- Does liqui moly engine flush remove sludge form an engine or is it just snake oil?
I also try to clean the valve cover in this video.
Here is part 2 where I use Liqui Moly oil sludge remover plus oven cleaner to clean the valve cover: • Can Liqui Moly SLUDGE ...
All part of vanlife is maintaining your vehicles and I always maintain my vehicles myself. My old man is a mechanic of 40 years and he's has passed on all his mechanic knowledge to me... Sort of haha.
I've also been doing a lot of research via project farm, Scotty Kilmer, Chris fix RUclips channels amongst other things.
So, can you clean oil sludge out of and engine just using an oil additive... Let's find out!

My old man is a mechanic by trade too. He always takes the extra time to look at other things that may or may not cause problems down the track. Always worth remembering to do this. Thanks for sharing.
Driving a lot of short trip where the engine doesn't get the oil hot can also cause sludge to build up. Enjoying your videos
Correct. Gotta warm it up. Especially with modern engines and all the emissions garbage
👋 from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺.
A man of many talents is Gaz.
Even Fendy wanted in on the action.
That Engine was disgusting. My Dad died 24 years ago, but he was an Engineer & a Motor Mechanic. My Dad had to retire early because of his health. But he started a business from home as a mechanic. He then was able to work when he was able. He also worked as a consultant for the police & for insurance companies, looking over cars etc after car accidents. I grew up around cars & engines. Us kids even helped him put the second story on our house. We were never put in any danger. But I was always more like my Dad. I'm a woman & I can change tyres, spark plugs & air filters. And check & fill all the different liquids that go in a car. I can't drive a manual car anymore, as I'm in a wheelchair & have to drive with hand controls.
How very odd I was literally looking at this product this morning and seeing weather or not it works on youtube😂 all American reviews so I'm glad you have decided to do it! 👍🏻
Hope this helps
@@GrizzlyGazhiya gaz, I've got a toyota 3 lyrics turbo diesel reguis, great to drive , but its a import so have to wait for parts from toyota ,when I cannot get them from euro parts , just a message to let you know about euro parts they are very reasonable dont want to use the word cheap , may see you out and about as I camp about a bit in it , and live in lancashire, love to fendy and you and your family, take care it does look better your engine😊
A man of many talents 😂 well done Gaz x
I make sure my oil is changed every 6000 miles especially here in South Texas where we have mostly 100 plus days in the summer.
You'd be much better to use a flushing oil. Comma make one.
Run your engine up to temp, drop the oil and fill it back up with nice clean flushing oil. Run it for the specified time and drop it out. You'll notice that it's darker and dirtier than the old oil.
Flushing oil definitely removes a lot more crap from the engine than an oil additive. No matter how good it is.
When you do your new oil and filter, add ZX1 to the oil. You'll be glad you did.
Looks better mate after the flushes. Personally, I wouldn’t have bothered if it was running well. I’ve had all Japanese motors for a long time now mainly Suzuki and Subaru. Ridiculously reliable motors and they actually manufacture them to be badly maintained. The difference is that Euro manufacturers make engines that they expect you to maintain really well. I had an Impreza that I bought with 50k miles on it and repped in it doing on average 200 miles a day. Sold it with 194k on it. It had a couple of oil changes and a new filter every now and then when I could be bothered. I just topped it up with Castrol Edge every now and then. Bullet proof Japanese engines if you use a good quality oil.
It was so clogged it was even taking oik
@@James-kl4dz Top up via the dipstick tube 😂😂
@@smokeandkippers Jesus that's the worst story I've heard
@@Avito_yt If you say so 🙄
The after looks way better then the before good job Gaz!!
Very interesting. With the cost of vehicles these days being able to keep them running longer is a plus.
