I own a '02' Ford E250, 3/4 ton extended body. 5.4, 2 valve. WITH 331,000 miles on the original, untouched engine and trans. It was a fleet vehicle. I bought it with 153,000 on it. I use MotorKote.

This old truck always gives me 18 - 20 miles to the gallon.
did you know your mobil 1 is NOT a true synthetic? only the process in which it is made is synthetic. go with an all true synthetic like amsoil. thats why it costs more. the real deal!
@@daniellang6112 my only constraint is will it pay for itself. All my cars seems to have too much rust, broken seats, bad injectors, etc and replacing all of those things generally cost half as much as a newer vehicle. I've never had an engine failure so synthetic, non synthetic they are all practically the same to me. The evaporation point seems good as most vehicles I never need to add oil between changes and Mobil one ranked in the top 5 as far as results so there's that
Great Job on the Maintenance Regime, probably all that crawling in, on, and under the vehicles all those years has kept you young. Only thing I don't like about MotorKote is the Chlorinated Parrafins in it, if there is a breakthrough on information on when it starts to really break down into an acidic corrosive condition and could drain before that it would be worth the risk. LIke around 2000 miles? 3000, or 5000 would be helpful for useful real world information. Amsoils lawsuit proved these oil treatments with any Chlorinated ingredients are very harmful on copper bearings etc. But at what point? Hopefully not immediately from the start of its usage, though? If I could afford Amsoils full synthetic I doubt if I'd change it for 15,000 miles or more. If I could afford that, I'd invest in also the finest filtering system available, because that Amsoil probably wouldn't be actually wearing out, just getting dirty with contaminates. Long Live the Internal Combustion Engine!!!

All of our driving is highway miles. We change the oil once a year using high TBN synthetic oils. The highest mileage car of ours has 345,000 miles on it and runs great.
One issue with the Prius in general is how hot they run. They are bound to loose oil just from burn off. Mines not an isolated problem. I've seen many like that.
@@Devo1987 As far as passenger car oils we’ve run M1 0W40 for two reasons.1. It’s a stout 10TBN synthetic and 2. It’s available at Walmart on rollback for $22 often. Pennzoil, Castrol, Havoline all offer high TBN “Euro spec” oils in 0W40, 5W40, and 5W30 weights. Your “Euro spec” oils will generally have higher levels of detergents and ZDDP than SP the rated oils. If money is no object Amsoil’s SIgnature Series is about at the top but I personally don’t think it’s necessary to spend the money on them. Royal Purple HPS oils are another very high TBN oil but also hard to get and expensive. For $22 for 5qts. M1 0W40 is hard to beat. We’ve run it 7-10K miles and the used oil analysis has always come back indicating that the oil was perfectly fine to run much longer.

I don't know much about Priuses, but I think the time when you said it was colder outside, the computer started off with a lower MPG because the battery temperature was cold, and cold batteries don't really work very well until they've warmed up a bit.
@@eby6114 This oil change really isn't that expensive when you consider that many people pay upwards of $25 for a conventional oil change, every 3 months. At least with a full motorkote oil change you get back some of the money back in fuel savings. New conventional oil change gives you extremely little to no mpg gains.
They sell Motorkote in 5 gallon buckets now. It's still pricey, but you can get it at 50 cents per ounce that way, which would be cheaper than AMSoil. I'm a little hesitant, but I might try this in my Corvette.
I stumbled across a broken pallet at one of those damaged freight wholesalers. Picked up 6 gallons for $15 each. The owner, who builds engines as a hobby, found out what it was and kept the next shipment for himself. I use a 50/50 mix of Motorkote and Royal Purple as gun lube and around the house.
Im a mechanic and im a twice a year. Here in canada change in fall and just before summer. For the temperature differences. Ive never had issues. Just a top off sometimes. Motorkote works
@@craigbadder4372 I do it once per 2 years is more than enuf never had a problem I you amsoil signature 25k .I will keep you updated in future on mileage.Oil look s very good nothing got added or gone missing
That's fine that you only change your engine once a year, not sure how many miles are on that oil once you change it but, just change your filter once in a while. The only two things that go wrong with oil is dirt and base loss. I assume you have to add oil periodically through out the year.
