Last year I used both cro oil and cro fuel treatment and they both worked great. My oil wasn't really dirty on the dipstick but it had been six months since the last change. I was running motorcraft 5w-20 blend from dealer oil service and wanted to try penzoil ultra platinum 5w-30. The engine had 120k miles on it and never had this type of product used on it before. I followed the directions exactly. Ran the engine at high idle, about 1500 - 2000 rpm for 10 minutes and then took a short drive. Interestingly, I noticed that as I was parked and maintaining the high idle I needed to back off of the throttle after a few minutes because the rpm would raise as if the engine was running more freely. I let the engine cool down a little and drained the oil, came out like thick black molasses and I felt a fine black grit when rubbing the spent oil between my fingertips. I changed the oil and the truck ran great and felt more responsive on the throttle and as a bonus the coyote tick settled down a little too. My oil consumption problem improved dramatically as well. Going to perform another treatment next month to prepare for winter months here in NY.
It's nice to see a vehicle from our neck of the woods...aka Snow country. Watching Ray's videos is fun but I shake my head every time we get under a car he's working on. But that's okay, he keeps getting mosquitoes biting his ankles. LOL Rich, with all the intense stuff you do with oil and oil additives, I'd listen to you and follow your advice X10 versus Scotty.

@@reloadnorth7722 YA SO SOME GENIUSES CAME UP WITH THIS HEHEH AND LETS DUMP IT IN AND WOW SMELLS LIKE CANCER OUT MY TAILPIPE. OK THEN LET US DRAIN THE ALREADY BLACK OIL OUT AND WOW LOOK IT IS BLACK SO WE KNOW IT DID STUFF!

Scotty did test this. He added the additive and ran for 15 minutes at 2000 RPMS. He then drained the oil and it looked grainy and dark. Personally, after draining, I'd have poured a quart of clean oil through the engine to get the rest of that out, but Scotty just replaced the filter and oil.
I used this treatment last march 2022 to my wife's Honda Accord 2.4 GDI engine with 160000 miles. It was using a quart of oil about ever 1000 miles and getting worst. Added the stuff in the fuel gas tank also, cleaned the throttle body, mass flow sensor, added a catch can. The only thing I did different was after the 15 min. wash time I shut it off and didn't restart it until the next morning. Brought it up to temp and then drained the oil and filter. It ran rough at first but cleared up after a while, took it out on the hwy for a 20 mile run at different speeds. It uses about a half quart of oil now per oil change, about 7000 miles. It did use some oil right away but soon stop using oil after 2 weeks. Seem to have a very good luck with it, no problem with a clean engine now. Yes I would use this again! Thank you for doing oil test on the Valvoline High Mileage! Made a believer out of me!
@ I just recently used it on my truck and it boosted my mileage from 390-420 on a full tank of gas. I also had. My tires rotated and filled which helps as well. So it does help with cleaning the fuel injectors and engine.
I used the ATS505 CRO, & it worked.! I first made sure that the engine & oil was very hot after a long drive.! I did not turn the engine off, & poured in the ATF505 CRO.! I let the car run for about 20 minutes at about 3000 rpm consistently, with a weight on the gas pedal, then i let it idle for another two or three minutes, then shut the engine down.! When i removed the oil filter, the o/ring was coated with carbon, which i had not observed prior, in earlier oil changes, & the oil was jet black.! I must add, that i change oil every four months, but saw a definite variance after using the ARS505CRO oil treatment.! I also used the ATF505 CRO gas treatment.!

Dear Rich, You mentioned that you sprayed brake cleaner on top of the lifters. Three quick questions: 1) Did you use non-chlorinated brake cleaner? 2) Is it possible that any run-off of the brake cleaner had an adverse reaction to the chemical properties of the 505 CRO? 3) What things would do differently to optimize an engine flush next time? Excellent Video. 🏆 Many thanks. 🤗
I have a 04 5.3 in an avalanche which had developed a lifter noise, it was pretty bad although it wasn't missing except for the occasional misfire the error code reported. I used 505 and am thrilled that it stop the the noise and seems to run quite well. I also use Valvoline high mileage Synthetic oil which has seal conditioner in it I believe.
