My Uncle was a diesel mechanic in the US Navy during WWll. When they did oil changes in Uncle Sams diesel engines in the boats and ships, they mixed diesel fuel in the engine oil in a ratio, ran the engine for a set number of minutes, drained and refilled with new oil and filters.I'll never forget him saying that. He did it to his Chevrolet pickups he owned after getting home in the years after the war.
@@thefantasticpendejo6182 Sadly, I do not. I do remember it not being that much diesel. 10% diesel / 90% full used crankcase oil ??? But no, I don't remember.
I do this to my cars and Harley every year I like how people do it for 5 min then say look metal particles are in the flush its destroying my engine NOOOOOO its FLUSHING OUT THE SHIT
Doesn't it cause too much pressure on the rear main seal etc, when adding the kerosene to the amount of oil in the engine.? Just a question of curiousity.!
No. Slightly less pressure nothing to worry about. Kerosene will thin the oil. Look at the video which i talk about quantity. But also look at my other kerosene videos
Check out my latest video i posted on ratio. Try my flush first before changing the engine. Make sure the engine is up to operating temp when doing the flush.
What's the state of the oil seals, big ends, main bearings and camshaft lobes after this procedure? I'll stick with putting only the recommended grade of engine oil in my engine thanks.
1/4 oil to 3/4 kerosene and run for 45 minutes... sometimes if it's really bad when I flush it, I will flush it again with 100% kerosene. Let run for 5 minutes more than drain. Looking for amber color when I drain it. Even when it's a dark amber I stop.
@@thefantasticpendejo6182 may i know how bad your engine is before flush? did you open the crankcase? my engine is full of sludge and 'charcoal' but it still running. do you think this method can get rid of them?
And there's cars with several hundred thousand miles that have never seen a flush, let alone kerosene. The Kero isnt making them last longer, the engineer's fudge factor built into the design and metallurgy has allowed the engines to somewhat shrug off the kerosene.
Bardahl Flush n Engine Tune Up is a 300ml can that smells of kerosene. Instruction is to pour the 300ml into the crankcase and run it for 150miles. It thins out the oil and once 150miles is done, change the oil. I think its a similar concept but less extreme and hardcore to your method sir. And a lot faster.
Yes. Check out the most recent post on ratio. Make sure the engine is up to temp. If it is cold run it with the kerosene until it is up to temp then run for 20 minutes more. But chexk out the most recent video
Can you make a video? This will help expand the knowledge. Let us know on the ratio, if your using kerosene or disel. I like where this all going for everyone.
I always use diesel. I do 2 quarts for every 5 quarts of oil. I take it for a spirited run around the block and then bring it home once the engine is piping hot
Royal Purple by itself is the one carrying the highest detergents package. So if your going to use that oil every 3000 miles for the rest of the life of your engine no more flushes required. A guy did a on a BMW a switch to RP and cleaned the entire head. 👌
I did see that one. I will double check with RP to see if the RACING oil which is what I'm using in the SHO, has the detergents in it. Will tell you this when I had engine work done it was as clean as the BMW. What's your opinion on RP oil?
@@thefantasticpendejo6182 very good oil over priced a bit like Redline. Very high viscosity index and a high temperature. If your not living in a cold climate very good choice. Pennzoil ultra platinum can be a very good choice probably also cheaper and recommended for ford ecoboost by a Ford master tech Makuloko channel. 👍
I'm currently using 0w8 RP Racing oil. Massive difference with a thinner oil. Engine feels smoother. It does help when I'm racing against these 392 Daytonas.
Just do a specific engine flush product before each oil change. It's a process of step to clean varnish and sludge. Don't try to whack it hard with one or two aggressive flushes. Kerosene does not, does not have the lubricity for bearings, cam lobes, valve train or timing set.
Yes. Ran for like 15 minutes. Use this new formula for safe use. 4 cylinder drain 1 quart of oil and replace with 1 quart of kerosene, 6 cylinder drain 2 quarts replace with 2 quarts of kerosene, 8 cylinder drain 3 quarts replace with 3 quarts of kerosene.... run for 15 minutes. I am currently talking to a few mechanics on all these flushes to see if there is a better way of doing this. Will keep you and everyone posted.
Nothing in this video makes sense, yes kerosene flushes have been a thing for a long time and has its place. But the extra oil and completely wrong oil grade is just ridiculous.
@GettingAGrip208 ...Me and you think alike the method above video is unheard-of over here in the UK 🇬🇧.... Maybe we use a 1 litre can of flush with old engine oil at the most....and as for 0-10 Grade...😢😢😢
Ok..30 yr. Mobile Auto Mechanic...1 quart Kerosene with correct amount capacity oil for Engine Oil Flush running engine from idle to 2000 rpm/ No driving/ Only parked secured...Depending on mileage..This cleans metal mechanicals in engine..but rubber seals are always questionable due to age..One quart only....
Uploading new video. Be honest on what you think of it. I did use your name as encouragment in the video. Thanks for encouraging to do the video. And yes you did encourage me
It would take a 3-ring binder to address all that is faulty here. Its your car, absolutely.

