1500 miles driven so far, oil still full. so far it's a success (switched from 5W-20 to 5W-30)
You need to use whatever oil type the manufacturer recommends, that’s a modern engine and won’t benefit from that like an old engine would
@@312Drive modern engines actually benefit fuel and oil wise if you use a lower oil. Beings you use 5w-20, switch to 0w-20
Any longer term update?
Still oil in the spark plugs?
Switching to 5w30 not going to hurt ur engine I wish people would keep there BS to them selves great video thanx for sharing I did same but I switched to 5w40 and it's been about a year now on my toyota that's infamous for having this issue and no problems good luck.
Thanks for the video. Doing this on a 2014 Kia Rio that burns oil and killed a catalytic converter. Just changed the CAT and O2 sensors. Doing the piston soak this weekend. You must have been nervous because you said “basically” probably 100 times in an 8 minute video. No need to be nervous, you did a good job!
*perform at your own risk and use your best judgment during the process in regard to the total amount of chemical to use, duration of soak, rpm range with chemical in engine..
Performed the b12 soak on a '16 Hyundai Sonata 2.4l with 131,000 miles on engine and oil consumption just over 1 quart per 500 miles on 8-18-24. PCV valve is good. Used 3.5 cans of Berryman b12 over a 45-hour period. Experienced similar rough start after cylinder soak. I had a lot of smoke initially. Rough idle continued, so ran engine at high idle 4,000rpm for ten minutes. Experienced darker smoke during this time. Car was still having a rough time idling without throwing any check engine lights. Went for a test drive and vehicle stalled, loss of power. Got the vehicle restarted. By this time, idle had evened out somewhat. Took the vehicle on a high way drive set in 4th gear at 4,500rpm for twenty-five minutes. Upon returning, I changed the oil and filter. I plan to change the spark plugs soon. If anyone reads this in the future and would like an update, feel free to comment. Will probably be around the first of September 2024 before I have anything to update on.
Brother you ran a car for 25 minutes at 4500 rpm with 3.5 cans of berrymans in it? I hope you have good news in September but I doubt it.
Update me!
I'm going to forget to follow up but I'm really interested in your results.
@@KiczzciK496 miles driven since soak. No noticeable oil loss! Will check it again around the 1,000 mile mark.
@@undertheinfluencegarage4361496 miles driven since the piston soak. Oil is at the full mark. Minimal if any oil loss. To note that prior to soak, I was consuming just over 1 quart per 500 miles. Appears to be a success in my book. I will continue to monitor and check again at around 1,000 miles.
New drinking game... take a shot everytime he says the word "Basically". I dare you!! LOL!
lets goooo lol. yea, I'm just happy that this procedure stopped oil burn completly at least 850 miles
Basically.
I came here to say the same thing hahaha nice lol cheers
Valvoline has a new motor oil called restore & protect. They claim that it will clean up pitons and rings. I haven't has a chance to try it yet, but I have used the B-12 soak on a 2015 Forte that was burning a lot of oil. It definitely helped the the oil consumption.
Apparently works extremely well. There's a video by a guy named "Oil Geek" who made a video on it recently and had an interview with the lab who developed it.
@@Evoo-py5js Yes, I saw that video, but I am hoping to see some real results from users.
@@philjerome9795 Based on my searches through forums, it seems to work for oil consumption. Many people reported that by the 2nd or 3rd oil change that oil consumption reduced entirely and as low as 50%.
I have a Hyundai accent 2014 - around 120'000 km and it looses almost .5 to 1 liter of oil every week, Thanks for your super informative video,
that procedure may help to reduce the consumption at least
Its a good idea to crank the engine over, with the spark plugs out, before trying to start it.
totally forgot about it that's why it longer to start it
Doesn't take much liquid in a cylinder to hydro lock and cause damage. @@312Drive
yeas that why I made sure it was dry before putting spark plugs in
Basically.
Yeah, but if you use B12 it probably will evaporate most of it by the end of the soak. DIfferent story if you use Marvel Mystery Oil which is more oily than alcoholy.
Hyundai are direct injected engines there for are prone to having unusually gigh amounts of carbon build-up my suggestion in addition to what u have done adding a catch can will go a long way in keeping ur engine running strong i also started running premium because of the higher amounts of detergent in the fuel and a few times a year i run 15w40 synthetic oil for diesel due to its higher concentration of detergents as simple maintenance just food for thought. Ive had great success so far and im pushing close to 200k
Basically I liked this video
Too much basically...😎😎😎
basically...