I been using valvoline in a farm truck I have in Mexico. Its a 2005 f150 4x4 5.4 3 valve. I live here in the States , I buy valvoline 5 30 synthetic high mileage with a motorcraft oil filter 820s. And I send it threw DHL gets there in 3 days. We have not had a issue with the truck engine. And we do the oil change every 4 thousand miles. I know I could go more but its not a big deal. Valvoline has worked for us and I wouldn’t trust anything else. I ship the oil and filter because over there just to go to autozone is like 2 hours away. Thats why I just buy it here and ship it to my ranch in Mexico. But yeah man. Valvoline all the way
Your opinion on 505 CRO is biased and misguided for the following reasons, in my opinion: 1. S.Kilmer is objective and does not take money for product reviews; 2. The pitch of S.Kilmer’s voice shows he knows when hydrocarbon chemistry works and when it doesn’t. 3. The frequency of S.Kilmer’s voice also creates shockwaves in the specific range that breaks down carbon deposits, cocked injectors, internal corrosion and loosens stuck bolts. 4. S.Kilmer can see at least 900 feet beyond the future.
What does the zinc do for the engine? I put that valvoline sythetic blend HM 5w30 in my suv and I was impressed with how well that oil seems to make the car run compared to the generic oil type from the service station I use to take it to. I will continue to put that in my car.
I just learned about putting a quart of ATF in with the oil 100 miles before an oil change. This got rid of the morning sticking liter tick. Maybe doing this before every oil change might make a slow impact. Going to switch to Valvoline Restore & Protect moving forward. Thanks for the video with impact and experience. All I hear is that 505 CRO works right away. I’m guessing it needs to be used multiple times in some cases. Sounds like it smells bad. PASS! 02 Chevy Silverado 5.3 Z71 285K
That answered my question about what oil you were going to run in the truck..Good choice. I like that you tell the undistilled truth in what chemicals actually work. The CRC passes the BS tests but not yours. Not at all suprising :) Thank you :)
Another thing to remember, people will use clorinated cleaners to clean oil stains on driveways because it removes the oil but also bleaches the stains that cannot be removed. Its been reported that oil and filters are darker alot sooner after using this oil flush.
I stumbled upon your channel. Great info. Like the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point approach. Appreciate it. Do you suggest doing a treatment with t bg epr and moa to a new engine after the first 5k or so miles to keep it running clean for a long time?

What is your opinion on Rislone High Mileage engine treatment? I have heard really good things about their product keeping internal engine parts clean especially piston rings. I'm not sure if you have done a video on it or not. My dad highly recommended me use it because he uses it at every oil change on his 1999 Chevy Blazer and never had an oil leak nor oil consumption of any kind and he has over 400,000 miles on it.
I used 505 in my 3.2 L V6 Benz engine and after the treatment upon inspection I discovered 2 additional cylinders, with a resultant displacement increase up to 6.3 L... Then I woke up and closed the browser in my computer which was playing S.Kilmer on repeat.
Cannot disagree. There's gotta be a light/dark color change from the drained oil charge (or a before/after view of the exposed valvetrain) to determine if there's been any active cleaning action.
I lean towards the idea that this doesn’t do much at all. But the Crf 505 “f” is a fuel system cleaner. I’d bet that’s what the guy used and then checked the carbon deposits. Which again I don’t think there would have been much change
You're behind Mr Flat Rock You are very very behind this is one of the most controversial topics that I talked about and I think you need to tune in a little bit more because it's already been spoke about transmission fluid does not work like they say it does it is not a good cleaner at all it does not work with today's newer oils and engines that is a wives tale in today's vehicles with oils
@@FordBossMe sometimes hard to throw out old ideas. Seems new additives don't necessarily work either. Keeping with regular oil changes prevents problems.
I wonder if you realize that ATS has a treatment kit? One part is for oil and the other for fuel. So, the fuel treatment certainly can get to the top of the piston and treat the inner cylinder space.
