Nah. Not on the little fleet vehicles.I do on the 6.7 powerstrokes. I usually do on my personal vehicle. But running test here lately so.i have to keep it the same til the next change.
The Amsoil flush is amazing. Changed the oil in a Coyote with 80k miles, ran it maybe 10 miles, then did the flush just like BFT advised and the oil that came back out looked like it had never been changed. Absolutely amazing product and another great tip from BFT! Thank you.
I did an experiment on my Ranger last weekend. I put new oil in it with a new filter, drove it a mile, and when I drained it it was was black too. I guess the bottle of flush is cheaper, but I had extra quarts of oil laying around. It's surprising how much oil doesn't drain out when we change it!!
I would like to say, I have seen people do multiple oil changes and even after a couple miles of driving the oil comes out pitch black. I know it sounds almost impossible, but if you are a mechanic I am sure you have seen this. To be fair, we would need to see a before and after to see how this flush works. Also to note, i dont doubt amsoil, ive been using it on all my cars for nearly 6 years.
See my post. Yes 10-20% of old oil remains in any modern engine. This causes the new oil to darken. Yes, the Bearded Ford Tech knows this. Been using Amsoil for 35+ years.
@BeardedFordTech wrong, it only takes a few ounces of oxidized, contaminated oil to make it look dark, and affect that new oil. In a average engine we are talking 16-32 ounces of old oil. Google "Perils of short volume oil changes" by a leader in Machinery lubrication business.
@tssci6774 there is not 10-20% left in the engine. Yes I know there is oil in there that mixes when you change it. The flush took out a lot of it is what this video was about. Literally went over this with lake speed jr who is a certified lubrication specialist and used oil analyzer. He's on my channel a lot. He was on livestream last night. Talking about different weights of oil.
As in did it run better and smoother? Yes it did. I'm soon going to be doing flush samples to see how much crap it takes out. Now if your engine has never been done and your slack on oil changes you may not feel a difference first time. It may take a few times.
When your 1 guart low ,add a guart of transmission fluid to your engine. Drive one or two thousand miles the longer the better. Do this as often as you want your engine will clean itself without any damage or excessive cost. Also one guart to ten gallons of gas will clean your injectors especially on a diesel.
No. Just dump it in. There's not enough in that bottle to really "ovefill" it's only a few ounces. Just dump in (after engine is warm) idle 15 min. Drain oil and change filter.
It also doesn't help that the manufacturer put a dip in the centre of the oil pan where old oil can't drain unless the front end of the vehicle is higher than the back to drain it all out.

@HiTechOilCo dude. Stop trying to sell me oil filters or get me to use them. I've been a dealer since 2012. I know all about their products. I even run a dual bypass system on the 6.7 powerstrokes. Your preaching to the choir about oil and filters. I appreciate you pushing the product cause it's number 1 in my book and I run it in everything. Including my fleet of 180 vehicles. Trust me I know. But the way these vehicles are run Im still changing filters often. We go 10k on changes. So it's not cost effective for my budget. We already ran the numbers. The motorcraft filter works just fine for 10k changes. If they were run like everyday normal people it would be different have a good night
Awesome content! Ty! Hey Sir, do you think a MotorCraft oil filter will perform the same if not better than OEM Honda oil filter on a 2013 Acura RDX? Thank you!
I finally did the oil change yesterday on our 13 RDX, and noticed the OEM Honda Filter was a little bigger than the MotorCraft filter. You think the MotorCraft may not perform as good as the OEM Honda filter?
Yeah, light-medium hydrocarbons are essentially the best solvent on hand for a flush. More techs should know more chemistry, it can save a lot of money and time just knowing some simple tricks such as: Like dissolves like and machine oil wants to turn back into tar through the forces of time and heat; this is why kerosene is just a great thing to have lying around the shop. Odorless lighter fluid is near the same thing as kero and also works fine for cleaning lots of stuff; though I've not been bold enough to literally flush an engine with lighter fluid, I've no reason to think that with the application of some sense it would turn out poorly. Definitely should have some fire extinguishers handy, however.
You did it for 15mins, question how long can it be left in before you "have to" change the oil? Can you drive the vehicle with the cleaner in it. Ie,,, can it be added the day before or a few hundred miles before?