Looooving this video! My camping car is a 2004 Subaru Forester. She's a wee ripper! I'm always keen to learn more about engine maintenance. Thankyou 🤩
Yeah 3s and 5s(successor) are known sludge mobiles. Youll wanna keep oil changes more frequent than normal for longevity, otherwsie their known to be very durable and relaible engines
It looked cleaner to me Gaz great job man
Good job gaz, I think the liquid molly did clean it up a bit, that sludge stuff should hopefully will clean it up a bit more, but don't clean it up too much because you could get leaky seals. Oh by the way can I bring our car round to do the oil change the car lift is great 😂 enjoyed watching this and looking forward to the sludge remover nice to see what you get up to, but I do enjoy the camping too x
Honestly, as a woman…I wondered if this “would” be interesting? And it really “WAS” also kind of a learning experience! And that handsome face helps keeps me paying attention 😊 be blessed Gaz❣️🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m a bloke and I love Gaz 😂
I thought I'd be bored watching a video about a car engine, but this was really interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing the sludge(less?) results in the next one. Good job Gaz! 😊
You want to change the oil filter again now Gaz. If any crap came off the internals of the engine they will be in there. That's a nice looking lift you have.
I changed it with each oil change 👍
I miss your camping trips I hope they come back!
I still make camping vids 🤷🏼♂️
@@GrizzlyGaz yes I've been looking to see if your out there camping. We miss you
@@misty5979 I uploaded last week
@@GrizzlyGaz going to watch now
She's barely broke in mate! 👍👍 Time well spent.
Hi Gaz you did a great job on your motor it was very interesting to watch your a man of Many skills 😊
Loved this video Gaz, your a man of many talents. Can’t wait for the next one. Your engine looked a bit cleaner ❤
1/2 quart on trans fluid in with the next three oil changes will clean it up nicely.
I have used atf, in the past, drained the engine oil, put atf in & let it tick over for 15 minutes. Then drop the oil, and put engine oil in, plus new filter
Hi Gaz, I loved watching this I spent alot of time with my step and learnt alot with motors. I didn't think it made alot of difference with the oil changes. Time will tell, with another go. Can't wait for xxx
Ahh Twin cam . looks like she is running a good mixture ( carbon lumps /deposits ) Oil breather pipes maybe sludged up also Gaz . Maybe a new air filter would be a good shout , if its not already been done , she looks good underneath Gaz . 👍
Yeah I've cleaned it all up in the 'sludge remover' video
Fun video to watch! Looks better! Interested to see the final flush!
use Ezi Engine flash, it works well in Libya, the environment here is desert and we love Toyota cars, both new and old, and we found the above product to be very excellent, I advise you to try it, my regards 👍
I've just had to get rid of one, that was a two flusher 😮👍😎
Great job mate🙌👏 I love hard work on motors, I could watch it all day!😂❤ from NZ🇳🇿
Got another vid coming with the 'sludge remover' 🫣
'Old Skool' method was to disconnect the battery, fill the engine TO THE BRIM with diesel, and leave it soaking overnight. Drain completely, fresh oil, run for 30 minutes then fresh oil + filter...
I have to say, I've gained a whole new appreciation of your skill level! Here I was thinking you were just another British tree hugging git and I come to find out that you have grease and oil in your blood! Way to go!
😎
Best engine flush gaz is a pint of diesel in the oil cap run it for thirty minutes 😊
I always did this mate and it's cheep cheep I used to work on cars from a young age so I does work save a few mate hope it helps
Run it round the block drive it a bit harder to get the pressure up to the rockers to clean
I used to use flushing oil run the engine on low Rev's for a few hour's then drop it out then run it again with new flushing oil then once I was happy new engine oil and filters that engine was clean compared to some of the engines I use to do the flushing oil we used to use was a mixture of diesel fuel and a heavy motor oil mixed together always work great once you got the mix right.
I absolutely love your videos. You make me laugh, love fendi too. Good job on that car. Looking forward to next video. Take care hun.
One off the best videos you’ve made Gaz👍
Hey!!! You enjoyed one! 🫣🤣
I'm just editing part 2 to this vid now with me being rained off 🤪
@@GrizzlyGaz Yep I enjoyed that one no bull shit just you doing man stuff and I hope the engine runs perfect for you 👍
You want to use straight Kerosene in the crank case and keep flushing until it runs clear then I'd recommend using high mileage oil and a high mileage STP.