The amount of smoke that came out of my 328i filled the street with white smoke for about the length of a football field. It cleaned my oil sensor so now it's working properly again. Also not burning a drop of oil and no oil burning smell. I couldn't be more happy. I used my tools and a bore scope. I just did a 8 hour soak. Topped off Then rinse flushed out the spark plug holes. The amount of carbon was monstrous. Although the crankcase is in pristine condition meaning this car had normal oil changes before I bought it in March. I couldn't be more happier. Next is ultrasonic cleaning the fuel injectors.
Awesome!
What so u mean rinse flushed the spark plug hole. I just started the piston ring soak on my 2013 Camry with 250k on it. I plan on just turning it over without the spark plugs in it.
I’d like a little help here lol
My apologies. Yes so after letting it soak with berrymans b12. For 8 hours I then used sea foam maybe a quarter cup in each spark plug hole then wait 5 min and turn the engine over to flush it. Now the carbon does a number on the catalytic converter as it was like burning coles threw there. It was just carbon though. I'm going to use cataclean next week. Also you will get misfires and hesitation. I put on new coils and ruthenium plugs. As of now my oil is still full 600 miles in. And I don't smell any oil burning. Also keep in mind just sea foam will not work. You have to do the soak with berrymans
@@Centralflorida22 thanks bro, I did it yesterday for a couple of hours with a bottle of berrymans. I did like 110 ml in each cylinder. After 2 hours it was gone. So I turned it over without plugs in and the first 2 cylinders had a bunch of carbon come out. But cylinder 3 and 4 were relatively clean. I’m guessing those were the problem cylinders. I use my car for work so i didn’t have much time. But i plan to do it again. I hope it helped only time will tell.
Berryman B-12 has a high evaporation rate from just using it. It is very good at softening/lossening the carbon build-up but I noticed levels in the chambers do drop alot fairly quickly and don't believe it made it's way past the rings into the sump. Going to do another piston soak to see if can clean up last bit or carbon still in there but will re-install the spark plugs to limit evaporation this time to see if it makes a difference.
Worked for Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2017- 155k miles drove 1200 no more oil consumption
And no codes popped after the treatment
I used 5w-30 valvoline
Awesome video man! So how is it going? Has the oil consumption totally stopped? BTW you mentioned you had issues with the cat converter also, how did you manage it? Did you clean it?
stopped in my case 90% which is success. new cat installed. got one for 150$ on eBay and welded by exhaust shop for $220
@@312Drive $220 is a lot for a weld. I paid $60 under the table last time. Woulda been more like $100 if I went through the shop.
@@aznnp77 not in WA 220 was cheaaaap
I would recommend doing a induction service as well, I bet this intake valves are covered in carbon
I've done it but may need to again if this procedure reduces significantly oil burn. so far seems promising
I would be careful putting that in the oil...I've used it and mixed it with MMO because B12 is a very high solvency chemical and would probably really destroy the gaskets especially rubber or at the very least accelerate their complete failure...and Unless you have a vehicle design to run on E85, I won't even run that in my gas tank for fear of destroying fuel pump / system parts.
I would like to see a more detailed video on turning the engine with the wrench and setting the cylinders to same level. '16 sonata 2.4l gdi consumes oil at 1qt per 500miles.
half turn set mine in the middle. you may need that camera to look into cylinders
I tried it for a couple days didn’t help mine. Cylinder 4 miss fire only 30 pounds of compression oil on spark plug smokes like crazy. May try it one more time
Run Valvoline’s restore and protect and all of your problems will go away. 5k oil intervals.
I may try some next oil change but I doubt a regular motor oil can make much difference for something like this. My car has a lot of miles on it though, so oil burn is expected. I'm burning like 1 qt every 1000-1200 miles.
If car burn engine oil try oil castrol edge synthetic 5w30 high mileage or pennzoil 5w30 synthetic high mileage oil . These 2 engine oil are best if car burns engine oil
We get 350 miles per quart in my 2012 Scion XB. I plan on trying this method. We already switched to Valvoline's Clean and Protect. I guess the oil must be in the car longer than 3 days to be effective.