5:42 see all the Carbon flakes on that filter.. It comes out small look on the filter, and Oil running off it.. You can feel small Carbon Flakes. I think it looked that way because it was clean oil with it.. IDK My oil is always black, I have a small Turbo lol. But I am open to using other stuff.. I have DI injection and need something for the valves that works.. Don't know many shops that media Blast Nissan Jukes, No matter the money..
Well that's part of why you have to trust oil to do its job there's plenty of oil in that engine on everything and it doesn't just mysteriously disappear
Question, how does this compare to ye olde "dump a little MMO in my oil and let er run?" I did that a few oil changes back and my engine is NOT coked up but I did notice it removed some of the varnish from the rockers which was nice to see. Call me an old fart but I feel like most of these "treatments" (not all) are a way to make people feel better about stretching their oil-change cycles instead of just doing it right.
@@FordBossMe that I noticed. I have only done it once but I really did notice a change in the oil & the parts I could see through the oil cap. I run it every 2nd to 3rd tank of fuel with no issues too.
The guy didn't follow the instructions... He had to run the engine in high idle rpm but instead left it in normal idle. It's like putting enough toothpaste on the toothbrush but brushing only the gums.. He read without comprehending
Was going to ask what you'd recommend for us guys still rocking engines with flat tappet cams and lifters, but not sure I want to since you said that Valvoline has a ton of zink in it.
Another great video rich the truck sounds great rich i just bounce 06 ford explorer 4,0 engine with 75 k original miles original owner used 5w 30 synthetic blend do you think i should switch to valvoline full synthetic thanks my brother
I used it in my Toyota , guy be4 owned it never changed the oil I was hoping to get up in the Low tension bottom oil ring springs , lube the springs some of the carbon build up , when I changed the oil after running it through , ton of carbon powder came out , was in the pan , def cleaned , just hope it loosened the springs in the bottom oil ring on piston , BURNING a little over half QT every 3500 miles , blow by , hope not to late to condition the oil ring on the piston , 2007 Corolla , good ol loose low tension oil rings for Emission crap, not like good ol days pressing those rings on the pistons ... What treatment do u recommend ?
@@kdaltex I don't know I don't really recommend it a car has not been running correctly ever since I've used it I pretty much replaced everything on the vehicle I give up tired of chasing problems so it didn't correct the problem time to get a new vehicle
Ever seen the inside of a diesel engine that had a small injection pump leak into the crankcase? They are usually very clean… go figure, diesel is a solvent, carbon is tough to dissolve but can be done, it takes time and several treatments. I prefer diesel with zink additives ran for 1000 miles or ATF for 250 miles when oil change is due.
Yeah but here's the thing I've already done the diesel test on a severely sledged up engine and the transmission fluid and it barely touched it almost not at all so I'll have to pass on using diesel to clean stuff
You think following the exact instructions would make a difference? Run at high idle for 10 minutes,-not drive for 10 minutes or run at idle for 15 minutes.
Scott Kilmer video he reved the engine to 3 thousand rpm for 15 minutes and during that time the engine started reving higher and he adjusted the rpms back to 3 thousand and it started going back up indicating that it is working. I believe the chemicals burning and being toxic is how it cleans the carbon in the manifold. I love your videos please keep it up.
I ran both CRO 505 oil and fuel treatments through 2 Hondas one with 135K 14' CR-V and another 07' Civic Si 273K. It was my understanding that the vehicle wasn't supposed to be driven in use. In both cars I ran engine RPM for 3500 RPM for 25 min. On the existing engine oil and replaced filter and oil. I think I noticed a difference? The Honda CR-V engine seems a little smoother. Then again the carbon buildup shouldn't be too bad in either engine as the oil is changed pretty regularly with both cars around 5K.In the CR-V I use Mobile 1 and in my 07 Civic Si I've been using Valvoline Max life high mileage 5w/30 synthetic blend since 100K and now at 273.5K. Great oil.
I mean it's not really cleaning things from on top of the Piston so I don't understand how a compression test would really be the definitive answer and it's such a small clean to begin with if a compression test changed anything it would be very miniscule but you are right it could affect it
Do you know of any, Over the counter products that help with DI Valve cleaning?? Besides having to tear the motor apart and hand clean it with picks and stuff like that ??? I have Tried STP Pro Series, spraying timed Can, But that stuff barely works if at all.. So if you know of something that can be sprayed into a vacuum line going to the valve runner or something like that, That will help keep up my valves clean let me know???
