I went ahead and ordered a 2 pack based on your other video with the VW with the noisy idle. I have a 2010 Corolla that I figured I would run the engine cleaner through because I was about to change the oil anyway. It definitely found some dirt because the oil was much darker in the drain pan than it was on the dipstick so I would say it does it's job. Bonus is that it actually smells like castille soap and not some nasty chemical haha. My garage actually smells better at the moment because of it oddly enough. I ran the fuel cleaner through my Challenger just for good measure which has really low miles anyway so why not give it some extra TLC. Keep up the good work Scotty, you rock!
@@estar12 I solved the spider problem by cleaning the entire area all around the tank opening, and replacing the old cap with a new OEM gas cap. I also am very careful not to spill gas when I remove the nozzle, wiping up any drops. I keep the inside of the fuel filler door as well as the area surrounding the cap clean... I haven't seen a spider in a few years. Thank God Joro spiders are not attracted to gasoline.
He said there was two things that could cause it to rattle but I didn't hear him mention the other which in my case was the starter going out sounded the same as the VVT
@@idratherbefishing7753 it was rattling after the starter was disengaged and the engine started. Rattling like in the video when the engine is on will never come from the starter. If your starter is rattling it would only rattle while you are cranking the engine.
Hey Scotty! I treated my 2007 Toyota 5.7L V8 with 505CRO oil system cleaner this morning. The oil in the engine had about 1,000 miles on it and looked like Honey before I added the cleaner. The oil coming out was as black as coal when I changed it and the filter 20 minutes later, the engine has 301,000 miles on it and it idles much quieter after the cleaning... my initial impression of this product is highly favorable. Thank you.
Did it sound like a diesel before? Whenever im at drivethru especially I hear diesel like clatter. Also the exhaust smells like burnt oil even if it isn't visible. I think its the piston rings and the vvti chain tensioner being stuck but not sure. Was it same with you?
Scotty: it always rains when you get under a car. Rain: Starts pouring. Scotty: wipes his forehead off and keeps going to get the job done (saving his customer probably $1000s). He is definitely a treasure! We must protect him at any cost!
When I was in high school we'd put Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase to unstick lifters on neglected high-mileage motors. Most of our cars weren't worth fixing, but this did the trick more than once.
Scotty - Definitely need an update on this one! I have an 07 Scion with the oil burning 2AZFE motor. This would be a miracle if it helps in this Camry! Keep up the great work!
That 2az also came from the factory with incorrect (too small/too few) oil return holes in the pistons, which makes the oil rings gum up faster because the oil doesn't evacuate fast enough. My buddy and I pulled the pistons in my wife's RAV4 and milled the holes out to about double the original size, and put new rings on. It went from a qt every 4-500 miles to a qt every 4-5000 miles... It was a ton of work though lol. They had a recall on them good up to 10 years and 150000 miles if it was burning a qt per 1200 miles, but ours wasn't at that time... At 240,000 miles though, it had gotten rediculous
@@hyro431 nice! If I didn't have access to a mill that would have been a great option. It cost me about $100 that was a new head gasket, head bolts, rings and some rtv for the oil pan etc, so that's a pretty great value honestly, assuming you have the ability to tear everything else down; way cheaper than buying a drill press/mill lol. I'm just lucky to have friends with expensive hobbies haha
I have only the training my dad (a weekend mechanic) taught me 40 years ago and changing the timing belt on my wifes V6 Honda Odyssey was not difficult and I did not need special tools. The trick is the tensioner will un-align the cams by 1 tooth so if you start off with the cams off by 1 tooth in the other direction they will be aligned when you apply tension.
It sounds more like the vvti actuator I had a vibe(matrix) with the same cold start rattle. It sounds bad, but if you see the how the locking pin system that makes the noise works...you realize it's not that urgent a problem. It can run with that noise for years with no issues.
