My 15 Sonata 2.0T started to burn oil @ 110k. Did a B12 piston soak for 48hrs, adding more each 6-8 hours, turned crank nut 5 CW @ each B12 addition. Cranked engine without plugs to remove excess with towel over plug holes. Drained oil, top off oil, drove for an hour, drained super nasty oil again. Changed oil/filter. Hasn't consumed any oil now in 1 month so far was 1/2qt weekly.
You may need to check the hydraulic level on your lift, it sounds like it's starving of fluid at a certain point, I noticed it last time you used that lift, but it didn't sound so bad
it sounds super unhappy with life
The mechanic’s lift is the last thing to get serviced. Usually after it breaks.
AND/OR had air in the system. Put lift below the first set of locks, crack open the bleed valve on the other side of the pump till flows without air, close, check the fluid level, top, bring back to below first locks, crack open bleed valve on the pump side.
@@justpray365 like their vehicles
Imagine how many hours that lift has on it. I know they are not cheap to replace. When I first worked on cars, we used pits.
Ray
I’m not sure what it is but you put a smile on my face when I start listening to and watching your videos. I think it is your cheery nature and your enthusiastic approach to quite daunting issues. You just get on with things and chat away in an upbeat manner.
I have a 2012 hyundai i40 with the “Nu” 2.0 GDI engine that just hit 400K km, or around 250k miles, and it doesn’t burn a single drop of oil. I regularly floor it to try to avoid carbon buildup, but overall I haven’t had any major issues with it since it was new. I have changed the oil and filter every 4,000 miles since new. Maybe I’m just lucky, but it seems like most of the issues people have with these engines is caused by neglect.
I have received good results with the BG EPR. This is the first time I have received any change using a snake oil product. I was never one to try these things but after seeing some of these BG products used by Ray and Rich, I felt it was worth a try. The biggest surprise was having the smoke on startup go away on my 2003 Camry. It had been smoking on cold start for 15 years.
Try Wynns next, blows BG out of the water.
It would be a good idea to do a compression test before you do the clean and rinse treatment and then again after. If compression goes up, it means it worked as you described.
compression won't change if those rings seal fine
@@TheGuruStud Then you don't need to clean carbon buildup.*
@@him89 Yes you do. The oil ring dont make compression. Its only the two compressionring that dos.
You can 100% compression with stock oil rings.
I had a Volvo V70 2.4 with perfect compression but it burnt oil like crasy… It had stock oil rings. Often seen on this year Volvo.
@@cinq1368 carbon cleaning is usually for valves isn't it? Rings are usually just wore aren't they?
@@him89Not necessarily, it is very common for the compression rings to be in perfect condition and the oil scraper rings to be not.
After all that cleaner i would drive it for a week or two then change the oil again so you get rid of the remaining cleaner in the system that would be diluting the oil and making it thinner and therefore less lubricating
Glad I am not the only one around that puts those oil caps back on with the numbers and letters lined up that way! haha
After I get service on my car, it's first thing I do when get home....
I don't always watch oil change videos but when I do, you can bet Ray is involved 😂 Noice brake cleaner can toss with a bell😅
Yeah, Ray! Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, ring, Ring that bell!!!!
I use to do power purges into fuel rail.that stuff works .it blow a brown cloud of smoke for miles and the increase in performance especially in high mile cars was amazing
Ray what would be cool is to use your camera to take a before and after picture of the piston through spark plug to see if actually did something to prove it works. I know it time consuming but it be a cool to see.
Numerous other people on TH-cam already have. Go search.
I have seen some do engine mist intake cleaning on di engines and before and after show very little effect on older engines with a lot of carbon buildup. Ray can call me team hater all day long.
@@Hemshemsemsif used as part of a maintenance schedule, induction cleaning is a good thing… but you have to do it every 20-30k miles.
At 120k, you’ll have to do it repetitively… and even then most of the deposits are baked on.
Plus potential catalytic converter and engine damage.
Best thing to do at that point is media blasting… which on an engine like this is probably not worth it.
BG and induction services in general aren’t snake oils, but they’re not miracles either. It’s all how you use them.
