Dear please share is there any hazard of using liqui moly engine flush in car engine?
Is there any damage to the old engine
Should I flush the engine again with oil after I use engine flush to remove the remaining solvents in the crankcase from the engine flush?
@@msaqib79bzu you
@@seangowan7441it’s not mentioned on the bottle but others on the internet recommend after using this and drain oil, use a cheap oil and filter and drive a few miles or a day and then change oil/filter to what you want to use
been using many liqui moly products for many years..including the flush.. i have a 94 xj jeep sport with 380,000 miles.. same engine. same transmission..had compression test about a year ago..thumbs up..i give alot of credit to their products... my jeep runs and looks fabulous..and no... its not for sell...
Wow! My 2004 Jaguar XJR turns 200k miles soon, going to use Ceratec + Mos2 this next oil change -oil was changed with Liqui Moly High Tec
@@jaynikk758Hope you get same results as well. Ive had my jeep since 96 and I feel their products have helped along the way.🙂
No one wants to buy your shitty Jeep 😂
I also used liqui Molly engine flush and checked before using it and compared it after using it. It helps!
Don't use this product if you bought a car with a neglected engine. All that gunk gets released too fast. Just change your oil more frequently to even out the process.
Agreed
What we did was 5 short oil changes (2500km on a 14 year old car with close to 250,000km on it and oil blacker than a cave on a moonless night)
The first oil change was black, the second was what I'd consider dirty, but not too bad.
The 3rd change was 1/2 strength liquid moly for 15 minutes at the end of the 2500km run, before which the oil was actually not too bad, being slightly dirty, but still a dark amber color, but after the liquid moly was added the oil was blacker than the first change, but not "gritty". I repeated this after another 2500km, and the oil was initially much cleaner, probably similar to my 4 year old car with 80,000km, but after the liquid moly it was pretty dirty.
The final full strength flush 2500km later was a little scary it was so black, and after that flush we did pour 1 litre of oil through to flush out the gunk in the oil pan before replacing the drain plug. but then we returned to the standard 10,000km oil changes and the oil comes out dark, but still with a definite amber/oil tint, so yes it got rid of a lot of buildup, but also caused the engine to use a slightly larger volume of oil between changes, maybe 300ml per 10,000km, vs being maybe 100ml low (So much we never bothered filling it). The engine did sound a lot quieter, with no tappet noise at all
@@lithgowlights859 it probably used more oil because the gunk was cleared out and there was more clearance for the oil to escape or get by the rings and such. Just like if you use a solvent or cleaner to clear out the combustion chamber it lowers the compression. The build up is cleared out and the combustion technically gets larger with out all the buildup
I had this happen seized the engine in 5 minute of puting it in
Exactly my case. Looked into engine cleaners and before I even put anything in the motor I went about 3 oil changes every 2,500 miles
Should have spent more time on the after
But there was 1 second of footage! I wonder if he left it in... It's a flush that should be done right before changing the oil... Compression after new oil is the real test... Not that I care about compression... But the build up I do... It's just kerosene anyway
Very disappointing to watch all that and the big reveal was 1 second long and he didn’t even say if he liked it.
LiquiMoly products have never failed to provide what they claim. From a 1979 MarkV 400cleveland to a 2012 PriusV, 2012 Acura TSX wagon, 2006 Accord 2.4L K series, never a problem, upped economy, performance upgraded.
Excellent to know thanks Bro own a 2006 actra tl 2012 acura tsx and a b7 audi rs4 so awsome I can use on all my cars 🚗!!
After doing some internet research about the Liqui Moly Engine flush I desided to give it a try. Just had my regular oil change in an Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark and wow! Engine runs MUCH smoother than before! Obviously is impossible to see the difference in a closed engine but you can really hear and feel it! Even my mechanic was impressed from the result! Just make sure to leave it on a idle engine for 10 minutes, then drain the oil and change the filter and finally top up with the new fresh oil. Such a nice product! Highly recommend
How if liqui moly vs STP engine flush?
@@BagusWibisono Liqui Moly Pro Line is the better option
@@iShavegr the liqui engine flush it was did really well?
@@BagusWibisono don't expect to see any visual difference. For sure you will hear and feel the difference though after the oil change. Everything will run much more smoothly. Specially if you do the procedure after the second oil change.
Think of it as having a shower with and without soap 😂
Also if you go to a premium service center like porsche lexus etc they always use an engine flush before the oil change. Just make sure to leave it enough time to drain before you screw back the oil pan plug.
@@iShavegr thanks my friend
Some years back, I had occasion to use an engine flush and the results were good. It was a 1991 Pontiac GA with the 2.5 engine with 107k miles and one morning after taking it on a 3000 mile trip, the engine started with a very sharp knock but kept running. When it warmed, the knock was less severe and to me it suggested a varnish problem, probably a wrist pin. I flushed per the directions and refilled with a different brand of 5w30 oil and the knock wasn't there any longer. Sold the car just a year ago with over 240k miles and the engine was quiet with very low oil consumption. It's important to see to refreshing the oil changes once it's been flushed but in the long run, it's a good treatment.