Ask the guy mentioned he didn't shake up the product to mix the ingredients in the carrier oil before filling up his Prius, also if he's replacing the filter I would suggest filling up the oil filter as well 4 screwing it back on vertically
Hello from greece bud nive video.if motorkotes viscosity just like plain oil i see its very thin from other additives that are more thick how does this miracle fluid work,dosent motorkote wash away on metal parts when the engine is working and oil is very hot
I never had issues with the motor. That being said Prius run a bit hot evaporating the oil. It's normally not noticed but I've heard many stories of them going around a curve and a warning popping up from low oil. Anyhow I eventually switched to TurboTax since so many people said motor kote becomes acidic. I tried a couple of different ways to test that statement but most test are made for water soluble things and not oil.
That's how you're calculating your mileage, from the dash readout? Those things aren't very accurate. You'd need to calculate the mileage from actual miles traveled divided by actual gals of fuel used to get a reliable mpg figure.
@@Im_The_Slep No issues. I changed it out during my next scheduled oil change. Interesting to note my Prius would consume oil a little from running a bit hot. This did not get worse or better. So I had to add a quart during the experiment. During my trip to Ohio over two thousand miles round trip, I was the fastest vehicle on the road. Probably didn't help oil consumption.
Ok how many quarts of oil did you put in after you drained the old oil? None ok this makes sense. But if you put a few quarts of fresh oil in and them added all this motorkote you going to blow a seal
MotorKote is an additive...NOT an oil...the oil is designed for lubrication, MK is designed to aid the lubrication and provide water protection I can't recommend it enough...but you don't need more than 1oz/quart per oil change (I also put it in my power steering, automatic transmission (not CVT!), and 1 oz in my radiator fluid to coat the metal inside the block to prevent rusting/corrosion and even shot .25oz in my sons AC system to see if it helps his newly replaced AC compressor (I need to get me an oil injector for already charged lines for the rest of my vehicles))
Why? It’s a metal treatment, and yes it’s meant to evaporate ! Even if it’s in there, added to old oil, for just a few days, that’s fine; the metal’s been treated. I’m guessing you’ll sludge your engine doing this.
@@jimstenlund6017 Curious why though? It doesn’t change oil properties, just a friction modifier that bonds to the metal itself. Regardless of before or after oil change, the oil will be what sludges. That is, if the owner/operator doesn’t take care of the vehicle
@@notacreativehandle Motorkote doesn’t need much time to do it’s job, a couple days of running/sitting should do it. Again, it’s a metal treatment, not a oil treatment.
Problem I have with modern cars are how hot the run. I've had trouble finding oil that doesn't burn off. Between my Prius and sprinter the sprinter runs much cooler and has little evaporated oil loss. The Prius much hotter and has surprisingly hot exhaust temps.
the cost is even Between the oil changes and replacement of the engine.. so if you get a 100k to 150k with minimal oil changes i.e every 20 k miles 300-420$ in oil changes saved $4000-4500 which is enough to buy a new engine or put a used one in for 600$ (assuming you pay 80-90 for an oil change)
You only need to add it as directed. I have a 1999 f150 4.2v6 auto trans. Runs and shifts perfect with 403000 miles on it dose not even use oil yet. Most of the time I use 3oz mk to 1qt of oil.a few times just 2oz to 1qt
Please do monthly updates on the amount of loss of Motorkote each check. Some is supposed to be absorbed per instructions but with this experiment who knows. Also at the end please show the oil taken out.
I added 1/2 quart my first trip 2000 miles and 1 quart after another 2000 miles. I ran my obd 2 during my first trip. A Prius will run hot. 1300 degrees was cat temperature at some point. I suspect that the oil evaporated. My first trip I had my wife in the car. Had to hide the lead foot a little My in town consumption was 46 last time I filled up(normally 38 to 40.