Hmmm . My 03 Corolla just started making a rattle when I start it on a cold start , I'm wondering if it's the vvt actuator too or if it's the timing chain tensioner, it rattles for MAYBE 1 second and then gone, but if I turn the key without starting it fully a few times before starting on cold start it won't rattle at all ...
My Corolla 1.8 does that, but it's the starter bendix. If I turn the key for a second before cranking it up it wont make the nasty grinding noise. But if I forget to turn the key for a moment first, it will always make the noise. Honestly tho, turning the key wont affect the vvti phaser noise unless u have a electric oil primer/pump(wich u dont unless u installed it yourself). I used to think turning the key first helped with my vibes vvti rattle sometimes...but that was just my imagination. If it sounds more like a rod knocking for a second, it's the probably the cam phaser. It might sound really bad, but its not a big deal tho it can run that way for a long long time.
My relative left the oil refill cap off, drove an hour to home parked in his driveway. Then the vehicle caught fire in the engine compartment. The fire totaled the vehicle.
I did it once on a friends Subaru Crostrek. Got lucky she she noticed oil on the garage floor. Stick by your normal menthots of checking yourself and double check .
For me it's always windy when I do an oil change so didn't do it yesterday because it was windy. Don't need oil blowing all over the place including on me.
Clean oil is an engine's best friend. Mainly, I think of the dirt in the oil causing excess friction with bearings and cylinder walls, but Scotty raised my awareness about the piston rings and how dirty oil can cause them to stick in the piston grooves, not allowing them to spring outward against the cylinder walls. Personally, I swear by the 3,000 mile oil change -- and always will. A 2003 Corolla with 255,000 miles that burns very little oil between changes and which has a relatively smooth idle, considering its age and mileage, are sufficient proof that frequently changing the oil works. Same story with our 2005 Matrix that has 185,000 miles on it and burns little oil, between changes. too. Both still have plenty of power and zero smoke from the exhaust. Go, Scotty!!!
I buy late 90s Camryz for work cars. I have a 98 now, and a 97 for parts in the garage. I was burning half quart or better per oil change. Switched to Castrol Edge, and I kid you not, my oil has been perfect on the mark since. Think im sticking with this oil for good in my Camry, and may put it in my wife's vehicle next oil change. My truck is a Triton, so I'm sticking with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, due to its flow ability and the poor design of the Triton inner motor and all its tight spaces and small nooks and crannies the oil must reach.
I don’t know why American manufacturers continue to have so many problems. We have an 18 year old 4Runner V8 with 367k miles and the paint is faded but it runs the same as new
Scotty, You have recommended not to swtich from regular oil to synthetic because it may clean out carbon and cause engine to leak. Doe sthe same principle apply for adding the ATS carbon cleaner to the oil. Will it cause leaks if the old carbon was sealing the engine some? Love your work and videos.
I warmed up my Engine then drained it and use 3 1/2 gallons of diesel did not start it and then let it sit for 20 minutes then drained it cleaned it out pretty good now it stops burning oil did it on a Mazda protégé 2000 1.6 L motor
It's been said that this generation Camry (2002-2006) was one of the last great ones before Toyota's quality fell. The redesigned 2007 model had cheap looking plastics on the dash and in 2005 they started having unintended acceleration problems. They switch from mechanical to electronic.
Depends on which engine you bought. The one in the video is the infamous 2AZ-FE . It is known for burning oil as Toyota use less tension on the piston rings to cut down friction, to improve fuel consumption.
I hope you know the unintended acceleration was a floor mat problem, not an actual product issue. The gas pedals hang low and grab the floor mat on a full throttle, educate yourself.
@@scottykilmer I'm no Hater, but I have to ask... Is it pointless to ask questions here? I've asked 3 or more questions in your videos' comments about your thoughts on whether a product you recommended would be good for my car, but you have not replied to any of them. How do people get the questions that you answer in these videos to you? I'd love to have your direct input on these products to my specific car.