I use Lucas engine oil treatment to get rid of a leak and it worked it's a miracle. I had to put it in about three times every oil change to get it to go to work but it did it
Ive been a car guy all of my 60+ years and Ive never seen a bottle of crap actually clean the inside of an engine. I can tell you that I have seen an impressive transformation of a crap filled engine turned pretty clean by simply changing the oil VERY OFTEN and just drive the vehicle a lot. Long drives will heat up and soften the build up and the new oil filter captures what it can. I used cheap oil and cheap oil filters and simply changed the oil every couple weekends until you didnt see all the grime. In your case, you have gotten ahead of the game by cleaning the rocker cover and oil pan out. Look for an oil with DETERGENT and 10w-30 is fine. When the dipstick looks like the engine has clean oil in it after running a few miles, you are done. SeaFoam... I think it works best when you suck it into the intake via a vacuum port while the engine is running. She will want to kick and die so keep the engine running and suck in slowly about 1/3 of the can. Shut the engine off and let it sit for 15 minutes and then start it up and rev the engine until it stops smoking. And it WILL SMOKE! Then it will idle like a baby! Best of luck!
Gidday mate I can honestly say I'm in me early early 40s an this year was the first time I ever did a oil change on me old Nissan Venette , I'm shocking like that..
I'll just keep driving and driving 😂,
Yours looks really good after the flushes and cleaning cause holy moly cotton candy it was thick looking aye.
Hopefully the next stuff is even better.
After the second flush it looks better try the sludge remover it might help.
Great little video I’ve always used the seafoam. I don’t even know if that would touch it.
I've done that n just carry a few oil filters with you. I added a half gallon of diesel fuel n let it ilde 10 min.then drained it for ever letting it stop dripping.then just keep changing the oil n filters
Good work gaz looks like it needs swamp remover
I had an old Honda Prelude in the 90s that was given to me by an elderly family member the engine was sludged up even worst than your engine , it only has 40 something thousand miles, I used Wynns engine flush and drove around in it for a week I had nothing to lose after a week I drained it and that engine and sump looked brand new inside the valve gear looked spotless. Changed the rocker gasket and put new oil in it , changed the oil a month later and it was still cleanish. TBH with a dirt engine I dont think 20 minutes is long enough for that engine flush to do its best you need to drive the car around to get the stuff through all the passageways in the modern engine and allow it to cycle through different pressure cycles with fast and slow driving. I had the car for 8 years after that and it ran beautifully with regular oil changes of 3-4000 miles I think 6000 miles its to high. Even today I get my oil changed at 4000 miles and I always use Castrol because I trust it car is 4 years old now another Honda.
I know nowt about cars, but I found this very interesting. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
That looks like a difficult job… good luck 🍀
Mineral oi; is the reason for all this build up inside. Toyota recomends syntetic oil for this engine.
Check your cooling system, coolant and thermostat while your at it and pay attetion to gauges aswell. Engines can sludge up due to overheating, this one might just be case of a missed oil change or two though
PCV valve failure
@@GrizzlyGazoh wow, forgot to mention but this is like the second most known problem on this engine series
I use synthetic oil in all seven of my trucks and motorcycles and have fabulous luck with them all.
I've no idea what oil has been used in this van before I got it.
Hey Gaz, As crazy as it sounds, I have used transmission fluid to flush engines before, just drain the engine of oil fill with transmission fluid, run the car for 5 to 20 mins and drain. I ve used this before in the past to get rid of sticky lifters. Of course with anything i always say do at your own discretion. But if your looking into different ways just thought id give you a heads up on that one. Take care, love the videos.
Lol what?!?!!
Transmission fluid is hydraulic fluid. It has ZERO lubricating properties. Bad idea
@@samholdsworth420 bro your talking to a server technician for over 30 years, im not some back year mechanic. It also has cleaning agents in the fuild
@@Willi2k oh sorry bro I didn't know your extensive service history 😲
Good on ya dude, luv ya Gaz, but where's the tent & dinner...!??🤔😄 Wish that I still had one of my previous cars...😐
Love it fly around and put all these things in and get torqued up with spec gonna need some gloves 😂
You're not a real mechanic if you don't have the gloves 😜
@@GrizzlyGaz true legend GG id love to sit and chat with you maybe over a beverage or 2 😂keep up your content its brilliant 🫡
Great video Gaz, thanks
Nice job mate
I know its not you camping,but i enjoyed that.That sludge was probly keeping engine quiet, did you find any fine metal filings in sludge or oil.Did you take sump off too after the cleaning as well as changing filters,good luck have fun.
