Hmm i need to try this but ive been wondering why my 87 5.0 mustang sounds weird, it sounds like and old engine out of an f150 it kinda knocks but not too loud, yeah i know f150s had the 5.0 as well but it just sounds like my car should not be sounding like that oh and it has 30k miles on the engine it got rebuilt 3 years ago.
@ivan199120 head ajustment need too be set!! when the value cover is of you can here the tick sound!! i ajusted mind!! runs great!! simple stuff god bless!! p.s. change your oil and filter and flesh you block!! with new annifreeze peace!!!!
I work in the trade and myself and I see, While a lot of people change their oil at regular intervals there are many who do not, which in turn builds up sludge in their motor. A new oil change will not get rid of sludge already built up from lack of maintenance, and the new oil filter will collect it, and the next and so on. Unless you do it on regular intervals.
Its like brushing your teeth ,if you only do it once a day instead of after every meal it's gonna cost you in the long run.
Looks like some sly ass quick lube half oil change to me. At 250,000 I still bring my 94 GMC k-1500 with a 350 to the dealer. Their oil changes may cost a dollar more but I know the folks there and they do it right. If the weather is nice I will do it myself. Then I fucking know for sure its done right.
Mixing synthetic oil and regular oil is a huge no no.Will sludge up and I have seen this.Pulled the oil pan off a GM 3800 in a Pontiac Bonneville full of sludge.The owner whom is my father's friend did this,poured in a quart of synthetic oil with the regular oil during every oil change.
Thank you for uploading your videos, they're really helpful. I work in my cars, but I'm a part swapping type of guy, most of the problems I can fix, but when it came to electrical or fuel injection problems I get stock diagnosing the problem. But your videos had thaught me a lot. Thank you again.
what is your opinion on the belief some people have that when you are running fully synthetic oil you can just change the filter and add a quart instead of replacing all of it when you need an oil change?
Flushing engine oil galleries is good but risky, and absolutely no driving. Risk is, that some sludge that is released from other point, gathers into next point, and can block that oil canal. It can cause one bearing wear or seize anywhere in the engine. I recommend to let the procedure done by professionals. However, flushing is not necessary, when using good quality oil and changing it in time. I drive -80's car which has a rally car engine, and I use best esther based synthetic.Change 5000km

Hey Dwayne, what do you think about those engine flush products? I would have just flushed the engine a couple times in 1000 mile intervals or so, and then go back to the regular schedule. I've heard some people use kersone as flushing agent too. Sludged up oil is usually a result of infrequent oil change intervals, poor intake air filtration, blow-by, or improper pcv system routing.
I have no doubt that filter was in there longer then that. I could be wrong. I would like to see the follow up vid. I bet they were not a regular and prob never came back for the follow up LOF.
besideds the fact the my car has stalled out while idle, it runs good and I don't hear any wierd noises fromt he engine. I also changes the transmission fluid and filter too. ( I know that might not be releavent to my problem but I am just stating everything I did just in case it might be.)
My 2001 Monte Carlo 3.4 engine has been acting a little wierd on me, stalling out when idle (not often though) and shaking a bit while idle too. I changed the oil and oil filter. I did wait a little over the 3,000 mile mark and the oil was pretty bad. AFTER I changed the oil and filter my car started showing a "Low Oil Prssure" light at idle, but when I drive it the light goes off. I changed the oil switch and it is still showing the light at idle. Do you think it's the oil pump?
I haven't driven it much because I am afraid the engine is not getting oil because the pump might be weak or not working and I don't want my engine to blow up on me. Like I said, the light is only displayed when at idle. I thought maybe I should run some cleaner through the oil so I did and changed both the oil and filter yet again, but the light still goes on. The only other 2 things it could be are the oil sensor or the oil pump. Anyone have any ideals that could help me out?
This is why I change my own oil and work on my vehicles myself. 2 years at Automotive Technology under my belt. I have quite a few vehicles. My work trucks (04 silverado-200k + 99 Blazer-235k) both still run like new because I do my own repairs/maintenance. Bottom line, if it something you can do with very little know how, spend an hour or two and learn (oil/belt/fuel filter/normal changes). DO NOT trust shady oil change places. You pay for new oil/oil filter..and only get the oil
jiffy lube oil change.... I have seen this many times where the customer is loyal to jiffy lube or others like it and they wipe off the filter, change the oil and say thanks, bye!
That might be the problem on my jeep. Cause I just changed the oil and filter a couple of months ago. My oil pressure light comes on. I'll try ghat thanks.
Who really cares if the filter has been changed or not,, the point here is low oil pressure can be caused by something other then the oil pump and to gather evidence.. great video. Just bought a high mileage truck 2001 yukon XL 5.3 vortec with similar symptoms, I'll be changing the oil and inspecting the filter before I make any assumptions about the pump now. Thanks
Is it the fact that the customer used synthetic oil for the last oil change and it has stripped the inside of the engine ? Iknow synthetic oil is more detergent and it caused it maybe.
If you ever look at pictures detailing the inner construction of Fram filters, you will see that they are very cheaply constructed in comparison to WIX and Purolator. Fram used glued-on cardboard ends instead of metal and rather flimsy filter medium.
I'm thinking the same as Dmorley100, the owner of this truck was changing the oil but not the filter. Wether wal-mart did it or he did it himself is a different question...Who knows??..As far the brand goes i don't think it makes a big difference as long as the oil is changed when it's supposed to be changed
Are you sure that oil filter's only been on that motor for a couple of months. I ain't doubtin your word, but since it's a Fram oil filter, I gotta wonder if they've been gettin it changed at Wal-Mart and they've been drainin the oil out, puttin new oil in, and not changin the filter. That sounds like some crooked stuff that Wal-Mart would do.
@dmorley100 Yeah, there is no way that happened in two months.
Sounds like someone is lying. Either the oil change shop was skipping out of changing the filter or the owner just changed the oil but not the filter after the engine began making sounds.
@dmorley100 I have to agree. That filter is way too dirty to only be in there a few months, especially when compared to the 6 month filter. Has to be a drain and reinstall on the filter
@dmorley100 Walmart uses super tech filters, but definitely correct. They removed a skid plate from my mother's Ford Escape and held on to it.. stingy bastards
It came from elsewhere in the engine, such as under valve covers, under the intake manifold, in the oil pan,anywhere oil tends to sit and not be pumped under pressure.
All that sludge is from oil changes done too infrequently or possibly blowby-contaminated oil.
so if the filter had only been in there a couple months, where did all that sludge come from... is that a combination of years of cheap oils then a high quality one that has that "gunk removing" stuff in it?

@carlosxyz1981 Thats completely normal. Oil will thicken as it cools, so when it warms up, the oil will be thinner, creating less pressure.
