Get yourself some amazon basics oil or if your near a walmart supertech oil full synthetic and an oil filter and do it yourself.

Really, really bad oil situation but - I'm seriously impressed with the condition of the underside of that car. Must be the Aussie climate - would never have looked like that after 170000km in the UK.
I once met a man who said he never opened the bonnet of his car in 3 years since the day he bought it, never had a service or anything, until one morning it just died due to cambelt failure. The car was Ford focus 1.6 petrol engine.
I once took in a Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5TD that the owner said had become difficult to start. He had bought it just as a farm vehicle but it was quite nice. Ralliart spec with Bilstein suspension, Nardi steering wheel, alloy 3 piece wheels etc. Hadn't got it that long but asked me to give it a good service and check electrics etc. Couldn't understand why the oil wouldn't come out with a vacuum pump so unscrewed the sump bung... bear in mind the oil was warmed up and it barely started to come out of the sump bung it was so thick. Ended up removing the sump and then proceeding to flush the engine several times. Hell of a job but it solved the hard starting! Turns out it had NEVER had an oil change, but it ran well after the service
Imagine holding in your poop in for a month and refusing to use the toilet. That’s how the car must have felt if it could talk. 😂. The relief must have been epic!!!!👀
@@MrRohanThomas I don't know if my mom changes the oil or not but she never changes anything else like transmission fluid or water/coolant and thinks cars are toast at 100k miles. I remember her driving me and my brother as tweens/teens in this ford aerostar that had maybe 130k in it and she said "it's old so it pings (detonation) going up hill " and had to put higher grade gas in it. She also had a ford explorer that cracked the head twice.
OMG that sounded like a sewing machine when you fired it up! True story. Back in the day my brother bought a beater cheap to drive to and from work. The oil was not as bad as this, but close. We put a quart of 50 weight oil in it and 4 quarts of kerosene and let it idle for 30 minutes, drained it and filled back up with good oil. He drove that car for another 6 years before getting rid of it. It would use a quart of oil between oil changes at every 2000 miles. I was simply amazed!
@@ziggassedup i couldn't think of a worse engine to abuse like this. These alloytecs are the downfall of Holden. My uncle used to do this with valiants but they run forever. He didnt oil change his 245 hemi for 8 years once. He used to work in the meat works and drive around Australia. Poor old valiant never let him down until it got stolen and the engine mounts broke and busted the radiator. He wanted me to fix it, said buy another one tightass . He bought a nice Cl wagon and did exactly the same abuse. They were cheap back then so who cared .
@@petergoodwin2465 Most engines have a weak link somewhere...The trusty old red would break cam gears and the trusty old Holden V8 would eat up cams like no tomorrow...I recon the Alloytec is built from all of those weak links and some others...Disposable engines.
@@ziggassedup But at least the old holden v8 really hammers along. Even the red motors go well, the alloytec is a slug . Its a terrible thing, not bad on fuel but its so gutless i had the foot flat to the floor all the time so it used more fuel than my mild 318. Id much rather change the cam in a 308 than do the timing chains on an alloytec. Very unreliable thing to, every week something happened. Ive done a million ks in the old cl regal se and never had trouble with it exept reco transmission and just minor things. Rebuilt the holley a few times over the years but just maintenance and me abusing it. The alloytec is crap for towing to, has no tourqe. Mate said its not a holden engine but some European crap made for front wheel drives. This car was the reason I bought the old valiant wagon im rebuilding, needed something with balls and reliability. The alloytec didnt last long enough for me to finish it so i got a vy ss ute. That vz has caused huge dramas for me . Holden always built decent cars until this thing. What a nightmare, i feel for the mechanics that work on this crap.
@Anonymous Yes, if you could find the older high detergent dextron atf. Then use marvel mystery oil. But still getting the gallies and passages on the newer engines open. Maybe. Give to your 16 year old. Cast iron block vs alum.
We would be impressed by how many cars are treated like this. Even in my family, if it wasn't for me to check their oil level regularly, some of the engines would have broken down already. My bro was missing 2 liters of oil in his engine...