I don't know Scotty BUT you are right for modern Toyotas, replace the drain crush gasket every time BUT in the 70`s, remember the 76 Celica GT (what a beauty) and my 84 Toyota truck and even a 73 Ford Courier REALLY a Mitshibushi ALL never required AND I never replaced a drain crush washer AND I am super diligent in my maintenance duties BUT yea just buy a bunch, their cheap and keep ready for the regular oil changes.
Engine flushes are really helpful to prevent all hat issues, many people are scared to use them but if you know what you are doing there is nothing wrong 👌
Scotty, thank you for taking time to show the product because usually you show them fast. You should have told people to make sure gasket on the oil filter didn't get stuck to the engine. Thank you again Scotty.
I have a 2010 Camry that started rattling for the first 3-5 seconds after starting around 80,000 miles. Car now has 250,000 miles and runs like a top with no oil usage. Might try this even though I'm not concerned about it.
I have a 2007 Scion tc. It has the same engine as in the vid. I started having tapping noises on start up. I changed the PCV vavle and the tapplng went away! Don't forget to change this valve. Many people overlook this routine mtce. And change the air filter every 10,000 miles to keep the engine clean , and so the rings and pistons.
i have a 14 and used to rattle like crazy. i changed to synthetic and change oil every 4k miles and it has reduced the noise significantly. But my rattle goes away after it warms up so i know its the chain tensioner.
It always rains when you are under a car! I love it! Lol. I have so many memories of working on my cars and you are right, it always seems to rain once I get about halfway through the job! 😂
Hope it works for you Gonzo, I got rid of my 2003 Camry because it burned too much oil, what a shame- did not know about this, everything I researched at the time said the rings were done.
Keep us posted Scotty! I did this on my dad's '09 Camry (15min @ 2000rpm) and changed the oil/filter after. My dad noticed a huge difference in performance and now like Scotty says we wait and see how it does with fixing leaking piston rings! Cheers! 👍👍
@@soheilzamani17 Will do! My plan was to do this flush twice after 2000 miles, but will monitor the oil consumption! I had the oil level right at the top of the full mark and hopefully after 2000miles, the oil level remains within the low to full marks! 👍
@@pieroluciano3272 I find that when I drive in higher rpms the oil consumption increases pretty drastically. Try to not change your driving habits. Thank you!
Another great video scotty good afternoon, right when I get home from work there is allways a great video of urs ready scooty almost like clock work everyday thank you for all the good knowledge about cars maintenance
I have two 2011 Corollas, and none of them has a gasket at the screw of the oil pan. One was bought new from the dealer. I make the oil change to both.
I've changed the CCT on my Honda CBR like 5 times since 2005, 2 years ago I purchased a Manual CCT, haven't had to touch it since. I have also seen many hydraulic CCT's go bad on many vehicles. Many Race vehicles use a Manual CCT as well they are much more reliable especially at High RPM's. Hydraulic CCT's not working like they should could cause the timing chain to jump a tooth on the sprocket cause catastrophic engine failure at higher RPM
We’re really looking for a follow up for this engine treatment. Do you have one or is it coming soon? How did it work and are you still recommending it? My Scion xB is consuming three or more quarts between oil changes.
Changing the tensioner on that engine sucks. You gotta undo the upper and lower motor mounts, and either jack the engine up slightly, or lower it slightly. You need clearance for the tensioner bolt.
I have an honest question. I remember you making a video talking about why not to use cleaners like that. I have a 2013 VW GTI with 96k miles that will occasionally make that rattle on start up. Should this help? Already had the chain and tensioner checked. VW came out with a updated chain and tensioner after the 2012 model year do to the failures they had with the earlier ones. It makes that rattle once in a while. I change the oil ever 5k miles, use OEM oil filters, ect.
