The PROPER Way For An Engine Flush 

I heard it could be bad to do an engine flush for an old engine? (Watched a Sotty Kilmer vid)

@@johndizon735 Your mistake is taking anything he says. The guy clickbaits often.

@@johndizon735 fuck that guy, he literally made a video saying the opposite, look up "oil additive Scotty killer". He's just finessing viewers

Yes but now you still have residue of the cleaner in your oil running through your engine

@@MrHukd That's why he run it with cheap engine oil first and drain it later.. did'nt get by you rite?

i like this way better. would rather brand new oil with the flush and honestly im tempted to instead of just idling, get it to 2000 rpms to really get that heat and flush working, then drain it and put liquimnoly oil, and then liquimoly Ceratec

@@artemisentreri9684 stupid idea unless you want a spun bearing.

That's the best method imo

Application it!

What were the testing results?

Correct. Used vehicle so that's why I did it. Never didn't it since because I am on top of my oil changes

@@n55morris14 makes perfect sense to me, I also did this on my daughter's Camry that she just bought used with 206k on it. I had to change the valve cover gasket so fortunately it looks like oil changes were done regularly but I went ahead and did the flush anyway

Saved me bro I was debating on buying some cheap oil for it but there’s never truly “cheap” oil for a Mercedes! Thanks!

Yes especially for engines under 100,000 miles just do it once let it idle for 15 mins warm then flush and fill with LiquiMoly Oil the residue of the flush will not harm the engine.

Especially if you're switching to 👑🟣🛢️

I do agree with you. I too don’t want to waste more money/time. However I have seen two videos that do these kind of extra oil/filter second flushing and it is true that the second oil have those black oil residue. So I am still debating whether it really necessary to do the second flushing or not.

You are quite accurate with that!

Means

@@syedzeeshansarfaraz7545 operating temperature, around 90oC

Makes sense

So, how do you fix that?

@@DunOpondo Taking the oil pan off and cleaning the pan and oil pick up screen,(which is not a practical at home procedure to perform). Or change oil and filter in shorter intervals in hopes it helps.

@@gotdirt17 that's logic enough, thanks.

How to fix that?

Correct, and some mechanics won't do an oil flush unless they first take the sump off to ensure that it isn't full of crap.

I would look up the safety data sheets and see if the ingredients are listed.

I've seen someone one the forums do 3 rinse. Probably the absolute max effort. I wouldn't think this car is in the worst condition so I did just the one. And unfortunately amsoil isn't readily available on the shelves 😞

The directions don't even call for one intermediate flush, let alone two or three. Help me out here.

The problem with the way you described is that the residue from the engine flush will still be in the engine. That is why the cheap oil is used to "rinse" it out.

@@n55morris14 If you concerned about residue of engine flush left in motor, in this case you can gave it a more cheep oil cleaning cycle after flushing with liqui moly and before regular oil change for optimum cleaning of engine, my concern here is about cleaning engine as much as I can......

@@seniorprogrammer7585 that can also be done. One Facebook page I remember some did it 4 times. (Drain oil, add oil with engine flush, drain and add oil x 3)

Yes perfectly fine. I was just recommended to do this as I just bought the car used

I cannot comment on that as I know the solenoids have a screen themselves. However I know the solenoids aren't that expensive to replace

Mine was at Canadian Tire. Conventional. Even better if its on sale

Walmart! You can get their brand of 5w-30 oil super tech for $21. I got a gallon of Shell 5w-40 for $23 (I have a b8.5 Audi A4) just cuz it was only $2 more and it's actually oil that meets VW 505 standards on their yearly technical data sheets.. They have a sale going on you can get Valvoline, quaker state, Castrol GTX, and penzoil 5w-30 as low as $19.47 up to $26.97. Choice is up to you. Plenty of options. I'm never buying oil anywhere else.

Yes, German Parts are great to deal with. Never any hiccups and never an issue with shipping or pick up spots. With Special Tec, no specific reason. I know it's a LL-01 oil and my father using it In his BMW. If Moly Gen is better I am open to try that one.