When did you start using a Scotty Kilmer promoted product? Lol. Great video! Would you suggest me using it on my Lincoln as preventative maintenance? Or mmo in my oil as preventative maintenance?
Can you do a video about running different viscosity oil. If you haven’t already, for example my book says 0w20 USA and Canada, everywhere else 5/30 or 0w30 or 10w30. So what if I’m in Texas someone across the border is ok to run those but I’m not ? Is it regulatory or is there a actual reason, it does say to use the 5k OCI though if running those vs 7500… 5k is USA and Canadas severe service. Just wondering because I was considering running 5w30 what’s your advice should I just run the oil cap and stop overthinking it. 5w20 maybe ?
Thanks for the real world testing. I can't really afford to put in new oil... and then try additives to just change it right away again. If you find an additive you think WORKS... then I can do the use and change oil once. Got an 89 Dodge 3.9L 143k.. so I'm just trying to keep the engine going as well as I can......Good vid!
Okay so you're kind of in the wrong position to be assuming right because that's not what happened here I put new oil in the vehicle and then the vehicle sat because it had problems and I had to fix it and then I had it towed to my new shop and then I continued fixing it so I was kind of forced to do so so I know you're not insinuating directly but you kind of are in a non-passive way that I have the ability to do so with new fresh oil and I don't so I don't appreciate that I had to work with what I had and this is it this is how I get you guys testing and I don't want you to make me feel bad because you can't afford something that I can't afford to do so you using your situation to make me feel bad giving your experience that's not relevant to the video I have an issue with
@@FordBossMe yikes.. didn't mean to infer THAT.. sorry. I just know all that oil testing you do and show us the lab readouts costs $$$ and that means I get the benefits of the results without spending my cash. So I get more informed from your work. Very much appreciated. NO GUILT. Heck, that's why I donate to the channel when I can. Well worth it. I never did well in composition.
@@Kafka451 I was EASILY able to afford oil, BG EPR, and BG MOA. My biggest issue is I can’t get my oil drain plug out. I was willing to try this 505 stuff based on Rich’s experience, but it looks like I might be sticking with the BG products. Oil and additives are cheap and engines are not.
So question for you is there any benefit using the lucas pure synthetic oil stabilizer with amsoil? If the vehicle has no leaks or anything just using it for any benefit.
Well, right away, I could tell WHY it didn't work... YOU did NOT use it proper way AT ALL!!! First of all, you MUST rev it to AT LEAST 2000rpm, for 2 reasons; first, increases oil pressure SIGNIFICANTLY, making sure oil is being pumped to every corner of that engine at high pressure, like a pressure washer. Second, revving at high rpm will get the engine and oil pretty HOT, melting all the dirty stuck in the engine, making it even easy for the high oil pressure to remove all the dirt! Also, using new motor oil like you did, ensures it does NOT do it's purpose... new oil = high viscosity = proper lubrication, therefore, keeps the product from working properly! You may wanna try it again when it is actually time for an oil change, and make sure to REV IT; GET THE ENGINE HOT🔥🔥🔥
Are you slow? I drove the vehicle around with it in there and ran it longer than the time it said Do better, I don't have time to baby sit people and correct what they are saying
Rich, i rememeber those BG engine cleans you did with that NV and also your truck. How stunning the difference was after the bg. I remember you pullin the rocker covers and show how much varnish has gone. And then when you cut filter open. It was filth from a$$hole to breafast time. And oil was just black an nasty. Cream colour what? Surely we would see something in the oil. Be blessed bro.
This smelt just like Mystery Oil. Made the oil look weird and did nothing to clean it. Next time I will squirt some Colgate toothpaste into the oil. That would clean it better and smell just as minty.
@@FordBossMe nobody is cheating you my guy. I'm just saving anyone who stumbled across your video 10 minutes of their life to get them the opinion. If people enjoy the rest they will watch it, if they aren't into it they'll be scrolling the comments looking for your opinion via people's thoughts and they will appreciate the quick link to you opinion.

