Ah, thanks for that, useful to know! Yes, I hope it's ok, but I'll just have to see. With any luck it'll be alright, but if not, I'd at least hope it'll be in a fit enough state for rebuilding.
Man...at first sight of that goo, I'd have a beer, drop the pan, pull the rocker covers, take out the spark plugs, and fog the cylinders, diesel flush the whole thing, have a beer, blow the turbo lines, swap the coolant, remove the mouse nest from the air intake, have a beer, siphon the old gas out, crank it with fresh gas with the fuel line disconnected at the motor, have a beer, reassemble everything with new gaskets, have a beer and order pizza, do a sacrificial oil change, and then try starting it. That goo is like cholesterol in a fat man. It's throughout the engine and will simply roam around and contaminate the new oil...fatal for a turboed motor. I hope it's still running.
Only way to tell if oil is good? Do an oil analysis. I had oil that still looked okay, but analysis showed it had very little anti-wear additives (and was starting to turn acidic) .
But also some real mechanics not taking the oil pan off is for lunatics, just pure luck if all the tar came out. Image the oil pump filled with this gummy oil poor engine
@@fergap9438 wasn't responding to the OP. Notice who I responding to. That person’s comment is no longer there. For context, that person I was responding to had said that the vlogger didn’t even mention replacing the oil filter.
Tommy Gun yeah, I've been thinking of that as well. But maybe the sump is welded in or by just removing the sump, the oil elsewhere might not get cleaned out. I'm not an expert, just my predictions
Tommy Gun no, no , and fucking hell no. Option 1: Hey man i need my oil changed. Sure let me just get around to thoose 300 rusty bolts before i lift the engine out of the car and remove the oilpan, and give it a good cleaning before i put new oil in there.. And also your going to need alot of new hooses, gaskets, bolts, etc etc, since they broke during dismantling. So umh yeah Thats going to be a 10.000 dollar oil change. Or here is option 2: unscrew the plug, wait for oil to pour out, use solvents to clean pan, before putting in new oil and bam u done. I dunno like 100 dollars?
@@destroyall24 Yes, but it depends on the car. In general it takes about 8-12 hours, with rare cases of it taking 15 hours for rare, very difficult cars. Private garages are usually cheaper as their upkeep is lower than larger garages. Doing it through a specialist or dealer obviously is more expensive, rates of 90 per hour...expect to make that 130-150 per hour in that case.
I do it twice a year on my 2017 Elantra Sport right now. Barely scraping 3,750 miles in 6ish months time. Change it to keep it happy, and makes routine changes a normal part. Literally the lifeblood of any engine.
Nowadays you can change it every couple years, and 20.000 km. Ive never heard anyone changing oil at 3 months, unless you drive 10.000 km or more, in those 3 months..
I finally changed the oil in my lawnmower. I bought it back in 2004. I was expecting a gooey mess, but the oil looked okay on the dip stick. I used a oil extractor without a problem.
A friend worked at the local Ford garage, called me in one day to look at an 03 Mondeo Auto. Had 75k on the clock, had not had an oil change since 5k service which was 8 years previous. Motor was seized, similar looking sludge in the sump. You were very wise to change it out.
Dexron ATF works great to soften and dissolve sludge. Try it straight without driving, just run stationary, drain and put engine oil-ATF 50/50 and drive 50 miles, change and repeat a few times, changing filter each time. Finally use 1 quart ATF with engine oil and run for 500 to 1000 miles. If it still runs, the engine will likely be OK for quite a while. I've saved a few engines that way, but too late is still too late.
Almost no drip from that much sludge automatically means I remove the oil pan. That will allow as much of the sludge from the pan to be removed as possible as well as removing every last drop of oil that has sunk to the pan. You can't clear out the oil pickup mesh that sucks up the oil up to the upper components of the engine. Third and final thing of the initial 3 steps is to take out the spark plugs so you can lubricate the walls of the cylinders with Fogging Oil. Even straight oil into the cylinders in a small amount is good if no fogging oil spray is not available. You scraped up the cylinder walls with the piston rings as well as scraped the rings, themselves, by not doing that. It shortens the life of the engine and/or causes oul-burning. You're going to say too much for a car that may not start up but it sure was worth it with that car.
I do love these internet mechanics about all the ways they'd of done this different and clearly using delorians for time saving abilities with dodgy dave giving below trade price on parts.