He ever mention the ratio by some chance. This has been the mystery I have been trying to find.

the channel name is solid freaking gold!
you just put the engine flush companies out of business. no one else knows its just kerosene
I do this to my cars and Harley every year I like how people do it for 5 min then say look metal particles are in the flush its destroying my engine NOOOOOO its FLUSHING OUT THE SHIT
Diesel gas or even a little trans fluid also works. Or any of the commercial brands work all about the same.
i usually use diesel at 50/50 works pretty good
أحسنت ... فيديو مفيد ....
سأقوم بتجربة ذلك على سيارتي العجوز 👍😉
Try it and you'll see all black sludge that comes from it

again very informative thank you bro
Your welcome. Glad this helps
the ford comapany said it needed new motor,but when i have oil pressure runs fine no noise

So far so good. Seems like the previous owner never took care of the car which is why I went extreme in this situation. No leaks or issues.
do you mix 1/4 engine oil and 3/4 kerosene? or is it just full pure kerosene?
1/4 oil to 3/4 kerosene and run for 45 minutes... sometimes if it's really bad when I flush it, I will flush it again with 100% kerosene. Let run for 5 minutes more than drain. Looking for amber color when I drain it. Even when it's a dark amber I stop.

@@akarendigital it 2 flushes of the very first time. Now only 1 flush does the trick.
I am 66 years old been doing this since I was 15 it works. I just dont use as much kerosine as you do.
Figuring the actual recipe is never easy. Learned it from grandpa. But he never had an exact amount to use.
Same here. 1 qt before oil change every 30K… sometime 50k… my 3 oldest vehicles have 250000 each
1 liter of diesel or kerosene every 6 of oil
And there's cars with several hundred thousand miles that have never seen a flush, let alone kerosene. The Kero isnt making them last longer, the engineer's fudge factor built into the design and metallurgy has allowed the engines to somewhat shrug off the kerosene.

I wish more people would share like you on diffrent styles of engine flushes and experience they had
@@thefantasticpendejo6182 will this kerosene flush unstick piston rings that are causing oil burn??
will it clean a ford 5.4 engine ,no oil getting from top to bottum
Yes. Check out the most recent post on ratio. Make sure the engine is up to temp. If it is cold run it with the kerosene until it is up to temp then run for 20 minutes more. But chexk out the most recent video
Sir what about about dieseal engine (toyota coaster)
Your the second person who brought this to my attention. I am trying to find a vehicle to test this on....
I usually use diesel or motor flush… if kero was easy to get I would use that more
I just did a flush this morning. I’ll do another one on a different vehicle with 360,000 miles 2017 Lincoln navigator 3.5 eco-boost. In a couple days.

@@thefantasticpendejo6182are this new formula need to flush for two times?
@@TheJorzax just one and run for 15 munutes
0W10??? Why? And why you put 7 1/2 quarts in when it calls for 5 1/2 quarts? That’s just stupid.

I used to this with my cars to flush them out. Not every oil change but about evryv2 years
I now do it once a year just to be safe. This car was not cared for by the previous owner which is why i was so extreme.
I drain every drop of oil then fill with K1 run 10 min then drain then fill again then drain let it completely drain fill with MOBIL 1
I do the same..
dude you from IL !
Yes... Chicago

Ok..30 yr.

Love this. Finally someone with some true insight. Thank you
No it was built by people with actual knowledge...not someone dumping more oil in a car for no reason lol
Diesel fuel ftw.
Do a video.... i have heard of this. Can you do a video on this as another option...
Don't
Kerosene flushing is for people who change the oil ever 60k miles … lol
Apparently the previous owner never changed it. 🤣
You clicked something im going to make a video keep an eye out
Folks. This is what you do NOT do to your engine.
never put much more oil in than recommended
Uploading new video. Be honest on what you think of it. I did use your name as encouragment in the video. Thanks for encouraging to do the video. And yes you did encourage me
no no no to corses
Knowing the ratio...1 gallons and then 3/4 or so. Science here.
Thats what im working on. I think i got the ratio. I will be posting another video
