Probably would be a good idea to do another flush/oil change in 500-1000 miles. The new oil is going to pick up a lot of the sludge still in there.
I would do another flush right after the first, and change oil again in 1500-2000 miles
that was my co workers cure with out 'special cleaners' result = perfect sludge sometimes keeps leaking seal from leaking and less is better.
Would have used regular castrol and flush it after a week, that solvent flushing liquid is made to destroy oil and residue, i destroyed an 3100 gm v6 engine running it in the street to clean…..
@@ghysbois3430 worked for a co worker on my suggestion just get a few extra oil changes till drain oil reaches close to normal expectations that way no weird chemicals to attack weakened seals result was perfect.
He does his videos on the car then it sits for weeks
Bearing in mind the likely use of the “Metherati” of course the wipers are only going to work on HIGH 🤣
YOU WIN THE COMMENTS SECTION!
Maybe they smuggled also meth in the rear wheel arch..?! 😄
I see what you did there!
Good one.
🤣🤣🤣
The longest oil change I know of was when I was a teen and working at a lube shop. A customer brought in a 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix (This was in 1986) with 64,000 miles on it. The oil had never been changed, I could tell because the original oil filter was still painted black with the engine and there was no sign on the drain plug that it had ever been touched. The guy stopped at a parts store and dumped a quart of engine flush in it and DROVE it to our shop (It says on the can not to drive it with flush in it). When it left it was knocking pretty bad and got louder as it went down the road.
That's actually super impressive that it made it that long without an oil change. Even hondas only make it like 30-50k without an oil change, from what I've seen
it would have been all highway miles
@@warriorfortruth8521 gotta get that coke from mexico to miami fast
That has a lot to do with it having a giant sump. 9-10 quarts? Still I'd bet there is some wiping and scoring on the crank bearings.
Hondas make it without oil
@@KrummyBrinkleJr. Overland routes generally run to Chicago; most of the drugs going to Miami are on boats, some on planes & even submarines.
It's amazing how comfortable Wizard is on camera now in comparison to his first appearances thank you you're introduction to TH-cam and now his own successful (and entertaining) channel. Long Live Wizard
He's crazy charismatic, I prefer when wizard and Tyler are together. You can tell how deep their friendship is. It's kinda wonderful.
He looked like Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights in his first interview. "I don't know what to with my hands." Car Wizard.
And so much more comfortable and humorous. He had a great teacher.
Not sure I agree. Whilst I’d love to watch the wizard’s videos I just can’t cos he’s so awkward. Maybe I should try again.
@@jiface I came here to say this. I find much enjoyment when they're combing over a car together, being a couple chuckleheads.
Good choice on the oil, this car has had enough Molly already 😂
😅
Probably what it was based on smell description.
@@rednecktech9485 Molly is made from saffron oil. Meth however...
Thats pretty funny
LMAO! Well played.
I have been watching you for years Hoovie. I just want to say thank you for all the fantastic content you create, Also the amazing community you have built. Thank you Tyler!!
I'm glad you mentioned how it odd it was for a drug runner to not maintain their vehicle. You would think that if you were doing something so illegal, you would want to make absolutely sure you didn't have any mechanical issues. I used to laugh watching shows like Cops when I saw that most drug runners got popped for things like bad tags, burned out lights, or cracked glass. If I was smuggling drugs, the car would be clean, everything working, I would be doing the speed limit wearing a tuxedo with my hands at 10 and 2. lol
I always had the same thought. I'd do my own vehicle inspection once a week to make sure my lights and everything were in proper working order.
The less you spend, the more you make from drugs.
Nah you want slightly rough cars to do runs so you blend in. Also paying to fix things isn't cost effective when they can sell and get something else
@@kitsuneneko2567 Most likely a person would draw less attention if a person was 'dressed' like 'the people of Walmart' attire.
