Hi Scott.. what you think about Liqui Molly Cetatec ?
All you gotta do is gun it every chance you get and you won't have to do all the fancy stuff. I've driven a million miles on fifteen cars of different types and mileage and never had any issues.

Scotty Kilmer common sense the most important point.
Every time I watch him it reminds me of the story of the 3 guys captured during the war who knew a national security secret. They were tortured. After 1 hour the Frenchman gave up all he knew, after 2 hours the Swede gave up everything he had. Two days later Scotty still hadn't broken. They asked him why he didn't tell. He said he wanted to tell but they had his hands tied behind his back so he couldn't talk...

absolutely insane how many things i learned from scotty! i never was into cars untill i saw him, for real! Thank you Scotty if you're seeing this :D :) :)
Oh yes, you definitely need to clean up the carbon build up in a “old car.” I cleaned my fuel injectors, and intake manifold on my CRV 2000, and oh man, I wish I had done it earlier. It runs a whole lot better after the cleaning.

Scotty: Yes, it's not a Toyota.

he's not wrong...
Loooooooool
No. It’s not an OLD Toyota.
OMG Toyota is not only good option
Heh. Finally the time has come, for us, to REV UP THE ENGINE!
“REV UP YOUR ENGINE “
about 40 years ago my dads 1974 cadillac had carbon buildup. The mechanic mixed transmission fluid and water in a coffee cup. He slowly poured it into the carburator while the car was running, and it ran great after he was done.
Thanks, I have a 2018 Ford Edge SEL 3.5 V6. Wife works 3rd shift not too far from our house. I'm retired. I take the car out once a week during the day and drive south to the state line doing 70 mph to blow out the carbon. Seems to run better. Mike from Milwaukee. Enjoy your videos.
That’s what we told the county mounties when we were in High School, “we were just burnin’ the carbon out officer.”
HA! I remember that.
I forgot about that. You're right. I remember my old man saying let's take the car out and blow out the carbon.
The coolant sprayed into WW2 engines was a water-methanol mix, and it worked in 3 ways:
1. Cooled intake air, colder air-fuel mixture in the chamber, less knock. Less knock meant you could run more boost for more power.
2. This colder charge, aside from aside from allowing more boost, allowed more dense air within the boost.
3. The methanol within the water acted as an octane booster, and water acted to inhibit combustion to reduce detonation. Thus, more boost. (or worse fuel)
yup
And. The water will steam clean the top end ;)
I use methanol injection in my WRX to keep knock away and pull up the power levels quite considerably.Along with an intercooler sprayer as well to cool the charge air.
Yup, the Rolls in the Mustangs had water injection I was reading for one.
Very interesting...
I've seen some Subarus with 50/50 water methanol mix setups. I personally use straight methanol due to running a JDM engine and living in a high humidity climate
Thanks for the video as always!
1). As someone mentioned, I would send a camera down the intake manifold if you can to see the TOP of the valves...that's where the most carbon build up seems to happen in GDIs (or you'll see more clearly how seriously it is).
2). Question: I've used the CRC GDI intake cleaner but like Scotty, some say chunks could come off, hurt the cylinder, turbo, or CAT. Any opinions or experience?
don’t even drive your car it’ll just wear it over time- scotty kilmer 2019
Don't let your car sit. It's not good for it - Scotty Kilmer 2020.

