Just found this. I have several comments,
1st- No axle stands! if you don't have them put the spare wheel under one front wheel, jack seals can fail suddenly.
2nd - Use a cheap, thicker grade of oil such as a mineral 15W-50 or 20W-50 to allow for the reduction in viscosity caused by the Diesel fuel.
3rd- IMPORTANT. Premix the Diesel with the oil before you add it to the engine.
4th- Don't use 50/50 mix. The resulting oil/fuel mix will be too thin to lubricate bearings with some wear in them, and a worn oil pump will not generate enough pressure. 20% Diesel to 80% oil is more than sufficient, as long as you use a thick oil, even 10%- 90% works OK, see 2nd point above. Also this means you don't need to flush the engine again with pure oil as there will be hardly any residual diesel in the engine after draining the flushing mixture. Just add the new oil (after changing the filter, see 6th point).
5th- If you have to use a 5W30 oil only put 10% Diesel in, it still works.
6th- After draining the old oil, replace the oil filter then run the flush which will fill the new filter with a lot of flushed gunk. Then dump this, drain the flushing oil and put another new filter in.
How do I know? well I have done this procedure many times and got it wrong once which resulted in ruined big ends and main bearings in an older engine. Lesson learned!
Do you start the engine at all and let it run? New to this - sorry if that's a dumb question. Anything missing in this guide that a noob would flat out not understand? Doing this to my 2018 Dodge Ram and don't want to mess it up, lol.
@@sirnicholibraden86 Hi, not a dumb question. I must have not made it clear. So here is the procedure.
1) Drive the vehicle a few miles with the old oil in to get it hot.
2) Drain the oil and replace the filter.
3) Fit new filter and fill with flush mix.
4) Run the engine for at least 15 minutes but don't drive it (because modern engines are more sensitive to lubrication under driving loads, think turbos etc.) Rev the engine to about 3000 a few times to make sure all the galleries and parts, e.g. hydraulic lifters, get properly washed.
5) Drain the flush mix and replace filter.
6) Fill with new oil.
I hope this has covered everything. Let me know if not.
Do you get any oil seal or gasket leaks after diesel flush?
Question. I will follow these steps @bimble7240. I am going to use ATF Fluid for 10 Miles 1 Quart. Can I add half a QT of Diesel as well then drain as above steps? Will it Hurt to use both?
Cheers.
Car in non turbo etc Friend. Just want to gently drive it to 40mph for 10miles or Less.
@@cebtropico Not sure why you want to use ATF instead of diesel. In any case don't use both. Don't use more than 20% diesel and add it to a 15W-40 or 10W-40 cheap mineral oil. I wouldn't drive it, just leave at fast idle (2000-3000 revs) per my previous answer, but if you have an older lazy (low output, large capacity) OHV engine it may be OK but don't let the engine slog. Keep the revs up in a lower gear to maintain good oil pressure). If your crank bearings and big ends are worn I wouldn't try driving it as the thinner oil mixture will leak out faster and oil pressure may drop.
Best way to clean the gunk out of a poorly maintained vehicle. I did this back in 2010 on my car and it worked beautifully. Oil pressure went up, idle went back to normal and the engine spun much freely. Great video
I’ve used Diesel for YEARS and I started using it on a 4.0L Jeep Laredo with 327K original miles and after a flush that motor felt BRAND NEW , I did this every 3 oil changes … I am TRUE BELIEVER IN DIESEL FLUSH!!!!! Do it!!! Do it!!
Diesel fuel is safer than kerosene to flush an engine with, Diesel fuel has paraffin wax added to lubricate the injection pump and injectors, so it is less likely to cause a spun bearing or other failure due to the extremely thin fluid.