The only time I did that is buying my very first car from a family member, sadly tho it did died on me when water went into the engine but it lasted for 2 years for me.
l added that oil cleaner to my Hyudia Genisis with 85K miles on it and it wasn't running bad but after I added that oil cleaner the car is running quieter and it is running better. I am so glad I added the cleaner.
I've used Seafoam and it always works perfect, pour it in 50 miles before an oil change, drive it gently, don't floor it, and it cleans all the gunk out.
Scotty explains in another video Sea Foam is made for old 2 stroke engines and doesn’t have the chemicals to treat current larger engines. You shouldn’t have gunk if you regularly change your oil. I have an 18 year old Lexus..no gunk.
Scotty - @ 2:02 the engine oil cap was taken off. Was it on when it rained with the hood open? Otherwise you have a good amount of rain water inside the engine!! LOL
Scotty, if this is a 1ZZ FE motor than it could have to do with a service bulletin having to do with a flaw in the design of oil flow through the piston into the oil control ring. My '02 Corolla was one with that issue. Some fix it themselves by taking the Pistons out and drill two more oil holes and filing a larger step on the end of the oil control rings. I just used Mobil 1 Full synthetic High mileage because it was mentioned in Corolla forums to do a good job at removing sludge. I later developed a external leak on my accessory drive side of the motor because how well it cleans the engine. So just be prepared. Especially if you have a high mileage motor like mine. But for a short time it did work and was noticeable that I no longer had to put a Qt of oil in about every 2 fill ups.
My Infiniti G35 does the 2-second rattle when I don't drive it for a few week. Solution is to crank it at least once/week, so the hydraulic chain tensioner doesn't leak down.
When Scotty Kilmer is hawking an engine flush to fix common engine issues, you know that we are living in crazy times. Maybe the end times. Good luck everyone.
There's a similar problem with Accords (2.4 K24Z2 K24Z3 2008-2012), CR-Vs (2.4L L4 DOHC K24Z7 2010-2014) and 2012-15 Crosstours having that same 2.4L DOHC. The VTC actuator clanks but goes away once the engine is warm and the oil pressure increases. Replacing the VTC actuator actually seems not to eliminate the problem over the long term. Obviously this represents a massive share of older cars still on the road that have sterling reputations for high reliability. Numerous customers tried to make claims at dealerships for years and dealers bilked customers for fraudulent repairs that only appeared to the naive customer to address the clanking. Other dealers just sent the customers away without making a claim under the warranty. And yet others had to pay for the repairs which could be upwards of $2200. (In my own case I had a certified CR-V; one dealer said it was nothing but a nuisiance; another dealer tried to sell me a replacement oil pan and something else I can't recall.) Honda took years but finally released a service bulletin about replacing the VTC actuator just long enough after many drivers were out of warranty. Some folks have said to just leave it, that there are plenty of Hondas with these engines still on the road without the repair that have clocked hundreds of thousands of miles. There was a class action lawsuit over the issue that Honda lost. Unfortunately the suit did not cover all the cars manufactured with that part. I'm no longer a CR-V owner but I'm still curious about it.
Been running Amsoil engine cleaner for years, easily get 500K out of my V8;s course, traveling upwards of 90K a year for work tends to do that. Swear by annual flushing. Also, transmission, my last 4L80E was still working fine at 780K. My current 3500 Van has 220K and runs perfect with no oil usage. a Its ALL about maintenance.
I'm confused why he has so many videos stating not to do engine oil flushes and how they break up Gunk and clogs up the fuel injection and other ports, and yet he does not explain it on this video
@@arcatacompany Cant say however, he does make a good point (in general) about the danger of flushing high mileage transmissions. For me I like em clean, period, and so far, have not been burned. No pun intended - LOL
Had same problem with my car, had problem for a while. I had bought a few fram oil filters at a good price. Had one left but decided to buy the Motorcraft filters I usually used and noise went away. I believe valve in Fram filters suck.
