You rebuild a transmission, you have my respect. Nice jag. America needs more men like this man.
I appreciate that. I don't think people understand how complicated a transmission can be. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment.
@@oxmanagain can i be your son?
Haha
@@ImZene Good one Zene!
@trancus11 I have built several MRC Tamiya RC model cars. Does that count?
You my friend have earned a subscriber .. no nonsesne talk no jokes ...no annoying music ..i like how ur repetative and like to reinforce ur knowldge for the well being of us little people that dont knw much of cars.. Im a registered nurse and you remind me of me thank you .
Honestly you are correct about using the cleaner first. The best method is to do the least aggressive or intrusive method that will work. Youll save money and help to identify issues. Plus if your wrong, it always good to clean fuel systems up a bit. Thanks for a great video!
my brother says cleaning additives are fine but octane boosters are not they can burn holes in the aluminum parts
What do you mean “using the cleaner first”. Can you explain that please? I think is a great video, but I didn’t know about an order…?
@@user-cj4hk8lr1v its been a while since that comment, but i believe i meant to try the easiest method first, which is kne of these fuel system cleaners. If it doesn't help, then you need to look deeper into the problem.
If theres a cheap and easy way to a possible solution, its usually best to try that first before you try more aggressive/invasive/expensive options.
@@bobcatwelder00 Octane boosters won't burn holes in anything, but what they can do is damage the catalyst and o2 sensors over time due to the MMT that most contain, which is why many aren't street legal. My car's owners manual specifically says to not use gasoline or additives containing MMT. Also, octane boosters are virtually useless because they do so little (most raise the octane by less than one number). The "good" ones like Royal Purple Max Boost claim "up to" a 3 number increase, but putting that $15 or so towards just buying higher octane gas would get you much more of an octane increase per dollar and without potentially damaging additives.
When he started announcing the prices I had to look at the video posting date. It makes more sense now! 😂
Honestly, it's a damn shame how much the the prices have increased in the last 2 years. That's usually something you'd see in a 15-year difference, not 2 years.
Let’s blow this channel up, Everyone needs to recommend this guy!! Underrated, Very informative
Best comment ever. Thanks.
Agree thank you!
@@oxmanagain
Berryman's Fuel injector cleaner has the best reviews and it's the cheapest.
@@dfls5069 I use Acetone. Been doing it for years. Every now and again I add an ounce to my tank. I use a shot glass, but a small cup like the one that comes with Pepto Bismal works just as well. I've been told by "experts" that it's bad on o-rings, but I've got 256,000 on my jeep, and 75k on my Harley. No issues.
Seriously! I just found ox today and I can't wait to watch all of his videos. This is great stuff! 🕺
My car was slow not responding as fast as it had when it was new. Ran a bottle of royal purple max clean through it and about halfway through the tank it was basically back to normal. If it works it works. Saved me from buying all new fuel injectors.
Scotty Kilmer used purple in one of his videos.
can i used on jeep liberty 2009 .
Thank you for bringing awareness of the fact that everyone should pay attention to cleaning your fuel injectors!
Using Shell or Chevron gas once in awhile or any of these cleaners is a step in the right direction. He is telling his story and your story may be different, but now you are aware of the advantages of keeping your injectors clean. Good job friend.
I like how you roll. Just having the skills to keep a jaguar on the road gives you my respect!
Great presentation , I’ve never had a lot of faith in “ additives” but it’s also true that they’ve come a long way and are much better now .
Especially, if you have direct injection you need to use a cleaner... I have the older multi-port injection. So you need one for what type of injection you have.
Thank you for the video Sir. I have a 98 Dodge grand caravan SPORT EDITION. She has over 231,000 miles. The Gumout in the White Can is what I use. IT'S ALMOST SPIRITUAL! My engine becomes super smooth and quiet! Stay Safe Brotha. 🤘🤘🤘
My favorite one is the Gumout multipurpose tune up
Appreciate this in depth review of each, you’re doing the hard work for us
I love how you introduced your credibility, very humble! Much respect to you sir.
