  1. My personal experience with oil changes is to take whatever the manufacturer says and divide that by 2 seems to do the trick.

  2. In my former life I was a lubrication engineer (tribologist).   Particles in nature are usually of negative electronic charge and tend to 'clump' together (agglomerate) into larger and larger sized particles ... based on time. Most engines made earlier than about 2010 are built upon the 20 µM (micrometers) specification - defining the MOST DAMAGING PARTICLE SIZE in an internal combustion engine; many of the newer designed engines have a lesser/smaller sized particles-in-oil specification.   Modern lubricating oils have added detergent, a chemical compound that alters the electronic surface characteristics of the particles. Such Detergents become 'used up' based on the time the oil is in service/operation. Secondly, the more modern engines have 'weaker' (less springy) piston rings (done to artificially improve gas milage). This allows MORE blow-by of the piston rings (and oil) to become 'settled' and deposited as 'carbon' behind and on the wrong side the piston rings and IN the ring grooves ('lands') of the piston. This build up of carbon can promote ring sticking (or 'stuck rings') leading to adverse cylinder wall wear, The remedy is: 1. if the vehicle is driven predominately at normal steady state, highway speeds, with the cruise contol engaged, with little stop & go intervals in between .... consider to change oil and 'quality' oil filter AT (or before) the manufacturers recommended change-out recommendations 2. If predominantly in stop and go conditions, and you're always accelerating and decelerating (aggressively) .... consider to change the oil at **HALF** the recommended interval to help ensure that your piston rings dont become stuck due to carbon build up in the piston ring grooves. Constant oil changeout - ON TIME , .... (or at half time intervals for 'stop and go') - ...... is VASTLY CHEAPER than an engine rebuild or 'new' vehicle.   For myself I typically get 200 - 300k+ miles out of a well made engine. (FWIW - I never buy a new design 'engined' vehicle, until it proves itself to be itself in *long term* driving conditions to be long-term-reliable). Lastly, avoid 'beating' the engine with rapid acceleration/deceleration, 'especially' including those times when the engine is BELOW normal operating TEMPERATURES. Hope this helps. ;-)

  3. I always do my oil changes at 5-7k miles and I’m glad to see I was right in my suspicions.

  4. I send off a used oil sample to Blackstone Labs with every oil change on each of my vehicles. One of them has always been only a weekend fun machine since it was new 22 years ago. For the past several years, it has seen less than 300 miles per year. The last time I changed the oil after the car had been driven less than 1500 miles - over a 5 YEAR period. The analysis confirmed my belief that oil just sitting in the oil pan of a parked car DOES NOT degrade significantly over time. All values were still well within spec.

  5. I recently had an oil analysis performed by LN Engineering and while the ppm of all elements examined were in the good range, they encouraged doing a “dual” sample test in the future (sending a bottle of the brand new, unused oil before it went in along with one when it came out 5,000 miles later) in order to know the exact levels of all the original additives, etc. before and after. They said this gives an more accurate picture of what the engine is doing.

  6. In order to decide on oil change intervals, you have to consider your driving conditions. The deterioration of the oil is dependent on how many cold starts you perform, and on whether the engine is run up to operating temp each time you run it. If you tend to run short errands with a delay between trips, your oil will deteriorate more quickly. During warm-up, acid and water vapor is created during this period. If you get the engine all the way up to temp, most of the water vapor evaporates and blows out the tailpipe. The acid that occurs during the warm-up process just collects in the oil, contaminating it. Also a consideration is whether you do much driving in excessively dusty conditions. To simplify all this, if you drive 200 miles on the highway, your engine will get more wear during the first 2 minutes of warm-up than it will during the 200 miles of driving. All of these factors are why it is difficult to have a single hard and fast rule about intervals. Also, if you are using synthetic oil, it is more resistant to deterioration. Also, if your engine is turbocharged, this is very hard on the oil, much like the effects of large amounts of steroids on a human body. If you talk to a mechanic, they will invariably tell you that turbocharged engines nearly always have a shorter life than non-turbo versions of the same engine. A engine -oil analysis is a really good way to measure the best interval for oil changes for your own type of driving, but it doesn't tell you much about your neighbor who has a different pattern of use.

  7. I change the oil not for the car but for my ' mental health ' win win.😅.

  8. If oil has twice the dirt inside at 10k miles compared to 5k miles, it means that oil is doing its job just as good at 10k miles. But, since there's more dirt in it at 10k, it's more abrasive on engine components. Oil isn't going bad, it's just getting dirty. Means it's good oil.

  9. Many tests have shown that the cheaper Walmart Brand Super Tech full synthetic oil is as good & sometimes better than any other oil,... I think cheaper oil changed more often is better than high end oil taken to limits.
    145
  10. You will NEVER hurt an engine by putting fresh oil and filter . NEVER . I do every 5000 kms . Cheap and fun .
    135
  11. Changing the oil is one of the most satisfying feelings
    130
  12. (part 1 and 2) excellent videos and well taught study. On older japanese cars (1989 and 2001) I used to do the non-synthetic oil changes every 8000-11000km, all my 4 engines (including 3 turbo engines) did not have any issues and made it to 300 000+km being red lined intelligently everyday.
    104
  13. After all my research, I have settled on 10,000km interval with full synthetic. I have also adjusted the intervals to match multiple of 10s on odometer, easy to remember. My next change is at 240,000km 😊
    96
  14. ​ @Globetrotter-1  lol waat?
    95
  15. I would say it depends very much on your environment. In a hot dusty desert area you want to change more often. Also the oil type is different between hot desert or cold arctic temperatures.

  16. Once again, great, detailed, short and sweet video. I personally go by mileage, i don't think these modern day fully synthetic oils are really affected by time, it's the use that wears them down. I just wish the previous owners of cars I've bought used serviced them more regularly than the manufacturers mileage guidelines because if everyone did 7,500 intervals from the start, a majority of engines would make it to 200k+ quite easily. Cars I've owned where previous owners did regular oil changes were always in better health imo.

  17. Very interesting! I agree with this in general but looking at engine oil analysis almost every day I have noticed something I don’t like, even during the short intervals. There is lots of copper present which is usual for M52 and M54 engines. I see this on oil samples of M52/54 engines regularly. The copper value is even higher than iron and there is already lead from the bearings visible! In my experience, these engines can use a slightly higher viscosity oil. A 5W-40 with a higher HTHS-Value can make life easier for the bearings. Personally I tend to recommend oils with an HTHS of 4.0-4.5 mPas for these engines in 5W-40 or 0W-40 viscosity at an interval of up to 6,000 miles / 10,000 km depending on driving conditions. According to these analysis a longer interval of up to 7500 miles should be fine for you. Impressive mileage though, the engine seems to be quite healthy in general, which is no surprise. You don’t seem to drive short distances on a cold engine, that’s usually the main problem for these engines. I hope this can help you :) Kind regards from Germany!

  18. I love that you redline it everyday. A man that enjoys his car.

  19. It hugely depends on driving conditions, driving habits and driving distances. Ultra short driving distances, especially during winter are condensation heaven, and much more…
    64
  20. I've done this same test using the same lab with my 2014 Mazda CX-5. I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20 and the lab has reported the oil is still plenty good at the 7.5k mile mark, which is about what I average per year in driving. The lab did say the Pennzoil Ultra Plat tests show it was more than capable of a 10k oil change interval in my Mazda. YMMV.

  21. We started using oil analysis at work--we ran large format printing presses, the size of greyhound buses. Each print tower held about 55 gallons of oil, with multiple towers, so you could imagine how expensive oil changes could be. We wound up doubling or tripling oil change intervals.

  22. The Yaris does not die

  23. Thanks for the info. I have a 07 328xi and Ive been doing 7500 mile changes regularly. Im approaching the 300k mark as well.
    57
  24. Thank you for sharing this experience. FWIW I see no reason to ever omit a filter change when changing oil. It’s inexpensive and adds minimal additional effort to the project. My ten cents.
    56
  25. I've noticed rattling around 5k rpm...then I realized it was my keys/keychain
    52
  26. It's reassuring that they still cap the time interval at 1 year - if the car isn't driving far enough in a year to reach the oil change distance interval, it will be doing short and/or infrequent trips. I think this is why the Severe service schedules usually mention long periods of idling: you're racking up hours on the oil but it's not accounted for by the odometer.
    52
  27. 500miles? Keep that girlfriend. ❤
    52
  28. Thanks for adding the values in km’s and € as well :)

  30. Great video, thanks for sharing. For me oil and filter changes are cheap, engines are expensive, I so will continue with changing both at 10,000 km (6,200 miles) and using full synthetic (but I will run longer than 1 year). This approach certainly isn't optimal, but it is a safe 'no regrets' strategy IMO. That said, it's great to be able to compare your results, so thanks again for that.

  31. Nice findings and good job preserving an e46 in great condition 👍️ Also 5w-30 seems to be good enough, I give synthetic 10w-40 to my e46 as it offeres better film strength and wear protection, as HTHS ~3.5 of 5w-30 is regarded to be on the edge (10W-40 HTHS ~4.4) and other benefits like higher oil pressure. The benefit of faster 'engine through oiling times' at engine start of 5w oil begins at -10°C and below to make a difference compared to 10w, if you live in an area where winters are cold. Funfact: There is a reputated german engine rebuild company who declines warranty, if 0w-20 is used in a rebuilt engine, although it is within BMW specifications.
    47
  32. Chemist here: You should send a control - that is a sample of unused portion of the same oil handled the same way. Also, take a sample of your oil and add known amounts of these elements (i.e. Ca, Fe, etc.) so you can blindly test the laboratories accuracy (this is called a Spiked Sample).
    46
  33. This whole oil issue seems to be an American thing. In sort, marketing. In EU the concern does not exist. My car was designed for servicing and oil changes every 20,000 miles (yes, that's right) - it's a German design mass market car from the GM group. How many times have I had to change the engine (not the oil)? Zero. How old is the car? Just over 20 yo. Does it run OK? Absolutely sweet. I didn't even know about this "keep changing the oil" US habit until I started watching YT... amazing!
    45
  34. a rare video where I can enjoy the content without feeling too much dragged.
    43
  35. My biggest takeaway from this is the time factor (6,12 mos. etc.) is far less of a factor for oil changes than we're all being led to believe. Only with a few exceptions, mileage is the main indicator. The Care Care Nut, who is quite popular, strongly believes 5K intervals are the way to go, especially with the new, lighter-weight oils but I believe that mileage is more important and this video reinforces my belief. Thanks!

  36. The simple answer is to change your HIGH-QUALITY oil when it starts getting dark brown and before it gets black. Just check your warm oil on a white paper towel and change it before it gets black. Oil stands up these days, so after a year or even 10,000 miles, the oil itself may still test good, but high concentrations of carbon (microscopic sandpaper from blowby) will cause damage. A very tight engine driven gently, may still have golden oil after 5000 miles so why change it? If you drive harder, the oil might be dark brown at 3000 miles, so change it. A blind time or mileage change is unnecessary and ineffective. Why are you changing clean oil or why did you wait to change black oil? Why not change brown oil? See what I mean? Also, no need for all this flushing hype, as modern oils have detergents that keep your engine clean and your engine seals are not designed to be exposed to solvents of any kind. If you seldom drive a car, then moisture acidifying in your oil will become a problem. This is solved by driving it for 30 minutes once a month, to burn this moisture off. Idling in the driveway is better than nothing (unregistered car), but the car really needs to be driven.

  37. In the Netherlands the long intervals are recommended. The intervals go as far as 30.000km, for my 2000 Peugeot 406 coupe V6. I can tell you it's a very bad idea, seeing the internals of some of these engines. My intervals on the dash are set at 15000k, but because i don't drive so much as my buisiness is from home, i do an oilchange every two years. That is well under 10000km. Never had any problems, the engine is like new inside. She has done around 300000km now.
    39
  38. I believe part of the 'myth' may have been true at one point, where crankcase breather systems were just a filter on the valve cover. Same deal with fuel in tanks, it HIGHLY depends on how much it breathes. Oxygen is a big killer for both, and both modern systems don't allow air to cycle in/out when it's sitting.
    37
  39. Since the engine was not flushed I'd say the last sample was that good thanks to the previous more frequent changes so I'd stick to a 5-6k max 7-7500mi I change the oil in my car tdi vw every 10k km it has 620 000km and runs very nicely according to other owners of the same car
    34
  40. My 2003 TDI has 10,000 mile oil changes in the service manual. I've changed it every 10k or 2 years if it's not been used much. Done this since owning the car in 2006 and stills runs fine, 155,000 miles. Engine and turbo still original and plenty of power. Heck it's still on it's original clutch too. Just to rub salt in to the 3,000 mile brigade, I've done the oil changes with a vacuum extraction pump since 2011. So the sump plug hasn't been removed in over 10 years. Yes oil is cheap and engines aren't... but that's still not an excuse to waste money and good engine oil.
    33
  41. 10-years is a good interval. I prefer not to ever do oil changes or oil filters and simply top up oil level when needed. Previous petrol Mercedes cars ran 250,000 and 137,000 miles with no oil changes and still were running smoothly when sold. Present BMW X5 diesel SUV no oil changes for 3-years. Heavily used on a daily basis yet still running smooth as silk.
    33
  42. Yep, 4-5 k on my Jeep, my 2011 SRT Challenger once a year right before winter storage, only drive 2k a year on it. I feel oil and filters are cheap.
    32
  43. Hello David....you are doing everything right, you will enjoy your BMW for a long time. Here in Germany, BMW is trying to recommend an interval of 20,000 km to the owners, which of course is complete nonsense, BMW knows very well that this means the early certain death of the engine, applies to Mercedes and Audi as well. Here we recommend an oil change every 10-15,000 km, or every 7000 km for short trips.

  44. I bought a Shoei RF1400 in the summer of 2022. In October 2022, I was hit hard and fast from behind on I-44 between Springfield and Joplin Missouri. The car hit me so fast and so hard... it came right up through the tailpipe, bending the middle of the frame upwards, throwing me skyward and sideways off the highway. I don't know if I was rendered unconscious or not, it happened so fast. I found myself lying a few feet into the grass off the shoulder. My lower body was broken pretty bad (three months later, and I'm just now transitioning from a wheelchair to a walker), but somehow my head and shoulders were not injured! This helmet took a number of impacts, as it had damage in two or three locations (front and back). Somehow, God blessed me that this helmet protected me... I'm writing this review for Shoei and placing it in a number of popular online locations to show my thanks for the RF-1400! And thank you God! Additionally, this helmet was super comfortable and fit my head snug as a bug in a rug! (P.S. Don't ride your motorcycle on highways at night)
    32
  45. I'm planning on making it my first bike next week hopefully. It's suppose to be comfortable, and the added weight is suppose to make it more stable on the highways vs the ninja 400... I just want to cruise... but love the look of sport bikes. Good MPG too with a 4.5 gallon tank. I can't wait.
    31
  46. The 10,000 mile sample is interesting and I would guess that some of the lighter molecular weight fraction has been removed (leaks or combustion?). This would be one way to simultaneously get the flash point to drop and viscosity to increase. Running at very high temperatures may help to drive that fraction off too. My diesel uses full synthetic too and the recommended interval (7500 miles) felt too long as the oil was extreme thin and dirty. I was not able to measure surface tension (helps with lubricity) but I felt like the viscosity was just too low. Since then I have not let the interval go longer than 5000 miles. Before I retired from Chemical Engineering I worked for a company that made surfactants (dispersants) so I know a little bit about that chemistry. Basically, high temperature and oxygen will contribute to components breaking down in the oil. Thanks for sharing the results (had a couple of E39's BTW).
    31
  47. Always did my oil changes at 15.000km, then I bought my dream car, an MK5 R32 and started to do 10.000Km oil changes. I think this is the best service interval for daily use.
    31
  48. Very good review. My son has a cb500f and one of your other videos helped him do a chain and sprocket replacement. Just my two cents, I can’t get over how Americans see this as a beginner bike. We have it stuck in our heads that if it isn’t a liter bike or a cruiser over 1800ccs, then it’s a beginner bike. And although problem “think” they are fun to ride, they just aren’t very practical. But Hondas 500 bikes are very practical and very easy to ride. The 500f is so simple I like riding my sons bike instead of old VFR. Anyway, I did enjoy the CBR videos and hope to see more. And seeing you run the bike in the foothills of the coast range made me miss home.

