what are some of the things that can affect an engine because of a late oil change oil change is about almost 3mths overdue ooil used in engine is castrol gtx and it is a ga15 engine
extra build up of sludge but nothing really
just change and monitor from there
might wanna do another quick change or pour a fresh qt in to kinda flush out the old oil
3mths overdue....like is Mobile1 u usein ah wah....thats a long time....that oil must been baked on the parts!! when changin d oil, put a engine flush.
Don't know if you guys do this but I do...
Give the car a good run and then change oil when the engine warm !
Avoid the flushes,residues left behind can screw up the new change.
Use a qt of cheap oil instead.
i also heard that when doing an oil change and want to clean out the motor, you can pour in ATF (auto trans fluid) instead of oil and start and idle. let the motor run so that the ATF can cleanse for a few minutes. ATF has more cleaning agents since it's designed to maintain a trans which has very tiny passages and intricacies. i don't think it's wise to rev above idle though. then drain and put oil as usual.
i read an Article about tips when changing oil...
Drain abt 1qt of oil from the engine and fill back 1qt of Diesel...
Start engine a let idle for a few mins(revvin not Recomended) and then drain all the oil....
i tried it already, the oil drains thin like water and the diesel cleans out the oil passages
^^^yup, i have a friend who filled the entire engine with diesel, took like 2.5 gals and this also works well
engine was real clean
was left to soak overnight and then drianed in the morning
don't use keroscene
i have a friend who filled the entire engine with diesel, took like 2.5 gals
but, wouldnt some diesel remain in the Sump when drained???...
and how about tumbling the engine a few times (pull out the coil wire so engine wouldnt start) to let the diesel pass trough the pump and passages to clean it out..?
blazing, not deisel oil.. padnah... the actual fuel. the oil is not that much diff in fact i rant that in my old 4g15 shell rhimula d worked liek a dream.. engien was jsut a lil slugish thats all...