Now I don’t have to discover on my own which one is the best. You did it. Thanks for helping others
Done DIY since the 1960's. More difficult today. Your video is helpful.
Good presentation and practical. I've used both Seafoam and Berryman's B-12. Since I generally have codes that indicate where the problems could be, I have yet to have any pour-in cleaner totally fix the problem. That being said, and always more expensive to replace parts, I am getting ready to start using the Rislone fuel system cleaners and hope for the best. Thanks!!
Love that you didn’t play around with saying what’s the best
Just came across this video, only 2 years late. Thanks for the honest review. One additional tip, instead of looking at the bottles’ ounces note the number of fuel gallons that the manufacturers recommend treating. A bigger bottle doesn’t always mean more gallons treated or a deeper clean. Glad we could get your check engine light off and your Caddy running better.
What's the difference between the Gumout 2x Fuel injector cleaner and the Gumout Fuel injector Carb cleaner? The carb cleaner + injector cleaner all in one is cheaper than just the fuel injector cleaner alone? Never understood that lol
Great video. I love all the work that was put in to this video, the post work with B-Roll, and text labels really put this video above others for me. Thank you for making this video!
Everyone should use a good fuel additive for cleaning and maintenance.Before I became an mma fighter I was a technician for Nissan and I've seen the difference running this stuff can make
Dude!! That was awesome, thanks for taking the time to put this together, super helpful 👍
I put in MMO in my gas tank every November for my winter car. I have no issues. And of course, I change my oil every year despite the mileage pennzoil 5/30 synthetic in both winter '03 Saturn Ion and my summer '98 Honda Civic.
Got both for free and do regular maintenance.
My Mercedes-Benz C230, 1998 is a high mileage (256,000 miles) car that I've known since it was new. The naturally aspirated 4 cylinder was having problems with rough idle after cold starts. I changed the spark plugs but that seemed to make it worse. I tried the Seafoam fuel additive, Seafoam valve cleaner, Royal Purple fuel additive, and Gumout fuel additive, at least two or three cans (one per fill up on an empty tank) and still had problems with cold starting and idling.
Needing a fill up, and looking for a can or Royal Purple, all that the parts store stocked was Chevron High Mile fuel additive. I filled up the sixteen gallon tank with premium, poured in the Chevron additive, and then drove thirty miles. There were two additional freeway trips. Then, some cold weather hit us, I was shocked the next morning when the car started right up and idled smoothly. Leaving, it accelerated without hesitation, and warmed up, it was buttery smooth. Side note: I have always used only the best synthetic fluids/oils and the car burns no oil whatsoever.
Thank you for taking your time, experience, and personal expense to make this informative video... I will be changing brands I have been using. And you helped me realize that use of these products can help me( or my mechanic) to isolate issues my trucks engine is having. Very helpful.
Appreciate the advice. I live near a beach, so I use fuel treatment fluids to keep the injectors clean. They help.
You’re demeanor and voice is so calm and soothing to the ear. Great informative video respect
Thanks for taking the time to test all those products. It certanly helped me with my vehicle's problem
I too am impressed with your findings . I will give Rislone a try in my 2012 grand cherokee . Thanks for doing this composite test you are very knowledgable let me close with that . Respect 🙏🏽
I appreciate your time and thanks for watching. Let me know your results.
Thanks, what all works,& problem....?
Great video. I used the Gumout High Milage treatment on my 4.6L V8 (after a chipmunk damaged the wiring and caused a misfired cylinder) just to get rid of any unburned carbon deposits. Used it after the coil and spark plug was replaced and the car runs fine.