  49. 2024 and I have an 07 Yaris. 265K miles on this bad girl and she’s still loyal. Most people see a little bucket but it’s a testament of for good you treat your car your car will return the favor.
    29
  50. I have a 2003 BMW Z4 I bought brand new. I have changed my oil and filter every 7500 miles since new with Mobile 1 full synthetic 5W-30. At 112,000 miles I pulled the valve cover to see what it looked inside. Saw no obvious wear. Everything was clean with not a sign of any sludge. Timing chains and gears didn't appear to show any wear. Think I am good to go for as long as I want to drive it. Don't drive this car hard and it is always garaged. Been a great car.
    28
  51. Great video.....The lab tests really add a good perspective and credibility. Many videos out there just keep talking stuff about the topic without actual measurements, tests or analysis of any kind to back it up. Very few of them show numbers like you did. Proper way to do it, keep it up 👍🏽
    27
  52. I have 17 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 L V6. Because I live in an area that is over 100° (sometimes towing a small RV) in the summer and below 0° in the winter. I stick to 5000 to 6000 mile oil change intervals. Thanks for the video!
    27
  53. I have always suspected that the (12) month or (x) number of mile recommendation by the engine oil companies was marketing baloney to sell more oil, specifically to those who drive less than average miles per year. This confirms my theory. Thanks for your great work.
    26
  54. I was previously inclined more toward 5K change intervals. It's great to have actual data, because it turns out to be a money-saver. Driving conditions can vary, but it's good to know that longer intervals are probably not the best choice.
    26
  55. I like getting oil every 6-7 months; really think that’s what keeps my “endless money pits” from actually turning into one. It’s also a chance to inspect other things and catch potential problems.
    24
  56. Appreciate your efforts. I have been doing 10K intervals but have recently switched to 7500. I've considered doing oil analysis but I think I'll be satisfied with 7500. BTW My ride uses 0W-16. That is another contentious point for many, but I do use the recommended viscosity. Cheers.
    24
  57. Remember that different engine designs treat the engine oil differently. Also, temperature and standard traffic conditions matter too. Your car seems to be very happy with its life. Thanks for the video!
    23
  58. And I love how thousands will still do 3,000 miles. Regardless of the data. Humans hate to be told they’re wrong.
    22
  59. If the "dirt" is smaller than tolerances and properly suspended it is not really abrasive; at least not any more than normal operation would be. The oil filter is a critical component.
    22
  60. Nice to see some scientific evaluation of the oil on the same vehicle driven the same way. The 5-7 k interval seems to be the way to go. My Land Rover manual says 15k between changes but I do it every 5. Too expensive to replace or repair an engine.
    22
  61. I'm just impressed that an engine, driven hard for that many miles, can be in such good condition. Good job BMW!
    21
  62. I think they assume low mileage is equivalent to lots of short trips that don't heat up the engine. I have a car I don't drive often but when I do it runs for over an hour typically which gets the oil up to full temp.
    21
  63. Your approach gives a lot of credibility to that level of engine protection. Here in Australia we mostly hear about oil change intervals of 10,000 KMs. Your research gives me some reassurance that this is enough. Thankyou.
    21
  64. Mileage has some bearing, however the type of driving is a much bigger factor. Short stop/start journeys were water particles and carbon deposits are not burnt off due to the engine not reaching it optimal temperature for a period of time. So using your car once a month and driving for 100 miles none stop is better than driving for 100 miles doing 20 drives of 5 miles each time. 35yrs Motor Trade 🇬🇧

  68. I have no experience with BMW but I am a long-time Mazda person. I've always gone 7500 mi on oil changes and used quality synthetic oil and OEM filters. Just recently bought a new mazda3 with skyactiv GDI engine my first GDI. From what other Mazda enthusiast tell me I should not go beyond 5000 miles on my oil changes on this engine because of carbon build up. But I'm firm believer in the Italian tune-up which means revving up to near or at redline occasionally to burn off carbon. I think if you're running to redline everyday in that BMW, you must be doing something right to achieve that mileage and have that oil analysis result.
    20
  69. Funny, my truck has 300k miles and countless oil changes over 20 years. I've never replaced the washer.
    20
  70. I like to get my oil changes in every 14 miles or so. You folks going a whole 3000 are crazy in my book.

  71. I just installed and set this software up to use on my 2011 328i xdrive. I was having connection issues with car and software until I tried this. First verify that the Comm settings are correct as per the video. Start Inpa first, connect cable to laptop, turn power on in the car, lastly connect obd connector to the car. This was the only way I could get my e90 connected. The software had no issues and it works great 👍 Super big thank you to Endless Money Pits for providing access to the software and making a well explained video. You saved me tons of money and time!!!!!! Subscribed👌

  72. I drove a 1.6l Kia Soul 2100 miles per week for my courier job, 99.99% state highway/interstate. Spent its whole life between 55-70mph with very little exceptions, with the terrain flat as a pancake I religiously changed the oil at 5000 miles before testing the oil with the same company you used, paying the extra money for the TBN to determine if i can go longer between changes Apparently my engine was doing so good i was cleared for 15,000 mile oil changed with all the numbers being stable, just didn’t want me to push it past that just in case. I stopped testing the oil and just kept changing it at 15k. Idk if it matters that i used Royal Purple oil but the car is still running strong with 400k on the clock. I’m very glad i tested the oil, as it saved me a lot of money in oil changes
    18
  73. Brilliant to get real world results. I find them difficult having been a mechanic in a marque that went to 15k mile intervals and there was sludging/varnishing/oil usage issues across all models in our warmer climate. With the caveat that they weren't always the most diligent in servicing on time. Makes me wonder if the test results actually line up with all the actual engine systems. Not just the oil as a singularity? I've seen well maintained 400k+ motors pulled down out of interest. From cars that were wrecked that still look perfect inside. But I've also personally repaired internal parts in engines that are already varnished under the rocker at 40k. That were only serviced the 2 times at the manufacturer recommended distance. I don't like waste. I love efficiency. Especially when it comes to money. But I struggle with the cost risk of extending intervals to save money on oil.
    17
  74. Old Filter is doing its job better at filtering because the passage are getting smaller but the pressure drop will increased so the pump will work a little harder. 7500 mile with a new filter will allow you to see if double intervals filter is better than single interval. The magic number may be using 20k miles rated filter with two 7.5k miles oil change interval.
    17
  75. I've long suspected the same thing that the oil test confirmed. I too work from home and rarely drive some of my "weekend only" cars. They are both mid 80's 5.0 Mustangs that have had the same oil going on 3 years now. Both have less than 1,000 miles over the 3 year period and the oil still has a clean / clear honey color. I wasn't going to bother changing it just based on the clean color. My vehicles are kept indoors year round and stored during winters.
    17
  76. Time (calendar length) is often a reference for the style of driving. That is, 5,000 miles driven at 50 miles twice per week mainly on highways is not the same as 5,000 miles driven at short 5-mile commutes twice per day. It's a generic assumption that the car doing short range over a long calendar period has extreme pressure added to the oil due to the short commutes due to excessive idling at oil operating below the ideal temperature.
    17
  77. Clean air filter, mass airflow sensor and throttle body definitely makes engine oil stay cleaner! Try doing lower engine rpm’s and compare oil sample also fuel mileage will be way better! Interesting oil sample test results! 👍✌️
    17
  78. Quality air filters and change intervals that take into consideration the environment and road conditions are important too, as well as replacing degrading engine coolant and thermostats to effectively provide optimal engine temps in ALL seasons. Spark plugs, fuel filters, fuel choices all play a big part in the overall picture. There is a lot more to this!

  79. The two problems I have with the quad lock are, number one it’s expense, it’s very expensive for what you’re actually getting. Number two the phone case is not waterproof , unlike my Lifeproof phone case, therefore the quad lock is a no go for me, not to mention there’s that big bump on the back of the case that makes it harder to put into your pocket and retrieve from your pocket

  80. The deterioration of modern synthetic oils is largely determined by how a vehicle is used. For vehicles that do a lot of cold starts and short trips, oil will deteriorate in far fewer miles than in a vehicle that is operated at temperature. This occurs as a result of increased blow by in a cold engine, increased richness in the mixture and insufficient heat in the oil to "steam off" fuel contamination. It is likely that the reduced flashpoint in this oil sample is the result of fuel contamination in the oil. I would have perceived this to be an indicator that more frequent oil changes are required, but I'm not an engineer or a chemist, the people in the lab, are! I'd listen to them, not me. It's worth keeping in mind a few considerations that vehicle manufacturers may or may not have when specifying oil change intervals. The volume of the oil in the vehicles lubrication is a factor. Manufacturers may or may not be safeguarding against use case. They don't know whether your driving a mile to work and back, each day, or doing a fifty mile round trip. They also don't know what quality oil you will be using. They may or may not take this into account. They also don't know what environment you will be operating the vehicle in, however this is less of a consideration with modern quality synthetic oils. They may or may not factor this in. Why do I keep saying "may or may not"? The short answer is marketing appeal vs. Longevity. People, especially fleet buyers, look at long service intervals favourably when appraising a vehicle for purchase. And it's worth keeping in mind that a vehicle's warranty is only for "X" miles an "X" time, and "reasonable durability" has an expiry date, too. You've got to ask yourself the question: Was the service interval determined by an engineer, an accountant, or a marketing man? Remember, they sell "sealed for life" transmissions, too! Of course, you are going to service a new vehicle in accordance with specifications in order to maintain the warranty. Beyond that, though, the choice is yours, and should be determined by the vehicles usage and the mileage on the engine (high mileage vehicles can be harder on oil). In some cases, 4,000 mile changes might be overdue, in others, 12,000 mile changes might be fine. Nobody likes wasting money, time or resources. But how much does oil cost, and how much do you use? A couple of gallons of oil in a year, for the next 50 years is still going to work out a lot cheaper than a new engine.
    16
  81. Based on you doing the work yourself, I’d say change at the shorter interval. I always think that larger engines are less stressed than smaller ones and this seems to support that.

  82. Nice car. Takes me back to my first BMW, an e34. A 1994 540i. Loved that thing. Oil changes have always been money makers. Mobil-1 has done a few tests to prove synthetics can go the distance. In the 1990s they ran a BMW 3 series, IIRC, to a million miles with a 7500 mi oci. They also, ran two GM V6s to some super high mileage. One was a 7500 mi oci and its twin was a 15000 mi oci. Same results on tear down, almost no wear. The 15000 mi oci had some sort of emissions issue IIRC but the 1990s brought us all sorts of emission nigtmares from American car makers to be fair. Thanks for the oil analysis!!

  83. I own a 2014 CB500F and have been scouring the internet for a tutorial on how to do a coolant change. Notably, I was having troubling finding which bolts were the drain bolts. Thank you so much for uploading this!!
    15
  84. We’ve been running a small Ford Diesel from 6000 mi to currently 280000. Ford Recommended oil/filter changes are at 12500m but we’ve been changing at roughly half of that as per Haynes Manuals recommendation and the engine runs great with no significant oil consumption.👍

  85. I change my RAM's oil every 7,000 miles. Never had an issue and I'm glad your data was shown to be in my favor. 👍

  87. I have had this helmet a couple months, yes it is tight when taking it off and on but it's a lot better after breaking it in. One feature I do love about this helmet and the reason I got it, the noise. I've had 3 or 4 helmets and this is the quietest one by far. I can actually hear my speakers very well. Still hear the wind noise a little but I'm impressed with the sound!! And a Shoei will protect your head , one of the best a out doing that. Hope this helps someone to decide which helmet to purchase!!👍

  88. Take one out and replace. Keeps any dirt from falling in the open cylinders. Not everyone keeps their engine bay as clean as some of us. Great video!

  89.  @EndlessMoneyPits  that's why it's so much easier to just empty the reservoir and then use two treatments of flush at once and then mixed with the distilled water in the reservoir and don't worry about draining at this point because two treatments will take care of your issues, then when you've let the car run for a good 20 minutes or so at idle you should drain everything and pull the bottom hose off make sure your heater is on full while the treatment is running through the system, what the vehicle cool down and then do all those steps and it's always wise to change the thermostat after this is done because those flushes will damage the thermostat sometimes especially if they've been in the vehicle for a long period of time. Biggest mistake people make when they replace the thermostat is they don't put the weep hole in the north position in the thermostat housing and not doing that will cause the vehicle not to properly Purge the air out of the cooling system, when you're done filling the system fill the reservoir with a 50/50 mixture of Ford gold antifreeze and leave the cap off the overflow tank reservoir tank until all the air has been purged out this usually takes about 15 minutes after the vehicle has reached operating temperature. That will give you a perfect flush. I've owned a restoration shop for over 40 years and I always give people great advice. But thanks for putting the video out here on YouTube.

  90. That assumption is incorrect. Adding a quart of oil five times, does not equal a total loss oiling system. Adding new oil only dilutes the existing contaminated oil, so 100% of the contaminated oil is never removed. Send in a sample of your oil for testing, and you will have a truthful answer.
    14
  91. I change the oil in my motorcycle every 3-5 years. I only ride is 500-1000 miles a year. When I drain it and replace the filter, the level is still normal and it looks and smells great - still viscous and no fuel scent. It’s 20w-50 Mobil1. Bike is 41 years old and I’ve been doing it this way since 2010.
    14
  92. Very interesting video I plan to do mine once a year, which ends up at around 7.5k miles. Reassuring to hear it'll probably be good for a couple thousand miles more anyway.
    13
  93. Based on my understanding the thing that breaks down the oil more is high heat and heat cycling. This can be caused from high engine stress.
    13
  94. dang bro where the views at? better than 90% of the videos i find on yt, great job
    13
  95. I wish my expansion tank would release this easily 😂😭😭
    13
  96. I've always changed engine oil with the realisation that oil is the engine's life blood. The cleaner the oil, the healthier the engine. Oil isn't just a lubricant and I'm shocked by the number of people who think it is and don't understand why it has additives. 🥴
    13
  97. I’m convinced that manufacturers spec longer oil change intervals because they know the engines will still most likely last the entirety of the drivetrain warranty but fail more prematurely when compared a lower oil change interval. My $.02: changing your oil more frequently is much cheaper than replacing an engine and the consequential losses incurred from engine failure.
    13
  98. Next time, use the dielectric grease and install the shielding over the plug wire connector! Good idea to use an air compressor to remove loose dirt before removing plugs.
    13
  99. 6/7k intervals for most engines should be fine. Older/higher performing engines might be a good idea to go for around 5/6k.
    13
  100. This is the most thorough video I’ve seen on an e46 cooling system refresh. I appreciate how you show what tools you use in the beginning. It could be frustrating when you’re half way through a project and you realize you need to stop what your doing to make a trip to autozone because you didn’t have a tool that is necessary.
    12
  101. Great video. Confirms what I've always suspected about the frequency of oil changes. I use Castrol Magnatec and change oil every 18 to 24 months on my Mercedes Benz C200 and Mazda CX5 and have been doing so for many, many years without problems (from South Africa).
    12
  102. I have ridden one of these for 7 years, have done massive rides of over 1000 miles in 3 days and it is the best bike I have ever ridden. Period
    12
  103. My dad was a mechanic decades ago.He always said go by the colour of the oil.If it looks bad, change it.Mind you,engines were a lot simpler in those days.I still have two late 90's cars with iron blocks.
    12
  104. Are you sure that's the correct oil? That looks like 5W-30 US which is a < 3.5 HTHS Oil. BMW requires over 3.5 HTHS to provide minimum operational viscosity at higher oil temps and loads. It also doesn't meet the correct requirements for the factory service interval. The correct Castrol is 5W-30 A3/B4 which is available at most Walmarts for a similar price. It is > 3.5 HTHS and LL-01 rated.
    12
  105. Great video. Although it would have been great to include the TBN (total base number) for each oil sample. This value shows how much life is left in the oil. If the additive package is still working. But what we were able to glean from your samples was that the 10k mile oil was no longer able to do its job. The 5k and 7.5k samples were still ok to protect your engine.
    12
  106. I reuse them too! If they don't come with the oil filter I just use the old one, the thing I do is, I just rotate it 🤷‍♂️ never had leaks.
    12
  107. I am being honest. You are such an underrated youtuber and such a hardworking man. May God bless you and give you success in life brother.
    12
  108. A regular oil and filters change is a good way to check everything in the engine bay. If you spot a problem early it's easier to fix.
    11
  109. Occasional Red lining of engine helps the life of the Engine. Keeps the Engine clean.