Yeah just the plain old diesel flush that doesn't work I've already talked about that on this channel I have already used the motor flush with diesel and kerosene with today's newer oils and engines that diesel flush doesn't work just flat out doesn't work
Not snake oil. I asked a snake expert, who denied this being in any shape or form related to snakes. Snakes themselves provided an unofficial opinion denouncing any allegations that they may be associated with this bs.
What do you mean guys, i had used this treatment couple years back after watching Kilmers and since then i stopped buying gas for my car anymore. My car runs with air only but smooth as butter guys.
It would work great if it had maybe 2 gallons worth of product but I don’t think that there’s enough chemicals in that little bottle to mix it with several quarts of oil and actually expected to do anything over hyped up product that Scotty Kilmer got all the credit for

3) What things would do differently to optimize an engine flush next time?

I'm not sure if you have done a video on it or not. My dad highly recommended me use it because he uses it at every oil change on his 1999 Chevy Blazer and never had an oil leak nor oil consumption of any kind and he has over 400,000 miles on it.
Good question
Hey Boss, could you please test LiquiMoly Pro Line Engine Flush? Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks!
I have a Chevy cruze in the library I tried it on and I don't like it that much
@@FordBossMe thanks boss!
I thought it was chemically similar to EPR, except being 5 times weaker in efficacy.
Curious as to how this CR0 505 works compared to the original Marvel Mystery Oil 1QT Treatment or Rislone 1QT oil Treatment
I used 505 in my 3.2 L V6 Benz engine and after the treatment upon inspection I discovered 2 additional cylinders, with a resultant displacement increase up to 6.3 L...
Then I woke up and closed the browser in my computer which was playing S.Kilmer on repeat.
@@linvesel 😆
Cannot disagree. There's gotta be a light/dark color change from the drained oil charge (or a before/after view of the exposed valvetrain) to determine if there's been any active cleaning action.
that stuffs expensive too lol, EPR is definitely going to do a better job for much cheaper
I lean towards the idea that this doesn’t do much at all.
But the Crf 505 “f” is a fuel system cleaner. I’d bet that’s what the guy used and then checked the carbon deposits.
Which again I don’t think there would have been much change
Decades ago we just put a quart of transmission fluid in with the oil. Never tested to see if it worked. Why not try it??
You're behind Mr Flat Rock You are very very behind this is one of the most controversial topics that I talked about and I think you need to tune in a little bit more because it's already been spoke about transmission fluid does not work like they say it does it is not a good cleaner at all it does not work with today's newer oils and engines that is a wives tale in today's vehicles with oils
@@FordBossMe sometimes hard to throw out old ideas. Seems new additives don't necessarily work either. Keeping with regular oil changes prevents problems.
I wonder if you realize that ATS has a treatment kit? One part is for oil and the other for fuel. So, the fuel treatment certainly can get to the top of the piston and treat the inner cylinder space.
For a car with 85,000 miles, currently using Valvoline Advanced, you think high mileage may be a little better?
Yes it will
@@FordBossMe alrighty my man thank you
5:42 see all the Carbon flakes on that filter.. It comes out small look on the filter, and Oil running off it.. You can feel small Carbon Flakes. I think it looked that way because it was clean oil with it.. IDK My oil is always black, I have a small Turbo lol. But I am open to using other stuff.. I have DI injection and need something for the valves that works.. Don't know many shops that media Blast Nissan Jukes, No matter the money..
Yeah I'm good man I did it how I see fit this is how I run the channel if people don't like it they can move on
@@FordBossMe Don't be so uptight.. Just saying it worked for me, Maybe that EGR will work better for me.. IDK..
@@FordBossMe I love this reply... LMAO.. I have moved on since then..
Morning boss. Did you ever do any videos on the engine flush for your F150?
Nice truck, Rich and thanks for the review ,very informative.👍👍👍
BG EPR is the Best. BG products are all Great.
Could you please suggest where you share the results?
The first time I tries the oil treatment on my prius the engine ran smoother and has more power.
