    Just found this. I have several comments,
    1st- No axle stands! if you don't have them put the spare wheel under one front wheel, jack seals can fail suddenly.
    2nd - Use a cheap, thicker grade of oil such as a mineral 15W-50 or 20W-50 to allow for the reduction in viscosity caused by the Diesel fuel.
    3rd- IMPORTANT. Premix the Diesel with the oil before you add it to the engine.
    4th- Don't use 50/50 mix. The resulting oil/fuel mix will be too thin to lubricate bearings with some wear in them, and a worn oil pump will not generate enough pressure. 20% Diesel to 80% oil is more than sufficient, as long as you use a thick oil, even 10%- 90% works OK, see 2nd point above. Also this means you don't need to flush the engine again with pure oil as there will be hardly any residual diesel in the engine after draining the flushing mixture. Just add the new oil (after changing the filter, see 6th point).
    5th- If you have to use a 5W30 oil only put 10% Diesel in, it still works.
    6th- After draining the old oil, replace the oil filter then run the flush which will fill the new filter with a lot of flushed gunk. Then dump this, drain the flushing oil and put another new filter in.
    How do I know? well I have done this procedure many times and got it wrong once which resulted in ruined big ends and main bearings in an older engine. Lesson learned!

      Do you start the engine at all and let it run? New to this - sorry if that's a dumb question. Anything missing in this guide that a noob would flat out not understand? Doing this to my 2018 Dodge Ram and don't want to mess it up, lol.

      @@sirnicholibraden86 Hi, not a dumb question. I must have not made it clear. So here is the procedure.
      1) Drive the vehicle a few miles with the old oil in to get it hot.
      2) Drain the oil and replace the filter.
      3) Fit new filter and fill with flush mix.
      4) Run the engine for at least 15 minutes but don't drive it (because modern engines are more sensitive to lubrication under driving loads, think turbos etc.) Rev the engine to about 3000 a few times to make sure all the galleries and parts, e.g. hydraulic lifters, get properly washed.
      5) Drain the flush mix and replace filter.
      6) Fill with new oil.
      I hope this has covered everything. Let me know if not.

      @bimble7240 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@beamtweez1210 Not sure why you want to use ATF instead of diesel. In any case don't use both. Don't use more than 20% diesel and add it to a 15W-40 or 10W-40 cheap mineral oil. I wouldn't drive it, just leave at fast idle (2000-3000 revs) per my previous answer, but if you have an older lazy (low output, large capacity) OHV engine it may be OK but don't let the engine slog. Keep the revs up in a lower gear to maintain good oil pressure). If your crank bearings and big ends are worn I wouldn't try driving it as the thinner oil mixture will leak out faster and oil pressure may drop.

    When I lived back in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 I worked at a gas station ⛽️. I used to change car oil and motorcycle 🏍 oil A lot of the guys always asked me to pour diesel into their bikes engine, which I did, the ran it for about a min or two. Flushed it out then put oil. The engine was always kept nice and clean. I don’t remember ever doing on cars tho’ 🚗. What I was asked to do was to wipe that chasis underneath the cars with Diesel to prevent corrosion, the cars I did that to never had any corrosion and it the chasis was always nice and clean.

    Now it runs super smooth without any ticking

  • @davekauffman8727
    @davekauffman8727 6 лет назад +35

    Diesel fuel is safer than kerosene to flush an engine with, Diesel fuel has paraffin wax added to lubricate the injection pump and injectors, so it is less likely to cause a spun bearing or other failure due to the extremely thin fluid.

    1) Someone else already mentioned the use of jack stands! or you could use wood or stone blocks with the jack still in place as a back up.
    2) Never add diesel separately as it is too thin and you washed the oil off the bearings and lifters. when you start the engine, you will not have a consistent oil to diesel ratio until it fully mixes during the cycles through the engine. So pre-mix your oil and diesel and then add to the engine!

    toyota engines were known to have a sludge issue. the pcv system clogs frequently and therefor yields significant carbon deposits in the oil. I would actually do this every oil change just to be sure.
    if you are only idling the vehicle and only running it for 20min...there should be no issue...unless there is already an issue.
    seafoam openly says to do this with their product. they say you can't add too much. that's what I did and I had to replace an engine because, and I opened up the engine, their were significant deposits of carbon flakes that clogged the oil passages.

    With diesel engines, some of them allow for up to 10% diesel in the oil due to DPF regens. I'd be a little worried about the oil being too thin by putting any more than that into any engine, particularly with the thin oils that go in them. Probably safer to put 10% diesel in a week before an oil change.

    You could be the next home DIY car maintenance statistic of a failed trolley jack for not using any axle stands. I've seem a guys life less crushed body after he climbed under his pride and joy for just a minute (so, it was assumed, chose not to put up any kind of backup safety supports). His trolley jack was less than a year old from purchase and hadn't been much used. It's possible he hadn't fully closed it when he divided under the vehicle and it suddenly just bled down on it's hydraulics without any warning... Working alone wasn't a good idea either.

      Yes, your oil should be black when you change your oil, that is because the cleaning agents in your oil breaking down the sludge!! If your oil comes out of your engine the same color as the day you put it in, you need to change oil brands!! Most modern oils have cleaning agents in them! :) I always use Valvoline cause it has cleaning agents and my engines always stays clean. Changing your oil at the recommend intervals, will make your engine a Happy Engine!!