Asked a buddy one time before we went on a 5hour car ride if he'd done his quick walk around to make sure everything was good, he told me yeah then when I checked for fun there was maybe 1 drop of oil on his dipstick and 10psi in his back tire. Blows my mind that people don't care
Got in a Ford van with a complaint that the oil light came on going around a curve. No problem going straight. Oil was so low it would go to one side of the oil pan and the oil pump would suck air.
yeah, my family went on a 6-hour drive with check engine light on and nobody thought to check anything till car stopped running drain plug was stripped and it had fallen out.
This makes me glad I change my oil every 3000 miles (5000 kilometers). I had my valve cover off to upgrade the turbocharger, and the engine with 110,000 km on it was shiny, no discoloration at all. It looked brand new.
I drove it first and it went fine...The check light only came on after I drained the sludge..I should have checked the oil pressure...That would have been interesting.

Supposedly, if you add oil and a quart of automatic transmission fluid, the detergents in ATF cleaned out the sludge.. done a couple times most of the sludge gets loosened and drained with the oil..
The customer may not have had money for a repair, but surely they could have at least saved $50 to $70 for an oil change over 4 years of owning the vehicle. Unless there's something we're missing here.
@@addictedtragedyx I just did mine on saturday was very easy never done it before, got the oil on a black friday deal for £23, think it was around 50 total with an air and oil filter and little ratchet wrench kit, my car has okay ground clearance so I didn't even need to lift it
I was taught back in the old days (1970) after the oil change, to disconnect the distributor wire to prevent the engine from starting, then turn the ignition key and let the engine turn over until you got oil pressure on the gauge. Of course, we no longer have distributors or oil pressure gauges.
Thats the biggest bullshit thing as a man imo. Once you start dating a girl, you are now in charge of taking care of her car. Cleaning out the 10 tons of clothes and bullshit, oil changes, tires.
You aren't married to her. You could be dating for a couple months, but you know if she breaks down somewhere, she's gonna call you looking for a solution, and that's just super inconvenient. So you start taking care of her car, like you adopted it. Your stepcar.
Knew someone who's friend did change out oil every 1000 miles, car ended up running 1,000,000 MILLION MILES. Not sure how old the car was, but this guy wouldn't lie. He said the odometer rolled over to start at 0 after that.
@@Runner8617 changing at 1k is a waste of money and considering many shops don't properly dispose of used oil generally speaking going to be bad for the environment. Modern Oil can last much longer than 1k miles and you don't have to be anal about it to make your car last. At 1k the oil is basically coming out like new as it went in. You just need to follow the recommended intervals that's it. If his car really lasted a million miles it was a lot more than frequent oil changes that made it possible.
That model Commodore is still sought after by the younger guys in Australia. At least with the old rear wheel drive cars you can change individual components to help keep the cost of repairs down to a minimum.
A few years ago, a friend bought an old Chevy Cavalier. he drove it for 3+ yrs without changing oil. I noticed the filter was rusty and asked how long it had been. he said "I don't know". 2 weeks later the timing chain snapped and the pistons hit the valves and cracked the head in 2 places.
I change my oil when I start to see my oil level dip stick lines are being covered with dark oil. 2500-3000 miles. Best oil is clean oil. Oil and filters are cheap. Engines are very very expensive
Mine would TRUTHFULLY read, oil changed every 3000 miles. I've been driving 45 years, put as much as 350.000 miles on several cars. Never an engine issue or failure. I only buy brand new, and this is just one of the reasons!! Lol.
@@1212holden Huge impact. Do the math on changing the oil every 3,000 miles and putting 350,000 miles on a car. That's 116 oil changes! Look how many hours and time wasted during all that time. Take the same vehicle, do it with Amsoil and change it every 15,000. That drops it down to 23 oil changes. And don't forget to factory in an extra 1 or 2 MPG during that time. When you do the math, the Amsoil comes out almost free due to the savings of fuel. They did every time I put it in my own cars. And when you put nearly 900,000 miles and open up the engine and see that everything inside is within 1% of factory spec, that is the solid proof that Amsoil blows everyone away. I am absolutely amazed that I don't have hundreds of people asking me how to get this stuff. I should be flooded with messages asking me what oil and filters are compatible with their vehicle by now and how to order it. If the tables were turned and somebody told me about this information, I wouldn't be able to reach out to them fast enough to inquire on this oil.
@@thebestmotoroil101 i honestly dont blame you for not wanting to buy used. The car i currently own was bought from a family and whos teenage daughter had used it. Yea, never again.