Amsoil you put it in and idle for 15 min. Same with BG product. Seafoam you put in 500 milea before your oil change. It doesn't work as well. That's why they said 500 miles. But amsoil and BG is so strong you do not drive with it in there. Says it right on the bottle. Which I should have showed. Didn't think about it til just now. Very good question though.
@jedi-mic kerosene I guess you could say. Pretty close to that. Then mixed with the used oil,the used oil makes it smell more potent. I guess from the additives in the oil mixing with the flush. (Don't put kerosene in your oil as a flush if that's what your thinking)
Well. We run amsoil. And a sample after I did the flush would be oreillys so that's two different brands. Plus it would have engine flush in it. Unless we are just looking for contaminants and not additive pack. That would be cool.
@@BeardedFordTech It's probably a waste of time/money trying to do what I suggested. Thinking about it more, likely won't see much other than reduced viscosity and maybe increased soot/insoluble.

I always use a funnel when refilling with oil . Now they have the new screw in types , so convenient . Since it takes two hands to hold a 5 gallon jug of oil . I expect the engines I've seen with oil and gunk all over . Were because of never using one .
@peterrudy9207 screw type funnels aren't new. I was using those back in like 2010. They have been around for a while. I don't always use a funnel as you can see. All the diesels I have a drum with a gun on it. No funnel needed.
I did the Amsoil flush on My Raptor when I bought it. Had some moisture up in the oil cap. Got that and Everything else. Recently did a driver side valve cover. Due to the Crank case filter/baffle leaking from a crack. Holy cow it was spotless from Amsoil and 5k oil changes. Also on cold start with original phasers barely any rattle on cold start. 62k OG phasers. Tuned Stage 2 Cobb pro tune. No issues.
@@BeardedFordTech O for sure moisture is totally normal. I was just amazed that it managed to clean the under side of the cap 😆 she is fun! Very clean conservative tune, also have a TCM tune which has made the 10R80 shift like butter. I also recently did a Trans filter and fluid change and filled with Amsoil Signature Transmission fluid.
@@MobileFordTechJosh yeah its crazy how it cleans under the cap. I also have the amsoil signature series transmission fluid in my ranger transmission shifts very smooth. Very smooth.
Thats jiffy lube messing things up. I've never had one fail do a throttle body cleanings. Even have it on my livestream doing it when I worked at Nissan.
We use Amsoil all of vehicles all never had any issues. But I seen other shop use some type of throttle body cleaning on Nissan and some of Nissan dealer don't offer it on some of there vehicles. Up North Jersey@@BeardedFordTech
So amsoil doesn't use a neutralizer after the flush like BG???? I flushed my GDI engine before draining the old oil out. Just used a brake bleeder kit with my evacuation line ran down dipstick tube to draw out my oil sample first then added the BG flush ran at 1500 rpms for 20 minutes then drained. 😀 That oil drained had carbon pieces in it after 40,000 miles too.
Really your supposed to put it in before you drain the oil. I already drained it and saw the O'Reilly brand sitting there and was thinking to myself. I wonder what it would look like if I put new oil in and flush it. And that's the results. Thay engine wasn't very dirty. I have done some that had carbon pieces in it.
@billy2bob63 yeah I worked at a shop that would add that at every oil change. Cause they used cheap oil. I've had this conversation on livestreams with lake speed jr. If you need a conditioner or oil additive. You need a better oil. A good quality oil has all that in it already. BG is good stuff. As mentioned. The shop used the cheapest oil they could find and charged the customer for the good stuff. I can't do that. I had problems with that place.
Its nice to see Auto Technicians giving a honest chance to see if Ansoil really does stand up to there claims which are backed up by independent testing agencies. Since ive switched my vehicle over and allowed it over time to prove itself Amsoil really does stand out as superior to the rest and gives benefits none of the others have at all in my 42 years of driving and maintaining my vehicles. Performance, fuel economy, longevity, emission reduction gains and wear reduction. Oh and if your bold enough you will find out that if you do go the mileages they claim it does make it cheaper to buy the higher priced Amsoil Signature Series and do one or two oil changes a year rather than 3 to 5 of them. Yeah.