    At the risk of sounding extremely redundant seeing as how nearly every comment is someone telling you to use jack stands, I'm willing to make that sacrifice and I too am going to eco their advice, an engine clean enough to eat dinner from isn't going to profit a dead man, the seals on a jack blow out all the time, people walking by can trip over the jack handle, or children playing nearby can release the jack, my point is this, life has unexpected moments and when your life is solely dependant on everything going according to plan without any fail-safes in place you could easily pay for your oil change with your life be safe when working underneath a vehicle even if you can bench press 500 pounds you're not going to lift that car off of your chest if it falls, always use cinder blocks underneath the tires or buy jack stands find something to create a barrier between you and the car besides the jack just in case the jack fails or the unexpected happens.

Being crushed to death and feeling the air leaving leaving your lungs and not being able to breathe in while in pain is not a good way to go. Stop and think, they are cheap enough. Or you could also sit with legs under the car when it falls of the jack it will screw your legs up for life. Think is it safe?

    Dude.... You are not suppose to use more than a pint of any "flush" There is a reason for this. You still need oil for the bearings or you will ruin them. As for seals, some solvents will react and destroy them. If you are not sure check your solvent compatibility charts.

    • @vincentrobinette1507
      @vincentrobinette1507 2 года назад

      True, if you try to drive the car for several hundred miles. Unloaded for just a few minutes, you aren't putting enough point load on the bearings to exceed the film strength of the diluted motor oil. I'm more worried about the cam and lifters, if it's a flat tappet valve train. To protect that, keep the REV's up just a bit, with the engine unloaded.

    Hi! first of all I am happy to find you. I am using a Nissan Pickup truck. it has a 2.4L petrol engine with 4 cylinders. The oil starts to get a black colour just after 1000km of use. the oil I'm using is for 5000km use. if I use it until 5000km it gets really black as a diesel used engine oil. I asked some mechanics they said I should try an engine oil flush. My father told me to remove the used oil and to fill the engine with diesel. I was little scared to follow his advice as he was doing this like 30 years ago on some buses he was driving. I will sure try your method. I am really curious how the flush will work and what results I will get. thanks for the video

    • @JunkyDIYguy

      Good on you buddy,, like i said, only do it after a good inspection inside the engine as flushing a heavily sludge engine with VVT can cause severe malfunctions if they clogged up inside tiny oil lines/ galleys. but instead of using 50:50 u can up the ratio like 75% oil to 25%diesel if you want.

      diesel is like a lubricant and it doesnt evaporate easily like gas does, so its not gonna catch on fire because the engine cannot exceed high temperatures like 900c which is around what heat it takes for fuel, and diesel doesnt evaporate well, so thats the reason why diesel engines last for so long, they give lubrication to cylinders.

Hell, before the advent of modern biodiesel standard rubber o-rings were commonly used from the factory in diesel fuel systems. This method of engine flushing has been around as long as my dad can remember, and he has been around since 41.

      @axman300 2 года назад

      I am having the same problem, don't listen to people telling you that high pressure is good once it gets past a certain point it can severely damage your engine it will cause your oil filter to collapse in on itself and can blow out your seals, all vehicles have a relief valves somewhere usually in the oil pump, sometimes those can go bad and cause your pressure to go to High also you could just have blockage and it could be like your finger over a garden hose either one is bad for your engine

  • @jasperdomacena6491

    I use diesel as an engine oil flush agent, but not 100% diesel..
    it would be 70% diesel and 30% fresh oil
    had a done it on Small Gasoline Engined Water Pumps then Motorcycles then Cars!
    It works every time 🤷🏻‍♂️ never encountered a catastrophic breakdown..
    just drain the oil
    put the 70-30 mix in
    run the engine for about 5-10 minutes (with the engine already warmed up) give it a few revs
    for motorcycles it would be great if you would operate the clutch from time to time to also clean the clutch pads
    then drain it again for a few hours..
    then pour the fresh oil in 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • @brotang2953

    all you people saying it will block oil galleries are bulkshit. big flakes will stay in sump as can't be picked up by pump because the pump pickup has a gauze and is not right on the bottom of pan and the oil filter will catch all smaller particles prior to the galleries. impossible to block galleries that way.

  • @robpeters5204

    The best flush is use transmission fluid and engine oil. 4 litres of trans fluid and 1 litre of engine oil run for 20 minutes and drain. Replace with a new oil,filter and regular engine oil.

  • @dan_austin__873
    @dan_austin__873 6 лет назад +7

    Never flush an engine with anything but the specified oil!!! Your engine has residual assembly lube on the engine bearings, cams and crank. The engine oil sits on the assembly lube film. Flushing your engine will cause this film to be removed. Change your oil sooner, clean your pcv valve, check your exhaust recirculation valve, use oil based on summer and winter temps and maintain your cooling system.

    PEOPLE, don't do this. Diesel will eat up all of your rubber seals. Your valve seals, main cam seals, main crank seals, every o ring in your engine, every rubber part your engine has. Plus, diesel STICKS. It's hard to clean the diesel out after you're done with it. Do not clean engine internals with diesel unless it's hand cleaning with a sponge or something.

      @SirXyloid 7 лет назад +2

      2003evodave I actually do because I've been through it. Halfway through a head job I decided to give the Pistons a little clean with diesel. It cleaned the hell out of the carbon build up and all I used was a sponge from the kitchen. Not keep in mind I have a Subaru. It has a horizontally opposed engine. I didn't think the diesel would've got into my oil and antifreeze through the cooling and oil ports as I was cleaning, but it did.
      Without thinking too much of it, just like you guys, I turned my engine on after only topping all the fluids off and not flushing anything out.
      Now I have two leaking main seals, I'm leaking coolant somewhere and I can't find where, the thermostat gasket/rubber o ring was completely melted and gooey.