🤣😂😂hmm maybe you could be😂😂🤣🤣
Make sure you change the cabin air filter and try to have the hvac system vents cleaned. That stuff can get into your skin and lungs pretty easliy. I studied criminal forensics in college and worked in a crime lab. I remember a DEA agent getting accidentally dosed that way when he used the AC with the recirc on.
I made the same suggestion. The interior is caustic if it's actually contaminated.
Yes, but generally speaking Meth has little to no odor. The cat piss smell comes from production. Ether a cat just pissed on the car, they were transporting "lab" equipment/waste, or they were cooking in there.
@@OhPhuckYou I figured they probably just peed on it before repo
2:17 welp its already too late .
@@OhPhuckYou I second this. Also, people who get high from "fumes" are the same kids who drink one beer and act hammered
Love seeing Johnny nonchalantly turning his hand around when shifting from third to forth; proper European car shifting.
That is the one of the dumbest things that I have ever saw anybody do.
@@It5M3Again what’s with you? Why so sour?
@@It5M3Again it’s to prevent a mis-shift. No way to accidentally hit second instead of third.
Gotta cup it just right to rip it like you stole it lmaooo
Tyler: I would change the oil again in about a 100 miles maximum. I think you'll find the filter will be plugged up solid once again. And it'll probably take a third time to get the filter to even start working again properly. Don't use the flush again, but change the oil and filter at least two more times with the next being in just three days of driving. I almost guarantee the filter will be plugged by the time you get it home this first time. This first time, you live 30 miles away from Wizard? Just take it home and turn right around and go back and do it again. Really Tyler. I went through this once with a company truck that hadn't had an oil change in 20 thousand miles. And I saved the engine. She went for years after. Go about 150 miles after the 2nd oil change and 300 after the third. Mine were spin on canister filters and the first one didn't pour a drop when you flipped it over to drain it. Neither did the 2nd filter Nothing came out of it at all, it was completely plugged and the changed oil looked like ink. I really started to worry. The third one did drain out and I ran the 4th one 3,000 miles as normal. And the motor was fine ever since. Don't skimp out if you want to save this engine, as it might already be too late. It should be too late. And don't just change the filter. My oil wasn't clean until the 3rd change and about 300 miles. I was really worried there for a while. Filters and oil is cheap, engines aren't.
And yes, drug runners don't take care of their stuff. Our Sheriffs got their go fast boat from one that blew up out running a helicopter chasing it. And they had outrun it before. The Sheriffs patrol Lake Erie between the U.S. and Canada. They got the boat at auction cheap and the reason the one engine blew was it ran out of oil. After tear down of the engine it was determined that the oil had never been changed in either engine once. In a pair of blown 507 custom made big block go fast boat engines. That's a fuelly dragster engine. "Change the oil? What's that?" Can you believe that? It was running at 110 mph when it blew. (imagine that ride) And the boat was full of cocaine. Yeah, drug runners. Lost a whole load and got arrested because they were too cheap to change the oil. I thought it was hysterical at the time. So did the Sheriffs. They got a 200,000 dollar Scarab for 3,500 bucks and a new engine. In 1984 dollars. Do you think that was a rigged auction or what? And they still have that boat today and keep it like brand new. With that thing on the water, drug running by boat has pretty much stopped. I believe it will hit 125 mph top speed. Wow, that's really moving on the water. It's basically used for rescue these days. No matter where you are on that huge lake, if you're sinking? That thing will be with you in minutes.

Lol I’ve religiously avoided that vid at the time. I was told the general picture of what it was about and I did everything to not have those images in my head lol
But what's the Blippi thing they are talking about?
@@Lexx1976 well don’t look it up, preserve your innocence like i chose to lol
Lmaooo
I would still ask my local PD to run a dog around the car so that doesn’t happen when there are colored lights behind you. I did it with a buddies Escalade that had some poorly fitting trim panels and a weed like smell. I and my buddy were glad we did since they found a few things that could have been bad had he gotten pulled over. They also put a flag on the vin so that if he gets pulled over other cops have some back story on the vehicle.