Indeed. I've been using it many many years. Even did used oil anaysis testing with different mileage. Check they out too. It's proof you can go further on changes.
@@BeardedFordTech just wish I could get Ford Boss Me and ARod to learn this because all though I'm not a dealer just a preferred customer the benefits Im realizing with it's use is something to definitely share with everyone which is the Business model Amsoil was founded with word of mouth and independent dealers are customers who became dealers to help the rest of the public realise those benefits too.
Yep. Dark doesn't always mean bad. Means the oil is doing its job. However if you flush it and it's Dark. That's all the stuff it cleaned out. I know you already know this. I'm sure it runs better right?
Sorry, I meant the throttlebody cleaning not the flush the flush you’re good for some reason on the Nissan when you try to do the throttlebody cleaning is short out a sensor for the ECM
I worked at Nissan and did a bunch of throttle body cleanings. I've done throttle body cleanings on a few of these in the fleet. Never has it shorted anything out. Jiffy lube just doesn't know what they doing. And people really need to stop going there. Also Nissan had a recall for a failed throttle body on some of the altimas
I love seeing people put the Mercury Villager 3.3L Motorcraft filter on Nissan engines. It's probably better than most current OEM NIssan filters. Older Nissan filters were built like tanks. If you want to see one, you can order one for a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.
I've been using Amsoil for 35 years, great stuff, never had an oil or sludge, wear. related problem in any engine or transmission. Based on the numerous comments, a lot viewers believe this flush actually did something. It didnt. I am an electrical, mechanical engineer, worked in the auto service industry, and started rebuilding engines in 1984. The flush is simply mineral spirits and some group1 base oil. Unless your engine is filled top to bottom with sludge, it will not have any affect. 10-20% of old oil remains in modern engines and you know that. All it takes is 1/4qt of old, sooty oil to make the new oil that dark. Had you opened that filter, you would have no sludge in it. Last year, I tried multiple engine flushes, including Amsoil. I flushed the engine 2x with clean oil, running it 15 min each time. I sampked the oil for analysis. I put the engine flush in, ran it for 30 minutes, drained it and sampled it again. The engine had 190k miles, there was visible varnish, and hard sludge under the cam cover. Oil analysis showed no addition particulates, carbon, varnish, or anything else. The filter also showed no contaminents. Only in extreme cases will these flushes help. Doing a clean oil flush, several oil changes in a year will definate help, is much safer, and the new oil will be able to clean and protect much better. Here is a great article discussing the perils of short volume oil changes. www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/31012/short-volume-oil-changes
It cleaned some of the varnish. I never said it cleaned sludge. I never said the engine had sludge. And yes I k ow there is still old oil in the engine. I've done a lot of research on oil. I'm also friends with the owner of speed diagnostix which is a used oil analysis company. We have been over this many many times. It depends on how you drive and operating g conditions for how far you can go. If you have been using amsoil for so long. Then please don't come on here bashing saying a product did nothing about cleaning g sludge etc etc when the word sludge was never used. This was literally me having a bottle of fresh oil laying g around looking at a bottle of engine flush I had sitting there wondering how dark the oil would be after 15 min. Obviously I know it would be dark. But I wanted to see how dark. If any carbon deposits came out stuff like that. Just an experiment. By far not an actual test.
@@BeardedFordTech varnish is baked on residues of oxidized oil and contaminates. Anyone who has rebuilt engines knows it requires high pressure and chemical baths such as hot tanks to remove or physical abrasive contact. Sludge on the handle can be remove often with solvent rinses. You never mentioned varnish in the video and only pointed to the obviously dark oil that it supposedly works. Amsoil makes an superior oil, but the additives such ad PI and Flush are mostly worthless.
Why didn;t you use the Amsoil filter instead of the Motorcraft? The Amsoil filter is superior to the Motorcraft. The number for the Amsoil Filter of r this application is a EA15K12 and is designed for extended service lift. For those that do not know, modern oil filter testing is not judged by micron size. but it is a time/weight test to calculate the amount of contaminants being removed while is service. The old filtration method of micron size is what caused filter to plug up and run with the bypass flowing dirty engine oil.
