Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the videos. Hopefully Jake has learned something from this experience and will stay on top of his routine maintenance moving forward. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Carl, we had fun making this one. Jake was trying to act like he knew stuff but then he realized not so much. Hopefully he can perform his own oil changes moving forward. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words Ryan, glad you enjoyed the videos. He is very appreciative of everything we have done for him. It seems like he has a much better understanding on how things work and the importance of performing the routine maintenance. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully he has learned the error of his ways and will continue to change his own oil moving forward. We will continue to monitor things and stay on top of him. Cheers!

This is so strange since i was watching my dad change the oil since I was 5 or 6 years old. I'm nearly 50 now and still change my own oil since I'm the only one I trust to do it right. I don't enjoy auto work, but after I had a brake caliper fell off my old truck 5 minutes after I got off the interstate I do as much as I can yo make sure it's done right.
Thanks for sharing Sandman. That is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!
@@ciello___8307 Our dad had no interest in car stuff... so we learned to do oil changes via trial and error. He kept an eye on us... even if he didn't change oil himself. Always feel for those who never had a dad... even worse if both parents are not there. 🙂 P.S. Dad was an orphan and mum spent time in an orphanage when her mum couldn't look after her for a short time. That affected them both greatly.
@@ciello___8307 I was raised by a single mom and I only had two sisters. I was self taught before the days of internet. I got a Haynes manual, and a cheap socket set when I bought my first car and taught myself. I have never taken any of my cars to a shop in the last 30 years of driving. If you want to learn, you will!
I'm 100% self-taught, I can't rebuild an engine or anything crazy like that, but I've changed a lot of auxiliary parts on my 99 Mirage. She's at 237k and going. I keep three tool bags in the trunk, and for good reason. You never know when you'll need them! Keep a flashlight, a headband light, jacks, sockets wrenches, all the fixins.
Thanks for the comments Tony, he is extremely grateful that we are teaching him how to perform the routine maintenance on his car. It seems he can finally appreciate the value in doing these on time. We are always trying to help our the younger generation, hopefully this sticks with him. Cheers!
Changing your own oil is so easy to do and so rewarding. I’m teaching all of our kids how to do it. Basic auto maintenance should be a required class for high school kids. You saved this guy a boatload of money.
Thanks for the comments Pete, we wanted to try to help this young kid out since he knows nothing about cars or routine maintenance. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
@@LoopBooost yeah you make a good point. I’m 45 and a couple of my high school buddies who are mechanics have bad knees or backs from 20+ years of wrenching. The trades are good careers but can be taxing on health for sure.
It's not easy. It's a real pain in the ass actually, extremely messy and basically a pointless time waste. And you end up with a load of oil that you gotta get rid of. Horrible.
I loved it when you politely realigned the ramp. He teaches kids now that they know he skims videos to learn what a waste. What a example to teach children. I'm glad you asked him to watch his language. ❤ God bless you 🙏
Thanks for the comments Billy, glad you enjoyed the video. We will keep tabs on the Kia and make sure Jake does the routine maintenance on time. Cheers!
@@seeya205 It was challenging for us as well. Even though he thought he knew things, it was clearly evident he did not. We will make sure he continues to take care of things moving forward. Cheers!
We can all laugh, because we've been doing this since before we could legally drive. But, you know he felt accomplished at the end of this and will likely remember it his whole life! Sure, he has quite a bit of growing up to do, but I'm proud of him and proud of you @Bradleys Garage for taking him to school!
Thanks for the kind words Drew, we are happy to help guide him through this entire process. He helped with the other two videos so he got to see first hand what happens when you fail to perform routine maintenance. We are confident he will stay on top of things moving forward and has learned at least a few things on taking care of his car. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
My dad taught me how to change oil & track the mileage when I turned 12. When I got my first car at 18, I already knew what to do including transmissions & differentials.
@@BradleysGarage *Thank you for clarifying that Jake was present at the autopsy in 1st video. Appears the deal was he had to work in all three. The best life lessons are those learned hands-on and paid for in sweat equity. One lesson being never visit JiffyLube again. Cheers!*
@@blackrifle6736 He was there observing and helping behind the scenes on the first two videos. Then we convinced him he should take the lead in the third video. Hopefully he has learned enough to perform some basic tasks moving forward. Cheers!
*Respect to you for turning a typically DIFM kid into a IDIM one. Your patience in teaching Jake the correct procedures is salutary and an example for all to see. Pity that Jake failed to prime the filter. Cheers!*
Thanks for the comments, we just wanted to help this young kid out since he really did not have many options. He is actually still paying for this Kia, so there was no way he could afford to perform any repairs. We will keep tabs on this little Kia and make sure he stays on top of the routine maintenance. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
We couldn't agree more, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
You broke the algo on that first video. Good job Jake. You learned a lot through this you’ll never forget. Yeah jiffy will skip changing your oil filter and you’ll be screwing your engine hard. Caught an oil change place doing that - been changing my own ever since. Gets done better.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. The goal will be for him to be able to change his own oil moving forward. Though we may need to still supervise a little, just in case. 😎 That is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Ah man no wonder. Jake is just a kid! I subscribed because of this series. Glad you helped him out and he learned the importance of maintaining his vehicle.
Thanks for the kind words Colton, glad you enjoyed the video series. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he continues to perform the necessary routine maintenance. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Lee, unfortunately his father could not educate him on car repairs as he also never learned anything about working on them. We were fortunate to have auto repair knowledge in our family so we can pass that along to future generations. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words Sharon, glad you enjoyed the video series. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor long term. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
I agree! He seemed to be more interested in being funny than actually putting forth some serious effort into learning how to do everything correctly. The way he constantly interrupted Brad during instruction says a lot. If he was serious about learning, he would've watched the 1st & 2nd videos at least once a day over the course of a week or so instead of 'pulling an all-nighter to cram for a test the next day' so to speak. And there are so many oil change videos from so many other content creators out there, he really doesn't have an excuse. Oh well, jiffy lube all you want, homie! Not all oil change shops are exactly trustworthy, either. It's his car. Not mine.
A word of advise, Don't put on the undertray until you have refilled and started the car. That way you can easily verify whether you have any leaks or not.
I have been involved in auto mechanics since I was 13, my father got me interested, change oil, spark plugs, brakes, shocks, etc... I took auto shop in H.S. 1,2,3,4,5,6. It is more of a passion for me to mod my vehicles and work on it myself. I have no faith in anyone working on it. When I was 13 I took my fathers lawn mower apart without permission, LOL and honed the cylinder some, new rings, put it back together and it ran fine for many years. Anyways I graduated H.S. in 1979 so I just dated myself.