  110. You’re going to heaven for this.
    11
  111. I try to change my vehicles oil every 7000 kilometres. Why? Well modern engines are made to much finer tolerances than in the past. Bearing clearances are much tighter. The oils used are consequently much lighter and often very specific. Any contamination will quickly cause problems. The engines are in far less resilient than old engines with heavier oils. Result their are many modern highly complex quality engines e.g. Toyota Landcruiser 200 that fail very early requiring replacement. Oil is cheap filters are cheap air filters are cheap.
    11
  112. Great vid but there is a much better lubricant avialable. Silicone breaks down in direct sunlight and becomes hard then brittle. That particular lubricant is relatively short term. Use a lithium soaped lubricant like RHF1. Krytox is another option. It's long term in direct sunlight and saltwater resistant. Also, cover your paint, lubricants cause clearcoats to break down or bubble.
    11
  113. The main thing to remember if you don't do your oil changes very often is to keep an eye if your coolant level is lower. Coolant can leak into your engine oil. You can tell if that happened by seeing that your engine oil level is overfull.
    11
  114. My experience: Year 2000 E46 328i. Went 7 years without oil change and only 5,000 kms (3,000miles) traveled. Oil still looked perfect; cartridge oil filter had petrified to the point of breaking apart when removed.
    11
  115. Wow such a great video. Really nice shots, editing and voiceover. I knew these things before I took on the job but wish I would have seen your video first.
    11
  116. I think the biggest problem with extended oil changes is that a lot of car owners think that means you don't have to lift up the hood between oil changes. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. A lot of modern engines naturally consume significant amounts of oil because they were designed with looser fitting piston rings to reduce friction and save gas. Your BMW may not consume much oil, but a lot of cars would be almost bone dry after 10,000 miles without periodically topping off the oil.
    11
  117. Amaaaazing video! I have asked myself this question for years and never found a clear answer. Thank you!!! Please continue doing this!
    10
  118. I change my 22' corolla hybrid oil once a month or so at 5k. 85k down so far. Hope to get about 350-450k miles out of this one🤞 My old commuter yaris i sold off at 300k n ran like a top.
    10
  119. Yes you are right, these engines love 5w40 or 0w40 oils, 5w30 is just a bit too thin, especially if you drive your car hard.
    10
  120. I love my 500 , I have a couple of Bikes but for the city this is the one I prefer the most. There is a way to make it a bit.. Faster 0-100mph by changing the Gearing (minus 1 in the Front sprocket) n adding a stage 2 air intake and of course removing all the un necessary weight. Plate bracket, mirrors n Muffler. Adding some Pirelli Rosso 3 or 4 will improve dramatically cornering. This combo helps launches you off the line like Rocket. But Top speed was reduced to 100mph.

  121. I use stem mounts on my Ebikes. I prefer my phone mount to be centered on my bikes. It's more aesthetically pleasing to have the symmetry of the phone below my Bike display.

  122. Cool to find this video in my timeline. Have used the same oil (Castrol Edge, except for diesel engines in a bronze bottle) for abt. 5-6 years in all three family cars - BMW with the N57 (190kW), Audi with the ASB engine (171kW) and Mercedes with a 2 litre 4cyl 98kW engine (don't know the engine code). So far I've changed the oil at maximum 10 000 kms (I know I should do better) - along with the filter always - and no engine problems on the cars (all are mid-200 000 kms, strangely enough). Also - I don't think there's any downside to replacing the oil filter as often as you want - and OEM Mahle filters cost EUR 8 for the Merc and the Bimmer and abt. EUR 15 for the audi - so you're not really saving much. Also - am slowly gathering up video footage of an oil change I do with 3 types of extractors - and the "usual way" - to determine if the hands-down ease and comfort and speed and cleanliness and (well) safety of changing with an extractor pump is warranted. Thanks and greetings from Latvia.

  123.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Unfortunately, it is also in Germany to convince people how important an oil change is, that the oil is the most important fluid in a combustion engine. Unfortunately, the time when premium manufacturers were serious is over.
    10
  124. My wife’s Mercedes M272 3.5L V6 has had 10K+ intervals it’s entire life and now has 323K miles with zero mechanical issues- mobil1 15W50

  125. The big enemies of oil are moisture and particulate contaminants. Modern oil filters can reduce the particulate loads in the size ranges that can affect engine wear very efficiently and so this form of damage is usually well-controlled, even at high mileage intervals between changes. Moisture, however, is subject to the driving characteristics- short trips in colder climates can accumulate significant amounts of water in the oil. It is important to get the engine hot enough for long enough to evaporate the cold-start moisture from the oil. Moisture will catalyze oil polymerization, which increases oil viscosity with age. Moisture also will react with the additives used to control corrosion and eventually depletes them sufficiently that the oil becomes acidic, and metal damage accelerates. So if cars are driven frequent short trips in a cold climate, shorter change intervals are necessary.
    10
  126. I've been reusing them for 8 years and just flip it over with each oil change. Never had leaks or any other problems.
    9
  127. Interesting testing results. The core question is: "How often is too often?" (and the inverse). The quality of synthetic oil far exceeds that of conventional oils of just 20 to 30 years ago. In most manuals I have read, the manufacturer's recommended periodicity of oil changes depends upon driving conditions. At the same time, if your engine goes bad they get to sell you another engine...or maybe even a new vehicle. All that said, I simply can't imagine driving conditions would not warrant needing a oil change <15k miles.
    9
  128. Totally right. I use Mobile One full synth and only change my oil every 15,000 no matter how long it takes! You are right the only reason to change the oil more frequently would be if your engine overheats as that can damage the oil! Thanks.
    9
  129. Very informative video. It does seem the 10,000 miles motor oil change interval is a little too long for this particular BMW. The 5000 miles and 7500 miles motor oil change intervals seem to be about the same, so 7500 miles interval is sufficient for this BMW. This vehicle is a BMW 3 series and this German sedan has a good reputation for reliability and performance. Plus the engine of this particular BMW is not loosing motor oil, so it is a well-maintained engine. It does have 260,000 to 275,000 total mileage during the tests. Yet, this vehicle seems to be able to handle 7500 miles motor oil change interval. Which is amazing. Previous and current owner has done a great job maintaining the engine and the BMW 3 vehicle overall. Thank you for a great analysis.
    9
  130. Thanks for the excellent video! I'm assuming your M52 has not had a turbocharger installed or other high performance tuning done, and is completely stock. That being said, engines with direct injection and turbochargers place a lot more stress on the oil and have to have oil changes more frequently with full synthetic oil highly suggested. For the Ford F150 with the twin turbo 2.7 liter v6 a 7500 mile change interval is suggested for "normal" service with 5000 miles suggested for severe duty service. I always change at 5000 miles. Almost no one qualifies for normal service if you read the fine print.
    9
  131. Something important to consider as a curve ball to all this. If you have DI then, change it more often to help reduce the inherent carbon deposits on important parts such as timing chains. Also, use a specific 'low sludge' oil that has meets the VW spec. There is a Mobil 1 & a Shell Ultra that do ;) DI creates a whole other world of problems for oil maufacturers...
    9
  132. Another great video! You definitely have a knack for making these. I changed out my belt thanks to you!
    9
  133. My motorcycle and weekend car haven’t had an oil change in 2 years. But I’m busy so I put 500 miles on the car and 100 miles on the bike and the oil still looks new. This video does not give me motivation to do the oil changes until next year.
    9
  134. Extremely well done video! So professional, I'm surprised Honda isn't paying you for it lol
    9
  135. good info - I might try something like this on my new 3.5L ford ecoboost engine. The pickup is a daily driver, but the majority of milage comes from road trips and pulling a small camper. I think the experiment would be even better if you pulled the samples from the same oil (not after changes). There are little vacuum pumps that can suck oil from the dipstick tube and deposit it directly in the oil sample cup. Pulling a sample from the same oil cycle at progressing mileages would eliminate some variables like differences from jug to jug of oil or filters.
    9
  136. I'm impressed that out of all the videos I have seen so far you were the only one who included the correct torque rating for the plugs. I just read it in a manual and was surprised when someone else actually included it in their video which is super helpful. Thanks for making these.

  137. Having done maintenance work on military equipment, then supplying parts (logistics), they have a 2 tier system. If a (motor) is stationary, hours are used. On mobile vehicles, km/mph, and...hours are used. My Ford manual says 1 hour of idle time is equivalent to 33 miles of driving. I use the hour meter instead of the odometer, on my Ford/Chevy vehicles. On average, when the hour meter is at 50%, I change oil n filter, which equals every 3 months, and equivalent to 3k miles. If I follow my hour meter to 0%, it equates to 7500 miles which is also on my oil change sticker from Ford n Chevy. Suggestion..use your hour meter, if your vehicle has one. Too many people let there vehicle idle, to use there phones or entertainment systems. The result is a barely used vehicle chassis, but the drivetrain has well over 50k miles of (use). That said, when buying used, I feel any vehicle over 20k miles, on average, has well over 50/60k miles of use. Be wary..
    9
  138. I have our oil changed every 4K miles (every 6 months on our pickup which is about 1K miles). I also change the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission flush every 30K miles. The radiator is back flushed and new antifreeze is installed every 3 years. New belts and hoses every 50K miles.
    9
  139. Great video, thanks! It really helped to see someone else do it! Might be worth adding a warning that if you live in a hard water area do not use the garden hose or tap water in your cooling system - I’ve seen the inside of my kettle! I just went to the hardware store and got about 4L / a gallon of demineralised water for about 2 bucks. Also since the offical Honda coolant is bloody hard to get where I live in a Covid world, I’ll make it easier for the next person: you just need a silicate free ethylene glycol coolant. In Australia the easiest to get is Penrite blue, it’s everywhere. Buy the concentrate as it’s basically half the cost of the premix and mix it 50:50 with some of the demineralised water you got from Bunnings. If you live in a hard water area like me, you might want to do a flush with 50:50 cleaning vinegar to demineralised water if the bike is used, just in case someone else topped it up at some point with hard tap water and it’s getting a bit scaley in there. Just fill the system up with the water vinegar mix, (can reuse the old washers for this step) go for a 10 minute ride, let the bike cool down for a few hours and then proceed to drain that, wash out the vinegar with some demineralised water and then add your coolant.

  140. Thank you for the stellar km conversions. Everyone should do that for the international audience

  141. Thank you for this video, I use synthetic oil and I am retired and put about 100 miles a year. I have not changed the oil in 3 years and it still looks good on the dip stick, however, I did have to add a quart about a year ago and all is good.
    8
  142. Based on just the data you showed, you need to run two oil intervals of 7,500 miles and compare them. On both oil changes send the filter with them and have them do a particle load test. One more thing. Have you thought about doing these tests with Shell Ultra Helix 5w-30? The filter youre are using is phenomenal, and a very good choice for BMW.
    8
  143.  @Rekt-M8-v4  Agree 100% Lighter oils recommended by the manufacturer are for optimum fuel mileage, not engine lifespan.
    8
  144. I changed the oil on my Honda crx, every 18-20k miles, after it hit 240k. It was at 340k and I sold it, still running perfect lol. I've never had a car that the engine died, due to oil issues. Every time, something else ended up being the thing that made the car junk, like transmission, frame etc.. Unless you really abuse an engine, it will most likely run longer than the rest of the car. I have to laugh when people get so uptight about oil, it doesn't really matter until hundreds of thousands of miles later, when the car is junk anyways.

  145. Loved the video , I didnt know I could do those many mods to my 500cc. Maybe in the future i will use this video as inspiration to personalize my bike.

  146. I don’t think u realise how good of a tutorial this is! I know it’s the same steps as what Bali wrote up, but it makes so much more sense watching the whole process like this. Thank u, and Bali, for making this process so easy

  147. It's always so impressive to me how these car channels can be so small but make such good content. Great stuff.
    8
  148. I always go by 6 months 8 to 10 thousand kilometres one issue that effects my oil adversely is short trips in very cold weather. There are points in the winter where we see -40 for 10 days in a row. All the excess fuel used for cold start enrichment finds it’s way into the oil. I always do a spring oil change no matter how low the mileage is. Interesting video cheers 🍻

  150. You need to call that guy apologize and pay him the original sale agreement! You got a great deal simply bcuz you're over paranoid and scared of your own shadow.

  151. The settings in the manual are with the bike on the ground resting on its sidestand.
    8
  152. short trips are terrible for cars, you don't give the engine a chance to expand, and not enough time for the engine to heat up to start burning off moisture, this will lead to poor wear characteristics and lots of expresso mix in the oil. Worst wear occurs on start up and shut down of engine as the different materials expand and contract. I would suggest either an EV, or a honestly a bike for a mile commute... that's a lot of wasted fuel, and resources for that short of a drive.
    8
  153. I love your CB 500 content. I’ve gone down the YouTube rabbit hole for info on this bike. Your vids are super informative, and just well done in general. I have a 2015 CB 500X with Rally Raid level 2 kit. Referenced your spark plugs video yesterday when changing the very buried plugs… thank you

  154. Cool. I do 5k OCI with Kirkland 5w-30 full synthetic. My 2006 Matrix has 204, 437 miles and runs like new. About to do it's 41st oil change.
    7
  155. I do my oil changes at 4000-5000 Km (about half that recommended by the manufacturer) in my 1998 Honda Accord V6 and 2002 CR V. I use synthetic oil and Honda oil filters. Never had any engine issues. The CR V uses maybe 500 mL between oil changes. No rattles on start up cold or hot with either. I think I’ll continue if anything I could I decrease the frequency but won’t. It’s still cheap insurance.🎉
    7
  156. The BEST oil change video for the XT250 on YouTube. 👍
    7
  157. I’ve always been a firm believer in 24 month oil changes, no matter what. My new bought 1988 Toyota van went 310k km, perfect drive train, junked because body rust. My current 2002 Caravan, 330k, runs perfect, uses about a liter oil per 2k now. But of course, as they always say, your mileage may vary.