I know what number it is. And I stated below why I didn't use one. Because I ran out. Hard to use them if I didn't have any. I have a lot of the motorcraft ones. Motorcraft filters do just was well with amsoil. I've tested three different kind. Amsoil, purolator boss, motorcraft. Allnhad the same results. Doesn't use micron rating? Is thay why amsoil tells you the filtering capacity by mjcronnrating. Even for the bypass system? Micron rating is used in modern oil filter testing. You can even ask lake speed jr the motor oil geek. We have been over this. We talk microns a lot
@@BeardedFordTech There’s a site on YT called Brand Ranks that does some interesting oil filter testing. Purolator Boss and Amsoil are the best tested and ranked oil filters based on his testing process. Check it out and see what you think. Motorcraft is ranked 14th on the list. Would be interested in your thoughts on their testing methods. I jump back and forth between the PurBoss and Amsoil filters. Great video BTW!!
Engine builders and lubrication specialists warn against using any type of engine flush. Will take several oil changes to get it all out as it will negatively affect the lubrication package in the oil to be used.
So lake speed jr said to use it and he's a lubrication specialist. As long as you follow the directions. We are actually in the process of doing an experiment with it.
I've used between Amsoil and Liqui-Moly engine flushes since 2013 . Every 5000 miles and have not encountered any issues with their use . Oil never comes out black , but golden like pancake syrup and able to see through it has it drains . I let the oil drain for at least an hour each time .
@@BeardedFordTech I say the most effective (not the cheapest), Because as you know part of the oil's job is to hold contaminants "in suspension", An oil that is completely discoloured (petrol car), has a significantly reduced ability to to do that. So instead of the contaminants "becoming part of the oil", They will just be pushed around to somewhere else (hopefully to the sump... hopefully).
I recommend using a rubber mallet instead of the palm of your hand, as well as using an oil filter removal tool, This will reduce RSI issues later in life :-)
I have plenty of oil filter tools. The JM3 ones. You should check them out www.jm3oilfilterwrench.com. I really didn't want to walk across the ship to get them.
Looks like the Amsoil engine flush did its job. I had to back up the video to make sure my ears and eyes weren't deceiving me. Try as you might, installing a Motorcraft filter on a Nissan won't make a difference. You'll still be stuck with a Nissan in the end. How do I know? I installed used Motorcraft wiper blades off of a Raptor on the GMC pickup. The next morning I still had a GMC pickup. I did however have a clear windshield when it rained. 🙂🙂
@carlmcdonald5864 you must not like driving very far. You know with all the cvt issues. That's cool though. Ford's don't want you in them anyway. Move along now.

This was just experimenting. You don't do it this way. You put it in let it run for 15 min and change the oil and filter then off you go. There's a reason seafoam has you drive like 200-300 miles. Cause it sucks and doesn't work. You have to use a lot of it multiple times.
There are two types of engine flushes. 1. Solvent based 2. Detergent based Solvent based flushes are inexpensive and are not designed to liquefy sludge and hold it in suspension. Many engines have been blown up by adding solvent based flushes and as a result large chunks of sludge break loose which stop the oil pump pickup tube up and loosing oil pressure. Any flush that reeks of a kerosene smell has a solvent formulation. Detergent based flushes are designed to liquify sludge and hold it in suspension in the oil until it is drained out. Many detergent flushes are intentionally designed to work slowly over time to prevent the possibility of the oil pickup stopping up. Amsoil and Liqui-Moly use a detergent based formulation. I have used them both and I think it Amsoil flush has a slight edge over Liqui-Moly. In my shop I have seen an increased need for periodic flushes because of customers who follow the oil life monitor. 10-12K mile oil changes are not a good idea for customers using whatever bulk oil that the shop uses.

@user-oy1uv7zz7r kind of an overkill. No need to flush every time. Especially if you run amsoil engine oil. I wouldn't do it just saying. Technical department is not the same as lubrication specialist and used oil analyst
@user-oy1uv7zz7r try www.speediagnostix.com better readings. Blackstone uses out of date testing. They are a good company don't get me wrong. Buck speediagnostix is much easier to read and understand. It's all color coded. And there is no tbn number. That number means nothing. That's what I mean by old out of date testing. You don't need a ton number. You need an oxidation value. That's what matters. Check out my livestreams with him. Then make a decision. Have a great night.

