    Just wondered what it would look like if i changed the oil. Added new fresh oil and engine flush then changed the oil again. This is on a Nissan NV200 with a 2.0 liter.
    Pretty fun experiment

    The Amsoil flush is amazing. Changed the oil in a Coyote with 80k miles, ran it maybe 10 miles, then did the flush just like BFT advised and the oil that came back out looked like it had never been changed. Absolutely amazing product and another great tip from BFT! Thank you.

    I did an experiment on my Ranger last weekend. I put new oil in it with a new filter, drove it a mile, and when I drained it it was was black too. I guess the bottle of flush is cheaper, but I had extra quarts of oil laying around. It's surprising how much oil doesn't drain out when we change it!!

The AMSOIL Oil Filter is engineered for safe extended drain intervals of up to 15,000 miles on one year, whichever comes first. As in accordance with industry-standard ISO SO 4548-12, the AMSOIL Oil Filter has a very high efficiency rating of 99% at 20 microns, which helps to filter out abrasive wear-causing contaminants to a very high degree, extending engine life.

I even run a dual bypass system on the 6.7 powerstrokes. Your preaching to the choir about oil and filters. I appreciate you pushing the product cause it's number 1 in my book and I run it in everything. Including my fleet of 180 vehicles. Trust me I know. But the way these vehicles are run Im still changing filters often. We go 10k on changes. So it's not cost effective for my budget. We already ran the numbers. The motorcraft filter works just fine for 10k changes. If they were run like everyday normal people it would be different have a good night

Performance, fuel economy, longevity, emission reduction gains and wear reduction.

    Why didn;t you use the Amsoil filter instead of the Motorcraft? The Amsoil filter is superior to the Motorcraft. The number for the Amsoil Filter of r this application is a EA15K12 and is designed for extended service lift. For those that do not know, modern oil filter testing is not judged by micron size. but it is a time/weight test to calculate the amount of contaminants being removed while is service. The old filtration method of micron size is what caused filter to plug up and run with the bypass flowing dirty engine oil.

Motorcraft filters do just was well with amsoil. I've tested three different kind. Amsoil, purolator boss, motorcraft. Allnhad the same results. Doesn't use micron rating? Is thay why amsoil tells you the filtering capacity by mjcronnrating. Even for the bypass system? Micron rating is used in modern oil filter testing.

    Looks like the Amsoil engine flush did its job. I had to back up the video to make sure my ears and eyes weren't deceiving me. Try as you might, installing a Motorcraft filter on a Nissan won't make a difference. You'll still be stuck with a Nissan in the end. How do I know?

      @@BeardedFordTech I say the most effective (not the cheapest),
      Because as you know part of the oil's job is to hold contaminants "in suspension",
      An oil that is completely discoloured (petrol car), has a significantly reduced ability to to do that.
      So instead of the contaminants "becoming part of the oil",
      They will just be pushed around to somewhere else (hopefully to the sump... hopefully).

    • @prevost8686
      @prevost8686 Před 23 dny

      There are two types of engine flushes.
      1. Solvent based
      2. Detergent based
      Solvent based flushes are inexpensive and are not designed to liquefy sludge and hold it in suspension. Many engines have been blown up by adding solvent based flushes and as a result large chunks of sludge break loose which stop the oil pump pickup tube up and loosing oil pressure. Any flush that reeks of a kerosene smell has a solvent formulation.
      Detergent based flushes are designed to liquify sludge and hold it in suspension in the oil until it is drained out. Many detergent flushes are intentionally designed to work slowly over time to prevent the possibility of the oil pickup stopping up.
      Amsoil and Liqui-Moly use a detergent based formulation. I have used them both and I think it Amsoil flush has a slight edge over Liqui-Moly. In my shop I have seen an increased need for periodic flushes because of customers who follow the oil life monitor. 10-12K mile oil changes are not a good idea for customers using whatever bulk oil that the shop uses.

    I've been using Amsoil for 35 years, great stuff, never had an oil or sludge, wear. related problem in any engine or transmission. Based on the numerous comments, a lot viewers believe this flush actually did something. It didnt. I am an electrical, mechanical engineer, worked in the auto service industry, and started rebuilding engines in 1984. The flush is simply mineral spirits and some group1 base oil. Unless your engine is filled top to bottom with sludge, it will not have any affect. 10-20% of old oil remains in modern engines and you know that. All it takes is 1/4qt of old, sooty oil to make the new oil that dark. Had you opened that filter, you would have no sludge in it. Last year, I tried multiple engine flushes, including Amsoil. I flushed the engine 2x with clean oil, running it 15 min each time. I sampked the oil for analysis. I put the engine flush in, ran it for 30 minutes, drained it and sampled it again. The engine had 190k miles, there was visible varnish, and hard sludge under the cam cover. Oil analysis showed no addition particulates, carbon, varnish, or anything else. The filter also showed no contaminents. Only in extreme cases will these flushes help. Doing a clean oil flush, several oil changes in a year will definate help, is much safer, and the new oil will be able to clean and protect much better. Here is a great article discussing the perils of short volume oil changes. www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/31012/short-volume-oil-changes

    • @BeardedFordTech
      @BeardedFordTech  Před 4 měsíci +2

      It cleaned some of the varnish. I never said it cleaned sludge. I never said the engine had sludge. And yes I k ow there is still old oil in the engine. I've done a lot of research on oil. I'm also friends with the owner of speed diagnostix which is a used oil analysis company. We have been over this many many times. It depends on how you drive and operating g conditions for how far you can go. If you have been using amsoil for so long. Then please don't come on here bashing saying a product did nothing about cleaning g sludge etc etc when the word sludge was never used. This was literally me having a bottle of fresh oil laying g around looking at a bottle of engine flush I had sitting there wondering how dark the oil would be after 15 min. Obviously I know it would be dark. But I wanted to see how dark. If any carbon deposits came out stuff like that. Just an experiment. By far not an actual test.

      @@BeardedFordTech varnish is baked on residues of oxidized oil and contaminates. Anyone who has rebuilt engines knows it requires high pressure and chemical baths such as hot tanks to remove or physical abrasive contact. Sludge on the handle can be remove often with solvent rinses. You never mentioned varnish in the video and only pointed to the obviously dark oil that it supposedly works. Amsoil makes an superior oil, but the additives such ad PI and Flush are mostly worthless.