I do have the kit to do it, but I'd need to source a gasket set for the engine, which itself would be a challenge, and the first thing to do was find out what I'd got - if it'd run like a bag of spanners, yes, I'd have had to pull it and rebuild.

I agree with you with the diesel they don't give you enough room I know that for a fact because I had the Ford F350 6.0 turbo diesel 2006 my brother had the 2001 7 3 replace that oil cooler about 4 time on the 6.0 at the end I bought the Bullet Proof Diesel oil cooler going from Arizona he didn't seem to really help it did freed up a lot of room but I never buy an aftermarket boots for the intercooler it just keeps on popping the way from Texas and bought some dealer ones and still have them here didn't use them
@@dannywhite132 Nope, it's neglect. Junkyard Digs and Vice Grip Garage, just to name a couple, regularly get vehicles running that have been abandoned for 30+ years, if you'd like to see it (it's pretty awesome). The oil will lose viscosity over time, but it doesn't turn into.....that.
After I retired the first time I decided to try selling new cars for awhile. We also sold used cars and were always looking for a good one to sell. The boss traded for a 3 or 4 yr old Crown Victoria, about 90,000 miles but fairly clean looking appearance. I pop the hood and WHOA! There was a coating of oily dirt over an inch thick on the dipstick! Nobody had checked the oil in a long time, so I pulled it out and OMG, no liquid oil at all, nothing but dried clumps of something on the dipstick!!!!! How is this thing even running? I told the service manager that it needed special attention, I wish I had been able to witness the work, but they got it cleaned out and by some miracle it ran just fine. Here's the kicker, it belonged to a independent oil producer, I don't think the oil had EVER been changed. Its important to take the valve covers off neglected engines, I was shown a number of neglected engines that the valve train was completely clogged up with dried up oil and the top end wasn't getting any oil flow at all.
I saw a de-sludge of a VW 1.8T engine. They dropped the oil pan and removed the valve cover, and wiped and picked out all the sludge before running solvent through the engine.
Next time u try something like this pull tge spark plugs if its a petrol engine and pour some seafoam or marvel down the holes and leave it soak just in case rings might have been siezed (also cleans out the combustion chamber nicely) and then put in new spark plugs, woulda made starting a lot easier
I own 2 cars, a truck, a boat and a motorcycle. I use software on my laptop www.lonewolf-software.com/automotivewolf.htm to manage the maintenance schedules for each vehicle and keep a comprehensive maintenance log. I have a 2011 Toyota Prius with over 300,000 miles on and its never needed a single repair. I change the oil on it every 10,000 miles with Full synthetic and use OEM Toyota oil and filters. It still gets over 50 MPG and runs like new. I think that just following the vehicles maintenance schedule can extend the life of the vehicle and save you A LOT of money in unnecessary repairs.
My old boss used to say look after your car and it will look after you,wise words,my car gets serviced every year or 10,000 miles it’s a 2013 focus diesel,great car.
I wonder how this kind of people that forget or denials simple commun items , how they actually clean up after they use the restroom or even if taking a bath is on their mind???😱
