Cheap Oil Will Drain Your Wallet
A service manager friend sent me these pictures of a 2014 Hyundai Veloster 1.6L 4 cyl with a turbo…120,000 miles. What you’re seeing is the cap removed from the valve cover oil fill entrance. As you can see, it’s coated with sludge.
The vehicle came to the shop with the service engine light on. After reading the code, the engine sensor is removed. It has a coating of sludge and shows heat build-up. Looking at these pictures is a perfect example of how cheap oil will drain your wallet. The engine is destined for a catastrophic failure due to high heat and sludge restricting oil flow. All at the expense of added fuel mileage and reduced emissions. Regulations that cost Americans a fortune in repairs.
How to possibly save this engine
After talking with an oil specialist who also reviewed these pictures, he advised draining the oil and removing the oil filter. Then add a cheap oil and oil filter. Add the engine flush to the oil fill entrance. Start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes. Drain the oil and remove the oil filter, and then add the Amsoil Signature Series synthetic oil and Amsoil Oil Filter.
Run the engine 3000 miles and do another engine flush, draining the oil and removing the filter…adding again the Amsoil Signature Series synthetic oil and Amsoil oil Filter. He felt confident it would most likely clear up the sludge and possibly save the engine. It should be good for 15,000 miles after the initial cleaning.
Over 50,000 Miles? Flush It
If you have a vehicle with over 50,000 miles on it (gasoline or diesel)…I STRONGLY suggest using Amsoil’s Engine Flush when switching to Amsoil synthetic oil. Why? Because Amsoil synthetic oil will clean your engine over time, and excess sludge may end up in your filter.
When you’re ready to change your oil…if you’re a DIY…Simply pour one bottle into the engine oil filler opening for gasoline engines…two bottles for diesel engines, and let idle for 15 minutes. Do not run down the highway. Drain the oil and remove the oil filter, and add the new.
For those taking their vehicle to a local dealership or shop, drive to the location 15 minutes before your appointment. Park in the parking lot…pop the hood and pour the engine flush into the engine oil filler opening and let it idle for 15 minutes. Have the technician drain the oil and remove the old oil filter, and install your Amsoil synthetic oil and Oil Filter.
Beware Turbo Fans…Cheap Oil Will Drain Your Wallet
Today’s engines are running much hotter to reduce emissions. Add a turbo, and you have fueled the fire for even hotter running engines.
So beware, turbofans. All that extra get up and go that forces you back in your seat whenever you put the pedal to the metal…you would be wise to be running the best synthetic oil you can get your hands on.
Amsoil Signature Series Synthetic motor oils for gasoline engines are normally good for 25,000 miles. However, having a turbo is considered “Severe Service” due to the extra heat. Reducing the oil change and oil filter to 15,000 miles.
Most of us love shortcuts
The desire to cut to the chase is perfectly understandable. So here’s what you can do. If you’re skeptical about Amsoil…check out my “930,000 Mile Engine Teardown” and quickly see for yourself how squeaky clean Amsoil kept my engine by changing the oil and filter every 20 – 25,000 miles.
Or see how Amsoil whipped the competition during a deposit / sludge test.
It only takes 5 minutes to order online or by phone…and have the product shipped to your doorstep in 2-3 business days. If you’re not a DIY…you can have your dealership or local repair shop change your oil and add the Amsoil synthetic oil and filter to your engine. And just that quick, you’re up and running. And that’s not all. The best is yet to come.