He got seriously lucky! He should've also try playing the lotto. I'm sure he would've hit the jackpot. Some purple in that engine and it will run like new. No biggie!
I am not a qualified mechanic, But more of a hobby (basics only) and been doing it for about 20 years. But trying to get some people to understand that you need to keep up with the services is like preaching to a brick wall.
I ran into that issue before, I drained it all out then I ran it on 5 quarts on transmission fluid & it cleaned the inside of the engine....till this day it’s still running perfectly it’s been 5 years
I had a car like this once. The oil still drained fine but, thick. The filter looked just like that though. If memory serves me right it had been a little over 50k miles.
What determines how often the oil should be changed on a vehicle? Depending on vehicle age, type of oil and driving conditions, oil change intervals will vary. It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
With the Australian Jackmaster I will be changing the Jackmaster every 6 thousand miles and adding a quart of new Walmart synthetic oil. I am in the Dallas Texas area and drive mostly highway. I dont drain oil. When I was selling depth bypsss filters I sent filters to Norway and northern Canada. Im sure they didnt go 6000 miles in the winter. These people knew what the filters were. In the 60s we normally changed the filter and added a quart of new oil about every 2 000 miles in California. Oils werent as good and engines were nasty.
They tell you 8k so you'll need a new vehicle after the warranty expires. For the love of God, do it every 3k if you ACTUALLY want peace of mind, and want it to be dependable for 200k, 300k, 400k, 500k miles.
@@Mandolindo 3k is just wasteful. Unless you have a really old vehicle, use non synthetic, and cheap filters. Oil analysis on good 10k oil has shown it to be totally fine still. I've done 10k on my 4runner for years with good synthetic oil and a good filter and I'm at almost 300k miles with a smooth engine, no compression loss, and my oil looks fine coming out.
That's how my trucks oil looked when i first got it, definitely went a few years without an oil change. To add insult to injury it sat for 7 years before i rescued it. After a flush and valve cleaning it runs fine. Good ol' toyota
I know this may sound crazy, but when the oil is THAD BAD and the guy is broke... I would take some used synthetic oil from someone that maintains their car well and flush it with that. I mean it sounds crazy using used motor oil... but like me personally i run Mobil 1 extended for 5,000 miles. Its rated for at least double that, and in this mans case my used motor oil would be life sustaining for that mans car engine compared to what's in there. One mans trash will be this mans treasure simply because its SO MUCH better than the pure trash he has in there.
I've never ever seen anything like this, not even in the case of barn find cars. It's a miracle if that engine was still more or less in fine condition. When looking at the grease coming out it would be interesting to open up the engine and take a look inside.
STREWTH ,we had a fella from the subcontinent come into our workshop to book hes SV21 Camry in for a minor service , which to the customer meant FULL SERVICE but for $99 hes coppin a oil filter and 5 litres of the cheap stuff ,Stiffie got the job and put it on the 2 post and drained the oil and it was similar to this ,we showed the customer and he asked us to remove the number plates and organise for it to be taken away to be scrapped ,NOW you wont believe this but my boss drained the barnacles and refilled the block with 2 litres off Dex3 and 2.5 litres off diesel ,started it and let it idle for i sh%t you not 15 minutes ,we drained it and screwed on a new filter and flushed it twice more with cheap as oil ,he roadied it and slammed on 3 months rego and copped $1500 for it and every 10K that ol Camry still comes in for a service ,if i hadnt off seen it i wouldnt believe it
I don't know a whole lot about cars, but I know how to do basic maintenance. Oil changes, checking the oil, maintaining and replacing fluids, changing a tire, replacing a battery. These are things that all car owners should know. How could someone not change their oil for so long lol?