Man, that 7 seconds of zero oil pressure on start up was the longest 7 seconds ever!
Well that's part of why you have to trust oil to do its job there's plenty of oil in that engine on everything and it doesn't just mysteriously disappear
Question, how does this compare to ye olde "dump a little MMO in my oil and let er run?" I did that a few oil changes back and my engine is NOT coked up but I did notice it removed some of the varnish from the rockers which was nice to see. Call me an old fart but I feel like most of these "treatments" (not all) are a way to make people feel better about stretching their oil-change cycles instead of just doing it right.
Marvel Mystery Oil really does work long term
@@FordBossMe that I noticed. I have only done it once but I really did notice a change in the oil & the parts I could see through the oil cap. I run it every 2nd to 3rd tank of fuel with no issues too.
when did you do the BG dynamic engine flush? as I recall you did dynamic engine clean on this truck in the past
Got to look in the library on the channel I've done the BG restoration kit and the small can both
If you can smell it in the engine compartment it might keep the rats from eating your wiring ?
The guy didn't follow the instructions... He had to run the engine in high idle rpm but instead left it in normal idle. It's like putting enough toothpaste on the toothbrush but brushing only the gums..
He read without comprehending
Engine sounds really good!!
Very interesting video -- Thanks! 👍
What treatment do u think will get up in the bottom low tension oil ring and loosen it up some , clean the oil from the springs ? Thanks !!
Berryman B12 PISTON SOAK Study first on various sites including TH-cam
Was going to ask what you'd recommend for us guys still rocking engines with flat tappet cams and lifters, but not sure I want to since you said that Valvoline has a ton of zink in it.
Amsoil Zrod oil has a lot. ZDDP
Did you run the engine at a high rpm, 1800 to 2000?
Yes
What stuff do you say that works? I couldn't understand what you recommended.
It's called BG EPR AND MOA
@@FordBossMe Wow you are fast!
I personally would switch to a fl1a filter on that truck or a similar size like a wix/Napa 51515/1515
That's what I normally run on it
Another great video rich the truck sounds great rich i just bounce 06 ford explorer 4,0 engine with 75 k original miles original owner used 5w 30 synthetic blend do you think i should switch to valvoline full synthetic thanks my brother
I used it in my Toyota , guy be4 owned it never changed the oil I was hoping to get up in the Low tension bottom oil ring springs , lube the springs some of the carbon build up , when I changed the oil after running it through , ton of carbon powder came out , was in the pan , def cleaned , just hope it loosened the springs in the bottom oil ring on piston , BURNING a little over half QT every 3500 miles , blow by , hope not to late to condition the oil ring on the piston , 2007 Corolla , good ol loose low tension oil rings for Emission crap, not like good ol days pressing those rings on the pistons ... What treatment do u recommend ?
Wanting to do the same with my tundra. Exhaust smells line oil. Did it fix your issue? Also look at the PCV valve. I replaced mine.
@@kdaltex I don't know I don't really recommend it a car has not been running correctly ever since I've used it I pretty much replaced everything on the vehicle I give up tired of chasing problems so it didn't correct the problem time to get a new vehicle
Ever seen the inside of a diesel engine that had a small injection pump leak into the crankcase? They are usually very clean… go figure, diesel is a solvent, carbon is tough to dissolve but can be done, it takes time and several treatments. I prefer diesel with zink additives ran for 1000 miles or ATF for 250 miles when oil change is due.
Yeah but here's the thing I've already done the diesel test on a severely sledged up engine and the transmission fluid and it barely touched it almost not at all so I'll have to pass on using diesel to clean stuff
excellent video!!
You think following the exact instructions would make a difference? Run at high idle for 10 minutes,-not drive for 10 minutes or run at idle for 15 minutes.
Yes follow the instructions. Its for good reason. Driving it or running it longer will either damage the seals on the engine and not enhance the clean
Where is best place to hook up a kill switch on my towncar? Would the fuel safety switch work to hook up to?
Yeah that'll work
@@FordBossMe is there a better place or fuel safety switch the best place?