I absolutely adore this video 😄 Brought much needed laughter (not "making fun" sort of laughter). "Plus sign screwdriver" is my new favorite! You two should start a Bradleys & Jake Show channel 😃 Don't forget to teach him to write the mileage & date on the oil filter 😉
Thanks for the kind words Mel, glad you enjoyed the videos. Our goal was always to help educate this young kid so he has some life skills moving forward. We agree though, + sign screwdriver was hilarious 😎 Cheers!
@@mr.giggles4995 Here is the background - The Phillips screwdriver is named after Henry F. Phillips, an American businessman from Portland, Oregon, who patented the Phillips-head screw in the early 1930s. Although Phillips is usually credited with inventing the system, he actually acquired the rights from auto mechanic John P. Thompson. The patents were then granted directly to Phillips. Cheers!
The actual standard on how much fluid goes between the Low and the High on the mark on the dipstick depends on your specific car. According to the owner's manual for my car "Adding Engine Oil Quantity 0.7 gt (0.7 L) The quantity of engine oil required to raise the indicated level on the dipstick from minimum to maximum." My advice after looking at this information is to check your owners manual before doing anything you find elsewhere.
Thanks for the comments Lukas, apologies for being general with our statement regarding the dipstick reading. Most manufacturers use the 1 liter/quart for the designation between hash marks. Not sure what vehicle you have but it may be one of the few that don't follow that protocol. Cheers!
@BradleysGarage As a 17-year-old who has enjoyed doing any sort of fix-it and DIY projects. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comments and thinking everything through before making any sort of blanket statement (blanket statements are usually over-generalizations of complex things with many different variables which you are good at avoiding from what I know about you). Before ending this comment my vehicle that I am talking about is a 2017 ford focus se with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine and a DPS6 transmission.
Watched all three videos, really good and educational. I think when the young guy called his car, 'Korean Kia garbage.' I think maybe he was embarrassed by the amount of oil changes required. Just keep up with the oil changes. They are cheaper than a new engine.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the videos. He was definitely embarrassed. hence the reason he left his sunglasses on. Hopefully he has learned the importance of routine maintenance moving forward and will continue to take car of his car. We will stay on him to change his oil every 3k miles, even if we have to stand over him each time. Cheers!
Good thing this Kia has a basic DOHC engine without camshaft phasers or a turbocharger cuz both of those have screen filters that would have clogged up with that much sludge that was present 3 videos ago. Both the 17' Focus I traded in and my 22' Maverick don't have dipstick tubes, so those engines are harder to read the dipstick. Always check for the old oil filter gasket before putting the new filter on and the first thing that should be loosened should be the filter, not the drain plug. That way if you can't remove the filter, you can choose to have a mechanic take the filter off. Lastly, I use new oil on the new filter gasket.
Thanks for the comments Aaron, it's also better that it's an MPI engine instead of the GDI. We will keep tabs on it for the next 3k miles and post an update. Cheers!
Hahaha....are you going to take the oil filter to mc donald? It's good to know that the owner of the car want to learn on how to change the oil on his own. Kudos to Bradley also for his guidance and coaching. We all started to learn from others who are welling to teach us.
Thanks for the kind words Orlando, we will keep tabs on him and make sure he continues to take care of he car. We fee confident now that he know what needs to be done. Cheers!
It was a little painful for us to go through this video. We were not sure what to expect so we just threw him in the deep end and started filming. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will keep tabs on it moving forward and make sure the oil gets changed every 3k, at least for now. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
We had a great time "teaching" Jake how to take care of his car. He still needs a little guidance but he is making progress. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
Glad you are enjoying the series. You may be right on the number of oil changes. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. So we have done double that at this point....LOL. Cheers!
Appreciate the feedback, it's a dollar item so we just change them out. What happens if you keep reusing the old one is you end up over torqueing it to get a good seal. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
I"'m sorry but I didn't have the patience to watch the first 12 minutes of the belly pan removal. The rest of the video was great! I also enjoyed watching part 1 and 2 of this series. The amount of time, effort and knowledge put into the videos is greatly appreciated. I hope you continue updating us in future videos the condition of the engine as it accumulates more mileage.
Thanks for the comments Jose, it was painful for us to watch him try to remove it in person as well. It's always wild to see these young kids try to work on stuff. They just don't have any hand/tool skills, which makes it tough. We just wanted to try to help Jake learn the basics of taking care of his car moving forward. We will continue to keep tabs on this little Kia to see how it's performing. Thanks again for hanging out, glad you enjoyed the video series. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words John, appreciate the feedback. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance moving forward. Cheers!
Nothing agai st this kid's dad or if he ever had one, but I love seeing a father teach a kid how to do "basic dude stuff". I have 9 kids & 5 boys as well as dealt with severe chronic health issues for the last 25 years so sadly I wasn't able to give all my kids not just my boys as many of these lessons (& time working together) as I had envisioned or would have loved to. It's never too late to teach your kids basic vehicle maintenance & whike raising them with the MI diet & skillet late is better than never!
Unfortunately his Dad doesn't know anything about cars either, hence the reason why he thought taking it to Jiffy Lube was a good idea. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will keep trying to educate the youth any chance we get. Someone is always reaching out asking us for something regarding their cars. Happy to help guide them and teach them the basics at the very least. Cheers!
Ward, I think you were a little hard on the BEAVER!!! Man, THAT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH!!! I will say something. My deddy gave me my 1st truck. A 1984 Ford Ranger. I was 16 and did my 1st oil change. I did the EXACT thing you told him to check when putting the oil filter on. I left the old oil ring gasket on. I worked right up the road from my parents house and I went out for my break one time and saw some oil under the truck. I called home and my deddy abd older brother came and got it. Took it back to the house and they discovered it. My brother told me from then on to take and pull the oil ring so that way you know you got it!!! It happened once..... ONCE!!! 😂 Goodluck to him and hopefully he will learn and do it himself. Good video man!!
Thanks for the comments, we had to give him a hard time after all the work we did. Especially when he thought he knew the right answers and he didn't. Happy to educate these young kids on the basic stuff everyone should be taught. Unfortunately, if they didn't grow up in a household that knows car stuff, then they just rely on whatever information is out there or what they may here. We will keep tabs on this one and make sure he follows through with the future routine maintenance. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage this motor for many more miles. Cheers!
I have to prep my filter housing so I take that off first, then drain the pain and prep the housing with a new o-ring and filter while it drains. I never pre-fill, no need. I started changing my own oil 15 years ago after Jiffy Lube cross-threaded my plug and stripped my pan.
Thanks for sharing, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue.