@@buttsexandbananapeels I know I build race motors so understand the process very well. Carbon doesn’t just come off with chemicals when hardened on for many miles.
I joined your team, with his video skill, it can be done easily on at least 1 cylinder, be is afraid of losing BG sales bonus?@@Hemshemsems
I have done the BG Engine treatment on six engines so far ... all I can say is ... WOW ... amazing results! Seriously. What a great discovery!
Given that second solution went in clear and came out dark it certainly did some cleaning. Be interested to see if it helped with oil consumption. Please keep us updated
Love the video. Are used to work at Kia and we were plagued with these issues as well. One recommendation to help this issue would be to replace the PCV valve as well. I am looking forward to seeing the update on the oil burning issue.
We had one come into the shop and the customer complaint was FIXED with a pcv valve change, was truly surprised by that!
Own several Hyundai/KIA vehicles with GDI engines. I change PCV valves every 20K miles and run fuel treatment/injector cleaner in gas every 3k miles plus keep a close eye on oil consumption. Have seen a notable reduction in oil consumption.
Great job Ray but, these people are correct. Changing the PCV on theses vehicles usually fixes the problem.
Ya PCV valve super simple
To clarify, my stance on this isn’t just as easy as swapping the PCV valve. From my experience carbon buildup on the top of the pistons due to the GDI set up, which will not be fixed by just replacing the PCV valve. Running the fuel injector cleaner will not get the carbon buildup that is on the intake valves due to the GDI set up, which is why completing the induction service is very important.
As always, very much appreciated video. Prior to oil service, engine sounded like a bag of nails at idle . After service now sounds like a well
Lubricated, slightly quieter, bag of nails 😊 stay well safe
That clear fluid in step 2 is it tinted ATF fluid? This look like the old school way to free up oil rings, combustion chamber cleaner step one, drain oil step 2, fill up with ATF drive vehicle in low gear for 20mins, drain ATF step 3, fill up with clean oil step4, give customer oil consumption form to check back at shop at 100mile, 200mile, 300mile to check level on dipstick
BG are snake oil salesman lol….oil school way dead cost is $50 in oil ATC and filter, BG kit is over $50?
Nice lol
the hard clad carbon build up on back of valves, even soaking in BG will not remove, no profit markup in ATF.@@aaronkoivu
I never see it on the internet but when I remove my oil plug I break it loose then use an electric ratchet with an extension. The plug stays in the socket and never an issue with hot oil. Especially useful when one has to slide under the vehicle.
BG is the real deal. I’m a Automotive tech of 21 years and come across all kinds of products. BG truly works. Our shop offers many of their products.
Love the videos, Ray, and the occasional back and forth with Eric O. I'd like a follow-up on the treatment. Did it stop the smoking? Has the oil consumption gone down? Inquiring minds want to know.
he said after a 1000 miles he will check to see if the flush works
Unlikely, this is what Hyundai and Kia would have done instead of paying to swap engines
See those 2 BG products (a gallon each) that Ray used? They do work. Those are actually Volkswagen recommended way of de-gunking their GDI engines. But being Ray, he put in additional cleaning to intake valves which I never knew how to. Search "Deutsche Auto Parts" channel with the title "Can you Fix an Engine Burning Oil for $20". There, he walked thru using same cleaners, cut down consumption by about half
@@curtisj2165 Actually, swapping is done only when the engine is not save-able. Eventually, it will be junked due to those engine's being defective but cleaning like this will prolong that eventuality
@@zaiks0105 too late for that
Ray you are not only a fine, honest mechanic but your explanations are so concise and easy to understand for we laymen. Oh, and your command of the English language and articulation is superb
The BG stuff works really good. There is always a risk involved, but have seen this procedure save many engines from being carboned up/oil consumption. Another fine video!
what is the risk of performing this procedure?
If it's for cleaning up carbon and or light sludge, you're for the most part safe, but if you don't take care of your engine and have lots of sludge or massive amounts of carbon, the particles can clog up the oil passages. This is based on what I have seen, so it's not set in stone .
@@DoktorHalloween
Thanks for the explanation.
@@patrickgoodwin3085
The risk is you didnt use the original product Wynns.