I'm kind of surprised his cop buddy didn't at least recommend this.
Yeah the only reason I can think of his cop buddy not recommending this is because the area who he lives in is so small that everyone knows who he is
Perfect! Now start smugglin!
@@barnyard9058 true although I wouldn’t want to run the risk on a trip although I am not sure anyone would take a car with that history to far from home.
@@dav8388 I know it only takes them a few minutes if the dog doesn’t find anything mine took a half hour since they had to remove a fender liner, and 3 interior trim pieces.
Thanks for letting me know that this car can run over 100k miles. That gives a lot of confidence.
I'd be curious to see what an engine oil analysis reveals. We already know it's bad, but they can give you all sorts of big words about how bad it is.
That’s a baaaad opinion you have
The car must of felt so relieved because it has held its pee for 60 thousand miles. Once they removed the oil cap it took the most satisfying relief of its life 🤣🤣🤣
No wonder the interior smelled like pee lol. Problem solved 👍
Hoovie is known as the drug lord El Cheapo
More like El Dumbo 😂
LOL
This is the first time I've watched Hoovie - you're such a great presenter! Loving this channel.
I died when he said 2 girls one cup 💀! But speaking of BG, I used to use that stuff a lot when I worked for a dodge dealership, and I am gonna start using BG again!
Would have been fun to send that drained oil to Blackstone lab for analysis. First line of their report would have been, 'what the hell is this?'
Yeah, missed opportunity
Why is it when ever a Cartuber mentions sending their oil to Blackstone, I never hear the results of the test? I only ever hear they're going to do it but the story always ends after they take the sample.
"Next time please send us oil instead of tar."
@@nicholasvinen HA, HA good one!
Their response: please stop damaging our test equipment
Change the brake fluid too if the car has seen that little service - I'm sure it is -wait for it- braking bad.
🤣🤣🤣
Nah.. no need. It's Saul Goodman.
And see how dirty the air filters are too. I'd imagine some spark plugs and this thing will be running all right.
Ha ha ha!!!
That was a riot. The comedy duo killed it in this episode. Loved it!
This is by far my favorite episode you’ve ever done of anything hoovie. I died laughing through dinner. I had Italian, home made spaghetti
Credit where it's due, that Maserati did the equivalent of running a full marathon after a Mexican lunch and never broke down bad
yeah. That's cause it's a Ferrari engine. If they'd put a Chrysler engine in there it'd have quit LONG ago hahah
@@typicalmountainbiker yep
@@typicalmountainbiker Its mostly chrysler.
@@coffelt683 The engine isn't though. The engine is a Ferrari engine. Chrysler engines are notorious for having a ton problems if you don't keep them in absolute mint condition. Driving it this long with no oil change would have made it die probably 20,000 miles ago at the very best.
Maybe they smuggled also meth in the rear wheel arch..?! 😄
I'd suggest that the owner didn't want to leave the car unattended at a service centre/mechanics where it could be 'recovered' easily by repossession agents or perhaps inspected unknown by law enforcement while putting together a case against him.
They didn't know one mobile mechanic?
They couldn’t drive it up on amazon ramps and change it themselves? It takes like 25 minutes for a newb
@@TheOriginalPyroBEAST you have to learn how to fix cars so it can be challenging to do the oil change and filters if you don’t know what to do. It’s also tricky if the part you need to change is located in a inaccessible location in the engine bay
But that does not explain why they didn't change the oil themselves.
the friendship between you and wizard is one reason i love watching your videos.
I was eating while watching this video and i almost spit my food out on multiple occasions. Very good humor and i love the dynamic between you and the wizard.
Bro I would’ve died laughing if this came in for an inspection.
@Newcious ok. Not sure what you’re trying to promote here.