Please try Valvoline restore and protect I'd love to see if it actually works, thanks for the series guys! How long was it really before the first oil change on this channel?
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation. Cheers!
I've actually been through this with my 91 Volvo that sludged up during the pandemic. Not from failure to change it but from using non synthetic and never getting it hot. I did similar things. Because it had over 300K miles I changed the rod bearings while the pan was off. Whats key here is the first flush then drop and clean the pan, then the next oil change in 500 miles or less. In my case it was the next change after another 3000 miles before it all cleaned up nice. I also found some metal in the sludge but clearly that was from being trapped in 30+ years of sludge. Anyway my point for the comment is to confirm, yes you need to take all these steps to have any hope of saving the engine.
LOL, I can relate to your teaching of this young grasshopper 🤣. I'm the same way with my nephews, SMH! If I ever run into this issue, I think I'll go with BG Dynamic Restoration. Yes, it's $300, but it works out to be almost the same, give or take. No need to pre-clean, 8+ oil/filter changes, gas, and time-it's done in one shot in just a few hours. Awesome stuff👍🏻
Thanks for the recommendation Johnny; we will definitely check out that product for our next Sludge Factory project. Hopefully Jake has learned the importance of routine maintenance moving forward. We will keep tabs on things to make sure the little Kia is running good. Cheers!
The only way this kid learned his lesson is if he paid full price for all the parts and hours it took to fix it. Otherwise, it's just like a YT "short" for him (a quick snippet of information). No pain, no gain.
Thanks for the comments JP, he's paid for all the parts needed for all these videos. He was also there helping and learning throughout. We will keep tabs on things to make sure everything is running smooth and he stays on top of the routine maintenance. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
The "quick change" places are known for scams. They've not actually changed the oil, cross-threaded plugs, failed to properly tighten plugs and under-filled with oil. Many engines have died thanks to them. Do it yourself or take to a dealer so it's covered.
Thanks for the comments, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!
No, hot oil is better because more unwanted particles will be in suspension within the oil. Take those 5-15 mins to simply wait for the oil to drain out fully.
It's been awesome to see under the valve cover 3-4 different times on this one! Great to see how clean things stay with 3k oil changes too. Makes me wonder if these things really need a high quality synthetic oil instead of whatever cheap stuff the quick lube places use?
We have no idea what type of oil the cheap quick change places use as we have never visited them. The price differences between conventional and synthetic these days are insignificant so it make sense to use fully synthetic on everything. Cheers!
Lots of critics here who write this young guy off as though he’s a hopeless idiot. I’m a retired teacher ((taught at a vocational school), and glad to see your encouraging replies to the naysayers. At least this kid showed up and got his hands dirty. My neighbor’s son is about the same age, and his dad is an excellent mechanic. But- it’s all he can do to get the kid to even CHECK his oil! Give Jake a little credit, huh? We all started somewhere, and none of are born knowing how. I’ve improved my automotive work over the years mostly by making bonehead mistakes and learning from them. I’ve changed my own oil thousands of times, and I STILL make a mess sometimes. Good on you, Jake- keep learning and don’t give up.
Thanks for the feedback, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will keep tabs on this little Kia and make sure Jake continues to take of the routine maintenance. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, the crazy part is that is where he has been taking it for the last 30k miles. Maybe that last guy was the one honest person they had working there. Pretty sure he's not employed there anymore. 😎 Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, we are glad he put forth the effort. Even though he was a little cocky in the beginning, it was clear he still has some things to learn. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Ski, I think we might start cutting oil filters open to just see what's inside. That was our first peek inside one so we're not sure what to expect. Good news it seems like it's doing the job and filtering out those small particles floating around the engine. We will continue adding the MMO for the next few oil changes to see if we continue to wash out more debris. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
If you come across a stripped metal fastener that you need to undo. You can take any sort of hack saw, position the hack saw on the exact center of the head of the bolt, and saw away until you can put a penny upside down and see no hair directly connected to Abe Lincoln's FOREHEAD in the groove you cut out of the fastener with your hack saw. Once you have done EVERYTHING listed above CORRECTLY you should be able to take any flat head screwdriver, turn the fastener whichever way loosens the fastener (usually lefty loosy and righty tighty though if that does not work just try turning it right to see if it loosens to make sure you eliminate any possibility of the bolt having reverse threads before doing anything else that takes any extra time), if what I said in the ()'s does not work try using a lubricant called WD-40 by spraying enough WD-40 to cover every visible part of the bolt with a coat of WD-40 and let it sit for 15-30 minutes (or however long the instructions on the can says to wait) before undoing the bolt.
@@BradleysGarage This was something I taught myself after having a very hard time getting out a very already rusted/stripped out screw. The only part I learned online was the hacksaw part (which means that all credit on the hacksaw use goes to chrisfix
Lol! Good video! Surprised Jake didn't take off his sunglasses there under the car to see more. That oil filter opener is cool - I didn't know they had those... I'll have to get one! Yeah, something tells me he will never do another video with you again, or do another oil change on his own either! ;) Lots of good curb surfing scrapes on the bottom of that front bumper cover... hmmm.... I'll be waiting for the upcoming rad repair video! Anyways - good video there and congrats to him for doing the oil change! No scraped knuckles so there is a win! :) PS - Would you mind putting in a link or telling me the model # for your torque wrench? Looks like a Craftsman. Thanks!
Thanks for the comments Rick, we told him to take off the sunglasses but I think he might still be a little embarrassed from the first two videos. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he follows through with the next 3k mile oil change. Here are the links for the older Craftsman torque wrenches we are using. We just bought a second 3/8" one to have in the truck. I didn't even realize Sears.com was still around but we got the wrench in a few days, brand new in the plastic wrap.

OMG Bradley you are super patient with your buddy. He is definitely a millennial that hid in his mama's basement playing videogames. A garage would have definitely charged well over a grand to do this work and it would not have been half as good. WOW he didn't care if there was some oil that spilled onto your driveway - ungrateful much...
Thanks for the kind words Lee, we are always trying to help out the younger generation. Even if he didn't show his appreciation on camera, he is grateful that we were able to get this cleaned up. Hopefully we have done enough to keep this little Kia running for many more miles. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Alex, glad you enjoyed the video. We kept telling him, try to keep the language clean, we are filming here. At this point in the video, after numerous slip ups, we just couldn't stop laughing. The 20 something year old kids are too much, they just don't listen very well. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
on my channel currently working on a 2013 kia forte with 80k miles this video really help me out with mine and what steps to take to get it fixed. thanks