Ray, how could you?!?!? Out of all the service procedure protocols that you performed on this vehicular unit, you forgot the MIST important one... THE BLUE WATER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE!!! All kidding aside this was pretty awesome to watch.🙏💜
You're a good teacher Ray, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge
As soon as you said what was going to transpire in this video, i have to admit i got very excited to see how it would all turn out! This really is right up my street! I love cleaning things. Excellent work, as ever! 👍👍
Back in the day we'd drizzle water into the carb or vac line while engine hot at elevated rpms until it almost stalled, sometimes ATF. A quart of kero in the oil, then take it out and run it at 50-60 in 2nd for a few miles. Some interesting smoke out the back. Fresh oil and filter and it was good to go.
I remember those days using water. Worked quite well.
We have a power steamer that works pretty well and reduces the probability of accidentally hyrdrolocking anything. Steam is great on GDI valves.
I had a couple neighbors that used BG products , one sold the Product and one was a retired mechanic, and the mechanic said it works, the one neighbor also used it in his airplane
I just bought one of these in January, and within a week the motor choked on its own bearings. 2013 Limited, with the 2.4l Theta motor thing with the recall. Turns out the recall to "fix" it wasn't performed, even though records stated it was, and I was able to prove it. Hyundai replaced the motor with a brand new long block for free. Pretty respectable considering I am the second owner, and the warranty doesn't transfer to second (and future) owners. Also the 10 years on factory warranty had just expired. So, really impressed.
You were able to prove it? By what means
Hyundai did me right to. I was 10,000 miles over warranty and the water pump went bad. They covered it for free and threw in a new overdue timing belt..
I was prepared to pay and did not argue. They did it on their own..
it does transfer. the warranty stays with the car. im 3rd owner
@kpkangaroo3745 The remaining 5/60 Warranty is what transfers over to 2nd + owners. 10/100 only applies to the first owner. Been there done that on multiple Hyundais. Thus why I buy Maxcare warranties on all of them.
However part of the lawsuit settlement Hyundai/Kia made was the extension of the warranty on the 2.4 engines-regardless of how many owners have had it-as long as the “knock software recall” has been preformed before it dies.
@robtongue Almost sounds like Hyundai was trying to wiggle out of replacing the engine in it. Took our 16 Sonata 2.4 to have the knock sensor recall performed a couple of weeks after it initially came out. Fast forward to 5/21 it finally 💩 the bed at 109k. First they came back wanting oil change receipts-“looks dirty inside”. Do all of my own changes with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum W/Hyundai Filters every 3,500 miles. Couple of days later got a call from the dealer saying “oh you didn’t get the recall/update preformed-so they are denying the claim-mind you it’s the same dealer that performed the “recall”. Kindly reminded the service advisor THEY supposedly did it-and I had the paperwork to prove it. 3.5 months later they FINALLY got the new engine installed. After talking with the service manager-and him showing me the 20+ Hyundai/Kia vehicles on the lot awaiting new engines-that it was just Hyundai/Kia doing anything & everything they could to replace as few engines as possible-since the short blocks are covered for life due to the lawsuit settlement. Following day we dumped it for a new Camry-and haven’t looked back.
So we had the same misdiagnosis with a hyundai, after replacing the rubber coupler, we removed the expensive steering shaft. And a lot of hyundai and Kia engines burn oil and the dealer will replace the engine free of charge. We've had so many people complain about the oil level being low that after some investigating, we found hyundai/Kia has a class action lawsuit because of the engines burning excessive oil.
@ripsrt6822...Yes, there were some Hyundai and Kia motors that qualified for a free motor replacement but for only a few model years. if you have a suspect Hyundai or Kia, you would need to verify if your particular car & model year were under the replacement claim.
I just recently bought a used 2014 Hyundai Tucson for my Granddaughter's first car and this is when I first learned of the not-so-dependable GDI motors. I was very limited with how much money to spend and here in a rural area, there were not many used cars under $4000.00. The Tucson has a lifter clatter that sounds a lot like what this sonata sounds like, and I assumed the lifter just needed adjusting, so I bought it. But I learned that the lifters are not adjustable. It had 155,000 miles and I knew that that was getting towards the lifetime for the 2.0 motor. I needed the car to just last a couple of years....hope...hope....and then the financial situation would be a lot better to do something else for my Granddaughter: a newer and more dependable car.