When I lived back in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 I worked at a gas station ⛽️. I used to change car oil and motorcycle 🏍 oil A lot of the guys always asked me to pour diesel into their bikes engine, which I did, the ran it for about a min or two. Flushed it out then put oil. The engine was always kept nice and clean. I don’t remember ever doing on cars tho’ 🚗. What I was asked to do was to wipe that chasis underneath the cars with Diesel to prevent corrosion, the cars I did that to never had any corrosion and it the chasis was always nice and clean.
JACK STANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who the fuck are you?...OSHA?
@@nickgraupman8457 Good one....
It's one of the first things I thought when I saw that fool under his car! 🤦♂️
He sits too, ya know .
I made my own with 1x1 ft lumber. I also have jack stands
all the engine flush will be worthless if the car falls on you please next time use jack stand
My neighbors son was killed by a Jack like that. It leaked slowly and pinned him , nobody was there to save him. Crushed slowly.
@@forrestgumpv9049 Ill second that - just last week in NY, 2 days before 4th of July - My buddies dad was changing his oil... The jack gave out and crushed him - all the while my buddy had not long ago pulled up, but was talking on his cell outside by his car.... hadnt gone right into the garage. Jackstands - or DONT DO IT.
Yup.. I had a jack collapse. Luckily I'm not stupid enough to be under the car with only a jack and was just changing a wheel . Me - 1 grim reaper - 0
@@forrestgumpv9049 I know someone that happened to when I was a teenager, very sad...
Brother in law of my neighbour was badly injured after he had the car high on unstable wood and it collapsed.
I use to use 2ltrs of diesel in my 4age Toyota engine but only run it for around 2 minutes, then flush again with oil...works brilliant!
Hello Junky-DIY-guy, Thanks for your Video very informative, I do basically the same think but a little more elaborate, I do that only every two years or so, I do the following:
a) Drain the old Oil
b) Put a cheap Oil filter (Change the Oil filter for a new cheap one).
c) put a mix of 50% Kerosene and 50% of a cheap Oil
d) Let engine run for 10 to 15 Minutes
e) Drain the Kerosene and Oil Mix
f) Put a cheap Oil
g) run the engine again for 10 or 15 Minutes
h) Drain the Cheap Oil
i) Change the Cheap Oil filter to a new GOOD QUALITY Filter
j) Put a good Synthetic oil
The idea of step "F" is to drain as much as the kerosene as possible and leave the engine with as much clean oil as possible, I been doing this to my cars since my very first car (that was more than 38 years ago) Never had a problem and my engine has last for more than 200K Miles W/O problem, Obviously I try to change the Oil religiously and do my best to keep my cars with good maintenance, Also for the people that say it will eat the seals of the engine, that is not true , If Gas-Oil (Diesel) or Kerosene with do that to our engines, then our engine will be gone LONG TIME AGO.
BTW: For your security next time use car stands, an JACK is not secure, ask me how I know.
Again thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for your generous feedback. Yaa my car now has over 268000 kms and has no issues what so ever. Petroleum based products like diesel might degrade rubber seals if you keep them soaked in diesel for like i don't know 2 years, but it does nothing during a 15 minutes flush, Btw i only did this once to get the crud out of the engine (due to lack of oil change by previous owner) just after i bought the car second hand at 216000 kms. I do a lot of city driving so I do change oil at every 5000 - 6000 kms so that's around 3500 miles i guess. Coz i'm one of those guys that buy a reliable car and then keep it forever. i wanna keep this engine at least i reach half million kms. You probably know this that if you do care of something, they will last. Btw i love your saying "ask me how i know" :)
@@JunkyDIYguy Do you think it's ok to push oil changes to 5 thousand miles? I use a synthetic blend on my 2000 GMC truck and it has 225 thousand miles.
The 1/2 oil and 1/2 diesel or kerosene is optimum...cleans yet maintains viscoscity so it doesn't score the bearings and tear up the engine....idle for 10-15 min (NO LOAD!!!!)