Well, it's probably his first car and I guess no one told him about car maintenance. Can't really blame the guy if he didn't know better. At least he took it to you when told to at Jiffy Lube and I'm sure he'll maintain it properly from now on. When I took my driving classes decades ago, the instructor actually taught me all about car maintenance while I drove slowly through the course. I think we had about 10 hours of one-on-one classes in the car so there was a lot of time to chat. On the other hand, my motorcycle driving instructor didn't tell me anything. Because he doesn't sit pillion while you ride so there's no opportunity to chat 😂. So I ended up riding a 2-stroke bike without putting in 2T oil for a year before a friend noticed and taught me about it.
Thanks for the comments, hopefully Jake now understands the importance of routine maintenance on his car. We just wanted to help this young kid out since no onw in his family has any automotive knowledge. Hopefully it continues to run for many more thousands of miles. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Jonathan, there seems to be a lot of debate online on whether or not to prefill the oil filter. We did fill it up on the second video, but let Jake do his thing on this update. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
@@DG-Choc We are used to our Euro cars that use a cartridge style filter so it's not normal for us to be filling up oil filter prior to assembly. This Kia engine makes it really easy to prefill the oil filter so it's not a bad idea. Cheers!
It seems like he was still embarrassed to show 100% of his face after going through the first 2 videos and seeing all the comments about him. We couldn't believe he was under the car with them on, it was hilarious. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance moving forward. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Thanks for the tip, we have tried to use creepers in the past and end up just sliding all around whenever trying to remove any bolts. It's just faster for us to lay on the ground and get things done. Cheers!
After seeing this, there's absolutely no way he's changed that oil at all beforehand. Oil from the factory, at 60K 😬 Glad to see a young guy learning how to change oil, not that I have much faith he will actually do this on his own lol.
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period.

We spent too much time and energy to let this go to waste. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments Tomas, that is a very good question. We haven't had that valve cover off in over 20 years. We will have to make a video where we adjust the valves just so we can take a peek inside. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
That undertray, is that really needed? If you remove and don't put it back, so the next oil change would be easy to change oil and avoid any hassles. Can he do that?
Thanks for the question Orlando, it is designed to run on the car at all times. Typically the undertray ties in with the fender liners and holds all the plastic pieces tight. While on some cars you could run without it, the manufacturers have it there for cooling and aerodynamic purposes. Some of them are a little tedious to remove but after a couple oil changes you will have it off in no time. Jake had never done it before so it was very new to him. In addition, he's not very mechanically inclined so that too added some time as well. Cheers!
in the final part you was about to slap him in the face ahahahah you guys killing me, so funny but the way i following you from italy, you said in the previous video that is a friend of your son? i hope your son know how to do oil change than ahahha
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Both of my sons have learned how to perform all the basic maintenance stuff many years ago. The more projects we work on the more they keep learning. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
What's the compression test say? Yeah you need to try out the valvoline restore and protect and show us the valve covers and bottom end to see if the varnish is gone after 3k miles. And also test the compression before and after 3k.
Thanks for the comments, we checked the compression in the previous video. You can see that info here - ruclips.net/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/видео.htmlsi=P40Tzl3YxDPJFhrP&t=143 Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage I saw that video, but I was hoping to see the difference now that it's all cleaned up 3k miles later. But again, how about using restore and protect from valvoline? This seems like the perfect engine to test that oil on since there seems to be a stand still for the varnish on the top end. Like the before and after looks the same for the last 3k miles. And you've definitely got plenty of before and after pictures of the bottom end as well. If it actually does what it says and removed "100 percent of deposits within 4 oil changes" that should mean higher compression and no varnish on the top or bottom end. I'm running it on my own engine but I unfortunately don't have much to go on cause I didnt take the valve cover off. I did inspect it from the fill cap though.
Thanks for the comments, those are classic. We can only imagine the people they hire at Jiffy Lube to change oil. It's not even a $100 to change oil there so who knows what they are using. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, we are confident he will stay on top of his maintenance moving forward. It seems he has learned the error of his ways and knows what needs to be done. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
It is a LOL video. 👍 to the owner to show his technical skills 🤫. I really hope he learned to not neglect oil changes and go to real mechanic to do so. I also like that still there was dirt in the filter after all the work in part 1 & 2.
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback. We are also hopeful that he continues to take care of his car. We will keep tabs on him to make sure it gets done. Cheers!
3 videos of changing and cleaning sludge from a motor for your sons friend, and making him do it himself. He should be grateful for your patience. I sure wish I had that much time on my hands to do stuff like this.
Thanks for the comments Mark, we just wanted to help educate this young kid so he would not be reliant on Jiffy Lube moving forward. Hopefully he now understands the importance of routine maintenance and more importantly be able to change his own oil. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
@@markflanagan9187 Neither! I just know how long this would take. I would have it done in an hour but they have to film it which takes longer and teaching someone takes longer.
Thanks for the question GT, it's a little tough to see in the video. Anywhere between the two lines is ok but the FULL mark is the upper line. After a fresh oil change we wanted it to be right at the line so we would be able to tell if there is any oil consumption. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, we plan on checking that oil out on the next 3k mile oil change. We have heard good things about over the past couple months. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, it is recommended to replace each oil change. What can happen over time is you end up overtightening it to prevent leaking. It's designed to "crush" at the factory torque setting. If it is already crushed, then you will exceed that torque value in order to get a proper seal. Cheers!
Better use a oil pump will be easy to change his oil ... Again need to go down and change the oil filter... I believe this KIA motor saved and has only 60K
Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into one of those extraction systems. As you could tell Jake had quite a time taking off the under tray. That is the worst part of the job. We are not sure why Kia didn't make a small access window so you could change the oil/filter without needing to remove the entire trays. Cheers!
We will stay on top of things and make sure he follows the new maintenance intervals. We want to be certain it is not using any oil or develops any issues. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
He's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will continue to monitor things and help guide him with the routine maintenance. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
That annoy the hell out of me if he was supposed to watch the video and didn't even bother. Also did anyone ever get him to confess how long it had really been since his last oil change? We know it was more than 6000 miles.
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation. Cheers!
Explain to Jake that oil is cheap and engines are expensive. It’s better to change your oil early than to wait. If you intend to keep a car for up to 300,000 or possibly lot lot more. It can be done by changing your oil and a closer intervals. All modern car use synthetic oil. I look for deals. Usually I gravitate towards Pennzoil ultra platinum. Royal purple, if I can get it on sale. Or Amsoil. There is a new Valvoline oil specialty for cleaning up the sludge like you did on this car. That might be something someone might use occasionally to keep his Engine clean. About 100 miles before each oil change I and about 1 ounce per quart of oil of seafoam to the crank case. Marvel mystery oil treatment is also a good method for cleaning the engine that has been properly maintained. If you can’t find Marvel mystery oil, a quart of transmission fluid will do essentially the same thing.
Thanks for the tips Jeff, we are currently adding MMO with each 3k mile oil change. Based on cutting open the oil filters, we are still catching debris so we will continue until that becomes clean. Wouldn't to try our Seafoam on the next oil change though. We posted the 3k mile update video if you haven’t checked it out yet - ruclips.net/video/QrJ0B-KXTw0/видео.html Cheers!