@peterrudy9207 screw type funnels aren't new. I was using those back in like 2010. They have been around for a while. I don't always use a funnel as you can see. All the diesels I have a drum with a gun on it. No funnel needed.
@@BeardedFordTech ok
why not use an amsoil filter
Cause I didnt have any. I just ordered a case of them for these vehicles
I did the Amsoil flush on My Raptor when I bought it. Had some moisture up in the oil cap. Got that and Everything else. Recently did a driver side valve cover. Due to the Crank case filter/baffle leaking from a crack. Holy cow it was spotless from Amsoil and 5k oil changes. Also on cold start with original phasers barely any rattle on cold start. 62k OG phasers. Tuned Stage 2 Cobb pro tune. No issues.
Very nice! Very nice. Moisture is normal under the cap on a 3.5 ecoboost though. That's truck sounds bada$$
@@BeardedFordTech O for sure moisture is totally normal. I was just amazed that it managed to clean the under side of the cap 😆 she is fun! Very clean conservative tune, also have a TCM tune which has made the 10R80 shift like butter. I also recently did a Trans filter and fluid change and filled with Amsoil Signature Transmission fluid.
@@MobileFordTechJosh yeah its crazy how it cleans under the cap. I also have the amsoil signature series transmission fluid in my ranger transmission shifts very smooth. Very smooth.
How is it going BFT? Great video
It's going. How are you? Thanks 😁
We’ve repaired quite a few Nissans when they take them to a Jeffy lube or a quick lube, and they offer them the throttle body cleaning
Thats jiffy lube messing things up. I've never had one fail do a throttle body cleanings. Even have it on my livestream doing it when I worked at Nissan.
We use Amsoil all of vehicles all never had any issues. But I seen other shop use some type of throttle body cleaning on Nissan and some of Nissan dealer don't offer it on some of there vehicles. Up North Jersey@@BeardedFordTech
Do Amsoil do a Engine flush for Diesels.
I have. Just not on video. I can do one on the next service I do.
@@BeardedFordTech
Thanks 👍
@canaryinacoalmine8746 your welcome. Results won't be like this. Oil gets dirty quick in a diesel. But I'll definitely do it for you
So amsoil doesn't use a neutralizer after the flush like BG????
I flushed my GDI engine before draining the old oil out. Just used a brake bleeder kit with my evacuation line ran down dipstick tube to draw out my oil sample first then added the BG flush ran at 1500 rpms for 20 minutes then drained. 😀
That oil drained had carbon pieces in it after 40,000 miles too.
Really your supposed to put it in before you drain the oil. I already drained it and saw the O'Reilly brand sitting there and was thinking to myself. I wonder what it would look like if I put new oil in and flush it. And that's the results. Thay engine wasn't very dirty. I have done some that had carbon pieces in it.
BG neutrilizes after like a hour on its own.
@@maxpain7197 I believe amsoil does too. I'll have to look more into that.
Yea I was wrong it's a BG conditioner that you add with the oil.
@billy2bob63 yeah I worked at a shop that would add that at every oil change. Cause they used cheap oil. I've had this conversation on livestreams with lake speed jr. If you need a conditioner or oil additive. You need a better oil. A good quality oil has all that in it already. BG is good stuff. As mentioned. The shop used the cheapest oil they could find and charged the customer for the good stuff. I can't do that. I had problems with that place.
Damn BFT that bench top has taken a real beating 😮 you work harder than I do man 💪🤯
Yhats. Step lol. Noy. Bench top. But yeah its taken a beating
Where's the Amsoil filter? Should have upgraded that too.
@@rogerbaron9514 didn't have any for this vehicle. Have them for the rest of the fleet
@@BeardedFordTech Bummer
@rogerbaron9514 yeah I only have like 2 of those Nissan NV 200's. And they take a different filter
Its nice to see Auto Technicians giving a honest chance to see if Ansoil really does stand up to there claims which are backed up by independent testing agencies. Since ive switched my vehicle over and allowed it over time to prove itself Amsoil really does stand out as superior to the rest and gives benefits none of the others have at all in my 42 years of driving and maintaining my vehicles. Performance, fuel economy, longevity, emission reduction gains and wear reduction. Oh and if your bold enough you will find out that if you do go the mileages they claim it does make it cheaper to buy the higher priced Amsoil Signature Series and do one or two oil changes a year rather than 3 to 5 of them. Yeah.