  159. I have owned my 2005 ZHP E46 330i since new, despite having almost 289,682KM (180,000 M) on the odometer she drives as great and smooth as the day I drove her off the dealership lot. I change my oil and filter every 4,800KM (3,000M), Liqui Moly Special Tech 5W-30 LL-01 and MANN filter. Other than a few sets of spark plugs, all coolant hoses replaced at 161,000KM , upper and lower pully/tensions & matching serpentine belts all is still factory! I average around 14.03 KM/L (33 MPG U.S.) Greetings from Switzerland

  161. I did it!! The hardest part was finding the 8mm socket and figuring out which way to put the locket ring back on. It was surprisingly easy <20mins. For over a week my BF kept saying he w do it, but I was ancy - scared I'd get pulled over for headlight out. I found your vid and voila. Thanks for posting. THANK YOU!!

  164. I have watched a few videos for replacing the alternator on my Yaris, this is the best bar far, great lighting, showing the multi plug rely well,that one was causing me stress, I now feel confident to do the job, thanks a lot.

  165. You know; I have watched A LOT of your 500r play list, and saved most of these to my own private playlist for easy access for what I need. Moral is, not all hero's wear capes , so here is your 👑 king

  166. You've put so many of my oil change anxiety away with this. I am subscribing to you. I have two cars and it's hard for me to get either one at even 3,000 miles a year on each.
    7
  167. I use the Costco store brand synthetic. It’s $4/qt. So far, no issues.
    7
  168. I change my oil every 5k miles on the cars that are daily driven. My other 4 NON daily driven are changed once per year because they are only driven one day per week and that drive is only about a 20 mile round trip. EDIT: Also yea you have NO idea what the previous owner did to the car or how long they went between oil changes. You can only HOPE they went to actual oil change places to have it done and then its marked in the system that it was done. Where as John Doe claims he did his own oil changes every X miles, you have to hope he is right. I am that John Doe guy, i do ALL my own oil changes and they are ALL done every 5k miles with basic conventional oil, i don't use synthetic, don't see a point, oil is going to break down.
    7
  169. With modern direct-injection engines you can't really drag out the oil changes too far because the oil gets fuel deluded that being said my old 98 pickup I've taken to 20,000 miles on Amsoil and the oil was fine but it's port fuel injection. my GT i change every 2 years about 2k-4k miles it dont get driven as much. cool video i love Blackstone labs!!

  170. I 'm doing 67 Nova 283 oil and filter change after 4 yrs of use in about week:) I drive it like 20-25 times a yr around my area for a few miles warming it up to take the wife to store and back and some local cruising. Had it for 26 yrs now, no issues. knock on wood :P

  171. Good video, just one observation, the chain slack is measured through the slit in the chain guide from the top of the swing arm, not the chain slider, measuring from the slider adds around 5mm to the final figure.
    6
  172. I'm always amazed at the number of oil experts who seemingly appear out of nowhere with loads of free technical information when an oil thread or video pops up. You guys are amazing! Caveat Emptor: free advice/ technical information is worth exactly what you pay for it... nothing.

  173. Always wear ear plugs. Once you get tinitus you will get why you should have worn them, but by then it will be too late.

  174. 220 is not bad. The thermostat is set at around 190, and the fans start operating at around 225 and 235 I believe. Your shouldn’t run the engine hard either until 200f. It is the design of the engine. I live in Florida, drive in stop and go traffic and mine averages around 225 which is normal for traffic and falls back to around 210 on the road. Things you can do to bring that temp down if you want, however, like I said before, those temps are perfectly normal. -Blow out the radiator and a/c. Because of the design of the forced air for radiator these things will suck up grass and debris off the road and create a little hay bale inside that cavity. Lots of tutorials on how to do this online. - a good coolant flush, then refill with proper coolant. When doing so replace the cap with a new one. - you can change to a lower thermostat, still wouldn’t recommend this, let the engine heat up like it is designed. If you plan on adding anything for more horsepower and output, then a lower thermostat might be a viable option. - check your harmonic balancer. These are known to go bad and slippage can happen causing the pump to not run efficiently. If the balancer was bad however, you would be able to tell from it moving forward or backward rubbing on rack or timing cover housing. - and lastly you can use a programmer like HP tunes to change the temperature settings of the fans on and off. Again, beautiful car, I have an 01 c5 convertible in torch red also with 260,000 miles on it. 220f is normal. Hope this helps.

  175. Hi, nice video and build. Probably the most complete and thoughtful "tools and material needed" I've ever seen in any video. A couple things that hopefully you haven't had yet any problems with yet - those power resistors can get HOT, so keep that in mind when locating them and when using zip ties, for instance. The other potential (probable, eventually) issue is by using those splice tap connectors - while they are very convenient, they are not suitable for use in a vehicle, ESPECIALLY an off-road rig. Unless you enjoy chasing electrical gremlins routinely, I would strongly suggest you replace every one in your vehicle with a better connection. Soldering and adhesive heat-shrink tubing in probably best, but those new butt splices with the adhesive heat-shrink and solder ball that melts are really good AND convenient. Both are much better choices. Inside the vehicle is less critical, and I generally use regular crimp connections there, but never the splice taps. I've been a professional Electrician for over 3 decades and have also done car audio and electronics professionally. I have a '99 WJ that I built. Nice rig and thanks for the great info!
    6
  176. Remember, new cars has smaller engines and usually use full synthetic, so 5k is a joke now for oil change. My 2018 forester is at 170k miles and at 15k miles oil change with no issues.
    6
  177. I have a 2000 Toyota Echo - known as Yaris is other market with 285.000kms and it's been burning oil for as long as I've had it (100.000kms). In my own experience going from 5w-30 to 5w-40 has helped reduced oil consumption - down to 1L every 5k kms. I'm surprised by the lab conclusion that the oil leak is from the valve stem seal. A dry then wet compression test will show if it's instead a piston ring issue.
    6
  178. Mate, I cant believe how easy you made this look. I have owned an E46 for 8 years snd have been trying to learn inpa for at least 4 years but never understood it, till now! THANK YOU so much for doing this.
    6
  179. I've had my '03 GTI for 21 years now as my daily driver, and used LiquiMoly, changed at 6,000 to 7,500 intervals (filter too). Original chains and no engine issues after all these years! More reliable than a Toyota!
    6
  180. Here in Europe 18.5k miles (30k kilometers) intervals are the most common. I think 18.5k is a little much, but we've changed our oil every 20k kilometers and engines lasted 350k miles easily with that interval. I do also believe the oil filters we have in Europe are far superior to the US brands. Brands like Mann, Mahle, and Purflux are just top notch quality. The US filters all seem very cheaply made, which I don't understand, as the US makes some first class oils (big fan of Mobil myself). I think the better filters here can certainly extent the oil intervals.

  183. I'm an oil burner tech in Massachusetts and a month ago purchased a 99 mercury sable off my customer her elderly mother who passed away this past summer had purchased the car new it had been sitting for a couple years since she was disabled and it only has 57 thousand miles on it paid 800 bucks needed detailing inside and out but worth it doing this today on her as preventive maintenance only is hers does not have the splash shield
    6
  184. This was awesome. I need this done to my 2002 Mercury Sable. Something isn't right with it!! Love the music and how you showed the exact tools you used.

  187. I really didn't want to take the front bumper off like this (if you saw me in action you'd know why lol) but honestly this video has given me some more confidence to maybe tackle it myself. You did a very nice job and very clean presentation. Thank you.
    6
  188. Being cheap and going longer then 7k miles is a good way to cook a set of piston rings and scratch your cylinder walls in 50k miles to make your car a real oil burner. 5k miles is my best measure for good oil and changing. You always want good oil to leave behind in a change while adding back better oil. My oil is normally clear and when it browns my towels its time to change it and that is normally happening at 4300 to 5k miles. Thats coming out a toyota engine.
    6
  189. I worry more about oil-filter breakdown than oil contamination. Oil may last two years, but filters do not. I would recommend an oil and filter change at least once a year, no matter how few miles driven. Changing the filter with oil twice a year is better.
    6
  190. You’re exactly right on oil change intervals. I’ve been doing 13k intervals on my 2003 Odyssey for more than 100k. But before going extended oil changes, I would do used oil analysis to see if you can extend your oil changes based on your engine, climate and driving habits.
    6
  191. Paid to have it done. However your video made it look like I MIGHT be able to do it with some new tools and a prayer.!!!!!
    6
  192. I had a 1981 BMW 320I and changed the oil at 21000 miles. I used AMSOIL and it came back good at 21000 when I had it analized. I sold the car with 187000 miles and it still looked like new inside when I checked the valve adjustment.
    6
  193. Seen this beaut around town! 275k is impressive indeed. I've got a '99 328i with the same excellent M52TU. Read many threads on oil changes but can't recall a single one on this engine. I run Mobil1 0w-40 @ 10k intervals. After watching, I'll reduce to 7.5k and set the car's change interval to reflect. Thanks for the excellent analysis on this. Earns my vote for Jan '23 ride of the month 😉
    6
  194. For what it is worth, dealer recommened oil +filter change around 8k to 10k works wonders. Cleaner the oil, less the wear.
    6
  195. I keep thinking I should make some of these types of videos for my 2021 CBR500R, but every time I watch your videos I know I could never do any better than you’re doing.

  197. Thanks for confirming much of my understanding. Years ago one of the first benefits found with synthetics involves water and its ability not to form sludge. I wonder whether that holds true for synthetic blends.
    6
  198. ​@Endless Money Pits Well its a Honda so...🤷🤦🤦🤦

  199. first i got a estimate from my local mechanic, he wanted 450eur for the job so i did the most sensible thing i spent 500eur in tools and 300 in parts to change the bushings and the control arms. best for 4 i spend in it ahhahahaha

  200. I am impressed by the quality of this video. The wrench sizes being in the corner. The list of tools from the get-go. The clarity of your script/speech. A very well done video. Thank you.

  201. Thank you so much for this!! I love that I can find videos like this so I can fix my own car.....it definitely gives me a sense of pride knowing I dont need to go to a mechanic, or call up a guy friend when stuff comes up..... I can just do it myself!!

  202. Awesome, I was able to fix the airbag light on my 2005 X3! Thank you so much.

  203. That's interesting. I just used my Dremel tool and cut out the original plastic on both sides just up to the fog lights. I have that split intake like most people have on their C5's. I tested it out with my leaf blower and yes the air travel to the filters on either side. I have definitely noticed a difference with throttle response and flow of heat away from the engine bay.
    5
  204. Without this video. We would not know the difference between "5, 7.5 and 10K miles". This is a useful and informative video. Kudos to EMP!
    5
  205. At red line engine speeds the alternator spins two to three times faster. Those bearings in the alternator will have a short life. As well the brushes and slip rings wear out faster. Is it good for the engine at those high speeds, I doubt it. Low revving diesels will get over a million miles and racing cars about five hundred miles to a thousand miles before rebuilds. Speed wears things out. Just my 2cents.
    5
  206. I always go by mileage, regular dino oils I change at 3000 miles and synthetics I change at 5000 miles. I know particularly on the synthetics I could go longer intervals but being retired it sometimes takes me quite a while to accumulate the mileage numbers anymore so I opt to shorten that interval a bit. Also I always install a new filter with every oil change, cheap insurance to know its all fresh both the oil and the filter when changed. And yes to me wasting a few dollars as I go is still cheaper than pushing the limits and needing to replace an engine due to oil related premature failure.
    5
  207. This is good to know I have several old cars that are probably driven less than 2000 miles a year so I change the oil maybe 1 time a year or even 2 years.
    5
  208. Great video.. thanks for posting your results. I usually do oil changes every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).

  210. Depends on the type of drives. My standpoint (in KM) : Many long drives up to 500km /day : max 15K or 6 months Normal drives, occasional long drive : max 10K or 6 months Many short drives : max 7.5K or 6 months Track : after racing session / day/weekend

  212. I got the exactly same bike same color :D. I did this oil change myself around a month ago :) perfect video editing. I saw your past video of the air filter (my next thing to do) . keep the videos going.
    5
  213. Not only hours, cold engine hours that accumulates water and unburnt fuel. My mom's gasoline had almost 10% of gas in OIL 😨😨😨 because the new Euro 6 engines have heavy idle warm cycles that let gas go in the oil sump.

  215. My bmw 545i has always had oil changes every 5/6000 miles and also gets redlined a few times a week. I’ve often found regular oil changes at this interval to prolong any vehicle I’ve owned
    5
  216. It’s the front splitter causing the overheating issue.
    5
  217. I was thinking this was a way to reduce under hood temps, it seems it's just a way to get the side of the door dirtier.
    5
  218. 0:17 there are other European car manufacturers recommending oil change after almost 20k miles.. good luck with a seized engine right after the guarantee period is over LOL
    5
  219. Thank you, been looking for a decent tutorial for quite a while, much apricated.
    5
  220. You should have gotten the added TBN test. It will give you more of an idea on how much life the oil has left in it. That's the most important part of extended drain intervals.
    5
  221. Everyone should get Blackstone analysis done. There's so much opinions out there. The analysis isn't expensive (compared to what people spend on car washes, detail jobs). There's nothing like knowing what's going on with your car, your driving habits, your climate, etc. I have a GDI engine which I'd heard results in fuel getting into the oil. I thought 6-mo oil changes (or even more frequent) would be desirable. Oil analysis showed no fuel in the oil. No moisture (I drive frequent short trips, the classic "at risk" for moisture). I've settled on 5k miles no matter how long it takes to reach that. The analysis shows that is working fine.

  222. I hope you make enough to make this channel worth your while, because this is a masterclass!

  223. Really cool that you put also metric references to the video... I am from Germany and have troubles comparing the Numbe4s during watching a video...
    5
  224. Oil is cheap? Maybe before covid and war. it DOUBLED in price. It's more expensive than single tire.
    5
  225. How about not changing oil for 20 000 miles and just adding and adding new one.
    5
  226. Very informative video. Will be getting my first bike soon and it will most likely be the 2017 Graphite Black Honda CBR500R. Extremely hyped at the moment! Once again, cheers for the video!

  227. This video should have more likes, good explained!
    5
  228. I had a 3.0 tdi, did 30k km (18k miles) change, no issues until 160k miles until I sold it 5 years ago. The new owner tuned it to 350hp and still going strong without problem. The trick - the car was nearly never driven less than 50 miles in one drive. Long drives at operating temperature do not nearly as much contaminate oil as many short drives.
    5
  229. So I found out Scotty Kilmer's favourite channel.

  235. I think many people change their oil far too often. I changed mine every 3500 miles religiously. However, being a jet engine mechanic I switched to a full synthetic oil. Commercial jets use full synthetic oil and they never change it. The engines consume it as they run. And the synthetic oil does not break down under tremendous stress and heat. Likewise for automotive engines. I change mine every 15,000 now and it seems just fine.
    5
  236. In Europe for new cars under warranty oil change interval is 30000 km or 24 months whatever comes 1st. With synthetic oil I really doubt any degradation can happen under 24 months period. Beyond that interval I guess some can happen so I would avoid changing oil if less frequent than every 2 years no matter what mileage you drive. But I guess 3 years would still work for someone driving less than 5000 km per year. Realistically car would fail from other issues before oil is a problem if sitting for too long.
    5
  237. The solution is to have a car thatbdoesnt leak. Just another reason in my book why not to buy a BMW. 😁 California is whack! Thanks for sharing.

  238. A Sena or Cardo can still be mounted to this helmet. Revzill and Gears & Gadgets videos on this helmet show you still can. It's just a tight fit and might press the cheek pad closer to your face when using the clamp style mount or you can just use the adhesive mount instead.

