Valvoline has a new motor oil called restore & protect. They claim that it will clean up pitons and rings. I haven't has a chance to try it yet, but I have used the B-12 soak on a 2015 Forte that was burning a lot of oil. It definitely helped the the oil consumption.
Apparently works extremely well. There's a video by a guy named "Oil Geek" who made a video on it recently and had an interview with the lab who developed it.
@@philjerome9795 Based on my searches through forums, it seems to work for oil consumption. Many people reported that by the 2nd or 3rd oil change that oil consumption reduced entirely and as low as 50%.
I’m going to try the piston soak on a 2016 sonata . Then run Valvoline restore and Protect for this year . Car has 104000 and burns a quart every 500 on the highway . Runs perfect . I have my fingers crossed
I think he said it at least 55 times - it's kind of hard to watch after the 10th "basically", but I know his video is good and the intentions are all great.
Yeah, but if you use B12 it probably will evaporate most of it by the end of the soak. DIfferent story if you use Marvel Mystery Oil which is more oily than alcoholy.
Thanks for the video. Doing this on a 2014 Kia Rio that burns oil and killed a catalytic converter. Just changed the CAT and O2 sensors. Doing the piston soak this weekend. You must have been nervous because you said “basically” probably 100 times in an 8 minute video. No need to be nervous, you did a good job!
I have to say, this video was amazing, only thing is with these motors they are sensitive to oil viscosity, that’s due to the VVT system in this motor, the oil solenoids for the VVT system have a very fine screen acting as a filter, they clog very easily so I’d recommend changing those after this process, also using a thicker oil will reduce oil flow through those screens and the VVT system will throw codes because the adjustment for the VVT systems works off of oil pressure, it’s calibrated for 5w20, just giving you some input, but otherwise great execution, not many people know about this oil burning issue which is why these cars have a bad reputation.
One suggestion: leave plugs out, and turn over the engine, the gunk will blow out of the spark plug holes ( will be messy), maybe can put some rags around to catch the gunk. It might start easier if you do that before first start after soak.
Berryman B-12 has a high evaporation rate from just using it. It is very good at softening/lossening the carbon build-up but I noticed levels in the chambers do drop alot fairly quickly and don't believe it made it's way past the rings into the sump. Going to do another piston soak to see if can clean up last bit or carbon still in there but will re-install the spark plugs to limit evaporation this time to see if it makes a difference.
The amount of smoke that came out of my 328i filled the street with white smoke for about the length of a football field. It cleaned my oil sensor so now it's working properly again. Also not burning a drop of oil and no oil burning smell. I couldn't be more happy. I used my tools and a bore scope. I just did a 8 hour soak. Topped off Then rinse flushed out the spark plug holes. The amount of carbon was monstrous. Although the crankcase is in pristine condition meaning this car had normal oil changes before I bought it in March. I couldn't be more happier. Next is ultrasonic cleaning the fuel injectors.
What so u mean rinse flushed the spark plug hole. I just started the piston ring soak on my 2013 Camry with 250k on it. I plan on just turning it over without the spark plugs in it.
My apologies. Yes so after letting it soak with berrymans b12. For 8 hours I then used sea foam maybe a quarter cup in each spark plug hole then wait 5 min and turn the engine over to flush it. Now the carbon does a number on the catalytic converter as it was like burning coles threw there. It was just carbon though. I'm going to use cataclean next week. Also you will get misfires and hesitation. I put on new coils and ruthenium plugs. As of now my oil is still full 600 miles in. And I don't smell any oil burning. Also keep in mind just sea foam will not work. You have to do the soak with berrymans
@@Centralflorida22 thanks bro, I did it yesterday for a couple of hours with a bottle of berrymans. I did like 110 ml in each cylinder. After 2 hours it was gone. So I turned it over without plugs in and the first 2 cylinders had a bunch of carbon come out. But cylinder 3 and 4 were relatively clean. I’m guessing those were the problem cylinders. I use my car for work so i didn’t have much time. But i plan to do it again. I hope it helped only time will tell.
4oz of B12 in each cylinder let sit for 24hrs then blow it out and use copper plugs because it has more surface area for the spark and easier starting. then drive it for 20-30mins and change oil
Hyundai are direct injected engines there for are prone to having unusually gigh amounts of carbon build-up my suggestion in addition to what u have done adding a catch can will go a long way in keeping ur engine running strong i also started running premium because of the higher amounts of detergent in the fuel and a few times a year i run 15w40 synthetic oil for diesel due to its higher concentration of detergents as simple maintenance just food for thought. Ive had great success so far and im pushing close to 200k
Try Valvoline Restore and Protect or Castrol Ultra Clean motor oils. They can dissolve a lot of the sludge and carbon that gets into piston ring lands.
Direct injection will have carbon deposits on the port side of valves, oil will have no cleaning affect. Will need walnut blasting to properly clean them.
I would like to see a more detailed video on turning the engine with the wrench and setting the cylinders to same level. '16 sonata 2.4l gdi consumes oil at 1qt per 500miles.
If car burn engine oil try oil castrol edge synthetic 5w30 high mileage or pennzoil 5w30 synthetic high mileage oil . These 2 engine oil are best if car burns engine oil
I may try some next oil change but I doubt a regular motor oil can make much difference for something like this. My car has a lot of miles on it though, so oil burn is expected. I'm burning like 1 qt every 1000-1200 miles.
Fixing to do this in an aveo same issue carbon like hell in the valves and pistons the p0420 instantly comes back when running burns a good amount if oil sime im betting this will do the trick
My Toyota 2AZFE was using too much oil but had no leaks but I found out they had a problem with the drain holes in the piston rings blocking up. I put Seafoam in the oil and did about 1000km and changed the oil and it's been fine. I don't know if the Santa Fe had the same problem but maybe look into it.
@@SOUTHWEST_PILOT 30ml per litre of oil or one ounce per quart, there's plenty on youtube about it. Project Farm or Chrisfix are the best.

Awesome video man! So how is it going? Has the oil consumption totally stopped? BTW you mentioned you had issues with the cat converter also, how did you manage it? Did you clean it?
I tried it for a couple days didn’t help mine. Cylinder 4 miss fire only 30 pounds of compression oil on spark plug smokes like crazy. May try it one more time
sometimes the piston oil return holes get gunked up, this method wont clean out those oil return holes, no method yet to clean those out, this method will clean out gummed up or stuck rings. Try it a few times if its cheap enough to get berrymans wherever you are.