@@jeffnorbert1871 Haha!! Freaking Cow Fart Cortez, SMH!!
Never fails. Someone finds a way to turn ANYTHING political.
Same issue with GM 5.3 engines. Scotty is an amazing mechanic. I appreciate you.
Cleaning the throttle intake valves on my 02 VW Jetta helped a lot. I had my local shop do the service and they re-home the air intake valve. Before I had what seemed like transmission shifting issues like cold start it would jump into 2nd gear and after long trips it had rough shifting. After the intake valve cleaning this got fixed. The cost is way cheaper than a transmission. This didn't improve the MPG but overall performance improved with normal shifting.
I love you Scotty. Helped me out a lot with these videos over the years. I've saved a lot of money, and had a lot of fun working on my own cars.
Here I go learning about things I didn’t know existed!
Yeah, things like me
Yeah, me too.🙋♂️

Pro tip, don't listen to guy. He often gives advice that is more likely to cause harm than prevent it
Scotty, you are a legend. Lots of love from Turkey.
I brought a 2008 van in 2014..
Drove it round town mostly with a few 20mile trips doing 50-70mph mostly due to speed restrictions..
my friend drove it on a 100mile trip doing mostly 80mph..
when I got back behind the wheel the next day it felt like it had an overhaul..
Was so much more responsive on the throttle so a good run can do wonders for vehicles that has just been driven round town slowly
You mean at high revoluciones per minute...say 4.5rpms to 6rpms🤷♂️

Hey Scotty, if you're reading, make some and send me a free one. K?
Genius idea, I'd buy one!
I love Scotty, he's told that Camry station wagon story more than once on a video

He makes a whole lot more sense if you watch the arm waving.
"screaming"? Lol what a ninny you are😂
Police: why u speed so fast son??
Dude: Scotty killme said carbon needs come out 😁😎
Exactly, bro... Just sent him to Scotty ..he will explain everything to him.... that's why the police cars never needs to be cleaned up , because they speed fast all the time... that's not fair🤔🤔
Steven Andresson yeah it’s true it’s not fair lol cops speed all the time chasing the criminals and the getting rid of all the carbon just send them scotty when you get caught and he will explain everything :D the cops can’t do anything because when they watch Scottie’s videos they will also realise that they need to subscribe to his TH-cam channel :D once they watch a few of his videos they will better understand why criminals speed and it’s not to get away from cops it’s to get rid of the carbon build up in their engine, because there’s no other way to do it but you have to be careful because once the police put the sirens on you will have to escape them :D
@@stevenandresson2368 but you have to realize they need to be places, so technically it is fair

Hey Scotty,
Tremendous knowledge in your videos. I live in Australia and it's been a while since I haven't seen and met my dad for a while. He's overseas and don't think we can meet anytime near. But every time I see your videos, it reminds me of my dad. He worked so hard and has tremendous knowledge of cars. He lived through when the internet was not there so he isn't social media savvy but just a shout out to you for making the videos fun and engaging. My father will always put a smile on his face and do all fixes like it's good food. Keep helping and have fun !!!
yeah, pity he reads it all from a script lol.
Same here. Reminds me of my old man every time. He worked for Honda for 35 years and did nothing but bag Euros as well.. haha
Everybody wishes they had a mechanic like Scotty!!!
I absolutely LOVE the little popup pictures! LMAO!!! Great videos and great editing!
My understanding of the water/methanol injection used in WW2 fighters was that it came from a separate tank and was injected in the intake manifold to cool the intake charge as well as the piston crowns and combustion chambers which prevented detonation when the pilot selected overboost aka war emergency power. It's basically the same system GM used on the 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire turbo.
‘Stupid beauty cover’ 😂😂
Classic scotty
😂🤣I read this comment as he was saying it. 😂🤣
They serve no purpose. Every car I work on I take that junk off and put it in the boot. Nobody has ever complained. Then again, few look under the bonnet anymore. They are too stupid to know what is under the bonnet.
yes, they are for looks,USA