  239. No ...no .no. Never use an oil filter over 5000 miles ..ever. Only filter useable that long is Mobil 1. Nice car Nitro Joe.

  247. The solid rubber Meyle HD seems to last forever, got my ones on in 2012-2013 something and they are still good. Before that the car had genuine bushings replaced 2 times I believe. (323Ci 11/99 with 210 600 km/131k miles)

  250. Interesting video! My tip for your Toyota is to use RVS. I have used it in over 20 cars. Oilconsumtion will disapear and the engine will run super smooth. Read more online. This is not an ad! Keep making great videos! Science is nice! /Volvo and BMW driver from Sweden.

  255. I like your video as your detail tips and repaired so I own 2015 Nissan rouge S and i get oil change to go dealer and he want change brake fluid as service schedule in maintenance 30k @ $137. When i watching them from window i didn’t see them to remove any tire or bleed the line so what do you think dealer did scheme with me? What do you think does 2015 Nissan rouge S need break fluid replacement to remove tire and bleed or not? Because if Brake fluid replace, then they have clean or flush or bleed line to remove old fluid. As honest mechanic what is your advice or think on that dealer job?
    4
  256. Oil analysis alone doesn't give the complete representation of the engine internals. For that, look at the videos where the engine was actually taken apart to see the sludge, varnish, and condition of the oil control rings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rqRhxF0Jwo
    4
  257. This bobblehead debate will continue forever....because nobody is testing same oil for results....but few people actually stick with same oil for duration and change at same place with same person. I change my own. I ONLY use Amsoil. It's higher dollar...but also highly consistent and high quality. I'll stick to around 7500 miles to ALWAYS remain in the safe zone for TBN. There is no such thing as changing it too soon...fresher and less contaminant is ALWAYS better....if you can afford that. It's funny when I see a person complaining about having no money to maintain their car....but carrying a Starbucks cup...or have 4 dogs...or a $150 hair dye....or only buy organic....or whatever the real waste is. Plan for car maintenance and include it in your budget.

  258. You could also try additives for the valve stems. I heard "Forte seal conditioner" solves the harden valve stem issue. Probably the second best thing from straight up replacing the valve stems.

  266.  @emausderratsuchende5447  Something happened in the 90-s, or, rather, everybody knows what had happened, same as with (e.g.) Nokia - the leadership and power in boards of companies went from being made up of local guys with background in Engineering and Manufacturing to international MBA types with experience in Finance. "Greed is good", quarterly profits is all that matter, those types. I'd say German cars are still good, compared to any competition, as long as one remembers that longevity was not in mind during design process.

  267. The driver side bulb in my wife's 2005 Taurus went out literally last night (7/16/23) and after getting a pair of replacements from the Riebes/Napa right around the corner for $36, I was able to replace both bulbs in less than ten minutes with this guide. I love people like you who are clear, concise and get right to the point with well shot and easy to follow guides - I feel like less of a dumbass when I can understand the directions and get it right the first time.

  270. i think this is a sign that the engine is still in good condition. if it was burning oil or you did have water getting into the oil, you would want to change the oil alot more often . useful information
    4
  271. I have an 09 Prius with the 1.5 and around 100k miles it used to burn 1 quart every 1500 miles with 5k miles OCI. I started changing my oil at 3k miles using Kirkland 5w-30 and today it burns half a quart at 3k miles. I really believe the shorter OCI helped clean things up a little. My Prius has 184k. I change the oil myself for under $20 with OEM filter. If there’s a Costco near you the oil goes on sale $30 for two 5 quart jugs. That’s $3 a quart for full synthetic Perfect for an oil burner. Very informative video by the way
    4
  272. I do agree with you about filling up the oil filter first before installing it back on the vehicle that I owned at the time

  273. I’ve changed my oil when I just about can’t see my oil dip stick level lines through the oil. Oil could still be decent but not up to my own personal standards. You must realize your oil will take in soot carbon fuel moisture and more. Best oil is clean oil. Oil is cheaper than an engine. Fifty five years of doing it this way never ever had a engine problem but what do I know. 😊

  274. Oil is cheap, just change it often, why run the risk
    4
  275. Just fill in pure water 🤣🤣🤣

  276. My 91 civic had the same crush washer for the life of the car - almost 200k miles before the transmission died. Never any leak from the oil drain plug. Had to replace the oil pan gasket though.

  277. Great video and I appreciate the time and effort for analysis.

  280. I'm so set on this bike, waiting for the 2024 model to hit the market. 1)I saw the Yoshi on their official channel and I thought it sounded great. Until someone commented it sounds like a naked, not a sports bike. I thought that made sense. Don't know if you'd agree. 2) The guy that suggested to shorten the gearing, does he own one, I'm curious,or did he mention it as a general suggestion for all bikes. Because there's a thing as too short and there's the ideal gearing. This bike hits the rev limiter at 177km/h true speed/189 indicated, well over max power. Max performance as far as top speed is concerned is achieved at,say,150 revs over max power. Add the fact this is a torquey parallel twin and there's a case to be made the gearing is actually woefully short. I understand why Honda would do this since there's not a lot of power there, they have to accommodate heavier riders and also make it livelier for reviewers and owners alike. I can also see that at 75mph the engine is already well past max torque revs so there's defo a lot of room for lengthening the gearing. Looking forward to getting mine in a few months and reassessing my comment, might be epic or may be embarrassing. Happy riding 😁

  282. I have this helmet for a few months now and I got cauliflower ear from it. Had to get my ear drained 3 times. It’s very tight to put on and take off. I wore it everyday pretty much and didn’t break it much.
    4
  283. What about manual transmission
    4
  284. Thanks for this really pro video. Clear video where you can find all info. I was able to find info on this which was requested by the bloke Who has been fixing bikes for 40 years.
    4
  285. Came here for the torque specs, thanks!
    4
  286. Very well put video mate i have the exact same model and color and i can agree with every single point you've said in the video. I also tried to make a review but it's nowhere near as good as yours! Love the cbr content
    4
  287. Nice work. I have seen many BMW leak vids however I must say that you have done a very direct clear and concise video here! Kudos!
    4
  288. Thanks for this level-headed review and double thanks for the metric conversions! Cheers from Canada 😂

  289. This was helpful, no one else mentioned the shield, not even the repair manual!
    4
  290. Satisfying,high quality content.
    4
  291. This is not worth $140
    4
  292. Take my word for it. Never waste the time or money trying to change out the upper ball joints. Definitely good advice here, spend the little extra and just change the whole thing.
    4
  293. Great instructions, to the point and well shown. Thanks so much.
    4
  294. I dig that rear hugger. I think I am going to get one for mine. It goes farther back at the top of it than I thought. Ride safe.
    4
  295. Thanks. Good and simple.
    4
  296. Great info. Thanks. I suspected the bumper would have to come off and your instructions confirmed that and saved me a frustrating wrestle.
    4
  297. Great video! What is the life expectation of synthetic oil in years? Thoughts anyone?
    4
  298. Dam this has to be one of the easiest belt replacements ever. my 2zzge belt replacement was a fucking nightmare and the tensioner was rounded off so 2 guys had to use prybars to loose it just to get the new belt on plus it was super tight
    4
  299. David, I very much appreciate this video. It opened up my knowledge of engine oil analysis. I will use the same lab you used when I have my engine oil tested. Thank You sir for the entertaining and educational video. Keep up the good work. Have A Great Day! 🛻🚚🚛
    4
  300. Good camera views. I'm going to upgrade to better halogens soon and it was helpful to see this video. Thank you :D
    4
  301. How did you get the bottom piece at 5:50 to come out with the expansion tank? Mine stayed on and now the new tank doesn't sit properly, leaks from that small connector that doesn't have a metal clip
    4
  302. Are those stock bars? My understanding (at least for the non rally version), is that there are weights in the stock bar ends threaded for an M6 bolt that need to be drilled out and tapped to accept it unless you choose to use an M6 instead. I bought the same guards and did a test fit yesterday and also found my clutch lever appears as if it is going to rub on the guard (mind you it was a very crude test fitting as I didn't have time on my side).
    3
  303. Great video! Very informative and detailed! 💪 However I came up with a question.. Can't you just let the bleed screw open while "pumping" the lever and only close it when you finish? Or the way you (very well) explained is mandatory to avoid air in the system?
    3
  304.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yeah, I wasn’t really thinking in the way the system works. What you wrote makes perfect sense. Btw, I checked the Honda Shop Manual for my bike, and the process described is exactly how you teached in your video. Cheers! 🏍️
    3
  305. No no. Its not all baloney. If you have a port-injected gasoline engine(which most NA petrol engines are) then you can safely go 2 years without an oil change with less than average miles. But if you have direct-injection gas engines or turbo diesels, it must be changed within a year coz the fuel dilution is too high with such engines.
    3
  306. But when I change the oil at 3000 miles, I hear the engine sound has become softer and smoother, why?????
    3
  307. Been using this helmet for the track way before I got my first bike in 21. I wish it had better visibility, like the icon airflight does, one big problem I have is when I'm at a high speed, I feel like the helmet pushes my head back...a LOT. Lower speeds are fine, but the drag at the top end is pretty ridiculous. Other than that, love the helmet
    3
  308. Good video n thanks for making the coolant flush job much easy to do
    3
  309. I have a 650 and I change my oil every 5K miles and she’s been doing wonderful if you broke down my engine apart it would be spotless
    3
  310. Very interesting. Please do a video on tyre life for low milage cars. My Dunlop tyres have been on my car for over 5 years and still have years of tread life. The only concern is that the side walls could crack before the tread runs down.
    3
  311. The effectiveness and deterioration of engine oil depends on first of all, driving mileage, and then maybe driving condition instead of time interval. The guy at YouTube "Project Farm Channel" reached the same result a couple years back with his scientifically designed projects. Anyone still doing too frequent oil change based on "oil is cheap, engine is expensive" just proves how stubborn people can be even when confronted by solid scientific evidence. What's the point in throwing time and money down the drain while polluting the environment for nothing?
    3
  312. I always leave the floor jack under also when working under 4 jack stands like this. Just for added security.
    3
  313. That looks like a copper gasket, i believe modern cars often use those. Actual crush washers are made of much thinner material and are really crushed when torqued down.
    3
  314. Dude talks way too much and takes WAY too long to get to the point of interest.
    3
  315. Every engine regardless of oil used will see wear metals in the oil, where possible using magnets in the oil filter assembly reduces ferrous metals which leads to a reduction in all other metals including lead from the main bearings, this leads to longer engine life and less wear on piston rings. If your engine takes a 'spin-on' filter ('american style') then you can use a pair of FilterMags on the outside. Magnets on the drain plug are far less effective. I've used FilterMags and other neodynium bar magnets inside the the oil filter, with ferrous metals reduced 60% and all other metals reduced significantly since 2014!
    3
  316. Yeah listen. People like Yammie Noob diss this bike but they just don't get it. Even this dude. Honda. Does not. Make Mistakes. Every single thing is that way for a reason. The CBR500R is for exactly what you said. Dudes who love the looks of a sports bike but don't want to ride a sports bike! It's gearing isn't aggressive. It doesn't have performance suspension as this dude pointed out. It's 40 lbs heavier than the "competition". It's seating is def not aggressive. It doesn't have clip ons I mean sht I don't know how Yammie doesnt figure it out. And the CBR650R? That's for when we want to step up.

  317. great video..how does your car not overheat with that splitter?
    3
  318. As far as I know BRILBMW stands for Brazilian BMW
    3
  319. Non turbo cars I suggest no more than 7500 miles on full synthetic. And on turbo cars no more than 5000 miles. Diesel trucks/cars I also suggest 5000 mile intervals.
    3
  320. SUPERB VIDEO... I also drive a high-mileage Toyota gasoline engine.... Can I recommend using a 5W-40 fully synthetic oil for this car... It will stop the oil consumption. Kind regards Brian
    3
  321. Yeah we should all change our oil every month, after all, it's just oil and money. Heck we should change our tyres every 6 months too, never any adverse effects doing that either. In fact, my coolant's been in the car for two weeks now.... see ya, I'm off to the auto store. Thanks for the well evidenced information Money Pit.
    3
  322. The colors of this bike is more to my taste.The white makes it appear more streamline.I'm looking for this bike as my daily commuter.I'm in my fifties now and don't need to go 100mph for any reason.Ride safe!!!
    3
  323. Fantastic video!! Gave me the courage to do something I would not have ordinarily given a go. All went smoothly! Thank you!
    3
  324. Please do an oil analysis for motorcycles as well. It would be interesting to see if the higher revving engines of motorcycles have any effects on engine oils.
    3
  325. Ur the best man. Hopefully I can keep my yaris passed 300k thanks to you🙏👍😎
    3
  326. Great video, except for the irritating background "music".

  327. Castrol Edge Titanium LL is perfectly fine for BMWs and is used by many independent German car garages. Just make sure it says LL.

  328. ​ @perpetualgrin5804  I have a friend who had a Nissan Maxima 5 speed back in the day ... I loved that car... the next time I saw him a couple of years later I asked about his Maxima. He said, "Oh, the engine blew up." He never reved that engine above 2000 rpms. I've heard it said that lugging an engine at constant low rpms is as hard on an engine as red lining it daily!
    3
  329. I can't believe a video like this from someone took this long. Thank you and your real bmw
    3
  330. This video is immaculate. Nice one.
    3
  331. I'd rather change it too soon than too late.
    3
  332. I've never changed the oil in my duramax less than 10k miles. Sometimes going past 20k... runs great at 735,000 miles so far... this means the engine, and turbo are OEM, only thing changed are waterpumps about 200k each. Did the injectors at 610k, but that is it mechanically. Actually the Allison even went 210k on a single oil change too 😮
    3
  333. Thanks! Great clear and to the point!
    3
  334. Never change it! For Bro Science!
    3
  335. Thx mate, managed to fix my Yaris in less than an hour after the accessory belt snapped on me at 1am last night. Super simple job, a bit tedious and not much space to work with but we eventually got it on and it’s driving so much better

  342. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits  Quick update buddy. I managed to get the bolt out of the thermostat. It was leaking where the lower 10mm bolt goes. Everything working now 😊 Let me take this opportunity to thank you 🙏 Your YouTube guides are some of the best on the channel. Easy to follow and very clear. Thanks again and keep up the good work💪👊👍

  344. Easier to change the bmw every 3000 miles
    3
  345. Gotta remove and lube the slide pins
    3
  346. Good explanatory video, and offering the link to replace the plastic bumper cover pins is really great. Just curious, and I've never done it myself, but wouldn't this be a perfect time to clean up those lenses? Remove all of the oxidation would really make the headlight beams more effective and your customer would love the way it loks and improved lighting. Well done video though.
    3
  347. I've been searching for a video like this. Thank you. Maybe someone else can do the same test for a diesel E46.
    3
  348. This is the perfect opportunity to say I've really appreciated all of your CBR 500R videos. You have a great level of detail, speak clearly, and just so happen to have the exact bike I do which makes it extra easy haha. Keep it up man, this is really valuable even if it's not to a massive amount of people.