My wife works for USPS and uses her own vehicle to deliver mail so I am constantly dealing with car issues. I have found these fuel additives to help a lot. When it comes to fuel system cleaners, there are a few extra things to consider. With the introduction of ethanol in fuel, there is a higher chance of water build up. Ethanol can also clog up injectors and cat. converters. The EPA also makes car manufactures vent the valve cover (oil and oil fumes) directly into the air path just before the throttle body. Doing regular maintenance like replacing the air filter, cleaning the throttle body, and cleaning the Mass Air flow sensor have become more essential. Using these fuel cleaners occasionally also helps clean out some of the gunk that builds up. When that gunk builds up in things like fuel injectors, the fuel injector starts to wear out faster. Doing regular maintenance, as stated above, along with adding one of these additives to the fuel system will help prevent maintenance cost over time especially if you do it before there is an issue. Some additives like Seafoam can be added to the oil system as well. Just make sure to follow instructions and local laws. I never heard of Rislone, but I will be checking it out now.
had to sub. Love the honesty and how easy you are to follow. I'm learning all about auto repair on my spare time and appreciate the concise and straight forward explanations. thanks so much!
Much freaking RESPECT!! you did all that, and you still didn't say IM A MECHANIC. I'm handy, but I don't have the balls that u got. Respect!
brother. cant thank you enough for this video.. finally someone did this.. keep it up
I agree with you, it help keep thing’s clean, it doesn’t rebuild the engine.
Hey man your test videos are the best and deserve more views! I’m subscribing!
I appreciate your support and thanks for the compliment.
Thanks a lot brother. It helps that you talked about your escalade too. That's the same issue I'm having right now. My research says Rislone is the best so I'm grateful to see that that one was the winner for you. Just adds to my good research finding. I'm about to give it a shot here soon. Thanks a ton man. Really appreciate it. Im a SoCal guy too so maybe I'll see you one day for some mechanical advice. Thanks again homie a ton.
You are a good mechanic sir. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I am a mechanic but not as knowledgeable as yourself.
Good for you fighting back against the naysayers! Thanks for the information!!
Thanks, Oxman! You are the absolute best. Cheers
Thank you for posting this video. I am a DIY guy because I hate to pay 150 bucks an hour for someone else's time when I could just save that money by doing it myself. Anyway, my vehicle had been running rough, shaking, I had a check engine light, misfire on cylinder 1. I suspected that it may have been the coil pack, but before taking the thing all apart I decided to dump some injector cleaner in because I remembered having watched this video... When I ran the injector cleaner the vehicle ran a little better, and it actually shut the check engine light off. She still wasn't running 100%, but improved enough to turn the light off. But, then I knew that it wasnt the coil pack causing the problem, it was the injector. It bought me enough time to get a new injector ordered, I replaced the injector and now she runs like new.
I appreciate your take on these cleaners I would’ve liked to seen comprehensive before and after photos and evidence as to which one performed the best. Thanks
Rislone just turned off my 2011 Honda CR-V Check Engine light today. And the engine just seems to start and run a lot smoother now. Thanks.
👍🙂
I love how you explained stuff. Much more sensible than most other videos I watched. Good stuff!
B-12 and Lucas for me. The B-12 for cleaning and the Lucas for lubrication.
I pour a couple ounces of one or the other in a tank full. No need to use the whole bottle at one time.
Also, don't forget to keep some Fuel Saver around incase you don't drive your vehicle very often. That ethanol really screws with fuel systems when sitting still for months. Works like a cork in the fuel system.
You're right!
Leave your vehicle sitting for several months with ethanol fuel and you'll see the issues that come up.
amen brother, I agree !
I have actually poured in both at the same time, as an experiment works great lol
That was awesome thanks so much for helping so many of us who have limited funds
This is about the best video I've seen on additives. 👍
Many moons ago (1987) an old retired Cajun auto mechanic told me about the elixir of life for my sick 1979 Mustang. It was Marvel Mystery oil. I got a can and he watched me pour 1/2 of the can (16 ozs.)in the gas tank. While it was just idling and we were talking with my hood up he pointed at my engine. It was running smooth and getting smoother by the minute. I was amazed !!! Been using it every since. 😁
Hey thanks a lot for sharing, I was to try one of those but thought to myself self how well could it work, but after seeing your video I'm sold!👍
Thank you for the video I like it when people take the time to test products.
I use them mainly for maintenance more than anything, given long enough all vehicles will build deposits. PEA based cleaners tend to do very well in the combustion chamber as the addictive isn't instantly burnt up due to the heat (and lab tests show this) very effective for this type of cleaning. I really do like Berrymans B12 Chem-tool though for injectors/carbs, it's more aggressive than PEA but it can't take the heat inside the chamber so it does extremely little there.