Hopefully he has learned enough to change his own oil moving forward. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Put 4 in, start engine, wait for oil pressure to come up, turn off, check level. Not sure what people unlucky enough to buy a car with no dip stick do.
There are a lot of new cars these days with no dipstick. It is all electronically controlled so it's important to get pretty close on the initial fill. Cheers!
This is the problem that Hyundai/Kia created for themselves with their warranty. They sold the cars due to it, sure, but they bred a group of owners that think that because they have a long warranty they don't have to do anything to the car. Combine that with a few engines that didn't have a great design to begin with and long recommended intervals, and it's no wonder that their shops are full of cars needing replacement engines.
Thanks for the comments Kyle, that 10 year/100k warranty makes people think you can just drive the car for 10 years and never do anything. Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like. He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period.

Jake had L Rizz when it came to chaning his oil. He paid the Fanum Tax will all the sludge. Hopefully he will now be a sigma when it comes to oil changing.
Thanks for the comments Lucas, hopefully he now understand the importance of routine maintenance. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he follows through with the next oil change interval. Cheers!
We are not a fan of the creepers, we end up just rolling around in the driveway and not having any leverage. We will have to keep killing the back until we can build our garage. Cheers!
Thanks for the comments, we will keep tabs on him during the oil changes. Since we are doing it every 3k miles for now, he will get lots of experience doing it himself. We will just hang back and watch him work. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Having watched all 3 videos (especially this one), I am now not surprised by the oil sludge found in this car.
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the videos. Hopefully Jake has learned something from this experience and will stay on top of his routine maintenance moving forward.

lol ya exactly
@@TerdisLesezchuan why come the oil changes aint free
Got a chuckle out of this. Some kids want to know how to do everything on cars, some just don’t care.

Hopefully he can perform his own oil changes moving forward.
Cheers!
Maybe he'll truly appreciate what you did for him later on down the road. Loved all three vids

This is so strange since i was watching my dad change the oil since I was 5 or 6 years old. I'm nearly 50 now and still change my own oil since I'm the only one I trust to do it right. I don't enjoy auto work, but after I had a brake caliper fell off my old truck 5 minutes after I got off the interstate I do as much as I can yo make sure it's done right.

Lot of kids didnt have parents that taught them. Some didnt even have parents in their lives
@@ciello___8307 Our dad had no interest in car stuff... so we learned to do oil changes via trial and error.
He kept an eye on us... even if he didn't change oil himself.
Always feel for those who never had a dad... even worse if both parents are not there.
🙂
P.S. Dad was an orphan and mum spent time in an orphanage when her mum couldn't look after her for a short time. That affected them both greatly.
@@ciello___8307 I was raised by a single mom and I only had two sisters. I was self taught before the days of internet. I got a Haynes manual, and a cheap socket set when I bought my first car and taught myself. I have never taken any of my cars to a shop in the last 30 years of driving. If you want to learn, you will!
I'm 100% self-taught, I can't rebuild an engine or anything crazy like that, but I've changed a lot of auxiliary parts on my 99 Mirage. She's at 237k and going. I keep three tool bags in the trunk, and for good reason. You never know when you'll need them! Keep a flashlight, a headband light, jacks, sockets wrenches, all the fixins.
Super great he is learning how to change oil. My Dad says you stop learning when your dead. LOL

@@LoopBooost yeah you make a good point. I’m 45 and a couple of my high school buddies who are mechanics have bad knees or backs from 20+ years of wrenching. The trades are good careers but can be taxing on health for sure.
It's not easy. It's a real pain in the ass actually, extremely messy and basically a pointless time waste. And you end up with a load of oil that you gotta get rid of. Horrible.
Required?? No!

I agree! He seemed to be more interested in being funny than actually putting forth some serious effort into learning how to do everything correctly. The way he constantly interrupted Brad during instruction says a lot. If he was serious about learning, he would've watched the 1st & 2nd videos at least once a day over the course of a week or so instead of 'pulling an all-nighter to cram for a test the next day' so to speak. And there are so many oil change videos from so many other content creators out there, he really doesn't have an excuse. Oh well, jiffy lube all you want, homie! Not all oil change shops are exactly trustworthy, either. It's his car. Not mine.

Don't put on the undertray until you have refilled and started the car.
That way you can easily verify whether you have any leaks or not.

I have been involved in auto mechanics since I was 13, my father got me interested, change oil, spark plugs, brakes, shocks, etc... I took auto shop in H.S. 1,2,3,4,5,6. It is more of a passion for me to mod my vehicles and work on it myself. I have no faith in anyone working on it. When I was 13 I took my fathers lawn mower apart without permission, LOL and honed the cylinder some, new rings, put it back together and it ran fine for many years.

The actual standard on how much fluid goes between the Low and the High on the mark on the dipstick depends on your specific car. According to the owner's manual for my car "Adding Engine Oil Quantity 0.7 gt (0.7 L) The quantity of engine oil required to raise the indicated level on the dipstick from minimum to maximum." My advice after looking at this information is to check your owners manual before doing anything you find elsewhere.
Thanks for the comments Lukas, apologies for being general with our statement regarding the dipstick reading. Most manufacturers use the 1 liter/quart for the designation between hash marks. Not sure what vehicle you have but it may be one of the few that don't follow that protocol.
Cheers!
@BradleysGarage As a 17-year-old who has enjoyed doing any sort of fix-it and DIY projects. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comments and thinking everything through before making any sort of blanket statement (blanket statements are usually over-generalizations of complex things with many different variables which you are good at avoiding from what I know about you). Before ending this comment my vehicle that I am talking about is a 2017 ford focus se with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine and a DPS6 transmission.
Watched all three videos, really good and educational.
I think when the young guy called his car, 'Korean Kia garbage.' I think maybe he was embarrassed by the amount of oil changes required.
Just keep up with the oil changes. They are cheaper than a new engine.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the videos. He was definitely embarrassed. hence the reason he left his sunglasses on.

Good thing this Kia has a basic DOHC engine without camshaft phasers or a turbocharger cuz both of those have screen filters that would have clogged up with that much sludge that was present 3 videos ago.
Both the 17' Focus I traded in and my 22' Maverick don't have dipstick tubes, so those engines are harder to read the dipstick. Always check for the old oil filter gasket before putting the new filter on and the first thing that should be loosened should be the filter, not the drain plug. That way if you can't remove the filter, you can choose to have a mechanic take the filter off. Lastly, I use new oil on the new filter gasket.
Thanks for the comments Aaron, it's also better that it's an MPI engine instead of the GDI. We will keep tabs on it for the next 3k miles and post an update.