Im not old lol, but about the diesel/oil flush thing.. we still learn that trick at school, but i learned it with oil and ATF 🤔 And personaly, i found out that the best way is just to take the valvecover and oil pan off, and just dump a bucket with atf and a bucket or 2 with diesel. Garanteed clean engine👌
The close resemblance to bodily functions is part of the fascination. Honestly, haven't heard of anything like this since broke up with that nurse. Seriously.
a trick i use for old engines that need a good flush is to drain them and lob in some cheap oil , change the filter and also add around 200ml of Redex to the oil. run the engine at fast idle for an hour then stop and drain again. Even a seemingly clean engine will produce a mass of crud out this way.
Yes, I think what's mainly helped it is by not being driven, it's not been exposed to road salt and the like, though the paintwork isn't great, lots of bits of failing clearcoat and scratches/dents around the car.
They are very rare cars now. I had a non-turbo MK1 model from new in 1998, for 6 years. A lovely little car. They seem to be non existent for sale on eBay now, but I'm sure there are some knocking about in people's garages around the country. I paid about £6-7,000 for mine.
Having had a similar experience, I drained what oil I could get out, filled back up with flushing oil, ran the engine till hot, drained and repeated till the oil came out clean. If you don't have flushing oil use cheap oil and a can of engine flush. Flushing oil has a much higher % of detergent and is less viscous so gets into and cleans out all oil passage ways, plus it's safe to run your engine with for short periods so it can do it's work
In the mid 80s a guy had a 70s model ford, all he used was quaker state engine oil. We took off the oil fill cap, shined a light in and the engine oil looked like hardened tar build up filling up the valve pan.
I think it depends where you are, actually, and who supplies it. I've seen all sorts of shades from different companies. We also have "red" diesel here in the UK which is, well, red. It's not taxed as a road fuel (i.e. much cheaper), so they put a dye in it to be able to check if people are using it when they shouldn't.
In Canada, red diesel is home heating fuel, green diesel is used for farm equipment and blue diesel or blue petrol are used to commercial fishing vessels. Only undyed diesel and petrol are allowed to be in the tanks of personal vehicles.
This little car is a eternal machine, have one for ten years.Drived it from Bergen in Norway to Stockholm some trips nad commuted in it to worc in tree years and it reached about 250000 km.But the little tree cyl dirt out the oil since little oil reservoir.10 000 km recommended interval. No i have a Peugeot 107, same concept but a little bigger car.
I worked on a five year old escort that had that beat. It had a noise, I took the valve cover off and the oil RETAINED THE SHAPE. You could not even see the rockers; when I started it (it was driven in) it just looked like jelly jiggling around. When we told her the oil had not been properly replaced she exclaimed that was a lie, she had it done "twice." The car had over 50K miles on it and Ford actually replaced the engine under warranty. No idea why.
74 year young mechanic never seen sludge like that . I would have had to drop the sump to clean that evil sludge out .I have a 2006 Perodua Kalisa petrol which has had loads of proper oil changes . cheap at 2- 1/2 litres only . batteries last around 5 years and the car is a dream to work on .
Yes, ideally you'd drop the sump and clean it out directly, unfortunately the way the car's laid out makes that pretty much an engine-out or subframe-off job, which isn't especially convenient.

