17:44 The results
I start with baseline figures of the car’s decibel readings at idle from an exterior and interior location, then take a sample of the current oil and filter it to look for deposits that might be floating around the oil pan. I take a good look under the valve cover for cleanliness in the head, then take dry and wet compression readings from all cylinders as well as inspecting the cylinder condition with a borescope.
Then I clean, and do it all over again! I try to be as critical and objective of the marketed benefits of Engine Flush as possible to avoid the hype of cleaning effectiveness based on disposed oil samples alone.
It’s entirely possible that Liqui Moly’s Pro-line Engine Flush DID clear out tight passages that assisted cylinder #4 into operating at peak current performance.

You were supposed to flush the system of the original oil before adding the engine flush. Also they recommend you drive the car for 1-2 hours before draining

@FigureItAudi Месяц назад

You're not the first person to think and share this and typically I don't humor posts like yours but for the sake of data integrity, let's see what you can offer to backup why what you're describing is the correct process and that "they" (since you're claiming Liqui Moly themselves are doing this recommendation) are the source info. Because: No. A) It says the process right on the can. Add to old oil, idle for 10 mins, drain, replace with fresh oil and filter B) It says it identical process on their info sheet, directly from the LM website, and it's even on their updated Engine Flush Plus product (in other words, if they felt the process needed to change, they could have updated it when that product was released, but they didn't). And here's that document: pim.liqui-moly.de/pdf/en_GB/liqui/16/P003601 What's recommended vs. what you *could* do are entirely different things. I'll pin this post so if you can find some verified, contradictory evidence from LM on the process, you can bathe in all the glory.

@In2investing 3 года назад

One thing you want to crank the engine until the compression stops building, if you limit it to 5 cranks only you set your self up for failure especially when comparing to another reading. This is because the piston can be a a different part of it's stroke, theres 4 phases to a complete rotation, and if you start the test a a different part of the phase and stop a 5 you can get a higher lower reading if that piston is on its power stroke or sat exhaust stroke.

I tested my 2008 1.8TFSI engine 6 months ago and got 124psi across all 4 cylinders. I was encouraged by the consistent readings but quite a bit worried they were actually all low and indicative of a problem. Whilst slightly on the low side it's a real comfort knowing they are all still well above the wear limit of 109psi. Thank you for your video.

I tried Liqui Moly engine lubricant/restorer in my 1992 Miata with 240k miles, for obvious reasons (stock engine, original miles). I of coarse, was skeptical, but what the heck. I only used half the can on the first go round. It took a while, but the compression and noticeable oil burn improved immensely. After about 2 or 3k miles, the compression and power were noticeable improved. I was surprised and amazed that it was actually noticeable. The engine has always been well maintained, but obviously it did benefit from treatment. It also improved valve tic on start-up, which has always been a problem on early Miata's. Still good at 252k miles.

@89Ayten 3 года назад

It lowered the compression on the three cylinders slightly because it broke down some of the gelatinized oil-carbon buildup which, to a point, actually seals the compression chamber more. This is before it gets too bad and starts to become very acidic and etch away at the linings, lowering compression.

@anthonyschenck7076 2 года назад

The lower compression is because the carbon in the good cylinders, 1,2 and 3, actually have formed to the internals, so when removing, expose minute new compression leakage areas. On your number 4 cylinder, you had carbon holding open your exhaust valves from the heat being greater in the back of the cam. Because of that, less engravnedd carbon on your sidewalls but now your exhaust valves seat all the way because the carbon deposits are no longer holding it open. I've learned this because this is a common problem on first and second Gen coyote engines.

These types of additives (I prefer BG products) really shine after 3-4-5 full engine oil changes. We’ve been putting full synthetic 5w30 and the BG “MOA” oil additive in a 2000 Camry V6 for about 6 oil changes now. The old 5k-mile oil literally comes out looking brand new at this point. The first 2-3 oil changes were DARK, the oil filter was changed out twice as often as the oil was to catch anything that was dislodged. Additive from reputable brands definitely work. (BG, LiquMoly) But you have to repeatedly use them with every oil change to actually see results. When we did the valve cover gaskets on that same Camry V6 the inside of the cylinder heads were bright and clean. No coking or any deposits. One oil change and running for 10 minutes isn’t going to do anything except clean your cylinder walls a bit. Which is exactly what you experienced. Use BG’s MOA products and you’ll see crazy results long term.

More likely from not letting the compression reading stabilise. Can see stopping too early in the vid.