Ward, I think you were a little hard on the BEAVER!!! Man, THAT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH!!! I will say something. My deddy gave me my 1st truck. A 1984 Ford Ranger. I was 16 and did my 1st oil change. I did the EXACT thing you told him to check when putting the oil filter on. I left the old oil ring gasket on. I worked right up the road from my parents house and I went out for my break one time and saw some oil under the truck. I called home and my deddy abd older brother came and got it. Took it back to the house and they discovered it. My brother told me from then on to take and pull the oil ring so that way you know you got it!!! It happened once..... ONCE!!! 😂 Goodluck to him and hopefully he will learn and do it himself. Good video man!!
Thanks for the comments, we had to give him a hard time after all the work we did. Especially when he thought he knew the right answers and he didn't. Happy to educate these young kids on the basic stuff everyone should be taught.

I have to prep my filter housing so I take that off first, then drain the pain and prep the housing with a new o-ring and filter while it drains. I never pre-fill, no need. I started changing my own oil 15 years ago after Jiffy Lube cross-threaded my plug and stripped my pan.

I've actually been through this with my 91 Volvo that sludged up during the pandemic. Not from failure to change it but from using non synthetic and never getting it hot. I did similar things. Because it had over 300K miles I changed the rod bearings while the pan was off. Whats key here is the first flush then drop and clean the pan, then the next oil change in 500 miles or less. In my case it was the next change after another 3000 miles before it all cleaned up nice. I also found some metal in the sludge but clearly that was from being trapped in 30+ years of sludge. Anyway my point for the comment is to confirm, yes you need to take all these steps to have any hope of saving the engine.
Thanks for sharing Dave, it was more of a mess than we had anticipated. Hopefully we have done enough to salvage the motor.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage Well mine was far worse if you can believe that so I think you have. Fingers crossed for all of us.
LOL, I can relate to your teaching of this young grasshopper 🤣. I'm the same way with my nephews, SMH! If I ever run into this issue, I think I'll go with BG Dynamic Restoration. Yes, it's $300, but it works out to be almost the same, give or take. No need to pre-clean, 8+ oil/filter changes, gas, and time-it's done in one shot in just a few hours. Awesome stuff👍🏻
Thanks for the recommendation Johnny; we will definitely check out that product for our next Sludge Factory project.
Hopefully Jake has learned the importance of routine maintenance moving forward. We will keep tabs on things to make sure the little Kia is running good.
Cheers!
The only way this kid learned his lesson is if he paid full price for all the parts and hours it took to fix it. Otherwise, it's just like a YT "short" for him (a quick snippet of information). No pain, no gain.
Thanks for the comments JP, he's paid for all the parts needed for all these videos. He was also there helping and learning throughout. We will keep tabs on things to make sure everything is running smooth and he stays on top of the routine maintenance.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
🎯
The "quick change" places are known for scams. They've not actually changed the oil, cross-threaded plugs, failed to properly tighten plugs and under-filled with oil. Many engines have died thanks to them. Do it yourself or take to a dealer so it's covered.
Thanks for the comments, that is why we perform all of our own maintenance on all our cars. We do not trust anyone to work on our cars, regardless of the issue. One way or another we will figure out to get it repaired. Cheers!
You take a chance either way. The quick lube places can have inexperienced help, dealers attract dishonest mechanics.
No, hot oil is better because more unwanted particles will be in suspension within the oil. Take those 5-15 mins to simply wait for the oil to drain out fully.
Thanks for the comments, these young kids are always in a rush.
Cheers!
It's been awesome to see under the valve cover 3-4 different times on this one! Great to see how clean things stay with 3k oil changes too. Makes me wonder if these things really need a high quality synthetic oil instead of whatever cheap stuff the quick lube places use?
We have no idea what type of oil the cheap quick change places use as we have never visited them. The price differences between conventional and synthetic these days are insignificant so it make sense to use fully synthetic on everything.
Cheers!
Lots of critics here who write this young guy off as though he’s a hopeless idiot. I’m a retired teacher ((taught at a vocational school), and glad to see your encouraging replies to the naysayers. At least this kid showed
up and got his hands dirty. My neighbor’s son is about the same age, and his dad is an excellent mechanic. But- it’s all he can do to get the kid to even CHECK his oil! Give Jake a little credit, huh? We all started somewhere, and none of are born knowing how.
I’ve improved my automotive work over the years mostly by making bonehead mistakes and learning from them. I’ve changed my own oil thousands of times, and I STILL make a mess sometimes. Good on you, Jake- keep learning and don’t give up.
Thanks for the feedback, he's just a 20 something year old kid that doesn't know anything about cars or what is needed to keep them running properly. He helped with the repair so he wants to learn and understand things.
Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance on his car moving forward. We will keep tabs on this little Kia and make sure Jake continues to take of the routine maintenance.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Bradley this is my recommendation I think if you ever need some help go find that guy at jiffy lube I think he has potential
Thanks for the comments, the crazy part is that is where he has been taking it for the last 30k miles. Maybe that last guy was the one honest person they had working there. Pretty sure he's not employed there anymore. 😎
Cheers!
We all started somewhere fyi. Kudos for trying at least
Thanks for the comments, we are glad he put forth the effort. Even though he was a little cocky in the beginning, it was clear he still has some things to learn. Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
Oh man, that filter had tons of crap in it! I'd probably be changing the filter itself every 1000 miles between reg oil changes....whewwwwww....wow
Thanks for the comments Ski, I think we might start cutting oil filters open to just see what's inside. That was our first peek inside one so we're not sure what to expect.
Good news it seems like it's doing the job and filtering out those small particles floating around the engine.
We will continue adding the MMO for the next few oil changes to see if we continue to wash out more debris.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
If you come across a stripped metal fastener that you need to undo. You can take any sort of hack saw, position the hack saw on the exact center of the head of the bolt, and saw away until you can put a penny upside down and see no hair directly connected to Abe Lincoln's FOREHEAD in the groove you cut out of the fastener with your hack saw. Once you have done EVERYTHING listed above CORRECTLY you should be able to take any flat head screwdriver, turn the fastener whichever way loosens the fastener (usually lefty loosy and righty tighty though if that does not work just try turning it right to see if it loosens to make sure you eliminate any possibility of the bolt having reverse threads before doing anything else that takes any extra time), if what I said in the ()'s does not work try using a lubricant called WD-40 by spraying enough WD-40 to cover every visible part of the bolt with a coat of WD-40 and let it sit for 15-30 minutes (or however long the instructions on the can says to wait) before undoing the bolt.
Thanks for the comments Lukas, appreciate the tips.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage This was something I taught myself after having a very hard time getting out a very already rusted/stripped out screw. The only part I learned online was the hacksaw part (which means that all credit on the hacksaw use goes to chrisfix
Bro he’s actually hilarious
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers!
Lol! Good video! Surprised Jake didn't take off his sunglasses there under the car to see more. That oil filter opener is cool - I didn't know they had those... I'll have to get one! Yeah, something tells me he will never do another video with you again, or do another oil change on his own either! ;) Lots of good curb surfing scrapes on the bottom of that front bumper cover... hmmm.... I'll be waiting for the upcoming rad repair video! Anyways - good video there and congrats to him for doing the oil change! No scraped knuckles so there is a win! :) PS - Would you mind putting in a link or telling me the model # for your torque wrench? Looks like a Craftsman. Thanks!
Thanks for the comments Rick, we told him to take off the sunglasses but I think he might still be a little embarrassed from the first two videos. We will keep tabs on him to make sure he follows through with the next 3k mile oil change.
Here are the links for the older Craftsman torque wrenches we are using. We just bought a second 3/8" one to have in the truck. I didn't even realize Sears.com was still around but we got the wrench in a few days, brand new in the plastic wrap. The latest ones are $209, so we got these at half the cost. Plus the new ones can only go down to 20 ft. lbs. (vs. 5 ft. lbs.) which is quite high for a 3/8" torque wrench to be versatile.
Be sure to jump on your order by 6/17 to get the extra 10% off!