Indeed. I've been using it many many years. Even did used oil anaysis testing with different mileage. Check they out too. It's proof you can go further on changes.
@@BeardedFordTech just wish I could get Ford Boss Me and ARod to learn this because all though I'm not a dealer just a preferred customer the benefits Im realizing with it's use is something to definitely share with everyone which is the Business model Amsoil was founded with word of mouth and independent dealers are customers who became dealers to help the rest of the public realise those benefits too.
@@Jon-O.Good luck boring through FBMs thick skull. Dude's opinions are hard coded.
Amsoil products are top tier, why would you use a motorcraft oil filter instead of an Amsoil oil filter?
Cause I don't have amsoil filters for the Nissan. Only my f450s and tahoes
@@BeardedFordTech good deal, I use Amsoil products in all my vehicles and nothing else. Good video 👍🏻
I’ve done this with some of my trucks, very amazing!
Indeed!
Did an engine flush on my daughter's 2006 Ford 500. Man was it dark. Can't hurt.
Yep. Dark doesn't always mean bad. Means the oil is doing its job. However if you flush it and it's Dark. That's all the stuff it cleaned out. I know you already know this. I'm sure it runs better right?
@@BeardedFordTech yep
Sorry, I meant the throttlebody cleaning not the flush the flush you’re good for some reason on the Nissan when you try to do the throttlebody cleaning is short out a sensor for the ECM
I worked at Nissan and did a bunch of throttle body cleanings. I've done throttle body cleanings on a few of these in the fleet. Never has it shorted anything out. Jiffy lube just doesn't know what they doing. And people really need to stop going there. Also Nissan had a recall for a failed throttle body on some of the altimas
Hey thanks for letting me know, I'll keep my eye out when for your videos and thank you for taking the time on update on Nissan. 😃 @@BeardedFordTech
I love seeing people put the Mercury Villager 3.3L Motorcraft filter on Nissan engines. It's probably better than most current OEM NIssan filters. Older Nissan filters were built like tanks. If you want to see one, you can order one for a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.
I've seen them. I worked at Nissan. And they apparently now only take 2 filters. 1 for the car. 1 for the truck.
I've been using Amsoil for 35 years, great stuff, never had an oil or sludge, wear. related problem in any engine or transmission. Based on the numerous comments, a lot viewers believe this flush actually did something. It didnt. I am an electrical, mechanical engineer, worked in the auto service industry, and started rebuilding engines in 1984. The flush is simply mineral spirits and some group1 base oil. Unless your engine is filled top to bottom with sludge, it will not have any affect. 10-20% of old oil remains in modern engines and you know that. All it takes is 1/4qt of old, sooty oil to make the new oil that dark. Had you opened that filter, you would have no sludge in it. Last year, I tried multiple engine flushes, including Amsoil. I flushed the engine 2x with clean oil, running it 15 min each time. I sampked the oil for analysis. I put the engine flush in, ran it for 30 minutes, drained it and sampled it again. The engine had 190k miles, there was visible varnish, and hard sludge under the cam cover. Oil analysis showed no addition particulates, carbon, varnish, or anything else. The filter also showed no contaminents. Only in extreme cases will these flushes help. Doing a clean oil flush, several oil changes in a year will definate help, is much safer, and the new oil will be able to clean and protect much better. Here is a great article discussing the perils of short volume oil changes. www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/31012/short-volume-oil-changes
It cleaned some of the varnish. I never said it cleaned sludge. I never said the engine had sludge. And yes I k ow there is still old oil in the engine. I've done a lot of research on oil. I'm also friends with the owner of speed diagnostix which is a used oil analysis company. We have been over this many many times. It depends on how you drive and operating g conditions for how far you can go. If you have been using amsoil for so long. Then please don't come on here bashing saying a product did nothing about cleaning g sludge etc etc when the word sludge was never used. This was literally me having a bottle of fresh oil laying g around looking at a bottle of engine flush I had sitting there wondering how dark the oil would be after 15 min. Obviously I know it would be dark. But I wanted to see how dark. If any carbon deposits came out stuff like that. Just an experiment. By far not an actual test.