B12 Chem-tool is kinda my generic catch all for most things, I've kinda learned it does a really good job with carburetors, especially lawn mowers, which granted are not hard to take apart but if I can put 2 ounces in my gas tank every summer it really seems to help prevent ethanol (only option here) from clogging the jets on the carb. It also does seem to help with the floaters inside a gas tank if they are stuck, might not get it the first time, but you run 2-3 tanks it will improve significantly.
Anything combustion related though is default PEA based for me, about all else is B12 Chem-Tool, it's not a mechanic in a bottle, those products don't exist but they can help prevent build up, and some work particularly well in winter to help mix some of that water with the fuel (if it's not a large amount) to get it out of the fuel tank. I use them mostly for maintenance though and as I said B12 works very well with mowers if the jets are not fully clogged yet, otherwise you need to take it apart but it helps prevent build up after (with yearly use).
Some vehicles just are not worth the repair anyways, not all issues are obvious either, I don't believe mechanics in a bottle exist but at the same time I don't feel these products are intended for those types of jobs (or claimed as such), you take apart a carb and you spray it down with carb cleaner, you clean the jets, and you put it back together, these chemicals can do that from the fuel tank, minor issues can exist on a car and simply not be serious enough to pay for a repair but these can be a good option if the issue isn't severe.
With B12 cleaner you want it run through the tank as quickly as possible!
I.e. before a long drive on the highway to empty the fuel tank. It deteriorates plastics etc.
Imagine that eating through your fuel tank lever float.
I'm a Firm Believer in Berrymans too. It Cleared my O2 Sensors Dash lights ( on my Exhaust) Carbon build up on my Downstream O2 Sensor on the Catalytic converter. I use it on Back to Back Fill ups, every 6 Months.
I’ve used Lucas for 25 years.
@@durango8882 Yeah, and my grandfather always told me a shot of whiskey before bed prevents the elephant's from trampling you to death while you sleep.
He lived to be 83, and didn't die from trampling so it clearly worked.
@@GainingDespair A wise man. I drink whiskey too.. Vice Grip Garage uses it so I think I will go by his recommendation too. It’s all good. Cheers 🥃 ✌🏻
Excellent video simple to the point
Great video filled with great information. Thank you.
I soaked the injectors off my father's 92' Oldsmobile that was running rough in Chevron's Tech-Ron cleaner. I was amazed how much brown gunk came out of them. The car runs perfectly now.
I had a 93 Grand Prix GTP. I used two bottles of Techron in my tank which then proceeded to clog the fuel filter lol. After I changed it I bought a bottle of Gumout high mileage and kept and eye on the fuel economy which after a while started to increase. By the time I was done with that tank I was getting 26mph on the highway after continued use of Gumout my fuel economy eventually got to 28 mpg. That's with a car that had 248k miles!
Thank you for the great video!! I’m going to put this in my truck, you have all the experience you need. Keep up with the videos!!
Thanks bruh 🙏. Appreciate you sharing your time, knowledge, expertise and suggestions.
Very natural and truthful video , thanks
Nice Video, I like your style, very informative and you seem like a very down to earth and practical person as you explain things. NICE JOB!
Thank you for your efforts and sharing what you learned.
Watched your video, went to walmart and bought what you suggested and man it works. Thanks.
Good show. I'll give it a try.
Informative, humble and graceful with the nay-sayers. Instant subscribed
Thanks for the vid - victory lap was a nice touch. Good to hear from other DIYers on products
Thank you for this I will be trying in my Escalade.
STP is very good 😊
Great information on this subject . Thank you 😊
Not scientific but always analytical with real_time solutions for the common man/woman! Respect/Shikamoo and looking forward to 2021 enlighten videos from your channel.
I appreciate your support and comments. I try my best. Thanks for watching. Have a happy New Year.
I've never really thought about it that way, using these as a first step identifier. Gread video!
Thanks for the vid and info! Great explanations and no 'Fluff' !!
Thank you for the video!