And some liquimoly ceratec to go with it 😊.... That is if you aren't using liquimoly molygen

R u saying to flush it twice with liqui moly

What I recently had done, on my very regularly serviced car...... that I have owned since new, Oil flush added to the "old" oil since it was still in good condition (not dark brown etc) and so still able to hold any contaminates in suspension. After running it for the correct amount of time, drained the oil and changed the filter. Added a cheaper oil to clear out any of the remaining flush detergents, ran car for enough time for that oil to get hot etc. Drained that oil and changed the filter, followed by adding the good stuff (more expensive oil). Although my car is very very well maintained, and theoretically didn't need a flush, I decided to do it because that particular engine has low tension piston rings, and if they gum up they become jammed off centre, Leading to the bore becoming damaged, and the rings not sealing followed by developing an oil consumption issue. So whilst OTT, my choice was not without reason :-)

If you have an old engine, Carbon deposits may prevent or reduce oil burning because reduces the gap in a weared area. when you flush it, the engine could burn some oil due to the removal of that layer of carbon deposits. That said, all engines burn some oil, some more than others. Dont worry too much, just check oil regularly and change it as often as you can. Me personally gonna flush my ford fiesta engine tomorrow, first time in his first 93.000Km. I am not planing in doing it regularly, only once each 40/50.000Km.

@@SiliconPower74 let me know how that goes

​@@ViewsofTheVI I just did the oil change. I used the same liqui molly flush used in the video. Engine already at operation temperature, stop, add the flush liquid, start engine and let it idle for 10min. When the engine was idling. I didnt notice anything out, same sound and smell as always. I let the engine drain the oil for almost an hour and added some new oil to help push the last of the old oil. The old oil was pure black, it was only 13.000Km and 10 months old so I think the liqui molly did a good work. Meanwhile I changed the oil filter and diesel filter. I added the new Motul 8100 oil (I didnt flushed a second time like the video) and after adjusting the oil level, is running smooth. In the next oil change I will buy some cheap ass mineral 5W30 to do a flush with it.

Engine still healthy. Did oil change yesterday and 6.5L on fill and 5.1L on drain with 9,000km change and being tuned for past 2 weeks. Regular oil burn amount as BMW allows 1 quart (0.946L) per 1200 kms

@@syphontoastie6265 what is wrong with you? Yeah I have a Ford Fiesta and I like it a lot.

Absolutely gross.

Appreciate the advice!

Or, just add it and then go put some heat into her. Works every time

Liqui Moly specifically prescribes NOT to do what you suggest but to only keeping it at idle, no more.

No point really, Instructions say one oil change - tech support says one oil change. I can see a benefit when buying a used car as the video shows.

He has no idea what he's doing, obviously. Manufacturer explained the instructions very clear, but some idiots think they're smartasses 🤣

For bmw engines, they also recommend 16,000km oil changes but will you follow that? Sometimes being extra sure is not a bad thing

@@n55morris14 In a performance setting ofc not but if I only commuted I would definitely go by the OCI interval. FYI the OCI interval adapts based on he quality of your oil. That said, your analogy does not apply at all.

@@JackRR15 how does my analogy not relate? I stated that going beyond what a manufacturer recommends is not a bad thing. You can do that, as the oil change intervals is also heavily influenced by rental car companies and having to do less warranty work. As companies who buy large amount of these cars wouldn't want to be doing oil changes often.

I guess my car must be the exception to that rule :-)

Agree, Never judge the quality of oil on the color. You can do 10 oil changes and the oil will go darker after driving.

The more you know! Thanks for that!

When on sale I'll give it a try

If the oil that he used meets the specifications of the manufacturer, the brand doesn't matter.

Yes it is. Any "big" debris is drain

When old and high mileage. No need for new cars

But when we buy a used car with an unknown maintenaince

@@ramonduval8231 yeah that's the problem with the secondhand card , we dont know the truth how old owner treat that before

yes but this procedure is for when you dont know how someone treated the oil OR you do know and it was cheap oil/didnt do it often enough. just like how people dont understand how to properly do a fluch they also dont get why... its not an every oil change thing

You simply forget that 9/10 when buying a "used" car. The damage is already done due to lack of maintence. Most people within the past 2 years now (Covid spiking car prices) don't want to drop couple grand more to get a new car. A lease doesn't count unless you plan on buying it after the 3 yrs. I'm sure you get my point though.

What if you bought a used car? The cheap investment of this flush can help removing the deposits.

Modern bmw engines do not have dip sticks. It says you don't have to rinse it but I prefer to rinse it

@@n55morris14 My Audi doesn't have a dipstick but still has a tube to the sump.

@@Boodieman72 bmw don't got that. And don't have an extractor

Bmw doesnt recommend… cause extraction acctually doesnt pull everytjing out

@@Mysohvaperuna It actually gets more out than when you use the drain plug. Where does BMW say it isn't recommended?

Whole bottle

@@n55morris14 Thanks!