Time to try it out my man I’m convinced. Trying to save a 96 5.7 Chevy engine
260k miles 5.7 with liquid moly, drained all the gunk, pulled the pan and scraped the residue off and put it back. She runs with more compression now and 5-10% more throttle. Yes it does infact work! Let idle 15 mins before changing oil don’t rev or drive truck with the stuff in your oil just idle.
The video had the tone of an intro through out the whole thing lmao
Thanks for watching
Right?
Haha, true.. keeps us watching though
This is the only way to describe the narration on this channel 🤣
This, it was so weird when it ends and it feels like it didn't even start
I used this product on a NC mx-5 1.8 that had covered 80,000 miles. Two years later having added 20,000 to it and it felt smoother and oil consumption over that period was nil. I was impressed.
Not trying to discredit but I think that was just placebo.
I found this video while researching whether or not to flush my MZR 1,8 in my mx5 (98k) at its next oil change.
@@JGrindel you could pop open the valvecover (install a new gasket) if its all black then maybe it could be done. but normaly when the oil is changed often enough/is still clean then it shouldnt be needed at all. my peugeot 205 1,1 with 173k is still pretty much completly clean. its all the light brown/amber oil color no black at all. and only thing which has been done is an yearly oil change
This stuff actually saved my motor. Had terrible 10psi oil pressure at idle and lifter knock and ran through so many things of what it could be. Did this as a last ditch effort and it's never drops below 35psi at idle now. This stuff does work but should only be used if having problems like I did.
What oil to flush mixture ratio did you use? (I’m having the same issue - nc1 1.8mzr 130k km)
I use this flush at my shop all the time, very good product, never had a single issue.
Hey Jacques is this liqui moly engine flush good for a car that been sitting in garage for 7 years??

@@eponymous7910 yeah I've chosen otherwise. I'm not flushing anything. Car has surpassed 300'000km now. Oil changes are enough every 15'000km
Got my car @ 50K miles and used this every other oil change. No idea how well the car was taken care of before me outside the 5K mile oil changes but after the first flush it idled smoother imo.
I haven’t had any engine problems yet @ 100K miles
Got rid of a lot of the gunk. Pictures tell the story and confirm the results. Not a myth for this product, it gets a thumbs up!
The problem is, that the gunk ends up in the oil passages and can clog them. Not as much of a problem on an engine such as this that is splash lubed.
@@KolaAlade-li5db it has to circulate before it can get to the filter.
I like how you structure your presentation, very nicely done. I would've liked to see the Liquid Moly run longer than that, for cleaning purposes, but whatever.. u did a great job, thank you!
I have an 02 Audi 2.7t. I put this exact product in at 190,000 miles when I bought it. It is now at 258,000 miles and running strong.
Wow I’m about to really invest in products like these. Own the car and as long as you take care of the car the car itself will treat you and your family nice and won’t cost much money. I’m the type of guy that will run my car until it gives up. My 2010 Kia is at 220k and still running strong just did oil change and fuel treatment on every oil change as well, synthetic oil keeps my cars engine smooth and quiet as possible.

@@TrukNLife316 you should change the engine air filter more frequently in my opinion. A lot of wear comes from dirty air
@@TrukNLife316 I used diesel additives for my dad's evoque (200'000km) from liqui moly, it runs quieter now.
Engine oil flushes work well with a good product. There's no doubt. It will get more of the gunk and varnish out. Changing the oil while warm also mobilizes more of the old oil out of the system. Liqui Moly probably consists mainly of light naptha. Something like Stoddard solvent; (Mineral spirits, 85% nonane and 15% trimethyl benzene. This solvent thins out the oil, so you don't want to leave it in there, or put the engine under much load, so idling is correct to avoid any metal contact.
The oil will become very thin and viscous and 15 minutes or so of idling will break down the lumps and varnish, allowing a better flush when you drain it, getting more of the old oil out also.
As you state, it's not an excuse to not maintain your engine regularly and perform oil changes, but is a preventative measure to prevent build-up and varnish that can impact engine operation and wear it out prematurely. Hopefully an engine oil flush extends the life of your engine, and for the cost, avoiding you thousands in repairs down the road, it's probably worthwhile.
Wow very thorough information this is exactly what we need in the NIA community to help each other.
This was extremely helpful thank you 👀👌
well said.....its only engine idling after pouring liquimoly, strictly no load.......Nevertheless NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO done a good job,
@mark peterson Bingo! There is no magic product, just lack of maintenance
Can i use the flush on a 2011 toyota etios diesel engine? Some people say that you should not flush old engines as they are sealed by the sludge and carbon it self, and if you flush it, then it will start to leak.
Im getting this right now! Thanks for the video!
I think it works great
I used xado total flush(wich you run for 150 miles) and then liqui moly engine flush and got a good bit of power back, I also observed lower fuel consumption and lower oil consumption, I actually didn't have to top it off between oil changes on a high milage engine.
Good review...and the turf looks clean and tidy too!