Italian tune-up really helped my F-150. It doesn't get driven very hard. I drove it at 80 miles an hour in second gear for 1 minute. It's now idling smooth as can be. Thanks Scotty. I had tried all sorts of different additives without success.
Great product bg44 k platinum
you must have really burned gas
Like Scotty said, use high quality gas. Specifically, only put "Top Tier" fuel in your car.
South koreans love carbon cleaning. Not because we are stupid but because 80% of the cars on the road is hyundai or kia and almost all of those hyundais and kias have gdi engines.
It is such a common maintenece that carbon cleaning is bulit into the regular maintanence routine of a lot of mechanic shops.
I use CRC GDI IDV Intake valve & turbo cleaner in my 2015 Honda Accord through the brake booster port on the intake manifold. The stuff works great!
I had my dealership clean the valves cleaned with walnut shells. My car is a 2010 VW CC with 103K miles. My car had so much carbon build up it was misfiring and the opening at the intake was closed by about 50%. After it was cleaned and the oil changed. My car is easily getting 11 to12 mpg more than before. It really works.
Hi...I'm interested in this. May I ask how much that cost? Thanks.
@@alexlindsey6446 They charged me $450 bucks....and I swear it was like my car gained 100 HP and gained 20 mpg....It was nuts. Just a massively positive change and worth the money.

😂😂 I don’t usually laugh that much from a comment , but that was good . I could see Scotty saying that about any non Toyota
People make comments about Scotty using his hands to talk-like many good mechanics they're visual learners so as he's talking he's picturing the process. I do it.
Exactly, You absolutely right, I use Shell nitro gas and Castrol Titanium synthetic oil, change myself, and my 2012.mazda6 still running new with 320000km on it 👍😊Factory build new and I try to keep it new!!
I love how scotty is always swinging his arms around
lol we par "carbon tax" in Canada.. If I pay for my carbon, I want to keep it :)
Start by feeding the exhaust pipe back into the passenger cabin.
@Harry Wang That was a very funny🤣👌
I want to save it to make statues for my front yard
Sounds loon-y to me.
So, if you save the carbon and take it to the government, you should be able to get some of your tax money back.
I had an 07 mazdaspeed3 with the 2.3 direct inject turbocharged engine. Around 80k miles I ran seafoam through it. I did it through the vacuum lines and that car ran like a champ.
yeah, some stuff scotty says sounds like all engines are the same, they are not. You do need to carbon clean certain engines.
I remember as a kid,dad and mom blowing out our Oldsmobile 98,after driving all winter,those engines used leaded gasoline,they would carbon up so bad,it was almost unreal Scotty!!.
Dad would wait for a real clear day with no snow on the roads,on the weekend of coarse,and open up the double-pumper 4-bbl.carb.,that car looked like a semi-truck with all the black smoke pouring out of the dual-exhaust system,after about 2-3 miles,the black smoke was completely gone,that V-8 had tons of power and better fuel mileage too.(fuel mileage wasn't an issue in 1955)
Yep, mom would send me out with her car and pray, wind it up in low gear, back it down, repeat until clear exhaust.... my car never had any carbon problem...
Thanks for your information . I was thinking of taking my 2016 Mahindra KUV100 CRDI , Diesel powered car for carbon cleaning . I Drop that plan now !!! But recent days in my country (India) many small mechanics have starting making a business of doing carbon cleaning by promising lot of things. anyways.. u r doing good job for the Global people thru your Videos. kudos.
I did an induction service on my 08 Lexus GS 350 it has 119,000mi it was running just okey and those car are known for carbon deposits/buildup issue , after done the service at a professional mechanic the car drives like a dream 👌
Hey man, i really think your videos are necessary, in my town this machines are new and they are selling exactly like this " the engine runs better, is going to improve performance " and I was thinking maybe I'm going to go, but now that I see your video I was investigating and my car has direct gasoline injectors, and i normally drive at 120km/h - 140Km/h.
I know this video is 4y old now, but thank you a lot man, respect for you I liked your video.
You have one more like
Scotty, my friend is a mechanic. One day we used a BG induction system cleaner on my car.
He hooked up a special sprayer in my intake boot and an air compressor.
I only drive about 2 miles to work and it helped smooth out my idle a lot!