I work with Maserati in Italy, the V6 of the levante is a chrysler pentastar tuned up by maserati and ferrari Engineers . The engine is produced in Maranello at the Ferrari factory and than it is shipped to Torino at the car assembly plant , it is a good and very reliable engine as proven by your video … the noise it makes tells you right away that it is not a Ferrari designed engine …. the correct and only lubricant for that engine in the USA is the Pennzoil platinum Maserati 10w60 not Castrol …. Please … The only levante with a real Ferrari engine is the trofeo version that is mounting the fantastic Ferrari V8 with the standard Ferrari voice 😊
Why 10W60? That's a weird oil weight. I would've thought 0W30 or 5W30 would be more like it.
1. Chrysler
2. good and very reliable engine
pick one.
@@Live.Vibe.Lasers Chrysler built inarguably the most reliable engine of all time, the Slant 6. But as far as modern Chrysler engines, there really aren't any "actual" Chrysler engines. You have Pentastars engineered by Mercedes and built by Fiat, you have some that were designed by Hyundai, some Mitsubishis, etc. People bragging about their big 'Merkin Hemis probably have no idea that it's like 80% a Renault/Peugot design lol
@@RockandrollNegro There is absolutely nothing that I can find about the 3rd gen hemi being any sort of design other than Chrysler.
Its not that I didnt believe you, I just wanted to know more. And there is ZERO anything about anything of it being derived from another engine, let alone a psa motor.
It looks to me to be a clean sheet design.
Edit:
Psa (or what is now psa) had a hemi engine back in the day. But there is no way it's related. The new hemi isn't technically even a hemi. It's pentaspherical, like every modern engine.
Edit 2:
And there is zero indication that MB had anything to do with the development of the pentastar, other than it was developed at the time that the two companies were merged.
But so was the m157, and no one is claiming Chrysler had anything to do with that.
Well, actually, I've found a lot of forum posts saying that it is partially a MB design, but none of them had any sauce. It sounds like salesmen BS to me.
_"Yeah, this here new Dart has the v6 in it, and now that MB is running the show, you can think of this new Dart as a Mercedes engine. It's fancy."_
This thread is useless without sources. Again, it's not that I don't believe you, but no one else is making the claims you are, and there is no documentation to back it up. When gm got help with the zr1 motor in 89, everyone knew it was a mercury marine thing. These things are known, not hidden.
@@herranton yeah really would like to know what Renault and Peugeot contributed to the Hemi.. firstly because they are direct competitors. PSA is Peugeot + Citroën (+Opel now) since the 80s and Renault has always been it’s own thing until Nissan and the rest. Even though I heard the engine and transmission in the delorean are Peugeot /Renault/Volvo
Y’all are a riot!! Love both channels with The Wizard and yours Hoovie.
Love your videos Hoovie. Thank you for all you do.
For the smell, use an ozone machine. It will neutralize the smell and then have it detailed really well.
Yeah a good carpet extraction and changing the cabin air filter will do a lot for this car
Ozone smell is bad too tho
Just have to let it air out thoroughly before you drive it
Ozone machines also kill elastics so be careful. I've dealt extensively with them and smoke damaged insurance claim items.
@@Chris_Moncada Yes but it literally airs out. Because it's O3
But you're right, you really shouldn't breath it in
I'm hoping that you ran the engine for a short trip and changed the oil again after that flush. looks like there was more than what that old crusty oil could hold in suspension
For real....rinse and Repeat
I would also changed the oil filter before first flush
@Newcious no one cares, people like you need to stop spamming others channels.
@@Notthetimeforit - just leave a DISLIKE on the video linked and report it as SPAM...
I agree with you. If that oil pan is not too bad to remove, I'd drop it and clean out the 2" of sludge in it that the motor flush can't touch.
You are my favorite channel on TH-cam, keep up the good work!