I used this flush in 1999 Jetta 2.0 engine that has 115K miles and after that the engine runs SIGNIFICANTLY smoother. I did this way: 1) add the can in oil and idle run engine as recommended 2) Drain the oil and put the new oil. 3) Idle run engine and drain AGAIN. 4) Now, change filter and final refill with new oil again. - great result. My car takes 4 quarts of oil, so I already had 8 quarts purchased to perform the above... Also, highly recommend couple more things: 1.use a STP fuel system cleaner before this engine flush, lets say a week before, as the fuel system cleaner works after the gas tank gets empty and you refill the gas again... and # 2. Change intake air filter too.
Why u put oil and drain again after flush? Any technical reason?
@@chetansharma-jx1ud Hi Chetan, thanks for asking... When I first drain the oil it looked like a milkshake, so I refill with a new oil, let it idle and drained again, why? - just to make sure the old oil with that flush additive is completely out. The instruction on the bottle does not say that, it is my own preference...
@@chetansharma-jx1ud he just want to make sure that no left resedues from engine flush.
I did this exact thing.
@@y0vrs3lf Great! If you also try to clean MAF sensor and Throttle Body - it will run EVEN BETTER! Note: for both, there are 2 different spray cleaners, one is specifically for MAF and the other one exactly for Throttle Body, do NOT mix! Walmart sells both cans as a kit, or check your local auto store...
It will work provided the measurement of flush poured inside of the engine is accurate.
Nice work. And you let the pictures speak for themselves. Classy
got an 82 suzuki sc100 from a scrapyard, took the rocker cover off and its built up bad! thought about using a product like this and i think youre videos given me that confidence to try it.
I am using it for my Passat variant 140H 2013 AWD. Really good stuff.
I have used this cleaner for years and I trust it 100%. As a matter of fact at times I have changed the oil on my car and after couple hundred miles I go back and just change the oil filter and it still has sludge that was cleaned by this stuff. I have written back and forth with LM engineers in Germany and Im sold in all of their products. As long as they sell this stuff I will buy it.
When I got my car with 77,060 miles on it, I had read the owner's manual and found out that the dealership had only used conventoinal 10w40 oil on a 7500 mile oil change interval after I had been doing 3000 mile oil changes and still having thick pieces of carbon flakes fill up the bottom of my oil filter housing. Turns out a Volvo S60 doesn't like conventional oil unless it is the most basic model without variable valve timing and without a turbocharger. I used this Pro-Line engine flush for about 25 minutes instead of the recommended 10 (?) and when I changed the oil, it started as Castrol Edge 10w30, but became something closer to the color of road tar, but not as thick. After that, I used their Liechtlauf 5w40 and was surprised to see that after 4000 miles, it was still golden yellow, but at 6000 miles, it was a honey color. Once my VVT solenoids went out and I replaced them, I looked in my head and the aluminum was coated in amber yellow like it only had 6000 miles on it to begin with. I have used Castrol Edge 5w30, 10w30, 5w40, 0w40, Mobil 1 5w30, 10w30, 0w40, Pennzoil Platinum 5w40, 5w30, 10w30, Rotella T5 10w30, Rotella T6 5w40, 0w40, and Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w40, Moly-Gen 10w40, MOS2 10w40, and Top-Tec 4200 5w30 and so far the only oils that doesn't give me any carbon flakes from high heat and stress are the Rotella T6 oils and the Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w40 and MOS2 10w40. I've begun using this now for all my friends who don't understand proper oil changes and even they can notice a smoother running, more efficient engine.
Thank you. I will keep note of this.
Thanks bro for your comment
Thanks for sharing.
So the new Molygen from liqui moly wasn't that good?
Iv used all types of flushes, I think the reason as I found out as to why not put under load is... If your car has a turbo with bad seals the flush thins the oil and risks running up on its oil as fuel did this on a pug 206 diesel bent 2 rods big learning curve, if found 1 litre of atf left in for a week has amazing results
Great test. Never used the product but it looks interesting.
Had a 1991 Pathfinder, started using Lubegard 95030 Engine Flush before every oil change starting at 9,000 miles. every 5,000 miles the oil was changed. It looked brown but after Lubegard the drained oil looked black. Truck had 260,000+miles on it before the frame broke. Never had a engine problem and the engine was the only thing that worked like new when the vehicle was traded.
It was black because the Lubegard actually helped the oil clean, which is supposed to happen anyway.

I've been working at engine large and small for 40 years including building some high performance small capacity bike engines for classic racing. Engine flushing oils should be considered like this:
On a high mileage worn engine carbon built up in the rings might be actually helping keep a little compression by acting as a sort of seal in the ring groove. Removing this is not a great idea.
In a newer low mileage engine that has had poor oil maintenance and is sludged up but isn't badly worn then they are a good idea they can re open restricted oilways remove sludge that hinders oil movement and help speed up oil drain down back to the pan, all good things.
lastly on a newer engine which has had good maintenance and is not sludged you're wasting money buying it.