@@BeardedFordTech varnish is baked on residues of oxidized oil and contaminates. Anyone who has rebuilt engines knows it requires high pressure and chemical baths such as hot tanks to remove or physical abrasive contact. Sludge on the handle can be remove often with solvent rinses. You never mentioned varnish in the video and only pointed to the obviously dark oil that it supposedly works. Amsoil makes an superior oil, but the additives such ad PI and Flush are mostly worthless.
That Amsoil engine flush really does the job. Very impressive
Indeed it does. I've used it many times. But never with fresh oil. I just wanted to see.
I'd like to see a before and after flush of the valve cover and oil pan.
I can probably do a valve cover on the little transit service vehicle. When i get some down time.
Why didn;t you use the Amsoil filter instead of the Motorcraft? The Amsoil filter is superior to the Motorcraft. The number for the Amsoil Filter of r this application is a EA15K12 and is designed for extended service lift. For those that do not know, modern oil filter testing is not judged by micron size. but it is a time/weight test to calculate the amount of contaminants being removed while is service. The old filtration method of micron size is what caused filter to plug up and run with the bypass flowing dirty engine oil.
I know what number it is. And I stated below why I didn't use one. Because I ran out. Hard to use them if I didn't have any. I have a lot of the motorcraft ones. Motorcraft filters do just was well with amsoil. I've tested three different kind. Amsoil, purolator boss, motorcraft. Allnhad the same results. Doesn't use micron rating? Is thay why amsoil tells you the filtering capacity by mjcronnrating. Even for the bypass system? Micron rating is used in modern oil filter testing. You can even ask lake speed jr the motor oil geek. We have been over this. We talk microns a lot
@@BeardedFordTech
There’s a site on YT called Brand Ranks that does some interesting oil filter testing. Purolator Boss and Amsoil are the best tested and ranked oil filters based on his testing process. Check it out and see what you think. Motorcraft is ranked 14th on the list. Would be interested in your thoughts on their testing methods. I jump back and forth between the PurBoss and Amsoil filters. Great video BTW!!
More impressed that you opened the container of oil with one hand!😂🎉😂
It was a task.
Engine builders and lubrication specialists warn against using any type of engine flush. Will take several oil changes to get it all out as it will negatively affect the lubrication package in the oil to be used.
So lake speed jr said to use it and he's a lubrication specialist. As long as you follow the directions. We are actually in the process of doing an experiment with it.
🤷♂️
I've used between Amsoil and Liqui-Moly engine flushes since 2013 . Every 5000 miles and have not encountered any issues with their use . Oil never comes out black , but golden like pancake syrup and able to see through it has it drains . I let the oil drain for at least an hour each time .
@@peterrudy9207 If everyone followed this, not the brand but not cheap oil either, thier engines would fail a lot less. Good on you.
And this is why the most effective way to do an engine flush,
Is by adding it to NEW oil (and filter), and then changing it and the filter
And I was just experimenting this is not how your supposed to do it. But if you got spare cheap oil laying around doesn't hurt to do it this way.
@@BeardedFordTech I say the most effective (not the cheapest),
Because as you know part of the oil's job is to hold contaminants "in suspension",
An oil that is completely discoloured (petrol car), has a significantly reduced ability to to do that.
So instead of the contaminants "becoming part of the oil",
They will just be pushed around to somewhere else (hopefully to the sump... hopefully).
@@notsureyou I gotcha
Good thing you used AMZOIL on the gasket of the new filter 😂
Ehhh. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. I never prefill them.
I recommend using a rubber mallet instead of the palm of your hand, as well as using an oil filter removal tool,
This will reduce RSI issues later in life :-)
I have plenty of oil filter tools. The JM3 ones. You should check them out www.jm3oilfilterwrench.com. I really didn't want to walk across the ship to get them.