But....just last week, someone slammed into my Granddaughter and broke the left front wheel assembly and according to the insurance person, most likely totaled the car. So much for my Granddaughter's first car.
@marbleman52 woah, hope your granddaughter is ok... sorry about the car.
Just about every hyundai/kia with the 2.4 that has come in my shop, whether consuming too much oil to completely locked up engines with no oil, have gotten lucky and had the engines replaced by the dealer.
I write on the engine cover "engine no good"
@@ripsrt6822 ...My Granddaughter is okay, bruised and sore, but okay. She was leaving the school parking lot, had her seatbelt on, had looked both ways real good...she is a good driver...had barely entered the road when this woman suddenly was there in a blink of an eye. The speed limit is clearly posted for 25mph but to hit her so hard that both car's airbags activated and broke the wheel that she must have been going at least 35. But of course, the woman swears that she was not going over the speed limit...right..!!
This 2014 Tucson was a real gem....except for the lifter clatter and high mileage. The interior was brand new looking almost showroom new. I put all new tires, new brake pads all around, new plugs. She only had it since June this Summer...real bummer. She is...was... working two part time jobs and had to have transportation. She graduates a year early this coming Spring. Her mom is taking medical classes and is not always available to take Granddaughter to her jobs. One of the jobs is only a mile away so she walked there many times before I got this car to her. She and her mom are trying to work out a schedule to where her mom will be able to take her to the 2nd job which is too far away to walk or ride a bicycle. She may have to let this 2nd job go.
But we will persevere and somehow find her another used car that will be dependable and in our limited budget.

I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. For the steering wheel inserts, by the buttons, where the paint is rubbed off. You can get cheep replacements and they just pop out and pop in with a trim tool. No need to take the steering wheel apart or get another one. Part numbers 56171 3S100YDA & 56172 3S100YDA. In regards to the engine. Mine has been running fine. But, I make sure I get the oil changed every few months. Only real issue with the car was a transmission sensor reading high temps. Took to a transmission shop and they replaced that.
EVERY FEW MONTHS ?
How many miles, roughly ?
THANKS.
Ray great video as always. That engine definitely had a ton of carbon in it but that underside of the cap and the dipstick were way nice and shinier. Remember to have yourself a fantastic day 👍.
I could see that air box hanging out all loose like! My OCD was killing sooo glad I seen u close her up 😂😂😂😎✌️
Some of the oil burning issues on Hyundai is caused by build in rocker cover. A workshop local to me has an ultrasonic cleaner large enough to put them in, and it cures almost all of them.
You're saying clogged PVC system?
My daughter had one of them smokers, a little brake clean in the PCV valve worked wonders.@@TheBandit7613
Basically, but it was build up behind baffles causing issue.
Good to see the flexi drain plug tool. After seeing it on your channel over a year ago, I bought one. Works great🤗
This was a crafty way to make an oil change video more interesting😅
Liked the way you laid out the tools. Easy to see what you where going to use. The procedure sounded very medical.
I worked at a hyundai dealer in Australia. Dont know if it is the same engine but these were so bad in Australia hyundai had a recall on the engine about 5 years ago. A 15 year old plus engine was getting replaced brand new under warranty. Cant remember the reason but basically came down to excessive oil consumption causing premature wear due to bad design i think.... either way the Australian consumers got new engines for free on a 15+ year old car
You have way more consumer protection laws than we do in the US. Here, Hyundai/Kia abandoned their customers and let them make payments on broken junk.
BG is amazing. I bought a 97 rav4 and It had a vandalized exhaust and it was running rough. I replaced many things on it and flushed every system with BG and it brought it back to life. It's my daily now and runs like a champ.
Back in the 1970's at a Ford dealer we used to sell a lot of engine oil flushes and it ruined most all of the engines. We learned not do them on our own cars !
Good stuff good stuff. I'm playing catch up.