Nice ! Not really but I've seen this firsthand. Once upon a time.... When I was a young mechanic the girl across the street complained her 1975 Chevy Luv Truck (a rebadged Isuzu) wasn't running well. I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick - showed nothing but a black smear like tar on it. I said: how often do you change your oil ? She said: "Never - I didn't know I was supposed to !" Then I opened oil fill cap - there was a black plug instead of a hole. It was hard, enough that my finger couldn't push through. I pulled the Valve cover and what emerged looked like a Black sponge cake, with the cover being a 'bundt cake pan' - even the letters ISUZU were visible in the encrusted 'CAKE' of hardened oil residue. NASTY is all I can say.... I cleaned the crust away with a soft plastic chisel and we proeceeded to do rapid oil changed to clean things out. I recall saying: Sorry but your engine MAY NOT recover from the 7 years (this was 1982) of NO OIL CHANGES ! The wonder was that this little truck still ran, albeit not very well ! It's worth mentioning that in that era, late 70's - Synthetic Oils were VERY rare (Amsoil was just started) and so she just had paraffin laden 'Dino Oil' to work with. With that, adhering to 3,000 mile oil changes was a MUST. Today we take 6,000 - 10,000 mile intervals using Synthetic Oil for granted ! In her defense, her father had died suddenly a few years earlier and she had no man in the house to make sure she knew the basics of auto maintenance. All my 4 daughers know the basics of how to check their oil and antifreeze. Curious to know how this car (IF ?) recovered from this serious neglect.
I started in the trade in '75...I remember pulling the valve cover of an old Ford 250 I6 and it looked like someone had filled it with expansion foam...I also remember pulling the deain plug on a Jag and it appeared there was straight STP in there.!!...Did this one recover.?...I don't know...He hasn't returned...Cheers.

Haha are those the flool plumps? Someone said it had a bad flool plump 😂
Meme Man nah I wasn’t lol
I had a range of emotions with this video...from horror to confusion to sadness. Thank you for documenting this nightmare.
i just think the customer is dum
I once took in a Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5TD that the owner said had become difficult to start. He had bought it just as a farm vehicle but it was quite nice. Ralliart spec with Bilstein suspension, Nardi steering wheel, alloy 3 piece wheels etc. Hadn't got it that long but asked me to give it a good service and check electrics etc. Couldn't understand why the oil wouldn't come out with a vacuum pump so unscrewed the sump bung... bear in mind the oil was warmed up and it barely started to come out of the sump bung it was so thick. Ended up removing the sump and then proceeding to flush the engine several times. Hell of a job but it solved the hard starting! Turns out it had NEVER had an oil change, but it ran well after the service
Everytime I feel too lazy to change my oil mid service. I watch this video and feel motivated.
The oil has grown sentient, and this is the origin story of a super villain - the blob
Imagine holding in your poop in for a month and refusing to use the toilet. That’s how the car must have felt if it could talk. 😂. The relief must have been epic!!!!👀
That was funny 😄 😆 🤣 😂
"Dont try to rip me off mate i know everything is fine with my car"
Annoying part is eventually when the cars engine gets blown, the owner will then go on a rant online or to other people how bad the car is
@@MrRohanThomas oe the mechanik
@@MrRohanThomas I don't know if my mom changes the oil or not but she never changes anything else like transmission fluid or water/coolant and thinks cars are toast at 100k miles. I remember her driving me and my brother as tweens/teens in this ford aerostar that had maybe 130k in it and she said "it's old so it pings (detonation) going up hill " and had to put higher grade gas in it.
She also had a ford explorer that cracked the head twice.
Some mechanics do try to rip you off though
This mechanic was very good though
OMG that sounded like a sewing machine when you fired it up!
True story. Back in the day my brother bought a beater cheap to drive to and from work. The oil was not as bad as this, but close. We put a quart of 50 weight oil in it and 4 quarts of kerosene and let it idle for 30 minutes, drained it and filled back up with good oil. He drove that car for another 6 years before getting rid of it. It would use a quart of oil between oil changes at every 2000 miles. I was simply amazed!
I changed the oil in my alloytec every 5,000 and it still fell apart. This guys lucky it still runs at all. Thanks for showing us this abuse mate .
Cheers Peter.
@@ziggassedup i couldn't think of a worse engine to abuse like this. These alloytecs are the downfall of Holden. My uncle used to do this with valiants but they run forever. He didnt oil change his 245 hemi for 8 years once. He used to work in the meat works and drive around Australia. Poor old valiant never let him down until it got stolen and the engine mounts broke and busted the radiator. He wanted me to fix it, said buy another one tightass . He bought a nice Cl wagon and did exactly the same abuse. They were cheap back then so who cared .
@@petergoodwin2465 Most engines have a weak link somewhere...The trusty old red would break cam gears and the trusty old Holden V8 would eat up cams like no tomorrow...I recon the Alloytec is built from all of those weak links and some others...Disposable engines.