No metal filings thank god! Yes, I changed everything with each new oil fill 👍
Mechanics makes a change Gaz, not as good as Not Economically Viable channel but Nino does a bit of comedy to get laughs as he strips a car.
Doubt I'll make it my day job mate. I hate crawling around under cars covered in oil and grease! 🤣🤣
thank you.
litre of red diesel mate and run for 20 mins that engine will probably never come completely clean without a full strip down. don`t keep picking at the crud loose pieces will end up blocking something.
Gaz the gunge is caused by a blocked engine breather, make sure the cam cover breather is clear and the pipe work, it's so easily missed, engine flush waste of money. take the oil filler cap off and check how much blow by gas is coming out, if it's heavy the engine is worn.
Yeah PVC valve 👌
Shame you can't get something similar for calcification of the arteries.😮
Dirt and sludge is the only thing keeping my car together. 😂
In my Toyota I think it had a V6 and the only leak at other had was one of the valve cover gaskets. Which isn't really a bad fix
Wasn't it the V6 that Toyota had to pay out loads of customers for in the 90's due to bad engine design regarding the PCV system?
@@GrizzlyGaz not too sure about that it was a 93 I think and I bought it used
@@jamesdec1774 just search 'toyota sludge law suit'
Could try a Terraclean
Looks better
Use 3xdmso, and refill oil 3 times in next 300miles to cheapest one and it will be clean as new
16oz of dmso + full amount of new 10w40 oil, run for 40 min and change it, repeat it 3xtimes and fill with cheap oil, change after 300 miles to normal one, each time of course change oil filter, and if your oil pan in painted get rid of all painting inside your oil pan. Your engine will be fine, same story was with my Lexus es300, it was owned by girl...
And don't waste money on all these sludge removers they are not for your case)
Well done L wouldn’t of tackled it.
Diesel does a similer job to engine flush. Around 400ml.
Bit of a slip of the tongue when you got the manual out. Now we know where you get your knives from.
Haha I was wondering if anyone would catch that! 😜
Havent you got a just Japanese auto factors by you gaz. Get all youre spares for it, go to halfords and invest in a tool set the advanced range are good value for money and have a no quibble lifetime warranty. Also get yerself a a oil filter remover. Worth the cash for the tools if you do youre own maintenance.
No JPN parts centre near me and the Toyota dealership was no use either!
My old man is a mechanic of 40yrs so
I've got my own tools mate and have oil filter tools but these filters are not standard.
@@GrizzlyGaz it looks like a standard oil filter to me gaz the tools fit any filter you can get a spider one that will fit that perfectly. As for the Toyota dealership I'm not suprised only want to sell you a brand new EV, I miss my mazda it unfortunately rotted in front of my eyes but I kept it going for 5 years more. Those jap cars have sweet reliable engines. I had a issue with my old halfords professional torque wrench they swapped it no issues. I was worried because I have lost the receipt over the time I owned it. I'm down in devon and used to use just Japanese auto factors in exeter for my mazda if I needed bits. Luckily my local mazda place is family owned and friendly they even fit the batteries in the keyfob for you. How's that for service.
It would be interesting to see it rebuilt? a winter project maybe.. Nothing is going to remove that crud. Good to see you, all best Daz.
Can we have some vital statistics 😮
What year is the van, size of engine (petrol?) and is it 4WD?
1999 Toyota TownAce Noah, 2.0l petrol automatic RWD.
Use seafoam it will do the job without damaging your engine
You might try synthetic oil.
I am in NZL and work on lots of Japan imports over the years,i drop a litre out of the sump and pour in a 1 litre of mineral turps and run for 15 min at a fast idle,and dump it and let it drain for an hr or so and replace filter and new oil,have even done it on common rail late diesel works good..I have seen worse than this van motor!
I've heard all sorts from filling the crank case with diesel and no oil, ATF fluid etc etc... but I thought I'd start with products specifically designed for this sort of use to see if they actually work.
Cleaning it out fully could cause more damage/leaks so it doesn't want to be shiny anyways or I'd probably have to strip it all down and replace all the seals and piston rings etc.
