Thank you for all these videos, they are a great resource. Im getting the same car as you in 5 weeks :)
Glad they are helpful, great to hear...
I did this job in my Fiat Palio 1996, petrol engine with 100.000 km. I used STP Flush instead. But exactly like this video: added STP Flush inside the engine with the old oil, 20 min running, replacing the oil for a cheap one with new filter, again 30 min running and then, refil with the better oil. It was incredible, even after 2.000 km the oil was clear!
That's why I love petrol engines, oil in diesel engines gets black right away
@@arcgarage yes! I used to live in Brazil, where cars have only gasoline and ethanol engines. If you use ethanol, then you can run more than 5.000 km and the oil still looks clear! Now I am in Europe and I bought a diesel car. God dammed! You change oil and, 100 km after, it seems that the oil has 20.000 km!
is this Alfa 166?@@arcgarage
I use a piece of cardboard to direct the oil draining away from the subframe into my waste oil basin. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting
Great tip, thanks
You better clean this engine/subframe mount quickly. Oil is highly destructive for all rubber elements. And those mounts are not cheap and easily available, trust me. Regards from Poland!
Hi, I already did, but thanks for the heads up...
Such a great video ! I love your phase 1 166. Used to drive a 2 litre V6 tb
Thank you very much, great car isn't it
@@arcgarage Spectacular car. Especially with the sport throttle response, the sound was miraculous and the car itself, a proper sport berlina. Mine was blue/black with grey leather interior. I truly love n/a busso, but the turbo charged V6 was a diamond. I also prefer the front of the phase 1.
@@GTakos89 That sport mode is something, love the turbocharged busso
Thanks for the demo. One question though, could I use a 10W-40 (Total 7000) semi synthetic oil for just flushing the engine that normally uses a fully synthetic 5W-30 (Total Ineo ECS)? I have a 5l semi synthetic in my garage that I once wrongly bought. I drive a 2008 Citroen C5 2.0 HDI, 100kW.
I don't think there should be any issues
Great job with these videos - these are very valuable. I hope you get more views as it's without question many people can really use the tips you show.
One question: do you think it would be risky to do this flush on a Multiair engine? I mean, it seems clean oil passages would be very useful for the system, but a flush could also cause issues maybe. What's your take on that? Thanks.
No brasil e quente...prefiro oleo mineral 20 50...de marca conhecida..trocando com 4 mil...usando etanol..motor limpo..🇧🇷
Hello, I want to do this on my AR 156 2.0 TS. And I just want to ask you, the cheaper oil for drain has to be same viscosity like the new? For example I use to drive with 10w60 so the cheaper drain oil has to be also 10w60?
Planning on doing a double flush like what you've just shown. With the cheap oil is it a good idea to rev up the engine for 10-15mins or just let it idle? Also is there a reason why you don't rev engine when using engine flush? Even if it's only 1.5 or 2 rpm? Wouldn't it help the flush get into deeper parts of the engine if its rev up a little bit?
I followed the instructions, and I let the car idle. However, when I put the cheap oil in I did rev it up a bit
the engine flush makes the oil more watery, its recommended to only let it idle because the oil does not provide enough protection. With cheaper oil and without the engine flush its ok to rev the engine up a bit, or take it to a drive
I have a Alfa 147 1.6v TS engine. How much of Liquid Moly should I use?
Don't remember the exact number, you got it in directions
Great info well demonstrated.
Glad it was helpful
Nice job!
Thanks
Should I do a engine flush on Giulietta 1.6 JTDM?
I've been changing the oil regularly on 10.000km.
I always do it when I buy a car, just in case, but if you are taking care of it meticulously, there is no need
@@arcgarage Thanks.
@ No problem
Can i use 10W-60 on 1.6 twinspark because the engine consumes a lot of 10W-40 ...
Yes, 10W60 is a good oil for ts engines
If you were to run the engine again and drain some from the sump, you'd see it's still dirty, better, but still dirty. But not enough to warrent two flushes.
True, but this does rinse of any residue cleaner and oil
What do you think about cleaning the oiltub?
In most cases, it is not necessary
What oil do you suggest for AR 147 1.9 JTD 115HP? Should I also do the same with some cheap synthetic oil (no matter what type?) before ?
yes, 5w40 or 10w40, you got two options. Also cheap oil should be same viscosity
Selenia wr for me its the best, a little less noise and smooth idle on a jtd too
Just a suggestion clean the old oil off the motor mount oil will destroy the rubber over time. what a shitty location for the filter.
Hahahaha, agree, did that right after
eyy I put elf like 2 weeks ago in the 156
Not a bad oil...
Mighty Busoooooo
Best engine ever
watching the oil go all over the place due to the design makes me think i wouldnt want to do this on my car if i owned it haha
Hahaha, it is messy, however, if you don't open the fill cap, the pressure won't be as strong
Bosanatz?