2x times flush and it should be good to go...remember to change oil at good intervals...5K miles is the most on regular dyno oil, 7.5k on synthetic
this is the exact procedure we used on Porsche ! good details
Dear why you use Kerosine instead of Diesel ? It that better?
Thanks for replay
I did a diesel flush on my poorly maintained VW Golf when I bought it. Last oil change had been 20000 miles ago and the lifters were ticking. The flush oil was just as black as the first.
Now it runs super smooth without any ticking
I do the exact same thing with my car , use a flush for 15-20 min , use a cheaper oil as a secondary flush , then use fully synthetic 5w 30 .
1) Someone else already mentioned the use of jack stands! or you could use wood or stone blocks with the jack still in place as a back up.
2) Never add diesel separately as it is too thin and you washed the oil off the bearings and lifters. when you start the engine, you will not have a consistent oil to diesel ratio until it fully mixes during the cycles through the engine. So pre-mix your oil and diesel and then add to the engine!
3) Did your Mother give you a beating for messing up the driveway and table for your experiments?
I wouldn't worry too much about sludge getting in the oil galleries. The oil filter will catch most of that. Most of the sludge tends to build up in the cylinder head(s), and drops into the pan. As long as the pickup tube screen doesn't become clogged, it will just harmlessly go into the oil filter. The oil pump gears do a very good job 'grinding' it up. Watch your oil pressure closely. In some engines, the pressure sender is BEFORE the oil filter, and you may see an unusually high oil pressure at idle. If the pressure jumps, time for a new filter. Others, it is AFTER the filter, and if you see a big drop in pressure, time to replace the filter.
Be careful doing this because the diesel mixture will thin out your oil i suggest getting thicker oil than you usually use and letting that work itself around
the music over voice is VERY ANNOYING
the voice is annoying too

Alien Mechanic
Holy shit dude your comment isn't nice. The guy can't help how his voice sounds.
Lala Land I had a hard time trying to understand what he was saying
I’m not making fun of his voice. Just couldn’t understand most of it.
This was commonly used on long haul diesel trucks in the 50s and 60s to clean the engines before oil changes, have heard of trucks doing 800k to a million miles using this method.
On your initial comparison, you also forgot that the oil filter probably had quite a bit of the old oil in it, which combined with remaining oil from the first drain, dirtied it up. Nice video.
Also, my dad was a master mechanic and I remember him telling me how they did something similar to this back in the 50's. Oil was sludgier back then. Not sure I'd be willing to use the diesel in either of my vehicles. I have added some Sea Foam though, and Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase before oil changes though. But I normally use Mobil 1 full synthetic, and oil stays clean for the first 500 miles IIRC.
Your a fool
Wait...This dude got under a car held up by only a floor jack? Scary.
Did you loose oil pressure during the flushing
Joe m thank you for your sincere suggestion i got your point,but this knocking sound is on and off its not apears when start car morning its apears when temperature reaches on normal when stop on signa or any where but when i accelerate its goes and also not apear while drive fast,thats why i thought parhaps this flushing should work.
the knocking sound could be the tappets a tappet could be slightly bent litteraly exact same prob on my 2001 e320
Great video, but please use axle stands for safety when jacking up your vehicle....
Frank di LEO I hate to be cruel, but let nature take its course. If he chooses not to use jack stands and the jack fails, then his lack of common sense was bound to catch up with him.
Uncle Ed told me that grandpa has been doing that as long as he could remember, Uncle Ed would be a 100+ years old this year, so this ain't new
5000kms range then oil change..thats when its used often (start n go) when im not using car often i space it up to 8000kms before oil change...works for me👌
wow what a waste of oil man
it would be very very unlucky if this caused a problem especially when all the oil drains back into the sump and goes through the filter to re lube the the engine my only concern is the engine bearings but at idle and not under load they should be fine .. and he is totally right your engine will sound like and run like new if nothing has been damaged by the sludge
here in the USA diesel fuel comes in a few different colors yellow,green, blue, red. mostly the yellow is bio diesel. red is for off road died fuel for heating oil and such
You should of took a pic of the engine (under oil cap) If that was my car i would use a cheaper oil and flush that out again.I use Magnatec myself it's great oil plus i do little miles,stop/start with town use.Good video thou,cheers.