@@ziggassedup But at least the old holden v8 really hammers along. Even the red motors go well, the alloytec is a slug . Its a terrible thing, not bad on fuel but its so gutless i had the foot flat to the floor all the time so it used more fuel than my mild 318. Id much rather change the cam in a 308 than do the timing chains on an alloytec. Very unreliable thing to, every week something happened. Ive done a million ks in the old cl regal se and never had trouble with it exept reco transmission and just minor things. Rebuilt the holley a few times over the years but just maintenance and me abusing it. The alloytec is crap for towing to, has no tourqe. Mate said its not a holden engine but some European crap made for front wheel drives. This car was the reason I bought the old valiant wagon im rebuilding, needed something with balls and reliability. The alloytec didnt last long enough for me to finish it so i got a vy ss ute. That vz has caused huge dramas for me . Holden always built decent cars until this thing. What a nightmare, i feel for the mechanics that work on this crap.
@@petergoodwin2465 Alloytec is an Aussie designed engine for GM to go into SAABs...Shame they didn't keep it that way.
This engine is ruined. Imagine what the oil galleys and passages look like. You have an expensive boat anchor now
Absolute mess.
yeaaaaaappppppp
@Anonymous Yes, if you could find the older high detergent dextron atf. Then use marvel mystery oil. But still getting the gallies and passages on the newer engines open. Maybe. Give to your 16 year old. Cast iron block vs alum.
@Anonymous the cheapest maintainence one can do and too lazy to do. We have made alot of money over the years on lazyness alone
@Anonymous a 6 qt system is full w/ 5 quarts now. So much sludge in the bottom
We would be impressed by how many cars are treated like this. Even in my family, if it wasn't for me to check their oil level regularly, some of the engines would have broken down already. My bro was missing 2 liters of oil in his engine...
Asked a buddy one time before we went on a 5hour car ride if he'd done his quick walk around to make sure everything was good, he told me yeah then when I checked for fun there was maybe 1 drop of oil on his dipstick and 10psi in his back tire. Blows my mind that people don't care
Got in a Ford van with a complaint that the oil light came on going around a curve. No problem going straight. Oil was so low it would go to one side of the oil pan and the oil pump would suck air.
yeah, my family went on a 6-hour drive with check engine light on and nobody thought to check anything till car stopped running drain plug was stripped and it had fallen out.
Owner watching this be like:
“Would that stuff come out quicker if I blew on the exhaust pipe?”
lol.
Roflmfao. That one caught me off guard.
Blowing on the exhaust pipe doesn’t fix everything sweetheart
😂😂
The rings are probably so shot it would

This makes me glad I change my oil every 3000 miles (5000 kilometers). I had my valve cover off to upgrade the turbocharger, and the engine with 110,000 km on it was shiny, no discoloration at all. It looked brand new.
Right on!
5000 km oil change is really unnecesarry
@@nikolazagar4276oil is cheap. Engines are expensive.
I'm still shaking my head can I stop now?
Oh...Yes Tim...Please do.
No never stop this is a disgusting mess what a mechanical disaster what a dumbass the owner must be
Man he saved money not doing oil changes! That is one of the nastiest oils I have ever seen. I am surprised that engine still even ran!
I drove it first and it went fine...The check light only came on after I drained the sludge..I should have checked the oil pressure...That would have been interesting.
As a backyard mechanic for 48 years I've only seen this once. It was my car!! Many, many years ago! Needless to say it never happened again! Period.
Good on ya.
I love that you used the dip stick to pull more sludge out haha. You know they aren't using it haha
Legend has it, the car is still being cleaned and sludge is still coming out.
More like its fucked
and yet by the grace of automotive jesus it still runs and carries on with its duties
@@kohaideath531 Automotive jesus will turn sludge into oil back again and that engine block will resurrect 3 days later.

I love these videos. Any time I think I’m not treating my car right because I missed my oil change by a few hundred miles I watch these.
Glad it makes you feel better.
Supposedly, if you add oil and a quart of automatic transmission fluid, the detergents in ATF cleaned out the sludge.. done a couple times most of the sludge gets loosened and drained with the oil..
Either a very well designed engine or a lucky owner or both, but wow surprised it still ran
That thumbnail of the oil sludge is terrifying. I would feel a deep dark hole in my heart if I saw that seeping from my car or motorcycle ; (
That oil has metal, dinosaurs, decomposed organs etc.