Looks like the Amsoil engine flush did its job. I had to back up the video to make sure my ears and eyes weren't deceiving me. Try as you might, installing a Motorcraft filter on a Nissan won't make a difference. You'll still be stuck with a Nissan in the end. How do I know? I installed used Motorcraft wiper blades off of a Raptor on the GMC pickup. The next morning I still had a GMC pickup. I did however have a clear windshield when it rained. 🙂🙂
We put Motorcraft filters on everything. They don't leak. But yeah its still a Nissan 😒
On the oil filter quote. Same goes for Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics even if you win your still retarded.
I would rather drive a Nissan over a shit box ford
@carlmcdonald5864 you must not like driving very far. You know with all the cvt issues. That's cool though. Ford's don't want you in them anyway. Move along now.
@BeardedFordTech had a 2018 ford focus RS went through 3 head gasket in a year my mom and dad had a f150 with the 2.7 eco shit both had problems with transmission and AC I now drive 2020 honda civil type R faster and zero problems my parents both drive 2022 chevy silverado both problems free my family was ford people but the make so much garbage now have fun Being Fucked On Road Daily
Adding Seafoam in the oil 200-300 miles before changing the oil works great. I think you’re wasting oil doing it that way.
This was just experimenting. You don't do it this way. You put it in let it run for 15 min and change the oil and filter then off you go. There's a reason seafoam has you drive like 200-300 miles. Cause it sucks and doesn't work. You have to use a lot of it multiple times.
There are two types of engine flushes.
1. Solvent based
2. Detergent based
Solvent based flushes are inexpensive and are not designed to liquefy sludge and hold it in suspension. Many engines have been blown up by adding solvent based flushes and as a result large chunks of sludge break loose which stop the oil pump pickup tube up and loosing oil pressure. Any flush that reeks of a kerosene smell has a solvent formulation.
Detergent based flushes are designed to liquify sludge and hold it in suspension in the oil until it is drained out. Many detergent flushes are intentionally designed to work slowly over time to prevent the possibility of the oil pickup stopping up.
Amsoil and Liqui-Moly use a detergent based formulation. I have used them both and I think it Amsoil flush has a slight edge over Liqui-Moly. In my shop I have seen an increased need for periodic flushes because of customers who follow the oil life monitor. 10-12K mile oil changes are not a good idea for customers using whatever bulk oil that the shop uses.
AMSOIL is supposed to be in all capitals. Just like IBM is not, "Ibm", or UPS is not, "Ups". AMSOIL is an abbreviation for Al Amatuzio, the founder of AMSOIL Inc. It stands for Al-Amatuzio-Oil. AMSOIL. :) - 31 year independent AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Dealer.
Yes I know what it means I've been a dealer since 2012. Would you like me to go put it in all caps for you? Consider it done
I use the Amsoil flush on every oil change
No need to do it on every oil change. That can cause damage. I asked Lake Speed about that.
@@BeardedFordTech I confirmed with Amsoil technical dept they said it wont hurt anything
@user-oy1uv7zz7r kind of an overkill. No need to flush every time. Especially if you run amsoil engine oil. I wouldn't do it just saying. Technical department is not the same as lubrication specialist and used oil analyst
@@BeardedFordTech I also use blackstone to test the oil as well
@user-oy1uv7zz7r try www.speediagnostix.com better readings. Blackstone uses out of date testing. They are a good company don't get me wrong. Buck speediagnostix is much easier to read and understand. It's all color coded. And there is no tbn number. That number means nothing. That's what I mean by old out of date testing. You don't need a ton number. You need an oxidation value. That's what matters. Check out my livestreams with him. Then make a decision. Have a great night.
6:09 looks like you put in used oil.
You watched me pour it right out of the bottle with the flush. Or are you saying that cause the flush worked? Why would I put used oil In a car?
@@BeardedFordTech I know it was new…..it’s so dark coming out with the flush.
I have been using mobil1 ,5k intervals ,and only chevron gas,no need for flush!
You'll need it with that mobil 1. Mobile 1 is garbage and has failed lots of tests. After about 1500 miles engine is noisy and it's lost it's ad pack.

Me too friend. Me too!
used a funnel for flush and other oil but not on amsoil you figure
🤦♂️ I think you missed the point.
Don’t do the cleaning on it you will damage your ECM on car
What? Please tell me this is a joke comment. I've never had a ecm fail from an engine flush. Where did you hear this nonsense? Scotty Kilmer?
