio mundo

I’m having trouble compressing the piston. I bought the specific tool and tried to. The piston looked to just be spinning in place and not compressing in. Any tips?

Why wouldn't you take the oil pan off in the first place and clean it up 😂

I’ve never had an issue with quick lube places, ever. I don’t have time or knowledge or the stupid special tool you need to change oil on my car. I do check the dipstick and have a trusted mechanic that sees the car for other things. I Even like the well named “discount tire” place that does it cheaper than anyone else. Like. It’s smooth. Never had an issue. But I’m not an idiot, I ask questions and act like I know what them mfs are telling me. You always change oil every 5k even if your manufacturer claims 10k. If I have the money I like to do my oil right when my car first dings at me which is I believe 4,500k. I have a 2010 Camry , lots of these cars burn hella oil but my car only burns 1 quart every5k miles with it’s nothing added in between.

ECS Tuning has the panel, for a little under $3,000 🤨

Given that much sludge , might also ck or replace the PCV and plugs . May need to ck/replace one or more injectors.

Thanks for the video, even a non-mechanic did it without issues saving $290 the dealer wanted for this simple job! Thanks for your very clear easy to follow instructions!

Took my chances and fixed it without replacing the handle

A 3000 miles interval might be ok be after the sludge party to remove last bits of buildup, but usually i'd find that a little bit exaggerated. 5000 miles should be ok after that.

So flushing it out with diesel would have messed it up?

Great job and great video!!

Great video. I would have liked a demonstration of how well it works compared to the siphon setup. Also I don't understand how the metering valve works. What stops the media from pouring out of it?

Everybody has there own way of doing things. Right or wrong, I would just change the oil and never, ever flush. In my experience, once the stuff starts to break loose, it will eventually plug the sump, it will lose oil pressure and lock up the engine. Even with removing the pan, you can't get to it all.

that was a--------- MESS

Too many crooks in this business

After I take my car in for an oil change, I check the filter and the dip stick....So far the only place that tried anything was Sears..They said I needed a wheeel alignment..The Toyota was still on the rack and I walked to my truck and showed them they were wrong..

Maybe he meant the other 6000 miles, where another 0 is in it? 😂

Well, it's probably his first car and I guess no one told him about car maintenance. Can't really blame the guy if he didn't know better. At least he took it to you when told to at Jiffy Lube and I'm sure he'll maintain it properly from now on. When I took my driving classes decades ago, the instructor actually taught me all about car maintenance while I drove slowly through the course. I think we had about 10 hours of one-on-one classes in the car so there was a lot of time to chat. On the other hand, my motorcycle driving instructor didn't tell me anything. Because he doesn't sit pillion while you ride so there's no opportunity to chat 😂. So I ended up riding a 2-stroke bike without putting in 2T oil for a year before a friend noticed and taught me about it.

So my feed line has a crack in it and is leaking I was gonna just replace especially since it’s right there on top, but should I do these O rings as well there’s no leak from them that I’m aware of but since I’m already down there?

This is a prime example of, "Pay me now, or pay me later more later."

Nice vid… quick & to the point.. not many here show this exact engine set up either.. 🦾😎

Every 3k no matter the vehicle since the 80s. Wix filter...even 200k + engines have all been flawless, like new under the valve covers 0 discoloring Mfrs love to sell parts labor and new cars hence them telling us they can go rediculous periods without changing. Have used crap oil in a pinch but good filter..no issues. Small cost for longevity!

At 35:16 you mention the "intake manifold sensor." Do you have a part number for that? I can't seem to find anything specific on it and I think I need a new one. Thank you

I don't keep a log of oil changes. When it ticks over to the next 10,000 km I send it for an oil change, and a cvtf change on every multiple of 30,000 km. Right now it's showing 392,000 km so the next change at 400k will include aircond compressor (every 50k), spark plugs+radiator+brake fluid (every 100k). It's just easier to remember multiples of 10k distance than being so exact that you lost track. At most you go over or under 1k.

I don’t trust those old school torque wrench

He should stick to computers 😂

Had he been using the recommended DEXOS oil?

changing your oil is overrated! lol