I mean, that’s impressive it still runs
The customer may not have had money for a repair, but surely they could have at least saved $50 to $70 for an oil change over 4 years of owning the vehicle.
Unless there's something we're missing here.
50-70 dollars is insanely cheap, cheapest ive seen for an oil change here is about £105
No one should pay for such an easy thing to learn/do. LEARN HOW TO CHANGE YOUR OWN OIL
@@addictedtragedyx I just did mine on saturday was very easy never done it before, got the oil on a black friday deal for £23, think it was around 50 total with an air and oil filter and little ratchet wrench kit, my car has okay ground clearance so I didn't even need to lift it
@@NO_obs [insert thumbs up here]
@@NO_obs That's awesome Owen, good job :)
I was taught back in the old days (1970) after the oil change, to disconnect the distributor wire to prevent the engine from starting, then turn the ignition key and let the engine turn over until you got oil pressure on the gauge. Of course, we no longer have distributors or oil pressure gauges.
I would love to see the Blackstone results from that oil.
I’m pretty sure this is my girlfriend’s car 😐
could be
Not mine cause she's always having me change hers.
Thats the biggest bullshit thing as a man imo. Once you start dating a girl, you are now in charge of taking care of her car. Cleaning out the 10 tons of clothes and bullshit, oil changes, tires.
You aren't married to her. You could be dating for a couple months, but you know if she breaks down somewhere, she's gonna call you looking for a solution, and that's just super inconvenient. So you start taking care of her car, like you adopted it. Your stepcar.
At least yours can drive
Give it back its sludge! It was surviving off that mud and now it cant run 😂
I've seen some bad oil in my life, but that one tops them all!
Worst I've seen.
He saved $300 in oil changes now he needs a $4,000 engine
And here I am with my new car wanting to change out the break-in oil at 1000 miles lol.
Knew someone who's friend did change out oil every 1000 miles, car ended up running 1,000,000 MILLION MILES. Not sure how old the car was, but this guy wouldn't lie. He said the odometer rolled over to start at 0 after that.
@@Runner8617 All the oil drained out of that car in its life could have been enough to power a country lol.
That’s a good thing when I had my motor away they said do the first oil change at 500 miles
@@Runner8617 what was the car?
@@Runner8617 changing at 1k is a waste of money and considering many shops don't properly dispose of used oil generally speaking going to be bad for the environment. Modern Oil can last much longer than 1k miles and you don't have to be anal about it to make your car last. At 1k the oil is basically coming out like new as it went in. You just need to follow the recommended intervals that's it. If his car really lasted a million miles it was a lot more than frequent oil changes that made it possible.
It's like the first oil change I did on my parent's weed whacker, which they insist was always properly maintained.
That model Commodore is still sought after by the younger guys in Australia.
At least with the old rear wheel drive cars you can change individual components to help keep the cost of repairs down to a minimum.
When you're mechanic utters the following two words, "holey moley", you know things are not good.
Watching that oil drip out is the Wednesday after taco Tuesday
Best take tacos off the menu.
What kinda of tacos do you be eating 😂
@Brad Allen sliding into third, then you feel a juicy turd...
A few years ago, a friend bought an old Chevy Cavalier. he drove it for 3+ yrs without changing oil. I noticed the filter was rusty and asked how long it had been. he said "I don't know". 2 weeks later the timing chain snapped and the pistons hit the valves and cracked the head in 2 places.
Neglect only goes so far.
25,000 miles with no oil and filter change.
I'm glad I watched this video.
I'm going to do my oil and filter in the morning… my Mum's too.
Farque!
😔
You can do it!
@@ziggassedup
Thanks ZIG.
☺️
“Why should I change my oil, it came with some when I bought it?”
I change my oil when I start to see my oil level dip stick lines are being covered with dark oil. 2500-3000 miles. Best oil is clean oil. Oil and filters are cheap. Engines are very very expensive
you would change oil in diesel every day then.
That is a hell of a engine...
Zzz
No one will ever know why I got this much likes. 🥵
Mine would TRUTHFULLY read, oil changed every 3000 miles. I've been driving 45 years, put as much as 350.000 miles on several cars. Never an engine issue or failure. I only buy brand new, and this is just one of the reasons!! Lol.
The entire reason why I never buy used cars.
