BEST way to remove engine sludge (prevent low pressure)

One of the biggest culprits that causes low oil pressure is engine sludge...especially when it builds up on the pick-up tube in the oil pan. You do want to be proactive when it comes to keeping the sludge out of your engine. Changing your oil every 3000 miles is a good start. Even if synthetic oil starts to look dirty it's a good idea to change it. This video shows an effective method on how to get the grit out of your engine. Hope you enjoy the video.

Mechanic here. I can't even begin to list all the things wrong with this. That "grit" is the metal shavings caused by using kerosene.
Pro tip: Change your oil at the proper interval and use a quality filter. You will be fine.

Hitting the key 50 times, now you're going to need a new starter and Battery

I used to be a GM mechanic at a Chevrolet dealership and had a local mailman who owned a 1972 Impala with a 454 in it We did all of his oil changes and he always demanded 6 quarts of oil and 1 quart of ATF. At around 200, 000 miles (with no engine repairs) I changed valve cover gaskets on it and was amazed. The engine was SPOTLESS inside! It looked like a brand new engine! Last I heard was that he got over 400k out of that car with no engine repairs before he sold it and bought a new car.

Turning the engine over for .5 of a second will not cycle kerosene anywhere, and that's a fantastic way to burn out your starter 👍

I love sludge, it keeps the old car from leaking alot of oil.

As a journeyman HD mechanic I'm horrified. If you want to destroy your engine and starter this is the quickest way to do it. There are pickup screens before the oil pump and a filter in the circuit. Rotating your engine with kerosene as a lubricant will destroy your mains and valvetrain. This completely disregards oil wedge theory and points to sludge as the cause of most engine failures, not true. Don't do this, bad idea. Also, engine oil gets dark because it has detergents in it, most large diesels will have jet black oil after 30mins of running. Color of oil is less important than viscosity and acid content(or total base number). The creator of this video is not posting proven maintenance techniques.

I don't know what the negatives will end up being from this, but even really sludgy engines are usually cleaned up by using premium synthetic oil with relevant additive packages. For example, Mobil 1 High Mileage just indicates to do a few shorter.oil change intervals so the oil can slowly and safely dissolve deposits into solution for removal during the drain.

Your fingernail has more "GRIT" in it than the dam engine! 😂🤣😂

I use a quart of Marvel mystery oil a few days before I do my oil change. I never get sludge buildup and it cleans lifters and piston rings quite affectively. I’ve tried this technique for 40 years and as an engine builder

This is a video by Wyle E. Coyote using the Acme method.

The grit you have found is in the pan and does not enter the engine oil galleries. This is the sump reservoir that delivers oil to the filter. The filter prevents this debris from entering the engine. If you feel compelled to flush this debris, then pour the kerosene down the dipstick tube with the drain plug removed and capture the kerosene in a container. This will prevent the kerosene entering the engine, diluting the new engine oil, and causing a dry start after the oil change.

Your ability to not know what you are talking about is impressive. Keep up the not great work.

New drinking game.

Everytime time he says GRIT do a shot of kerosene.

[juice]

Hes gonna start that car and that engine is gonna say, take the BUS.

[toomanytododge]

A very good way to make your engine last half as long

[MattJonesYT]

I'm wondering if the grit is from metal shavings from previous times running the engine with kerosene instead of oil.

[segarza]

Good oil prevents oil sludge buildup. I have 385, 000 miles on my truck, use full synthetic oil, change it at 12, 000 mile intervals, have it analyzed, and I never had a sludge problem. Oil analysis always comes back good with the advice that I could go even longer before replacing the oil.

[letsgethigh]

He claims to change his oil whenever he sees the oil getting dark but his own video shows he waits until its black af lol

[jimmylanders]

he should swap the pistons out every time they get dirty

I’ve been a mechanic for 45 years, and I just want to say, this guy is an idiot! Never do this to your car. Your ex-wife’s car? Sure. But never your own....