@alexanderwoolley1623 8 месяцев назад

@@RealHairyPottyI think it's more to do with oil being far less viscous, cretaes more of a seal around the oil rings when the oil is thicker leading to higher compression, simply leaving the oil flush to stagnate on the sides of the cylinder walls induces lower overall compression as it is more volatile, a dommon trend I see is oil in oil flush is quite sloppy and water like, whereas oil without flush is very sludgy and thick, I work in a waste management facility and can tell when they oil we are recycling has had oil flush put through it! :) my only explanation is the bad cylinder had the oil rings cleaned, but lower overall compression due to the thin oil, the block should have been thoroughly rinsed with clean oil and a clean filter, ran for atleast 10 minutes with fresh oil then the sump oil and oil filter drained, new oil put in the filter and engine then the cylinders tested. Atleast this is my procedure anyways after having used oil flush on poorly performing engines.

@Roh_Echt 2 года назад

I've seen another LiquiMoly Engine Flush test showing very similar results. Where compression after the treatment was a bit lower. But one cylinder which tested low before the treatment was a bit higher following treatment. We should remember that temperature is a factor with compression testing. Perhaps a cold compression test, followed by a warm test, of both before and after would be helpful.

@jamesmedina2062 Год назад

which oil do you run?

@tssci6774 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video, clear and understandable, good attempt at the scientific method. The carbon on the cylinder walls is just a reflection. they are actually honed to mirror reflection and your seeing the edge of the piston. The varnish will never come off unless you use an industrial solvent and apply pressure or physical contact, such as you might see in a machine shop. Next time, flush the engine with brand new oil, take a sample, then add the Engine Flush. Then take another sample. That is the proper way to do it. Companies that test engine and oil, typically flush engines 3-4 times between runs to remove any residual oil or cross contamination. These modern, DOHC, VVT engines can retain 10-20% of old oil, thus the reason to flush the engine with new oil by changing, running for 15 minutes to complete mix the oils and drain again. This will net you a 99% fresh sump. Then if you see any significant deposits, it is likely the flush or the new oil actually doing its job in cleaning the engine. Another way to evaluate oil cleanliness and see carbon and insoluables in the oil is using radial chromatography. Place two drops of used oil on the center of a blank business card. Let sit and disperse for 6-8 hours. then examine under a back light and you will see any contaminates, carbon, soot, sludge if any. Very easy and cheap. The other option is to have a lab test the oil using optical or pore type partical test methods. The machine, transportation, marine, auto and military use this to evaluate filter performance and oil cleanliness.

How can you prove the very fact that you had an oil change had effect to the engine cleanness?

@rholdcroft99 3 года назад

The increase in compression on cylinder 4, is likely due to the Ligui Moly removing/cleaning carbon from the rings on that cylinder allowing them to rotate and work properly during the combustion process. Therefore restoring the lost compression.

@smurface549 3 года назад

Or maybe the firsts low measurement was just an outlier, and it's only a coincidence that it's after applying the cleaner where the value is in line with the other cylinders. If LiquiMoly would have worked that well, how do you explain the lower compression on the other cylinders? Or the lower compression in the wet test on cylinder 1? Any decent engine oil will keep particles suspended anyways, there's a ton of emulsifiers and additives in the oil. If something is so much baked in that a regular (and on-time) oil change won't dissolve it anymore, a mild cleaner like LiquiMoly enginge flush won't get it loose in 10min either. You'd need a really aggressive cleaner, which you obviously don't want to mix in your oil and then run the engine. And it's very likely taking more time than a couple minutes, unless you can support it with mechanical cleaning, e.g. an ultrasonic bath or just scraping the bulk of carbon deposits off after taking the engine apart.

@SilentScreamer413 3 года назад

@@smurface549 Well, Any modern oil has detergent among its additive package, no big news here. However as the oil ages, the levels of detergent get lower and the cleaning property of an engine oil degrades as well as its friction reduction properties, which is why we have to change it. LM Flushing additive is indeed some detergent to restore a higher level and help cleaning the engine. Back in the days you could also use flushing oil that was high in detergent but that kind of products was often too aggressive for engines and would damage certain parts in the process, hence their bad reputation and eventually that kind of products almost disappeared from the market. As a result using such additives for making cleaner oil change is good because it allows the oil to regain its cleaning properties with a little more punch. In this case I can imagine that the cylinder n° 4was running hotter than the rest, probably because of insufficient injection. as a result the oil cooked more in this cylinder and created deposit that eventually prevent the piston ring from moving freely in their grove and thus degraded the compression. But you're right, certain really bad situation will require disassembly and thorough cleaning with other means. I do believe that engine flush used regularly, especially on engines that tend to burn oil (American and European engines mostly) is good and help preventing more expensive maintenance. There is no "miracle product" but generally, Liqui Moly products work quite well for what they've been designed for.