yeah Scotty dead wrong on this video you SHOULD! carbon clean your vehicle especially if its GDI , It makes a huge difference on most cars. I'd do it every 30 k on GDI. Every tune up we do gets one! Customers notice a difference every time we do one. Plus you can't use water on cars with O2 sensors cause it will probably ruin them. The BG line of products and ATS line of products are the two best for sure.
Walnut blasting works just fine and easy to do. Make sure valves are closed and a vaccum running at the same time you are cleaning the valves and it comes out looking new.
Thanks Scott this video was a massive help. I've been worried about carbon on the valves of my 2013 Ford focus st. Not anymore it runs nice and I do change the oil every 4.000 miles and it get a good beating too Scott.
Thanks a million love your channel too take care.

I know I can always stop by to listen to Scotty for some real reasonable advice that'll help save me some money. 😄
Scotty- I have a 1966 304 International Harvester engine with last known odometer reading 186K. The thing ran pretty well prior to me removing the top end as part of a reseal effort (new seals, head gaskets, so on and so forth). Needless to say, there is a lot of carbon inside the engine. Overall (I only have one head off so far.) The combustion chamber, outside of a lot of carbon, looks pretty good. I have ordered a yellow Roloc bristle to clean the carbon. I am loosening the carbon with WD40. Anything else you think I should do? As a side note. Inside the cylinder, I plan to use a hand Scotchbrite - no mechanical. These old International Harvester 304 engines are bulletproof. So far there is no cylinder scoring. My intent is to clean it up, seal it up, and reassemble it. Thoughts?
Very informative! I have a '14 SHO with 130,000 miles and still runs pretty darn good. I will however checkout one of those bore scopes and check inside!
think someone carbon cleaned scotty, he got way more power today! ;-)
@P. Spit Left-handed compliment.
Only for idiots I change oil every 2k with synthetic and use a catch can. But yes it is a racket
@@CodyDoesIt - If you're using fully synthetic and changing your oil every 2k then you're throwing your money away because that oil is still good most likely unless you drive very infrequently and that oil is a year old.
CodyDoesIt I haven't changed my oil in about 80k miles. Car runs fine.
@@duketogo2616 i drive my car hard which breaks the oil down quicker not to mention I work in a shop... its cheap for me
I bought a 1986 Nissan Maxima from a couple so old, they bought their sandals with Jesus. The car coughed like it had asthma when I took it above 65MPH. Got a carbon cleaning and 2 years later, she still purrs like a kitten.
The age of car and previous speed driven made the decision easy. Well done, Scotty.

I'm reving up my carbon and blowing up my engine since I've saw this video , thanks Scotty
I love ending up here after watching tons of happy sea foam customer videos.
I sometimes load up these videos and double tap the screen rapidly about 20-30 times in a row for the 2 second skips. This guy just spewing out the info with his arms waving around is hilarious!

It's true, and yet you can't help listening.

Same.
So in summation: Never carbon clean your car's engine, unless you need to.

This is helpful in case I ever get a piston engine again, but rotary engines are a _whole different beast_ when it comes to carbon buildup; a redline a day keeps the carbon away!
So you're going to sit there, presumably with a straight face, and tell the world you only redline your rotary engine once a day?