John Franklin that’s crazy I didn’t know oil changes had that big of an impact
@@1212holden Huge impact. Do the math on changing the oil every 3,000 miles and putting 350,000 miles on a car. That's 116 oil changes! Look how many hours and time wasted during all that time. Take the same vehicle, do it with Amsoil and change it every 15,000. That drops it down to 23 oil changes. And don't forget to factory in an extra 1 or 2 MPG during that time. When you do the math, the Amsoil comes out almost free due to the savings of fuel. They did every time I put it in my own cars. And when you put nearly 900,000 miles and open up the engine and see that everything inside is within 1% of factory spec, that is the solid proof that Amsoil blows everyone away. I am absolutely amazed that I don't have hundreds of people asking me how to get this stuff. I should be flooded with messages asking me what oil and filters are compatible with their vehicle by now and how to order it. If the tables were turned and somebody told me about this information, I wouldn't be able to reach out to them fast enough to inquire on this oil.
@@thebestmotoroil101 i honestly dont blame you for not wanting to buy used. The car i currently own was bought from a family and whos teenage daughter had used it. Yea, never again.
This is just unfortunate. I'm from halfway across the globe and I feel for that poor car.
He got seriously lucky! He should've also try playing the lotto. I'm sure he would've hit the jackpot.
Some purple in that engine and it will run like new. No biggie!
It’s still more important to “check” than to “change”.
True at least that way you'd see the gunk on the dip stick...I doubt this guy ever lifted the bonnet.
Dayyuuum that's approximately 31,000 miles!
It is an amazing testament to the car that it still runs...
I am not a qualified mechanic, But more of a hobby (basics only) and been doing it for about 20 years. But trying to get some people to understand that you need to keep up with the services is like preaching to a brick wall.
Yep.
Just makes me sick to see someone mistreat their car. My one truck gets an oil change every 3000 miles and the other every 5000 miles.

@@ziggassedup boom boom....you're in overdrive....
I ran into that issue before, I drained it all out then I ran it on 5 quarts on transmission fluid & it cleaned the inside of the engine....till this day it’s still running perfectly it’s been 5 years
That's great.
I had a car like this once. The oil still drained fine but, thick. The filter looked just like that though. If memory serves me right it had been a little over 50k miles.
Can’t wait to see what the oil filter looks like...ooh, me too 😆
Looked nice didn't it.
That filter tho 😂 who does that to their poor car
Wicked.
Yeah most definitely clogged and probably had to go through the bypass valve.
The filter looks like coffee that's been in the same cups for years & it stands on its own.
What determines how often the oil should be changed on a vehicle?
Depending on vehicle age, type of oil and driving conditions, oil change intervals will vary. It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
So i need to drain everything up every 7000 miles ? That's expensive. They charged me 80 euro for it
Try more like upto 20,000 miles
With the Australian Jackmaster I will be changing the Jackmaster every 6 thousand miles and adding a quart of new Walmart synthetic oil. I am in the Dallas Texas area and drive mostly highway. I dont drain oil. When I was selling depth bypsss filters I sent filters to Norway and northern Canada. Im sure they didnt go 6000 miles in the winter. These people knew what the filters were. In the 60s we normally changed the filter and added a quart of new oil about every 2 000 miles in California. Oils werent as good and engines were nasty.
They tell you 8k so you'll need a new vehicle after the warranty expires. For the love of God, do it every 3k if you ACTUALLY want peace of mind, and want it to be dependable for 200k, 300k, 400k, 500k miles.
@@Mandolindo 3k is just wasteful. Unless you have a really old vehicle, use non synthetic, and cheap filters. Oil analysis on good 10k oil has shown it to be totally fine still. I've done 10k on my 4runner for years with good synthetic oil and a good filter and I'm at almost 300k miles with a smooth engine, no compression loss, and my oil looks fine coming out.
Customer: This is covered under warranty right?
Sure sir.
That's how my trucks oil looked when i first got it, definitely went a few years without an oil change. To add insult to injury it sat for 7 years before i rescued it. After a flush and valve cleaning it runs fine. Good ol' toyota
I know this may sound crazy, but when the oil is THAD BAD and the guy is broke... I would take some used synthetic oil from someone that maintains their car well and flush it with that. I mean it sounds crazy using used motor oil... but like me personally i run Mobil 1 extended for 5,000 miles. Its rated for at least double that, and in this mans case my used motor oil would be life sustaining for that mans car engine compared to what's in there. One mans trash will be this mans treasure simply because its SO MUCH better than the pure trash he has in there.