From the very start of the video, you sounded like the rapper of the intro music.
You were narrating actually.
In a high km used Audi a4 car that was neglected from the previous owner, i drained the oil and put inside the engine 4 liters of diesel. It worked perfectly for me. I had zero problems.
Thank you for sharing this video. When the sludge breaks loose, can it cause damage to the engine as it's floating around? Or, does the sludge break down to a harmless particle size from getting washed off from the diesel and cause no damage?
If it’s bad, it can clogged small oil pathways

Ur car driven 2,16,000 something kilometersBut it was looking new from the under neeth.Any reason?
M I right ? Is it 2,16,000+++???
hi Junky DIY Guy, your demo is good, but, my question is, would that be possible to perform such procedure in a 2.5 direct injection engines? thanks in advance.
its really depending on the condition of the engine. Better to have it checked by a mechanic before you do that.
i doubt if they would recommend diesel to flush my engine because they dont even know about this procedure,i mean they never performed this one yet..I would actually like to do it soon but I just had my oil changed last week..IMO,this procedure can be done in my engine.just my 2 cents..
Insteed of adding some new oil with desiel, can we add me some grease with desiel for flush, plz reply
No
Your videos are good.
Will this clear out a blockage and cause my oil pressure to go down? Because it's way up and over right now
I am having the same problem, don't listen to people telling you that high pressure is good once it gets past a certain point it can severely damage your engine it will cause your oil filter to collapse in on itself and can blow out your seals, all vehicles have a relief valves somewhere usually in the oil pump, sometimes those can go bad and cause your pressure to go to High also you could just have blockage and it could be like your finger over a garden hose either one is bad for your engine
Use new filter BEFORE flush & a new one at the end
my grandpa bought a old work truck that was severely abused and mistreated and not well maintained first time i changed the oil for him when he first got it it was so black and sludged up from the owner never changing the oil the truck was white smoking really bad on startup and would do so till about 5 minutes after startup so i had enough room to add 3 quarts of red dyed diesel and flush it for about 35 minutes at idle flushed it then flushed all the diesel out with fresh oil then changed the oil again 5 quarts of Shell Rotella 10W-30 with 1 quart of Lucas Oil stabilizer and it’s ran flawlessly with no problems ever since with no more white smoking 🙂👍👍
With diesel engines, some of them allow for up to 10% diesel in the oil due to DPF regens. I'd be a little worried about the oil being too thin by putting any more than that into any engine, particularly with the thin oils that go in them. Probably safer to put 10% diesel in a week before an oil change.
just use a little ( 1/2 qt ) of atf with every oil change. keeps your engine spotlessly clean, keeps lifters cleaned out , prevents rings from seizing and doesn't eat your seals.
atf is abrasive and will eat your bearings.....thats why a trans uses ball bearings and not sleeve bearings like a crank and cam
actually had the same type fail on me when i changed the tires, went slow tho, but still. Safety first dude.
Did you also get cold start blue smoke form your Aurion ? Apparently that's a very common issue on poorly maintained car.
yaa when i bought it, but then i add in a bottle rislone engine treatment and it was fixed right away.
I bought an aurion with no service history, it was poorly maintained. Last month it started blowing smoke and it was pretty bad. Engine light came on telling - Dirty oil. I did about 6-7 flushes with different engine oil flush solvents from supercheap and still didn't fix the issue. I took the front rocker cover off and cleaned the sludge manually. The car still blows smoke and after long drive, car becomes very smoky. Currently, discussing the issue here:
au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/54384-2009-aurion-blowing-smoke-on-acceleration/
At some point in time (probably before flushing) u should have dropped your oil pan and throughly cleaned any metal or dirt out of it first.