@@stormyyoung6344I've never put a kill switch in these things so I don't know what to tell you honestly
@@FordBossMe ok thanks a
I put a switch on my battery negative
Scott Kilmer video he reved the engine to 3 thousand rpm for 15 minutes and during that time the engine started reving higher and he adjusted the rpms back to 3 thousand and it started going back up indicating that it is working. I believe the chemicals burning and being toxic is how it cleans the carbon in the manifold. I love your videos please keep it up.
Did you run at at high idle 1500-2000 rpm?
Yes and I even drove the vehicle
I ran both CRO 505 oil and fuel treatments through 2 Hondas one with 135K 14' CR-V and another 07' Civic Si 273K. It was my understanding that the vehicle wasn't supposed to be driven in use. In both cars I ran engine RPM for 3500 RPM for 25 min. On the existing engine oil and replaced filter and oil. I think I noticed a difference? The Honda CR-V engine seems a little smoother. Then again the carbon buildup shouldn't be too bad in either engine as the oil is changed pretty regularly with both cars around 5K.In the CR-V I use Mobile 1 and in my 07 Civic Si I've been using Valvoline Max life high mileage 5w/30 synthetic blend since 100K and now at 273.5K. Great oil.
It seems to me that a compression test would be the only measurably way of seeing if it works
I mean it's not really cleaning things from on top of the Piston so I don't understand how a compression test would really be the definitive answer and it's such a small clean to begin with if a compression test changed anything it would be very miniscule but you are right it could affect it
Do you know of any, Over the counter products that help with DI Valve cleaning?? Besides having to tear the motor apart and hand clean it with picks and stuff like that ??? I have Tried STP Pro Series, spraying timed Can, But that stuff barely works if at all.. So if you know of something that can be sprayed into a vacuum line going to the valve runner or something like that, That will help keep up my valves clean let me know???
STP Pro series, CRC GDI intake/ valve cleaner
When did you start using a Scotty Kilmer promoted product? Lol.
Great video! Would you suggest me using it on my Lincoln as preventative maintenance? Or mmo in my oil as preventative maintenance?
Kilmer is a wacky wavey flailing arm snake oil salesman lol
He didn't see it as a good cleaner based on his experience.
Just wants to share that the only chemical that work so far are the BG products
Can you do a video about running different viscosity oil. If you haven’t already, for example my book says 0w20 USA and Canada, everywhere else 5/30 or 0w30 or 10w30. So what if I’m in Texas someone across the border is ok to run those but I’m not ? Is it regulatory or is there a actual reason, it does say to use the 5k OCI though if running those vs 7500… 5k is USA and Canadas severe service. Just wondering because I was considering running 5w30 what’s your advice should I just run the oil cap and stop overthinking it. 5w20 maybe ?
I responded with a video
Liquid moly engine flush works. Just buy some cheap oil and run it to flush the moly out
Thanks for the real world testing. I can't really afford to put in new oil... and then try additives to just change it right away again. If you find an additive you think WORKS... then I can do the use and change oil once. Got an 89 Dodge 3.9L 143k.. so I'm just trying to keep the engine going as well as I can......Good vid!
Okay so you're kind of in the wrong position to be assuming right because that's not what happened here I put new oil in the vehicle and then the vehicle sat because it had problems and I had to fix it and then I had it towed to my new shop and then I continued fixing it so I was kind of forced to do so so I know you're not insinuating directly but you kind of are in a non-passive way that I have the ability to do so with new fresh oil and I don't so I don't appreciate that I had to work with what I had and this is it this is how I get you guys testing and I don't want you to make me feel bad because you can't afford something that I can't afford to do so you using your situation to make me feel bad giving your experience that's not relevant to the video I have an issue with
@@FordBossMe yikes.. didn't mean to infer THAT.. sorry. I just know all that oil testing you do and show us the lab readouts costs $$$ and that means I get the benefits of the results without spending my cash. So I get more informed from your work. Very much appreciated. NO GUILT. Heck, that's why I donate to the channel when I can. Well worth it. I never did well in composition.
