Customer States Jiffy Lube refused to change my Oil - Sludge Factory Kia Forte

Hello YouTube,

Today, a buddy brought over his 2016 Kia Forte to have us take a look at it. Turns out he tried to get his oil changed at Jiffy Lube and they refused to change it. They told him it was a liability concern and they would not be taking on the risk. He claims he changed the oil 6k miles ago but we had our suspicions. Keep in mind the Kia only has 60K miles on it. We decided to help him out and tear off the valve cover to see what kind of mess he created. Follow along the journey as we tear apart the engine and discover the SLUDGE Factory inside.

Products Used:
Liqui Moly - Pro-Line Engine Flush

Cheers!

Just because a dealer or shop says they did an oil change doesn't mean they actually did it. My boss owned a Toyota Avalon that he loved. He was diligent about maintanance and had it dealer serviced for years. He was on vacation in Canada when his engine seized. A Toyota dealer in Canada told him the oil had never been changed. He pulled out all the maintanance invoices from his Toyota dealer which showed otherwise. He had to fight with Toyota before they finally relented and replaced his engine for free. I took this to heart and did my own oil changes from that point on. Trust no one.

I’m proud of Jiffy lube! That was a no win oil change . The new oil will loosen just up more sludge, Spin a bearing and it would be Jiffy Lubes fault of course because it ran fine when he brought it in.

I don’t think they ever changed the oil. That sludge war crazy. Great job fixing it.

[Fredflinstone]

I did my own oil change since i got my own home and place to do all the maintenance.. Its one of the life skill that will save you a ton of headaches

[JackCarregan]

Man, he saved that Kia engine from certain death.

I inherited a Ford from my grandfather, who did not believe in oil changes. Even after the timing chain failed at 60K, he just didn't change the oil. It had a 5.8 with factory towing package and was fully loaded. I took a valve cover off and I couldn't even see the rocker arms! The engine only lasted another 20K miles before it broke a couple of pistons despite my desludging efforts.

Change your oil!

I have been a mechanic since 1987. There are very few people I would trust to work on my vehicles. You would be one of them. Most hacks that do an engine flush do more harm than good. Taking the time to remove the valve cover and oil pan was the right thing to do. A+++. Hopefully for that Kia, you weren't too late

[ShahidVelji-ukbz]

Thank you for actually showing this. It's an eye opener. I always thought that no matter how bad the engine is clogged up, an engine flush would fix it, but this video actually shows importance of maintaining your vehicle. Sometimes people skip out on oil changes and then when they have to pay the big bucks for a new engine then it's every one else's fault but their's.
Once again thank you very

Kia gets a gold star for surviving the mistreatment and run without loss of a rod or bearing.

[englishdata]

This video is so satisfying. Some people really don't deserve cars.

[alleycatjack]

I was surprised you didnt pull the pan the first time around, with that much of a build up in there. I was thinking to myself that the sludge is all going to clog the pickup, and sure enough. Other than that slight oversight, great job!

My father doesn't believe in oil changes. He has had 6 cars in 10 years, with each car only lasting 40, 000-60, 000 after he purchases them before total engine failure. We've attempted to take his car to get his oil changed for him, but he gets very angry and refuses to let us do it because he thinks the oil is just fine and doesnt trust any mechanic at any shop anywhere. We've only succeeded in getting his oil changed one time while he was away from home. Once he came back home and realized we changed his oil he flipped shit and blamed us for when his engine failed 20, 000 miles later, saying "See! That oil change ruined my engine!" He also believes that all cars are "junk" because every car he gets "only lasts 60, 000" miles before the engine grenades itself. He fails and flat out refuses to accept the fact that its because he doesn't do oil changes. He spends around 10, 000 every year or two to replace his car once the engine grenades. Some people really just lack any sort of intelligence.

The oil may have been changed 6k miles before it came to you but clearly it wasn't getting regular changes before that, sort of impressed it survived, l like the pace of your videos, enough detail without showing every nut and bolt every time

[krsa]

This guy seems clean and methodical. I like it!

[Dannysoutherner]

Sharp Jiffy Lube tech for catching that! Good job. I spect that filter saved the motor unless it was gummed enough to bypass. The new oil was so black after 50 miles, just as well to do your other work.

[belahsha]

Parts - $100 labor - $15, 000 :) This was a really cool project thanks for sharing!

[clay]

Glad you had all this on video. If the owner will lie and say he changed that oil every 6000 miles, he will lie in small claims court when he tries to place blame on you when the engine fails.

[agostinodibella]

I was curious to see how the oil pan looked. I am glad you got it off and cleaned inside. Some people don’t, and things get ruined.

[thomascoolidge]

That engine compartment was pristine clean for someone who has waited that long between oil changes..

[supercharged]

If he did have an oil change 6000 miles back, it was very likely the 2nd oil change ever done. You did an excellent job desludging this motor. Had the same problem on a 66 Pontiac Lemans that was worse than this motor. It also clogged the oil screen pickup after a desludge attempt and I had to jack up the motor and put a new oil pump on it.