Most likely that is 'vapor' not smoke. Vapor being the gaseous state of some liquid vs. Smoke being the output of something combusting. I'm guessing that vapor is one of the volatile chemicals used to clean out the crankcase.
Nice presentation at the beginning, Ray.👍🏻
I remember watching your videos when you were at the dealership. I remember your video when you quit and packed up your toolbox and left. It gave me anxiety! 😂 But I'm glad everything has worked out for you. I know leaving a steady job was a big risk. I miss the doodle-doo's though😂
Others have said it, but it might be time to check the hydraulic fluid on that lift. It sounded dry.
If you used a funnel when pouring the cleaning solutions into the engine, you wouldn't spill all over. When removing it, put a folded paper towel or shop rag under the spout to catch the drips. Same with your oil funnel. This saves clean up time, and you don't have to spray brake cleaner all over.
Yes, Ray is a messy man. The man does not believe in funnels.
DIY Dave needs to see this, he’s done a series of videos about trying to stop his Corolla burning oil, and he’s got Florida connections
And he is almost to the end of his treatment rope for his Corolla.
With these engines, yellow dipstick is the original engine, orange dipstick is the recall for the knock sensors and wiring harness has been done, red dipstick is the engine has been replaced. This engine had the first campaign completed and still has the original misdesigned internal componenets. While I believe in the process you're completing it's not likely to help this engine as it's physically damaging itself internally due to it's design. I wouldn't hestiate to complete this service with an engine that has a red dipstick. Forgot to mention, because they've had the first campaign done they are entitled to an engine replacement at no cost.
Wow they are even color coded to let you know how bad they are . Thanks that was a cool way to know what your looking at.

I remember when you could open up a JC Whitney catalog and order the "Engine rebuild" kit which included pellets you dropped directly into the cylinders. As cars became more complicated, it was harder to remove the spark plugs so I guess they decided to simply turn it all into liquid form!lol!
honesty will show endoscopy image of before and after, not BG sponsor but big discount for him.

Look up Bernie’s ATS 505 chemical engine cleaner It’s specifically for cleaning carbon out of engines takes about 20 minutes you poured in the old oil that’s in the car run it for 20 minutes dump it out with the old oil and add new oil. You’ll see clumps of carbon coming out. It really does work. Even stops engine start up rattle. That happens in VVTI engines. And VW GDI engines. Any engine with carbon build up cleans out in minutes and u can see the clumps pour out
Good morning Mr Ray and everyone watching this video, I pray that everyone has a great day,
What I've found out about those engine cleaning procedures to reduce oil usage/burning, having tried several... they usually work for a reasonably short time, oil burning will be reduced for about 5k to if you're lucky 8k and than it will be burning oil like before. They never really deep clean, they take away some of the surface stuff, but the really hard stuff that has been build up over the years and miles will remain... and it will soon build up like before.
MAKES SENSE TO ME, JUST A BAD DESIGN.
Had a sonata that burned oil crazy. Did a piston soak followed by 20 mile aggressive driving with b-12 chemtool. No more oil burn. Engine still good. I agree, it's not too late until you try everything
"with b-12 chemtool" What's that and how do you use it? Is that what your poured onto your pistons ?
@@oldcynic6964 if you look up "diy Dave b-12" you'll find a dude who did it. I just copied him. B-12 is an injector cleaner, so it's not even being used as prescribed, just warning you.

Great idea by BG to supply a funnel with the can!!Kudos!!!!!!!
It would have been nice to use the camera down the spark plug hole to look at the cylinder head before and after.
You can often reduced oil consumption on Hyundai/Kia engines, but they will usually fail sometime later.
I was today years old when I learned GDI doesn't stand for God Damn Imports 😂
I could have sworn the engine was quieter after all the cleaning. I know it's via the microphone you use, and sometimes that's not the same as in person. But if it was, maybe the gas treatment helped the injectors quiet down and the engine cleaning helped the lifters be more quiet. I hope this regimen of cleaning does the intended goal of freeing up the oil rings, etc. It would be nice to hear a follow-up on this down the road. Interesting video on a problem which might be plaguing many of these GDI engines. Thanks, Ray!