My mechanic says exactly the same thing
They build standard and high performance donks for clients. 50k for engines in some cases
And that’s what they said to me also. Old engine. Change oil regularly. Newer engines. U can do it. Dragging all that crud through just destroys and engine in no time
That's the problem I'm dealing with I have a 06 Silverado with 300k and it didnt have regular old changes in it until I got it and there is a lifter tapping in it and the oil pressure is a little low but not much all the videos I been watching say transmission fluid flush bit I just dont have very good luck lol
@@dewaynesmith8925 What oil are you using
@@mercedesvan-doors34 I use Castrol 10 40 high mileage
@@dewaynesmith8925 Consider doing a 'milder flush' as follows. At the next change drop the oil and add new filter, fill it with a 5-30 semi synth and run it for a week or so especially on a long run so nice and hot but watch you oil pressure just in case. After this drop this oil and replace with the usual and another new filter. I'd add Engine Restore with the new oil. I work mainly on old Jags and this can have a noticeable effect on smoothness of the high mileage ones.
used this engine flush recently on the first oil change of a 1950s diesel excavator in about 40 years. appears to have done a good job, the engine runs noticeably more smoothly, and appears to idle better. the pilot that came out was very poor, and with a strainer rather than a true filter I suspect a lot of gunk was being recirculated
as a mechanic - you can use this. but use it as a economic way to keep a car that has been neglected running. A Engine thats been kept in its intervals and got a oil change every 10k miles shouldnt have that much oil coal buildup anyways.
I've been using this product on my two Benzs for over 4 years now. I also use it on my clients' cars as well. I don't measure it. I pour the entire bottle in and run it.

I used the liqui Molly engine flush on my E90 and it did clean out quiet a bit of gunk. I just got an oil change every 7500 miles now using liqui Molly engine oil.
I use this on all my cars every 5 oil changes (I do 4500mi OCI) as instructed by LiquiMoly as preventative maintenance. I also do this with brand new cars, every 22,500 miles. I also change the PCV valve and drop in a can of Ceratec after every flush. I have Subarus in my stable and not a single one of them burns oil, which is a problem on some of the EJ and early FB motors. About halfway to the next flush, I get a little bit of oil in the catch can with every change. 10mL on the third one, 13mL on the fourth one, and 17mL on the last one before the engine flush. This shows a little carbon building up on the oil control rings, but not enough to burn a noticeable amount of oil. I pull a sample to send to Blackstone before adding the flush (I drain an equal amount as the bottle of flush from the Valvomax fitting I install in all my Subbies), let it do it's thing, do my change, and I'm back to having a dry catch can for another 13500 miles. My Oil Analysis always comes back with flying colors (way better than the average for my cars, and one has 230k miles on it, all of them from me).
Seems to work pretty damn well.
yeah saw video on auction auto saab oil pressure problem and valves rattle. he bought it and ran ,, problem solved
Taking a torch to the OHV assembly:
Goodbye valve seals
Why Liqui Moly says leave the engine to idle is because it is a detergent, not a lubricant. Oil's ability to lubricate is decreased with this additive, but cleaning ability is greatly increased, so running it at load can in worst case harm the engine.
Even if you bought the engine new, even if you make regular oil changes, even if you are a conservative driver, there is always be build up of sludge inside the engine.
Not only due to environment conditions (extremely low or high temperatures), but also to the way various components degrade over time (e.g., seals).
This is especially relevant today, as engines are quite more complex, and oil is used to lubricate even more components than just the crankshaft.
Don't just don't if a motor has been neglected than that's a problem this is a bandaid not intended as a fix if the motor is seriously slugged you don't have much to gain and a lot to lose. All that crude will break off, where does it go from there? Inside the motors oil passages, into the main bearings and probably worst of all the oil pump catch screen. This may liquify slugs to an extent but it will not remain in that form for long, these are alcohol based products, the evaporate at room temp (to a degree) a fully warmed up motor is more than enough to evaporate it and what left after a oil change will harden back up.
Focus think sludge is only a bad thing but it does have some benefits as it will quiet a loud motor and will also junk up worn out gaskets, if you use something like this the end result could very well be a loud, ticking, leaky mess (which originally existed I will admit) but with the sludge that settles removed from said gaskets causing any previously existing damage to become more obvious (like increased oil leaks). Theres just not a lot to gain, motor oil has a ton of detergent in it the way it is if you have a problem simply change the oil more often that is by far the safest bet the stuff is intended to clean.
Best case someone uses this on a motor in good condition to remove some slight varnish, no major sludge exists to be removed so no fear of clogging the oil pump catch screen however there isn't much to gain from this best case either. If you do use this please follow up with a short oil change even if you buy the cheapest oil you can find and run it for 200-300 miles to help flush any remaining lose sludge out it will be worth the added time (assuming you're doing your own oil change).
Well said
i agree with you... like in malaysia, EO like shell advance ax7(semi synthetic 10W/40) has it own active cleansing technology in it engine oil... for motorcycle 😁😁 what say you?
Could you do the jmb fuel injection Cleaner
very interesting! could you please try and check the results with Syntoflon ET? thanks
I have used It in a Mini r50 engine with 250.000 kms and very noisy tappets and It has almost solved the problem and has made engine smoother.
I bet it was your hydraulic chain tensioner
Possibly hydraulic lifters had sludge in them blocking them. You get tapping from that.
Some people would say that I am not rational changing my oil every 7000km but I don't give a damn. Oil is cheaper than engines.
Cheap oil (I use Mannol) is about 30% the cost of branded oil for 5w30, has the same specifications and works just as well.