Or just leave the oil plug out, and pour diesel straight through the engine.
If you have an engine that has loads of sludge and varnish, and it's never been flushed.. Don't Flush! If you have low millage vehicle, that you flush once a year, or even every oil change.. No Problem. There is an issue with using diesel to flush your engine.. Diesel can be absorbed by some gaskets, as the gasket dries it can shrink, causing leaks. The very best way to flush your engine, is with fresh new oil.
Just use Heavy duty extreme Diesel Flush by wynns, Before changing oil, and then run Nitro+diesel mix from Shell for a couple of days - 1 week, so you can clean your injectors/ fuel system. Then Thats about a nice healthy diesel.
It's a petrol engine.
toyota engines were known to have a sludge issue. the pcv system clogs frequently and therefor yields significant carbon deposits in the oil. I would actually do this every oil change just to be sure.
if you are only idling the vehicle and only running it for 20min...there should be no issue...unless there is already an issue.
seafoam openly says to do this with their product. they say you can't add too much. that's what I did and I had to replace an engine because, and I opened up the engine, their were significant deposits of carbon flakes that clogged the oil passages.
Same on an old blazer of mine...F seafoam
My buddy does this, now two of his cars have oil leaks in the rear main seal. Wonder why.
Bravo...!
Don't use Pennzoil!!
Axle stands with a jack. I have metal ramps as well you can drive up them. If the ground is not that stable ramps have a better footprint. Being crushed to death and feeling the air leaving leaving your lungs and not being able to breathe in while in pain is not a good way to go. Stop and think, they are cheap enough. Or you could also sit with legs under the car when it falls of the jack it will screw your legs up for life. Think is it safe?
Junky dya guy thank you for such a useful video i like it very much and i am going to do with my bull shit cheavy lumina ls 2006 i hope it will work and p8nging knocking sounds of lifters will disapear.
ali nawaf Ali This won't help with that knocking. If it's your lifters, they might need to be adjusted. There are videos on doing this. If you are moderately capable with cars you should be able to adjust it using a feeler gauge.
I have used Fuel Oil before to clean gunk trapped in the crankcase years ago. It definitely works but can peel away lots in a short time.
I prefer products like Rislone or just use a lighter grade of oil.
Ive used ATF as well.
Almost a cupful a day before changing the oil (5l crankcase)
Low viscosity oil causes engines to fail sooner.
@@florenbaron7111 That's what the owners manual states.
5W30
0W30 etc.
My mechanic says if you put 15W40 in place of 5W30 it can damage cam bushings over time.
Nary a jack stand in sight. He's using safety force fields no doubt.
Great work.....
I can see additive reps on full chat lol
I’ve heard using ATF, diesel and regular engine oil together to flush your engine is much safer than this but I’m really not sure can anyone relate?
Hi! first of all I am happy to find you. I am using a Nissan Pickup truck. it has a 2.4L petrol engine with 4 cylinders. The oil starts to get a black colour just after 1000km of use. the oil I'm using is for 5000km use. if I use it until 5000km it gets really black as a diesel used engine oil. I asked some mechanics they said I should try an engine oil flush. My father told me to remove the used oil and to fill the engine with diesel. I was little scared to follow his advice as he was doing this like 30 years ago on some buses he was driving. I will sure try your method. I am really curious how the flush will work and what results I will get. thanks for the video
Good on you buddy,, like i said, only do it after a good inspection inside the engine as flushing a heavily sludge engine with VVT can cause severe malfunctions if they clogged up inside tiny oil lines/ galleys. but instead of using 50:50 u can up the ratio like 75% oil to 25%diesel if you want.
diesel is like a lubricant and it doesnt evaporate easily like gas does, so its not gonna catch on fire because the engine cannot exceed high temperatures like 900c which is around what heat it takes for fuel, and diesel doesnt evaporate well, so thats the reason why diesel engines last for so long, they give lubrication to cylinders.