Scotty, Do a video showing carbon buildup in a GDI engine and show us the carbon deposits with your borescope. Thanks!
Hanh! Then the Seagull pic! Love it. Good vid
That's exactly how I cleaned my engine. New spark plugs, cables, premium gas, new synthetic oil and filters (gas, oil and air), and a 5.600 km round trip. Did exactly like Scotty described, pushed the engine to the limits on overtakes and such. When safe, pushed the ol' gal 6.500k RPM and 180km/h. Got back home, changed the oil and filters and voilà, she purrs like a kitten now.
You performed the procedure; but, did you actually see the carbon in the engine? There may not have been any change inside the engine. The new spark plugs may have been all the fix. How do you know, one way or the other?
@@artsnow8872 Spark plugs won't make much difference from old to new. If you hear pinging, as he probably did, ...there's carbon ~
@@georgehofgren6123 Actually, he said nothing about the condition of the engine, internally or externally, before his "procedure". The only information is that the engine, "purrs like a kitten, now". There is no information of what carbon buildup, or diminishment, was or is.
Consider, if the procedure worked, how and why did it work? How could the conditions and results be repeated? Who knows?
Damn and here I thought I was the last dude that had to use Walnut shells to try and clean something that way got a lot of respect for you Scotty
To check for carbon buildup on a GDI, you should pull the throttle body and check the intake valves and ports. The heat of combustion will help keep the pistons clean. Due to the airflow through the ports, there will be much more carbon there. I've seen some truly horrendous carbon deposits on valve stems and ports. The plugs and piston crowns looked fine. GDI engines suck, unless you have secondary injectors in the ports. Good for him mentioning that.
I did valve cleaning in my honda accord 2016 in 107k after loosing too much power witch has an GDI system .. removing the head and the valves was like a coal !!
How much to pull the heads and have a mechanic do the cleaning? Thanks Scotty
@@alexbellesia9676 You can do it yourself with Seafoam spray or B-12 chemtool spray. All you have to do is take your intake apart and spray directly into the throttle body while someone revs the engine slightly so it doesn't stall. Do that several times, let it heat soak, then drive the piss out of it on the highway. Your engine will run way better after.
@@joshn938 are you saying this works for direct injection engines like the 4.2 audi v8 ?
@@vicbrown2508 It should as long as you spray well past the maf. I have a 2.4 ecotec i've been doing this for a couple years and the valves are nearly spotless. Do this every other oil change and you'll be golden.
Always nice seeing Scotties Cat making a cameo.
Water injection in high output engine cools the intake charge to prevent engine damage due to detonation.

Yes - Top quality gasoline and top quality oil (the recommended viscosity) can make a huge difference in performance and longevity. I speak from many miles of personal experience.
What is top quality gasoline ?
So recommend based on owners manual?
Scotty Toyota had the same problem with when they first started GDI engine. And the build-up is on the valves not Pistons. You have to pull the intake off to check the valves!!
Thanks for everything Scotty.
I wish you were my neighbor Scotty! You're a treasure of knowledge. I respect you A LOT
thisnametooktolong name somewhere Scotty is wrong. Only channel that knows everything
I just pointed out where Scotty says it is acceptable to carbon clean your car. And in another video, Scotty says he does not advise carbon cleaning your car. So while I respect & like Scotty. Scotty is only human and Scotty goofs up sometimes!
@@thisnametooktolong I remember the video where he was using a timing light to check a cam belt! Hilarious, but completely wrong.
GDI ... introducing diesel engine problems to the gasoline engine. Well done eco-nuts. Well done.
Well done engineers, you improved emissions and power! If you have a GDI VW engine you can solve the carbon problem with 20$ catch can. Newer GDI cars have double the injectors, direct one's and regular ones in intake manifold. So in the end GDI is the way to go
My dad was a GM mechanic from 1948 to 1984, LOL Orwell years. Over half the time he did tuneups. Every time before I went on a trip, he would spray a can of carb cleaner and get the hot kettle out. '68 Camaro 327 4 barrel and '84 Cutlass. I forget which was done first. I just backed away from the cloud of smoke. LOL I don't know if he did it on the job. It was back end RUST that killed all our GM cars.
I sort of helped him rebuild a truck, tractor and car motor.
Another great video!! I always enjoy them and learn something. I have question; With the way the new diesel engines in trucks and heavy duty trucks are made/setup with all the emission stuff on them I've seen that after about 5,000 miles or so they start too loose fuel mileage because the exhaust is ran through the intact before it is finally let out of the vehicle and it causes a lot of carbon build up. Is having the engine cleaned with one of those water carbon cleaning machines a good idea? If not, what do you recommend to maintain fuel mileage?