Oil consumption is not always from rings. The PCV system can be horribly over engineered. You frequently need to put in an oil catch can on many of these engines so that it quits sucking oil through the intake. That way you can at least on occasion return the oil to the crankcase.
You are correct. And the GDI engines have issues with carbon buildup and oil sludge. Failing the PCV valve. And causing it to eat oil faster than you can put it in it
Yup just ask Chevy with their built-in PCV on the cover....
I cleaned and vented my pcv to atmosphere. Don't suck thru the catch can. Keep oil in the engine.
I did the BG can also.
I found that a quart of Kerosene done better.
Have a friend who has one of those vehicles and she just adds oil when the light on the dash comes on. No smoke comes out of the tailpipe but you take off the oil cap and smoke comes out.
Now you're committed to doing a follow-up video on the snake oil Hyundai. Please don't forget. Offer the customer an oil service discount if you have to.
Well if the snake oil does break down the carbon…
Good video as always 35:51 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Well, Raymond. I live just west of Wichita Kansas and would drive by the BG factory on my way to work. I have never owned a car with GDI but have used BG products on every oil change. BG makes really top-rated products in my estimation.
Oh, a fellow Wichitan. The Downtown exit is almost close enough to touch their building.😃
I’ve filmed at their facilities for a commercial, both Wichita and El Dorado. The entire operation is impressive, but the research shop and dyno are particularly cool. It feels like you’re in an F1 garage with everything being incredibly clean and organized.
Love that drain plug flexi gadget.
I was wondering the cost so I looked it up. Amazon has everything Ray used for 337.39 plus labor so I’m guessing 500.00-600.00 bucks. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I hope it works cause that’s a lot of money in my world
Still cheaper than an engine.
@@Dave-in-MDthese engines have a lifetime warranty on the short block now because they’re crap. So don’t spend money on carbon cleaning if you already have excessive buildup because you’ll probably be needing an engine replacement soon anyways. Every dealership near me is booking six months out because they have to do so many.
I wish I had a mechanic like you when my car needs service.
Ray please keep us posted on the results of this experiment.
I was always told those gdi Hyundai engines burn oil because the gdi injectors dilute the oil and doesn't allow enough lubrication between rings and cylinder walls and causes scoring of the walls. Once the scoring starts the oil burning begins and there is nothing to do to fix the problem other than replacing the engine. So I'm curious to see what your experiment does.
That's not a Hyundai specific thing, nor why they burn oil. Low compression piston rings and GDI dilute the oil, but, that's common on any GDI engine. It's why MPFI + GDI is a thing now.
Saturn's used to burn oil at 150k because they didn't steel sleeve the block this is probably the same case
I have a 2018 Hyundai Elentra GL. my car started burning oil, so much so that every time I stopped to fill on fuel I checked the engine oil and it was always down 300ml or so. eventually the dealer put a new engine into my car (I was one of the lucky ones). There are class action lawsuits in USA, Canada and Australia over these engines running out of oil and seizing. These engines are known for failing prematurely.
HAPPY FOR YA, SIR.
You did get lucky, DAMN CAR MANUFACTURERS.
That hoist sounds like an overhaul is needed.

Hi. The gas tank cap is supposed to go on the holder arms attached to the back of the gas tank cover lid. This is to avoid scratching the paint job. Good videos.
Ray, when the customer returns in 1,000-2,000 miles, could you pop a plug and check the amount of carbon build-up, or lack thereof, in a combustion chamber? That would make an interesting quickie follow-up video. 👍

Ray you might want to look into buying a lisle 19612 oil funnel set. It might take the fun out of pouring things, but more will go in than on.
I Agree, never liked to spill oil on a Engine as it creates a Dust Magnet...
He does it to trigger people to comment. Every comment shows TH-cam and advertisers viewer engagement and interaction and he is paid more.
It is called a shtick.
Like Scotty's irrelevant titles, it draws in the moths to the flame.
Which doesn't change the fact of high talent level.
Seems people need a fix as much as Ray's Subject Sonata et al.
Hell, I'm here killing time!