I'd forgotten about "2 girls 1 cup". It took many months for that image to finally leave , now its back thanks Hoovie
Love the content! But on another note, I would either get the car professionally cleaned by a company that specializes in drug clean up or replace the carpet and headliner. I had a dodge pickup stolen a while back and while I did recover it, it had meth residue all over the inside. Felt sick just driving it home. Worth the piece of mind to know you’re not getting poisoned.
I don't know why he isn't at least wearing gloves. If he happens to run across some fentanyl, then it might be lights out.
For me, while the truck was still mechanically sound, I ended up parting it out. Didn’t want myself or anyone else to be exposed. It was really a difficult decision as I only had liability on the truck and had to buy a new one out of pocket
Any Gerber collision or caliber collision both offer that service as a regular part of their detail and deliveries for repo and police impound cars etc. just ask
I'm sure the next video will be of him dropping it off at Van Gogh.
Maybe they smuggled also meth in the rear wheel arch..?! 😄
What a gem of a line: "Metheratti." Nicely done.
Tyler is cool man, he really let the ninja whip his car like no problem. A true friend. Usually people wouldn't dare. Kuddos on you T.
Turd bro humour was delightful.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
The proper way is to change the oil and filter, then flush, then change the oil/filter again. I'm assuming the oil filter pressure bypass system was activated long ago.
Yep that filter wasn't doing anything. Been going through bypass for a while and now while all that crap was floating around loosening up. Would have swapped the filter and oil first, put flush in (just use conventional oil for cost) then after the flush change the oil and filter again. Sometimes I think I'm watching amateur hour.
Yes , and the filter should have been removed before the oil was drained ,,not after , because when the filter is removed , some more oil held in the passages flows down to the sump.
Factual post! I was cringing!
Absolutely. Kind of disappointed the wizard did not know or think it mattered to do that.
When buying an upscale vehicle in an area where there's drug proliferation it's a good idea to contact your local law enforcement to see if they will do a courtesy drug detection with a dog. No way you want to get pulled over for a minor infraction and end up in jail when a dog alerts. Better safe than sorry.

Love your vids hoovie. All the way from Sydney Australia!
2014 Prius developed that smell in the trunk... turned out that there was a water leak getting into the car past the taillight gaskets, and accumulating in the spare tire well and the 12v battery compartment on the right rear corner, and it smelled exactly as you describe. Sealed the leak, and flushed/scrubbed everything out, including replacing the sound deadening materials under the spare tire, where most of that chemical reaction seemed to be taking place, and it was all good.
16:22 "That's the longest oil change [interval] I've ever heard of". My aunt and uncle bought a 1983 Volvo 240 Turbo back in the day and NEVER changed the oil. It went 85,000 miles before the engine blew. They got super lucky: Volvo bought the wrecked engine (for not much money) from them when they replaced it because they wanted to see what it would look like.
Did they just not understand the whole "change your oil" thing?
Wowzers. Though I bet there are a lot of cars with blown engines where they cause of failure is just that. For sure there are a lot of shady places/mechanics that dont change the oil, even though they say they have.
@@GoldenCroc you'd find out about that soon enough by just checking the oil level
@@skycaptain95 A lot of people dont care enough about checking or know enough to tell the difference between new and old oil though.
The volume of "oil" (fluid in the oil system) in many cars can stay the same or even increase over time.
@@GoldenCroc One wonders how they get through life.
Hoovie, if this levante came from the tri state area (NY, NJ, CT), you might want to check the door panels as well....
We use that same Teslong device when we inspect the inside of rail cars. Great device.
I'm honestly impressed that the engine is still running after so much neglect.
That Maserati engine deserves alot of respect for been running good with no problems with 50000 miles since the last oil change 😁I don't think BMW or Audi would survive this.
its a chrysler pentastar just tuned up. the pentastar is a very reliable engine and has proven itself time and time again to not be like literally any other engine (aside from maybe the old power tech 4.7) chrysler has ever produced in terms of reliability.