Good video Scotty! Scotty what did you put the floor Jack on when you jacked the car up? I would love to see you do a video on the correct/safe jacking points on cars and trucks.
I can see less oil come out , This is the most reason why the engine have a noise or rattling If your Engine oil this is what you see always check your dipstick to make sure the correct level of oil between maximum and minimum and stay safe
so i spent 20 minutes looking for the follow up video ... wondering if the noise when he saw the guy next time did stay away and if the oil consumption was better at all
Hey Scotty! Would you recommend using this on an 02' Toyota Highlander with VVT with 130k and no problems? As preventative maintenance? Timing Belt was done at 90k , it does have some throttle body carbon and IAC Carbon build up I deal with and clean every year or so, thats why when I heard carbon I thought maybe it would be a good preventative item? Thank you for all you do!
2001 lexus thermostat stuck new one now it cause my car to start but what crank. Someone said timing ? Could u help me understand the gage that day did not tesigister for the first time.
QUESTION : I have a 2017 Sonota with well over 100k mi on it ( it used to be a rental ). It is burning about 2qts/wk. I am going to get and use this product. My question is : should I do it twice? Like maybe wait a couple of weeks, or a month, and then do it again???
Hello Scotty, thanks for sharing your knowelge. I'm wondering if this 505 CRO treatment is any different from the engine flush. Is it the same or different?

Mainly, I think of the dirt in the oil causing excess friction with bearings and cylinder walls, but Scotty raised my awareness about the piston rings and how dirty oil can cause them to stick in the piston grooves, not allowing them to spring outward against the cylinder walls.
Personally, I swear by the 3,000 mile oil change -- and always will. A 2003 Corolla with 255,000 miles that burns very little oil between changes and which has a relatively smooth idle, considering its age and mileage, are sufficient proof that frequently changing the oil works. Same story with our 2005 Matrix that has 185,000 miles on it and burns little oil, between changes. too. Both still have plenty of power and zero smoke from the exhaust.
Go, Scotty!!!
Had the same rattling problem on my k24 until I replaced the tensioner
Raining while you work. Reminds me of my 9 years in army field artillery units, on the job rain, shine, hot & cold or worse [I have been in worse].
I buy late 90s Camryz for work cars. I have a 98 now, and a 97 for parts in the garage. I was burning half quart or better per oil change. Switched to Castrol Edge, and I kid you not, my oil has been perfect on the mark since. Think im sticking with this oil for good in my Camry, and may put it in my wife's vehicle next oil change. My truck is a Triton, so I'm sticking with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, due to its flow ability and the poor design of the Triton inner motor and all its tight spaces and small nooks and crannies the oil must reach.
Friend bought a 2022 bronco 1500 miles dropped a valve 😂😂😂
Are you serious? 😳😳😳
I don’t know why American manufacturers continue to have so many problems. We have an 18 year old 4Runner V8 with 367k miles and the paint is faded but it runs the same as new

Scotty still has that smudge on his camera lens. It's been there for a month or so..
I swear it went away for awhile. Noticed it again today!
I don't think he necessarily publishes his videos in chronological order. Sometimes he mixes up the order.

Scotty, You have recommended not to swtich from regular oil to synthetic because it may clean out carbon and cause engine to leak. Doe sthe same principle apply for adding the ATS carbon cleaner to the oil. Will it cause leaks if the old carbon was sealing the engine some? Love your work and videos.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
I warmed up my Engine then drained it and use 3 1/2 gallons of diesel did not start it and then let it sit for 20 minutes then drained it cleaned it out pretty good now it stops burning oil did it on a Mazda protégé 2000 1.6 L motor
It's been said that this generation Camry (2002-2006) was one of the last great ones before Toyota's quality fell. The redesigned 2007 model had cheap looking plastics on the dash and in 2005 they started having unintended acceleration problems. They switch from mechanical to electronic.