It's like DIY Dave except exceptionally wordy.
Nothing fixes damaged engineering.
😂😂 this filter is hot hot hot Like a Toyota 😂 miss them Old Commercials Ray 27:04 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Too much spillage. Need to use a funnel that would save your break fluid obsession..
I'm watching this now and hope you have better luck than I did. I have done this to my engine and while it did drastically improve performance and reduce oil consumption, I now have two massive oil leaks caused by doing this that are costing me hundreds to have fixed. I understand the leaks were probably already there, but not leaking because of the sludge, but I was not prepared to have my car down for 3 weeks while waiting for a shop to get to it. I would be hesitant to do this on an older engine with high mileage
Ray, from everything I can tell, you are a good mechanic and an honest man. If you believe in a product, I know it's because you've done the research and believe the benefits outweigh the risks. Tell the trolls they can pound sand.
Been watch your videos for awhile now, learning a lot 1st time posting
That's one loud sewing machine. I get it. That what it is. If my chevy 350 sounded like that I would cringe.
I'm a big fan of honest mechanics. I'm also a big fan of a very cool family so I guess I'm just a big fan.
Okay well what did that procedure cost?
I enjoyed this video, hopefully the owner is happy
I would like to see a before and after compression test.
I would recommend using the intake manifold vacuum hose for the combustion cleaning
You could bottle the old engine oil and sell it for fence oil preservative as the oil protects wood from rotting , thought someone might want to know some good knowledge from the uk as i use it myself.
poor man's creosote?
Back in the day...(1960's) in US, they used to spray used motor oil on dirt roads to keep the dust down.
I am pouring some concrete curbing at my new house, I have been using used motor oil on the forms as a release compound. It works great and the price is definitely right.
Years ago I had a neighbor that decided to do that on their side of the fence. It soaked through to my newly painted side and made it look like crap. I was not pleased about this at all.
@@jilbertb many of our dirt roads here in ns were still oil soaked in the 80's. might be it just didn't wear off and was really old.
@@felderup logical to use and no waste , and lasts longer.
Outstanding video Ray!!
You gotta be carefully if your gonna use your engine cleaner on those engines, them knock sensors are sensitive and could set off an CEL. I had that done on my 14 sonata to clear carbon and few months later the CEL came on and put the engine in limp mode
What did you do about it? Get it fixed or…?
How is that even related 2 months later?
Ray, honest mechanic, will pay for the sensor.
the knock sensor is external to the engine. How would you think putting a chemical inside the engine would affect a piezo-electric crystal bolted to the outside?
Thank God I don't have those GDI engines. I have 3 Chevy OBS's with vortec engines. I use techron and it works great.
Kia makes the Hyundai's engines? At the front of the car it was a Hyundai sonata, at the back of the car it was a Kia and mentioned all of the kia issues so i am confused.
Kia's parent company is Hyundai. Much shared engineering teams.
@@sabamacx Well Hyundai, acquired, Kia in the late 90's but Kia had more reliability issues than Hyundai, so i am surprised they would use their engines.
I’ve come across one year old kia/hyundai vehicle’s that burned accesses oil. Lucky for him they put a new engine under warranty. But your not lying about these and burning oil.
I'm not a mechanic and I've never used that cleaner but I know it's a bad idea to use it because reasons.... I know stuff so I must be right.
Big Daddy, I didn't know dat!!
@@thomasmleahy6218 glad I could help. These youtubers should Always listen to the experts in the comments, but they rarely do.
I used both BG and Wynns.both worked great
I wonder if he’s got any pixie dust and and incense ……..that engine is destined to fail.
Bad JuJu?
Back in the day we used to put in about a quart & a half of motor oil & 4 quarts of diesel fuel to clean the engine.
Snake oil. Don't waste money folks.
Waste of time and money.
All those poor snakes
The Hyundai’s/Kia’s that had a non-faulty engine - those things can take some insane abuse. I had one for 5 years (a 2013 Sonata with the 2.4 Theta II GDI). And even with all the copious recalls on those 6th Gen Sonatas, I loved mine, but I’ve also started seeing tons of them pop up in that 175k-250k mile range; still running strong.