Great great video man I love the care u took for this engine I’m definitely subscribed
OMG Bradley you are super patient with your buddy. He is definitely a millennial that hid in his mama's basement playing videogames. A garage would have definitely charged well over a grand to do this work and it would not have been half as good. WOW he didn't care if there was some oil that spilled onto your driveway - ungrateful much...
Thanks for the kind words Lee, we are always trying to help out the younger generation. Even if he didn't show his appreciation on camera, he is grateful that we were able to get this cleaned up. Hopefully we have done enough to keep this little Kia running for many more miles.
Cheers!
14:15 😂 dude this is funny but good stuff sir
Thanks for the comments Alex, glad you enjoyed the video.
We kept telling him, try to keep the language clean, we are filming here. At this point in the video, after numerous slip ups, we just couldn't stop laughing.
The 20 something year old kids are too much, they just don't listen very well.
Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
When he later said “these gloves….will be the death of me”, I applauded his restraint and decorum.
Was looking forward to this one.
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers!
on my channel currently working on a 2013 kia forte with 80k miles this video really help me out with mine and what steps to take to get it fixed. thanks
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Be sure to check out the original video if you haven't seen it - ruclips.net/video/XU79jXYWydA/видео.html
And the initial follow up video here - ruclips.net/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/видео.html
Cheers!
Well, it's probably his first car and I guess no one told him about car maintenance. Can't really blame the guy if he didn't know better. At least he took it to you when told to at Jiffy Lube and I'm sure he'll maintain it properly from now on.
When I took my driving classes decades ago, the instructor actually taught me all about car maintenance while I drove slowly through the course. I think we had about 10 hours of one-on-one classes in the car so there was a lot of time to chat.
On the other hand, my motorcycle driving instructor didn't tell me anything. Because he doesn't sit pillion while you ride so there's no opportunity to chat 😂. So I ended up riding a 2-stroke bike without putting in 2T oil for a year before a friend noticed and taught me about it.
Thanks for the comments, hopefully Jake now understands the importance of routine maintenance on his car. We just wanted to help this young kid out since no onw in his family has any automotive knowledge.
Hopefully it continues to run for many more thousands of miles.
Cheers!
Gotta fill that new filter with fresh oil
Thanks for the comments Jonathan, there seems to be a lot of debate online on whether or not to prefill the oil filter. We did fill it up on the second video, but let Jake do his thing on this update.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Interesting note. Never heard of this. Makes me think of my Toyota w 100k+ that has the oil filter on topside of the engine pointing downward. Hmm
@@DG-Choc We are used to our Euro cars that use a cartridge style filter so it's not normal for us to be filling up oil filter prior to assembly.
This Kia engine makes it really easy to prefill the oil filter so it's not a bad idea.
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage Appreciate the follow up.
Poor Jake all of us old men have physically threw his sunglasses into a nuclear furnace 😂
It seems like he was still embarrassed to show 100% of his face after going through the first 2 videos and seeing all the comments about him. We couldn't believe he was under the car with them on, it was hilarious. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson on the importance of routine maintenance moving forward.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
I prefer to use a creeper when changing oil...makes moving around to remove 20 torx screws easier.
Thanks for the tip, we have tried to use creepers in the past and end up just sliding all around whenever trying to remove any bolts. It's just faster for us to lay on the ground and get things done.
Cheers!
I park mine on a slight down slope. The ramps make it level.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers!
After seeing this, there's absolutely no way he's changed that oil at all beforehand. Oil from the factory, at 60K 😬
Glad to see a young guy learning how to change oil, not that I have much faith he will actually do this on his own lol.
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like.
He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation.
We will make sure he stays on top of the oil changes moving forward. We spent too much time and energy to let this go to waste.
Cheers!
Hi, Bradley. What about that vintage Bimmer, how is it going under its valve cover?
Thanks for the comments Tomas, that is a very good question. We haven't had that valve cover off in over 20 years. We will have to make a video where we adjust the valves just so we can take a peek inside.
Thanks again for hanging out.
Cheers!
That undertray, is that really needed? If you remove and don't put it back, so the next oil change would be easy to change oil and avoid any hassles. Can he do that?
Thanks for the question Orlando, it is designed to run on the car at all times. Typically the undertray ties in with the fender liners and holds all the plastic pieces tight. While on some cars you could run without it, the manufacturers have it there for cooling and aerodynamic purposes. Some of them are a little tedious to remove but after a couple oil changes you will have it off in no time. Jake had never done it before so it was very new to him. In addition, he's not very mechanically inclined so that too added some time as well.
Cheers!
in the final part you was about to slap him in the face ahahahah you guys killing me, so funny but the way i following you from italy, you said in the previous video that is a friend of your son? i hope your son know how to do oil change than ahahha
Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Both of my sons have learned how to perform all the basic maintenance stuff many years ago. The more projects we work on the more they keep learning.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
What's the compression test say? Yeah you need to try out the valvoline restore and protect and show us the valve covers and bottom end to see if the varnish is gone after 3k miles. And also test the compression before and after 3k.
Thanks for the comments, we checked the compression in the previous video. You can see that info here - ruclips.net/video/XFsHnrt0l3w/видео.htmlsi=P40Tzl3YxDPJFhrP&t=143
Cheers!
@@BradleysGarage I saw that video, but I was hoping to see the difference now that it's all cleaned up 3k miles later. But again, how about using restore and protect from valvoline?
This seems like the perfect engine to test that oil on since there seems to be a stand still for the varnish on the top end. Like the before and after looks the same for the last 3k miles.
And you've definitely got plenty of before and after pictures of the bottom end as well. If it actually does what it says and removed "100 percent of deposits within 4 oil changes" that should mean higher compression and no varnish on the top or bottom end.
I'm running it on my own engine but I unfortunately don't have much to go on cause I didnt take the valve cover off. I did inspect it from the fill cap though.
Now I know why Kwik Lube charges $100. Cuz they have the Plus-Sign screwdrivers and McDonalds Cups
Thanks for the comments, those are classic. We can only imagine the people they hire at Jiffy Lube to change oil. It's not even a $100 to change oil there so who knows what they are using.
Cheers!
you guys do good quality work.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!
If he’s smart, he’ll come back with you 😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the comments, we are confident he will stay on top of his maintenance moving forward. It seems he has learned the error of his ways and knows what needs to be done. Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
It is a LOL video. 👍 to the owner to show his technical skills 🤫. I really hope he learned to not neglect oil changes and go to real mechanic to do so. I also like that still there was dirt in the filter after all the work in part 1 & 2.
Thanks for the comments, appreciate the feedback. We are also hopeful that he continues to take care of his car. We will keep tabs on him to make sure it gets done.
Cheers!
Auto shop class 1&2 which is the basics in a community college at night would help him.
Thanks for the comments, we will pass them along to Jake.
Cheers!
3 videos of changing and cleaning sludge from a motor for your sons friend, and making him do it himself. He should be grateful for your patience. I sure wish I had that much time on my hands to do stuff like this.
Thanks for the comments Mark, we just wanted to help educate this young kid so he would not be reliant on Jiffy Lube moving forward. Hopefully he now understands the importance of routine maintenance and more importantly be able to change his own oil.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!
Wasn't that much time! Maybe an hour or two every few weeks.
@@seeya205 are you the son or the friend?
@@markflanagan9187 Neither! I just know how long this would take. I would have it done in an hour but they have to film it which takes longer and teaching someone takes longer.
How you suppose to read that oil meter? Cause I thought it's suppose to be between the two lines and not the whole plastic part?
Thanks for the question GT, it's a little tough to see in the video. Anywhere between the two lines is ok but the FULL mark is the upper line. After a fresh oil change we wanted it to be right at the line so we would be able to tell if there is any oil consumption.
Cheers!
Use Valvoline Restore & Protect to remove deposits.
Thanks for the comments, we plan on checking that oil out on the next 3k mile oil change. We have heard good things about over the past couple months.
Cheers!
No boots under rear wheels so the car does not accidently roll back ? Hoping for the brakes ?
The ramps have a nice cradle and the e-brake was set. But it doesn't hurt to add a block for the rear tires as well.
Cheers!
I have NEVER replaced the crush washer on my car. I have never had any problems not replacing one.
Thanks for the comments, it is recommended to replace each oil change. What can happen over time is you end up overtightening it to prevent leaking. It's designed to "crush" at the factory torque setting. If it is already crushed, then you will exceed that torque value in order to get a proper seal.
Cheers!
Better use a oil pump will be easy to change his oil ... Again need to go down and change the oil filter... I believe this KIA motor saved and has only 60K
Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into one of those extraction systems. As you could tell Jake had quite a time taking off the under tray. That is the worst part of the job. We are not sure why Kia didn't make a small access window so you could change the oil/filter without needing to remove the entire trays.
Cheers!
This video doemstrates why fathers need to be in their son's lives.
Thanks for the comments, we are just trying to help educate these young kids. Hopefully we have done enough to help him moving forward.