@@GrizzlyGaz Yeah what your doing will help it,i must try some of that moly one day,it definitely cleaned up your engine quite a bit..
@@Wilt8v92 I'm just editing part 2 of that video now with liqui moly sludge remover, plus oven cleaner to clean the baffles inside the valve cover 🫣
Hasn't been serviced in a long time get it carbon cleaned or rebuild engine
That was not looked after in its later days
Thanks
Hi unfortunately my partner died in Dec and he used to do all the maintenance on our cars, now I am trying to maintaine them, I know what you mean about trying to find information about different problems lol it's very difficult, I have a Toyota Avensis which also being an older model needs a bit more TLC, it looked a slight bit better with the flushes but I think red diesel may help, also I have been told that Toyotas love frequent oil changes, maybe more than other makes, it seems they can fail really quick if left with dirty oil, someone has obviously not looked after your motor in the past, hope you get it up and running again, you seem to know what your doing, which is a bonus lol good luck xx
No problem 🫡
It's due to the PCV system failing on some Toyota models. People often overlook them and just change the oil and not the PCV valve also. It's fairly cheap and easy to do ✌️
Thank you xx
Would be nice to get a brand new engine.
You would of been better off sticking some cheap oil in get it hot then empty it, then put decent stuff in. Additives and flushes don't work tbh mate. When was the oil changed on it last aim at every 5 and 6k mate
holy smoke😁
Best way to fuse engine use diesel fuel it will clean it out good bro
I've heard conflicting views on this so I didn't want to risk it! Especially when I can't get any info on the motor
@GrizzlyGaz I know how u feel and there is not many of them there so they was imported to ur country so I understand but man u had balls of oil in there man that's was bad but I hope u get it all cleaned out I try to tell people it's important to change every 3000 miles some do not listen but love ur video's mate 😉
@@ChadEuten doesn't help the the PCV valve had failed (probably years ago) and all the top of the valve cover where the breathers are was all blocked. I think that was the route cause of it all
It looks like someone has never changed the oil in that in a wile
Take a photo of the part you are removing before remove it so you know where it goes
Is the Mrs Gaz now an Ex Mrs Gaz because you used her toothbrush? 🤔😂
Yes.
Gaz are you a mechanic ?
No.
Someone did not take care of the engine bro that's from not hardly changing the engine oil I seen it alot in last 20 years of being a mechanic but u can not beat a 4 cylinder toyota engine I have that same motor in my work car 2006 pontiac vibe it has 500,000 miles on it here in America
I think it was the PCV valve that failed a long time ago and no one noticed. The breather baffles in the valve cover were all bunged up too!
@GrizzlyGaz I maybe good one day to drop oil pan and check pick up tube for oil pump buddy just to be on safe side
@@ChadEuten I dropped the oil pan in the video. Checked the oil pick up and it was fine 👌
@GrizzlyGaz ur awesome can't wait until next video ready see what's next all eyes on you bro have blessed day or it may be night there
Thats a valve cover not a crankcase. The crankcase is at the bottom.
I didn't open up the valve cover 🤷🏼♂️
@@GrizzlyGaz yes you did you . Called it the crank case the first time lol
@@samholdsworth420 I said "let's open up the crankcase and have a look inside"
To open the crankcase to have a look inside you take the valve cover off. I didn't open up the valve cover, I lifted it off 😉
@@GrizzlyGaz yeah.....I commented before I finished the video.
I understand now 😄
@@samholdsworth420 🤣 a bit premature then pal 😜
It don't look that bad gaz I have seen them 5 times worse than that 😅😅😅😅
Just split up with my girlfriend to mate so know how your feeling
Did you use her toothbrush to clean an engine too?
Ahhh yes. Egrs ruin engines
PCV system in this case
@@GrizzlyGaz egr introduces the contamination tho. But yeah clogged pcv NO GOOD 💯
If i was pulling lumps of shite out of an engine i would consider it scrap.
I don't give up that easy
Surprisingly he has oil on the cam lobes etc so should be okay after a clean out. Needs frequent oil changes and filter changes. Being a Toyota it hasn't broken
Bit different this gaz love it. Be watching this with the misses 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Hoping it might help others out or answer some questions
8:38 man made two stroke
Looked worse after the two flushes Gaz!!🫤