You can't be putting too many miles on if you only change once a year. 10k miles is pretty rough on any oil let alone if you drive daily all those heat cycles are just going to degrade the oil more and more. If all you drive though is a Prius/economy cars then I can imagine those oil changes lasting. But still I hope you at least check it every now and then make sure it's not leaking or burning any off, I have a Subaru with a turbo so I change my oil every 3k-5k miles with about a quart added every 1500 miles
Thanks. My engines always outlast my cars. Yeah I'm not driving much like I used to. I've never had an engine go. Always got rid of my cars after 300,000 miles since the entire car was wore out. Droopy doors, seals starting to leak. upholstery looking shoddy. I don't care about Prius. My box truck probably get changed every 5k with full synthetic. I'd probably go 3k with rotela. Prius runs so hot you have to add oil. I feel like it needed an oil cooler but like I said some cars you want to break so you can get something better as In more comfortable
It would be great if cars came from the factory with a crankcase full of motorkote that you would never have to change. (Maybe filter replacement and top off but still)
No, that wouldn't be good. As soon as a small metal shaving falls off it's gonna ride around in the oil till the filter collects it eventually the heat cycles will break down the oil and it won't act as oil anymore and will cause engine temperatures to rise in turn burning through bearings which require constant lubrication. I ran motorkote in my truck for one oil change about 2 or 3 later it burned off a lot of the oil and leaked some causing it to trip my oil pressure light when I braked. Took me a week to realize since I had only driven it about 10 times since the last oil change but I'm tearing it down right now to make some more power and the cylinders look great. Hardly any scratches and the honing is still clear as day yet I've got about 150k miles on it
Obviously you didn't look at your own video there's so much glare you can't even see the dash or the screen you were trying to show us only thing visible is a yellow check engine light
I have a 07 Prius it's new to me been a project car rebuild the battery stack getting about 37 is the best looking to increase that and figure out how your video was very interesting how much is a gallon of this miracle oil? I drive and stop very frequent synopsis and leave the car running while I go knock on doors sometimes 5 minutes sometimes 10 sometimes one minute and then I drive 5 minutes and I do it all over again
Lol it's around 60 to 70 per gallon. Not very lucrative to use. I've heard K and N filters let in too much dirt. I can substantiate that just hearsay. I wonder if a secondary hybrid battery would give you a big boost. There's articles about it online where a man greatly increased his mileage that way.
If you are going to use a product with chlorinated paraffins, at least use it as instructed. More is not always better. Looks like a complete waste of money in my opinion. But hey if it makes you feel good.....
Been thinking about a K&N filter and maybe some air box mods to let in more air I got over inflating a tire is just a little and see what that does any ideas what else I could do
A cold air system helps if your car is ducted properly and most newer cars are. MotorKote actually did help also. You can check it out being tested on Project Farm here on u tube. Shits expensive though.

Motorkote does not use a oil carrier. You have to use regular oil and the treatment mixes with it and is the carrier. Motorkote by itself will not work. Good luck losing your ride soon.
You're incorrect I contacted motor coat personally and they do use a carrier oil if you want to go ahead and contact them personally please let me know your results.
Want 52 MPG? Use CERMA it's expensive and it works (just leave the MotorKote in) Change to the largest Royal Purple oil filter that will fit on your car (part # 20-400) lowering the restriction of the small filter reduces engine drag and increases oil pressure at the bearings. Put CERMA automatic transmission treatment and AmsOil trans fluid in the transmission...which yields even more MPG than treating the engine. Use magnets on your oil filter and a MAGNAFILTER to keep iron dust out of the oil. My 08 Prius has over 200 K and is getting 50.8 MPG right now, that will go to 52-53 in cooler weather with no A/C.
@@BW-kv9wjit probably contains too much zddp (zinc) which when some of the oil got burnt it bonded to the metals in the cat and killed the cat or broke the o2 sensors
Aluminum heads on my 4.6 look new still, it’s had a few Motorkote treatments. I don’t put it into fresh oil though, as it’s a metal treatment, not an oil additive.
First of all you've done no Research into the best speed to drive your vehicle to get the best miles per gallon which is at 50 miles per hour for any vehicle currently which I've been testing since the early 80s,
Maybe you can tell me what it means when I have all the little cars regenerating on my screen sometimes a lot of them sometimes a few sometimes 25 miles to the gallon average sometimes close to 50 on the 5 minute screen
The first half of your comment was constructive the second destructive. Funny how you called me lazy without even knowing me or my work ethic. Congratulations
Stop using those additives and just get a high quality oil. A high quality oil will provide the same or higher film strength than these additives you’re using. Also, when using additives, it modifies the chemical makeup of the oil, which can reduce or increase film strength. Overall, it’s a bad idea. I recommend using Ravenol, Quaker State Full Synthetic, Red Line, or Tribodyn oil. These brands all contain some of the best protection in the industry that the additives you’re using can’t beat. Additives are a waste of money when you use a well engineered oil, which already has a robust additive package.
not trying to be a dick, but the once a year oil change is horse shit. if youre worried about evaporation, run shell rotella t6 diesel oil. every 4-5k miles. with 1 year oil changes youre engine has got to be full of carbon. and def burning oil because its becoming acidic... and breaking down over time.. ugh. people i swear to god. another option for GOOD oil, is amsoil.