  349. I maintained a fleet of 70 Honda Odyssey vans and through proof of oil samples extended our oil changes out to 17,000 miles (seventeen thousand mile oil changes) with Shaefer Oil. Aside from a few major wrecks no van we ever had while I was there ever had an engine failure or engine problem. One had a lifter issue non related to oil. Another had a transmission go. All vans were purchased brand new at the same time and all were driven 400-750 miles per day, daily for several years. When I left the lowest mileage van was around 400k miles. The highest was around 550k. 3k is nothing but a myth.
    3
  350. I searched and search for that one important comment: "Make sure any writing or logos go to the outside". No one else mentions that. Thanks
    3
  351. As an individual that analyzes oil samples for military aircraft, this was actually pretty interesting. I wonder if I could contact a car manufacturer for their oil trend levels to test the oil of the vehicles that I drive.
    3
  352. Very good and clear instructions.
    3
  353. My Toyota crush washers are C$3 or US$2 + each! Ain't cheap at all.
    3
  354. "Just keep throwin' money at it..." is very accurate! Thank you for the info.
    3
  355. Do it every 3000 Miles and you won't have to waste time making these silly videos
    3
  356. Can you just drill holes in the original fog light cover ?
    3
  357. Check the sunroof drains?
    3
  358. How awesome! I could watch your d.i.y videos all day the way you do it is so smooth I have an E90 but hopefully this video will get me close to the solution. GREAT WORK!👏😁✅️💋
    3
  359. its technically correct lol, mileage in spain is "kilometraje" and "kilométrage" in french, and english has some influence from both, so that is how you ought to say it lol
    3
  360.  @EndlessMoneyPits  HTHS isn't that likely to have caused an issue. You don't see oil temps associated with long 250 kmh Autobahn runs. LL01 rated oils usually hold better to extended drain. That A3/B4 is going start out a good bit higher viscosity (12+ cSt @ 100C) so don't be surprised if it comes back higher than your used to.
    3
  361.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yeah, everyone should do whatever makes them feel good. I personally go with "Your car will last longer if you change your oil sooner" and I especially like the videos where you can see inside the engine. https://youtu.be/ttGQW217wTM
    3
  362. Your video quality is amazing. I am getting this model CBR in a few days and it’s right around 8,000 miles so I will be using this video!
    3
  363. Thanks for taking the time to make this, and still be answering questions a year later! My Question is, what is that white thing you are plugging into your computer at 7:10? Will I need to buy one for myself along with the K cable?
    3
  364. I change my oil every 3-4 years on my Bmw and must say I’ve never ever had any problems doing this!! This every year or even 6 months…. Load of crap!! Just oil companies and mechanics in league!! Crooks the lot of them!!
    3
  365. Such a well-made video man, thank you for sharing!
    3
  366. I love the Scotty clip! 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing!

  367. Best little video I've seen it looks very simple thank you so much
    3
  368. Nice video. Been there too, since then I give it to a friend at a bike shop who mounts them for a tenner. Advise for the future, you can remove the rear sprocket with hub by just pulling on it. Also unbolting the wheel speed sensors, think it's an 8mm, makes sure to not mangle them up.
    3
  369. I'm still driving my 1981 classic Minivan (UK), owned from new, 187,000 miles. Problem for the old Minis is that the gearbox & engine oil is one. So I've always changed oil at 3,000 & filter at 6,000 miles. Still got full oil pressure at tickover. Recent rebuild - piston rings still within tolerances, bearings just polished, no scoring etc.. Proof of the pudding & all that.
    3
  370. I've only been driving 20 years and when I was a teen, everybody always told me it was 3,000 miles. Then they started recommending 5,000. Then 10,000. Now 15,000? Idk, I'll just stick to 5,000 mile oil changes. Engines aren't cheap, oil is though
    3
  371. Thanks man, i recently bought a 2015 CBR500R and your videos are the best! I’ve watched them ALL despite only having done Chain Maintenance so far.
    3
  372. My first belt change. Watching this video now to change my belt. Already loosen the bolt but waiting for Engine to cool down. Thanks for the video. You saved me a few bucks to take this to the Mechanic plus i get to learn something new today ! Never stop learning.
    3
  373. When I go past 5500 on full synthetic I get anxious
    3
  374. Great video! I need to replace the sunroof shade, when I bought the car it was missing (a previous owner had an issue with the sunroof drains backing up, which fried the security module and ruined the A pillar headliner and the sunroof shade; the other things have been fixed but I haven't bothered yet for the shade, need to do that. I'll definitely service the sunroof tracks and motor while I'm at it.)
    3
  375. you do know that the seat strap can be removed by just undoing 2 bolts under the seat?

  380. Guess u forgot to watch the video for the acerbis x factor handguard installation lol
    3
  381. It's better to be safe than sorry. I change my oil every 3 to 4k. I have twin turbos on my daily driver, and therefore, keeping your oil fresh is very important to longevity.
    3
  382. This is the best video out there for plugs and wires on a c5, saved me so much time knowing exactly which sockets and extensions I needed for each plug ahead of time. Thank you !

  383. i am from india i have alto k10 2017 model and drive less than 4000km in a year please suggest me after every 2 year oil change ok or not for my vahicle
    3
  384. I change all my cars every 3k miles regardless of what the manufacturer says
    3
  385. It's better for the johnson rods if you do it more frequently.

  386. I heard ya regarding black oil in a diesel. I owned a VW Jetta TDI for 10 years and did my own oil changes with Mobil Delvac 1. Black almost immediately!
    3
  387. I bought the West Coast Corvettes fog light panel screens (resembling what you have here) and installed them both from above, without removing the bumper cover. Dexterity, patience, and the right tools is all it took. Once installed, I put on a factory Z06 airbox cover.
    3
  388. Wow, that’s crazy to see it happen right in front of you. Good of you and your friend to rush to their aid. Hope those people recover.
    3
  389. I have a 10 years old gmc truck and i changed the engine oil once a year in the fall and never had engine problems. I do about 5,000 Klm a year. I uses full synthetic dexos oil 5w30.
    3
  390. Thanks for the video!
    3
  391. Sub’d great video 👍 thanks
    3
  392. Good video but you could have avoided buying a second alternator by simply putting a bolt through the bottom of the alternator before installing with a nut on the other end and it would pull the ears together enough to get it in place, hope this saves someone from buying a second alternator
    3
  393. I don't see this as getting any air to the radiator. This is just packing air under the front valance.
    3
  394. Great video! Really detailed instructions and thanks for the torque specs!
    3
  395. jesus . .. you bought a new car, not a new halterneitar. all i needed, was the corner of the street the 14 and 10 wrench, 2 packs of cigarets , and a used /recicled alternator that works just fine :)
    3
  396.  @Jasonv65  I love changing oil
    3
  397. I have an 04 325xi and I have always changed my oil between 3000 miles on conventional oil and 5000 on synthetic oil. I do run a little over the 5000 mile on synthetic if I don't have the money to change at that time but never go over 3000 on conventional oil. Having a clean engine is so important to the life of your motor.
    3
  398. Excellent video, brother!
    3
  399. Thanks for the detailed explanation of the whole remove and reinstall procedure! Small improvement on the 2022 model (CB500F): the shifter linkage already has a small white dot for the orientation.
    3
  400. Yeah that’s not how you do it first how about purging the air . Second only use distilled water and back flushing the heater core is very important these cars can be difficult purging the air from the cooling system
    3
  401. Well, good video, my uncle is an engineer for the military, aviation pro, he told me changing oil less than 10k miles is an industry trick,(the power of suggestion) so I took him up on his challenge, I didn't change the oil in my 2003 Toyota 4 runner, for 40k miles... The vehicle never had motor issues,lasted to 287k miles, and I stopped driving it because the frame rotted away!!! Good luck, do you own experiments..
    3
  402. It does, makes perfect sense
    3
  403. you’re videos are absolutely flawless. the owner of that vette should be eternally grateful for all your work you do to his car.
    3
  404.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I believe it’s the difference between the m52tu and the m54. I have a 2000 328 as well and have zero oil loss between changes. I usually go about 10k between changes running mobile 1 0w40. I only have 180k miles on her so far.
    3
  405. This comment needs to be pinned
    3
  406.  @MrCt333  Try the liquimoly engine flush, many have said it helped stop oil burning by cleaning carbon off of piston rings.

  407. It is so informative. I have to put those on my bike pretty soon.

  410. According to the man who designed and built the nissan gtr engine its best to use a cheap oil and change every 3,000 miles and change the oil filter every 2nd oil change.

  414. Excellent video, it solved the idle problem on my 2005 Estima, thank you!
    3
  415. Thank you for your step by step installation of BMW diagnostic tools. This was very easy for me to follow and it worked perfectly. Now I just need to install ISTA+
    3
  416. A blind test (don’t reveal to the lab when you had your oil changes) would be more convincing to me.
    3
  417. That's not how you do it for an E46 that's how you do it for an E90 electric water pump
    3
  418. Used to have an S2000, absolutely beat on it as a weekend and track car. Took over a year to do 5,000 miles which was my interval. Oil analysis always came back clean. Penzoil full synthetic.
    3
  419. This oil is on the thinner side of 5W30 oils, with cinematic viscosity 10mm^2/s at 100Celcius, right in spec for Toyota, but for your tired engine maybe you should try a thicker 5W30 with cinematic viscosity at arround 12mm^2/s, high flash point and low Noack evaporation loss, in order to top up less frequent.
    3

  424. Good to see a review on an auto C5. I noticed mine getting up to 226 degrees in stop-and-go traffic. At that point the fans turn on and it drops back down to 219 and below. I was thinking it was the thermostat and/or water pump (low miles but previous owner rarely drove it). I assumed with it sitting maybe a few components may need replacing. It looks like these engine run hot naturally.. but if I hit 228 or higher I think it would be concerned though.

  425. This is a really good walk through, with only one exception. Dielectric grease is actually an electrical insulator so you really do not want to put this directly on electrical mating surfaces. This is a very common misunderstanding among DIYers. Thanks for showing how to install this essential Jeep upgrade.

  426. you have 300,000 miles on yours, and i have 422,000 plus on mine, i change the oil every 5000 miles with the filter, i use 10w-40 high mileage oil and baldwin filter instead of the bmw cheap filter, which or made by Bosch with bmw label on them. when they say 15000 miles its good till 7500 but i change every time at 5000 period.

  427. Very cool. Let's see a compression test to corroborate lab results. Also, how about those fogged up headlights? I've used Mother's mag wheel polish to clear up a set on my Ford Escape. There are other methods as well. Thanks for sharing!

  428. It was great to see you taking good care of that car and even sending in your oil for analysis. From an old timer like me, that's been a bit obsessed with vehicle maintenance, I like to change my oil using the following formula to calculate a healthy oil change interval when driving like an old man (no red lines for me). [Oil capacity (L) / Engine Displacement (L)] x 4000 (Miles). in your case that would indicate a safe interval of 9,300 miles, however the coefficient changes based on driving style. 4000 = old man, 3000 = heavy foot, 2000 = lots of towing/hauling/dirt roads/dust. Just my 2 cents. (I also think all dealer recommended maintenance intervals are so they can tout low maintenance marketing and get you passed your warranty period, just not too far passed)
    3
  429. Change p.c.v. often to help stop oil burning. With that much burn, clean throttle body flap often. My 2 cents

  432. I think the common convention of 2000/6mo that I grew up with has remained as people tend to teach what they were taught etc. But the oils are so much better now and the tolerances too. Engine frequently last for 200k or more if maintained. Back in the old days the oils weren't that great and rings let a lot of fuel past. I always smell my oil for it out of habit. My VW service interval is 10k miles per the manual but my mechanic says stick with every 5k from now on even though the engine looks great. It's a low mileage/use car too so this video is encouraging! I want this car to last another ten years at least. As long as gas can be had
    3
  433. Definitely some impressive information here. Personally, when I read them say “the oil filter could see some more use” I took it as though you could possibly elongate the oil change interval, not reuse it as it wouldn’t last for another entire cycle. I would have liked to have seen the results from the last analysis done with a fresh oil filter. As for the low presence of detergents and lubricity additives after the 10k mile change, I would assume a good bit of that is from the wear and heat cycling the oil goes through. It seems as though ~7.5k miles may actually be fine. This being said, I check the condition of the oil on the dipstick and usually do mine in 3-4K mile intervals depending on its color. Though my last oil change (m54 325ci ~253k miles), admittedly from me being lazy, was just over 6k miles and I was not happy with my perception of its condition. The engine ran smoother afterwards and I will personally continue to keep the 3-4K mile intervals even with this newfound knowledge you’ve shared with us. That being said, I thoroughly respect and enjoyed the response that the company gave you, and I will be taking a sample from my m50b25tu e34 and sending it to them for analysis. Excellent professionalism and customer service is earning them some more business by “word of mouth” reputation. I hope they give you a free analysis for your next cycle for the additional business and good PR you’ve given them from your own due diligence and good nature of sharing. Thank you and I hope you get many more years of fantastic service out of your world class in-line six BMW! P.S. I don’t redline mine daily, but they both pull to redline without complaint when I do ask it of them. Absolutely impressive machines!

  434. I only drive 900 miles a year. I don't change oil until I hit that 5000 mile mark. My chemical engineer son pointed out those bad things that happen to oil, like turning acidic, require heat. It's not going to happen sitting in the pan. I guess I got my 6yrs worth of tuition worth of insight.
    3
  435. I think it's pretty conclusive: Change oil every ~7,500 miles.10,000 would be fine, if all you did is cruise on the freeway. I agree with everyone, 15,000 miles is too long between changes, no matter what the driving conditions are. Another thing to try, is rather than going by mileage, try referencing oil change intervals to the gallons of fuel consumed. Spirited driving uses more fuel, necessitating more frequent oil changes. Distance freeway driving gets better gas mileage, therefore, you can travel more miles between oil changes. To start, I would recommend burning 50 gallons of fuel per Qt. of oil exchanged in an oil change. (If you get 25 MPG average, this puts you right at 7,500 miles, if your system holds 6 Qt. of oil) You can probably round to the nearest tank full. Oil analysis can be used, to determine the number of fill-ups between oil changes. #RED LINE FOR A GOOD TIME!!

  436. I’m an off reader. Before I got into off road I was a drag racer. Both of those are very similar in respect to oil. Racing, the engine is used hard for short times Off road is extended idle, light use for long periods. Thus milage really doesn’t tell you what your oil is/needs. So what I started doing was something very very simple. I change the oil when it gets dirty or once a year, which ever comes first. I’ve had no engine or oiling issues even while using this “method” on my wife’s ford 5.4l 3V engine in her Navigator. I don’t worry about milage at all. Obviously this doesn’t work for people who drive normally in normal vehicles but it’s what I do and what works for me in all my vehicles. Oil is cheap and engines are expensive so you can’t change oil too often. This I apply to my other fluids as well.

  437. Try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oil

  438. I recently did the driver's side in my 2003 C5 LS1. It took me way more time than it should have. I had a hard time getting the old boots off the spark plugs. They were cooked on. Glad I already had the new wires standing by. I'll do the passenger side in the next few weeks. I tend to over think each step and waste a lot of time. However, I believe in the proverb: Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time but there's always enough time to do it over?
    3
  439. I’ve always stuck by the formula I’ve known, 3k for conventional oil 5k for synthetic. I have 2 vehicles with over 200k and it seems to be working out for me.

  448. I once had the Viair a while back, the one that plugged into the 12V outlet, but somehow I lost it. Then I went with a cheaper air pump with a digital gauge, but the inner thread wore out after using it off and on for two years. Thankfully the warranty got me my money back. Now I have the Viair 88P which costs a little bit, but it's worth it. They're really solid built.

  451. It is a lie that in Europe oil is changed 15k km only, check your car manual, really there it is explained what is considered normal car use and what is considered a stress for the car that requires oil to be changed at 8-10k km like - driving often short trips, driving above 140 km/h very often, extreme humid/dust environment etc. Do not cheap out on oil changes unless your car is old, if it is new or under warranty do not wait for 30k km as some companies are advertising their oil is changed!