5 bucks says he never pops the hood release ever again.
We will stay on top of things and make sure he follows the new maintenance intervals. We want to be certain it is not using any oil or develops any issues.
Thanks again for hanging out, Cheers!

Thanks for hanging out, Cheers!
That annoy the hell out of me if he was supposed to watch the video and didn't even bother. Also did anyone ever get him to confess how long it had really been since his last oil change? We know it was more than 6000 miles.
Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like.
He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation.
Cheers!
Explain to Jake that oil is cheap and engines are expensive. It’s better to change your oil early than to wait. If you intend to keep a car for up to 300,000 or possibly lot lot more. It can be done by changing your oil and a closer intervals. All modern car use synthetic oil. I look for deals. Usually I gravitate towards Pennzoil ultra platinum. Royal purple, if I can get it on sale. Or Amsoil. There is a new Valvoline oil specialty for cleaning up the sludge like you did on this car. That might be something someone might use occasionally to keep his Engine clean. About 100 miles before each oil change I and about 1 ounce per quart of oil of seafoam to the crank case. Marvel mystery oil treatment is also a good method for cleaning the engine that has been properly maintained. If you can’t find Marvel mystery oil, a quart of transmission fluid will do essentially the same thing.
Thanks for the tips Jeff, we are currently adding MMO with each 3k mile oil change. Based on cutting open the oil filters, we are still catching debris so we will continue until that becomes clean. Wouldn't to try our Seafoam on the next oil change though.
We posted the 3k mile update video if you haven’t checked it out yet - ruclips.net/video/QrJ0B-KXTw0/видео.html

Put 4 in, start engine, wait for oil pressure to come up, turn off, check level.
Not sure what people unlucky enough to buy a car with no dip stick do.
There are a lot of new cars these days with no dipstick. It is all electronically controlled so it's important to get pretty close on the initial fill.
Cheers!
This is the problem that Hyundai/Kia created for themselves with their warranty. They sold the cars due to it, sure, but they bred a group of owners that think that because they have a long warranty they don't have to do anything to the car. Combine that with a few engines that didn't have a great design to begin with and long recommended intervals, and it's no wonder that their shops are full of cars needing replacement engines.
Thanks for the comments Kyle, that 10 year/100k warranty makes people think you can just drive the car for 10 years and never do anything. Hard to know exactly how many miles since the last oil change but definitely seems like way more than 6k miles. We are thinking more like 12-15k miles sine the last oil change based on what the internals look like.
He has had it since around 30k and claimed to have changed the oil 4-5 during this period. I'm sure the cheap oil changes at Jiffy Lube did not help the situation.