Sounds about right
Depends on which engine you bought. The one in the video is the infamous 2AZ-FE . It is known for burning oil as Toyota use less tension on the piston rings to cut down friction, to improve fuel consumption.
I hope you know the unintended acceleration was a floor mat problem, not an actual product issue. The gas pedals hang low and grab the floor mat on a full throttle, educate yourself.
Nah. They're still bulletproof. Whenever a new generation of car things happens, the first year always has bugs
@@fleurdewin7958 well I'm screwed 🤣 I own a 2003 Camry and a 2006 Highlander both with the 2az
Good afternoon Scotty! Keep up the great work.
afternoon!
@@scottykilmer I'm no Hater, but I have to ask... Is it pointless to ask questions here? I've asked 3 or more questions in your videos' comments about your thoughts on whether a product you recommended would be good for my car, but you have not replied to any of them. How do people get the questions that you answer in these videos to you? I'd love to have your direct input on these products to my specific car.

I don't know Scotty BUT you are right for modern Toyotas, replace the drain crush gasket every time BUT in the 70`s, remember the 76 Celica GT (what a beauty) and my 84 Toyota truck and even a 73 Ford Courier REALLY a Mitshibushi ALL never required AND I never replaced a drain crush washer AND I am super diligent in my maintenance duties BUT yea just buy a bunch, their cheap and keep ready for the regular oil changes.

Engine flushes are really helpful to prevent all hat issues, many people are scared to use them but if you know what you are doing there is nothing wrong 👌
Scotty, thank you for taking time to show the product because usually you show them fast. You should have told people to make sure gasket on the oil filter didn't get stuck to the engine. Thank you again Scotty.

I have a 2010 Camry that started rattling for the first 3-5 seconds after starting around 80,000 miles. Car now has 250,000 miles and runs like a top with no oil usage. Might try this even though I'm not concerned about it.
I have a 2007 Scion tc. It has the same engine as in the vid. I started having tapping noises on start up. I changed the PCV vavle and the tapplng went away! Don't forget to change this valve. Many people overlook this routine mtce. And change the air filter every 10,000 miles to keep the engine clean , and so the rings and pistons.
My 12 Camry does this same thing rattle at startup, drives me crazy! Thank you for addressing this!
i have a 14 and used to rattle like crazy. i changed to synthetic and change oil every 4k miles and it has reduced the noise significantly. But my rattle goes away after it warms up so i know its the chain tensioner.
It always rains when you are under a car! I love it! Lol. I have so many memories of working on my cars and you are right, it always seems to rain once I get about halfway through the job! 😂
Oil treatment first, then fuel treatment?
Or visa-versa?
I have the same problem on my 2003 Camry. I will try this product and update you guys if it worked in my case.
Hope it works for you Gonzo, I got rid of my 2003 Camry because it burned too much oil, what a shame- did not know about this, everything I researched at the time said the rings were done.
Did it work?
Very enlightening video! Thank you very much for your advice! It is greatly
appreciated! Sincere regards!
Keep us posted Scotty! I did this on my dad's '09 Camry (15min @ 2000rpm) and changed the oil/filter after. My dad noticed a huge difference in performance and now like Scotty says we wait and see how it does with fixing leaking piston rings! Cheers! 👍👍
I have the 2AZ engine in my Scion tC also. Please report back with whether it had any effect on the oil burning.
@@soheilzamani17 Will do! My plan was to do this flush twice after 2000 miles, but will monitor the oil consumption! I had the oil level right at the top of the full mark and hopefully after 2000miles, the oil level remains within the low to full marks! 👍
@@pieroluciano3272 I find that when I drive in higher rpms the oil consumption increases pretty drastically. Try to not change your driving habits. Thank you!

Another great video scotty good afternoon, right when I get home from work there is allways a great video of urs ready scooty almost like clock work everyday thank you for all the good knowledge about cars maintenance
I have two 2011 Corollas, and none of them has a gasket at the screw of the oil pan. One was bought new from the dealer.