Think I would have bought 8 liters of cheapest oil i could and be doing 2x oil changes after 100 miles each, then putting in castrol.
Well, I kind of did, in that I had the Castrol on the shelf, so it was "free" to use.
I would use castrol for the flusb then buy real oil later
In USA the Castrol company was sued for violating consumer protection laws. Castrol is now considered low-grade oil (even when synthetic).

For all of you saying oh just drop the pan oh it's easy just drop it. Yeah stay at pepboys
People like that shouldn't own cars
Loveduhmusic the car was sat for 13 years maybe the owner died.
@L. Dega no that's oil being left to stagnate for 13 years, and allowed to congeale

Nope, it's neglect. Junkyard Digs and Vice Grip Garage, just to name a couple, regularly get vehicles running that have been abandoned for 30+ years, if you'd like to see it (it's pretty awesome). The oil will lose viscosity over time, but it doesn't turn into.....that.
After I retired the first time I decided to try selling new cars for awhile. We also sold used cars and were always looking for a good one to sell. The boss traded for a 3 or 4 yr old Crown Victoria, about 90,000 miles but fairly clean looking appearance. I pop the hood and WHOA! There was a coating of oily dirt over an inch thick on the dipstick! Nobody had checked the oil in a long time, so I pulled it out and OMG, no liquid oil at all, nothing but dried clumps of something on the dipstick!!!!! How is this thing even running? I told the service manager that it needed special attention, I wish I had been able to witness the work, but they got it cleaned out and by some miracle it ran just fine. Here's the kicker, it belonged to a independent oil producer, I don't think the oil had EVER been changed. Its important to take the valve covers off neglected engines, I was shown a number of neglected engines that the valve train was completely clogged up with dried up oil and the top end wasn't getting any oil flow at all.
I saw a de-sludge of a VW 1.8T engine. They dropped the oil pan and removed the valve cover, and wiped and picked out all the sludge before running solvent through the engine.
Yeah, those 1.8Ts seem to sludge quite badly, luckily the access is not bad on them to do that.

Next time u try something like this pull tge spark plugs if its a petrol engine and pour some seafoam or marvel down the holes and leave it soak just in case rings might have been siezed (also cleans out the combustion chamber nicely) and then put in new spark plugs, woulda made starting a lot easier
I own 2 cars, a truck, a boat and a motorcycle. I use software on my laptop www.lonewolf-software.com/automotivewolf.htm to manage the maintenance schedules for each vehicle and keep a comprehensive maintenance log. I have a 2011 Toyota Prius with over 300,000 miles on and its never needed a single repair. I change the oil on it every 10,000 miles with Full synthetic and use OEM Toyota oil and filters. It still gets over 50 MPG and runs like new. I think that just following the vehicles maintenance schedule can extend the life of the vehicle and save you A LOT of money in unnecessary repairs.
Good stuff!
1:21 how my toilet looks like when I look at it after taco bell
My old boss used to say look after your car and it will look after you,wise words,my car gets serviced every year or 10,000 miles it’s a 2013 focus diesel,great car.
At 2 min and 30 sec you are experiencing my morning ritual.
🤣
I wonder how this kind of people that forget or denials simple commun items , how they actually clean up after they use the restroom or even if taking a bath is on their mind???😱
Did u shout “its alive!!” When it finally turned over?😅😅😅
I would have, lol!
I don’t feel so bad about letting my next change go a little overdue now lol
Im not old lol, but about the diesel/oil flush thing.. we still learn that trick at school, but i learned it with oil and ATF 🤔
And personaly, i found out that the best way is just to take the valvecover and oil pan off, and just dump a bucket with atf and a bucket or 2 with diesel. Garanteed clean engine👌
I love the suggestion of the dipstick flush to start with