@@TheSavage3.6 It's not just "a tuned up pentastar". The head is entirely different, the fuel injection system is different, the bore is different, etc. They basically take the Chrysler blocks ship them to ferrari and bolt on a bunch of ferrari parts, the block is the only part of the engine coming out of a Chrysler plant.
Having owned a few different luxury cars it is safe to say most would fail under these circumstances. The Maserati does better because it has a large oil capacity, and because the shell helix oil they use is very good oil. The design of the block is solid otherwise Ferrari's engineers never would have used it.
I know of a first generation BMW Z4 owner with now More than 400.000km on it. The car did. not get a oil change for more than 150.000km and is also negleted in all other terms, as he wants to see how it takes until the Engine dies.
The engine is per-turbo though and only the 2.5l with 177(?) HP.
@@shaunbava1801 it's an analogy, obviously it's not just a tuned pentastar.
Well , that engine is made by Ferrari for Maserati , so it was a damn good engine for going that long without an oil change !
That oil looked like the day after every Jaeger night I've ever had. I got a hangover just watching it.
I've always had good luck changing my filter before doing a BG epr flush. That way the filter catches all the gunk that the epr is cleaning out of the engine. Cheap cost to change the filter twice.
One of these passed me yesterday, and even though I don't care about SUV's, Levantes always catch my attention. Me driving a droptop combined with that Levante exhaust note definitely helps noticing it 😂
You should do the full B&G engine flush (multiple stages, multiple oil filters, etc) if you're going to keep that thing.
For sure. The BG Dynamic Restoration is what I would have done too. The results on JR's Camaro were enough to convince me.
i had a 87 chevy cavalier that i drove for almost 75,000 miles without changing the oil - bought it with about 130,000 miles for $600 and sold it with just under 205,000 miles for $400. told the guy i sold it to that it hadn't had an oil change for more than 75,000 miles and recommend he not change the oil. he changed the oil and the engine blew 50 miles later
Old engines might indeed run long without a change and no issues @Jeremy. Newer / turbo engines is a different story.
Just like you shouldn't change trans fluid if you don't change it for a long time.
The stuff of legends...did u add oil though? That's is what my late dad used to do
The wizards laugh is the best, shows his boyish humor with Hoovie.
One of the best car channels. You guys crack(is the term "crack" appropriate for this video?) me up. Being yourself and not overdoing it. Especially the "changing your oil" part :D .
Open the valve covers, would be super interesting to see how bad is it inside.
You need to have it professionally cleaned. If your car really was a metherrotti then there could be traces of hazardous solvents in your vehicle like anhydrous ammonia and different types of acids. DO NOT let your kids ride in that car.. until it has been professionally cleaned..

Hey Tyler, you're spot on with car prices today!!! A year & a half ago I bought a 19 Continental & a couple of weeks ago the dealer that sold it to me called me & offered to buy it back for what I paid for it. When I told him I have put only 5,000 miles on it he offered me more than I paid for it!!! Unbelievable!!!! 👍👍
Yep, my wife was gonna trade her Passat in 2 years ago and they were gonna give her $5K, well 60K MORE miles and 2 years later, they offered us $11k this past weekend...... rick-diculous.....
My wife and I got a 2018 Suburban Premiere with 32,000 miles on it for $50k a couple years ago. Today they are still going for that, but with DOUBLE the miles.
You should change the oil again after a 1000 miles, and do another engine flush, that should get it all clean...
I love how the relationship between y’all had blossomed haha 😂
Great video Tyler! Really enjoyed seeing you with Wizard!

For piece of mind, I would remove as much of the interior as possible (within reason), to make sure there are no additional stash spots.
Ultimately that's going way too far for a non issue. Since he bought the car it shouldn't be an issue but I'm not a law expert so idk
@@Schmuly Obviously not. Even if you bought a car from someone else with drugs in it, or they’re not your drugs, you can and will still be charged with possession if it’s in your car.