  453. This video saved me $400 ! Thanks 😁 my low beams weren't working, and then the switch stopped turning too. I couldn't follow other videos about removing everything, but this was perfect, easy to follow. I fixed the switch, and also used sand paper on the long brown clips and their contacts in the little box with white plastic cover, mounted on the indicator arm.

  454. Try Amsoil Signature Series The oil is good up to 25,000 miles or one year which ever comes first Best oil for consumers on the market They also have a great filter rated for 15,000 miles Lots of videos on YouTube about it with plenty of testing done.
    3
  455. This is more a cooling system refresh than a cooling system overhaul. If you're overhauling the entire cooling system then you should also be replacing all cooling system hoses and cooling system hard pipes (made out of hard plastic) which are all under the intake manifold. That way you ensure there will be no failures throughout the entire cooling system. Good video showing the typical cooling system refresh/maintenance.

  458. Your videos are well put together, ive essentially spent 10 years looking for a project vehicle, somehow or another i ended up with a 2014 honda cbr 500 , its got 39 thousand miles but its running great, im doing preventative maintenance, but it's really nice having someone like you who invested soo much time documenting things like this for future owners , thanks i know im late but thanks , you made taking off the fairings very unintimidating and everything you talk about is in a calm voice as to not excite its very approachable and i really appreciate it from someone who watches these videos as a last resort your calming voice is super reassuring
    3
  459. I don't believe the stupid lube shops that say change the oil every 3k miles. They make MONEY with every oil change. Every 7500 miles is fine!! You can double that with synthetic oil.
    3
  460. thank you for your research, but it is made on wrong way: if you wanted good numbers you should do it on this way: 1 install new oil filter, air filter and replace old oil with new, 2. drive it for 100miles and then replace all 3 things( do not throw it away, store it for use after research is finished) to clean engine from old dirt 3. install all 3 things new and drive it for next 5k and then take sample(do not replace oil, and filters, just take small amount of oil and send it for analysis), and do same for 7.5k and 10k. 4. now you would have consistent analysis numbers , because is not logical that 7.5k oil is cleaner than 5k oil(in you case is because 5k oil collected all dirt from old oil and old oil filter 5. dirt in oil works as positive loop-as amount of dirt rises, it produces more new dirt as milage rises, dirt in oil works as sand paper. I replace oil and filter every 5-7000km and on 200000 chain is still as new, my oil is never black on exchange, it becomes brown
    3
  461. Thats the video I was looking for. Thank you!
    3
  462. Cool! This means your engine is well maintained and does not have much blow up. Condensation also depends on weather in your area, might be helpful to note the humidity in your area. Anyways, great video and experiment!
    3
  463. I don't care what they or you recommend. I have a 2018 Dodge Charger with a Supercharged Pentastar V-6 @602hp and I change it and the filter every 3,000 miles with either Pennzoil or Amsoil full synthetic exclusively. That supercharger cost 12,000 dollars and you better believe I baby it. I even have two catch cans on it. I also change the supercharger oil at the same time. And I use 5w30 instead of 20 for the engine. Oil is cheap, even Amsoil; engines aren't. Superchargers are double the engine. All high performance engines, that I'm aware of, have been changed at 3,000 mile intervals since time began. And they all usually run a little thicker oil as well (20 weight is just too thin). And yes, my oil's pretty clean coming out. It better be. Just remember: If it comes out as ink; it's become solvent and you've damaged your motor. Words to live by.

  464. 2:11 don't be afraid to give a gentle tap on the butt end of the screw driver to ensure it "seats" into that screw enough..especially if you have a japanese bike and regular philips and not the JIS kind. ...We're not talking hit it like you were trying to remove a honda civic's brake rotors in which there are often 3 or 4 philips head screws and it often requires a special hammer-to-screw ( i forgot the correct nickname for it_) kit...Just a gentle tap or two. . .... 3:11 Also pull that lever in 3 times - on the 3rd time you hold it in.then while holding the front brake lever in...-. ...THEN open that bleeder valve about a quarter turn, for about 2 or 3 seconds...close it...release the brake lever...rinse and repeat.

  465. Might be a bit late to the party, but I hope this comment helps some people. Customers of mine have their alternators replaced/upgraded frequently, if the bottom piece connecting with a bolt has a bigger gap than the alternator that was pre-installed in the car, you can use washers to the size of the bolt, and fill in that gap, works wonders and is very secure so long as you tighten properly.
    3
  466. I change mine between 10 to 15,000 miles because I use a good synthetic oil and filter. I bought my F150 ecoboost with 80,000 miles on it and it now has 434,000 on it and it still runs very well, I’ve never had any real engine issues to date. I do a lot of highway miles and I live on a gravel road.
    3
  467. excellent. thank you
    3
  468. 5.000 miles is the way for sure, so if you miss the mark then you have time (mileage) until 7.000 to change the oil

  469. DO a video on the Gear indictor and how you installed it Please also any video on the tail tidy install?

  470. Thanks man! - nice to see a new post from you; I recently replaced the chain and sprockets on my CB500X, and referred back to your video on the subject. ✌🤙

  471. 5,000 miles or less using full synthetic for me. I do a decent amount of idling and around turn stop and go driving so 4,000 to 4,500 miles is ideal. Turbo 4cyl GDI. I used to change it around 6,000 to 7500 miles but it really smelled like fuel and usually had to add a quart around 5000 miles so might as well just get change it is my logic. Heavy fuel dilution is a big factor and legitimate argument to change it sooner.

  472. How did you remove the bar end weight mount on the throttle side? Did you have to open the housing and remove the throttle tube?

  473. very nicely done tutorial!

  474. $40 for synthetic oil and filter, I'll keep doing it myself more often than they suggest. If that's not affordable it's time to not have a car.
    2
  475. I got the vacuum extractor because the oil filter is also on top of the engine. So I didn't have to get under the car. It's possible using one leaves more contamination in the sump. On the other hand I can drain the oil filter housing with it that holds a fair amount of oil. Still hasn't seem to do the car much harm. Still runs fine being 20 years old the body and chassis are what's going to kill it not my extended oil changes.
    2
  476. I agree on the Esco jackstands. They’re well made and feel very secure. The comparo done by Project Farm took circumstances to extreme by forcing a car sideways to see which failed. In practice, those conditions would very rarely, or never, take place.
    2
  477. Nothing wrong with Bosch sparks plugs. Just tighten to 30nm and dont use whatever you were putting on the threads...
    2
  478. Your 10k run clearly had a different oil, and different viscosity spec in the original oil. Calcium will never increase, but does deplete.
    2
  479.  @EndlessMoneyPits  you are half right..chain slack is the distance the chain can move up and down.. measured from a fixed reference point.. Honda use the swingarm as that reference point, possibly because sliders are a wear component, but regardless that’s the point Honda provide the reference to. You could compress the suspension and measure the slack with sprockets and pivot in alignment but that would be a different figure and now we are getting a little more technical so best to use the slit and measure the distance Honda specify…..it’s all in the manual
    2
  480.  @EndlessMoneyPits  some manufacturers measure from the slider but they can wear and don’t always sit flush so measuring from the swingarm is much more accurate and consistent.

  483. Would have been helpful to see a TBN analysis to understand the lifespan a bit better. Also, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it looks like they may have given you the wrong test results for the 10k mile oil. There's no way the oil type used at 5,000 and 7,500 is the same oil sampled at 10,000 miles. The properties and makeup are too different.
    2
  484. When I bought my first new car back in the 70's I remember the oil/filter change was called for every 15,000 miles or 1 year by the maintenance book. I followed this religiously and ended up getting rid of it 11 yrs later and it ran great but was just 'old'.

  485. This is such a good guide! I feel like I'm watching/listening to a Gran Turismo style tutorial but for motorbikes.

  491. Hello sir, point 6 and 7 state that the cap and bleeding screw should be replaced. Are you saying that its best to get a new expansion tank cap and new bleeding screw before adding coolant and bleeding the system?
    2
  492. I drive 2,000 a year. I change my oil and filter every 2 years but I check my oil level every so often. During the 2 years if I see my oil looking dirty I just take my pump and pump out a few quarts doing a partial oil change. That keeps my oil clean. And after 2 years or 4,000 miles I do a full oil and filter change.
    2
  493. I was given a old p/u truck that burned oil & was not worth any major repair work being done. That said, it passed inspections but I added 3-4 quarts a month for almost 3 yrs. When I left town I left the keys in the truck & never heard a word? I hope the next person got some mileage before it broke down for good. I only changed the oil filter 1 time & it wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be it seems like when you're adding oil b/c it's burning off that somehow it stays cleaner than if you didn't have an oil consumption problem? IDKnow that this is true all the time but that's the idea I was left with...... I change all my oil today !!
    2
  494. I'm not a mechanic or expert in any of this but I had a Nissian Sentra hatchback that started leaking oil while I was on a trip from Washington, DC where I lived going to Laredo, Texas. About half way into my trip(800 miles into it) I began throwing oil underneath the hood. A lot of oil & I could not tell where it was coming from & I was losing 1 quart of oil every 150 miles or so. I got off the road & bought 2 cases of 50w racing oil. I made to Mexico & went home along the I-10 corridor b/c I knew people in Houston, New Orleans. I knew a lot of oil was dropping & I thought I might be into new head gaskets or big engine work that I had no money for. I got on the Lake Pontchartrain(25 miles long) and she quit on the bridge 2-3 miles from the end. I had to find the problem now & inside some cars the Fuel pump has an oil byflow thru a diaphragm in the Fuel Pump ! I kid you not and so when that diaphragm tears oil is blown out a vent. Blew my mind & they put the new fuel pump in & they told me the leak was fixed. I've not ever seen anyone have this problem & I never knew some fuel pumps ran oil thru the pump but it's a fact I learned. Has nothing to do w/ your video really but I was losing a lot of oil fast & no one knew where my leak was until the car quit running on the longest bridge in America...... go figure? Thanks for the video man

  495. is the round side of the crush washer towards the engine? ( or the flat one? )
    2
  496. I'm a weekend driver cos I take public transit to work. Therefore I drive less than 5,000 Km per year. I oil change once a year. Looking at this video, I realized it's redundant. I could have got by with just one oil change every two years. This video is very informative. I learned a lot. Thanks.

  497. Really suprised this actually worked lol

  498. Great Video! what I found as must have upgrade on 2013-2018 CBR500R is the light to LED. If you are interested in upgrading yours, I would love to see it on the channel.

  499. Question, generally are standard highway miles (65 - 70 mph) or city driving miles harder on car oil? Where I'm at, nearer the windy ocean, the year round temperature is a chilly 50s and 60s F, but I don't know if high and low outside temps completely change results. I guess you could also apply my question to a place like Phoenix Arizona, with hot dry temps - highway vs city. Edit: ok, did a little searching, and read something kind of weird: driving "on highway is better because the oil gets hotter and burns more condensation". Ok, "nice," but wouldn't also making the oil significantly hotter also cause some damage, too? I mean common knowledge - making things really hot, repeatedly, never ends well, in a lot of cases.
    2
  500. Glad you mentioned you red line car regularly so extra heat will undoubtedly break down oil more rapidly. Rember watching a video showing the difference between fully sythetic and non-synthetic oil. An oil samples of each were poured down two mini slide type apparatuses symultaniousely taking about 30 seconds. The synthetic oil flowed slowly down the slide whereas the non-synthetic poured like water. The synthetic oil had kept its viscosity and had broken down very little keeping that shearing action like a new pack of cards.The other, haing broken down was acting like sand had been added. Have just sold a diesel a 2 litre Toyota Rav 4 with 150,000 miles. It still used no oil between services. Changed the oil every 10,000 miles. Think for a petrol engine will change every 10,000 miles driving sensibly... That's because it's a Toyota..
    2
  501. Anyone who waits until 300 k miles is way to late to worry about oil changes
    2
  502. By chance, I bought the exact same pump to carry in my 2004 Corvette. Since I have non run-flat tires and no spare, seems like good insurance.😅 Luckily, I haven’t needed to use it, but might try it out at home to make sure it works. Ha!
    2
  503.  @EndlessMoneyPits  There’s been numerous threads on the subject, and I just put up another with your video. A lot of vette guys carry these, or similar pumps.
    2
  504. almost look as you used a different oil on the 10k run.
    2
  505. Incredible video sir. Thank you!
    2
  506. I have a Mercedes SLK 350 which takes 8 quarts of oil for a 3.5L V6 engine - which I believe is a little unusual, more than most. I'm curious how this factors in.
    2
  507. @EndlessMoneyPits  right...I've had American V6's take 5 quarts. So less oil to take the same abuse.
    2
  508. Very interesting find, always wondered if we were throwing money out of your pocket or not. Thanks for the effort and video. Would be great to see some diesel examples as well.

  509. The recommended interval on my car is 2 years or 20000 miles, whichever comes first.

  510. I appreciate what you're doing, I might know more about bikes than some guys who own them.... lol, but it's b/c of channels like you have that I've learned. An XT is not my top choice but I'll tell you that I would not be disappointed if I wind up w/ one. In fact, I liked the XT225 more than the 250, I like the 6th gear & size but I've found that many hold out for a high price when selling them. I've seen 2 & both were $3,500 or more. Way too high for that old of a bike but I'm saving money waiting. I'll get what pops up & an XT250 might be it & I think you've got one of the easier to follow methods of repair than many. I call it the way I see it..... thanks man
    2
  511. I could tell you right off the bat that you needed to ground your wire behind the voltage regulator not in front of it. Its in the instructions and the manufacturer tells the same. I replace all my grounds with newer thicker gauge and that helped tremendously. Good work brotha

  513. Thanks bro your comment on using heavier oil for overlanding made sense so I went with that instead.

  514. Would the fork stem work on a Honda Rebel 500 ABS 2023? And would you recommend a fork stem mount over a handlebar mount location and vibration wise?

  515. Stupid not to change oil filter. Completely.
    2
  516. It should be very obvious now that the age of the oil or time in service is not the issue, but contamination. I run a bypass oil filtration system on my semi truck, a 2006 International 9400i with a caterpillar C13, and I believe at my next service interval this oil will have 300,000 miles on it. I do oil samples every 20,000 miles, and once the oil sample comes in, when the oil is cleared for continued service, I lube the chassis and change all filters. in the last 1,100,000 miles, I’ve had to change the oil twice; once when the engine was finally due for overhaul at 1.1 million on the odometer, once due to coolant contamination when the cylinder head from that overhaul failed prematurely under warranty, and there was one unnecessary change when a technician did not follow instructions and dumped the oil out, so I got free oil. Filtration is where it’s at. I run Rotella T6 15W40 full synthetic oil, which technically is not synthetic at all, but normal petroleum-based oil refined to synthetic levels as most “synthetics” R (European spec Castrol, Amsoil, Schaeffers, and Mobil1 being the exceptions). The engine consumes 1 gallon between 20,000 mile filter change intervals, and filling the filters takes about 1.5 gallons. Therefore, roughly 25% of the oil is refreshed every service interval (total capacity 10.5 gallons). Recognizing that, with proper Filtration, the oil can last nearly indefinitely if it does not become contaminated, you’ll soon realize that it’s completely within the realm of possibility to simply change filters and top off the oil if you are doing oil samples to confirm that the oil is still viable. That haven’t been said, a 5 quart jug of Mobile1 at Walmart is $24, add an oil sample is $30. That’s easy math to figure out! So, if you want to ensure longevity of your engine, don’t go over 5000 miles on most engines, as their minuscule oil filter elements don’t have the filtration media area capable of filtering the oil very much past that point, and only use OEM filters.