I make the oil change to both.
I've changed the CCT on my Honda CBR like 5 times since 2005, 2 years ago I purchased a Manual CCT, haven't had to touch it since. I have also seen many hydraulic CCT's go bad on many vehicles. Many Race vehicles use a Manual CCT as well they are much more reliable especially at High RPM's. Hydraulic CCT's not working like they should could cause the timing chain to jump a tooth on the sprocket cause catastrophic engine failure at higher RPM
We’re really looking for a follow up for this engine treatment. Do you have one or is it coming soon? How did it work and are you still recommending it?
My Scion xB is consuming three or more quarts between oil changes.
Changing the tensioner on that engine sucks. You gotta undo the upper and lower motor mounts, and either jack the engine up slightly, or lower it slightly. You need clearance for the tensioner bolt.
" you don't wanna spend all day pullin' and not get it off"....... That's what she said Scotty, that's what she said
As a follow up, did it stop or slow the oil usage ???
I have an honest question. I remember you making a video talking about why not to use cleaners like that. I have a 2013 VW GTI with 96k miles that will occasionally make that rattle on start up. Should this help? Already had the chain and tensioner checked. VW came out with a updated chain and tensioner after the 2012 model year do to the failures they had with the earlier ones. It makes that rattle once in a while. I change the oil ever 5k miles, use OEM oil filters, ect.
I would never buy a used car nowadays for just $1500 - for that price you’re almost guaranteed that you’re buying junk.
The only time I did that is buying my very first car from a family member, sadly tho it did died on me when water went into the engine but it lasted for 2 years for me.
l added that oil cleaner to my Hyudia Genisis with 85K miles on it and it wasn't running bad but after I added that oil cleaner the car is running quieter and it is running better. I am so glad I added the cleaner.
Atf dexIII does the same thing. And the tensioners for that engine are super easy to replace.
Scotty, would it be OK to use the oil treatment as a maintenance tool at 75k intervals?
I've used Seafoam and it always works perfect, pour it in 50 miles before an oil change, drive it gently, don't floor it, and it cleans all the gunk out.
Scotty explains in another video Sea Foam is made for old 2 stroke engines and doesn’t have the chemicals to treat current larger engines. You shouldn’t have gunk if you regularly change your oil. I have an 18 year old Lexus..no gunk.
Will this wreck piston values?
Scotty - @ 2:02 the engine oil cap was taken off. Was it on when it rained with the hood open? Otherwise you have a good amount of rain water inside the engine!! LOL
Scotty is the mechanic that makes the impossible possible.
Miss these videos when I have to work. 😭
i had this issue with is250. luckily extended warranty from dealership covered the repair
4:03 You forgot to make sure the old oil filter seal was off after you lubed the new oil filter seal.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all,from,Auckland,New Zealand.👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤
Scotty, if this is a 1ZZ FE motor than it could have to do with a service bulletin having to do with a flaw in the design of oil flow through the piston into the oil control ring. My '02 Corolla was one with that issue. Some fix it themselves by taking the Pistons out and drill two more oil holes and filing a larger step on the end of the oil control rings. I just used Mobil 1 Full synthetic High mileage because it was mentioned in Corolla forums to do a good job at removing sludge. I later developed a external leak on my accessory drive side of the motor because how well it cleans the engine. So just be prepared. Especially if you have a high mileage motor like mine. But for a short time it did work and was noticeable that I no longer had to put a Qt of oil in about every 2 fill ups.
My enclave rattles for maybe a second, maybe a touch less or more, but only upon start up….. could this be a similar issue?
My Infiniti G35 does the 2-second rattle when I don't drive it for a few week. Solution is to crank it at least once/week, so the hydraulic chain tensioner doesn't leak down.
When Scotty Kilmer is hawking an engine flush to fix common engine issues, you know that we are living in crazy times. Maybe the end times. Good luck everyone.