Just used this on my 17 Mini Cooper S with 57,000 miles. Average oil changes have been every 4000 miles prior to flushing the engine. Make sure you mix this with your current oil in the crank case after the engine is up to temp. Idle for 10-15 minutes depending on engine condition. Drain oil. I would suggest using a rinse oil (same weight and type-synthetic, conventional, etc.) but less expensive than the oil you plan to use for the actual oil change). Run that for 10-15 minutes. Then drain and change oil and filter per your standard process. My head was relatively clean prior to the flush but, the flush did quiet the motor down a bit and smooth out the idle, especially in sport and sport+ mode. If you do regular maintenance, flushing the motor should not cause any issues.
Now I'm convinced to try this on my 06 altima
Just to be clear, if your going to flush your engine/transmission do it right, change your oil twice, and your filter once. After you’ve done the initial oil change and put a new filter on, drive for a few miles and then drain the oil again. If it’s still clean your good, if not then go ahead and change it once more. Also it’s typically not a good idea to use transmission flush if yours hasn’t been maintained very well. When people say that oil is the only thing holding it together, that can very well be the case. Seen it happen plenty of times.
It does t damage the engine. It only removes the gunk in the damaged engine that was constricting the oil flow.
@@im-that-guy-pal never said it did. However if it’s been a long time with transmissions or an engine with no change, your gonna discover alot of leaks that you never knew you had before.
I have also used engine flush to remove varnish from the friction plates in limited slip differentials with very positive results.
I used it on my 22year old Merc SUV, seemed to work well,No side effects 3years on.
Great demonstration
I use liqui moly in my integra and it always makes a difference, it’s really good stuff and worth it!
I wonder if using it a few times at a 5% mix would be more gentle than the 10% mix. My 6g72 twin turbo engine has lifter tick and I want to try to clean it before changing to big bore lifters.
Well, the algorytm has blessed me - So as a mechanic allow me to shred some facts upon you on additives.
Adding an additive like this will indeed clean the engine as you see here, Problem is when you add it to the engine oil, the lubricating abilities of the oil gets reduced and you also change the viscocity of the oil (viscosity being rather important to maintain correct oil pressure). Now in a lawnmower engine i doubt it'll have much effect but in modern cars, prolonged useage with additives in the oil can cause serious damage.
Especially now that the piston rod bearings have been replaced, They used to be constructed from lead, but due to enviormental rules blabla they're made from a less toxic metal, Wich sadly is damaged easier.
There is also the question on wether or not such additives will cause damage to gaskets and internal o-rings in the engine. ( i.e an engine oil cooler if your car has that)
most engine oil now days are contained detergent, so just change engine oil regulary will help to keep your engine clean.
I use this on my Mercedes E55 AMG and my Jeep Wrangler it works wonders!
In fact, I use all Liqui Moly oil products and additives! Opened up my engine to do my valve covers and it looks brand new!
Liqui Moly is the best! Their new oil Molygen is the best! Better than any other oil I have used! I also love there certec!
Do you use molygen in your car?
I recently started using LM Octane Booster because except for one brand, none of the premium fuels here have enough octane, or god forbid, more than required... actually I just order a 5-pack after firing through a 3-pack this past weekend :) I looked in to flushes and would use this, but I don't because I have the car serviced at the dealership and of course they don't approve, but if I buy a pre-owned car, I would use this first thing.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the NIA community.
What can we try next?
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO tribotex!
I have used engine flush once before. Let the car idle for about 10mins maybe a bit less. Pulled the plug and let everything drain while I inspected the suspension and brakes. Wanted to make sure it drained everything that it was going to. After put the drain plug back in with a new crush washer(first oil change of my ownership). Filled up with formula shell oil and a wix filter.
That was well over a year ago.still not a problem.
Amazing And Very Informative 💯👍🏾
Great video mate. Like how you done it, I think it keeps it interesting the way you done it. Quite fun and useful too so most likely going to give the flush ago on the new project car after seeing this. Cheers mate
Cheers Mate .
Soundz Like ya Strailyun Mate from Strailya huh .

I DOES WORKS WONDERS!!
I ALWAYS DO IT TO MY MERCEDS DIESEL(w123)
IT FEEL GRAT AFTERWARDS!
Martin Santillan i was looking for someone using it for diesel and here ur , thanks 🙏
I might try it on my Mercedes Benz S420 with 210,000 miles,it runs but not as good as it should....
After buying a used Prius we noticed it used a good deal of oil on the highway. Using Liquid Moly, synthetic oil, and Restore oil additive, the oil consumption dropped considerably. This isn't a one time deal. We've had to use it again because of the bad design of the piston ring oil supply orifice.
Prius benefit from the PROPRIETARY FORMULA 0W/20 molygen oil.
How often are using this method to slow down the oil consumption?
@@dashcamjourney4599 Once the piston rings start leaking oil, there is no cure besides redoing the piston rings…
@@christophervanzettado they start to wear just with time or is there preventive maintenance that could be done to prevent it
I’ve been using Seafoam in my oil to flush for years, never had a problem
Bought a BMW 335d with 90k miles. They went with the recommended oil change intervals (1 year/15k miles basically) and it was idling a little rough. Threw some oil flush in on after the fresh oil change the dealer did. Put in lm ceratek and their in spec oil for the car. Night and day difference it definitely took some gunk out with it.