It never ceases to amaze me how much abuse a car will actually take
Agreed.
My brother RETARDO has been through 5 nice vehicles. He decided that oil cleans itself so he changes oil every ____50,000 _____ miles.
this mans got shavings in all his cylinders like a mf machine shop
Oil is converted into grease 😀
looks like they gave that car some tacobell
It's amazing he hasn't melted the engine.
yes
I've never ever seen anything like this, not even in the case of barn find cars. It's a miracle if that engine was still more or less in fine condition. When looking at the grease coming out it would be interesting to open up the engine and take a look inside.
I agree.
STREWTH ,we had a fella from the subcontinent come into our workshop to book hes SV21 Camry in for a minor service , which to the customer meant FULL SERVICE but for $99 hes coppin a oil filter and 5 litres of the cheap stuff ,Stiffie got the job and put it on the 2 post and drained the oil and it was similar to this ,we showed the customer and he asked us to remove the number plates and organise for it to be taken away to be scrapped ,NOW you wont believe this but my boss drained the barnacles and refilled the block with 2 litres off Dex3 and 2.5 litres off diesel ,started it and let it idle for i sh%t you not 15 minutes ,we drained it and screwed on a new filter and flushed it twice more with cheap as oil ,he roadied it and slammed on 3 months rego and copped $1500 for it and every 10K that ol Camry still comes in for a service ,if i hadnt off seen it i wouldnt believe it
I recon this one could have come back but I never saw him again...Cheers Pete.
Apparently "Some" Australians and Americans have a lot in common they ""Drive em' into the ground!!...You have some great Videos thanks!!
Cheers Martin.
The sound from the engine made my stomach turn
I don't know a whole lot about cars, but I know how to do basic maintenance. Oil changes, checking the oil, maintaining and replacing fluids, changing a tire, replacing a battery. These are things that all car owners should know. How could someone not change their oil for so long lol?
Mate I wouldn’t have touched it. When a customer has a car like that I’d turn them away.
A bit hard to do that when it's in the air and the sump plug is out but I agree.
ZIGgassedUP bugger!
@Stovebolt50 I expected to see it on Monday morning for some kind of issue but not as yet so it's either fine or broken down somewhere.
That's just abuse, pure and simple.
its gone beyond an oil change. Its art now. I think the car owner needs some type of psychological help actually.
You have the most original comment...Well done mate.
Nice !
Not really but I've seen this firsthand.
Once upon a time....
When I was a young mechanic the girl across the street complained her 1975 Chevy Luv Truck (a rebadged Isuzu) wasn't running well.
I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick - showed nothing but a black smear like tar on it. I said: how often do you change your oil ? She said: "Never - I didn't know I was supposed to !"
Then I opened oil fill cap - there was a black plug instead of a hole. It was hard, enough that my finger couldn't push through. I pulled the Valve cover and what emerged looked like a Black sponge cake, with the cover being a 'bundt cake pan' - even the letters ISUZU were visible in the encrusted 'CAKE' of hardened oil residue. NASTY is all I can say....
I cleaned the crust away with a soft plastic chisel and we proeceeded to do rapid oil changed to clean things out. I recall saying: Sorry but your engine MAY NOT recover from the 7 years (this was 1982) of NO OIL CHANGES !
The wonder was that this little truck still ran, albeit not very well !
It's worth mentioning that in that era, late 70's - Synthetic Oils were VERY rare (Amsoil was just started) and so she just had paraffin laden 'Dino Oil' to work with. With that, adhering to 3,000 mile oil changes was a MUST. Today we take 6,000 - 10,000 mile intervals using Synthetic Oil for granted !
In her defense, her father had died suddenly a few years earlier and she had no man in the house to make sure she knew the basics of auto maintenance.
All my 4 daughers know the basics of how to check their oil and antifreeze.
Curious to know how this car (IF ?) recovered from this serious neglect.
I started in the trade in '75...I remember pulling the valve cover of an old Ford 250 I6 and it looked like someone had filled it with expansion foam...I also remember pulling the deain plug on a Jag and it appeared there was straight STP in there.!!...Did this one recover.?...I don't know...He hasn't returned...Cheers.