Maybe let a K9 take a sniff.
@@ripem1417 Exactly! This happened to a friend of mine, right out of high school. He bought a car at auction and fixed it up. During a stop, the K9 unit got a hit. He was arrested, but not convicted. Thankfully the plant was all rotted and the timeline didn't match with the amount of time that he had the car.
Two years ago I bought a P71 and just six months ago I had to go behind the glove box installing a new head unit and sure enough there was an extremely old pill bottle stashed in the wiring there. I have no idea what the stuff was in the homemade capsules but strange that it was a detectives car, so who would have stashed it in that location. Long story but, hell yes would recommend doing this.
I love the BG products I usually drain the oil leave the old filter and put 2 cans of BG engine restorer a quart of trans fluid and the rest of the capacity is filled with lightweight oil and it really helps
Then of course due the proper oil change after it runs for 20-30 mins
Funniest Hoovie/Wizard video yet. Keep it coming.
60k miles between oil changes and it still ran? Holy crap, maybe those Maserati V6's are better than anyone thought.
"Maserati"... Fiat group engines have always been pretty good generally, as far as I know.
It's the rest of the car that's the problem.
I think this car is the successor to the Russian Bentley Continental 🤣🤣🤣
wizard laughing at hoovie suggesting the sludgey oil went to the turbos reminds me of me talking to my good buddy who is also my mechanic 🤣... I feel you hoovie
If the Levente engine holds up after no oil changes for so long... I guess they must be pretty tough engines.
When I was in grad school at a big SEC university many years ago I worked for the university and got to drive state owned vehicles. But first I had to take a safety class and they covered the need to make sure you scheduled the state owned vehicles for regular services. The instructor told us about one truck he saw with no oil changes for 60,000 miles. He said when the oil was finally drained it was “lumpy.”
Always wondered what these are like, Hoovie delivered
METHARATI !! 😂😂 That’s thenickname 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Tyler, keep up the great videos man.
I do not know why but it is endless fun for me to see that trim panel flopping around whenever you sit in this (formerly) expensive car :)
I'd still recommend doing another flush after like 100 miles and then an oil change in like 1000.
After the BG flush don't you need to do another oil change in fairly short order to make sure you get all the remaining build up out?
Probably after like 500 miles or something
It takes the oil time to dissolve/dislodge things. This helps prevent the oil passages from getting blocked instantly. As long as none of the oil ports/screens are not plugged in, it should be fine for the amount of driving Tyler apparently does.
BG is really Top notch stuff!.I worked at a automotive dealership in California and BG products was all they used like the fuel injection cleaner, oil additive and pretty much whatever they made.
A quick cleaner for upholstery etc. is almond extract (real not imitation) and hot water. This was shared to me by a professional cleaner and it does work. One bottle to a bucket of hot water then a rinse with clear water.
Ferrari & Chrysler : a marriage of inconvenience.
One of the three big rental car companies did a test with a group of several thousand cars in the 1980s. They took new cars and never changed the oil or filter. They topped up the oil, as necessary. They did recommended manufacturer's maintenance otherwise. Then they compared the repair frequency against cars that got the oil changed per manufacturer's recommended interval, etc. What they found was that there was no real difference in the two groups, in the first 100K miles. After that in the second 100K there was a whole bunch of difference.
Every time I've seen the BG Flush, they run a rinse oil in it after the flush. Kinda surprised that Wizard didn't do that?
I haven’t giggled so much throughout an entire video in a long time
Ahh yes, the great "2 girls, one cup" family sketch show, loved that
8:50 Never seen Wizard move so fast! 😂
Sweet baby Jesus, this Levante wasn’t just neglected, it was abused!
EDIT: 12:32 and speaking as a Walmart Auto Care Center lube technician, I’d have to agree 100% that serviceablity on cars built in the last decade have taken a SIGNIFICANT nosedive, and the worst offender happens to be Ford of all manufacturers!