You are absolutely right. Starting with the easy way in order to fix something that may cost $$$, Is a great idea.
Also I highly recommend using
Liqui Moly Gasoline system cleaner or injector cleaner. They are absolutely great 👍
Thank you and excellent presentation.
I agree whatever tool we can use to help us narrow down the problem,,,is a win.
The Rislone is GREAT Stuff - My 20212 - 120K Mitsubishi Outlander has immediately come back to life! - Amazing results - TY so much for this video!!!!
Thanks so much for this, blessings 🙏!
Thank you for doing the foot work and research.
Experience always speaks louder. Thank you for the information I liked your video. Cheers.😊👍
Oxman Great video , skill set impressive & above all you make more sense than other tubers, Thanks God bless you and yours .
I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of your day.
awesome video! I’ve noticed my truck shuttering lately and was looking for a video on additives hoping i could find my problem or even fix it! Thank you
This is one of the realest vid, thanks Professor!
Appreciate your work man! Thank you
One thing to remember with a lot of these products is that they will provide a power increase while they're in the gas - which can make you think they must be working, or it must be the fuel system, but you really need a fresh clean tank ran through under the same driving conditions as before the cleaner to determine if anything has truly changed (or an OBD tool that can check things like fuel trim)
For large displacement engines, you likely won't see much change unless you had some serious blockage in your injectors or a lot of soft carbon buildup on valves. Usually this requires more intensive cleaning than just fuel treatment, but it's still good as a preventative measure, preferably before oil changes.
For small, efficient engines, high efficiency is so touchy and vulnerable that even with a little cleaning, getting a better spray pattern, air/fuel dispersion from cleaner valves, better spark, etc, will actually give you a noticeable 1-5 mpg boost if there was just mild debris.
In any case these cleaners are worth running prior to an oil change along with a few italian tune-ups near the end of the tank, or like you said, as a diagnostic tool to see how light cleaning may have influenced things. There are stories of them solving significant issues as well so it's worth it.
Great video Brother, I have had some good results over the years with two products I use on new and used cars and trucks, it the sea foam, and Lucas. Both work well for me. Use them on every oil change and in between service, also use the sea foam in the fuel on my John Deere tractor. I noticed the engine run smoother and faster start up.
Thanks for posting the video. 👍🏽😎
My snowblower was surging pretty badly and I ran the some lucas through it I had bought for my diesel truck... no more surging it most definitely worked, it would only run on partial choke prior to the treatment
I use Mmo every tank full,it does what it's supposed to and it's very economical,I also use it in all my small engines.
Very Informative ! Thank You !
Risol. That my top recommendation. Also royal purple. Ive fixed 4 vehicles with it. 10 for cleaners. Every oil change for me
This was really helpful. Thank you bro 😎 👍🏻🔥
You the man!!! Appreciate the knowledge brother 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video man! Super helpful
I really don't understand and know how to use those products, it's very confusing because there are so many products doing the same thing. AFTER watching your video I think I know how to use it now. Greatly appreciated your kindness 🙏
Great Video Thank you!
I also have used STP 5in1
I appreciate someone that does the takes required to make a bottle breakdance on a toolbox
I have already spent too much on buying a new oxygen sensor, engine light is still there on my Audi A4 B8, your presentation has won my heart as I was planning further fixes, car owners are blessed to have you. i will come back for feedback
Thanks for your time making this video, I agree with you.
I poured in the Rislone Hy-per Fuel Complete Fuel System Cleaner in my 2004 Mazda 6 S and the engine performs much better than the other competing brands. Great bargain price seeing two different color chemicals in just one bottle.
I use Lucas in all my small gas engines, diesel engines, and diesel heater.
Every once in awhile I’ll run a bottle in my car, it definitely runs better when on the sauce.
lucas products are proven and legit
Very interesting and sensible approach which can give results for engine rough idle and dirty injectors. I found STP FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER did the job for me.
Great content man. Thanks for the information. God Bless You always.
Thanks for your honesty. Got my vote. Props!
Thank you for sharing your information, much appreciated
Great informative video. You have a unique talent, keep up the great work.