Only used flush once, when going from Semi to Fully Synthetic. Used the ORIGINAL Slick50 additive, and that was impressive for friction reduction (quiet engine), but the modern version is useless. If you change the oil on a regular basis you shouldn't get build up anywhere except in the combustion chamber, and maybe a tank of Shell V-Fuel every once in a while would take care of most of that. If additives were any good , don't you think the oil companies would put it in to start with. So to a point in the vlog I certainly agree with, if you think the engine has had a hard life with someone and a flamethrower, sure, go ahead, it makes sense.
What about someone who bought a used vehicle that was not regularly maintained? For instance, an older vehicle that they want to restore. Didn't think about that, did you?
@@TX_Lawyer if you flush an older vehicle, everything that it cleans out can clog the lifters and oil pick up tune. Didn’t think of that?
@@GripGarage There is an old engine slow flush option from liqui moly which will softly remove buildup and not all at once so you dont damage sludge engines.
@@K0nst4nt1n96 Bruh, if the engine was poorly maintained don’t bother. I’m an automotive technician and most people get burned this way ad the damage is already done. There’s no way to reverse it besides a rebuild
@@christophervanzetta why not try it? If it works it works and if it doesnt it doesnt?
My car had problems with the oil flowback valves and one engine flush did the trick and now they work again. I could have replaced them but 10€ for a flush and it worked fine for me.
How I used it, removed old oil, put in cheap but correct type of oil with the same old filters. Idle till operating temp. Put the flush in the engine, run idle whatever min says it to run. Drain oil and keep the oil nut and filter removed for at least 12hours. Then fill with new oil and new filter. It did a good job
@jxxcool Did you put the Liqui Molly inside your engine while the oild was hot or did you wait for the engine to get cold ? I wanna try this as well. Thank you
@@mihai0377 1 year late, yah while it is hot
@@jxx1234 did you put the whole bottle
Thanks for the video.
I used Liqui Moly Engine Flush today on my A6 C6 2.0 TFSI which just passed 250 000km. Did an extra oil change after draining the old oil with the flush in it. It came out dark as the night :) So the Extra Oil change sure did remove even more of the old oil/dirt. Poured new oil in with Liqui Moly Ceratec and the engine is quite as never before. I also noticed the car ran much smoother than before. Less ticking noice which the 2.0 TFSI is fameus for.
Liquimolly flush is awesome. I use it on every single vehicle I work on and/or own.
Have you used it on a modern turbocharged engine as well?
@@kwbalance108 yes. All the time both stock and upgraded turbos.
Is that any side effect such as males your rubber seals in the engine become corrosive?
@@sujatmikoafandi no. As a matter of fact, liquimoly flush specifically has conditioners to replenish and keep your rubber seal healthy so they don’t crack. And changing oil frequently at 3-4k miles prevents them from leaking for considerably longer times. This is important especially in BMWs because these drivers ignore the oil changes for 10-15k miles which leads to leaks in so many of the BMWs & then these cars get a bad reputation. In reality, BMW is no more prone to leaking than Japanese cars that are known for their reliability.
Japanese cars have very low power output so their mechanicals are not subject to performance level stress so they don’t get leaks and issues… BMWs are performance vehicles so the stresses in parts are two to three times higher tham Japanese low powered cars.
Amsoil engine flush next
Coming very soon
Great info once again as always Nate! Keep it up brother! ;)
Man i really do appreciate your kind words. What can you share about these products?
I use exclusively Liqui Moly products on my Audi S3 including the engine flush. I flush mine every 4th oil change and it's always been fine for me.
You just need to make sure you change your oil on a regular basis
I use marvel mystery oil for engine flush ., and works great
VOLTRON i’m with you friend I enjoy Marvels mystery oil it’s a great product and I put my gasoline every time I fill my tank I’m a mechanic of 23 years and I’ve seen great improvements throughout all the vehicles I have owned
simsneon2 can I add that to my 2012 Jaguar XF 5.0 V8?
Makeveli Customs yes marvels mystery oil can be added to your gasoline and engine oil I will say follow the directions on the back of the bottle to the letter it is fairly inexpensive and sold at Walmart it is also catalytic converter safe it helps with upper lubricant when added to the fuel system and also protect coats and cleans the fuel system I love it it’s been around for a very long time I put about 4 ounces in every time I fill my tank but try for two or three tanks if you don’t like it discontinue use I’ve used it for decades now thank you for your interest my friend have a wonderful day
When checking compression needle should jump up half way of maximum at first hit till it Macs out
So I say all that to say iv was adviced that I should use the mystery oil,But would you think it will help unclog my oil lines,or pump or what ever I cloged up??Thanks in advance
thats why its better to change your oil more often
If your engine looks like this inside its to late for any kind of
magic...
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
I have used it , it's good for every engine.
Engine flush works great, cleaned my oil ways when sat for 2 years. Perfect oil pressure resumed again. Ran it for 20mins before changing oil and filter
Which brand you used?