Is it safe to use motor flush not use any others like diesel, transmission fluid, kerosene, cheaper motor flush so many uses.

Is it safe using motor flush not any others. I'm worry about will clogging through oil pump ????????

@SilentScreamer413 3 года назад

@@craigbadder4372 absolutely no risk to clog anything with a flushing additive like Liqui Moly. However you cannot drive with it in the oil. It can only be used for 15 to 20min idling only! As the detergent level rises, lubrication also diminishes and it's not meant to be used in an engine that is going partial or full charge. Oil flush additive has to be used with caution but as long as you follow the instructions, it's perfectly safe to use.

The pistons been equalized, so, if it's close(r) to factory data, I wouldn't worry much. If it helps the oil consumption, I'd let the thing do it's job. :) But it's way more expensive than braking fluid. Dot3 or 4, doesn't matter. Thank you for the test. It's been refreshing to watch.

@samueljung2165 3 года назад

The idd result might be : 1. cylinder 4 had a lot of build up so compression was down - cleaned up and back to norm. 2. The flush also flushes the lubes so right after the test it may not have been lubricated enough - add oil and run for awhile at lowest rpm possible to go back to normal

I alternately use this and Amsoil engine flush at every oil change . The reason I think my oil doesn't come out black or dark . It comes out a golden color that I can see through as it drains . Changing oil every 5000 miles , using either Pennzoil Platinum 0W16 / Amsoil OE 0W16 and always a Amsoil filter .

I would really like to use this stuff because I think the screen in my oil pain is starting to get clogged and it's a pretty big job to remove oil pan on my b5.5 passat, you have to remove part of subframe and brace the engine. I'm just afraid that it might uncover some leaks that aren't leaking now.

@TheMervK 2 года назад

I also was recently looking at Liqui Moly engine flush and wondering if worth doing. Was really hoping to see a drastic clean under valve cover after flush, and particulates in filter cloth. So doesn't seem worth while. ? Compression improvement was worth a lot though.

@KingDrewPhilip Месяц назад

I did a Liqui Molly engine flush in my 2008 Lexus IS250 with 141k miles. I want to keep this car running for a while, because I really like it. Anyhow, after doing it, I noticed the car does seem to drive a little bit better. I do notice an improvement. Maybe I will do another engine flush later on down the line. Definitely during oil change, but maybe in another 50k miles or so.

The spark plug that was showing signs of running hot had a coil over it that was different from the rest. If you compare the design with the rest, you can see that the OEM ones were designed to dissipate some of the heat while the aftermarket one was isolating the heat. It wasn't the right coil.

If I may add something. I have been using LM Engine Flush Pro for at least 10yrs on various engines. If the engine never been flushed you have to do at least 3 flushes with fresh oil to really get rid of all the gunk. Also not 10 minutes but 30 minutes on idle. For example, in the 1.5dci Renault/Nissan engine with 15W40 inside (Yeah I know death for that engine), it took 5 flushes and 6 oil changes to keep oil clean after the oil change and 30m warmup. After this procedure engine stopped smoking blue, became quieter, and ran stronger. In my humble opinion: If you want to really clean your engine, buy a couple of LM Engine Flushes and enough cheapest oil you can buy for a couple of changes. After the last flush, change oil for the last time to the cheap oil and run it for 30m then change it (should come out quite clean) to some very good engine oil. Job is done

@tombregman2875 3 года назад

Regarding the compression improvement for cylinder 4: My best GUESS is that there was a problem with the compression tester installation (hook up) when the baseline compression was tested.

Great wideo. Try this in a Diesel engine with sludge build up, then you will see what this product is capable of. Also you should have changed the oil filter and cut it open, both for the base test and after flush. Subbed!

@buildanddrive 3 года назад

I also used this product and a bunch of others. I used to to try and "clean the rings" to get better oil consumption but what ends up happening is it cleans the carbon around the rings which all them to move a bit better (carbon gets in between the piston rings and piston) and that actually reduces your compression and increases oil consumption. Your spark plugs look like they are burning a bit of oil anyway. I have the video of my tests on my channel.

it was a little confusing to get your conclusion. Was it that you think the cleaner does help or that it does not?

I would really like to see your video on Ceratec. I was/am suffering low oil pressure in my N47 E83. The red oil light was blinking at idle and after adding Ceratec and driving 50-100km the light no longer comes on. It's hard for me to tell if and how much Ceratec helped so a video on that would be great!

Did you ever do a follow up on the compression tests to see if the readings were as balanced after the Jan 2020 post Liqui Moly Pro-line Engine Flush?