Please upload a video when your rubber seals dissolve in diesel and you ruin your engine. Think twice and do more research before you put your trust in a guy who lifts his car and keeps it on the hydraulic jack instead of stand. That alone would steer the smart guy away from this BS. Think man, just think...
mmdirtyworkz I would love to see a modern engine that has any rubber seals in it that diesel would destroy. Modern viton etc. seal materials are not going to be affected in any way. Hell, before the advent of modern biodiesel standard rubber o-rings were commonly used from the factory in diesel fuel systems. This method of engine flushing has been around as long as my dad can remember, and he has been around since 41.
Most often gets rid of lifter tick and cleans gunk. Been there done that.
At the risk of sounding extremely redundant seeing as how nearly every comment is someone telling you to use jack stands, I'm willing to make that sacrifice and I too am going to eco their advice, an engine clean enough to eat dinner from isn't going to profit a dead man, the seals on a jack blow out all the time, people walking by can trip over the jack handle, or children playing nearby can release the jack, my point is this, life has unexpected moments and when your life is solely dependant on everything going according to plan without any fail-safes in place you could easily pay for your oil change with your life be safe when working underneath a vehicle even if you can bench press 500 pounds you're not going to lift that car off of your chest if it falls, always use cinder blocks underneath the tires or buy jack stands find something to create a barrier between you and the car besides the jack just in case the jack fails or the unexpected happens.
I did the same thing using petrol and drove the car for a few days. Drained it and put fresh oil and changed it twice a year forever after. The oil was golden for three months. Sold it after 180,000 additional trouble free miles.
Petrol? Gasoline? Then you are happy that the engine did not explode
Yeah!! ... sure you did 😆
Bad idea, and by the way engine oil is supposed to get dirty, that's one of its main jobs. If you're concerned about how dirty your engine is, change your oil more often and/or buy better filters.
Jon Dison it's not supposed to get dirty at all actually it because roles down and in some cases it can become thick and sludgy and cause damage
Yes, your oil should be black when you change your oil, that is because the cleaning agents in your oil breaking down the sludge!! If your oil comes out of your engine the same color as the day you put it in, you need to change oil brands!! Most modern oils have cleaning agents in them! :) I always use Valvoline cause it has cleaning agents and my engines always stays clean. Changing your oil at the recommend intervals, will make your engine a Happy Engine!!

What about using Penrite Oil are they any good?
Just so you know bro. the round bit on the oil filter cap does come off so you dont make a horrid mess when removing it
yaa i know, but mine was pretty tight and filter housing always come to loose first before the drain bolt.
while it's out you can pop it loose. it makes it so much cleaner. i used to be a toyota lube tech. so had to learn all the tricks quick lol
ha haa glad you here then, will try that next time. thanks buddy
Look at channel project farm, he hears the oil and it gets dark pretty fast...
70/30 is safer in my opinion works just as good but helps with clearances
You could be the next home DIY car maintenance statistic of a failed trolley jack for not using any axle stands. I've seem a guys life less crushed body after he climbed under his pride and joy for just a minute (so, it was assumed, chose not to put up any kind of backup safety supports). His trolley jack was less than a year old from purchase and hadn't been much used. It's possible he hadn't fully closed it when he divided under the vehicle and it suddenly just bled down on it's hydraulics without any warning... Working alone wasn't a good idea either.
I always get somebody to be atleast hearing distance if not in-sight when I work on my car for that exact reason. Anything a guy van do to minimize danger he should, because Murphys law is no joke, don't test it with your life.
Simply changing your oil every 3,000 miles like you should will prevent any sludge build up. If you bought a beater cheap, and it is sludged up, you have very little to lose by trying this, with either diesel or kerosene, since you are looking at the possibility of having to get a rebuilt engine anyway. Don't use Fram filters, and if you have a GM vehicle with Dexkill in it, it's probably already destroyed the engine anyway, making the oil sludge a moot point.