@@aldocraycray liqui moly ofc
This Oil impurities where it goes if it in car engine .
I don’t believe in any flashes
@@user-gb9vd9xv9y it's not a mystery, it's supposed to go down into the oil pan, and you do a full oil change after. i mean it's not going to fully flush clean whole inside of the engine, but it helps clean the major buildups.
@@shawonr3325
That what you think 🤔
Many people do that and they damaged their engine
I use this product with my 93' Mazda Familia, i had 300 thousand KMS and runs great. Liqui Moly is Loqui Moly!
I get the tone that engine flushes are bad from this video. Results speak for itself
I believe engine flushes work very well, my only concern is someone buying a used car with some sort of stop leak in the system getting flushed out. Also the variable valve timing systems may be sensitive to things like it
do you think it might damage a bmw n52 engine ? got it used 170k kilometers
I'm torn as to whether I should do it on my newly purchased 2014 Mini Cooper S with 76k miles. It runs great!, especially after I changed the spark plugs, ignition coils, and air filter and ran intake valve cleaner through the pipe. But in this effort to ensure the car's starting off with as clean of a slate as possible, I'm tempted to flush the engine...then just proceed to take care of all maintenance religiously.
I did the flush and oh my , the car got smoother , quiter and the response was regained
Never seen a stop-leak actually work. At best it might slow the oil loss a tiny bit. These stop leaks have a seal-sweller chemical which can cause main bearing seals to become "wrapped around the axle", literally, which will definitely not help oil consumption
@@chrisjfox8715 Could you share your results if you did this? & If so how often did you have to change your oil to get the black out to normal color oil. Thanks.
My god ! I want go to buy LIQUI MOLY ENGINE FLUSH it now !
Hi, I had problems with my fiat 500 multijet (diesel) with 85K km. The car started to consump far more diesel per mile and was not going as fast as it was. I started with DPF additives. No big change. I proceded with aditives for nozzles. The change was not very significant. I also noticed, the oil at the change was very dirty - black. It's normal on diesels, but this was too much. It's not so old car. When I saw some things about engine flushing on youtube, I bought an engine flusher (Adinol). I took about 1/2 litres of engine oil away and aded Adinol oil flusher. Ran my engine for about 1/2 hour in neutral with pushing throttle up and down and finaly let my oil out. I was surprised at how dirty the oil this time was. I mean - I changed it only 1K kilometers back. I let the oil to get out for several hours, lifting and letting the car up and down - to get everything out. Also changed oil filter. Than have put new oil and filter. When I started the engine and ran it for some time throtteing it up and down, I have checked the oil on my dipstick. It was much cleaner than ever after oil change. After, when using my car, some significant changes occured. First of all - my gas mileage dropped for more than 1 liter/100 KM. The car also seem to be much more alive and fast, but it's hard to say, I haven't do the final test on the highway yet. When the car was new, I made something between 190 and 200 KM/H. Later when problems occured it made 180 KM/H +. Since it's hard to get empty highway, I haven't checked the final speed yet. But my filing is it goes much better, but still not as good as new. I must admit that the greatest job I still have to do - cleaning the intake manifold, valves and EGR valve - be happy for tips.
About the engine flushing, I can only say it is a real revelation for me. I can remember several diesels in my life starting running some kind of heavy at mileage above 50.000 KMs. I think engine flushing would have done a great job for them too.
what car do you have? Planning to do it on my passat diesel at just before 300'000km. I don't have any problems with it, just wanna keep it running smooth.
Some people said engine flush will distribute more gunk and spread it into the whole system and that is the whole point of engine flush. It knock off grime suspen it in oil and then you drain it out, then you refill the engine with more new cheap oil and drain it 2-3 times more while let the engine running a few minutes in between each change to fully remove all the gunk and engine flush residue out. You don’t just put a flush and then do only one drain. Just like you clean your plates, you don’t just scrub it up with soap and then place it on the cupboard right away, you gotta rinse it with water to remove the grease and soap off. And yes doing an engine flush is expensive, that is why you change your oil regularly so stuff like that doesn’t happen.
When it comes to flushes, Ive only ever seen damage when the oil is older and the flushes inadvertently moves some of the "gunk" to the oil pan, then the pickup is blocked and you get engine damage.
Ive used oil flushes (Nulon in particular) for over 14 years on every oil change and its always worked wonders for noisy lifters and getting the most oil out of the engine as possible.
Same way fuel injectors get clogged after using fuel cleaner.
I have used LIQUI MOLY 300mL MoS2 Anti-Friction Engine treatment on every engine, all lasted over 225-400+ miles I own...(the racing teams use it between pit stops), It's just that good. mustang gt 225k, toyota corolla 400k, mercedes 500 300k, F150 290k, thunderbird 5.0 420k, you get the drift, no sludge if you change the oil and buy OEM filters. oB
Commonsense servicing and a quality oil additive. Well played sir.
Mercedes 500 at 300K without major issues??

@@Meekmillan learn to read..