I added 1/2 quart my first trip 2000 miles and 1 quart after another 2000 miles. I ran my obd 2 during my first trip. A Prius will run hot. 1300 degrees was cat temperature at some point. I suspect that the oil evaporated. My first trip I had my wife in the car. Had to hide the lead foot a little
My in town consumption was 46 last time I filled up(normally 38 to 40.
You can't be putting too many miles on if you only change once a year. 10k miles is pretty rough on any oil let alone if you drive daily all those heat cycles are just going to degrade the oil more and more. If all you drive though is a Prius/economy cars then I can imagine those oil changes lasting. But still I hope you at least check it every now and then make sure it's not leaking or burning any off, I have a Subaru with a turbo so I change my oil every 3k-5k miles with about a quart added every 1500 miles
Thanks. My engines always outlast my cars. Yeah I'm not driving much like I used to. I've never had an engine go. Always got rid of my cars after 300,000 miles since the entire car was wore out. Droopy doors, seals starting to leak. upholstery looking shoddy. I don't care about Prius. My box truck probably get changed every 5k with full synthetic. I'd probably go 3k with rotela. Prius runs so hot you have to add oil. I feel like it needed an oil cooler but like I said some cars you want to break so you can get something better as In more comfortable
I mixed this shit in Penzoil synthetic per the instructions (6qt. System) 2014 Ford 3.7l v6. Samething,,,little better than 10% gain in mpg.
How does this fair with the oil filter
I didn't see any issues. It has a carrier oil in it.
It would be great if cars came from the factory with a crankcase full of motorkote that you would never have to change. (Maybe filter replacement and top off but still)
Pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Aiden William yup, been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)
engine would not break-in you fool!
@@daniellang6112 no need to call him a fool.
No, that wouldn't be good. As soon as a small metal shaving falls off it's gonna ride around in the oil till the filter collects it eventually the heat cycles will break down the oil and it won't act as oil anymore and will cause engine temperatures to rise in turn burning through bearings which require constant lubrication. I ran motorkote in my truck for one oil change about 2 or 3 later it burned off a lot of the oil and leaked some causing it to trip my oil pressure light when I braked. Took me a week to realize since I had only driven it about 10 times since the last oil change but I'm tearing it down right now to make some more power and the cylinders look great. Hardly any scratches and the honing is still clear as day yet I've got about 150k miles on it
What is the car?
Motorcoat has no detergents in it
Just for fun not asking anyone to do the same
So you are not following manufacturers recommended usage?? what a waist of time if it blows up it proves nothing.
Motorkote is amazing, increased my fuel efficiency by 2mpg in my Toyota tundra
Obviously you didn't look at your own video there's so much glare you can't even see the dash or the screen you were trying to show us only thing visible is a yellow check engine light
I have a 07 Prius it's new to me been a project car rebuild the battery stack getting about 37 is the best looking to increase that and figure out how your video was very interesting how much is a gallon of this miracle oil? I drive and stop very frequent synopsis and leave the car running while I go knock on doors sometimes 5 minutes sometimes 10 sometimes one minute and then I drive 5 minutes and I do it all over again
Lol it's around 60 to 70 per gallon. Not very lucrative to use. I've heard K and N filters let in too much dirt. I can substantiate that just hearsay. I wonder if a secondary hybrid battery would give you a big boost. There's articles about it online where a man greatly increased his mileage that way.
@@eby6114 the extra battery sounds really interesting can you send me a link to that story
@@richardthompson3657 parts.olathetoyota.com/blog/convert-plug-in-prius
Looks interesting.
If you are going to use a product with chlorinated paraffins, at least use it as instructed. More is not always better. Looks like a complete waste of money in my opinion. But hey if it makes you feel good.....
Are you still running only motorkote in your engine?
I started using Turbo Maxx. I'd like to post a video on it but I. Very busy these days
@@eby6114 And difference?
Been thinking about a K&N filter and maybe some air box mods to let in more air I got over inflating a tire is just a little and see what that does any ideas what else I could do
A cold air system helps if your car is ducted properly and most newer cars are. MotorKote actually did help also. You can check it out being tested on Project Farm here on u tube. Shits expensive though.