Gerald Scott I bought a high mileage old Subaru that needed the heads machined/head gaskets/water pump/timing set.... the whole nine. It sat for about 6 months until I got it to the shop. I did start it every weekend and let it come up to temp/cycle thermostat a few times. A couple miles before the shop I pumped a quart of diesel into the crankcase, knowing they were about to drain it and replace everything, including main crank seals and cam seals..... So in a situation like that I don't think it's a bad idea as long as you don't run it long that way since it thins the oil out a lot. The oil came out thin and black as coal though.... no damage done.
You risk blocking up the oil pickup.
Please Use axle stand ! Use axle stand! Use axle stand! Dangerous Job.
Can I do this with my Honda 125cc bike?
You can do it on your motorcycle all my motorcycle were flushed by diesel motorcycle mechanic from the philippines
Or Seafoam...
i am now replacing the same engine that you have because the previous owner never changed the oil and i tried to flush it. just like you said.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅
Too much sludge, it blocked the oil pickup.
Oil flushers seldom mention the plugged old oil filter. A new filter will help grab crud without a bypass crud dition. On my very old used cars a flush. Maybe a pan flush and oil sucker screen replacement. Never been bad for me to flush an engine!
I'm I the only one who don't understand what he is saying? Not even the auto subtitles can!...
Yup you are the only dumb ass who dont understand.
Using 100% of any solvent is bad.
Dude.... You are not suppose to use more than a pint of any "flush" There is a reason for this. You still need oil for the bearings or you will ruin them. As for seals, some solvents will react and destroy them. If you are not sure check your solvent compatibility charts.
True, if you try to drive the car for several hundred miles. Unloaded for just a few minutes, you aren't putting enough point load on the bearings to exceed the film strength of the diluted motor oil. I'm more worried about the cam and lifters, if it's a flat tappet valve train. To protect that, keep the REV's up just a bit, with the engine unloaded.
is it safe to flush with diesel ?
It actually is but with 10-20% replacing oil so 4 quarts and 1 quart diesel or 4.5 quarts and .5 diesel. Or 3 to 6 oz of diesel per quart not 50/50 oil/diesel that's really bad and you have to use thicker oil like 5w-30 or diesel engine oil 15w-40 (preferably) since the diesel dilutes the viscosity a lot but doesn't change the lubricity. Using 5w-20/30 with diesel is also really really bad it makes it too thin. Diesel does have some lubricating properties but on heavily sludged engines that still run fine I'd just change the oil every thousand miles and use Pennzoil platinum or gtx ultra clean.
Yes
Every engine eventually gets sluge carbon deposets . very small metal flakes . rubber or seals that over hang in the engine espesely silicone used for gaskets shit happens yet useing deseil or karosein is not good use an aditive that will thin the oil and sludge then change the oil
I wonder if ATF would work as a good substitute for diesel since it has a lot of detergents in it.
That’s a horrible substitute because it costs over $30 a gallon
Diesel is extremely cheap compared to any engine flush, regardless of price per gallon where you live
I also clean my bike engine with diesel..
Work? And how results?
What should be done with the diesel sludge? Is there a proper way to dispose of it?
Can I use it for something nifty at home?
It makes an excellent hair gel for cats.
BIODIESEL WORKS EVEN BETTER----GREAT SOLVENT--
Hello Junky-DIY-guy, great video , and amazing background music, by the way what is music name?
Why didn't you lower the car to sit on its own to get the last little bit out? Like the last sip in a glass
Pour the oil side on (bottle) Less chance of getting less air in the engine.
No jack stands.. Not safety minded, hm?
I think i will do this on my old mercedes. Then filter all the flushed oil/diesel and top up my fuel tank with it😀👍
I didn't even know donald duck could drive.
does it work on other cars? I bought a 98 Mercedes e320 do you think I should do a flush?
its really depending on the condition of the engine. Better to have it checked by a mechanic before you do that.