Ford GM and Chrysler products...
Which Ferd is best Ferd?
@@cigarsgunsandgasoline8032 I’ve seen newer Nissans with a ford style solid skid plate that you have to undo numerous fasteners just to expose the drain plug and oil filter; and at least Dodge/Stellantis gives you maintenance cutouts in the skid plate like in the Cherokee and the Dart.
That is Fix Or Repair Daily for ya ;)
To be fair most modern Ford engines crap out after about 50,000 miles anyway, so there's no point in making them serviceable. I swear whoever designed the Ranger's engine to grenade if an oil change takes longer than 10 minutes to complete has a warped sense of humor.
19:48 Stylish Italiano shifting -- Ferrari sounds so good!
Terrific, and funny! I love these videos.
I'm thinking you should have put a new filter in prior to the flush. Also it would probably be a good idea to do this flush twice. JRGarage just had a video about a month ago doing a very advanced sludge removal procedure using the same company but he used different stuff and did multiple flushes.
I like how you have the balls to tell a trained mechanic what to do.
@@Uniongamersmy guy just speaking out his opinion. touch grass bigman.
I very much doubt they would change the oil and flush it without changing the filter.
the bigger kit from bg recommends new filter and drain all existing oil. run it on cleaner for 45 minutes. dump that, new filter, rinse oil for 25 min. dump that, new filter again and regular oil with MOA from bg.
I would have swapped the filter first for sure. And probably dumped the old oil and filled with conventional and a new filter just for the flush, then another change after and again at 500 miles.
Hoovie... your face at the 65000 mile service interim was absolutely priceless 🤣🤣 So naturally goofy, entertaining and hilarious!
I was looking forward to that teslong after video. it would have really showed how good that engine flush truly was
Two girls, One cup LMAO. I love the banter between you and the Wizard.
I would absolutely tear apart every inch of that interior to make sure there isn't anything else "left behind". It would suck to get stopped and have a K9 signal for something and the LEO's find it.
Seems it would have been better to drain and change filter prior to the flush then change again. That dirty filter certainly restricted oil to various components/bearings.
My brother had a 1997 Merc tracer from new . Just added oil . I changed it at 110,000 miles . That car ran perfect . Crazy !
I use Moldex and the premixed 1 gallon "In-Cide disinfectant" from Menards.
I spray them directly to the fabric\metal\harnesses and let it soak few mins. Shampoo the seats after some presoak. Repaint the metal on seats.
I gut the headliner, carpet and padding, entire metal of the car gets sprayed, sets for 10 min then gets wiped out, 2 treatments at minimal.
Ducts get sprayed with a long modified hose that sprays backwards and then snaked with duct cleaner wire tool, also air and vac is used to suck chemical\crud from drilled hole in lower heat box.
I can do that headliner for 250 bucks. Located in MN.
Tyler: We're so innocent we didn't know what that smell meant.
Also Tyler: dropping two girl 1 cup references
🤣
lol yiiip
lol
it could just be no one ever reset the oil light after they changed it. Also, I would drive it for 100-200 miles and then do a flush and new oil/filter again, just to be safe. That $100-$200 is cheaper than major engine repair.
Agreed on both points.
Based on the dirtiness of the oil and the fact that it is one owner and it was reset at all, combined with the fact that if you were a drug runner, you wouldn't want to risk bringing it to a shop and they discover the drug smell
A CRACKing purchase, Hoovie.
Great to see Ninja again!!
Since I am forever 12 inside, you and Wizard kill me with the "ate Mexican" jokes. Truly insane: no oil changes for 60K miles. No oil war here; just personal experience. I have been using LiquiMoly in my BMW for several years now. I am very pleased with it how it has kept my 3 running good and quiet.
Its not the brand as much as it is the "model" of oil generally, is my understanding. Brands have a wide catalogue of oils.