I have a 2006 Chevy suburban that started smoking at about 200,000 miles thought that I had a major problem seen This flush thing that it was made in Germany and decided to give it a test after the first bottle the smoking went away on start up and now I use the additives and the liquid flush every oil change and I’ve noticed my oil pressure being better and my oil consumption being down I have 262,000 miles on it now and it runs like a top
Dont use it too much you’ll eat away your seals and gaskets because of the concentration of detergent
great videoplease try the BG EPR there are many claims about it
You can do the exact same thing by adding a quart of automatic trans fluid to your oil. When Ford first started using vvt, doing an oil change with a quart of trans fluid and driving for 300 miles was step one in the diagnostic process. No bullshit... That's what Ford says to do. So, you can spend however much on this stuff or just change your oil with one quart replaced with a $3 quart of trans fluid.
I really appreciate this thank you for sharing with the NIA Community.
That trick is old as the hills. ATF has strong detergents to keep valve bodies, pumps and orifices clean in automatic transmissions. I have a 2005 Nissan Xtrerra with 450,000 original miles , no rebuild. I installed a Fumoto drain valve and remove 20% of the engine oil and replace it with transmission fluid 500 miles before an oil change. I also used the same technique on my over the road trucks( Mack/Freighterliner/Volvo).The all went over 750,000 to 1,000,000 miles before trading in or selling. I use Liqui-Moly products but not the engine flush . It does work and is a good product but the tranny fluid technique I find works better and is very cost effective..Their Mso2 additive and engine oils are excellent. I cannot forget to mention that Marvel Mystery Oil and Rislone Engine treatment are also excellent for engine cleaning. I have experimented with both products versus ATF . They all work extremely well and are very cost effective.
I was happy to see your comment my uncle taught me that when I was just a 14-year-old boy. 1 quart of transmission fluid in your oil
the problem being ATF wasn't specifically designed to clean but to lubricate, it works because of it's relatively high detergent concentration... but you are better off using purpose built stuff, it's going into the engine after all, get the right stuff and it'll do the job you want it to do properly
something tells me you like guns and trucks
Thank you for the video
Very informative video bro.
The problem with engine flush is that on high mileage cars the oil pick up can get blocked with the gunk that is flushed to the sump. That being said if you own a low mileage car I'd recommend doing it every oil change to stop sludge build up in the first place
Not a sound mechanical theory. If a low-mileage engine is getting sludge it is because of one of two reasons. The oil is not being changed often enough for the type of driving that is being done. Or the engine itself has an endemic sludge problem. Maybe that engine itself is not suitable for constant stop-and-go and short trip driving. If that is the kind of driving someone has to do, in that case maybe they need to get a different vehicle. It might seen incongruous to change synthetic oil every 2500 miles, but if it is required based on the specific engine and the type of driving that is being done to prevent some oil-related problem, then that is what you do.
People think synthetic oil is a miracle product. It isn't. Those extended drain intervals, up to 25,000 miles in some cases, are for vehicles that are driven primarily at highway speeds. Synthetic oil in a vehicle that is not driven enough to even get hot will undergo crystallization. I discovered that in a vehicle I bought a few years back that for years was driven locally only a few miles a week. The son left the same synthetic oil in there for years because his dad was driving very little and he thought it was good for 15,000 miles. Well, it did function as a lubricant but the valve cover area was loaded with crystallization and the rings probably were too. I didn't even know what it was and found out only much later. It was a vehicle that originally used conventional oil and I went back to that and changed it often. The crystallization began to slowly dissolve.
@@anonymike8280 yeah you went on a tangent then bud and pretty much missed my point. Enjoy your night.
Yes, if an engine has much over 100K miles the dirt might be what's holding much of the engine together in terms of oil consumption. MIGHT, I'd say it's still worth a try, but I'd just do a bunch of oil changes, at very short intervals like around 100 miles. AFter 3 or 4 of those, only THEN i'd dump in the flush.
@@anonymike8280 NO DUDE!
Does this have hydraulic lifters? That's what's the problem from what I've heard is the lifter passageways getting blocked
Exactly but no body will answer to this because it’s true 😉
No my car is perfectly fine
I just did a Toyota engine flush with my 660cc Japanese Hatchback. Kept the car idle 15 minutes instead of 10 and surprisingly the engine got smoother and I could feel specially cuz I live in the hills. The car was going up the motorway up the mountain with less effort 👌
Plus more mileage.
Thats for usual engine flushes without alot of gunk. They have a stronger one for really bad oil build up. “Oil sludge flush”
Liqui moly flush is good stuff no doubt about that
Liqui Moly is a reputable German Motor Oil company. I really doubt any of their products will harm your engine if used as directed. Last time I checked Liqui Moly makes OEM oil for VW; the world's largest auto maker.
Я из России тоже заливаю vw polo sedan Ликви молли,у нас много поддельного масла в стране,я за рулем 35 лет меняю масла сам,но полностью масло не сливается через пробку при смене 300 грамм остается примерно и оно смешивается с новым маслом при замене
That's not a compliment, v/w have went downhill since the eighties ,too many sensors and electronics,why use additives when their supposed engineering is so good?Would love some comments on vw.
Vw is the company that lied emissions? Oh yeah it is. And it is also reputable German company? Yes right