I use diesel as an engine oil flush agent, but not 100% diesel..
it would be 70% diesel and 30% fresh oil
had a done it on Small Gasoline Engined Water Pumps then Motorcycles then Cars!
It works every time 🤷🏻♂️ never encountered a catastrophic breakdown..
just drain the oil
put the 70-30 mix in
run the engine for about 5-10 minutes (with the engine already warmed up) give it a few revs
for motorcycles it would be great if you would operate the clutch from time to time to also clean the clutch pads
then drain it again for a few hours..
then pour the fresh oil in 🤷🏻♂️
ur engine rattle because you use 20w u need 40w or 35 w
jack stands.
and this has nothing to do with a cold start. cold starts are mostly feul related
IF I MAY ASK WHAT WILL HAPPENED IF I USE ONLY THE DIESEL?
nothing. it is still safe just use only diesel without oil
@@lajkaboy what will happen to engine when engine will be kept started for 20 minutes only with diesel without lubricant?
I use only diesel, but I only run it for ten seconds or so. You won't get all of the oil out of the engine, anyway. I just did this to an Accord that had some of the blackest oil I've ever seen, and it's clean now after flushing and changing the oil.
Not too sure if he said "brain vlog" or "Drain plug". 🤖
I wish I could understand what this guy was saying,,The background noise dident help,,But on a good note diesel added to engine oil is the best form of cleaning out sludge I would add 2 litres of diesel to 4 litres of oil and run it for a whole week on my diesel Chevy Cruze drain the sump add fresh oil and it was clean as.
No jackstands!! 🤨
Great video,
I was thinking in doing by myself because I see engine is dirty inside.
Diesel is a paraffinic compound same as engine oil.
NO problem at all when mixing.
Also I see a LandRover technician doing a expertise diagnostic and he flushed the engine with diesel but only 2 or 3 minutes.
I drain about 3qt of oil out of the motor , then add 3qts of diesel to my crankcase and start it for about 10mins 15, if way past oil change..man you’ll be surprised how much crap comes out!!
doesnt anybody try and keep the oil off off the cement anymore
Remember if you're running a 4X4 you have to get off road diesel!!! Also don't forget to change your blinker and headlight tail light fluid. Depending on the season change the air in your tires from either summer or winter air because you don't want them to overheat or freeze!! Don't forget proper servicing of your vehicle ensures long lasting life!!
You also have to rotate your muffler every 6 months or so to blow out the contaminants that accumulate. Otherwise the EPA will get you will get you on emissions. Just take it off, flip it around and reinstall it. (Note: Some vehicles require a special adapter set to do this, but the adapters typically cost $5 to $10 and you can re-use them over and over.) You need to run the vehicle at highway speeds for at least an hour after rotating your muffler before having an emissions test.
Or you could just buy a new muffler every 6 months, but some of us like to be frugal.
TheBluedragon3310 you totally forgot to get a new set of muffler bearings which should also at the same time totally align the dorkshaft therfore creating a total harmonic balance
What you on about mate :-?
@@xboxice2005they are just being sarcastic.
Diesel can cause lots of wear. Only really useful as a flush for a car you don’t care about. Good chance of just removing kms from the life of the bearings.
My roommate from college was killed when a car dropped on him. Use jack stands.
Puff of smoke when you get on the gas, don't feel like the lubrication in that diesel fuel did your engine just mint, she gonna need a re-bulid
Its no different than kerosene, and mechanics have done that since 1920. You can also subtract 1 qt. Of oil and put chrysler ATF in it for 15 min. then change the oil. Chrysler ATF has the most detergent. LS engines are having problems with the pressure valve in the oil pump sticking due to tolerances being too tight from the factory, so I wouldnt do it on a newer chevy.