We’re living in product placement times, I reckon
It’s not the end times yet
There's a similar problem with Accords (2.4 K24Z2 K24Z3 2008-2012), CR-Vs (2.4L L4 DOHC K24Z7 2010-2014) and 2012-15 Crosstours having that same 2.4L DOHC. The VTC actuator clanks but goes away once the engine is warm and the oil pressure increases. Replacing the VTC actuator actually seems not to eliminate the problem over the long term. Obviously this represents a massive share of older cars still on the road that have sterling reputations for high reliability. Numerous customers tried to make claims at dealerships for years and dealers bilked customers for fraudulent repairs that only appeared to the naive customer to address the clanking. Other dealers just sent the customers away without making a claim under the warranty. And yet others had to pay for the repairs which could be upwards of $2200. (In my own case I had a certified CR-V; one dealer said it was nothing but a nuisiance; another dealer tried to sell me a replacement oil pan and something else I can't recall.) Honda took years but finally released a service bulletin about replacing the VTC actuator just long enough after many drivers were out of warranty. Some folks have said to just leave it, that there are plenty of Hondas with these engines still on the road without the repair that have clocked hundreds of thousands of miles. There was a class action lawsuit over the issue that Honda lost. Unfortunately the suit did not cover all the cars manufactured with that part. I'm no longer a CR-V owner but I'm still curious about it.
Thank you for this video... I'm going to try this engine oil cleaning system in my Toyota.
Been running Amsoil engine cleaner for years, easily get 500K out of my V8;s course, traveling upwards of 90K a year for work tends to do that. Swear by annual flushing. Also, transmission, my last 4L80E was still working fine at 780K. My current 3500 Van has 220K and runs perfect with no oil usage. a Its ALL about maintenance.
I'm confused why he has so many videos stating not to do engine oil flushes and how they break up Gunk and clogs up the fuel injection and other ports, and yet he does not explain it on this video
@@arcatacompany Cant say however, he does make a good point (in general) about the danger of flushing high mileage transmissions. For me I like em clean, period, and so far, have not been burned. No pun intended - LOL
@@davebarron5939 I have a Dodge ram 1500 2000 and the couple shops I asked won't touch the transmission flush

Had same problem with my car, had problem for a while. I had bought a few fram oil filters at a good price. Had one left but decided to buy the Motorcraft filters I usually used and noise went away. I believe valve in Fram filters suck.
What valve? Aren't these filters full flow?
@@xzox No , look at a diagram of a filter. There's check valves in them so they don't empty when engines off. Anti drain and bypass.
Good video Scotty!
Scotty what did you put the floor Jack on when you jacked the car up? I would love to see you do a video on the correct/safe jacking points on cars and trucks.
Have seen you with that STP oil in another video. Can't find any locally...
I can see less oil come out , This is the most reason why the engine have a noise or rattling If your Engine oil this is what you see always check your dipstick to make sure the correct level of oil between maximum and minimum and stay safe

I have a 1974 Chevy vega original 2.5 L engine. Would this quite the engine and lifters ticking?
since im lazy can i put it in and drive 15 minutes to the machanic to get an oil change?
UPDATE??????
Could it be just the fresh oil stop the noise. I would wait and see if it stays fix.
3:48, looks like tire is calling for an alignment too.
so i spent 20 minutes looking for the follow up video ... wondering if the noise when he saw the guy next time did stay away and if the oil consumption was better at all
Hey Scotty! Would you recommend using this on an 02' Toyota Highlander with VVT with 130k and no problems? As preventative maintenance? Timing Belt was done at 90k , it does have some throttle body carbon and IAC Carbon build up I deal with and clean every year or so, thats why when I heard carbon I thought maybe it would be a good preventative item? Thank you for all you do!
Here in the UK I had a mx-5 that rattled on cold start, sold it just in case it was the vvti. It started doing it after an oil change. 🤔