How could one afford that much motorkote
They sell it by the gallon. It pays for itself
I'm confusing about motorkote.sometime somebody who said scam,other said not much helps ????.at motorkote office,lady weren't friendly from Columbus,Ohio.
Search motor coat bearing tests and see what you find
@@eby6114 well you should know astm bearing test.motorkote can do 800 pound per square inches.cerma and turbbomaxx can do 2000 pound per square inches.
@@eby6114 I used motorkote before.i not know if helps. In Lansing,mi Midas shop their Ford van run million miles with motorkote.i tried to remember about car run 10 miles without antifreeze??.using motorkote which saved his engine.motorkote hardly popular selling in big grocery store ?????.
howdy
That looks like i75.
It was, straight up to Ohio and back
It looked like Jackson Georgia
Motorkote does not use a oil carrier. You have to use regular oil and the treatment mixes with it and is the carrier. Motorkote by itself will not work. Good luck losing your ride soon.
You're incorrect I contacted motor coat personally and they do use a carrier oil if you want to go ahead and contact them personally please let me know your results.
Want 52 MPG?
Use CERMA it's expensive and it works (just leave the MotorKote in)
Change to the largest Royal Purple oil filter that will fit on your car (part # 20-400) lowering the restriction of the small filter reduces engine drag and increases oil pressure at the bearings.
Put CERMA automatic transmission treatment and AmsOil trans fluid in the transmission...which yields even more MPG than treating the engine.
Use magnets on your oil filter and a MAGNAFILTER to keep iron dust out of the oil.
My 08 Prius has over 200 K and is getting 50.8 MPG right now, that will go to 52-53 in cooler weather with no A/C.
Thanks for the info I didn't get a notification but I'm glad I've read it!
I put Cerma in my Dodge Charger that only had 20,000 miles on it and then the check engine light came on. The code was for the catalytic converter.
@@BW-kv9wjit probably contains too much zddp (zinc) which when some of the oil got burnt it bonded to the metals in the cat and killed the cat or broke the o2 sensors
What’s the purpose of the video?
Mileage compared to no motorkote
Motorkote reacts badly with aluminum parts in a engine. it creates a port blocking black sludge.
Do you have research to back your statement
Aluminum heads on my 4.6 look new still, it’s had a few Motorkote treatments. I don’t put it into fresh oil though, as it’s a metal treatment, not an oil additive.
Been using it for 20 years in 1999 f150 4.2v6. 403000 miles runs perfect . the 4.2 v6 is all aluminum 0 issues
First of all you've done no Research into the best speed to drive your vehicle to get the best miles per gallon which is at 50 miles per hour for any vehicle currently which I've been testing since the early 80s,
Maybe you can tell me what it means when I have all the little cars regenerating on my screen sometimes a lot of them sometimes a few sometimes 25 miles to the gallon average sometimes close to 50 on the 5 minute screen
Richard ta fuk r u talking about?

Car gas display are not accurate you need to take the real gas reading from the pump talk about being lazy
The first half of your comment was constructive the second destructive. Funny how you called me lazy without even knowing me or my work ethic. Congratulations
@@eby6114 That's the internet for you. Sometimes I miss the 80's😂
Stop using those additives and just get a high quality oil. A high quality oil will provide the same or higher film strength than these additives you’re using. Also, when using additives, it modifies the chemical makeup of the oil, which can reduce or increase film strength. Overall, it’s a bad idea. I recommend using Ravenol, Quaker State Full Synthetic, Red Line, or Tribodyn oil. These brands all contain some of the best protection in the industry that the additives you’re using can’t beat. Additives are a waste of money when you use a well engineered oil, which already has a robust additive package.
No is not a waste of money been using it for 20 years and cannot wear anything out ever since. Their are snake oils out their mk is not
not trying to be a dick, but the once a year oil change is horse shit. if youre worried about evaporation, run shell rotella t6 diesel oil. every 4-5k miles. with 1 year oil changes youre engine has got to be full of carbon. and def burning oil because its becoming acidic... and breaking down over time.. ugh. people i swear to god. another option for GOOD oil, is amsoil.

This is so dumb. Why not try following directions? If you are not doing what the directions recommend, do not do it. A meaningless test.
Apparently you never did anything for fun. I had a love hate relationship with that Prius. If I blew up to motor I wouldn't have cared.