Yes as it must not block the oil filter with too much crap as it will damage the engine, has to do it 'softly softly catchie.... ' over time
@raymondrussek2998 I did this on my 2012 Scion xB. I swear, it is like a new engine. Barely uses any oil anymore. I put a quarter can of berrymans in each cylinder and let it sit over night. Changed the oil after I was done to be safe
Can I use another mark of fuel injector cleaner?
maybe you can but this thing is available on amazon for 5-6$
How many miles this car have? Did your car stop burning oil? I have a Santa Fe sport and it burns like 2 quarts every 800 miles.
My Toyota 2AZFE was using too much oil but had no leaks but I found out they had a problem with the drain holes in the piston rings blocking up. I put Seafoam in the oil and did about 1000km and changed the oil and it's been fine. I don't know if the Santa Fe had the same problem but maybe look into it.
it has 100k so far drove 250 miles oil still full no smoke in my exhaust will update at 1k miles 2k miles and 3k miles
@@312Drive thank you
@@bunyip250 how much seafoam in the oil?
@@SOUTHWEST_PILOT 30ml per litre of oil or one ounce per quart, there's plenty on youtube about it. Project Farm or Chrisfix are the best. I just found I was losing oil again but no leaks on the ground but the engine was a little messy and it turned out I had lost the seal on the engine oil filler cap somehow. It was spitting out and being burned up on the engine so look out for that too.
How many times you had to turn the key to get the car started? I think I'm up to like 15 now and I'm getting kinda worried.
I pulled spark plug after trying for 5min or so to clean then it started in 10-15min or so don't remember how many times tho
If you smell this product. You will notice it smells just like paint thinner. But not like lacquer thinner. I bet paint thinner from Home Depot or Lowe's would give you the same results. Also the young man in the video should have performed a hot soak , instead of a cold soak of pistons. Also you are supposed to pour a can in the gas tank! Think about your entire fuel delivery system also!
@@MissionaryForMexico you have no idea what you’re talking about. It flashes extremely quickly, heat is not beneficial. It’s a chemical soak. If you want to know what’s in it, look up the MSDS. You’re dangerous dude.
Good video
thnx, hope it helps someone too
Basically.
basically how many basically think you did to fix it ?😅😂
Cant finish vid when every other word is basically.🤦♂😁
(I know it's annoying) yea noticed it lol before I would use "pretty much" a lot now it's "basically"
bro i think you basically have a problem with a basically world😅😅😅
where to buy the tool to take out the liquid ？
I got it on amazon, if u let is sit longer it should soak fully. I was no patient. (also u can ignite a few time without spark plugs so liquid is fully out of cylinders.)
@@312Drive my car is wireless touch/push to ignite, is it work ?
@@jae7230 yes car wont start without spark plugs, you can watch on youtube how to do it but I didnt since I had pistons dry before putting spark plugs in
Amazon has 12 volt transfer fuel pump..
It works very good.
@@jae7230 did it work? I have keyless too on my sportage? Is there any specific procedure, or just keep pushing the button? Thx
obviously a very "basic" process
time consuming but true
Really basic comparing to rebuilding or replacing the engine. Very true.
Did anyone get a total “basically” count?
Unlimited!
I just basically watched this video. Basically
Basically
It's under warranty.
tricky! if your car has less than 100k. they will ask you to provide oil change receipts for every 3750 miles, they will try really hard to not cover it. I tried they say 1qt oil per 1000miles is normal and charge you for testing diagnosis etc.
@312Drive Wrong there a campaign kia and hyundai has oil Consumption problems . They extended the warranty on all vehicles, and yours is one of them. I sent customers to the dealer for this all the time. You just have to have proof of all your oil changes. And they have to be done on time
@@6jdhd I did not own it till 90k so I will not have a proof for oil changes since 2015 and so with many other people. trust me they will find a way to not honor many many people and I'm not dealing with them. I had 2017 sonata with 55k miles engine blew up. they did not cover it. go figure.
100k power train warranty is only for the first owner. Unless you buy a certified preowned Kia or Hyundai the power train warranty reduces to 5yr/60k miles for the consequent owners.
bingo, imagine how many second owners after 60k miles. same happened with my sonata with I bought at 54k in 1k engine blew and that was their reason u're not the first owner. crazy. but it is what it is.
It's all crape