@@Kafka451 I was EASILY able to afford oil, BG EPR, and BG MOA. My biggest issue is I can’t get my oil drain plug out. I was willing to try this 505 stuff based on Rich’s experience, but it looks like I might be sticking with the BG products. Oil and additives are cheap and engines are not.
Can i use if my car is at 70K Miles.
Yes
I like BG epr and BG Moa and BG 44k Better
where did you buy the 505 from?
From their website
So question for you is there any benefit using the lucas pure synthetic oil stabilizer with amsoil? If the vehicle has no leaks or anything just using it for any benefit.
No it actually takes away from the oils ad pack because it has no additives in it
Well, right away, I could tell WHY it didn't work... YOU did NOT use it proper way AT ALL!!!
First of all, you MUST rev it to AT LEAST 2000rpm, for 2 reasons; first, increases oil pressure SIGNIFICANTLY, making sure oil is being pumped to every corner of that engine at high pressure, like a pressure washer. Second, revving at high rpm will get the engine and oil pretty HOT, melting all the dirty stuck in the engine, making it even easy for the high oil pressure to remove all the dirt!
Also, using new motor oil like you did, ensures it does NOT do it's purpose... new oil = high viscosity = proper lubrication, therefore, keeps the product from working properly!
You may wanna try it again when it is actually time for an oil change, and make sure to REV IT; GET THE ENGINE HOT🔥🔥🔥
Are you slow? I drove the vehicle around with it in there and ran it longer than the time it said
Do better, I don't have time to baby sit people and correct what they are saying
Stop talking.
What's high idel?
Has to run at 2000 rpm for 15 min
Rich, i rememeber those BG engine cleans you did with that NV and also your truck. How stunning the difference was after the bg. I remember you pullin the rocker covers and show how much varnish has gone. And then when you cut filter open. It was filth from a$$hole to breafast time. And oil was just black an nasty.
Cream colour what? Surely we would see something in the oil.
Be blessed bro.
I just ordered four cans of BG Epr
Sweeet! That stuffs the sh1t man.👍🙂
This smelt just like Mystery Oil. Made the oil look weird and did nothing to clean it. Next time I will squirt some Colgate toothpaste into the oil. That would clean it better and smell just as minty.
Dthe instructions say run it at high rpms…idling for 15 minutes is not the same.
Better off with a quart of trans fluid mixed with the oil.
Hpl makes an engine cleaner that I know works.
They don't f around with their products.
Bg is the best
Send me the link for the hpl
Looks like you did run it for ten minutes at high idle like the instructions said to do. Instead you ran it at a low idle,
10 minutes at 2000 RPM
Your truck engine must have been clean the first place.

try yamaha ring free alternative
I'd trust bg engine flush or MMO or just plain old diesel flush for 10 minutes
Yeah just the plain old diesel flush that doesn't work I've already talked about that on this channel I have already used the motor flush with diesel and kerosene with today's newer oils and engines that diesel flush doesn't work just flat out doesn't work

What happened to the fender above the left front wheel ?
I have no idea what you're talking about
@@FordBossMethe round part above the drivers side wheel fender looked cracked
You didn’t follow the instructions you’re supposed to run it on 2000 rpm for 10 minutes high speed and then change the oil and filter
Scotty used the fuel treatment, not the oil inthe video we seen.
He used the oil treatment on that golf 5 gti
Today secret number is 16! 😂
16?

Boss, that was in regards to the wrench size you need? 🥴
Tune Up in a Can? Snake Oil to me. Just change your oil every 3 months 3 000 miles.
Pine tree 🌲 oil 🪔🛢️
high idle!
MOTOR MEDIC ?????
so this is snake oil.
Not snake oil. I asked a snake expert, who denied this being in any shape or form related to snakes. Snakes themselves provided an unofficial opinion denouncing any allegations that they may be associated with this bs.
What do you mean guys, i had used this treatment couple years back after watching Kilmers and since then i stopped buying gas for my car anymore. My car runs with air only but smooth as butter guys.
I am not a happy camper.
It would work great if it had maybe 2 gallons worth of product but I don’t think that there’s enough chemicals in that little bottle to mix it with several quarts of oil and actually expected to do anything over hyped up product that Scotty Kilmer got all the credit for