2:52 How i feel after drinking a few beers 😂
The close resemblance to bodily functions is part of the fascination. Honestly, haven't heard of anything like this since broke up with that nurse. Seriously.
a trick i use for old engines that need a good flush is to drain them and lob in some cheap oil , change the filter and also add around 200ml of Redex to the oil. run the engine at fast idle for an hour then stop and drain again. Even a seemingly clean engine will produce a mass of crud out this way.
Was it sitting outside in English weather for fourteen years?
A wonder it wasn't fill of rust holes everywhere. Even the paint looked ok considering.
Yes, I think what's mainly helped it is by not being driven, it's not been exposed to road salt and the like, though the paintwork isn't great, lots of bits of failing clearcoat and scratches/dents around the car.
I prefer Spanish weather for my cars.
Haha, tell me about it, suppose it could be worse though!
InitialDave Florida weather is best!
Antony Lopez heat isn't necessarily good for a car
Cars come with oil already in them. You dont need to ever change the oil
Star trek Reference FTW!
Grateful Anubis sludge man
They are very rare cars now. I had a non-turbo MK1 model from new in 1998, for 6 years. A lovely little car. They seem to be non existent for sale on eBay now, but I'm sure there are some knocking about in people's garages around the country. I paid about £6-7,000 for mine.
Having had a similar experience, I drained what oil I could get out, filled back up with flushing oil, ran the engine till hot, drained and repeated till the oil came out clean. If you don't have flushing oil use cheap oil and a can of engine flush. Flushing oil has a much higher % of detergent and is less viscous so gets into and cleans out all oil passage ways, plus it's safe to run your engine with for short periods so it can do it's work
Use Liquimoly engine flush
diesel so much cheaper
Add some atf .
Mark Wright u know better than Multi million dollar company s who's reps are on the line.
Boodieman72 dont ever do a engine flush.
Holy shit, you really are a gigantic moron.
Hi Dave
If you need the repair manual for this car, do let me know
Car has got constipation lol
I can’t stop watching this
In the mid 80s a guy had a 70s model ford, all he used was quaker state engine oil. We took off the oil fill cap, shined a light in and the engine oil looked like hardened tar build up filling up the valve pan.
I believe this can happen when coolant finds it's way into the oil system. No way around it, but to check all the gaskets.
I would've just taken the sump off and cleaned that and the oil pick up.
Exactly, just take the oil pan off and change the gasket.
Forgive my ignorance. I had no idea diesel was the same color as coolant.
I think it depends where you are, actually, and who supplies it. I've seen all sorts of shades from different companies.
We also have "red" diesel here in the UK which is, well, red. It's not taxed as a road fuel (i.e. much cheaper), so they put a dye in it to be able to check if people are using it when they shouldn't.
In Canada, red diesel is home heating fuel, green diesel is used for farm equipment and blue diesel or blue petrol are used to commercial fishing vessels. Only undyed diesel and petrol are allowed to be in the tanks of personal vehicles.
+Sean - GREAT INFO !!!
Neither did I. Apparently it's a Chad thing.
+Chad Pugh: Coolant comes in more colors than gatorade.
That's a crazy thick strut bar. Very interesting video!
This little car is a eternal machine, have one for ten years.Drived it from Bergen in Norway to Stockholm some trips nad commuted in it to worc in tree years and it reached about 250000 km.But the little tree cyl dirt out the oil since little oil reservoir.10 000 km recommended interval. No i have a Peugeot 107, same concept but a little bigger car.
Looks like me the day after I eat 3 chicken enchiladas
Did you replace the blinker fluid 🤣
2:32 me after chugging a bottle of laxative
I worked on a five year old escort that had that beat. It had a noise, I took the valve cover off and the oil RETAINED THE SHAPE. You could not even see the rockers; when I started it (it was driven in) it just looked like jelly jiggling around. When we told her the oil had not been properly replaced she exclaimed that was a lie, she had it done "twice." The car had over 50K miles on it and Ford actually replaced the engine under warranty. No idea why.
Now I may not necessarily be the smartest knife in the crayon box, but smokey here is taking a shit!

It like the car is having a hard time trying to pee
@@dreamer097 you make a valid point
Why not just take out the oil pan
I would've done if it seemed like it wasn't going to sluice out, but wanted to start with a "minimal intervention" approach first.
still gunk elsewhere in the engine prolly asa well
Just run it a week. Change again
Pretty much.
JJD exactly. With some BG EPR. Really flush the system out.
74 year young mechanic never seen sludge like that . I would have had to drop the sump to clean that evil sludge out .I have a 2006 Perodua Kalisa petrol which has had loads of proper oil changes . cheap at 2- 1/2 litres only . batteries last around 5 years and the car is a dream to work on .
Yes, ideally you'd drop the sump and clean it out directly, unfortunately the way the car's laid out makes that pretty much an engine-out or subframe-off job, which isn't especially convenient.
0:36 HAHHAHHA that quick hand out of the way got me ...
The Star Trek sludge monster ran for nine seconds. The fair use limite is seven seconds. You've got a Hollywood problem now, buddy.

All motorway miles, just serviced, very good and reliable car.