  519. I’ve been changing my Honda pilot about every 7500 miles since I bought it. 325,000 miles so far.
    2
  520. Why does every video skip the othe sensor
    2
  521. I have had 8 BMWs so far and the oil change interval is recommended by BMW is every 20,000 miles. Never had a problem but why you in the US have this 5,000 mile fixation is baffling. Our HGVs run up to 100,000 miles before an oil change. Sounds like a good money making idea !
    2
  522. My preference is for the better filtering of the factory systems, since I am not running a disposable race car, and that should be considered as one reads my comments below.   the dyno test cited as " proof" probably was just the normal power gains that happen after the lubrication and car warmed up for the second pass, but no explanation as to the dyno test controls were mentioned beyond, "we try" (to be fair).   without an actual air intake problem to be solved, I wouldn't spend the money, but live it up if you think the professional engineers with million dollar budgets, supercomputer time and extensive testing couldn't optimize the air intake, but did manage to design the LS motor it feeds. . to get the money back performance guarantee, requires a before and after dyno run, nothing else is accepted. like any other product with questionable claims, they can always say to the judge, but your honor, we offer a complete money back guarantee, just like every penis growth pill. I would expect with the investment of supercomputer time in the cars development, that would mean the air intake system was tuned for performance, as is commonly done with exhaust systems, because performance is efficiency, and bad fuel economy hurts sales and imposes taxes. . changing the air path obviously changes what the engine expects to receive from the air intake system.
    2
  523. I learned a long time ago that to completely flush the system You need to remove the top radiator hose and run the engine up to operating temperature while you slowly add water at a rate to keep it full enough not to over heat. Do this for at least 5 minutes. This allows the engine to be flushed as well as the radiator and gets all the nasty stuff out. This makes a mess but it works

  524. No such thing as too soon.

  525. I installed a new tank but it’s leaking from the bottom where it mounts and I fitted everything the way it was supposed to what could this be?
    2
  526. I’ve just received my quad lock mount for my ram mount fuel tank ball mount but I had the £4 Ali express one in my handle bars for 6 months and only changed due to wanting the phone centred as I ride the ninja 300 so no stem mount possible but the Ali express I understand is a rip off but there seem NO DIFFERENCE in quality of the plastic and I find it easy to mount my phone to Ali express So anyone who can’t afford or justify the quad lock and don’t mine having it on your handle bars get the Ali express it’s great and it even comes with the anti vibration adaptor included in the £4 price 😅
    2
  527. The manual for my car says 7500 miles, or one year. I only drive 3000 miles a year, so I go with the one year interval, and use regular oil.
    2
  528. Thanks for taking the time. Only things I do differently are suck out old fluid and top off the reservoir first, less crap to cycle through. I submerge tubing into fluid, eliminating the need to open/close bleeders constantly. Or just get a 1 way valve to stop air from sucking back up the tube. I do my cars alone too. Dunk that tube, and pump my leg off till it's clear, then close the bleeder.
    2
  529.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Mileage and Lab-Test is a good point of reference. However, there are environment and driving condition. And certainly, the higher engine temperature between NA and Turbo Car. Therefore, new oil and filter, should be change between 5,000 and 7,500 miles or every 6months.
    2
  530. Amazing video man. 5:35 funny thing is, the equivalent in kilometers for “mileage” is indeed kilometerage or kilometrage. The latter checks out with my native language (brazilian portuguese) “quilometragem”. I think it sounds better than the first.
    2
  531. Castrol edge or professional are very good oil indeed,worth the money, here in the UK people use just cheap oil it's crazy! Many cars sound like a bag of nails at 100,000m & even less! They use cheap oil & change it every year 10,000 or more! No wonder some brits brive bangers. I use the Castrol Magnatec myself at 5,000m a year. But the Castrol edge or professional will have no issue doing 10,000m a year EVERY year, that's one oil on top of my list.
    2
  532. Very clear instructions. Thank you!
    2
  533. Looks to me like it takes two hands to dismount your phone one to hold the phone and one to push the quad lock to dismount it.

  534. Change your oil every day.
    2
  535. You are more than welcome... 5W-40 sure will help with the oil consumption on your Toyota  @EndlessMoneyPits 
    2
  536. What has a bigger effect on oil degradation? Time or milage? I do lots of miles, like 15-20k miles a year with lots of motorway driving. I aim to change oil every 10k miles. Would the oil be in better condition after 10k miles in 6 months compared to if i did 10k miles over a year?
    2
  537. Just a word of advice on car covers, they can actually cause old paint to get water damaged if they stay soaked on the paint for too long. Older paint has tiny cracks in them which can allow water to seep in and cause the paint to become cloudy and stained permanently. If you run your cover in the rain, make sure to remove when the rain stops and dry any wet paint before putting it back on.
    2
  538. Did you account for age of the oil?
    2
  539. 5k is too long. 3k is perfect $15 for oil and $5 filter. 20min and done
    2
  540. Excelent. This is the exact question I needed answering. I have a car and motorcycle. I change the oil on both once every year, as neither do many kilometers. I am lucky to do 5000kms in a year, and the oil was clean as clean last oil change.
    2
  541.  @EndlessMoneyPits  An analysis on how long diferent types of oils such as mineral or synthetic can last can also be interesting. Among my circle, some swear by only using mineral oils up to 600 miles although the type of oil meets every specifications set by the manufacturer, and some even only go to 2000 miles for synthetic which I think are too low (my manual reccommend changing oil every 4000 miles).
    2
  542. Thank you for such a comprehensive and easy to follow instructional video. Given the complexity of fitting the GIVI’s, the need to remove so many parts of the motorcycle (always a worry) and the lack of instructions(?!), I’m glad I chose instead to fit SW Motech crash bars to my 2021 model Honda CB500X. By comparison, they were a doddle to instal and would be just as effective in a crash. Also, my experience is that GIVI gear costs a King’s ransom to purchase. (The first motorcycle featured in your video is a 2019 - 2021 model, not a 2013 - 2017 as indicated on the title of the video?)

  543.  @EndlessMoneyPits  what made me sell my yaris was a bit of tranny noise in the 2nd grear. Decided to sell to someone who drove less , super dependable engine in those. I never swapped out the tranny fluid on that like i should have. After they get so many miles its best to not swap it out at all or risk slipping
    2
  544. And also I can see from the video that the convertible hatch lift shocks are bad. I had to do the shoulder hold for a little while until I got my shocks in. They are located under the trunk lid to the left and right.

  545. Lol 😂 “you only have one head…” well maybe that’s not true, hahahaha

  546. Use wynns stop leak will help valve seals to reseal them, refresh them, use slightly thicker grade oil as engine is worn
    2
  547. I've done every 15k miles (25k km) for the past 3.5 years / 106k (172k km) miles. Since I own the car, over the past 100k, oil consumption has halved (from 1 liter per 3000km to 1 liter per 6000km) Bought at 371.000km, now at 543.000km. Have to say I only (>80%) drive long distances (>100km) but a lot of driving is Autobahn 160-180 km/h. And rev limiter every day :) [e39 M54B25 on LPG, 5w40 Valvoline]

  548. The bike takes 1.2 quarts but the kit only comes with 1 quart?

  549. Where is that rear tire mud guard/hugger from?
    2
  550.  @EndlessMoneyPits  You are more than welcome! Curious - what weird problems are you having? I'm asking because I bought and just received this kit, but have yet to install it. I bought mine because after upgrading to a 180A alternator, I started getting a Check Engine Light; when I scanned the Jeep, it said the Passenger Control Module had logged 16+ volts and the PCM had logged too high a voltage coming g from MAP sensor. I keep clearing the codes and every 100 or so miles, it comes back on. My best guess is the voltage regulator is failing, hence this purchase. So let me know what you are experiencing, if you would. If I have any ideas on your issue, I'd be glad to share, as well. Thanks again!
    2
  551. VERY PROFESSIONAL. So well done. Thank you for doing this.
    2
  552. I am from Europe, and I would never use Castrol again in my cars. Ravenol or Liqui Moly are way better options.
    2
  553. 30 bucks for an analysis.....your ok with that, but for another 10 bucks you could CHANGE THE OIL...and reusing the the same oil filter... just how CHEAP ARE YOU???
    2
  554. As far as I know Castrol edge is not a recommended oil for bmw’s. Depending on the year, BMW recommends “long life” oil - LL-4 or LL-1

  555. Hands are pretty banged up but got it done. Thanks!

  556. well put. the procedure is good. other videos are helpful, but irritating. thanks for making a well produced video.
    2
  557. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits  just remember, coolant temps are not the same as engine temps. It can take longer for the engine oil to warm up and the engine to warm up evenly.
    2
  558. The red dot on the tire and valve of rim must be together
    2
  559. Couple things you really should do differently in the future mate. Firstly when you're using an extension on a socket you must always hold/support the head of the ratchet/power bar to prevent it from applying force on an angle that could snap the heads off bolts or just slip off the bolt entirely. Second thing is standing on the wheel like you were with the sprocket still on the rim I'd say there's a 90% chance you've bent the sprocket that could cause vibration or difficulty aligning and tensioning the chain, always remove your sprocket/hub and check your cush drive rubbers have grease on them while you're in there. Third, most Michelin tyres don't have the dot you mentioned, they have a barcode on the bead that should lineup with the valve. I always make a chalk line on the tyre where this is as once the tyre is on the rim you can't see it. One other thing I personally do is remove the calipers and abs sensors first. This prevents and risk of the calipers hitting the wheel and chipping the paint or when reinstalling the wheel its not uncommon to hit the rotor on the sensors. As these are very expensive it just avoids the risk. When hammering in the axles (normally a very light tap with a rubber hammer is all you need) please be very careful the threaded end isn't catching on anything as this will damage the threads very easily. I'm glad you re greased the axles and spacers, makes the job easier next time and prevents water and salt etc getting to the bearings.
    2
  560.  @cartertwowheels3358  I have heard the barcode thing about Michelins, but after mounting between hundreds and thousands of Michelin tires I can say with confidence that it doesn't matter. I have seen no discernible advantage in balancing whether mounting with the barcode or not. In general Michelins balance fairly well anyway, it's rare I have to balance with more than an ounce, extra rare if it needs 2oz or more, but that's usually due to the WHEEL instead of the tire. Sprockets are a lot more resilient than you describe as well. While I'll agree you should remove the sprocket before the job to avoid any damage, it takes a lot of force to bend the sprockets. They are an appropriate hardness to withstand up to hundreds of ft/lbs of torque pulling on them, they'll hold up to an adult standing on them. Same with the axle, they are a specific hardness to handle the weight and stresses of being an axle, it would be difficult to damage the threads. It can be done, and care should be taken, but it's not like they're made of chinesium or anything.
    2
  561.  @cartertwowheels3358  What you're describing, moving the tire on the wheel to try and achieve best balance, should show that the barcode trick as well as the dot isn't always accurate. The bottom line is if the wheel gets balanced after mounting it's going to work just fine. Take care if you don't put the dot on the stem for customers, sometimes they do a minimum of research and all of a sudden they are more of an expert than the experienced tire tech they just paid to do the job. You think you're doing them a favor by better balancing the wheel and the next you're getting a negative review because you didn't line up the dot correctly... There's doing the job best and doing the job correctly and they aren't always the same thing.

  565. Obvious need to do another 10,000 mile oil analysis, to make sure its consistent.
    2
  566. Also depends on the manufacturer and engine. I'm not risking my car by trying to save a few bucks on oil. Every 5000 mi. or 6 mos. has worked for me and I'm approaching 300,000 miles on a 2002 Toyota Highlander V6.

  567. impressed , video clarity good, you deserve ascar for filming & editing.

  568. I was lucky. The original one on our ‘06 X3 lasted over 200K, running with Prestone for at least half its life.😅Started making some noise with a slight leak. It had the better PPS-GF-40 composite impeller so I replaced it with same (Saleri).

  571. Really helpful video dude! Have a cbr 500r myself so thank you :)
    2
  572. if the car only runs sometimes and goes just a few miles, it will contaminate the oil much more and/or faster than someone that uses the car everyday and for a good distance...
    2
  573. I've always changed my oil around 5k miles no matter the car, but especially on my beamer. I could do a hundred oil changes and it'd still be less than putting a new engine in so I don't really care if it's too often. It's just like using the regular brakes instead of engine braking. I have no problem getting new pads for $50 when the alternative is a new transmission for $5k, which I've seen happen just because someone was to lazy to put their foot on the brake pedal and wore out the transmission instead.

  578. Speaking as a 35 year ASE AUTO TECH with a family auto shop since 1975 i recommend changing Non Synthetic oil every 3 thousand miles &..Synthetic oil should be changed at 5 thousand miles..your engine will last a Long Time...

  581. Bro you're a legend. I used Mikes BMW tools initially from another video, however, when I loaded NCS, expertmode was nowhere to be found (and I needed that for the coding I wanted to do). Followed your instructions and initially I tried to connect my car to NCS expert but kept getting the error 'chassis faulty' error. I ran the BMW coding tools software, and bam.. updated all of my programmes. Succesfully retrofitted cruise control to my 2005 pre-lci E87 with no warning lights and cruise display. Thanks!

  582. In europe the sweet spot is almost 19000 miles.

  583. You measured across the centre (inner edge) which isn't being crushed
    2
  584. Oil filters are inexpensive compared to the price of oil and engines. I would never consider not changing the filter at oil change intervals. I use Castrol full synthetic oil and change at 5000 to 6000 km.
    2
  585. I do mines at 3k or anytime I’m bored🤣

  586. Extremely well done video!!! I love that you added torque specs, sizes and tools right into the video. I wish every how to on YouTube was like this!! I'm definitely subscribing and look forward to more videos!!! 😁
    2
  587. My 2014 Sienna has 100,000 mi and the engine is still so tight there is negligible consumption and the oil is still a light amber on the stick after 6000 mi. Note the "Full Synthetic" oils aren't actually Poly Alpha Olefin synthetics, they are mineral oils made from natural gas, and the govt allows the label "synthetic" to be used. They are more like perfectly pure mineral oils.
    2
  588. All this oil analysis is bull shit just keep it changed if something is wrong with a engine and it's not much you can do anyway it's only going to last as long as it can
    2
  589. Why are BMWs big pile of pos?
    2
  590. You can look after your car without changing oil.

  591. What’s the song name at the end of the video
    2
  592. oil is not very expensive (compared to an engine). why anyone would wait 10k miles (or more) between oil changes is beyond me.
    2
  593. Are the rear endlinks the same as the front? Great thorough vid! Edit: Nevermind, little googling and they are the same, def. saving this for when I need to do mine here soon!

  598.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I’ve watched your video over and over again and you can see that the flat silver spacer goes to the ABS / brake side . The black one with flailed end spacer goes to the sprocket side, by the way your video was very helpful with the torque settings and the step by step removal and installation,also replacing the chain and rivet link👍

    2
  601. Very well documented experiment! I would be curious to see another 10,000 mile sample sent to Blackstone. I drive a 2017 Cummins Ram 3500. I tow heavy half the time and run empty the other half. I have sent two samples to Blackstone Labs - once at 75,000 miles, and once at 90,000 miles. I also paid the extra 10 bucks for the test for remaining oil additives. My report was so good that Blackstone recommended that I extend the interval to 17,000 miles and test again. Because I have to change the oil filter and two fuel filters at 15,000 miles anyway, I will not go over the 15,000 mile mark on the oil either. But the Blackstone reports sure set my mind at ease. It looks like 15,000 miles is not too long of an oil change interval on the Cummins 6.7.
    2
  602. At 300k it's worn out with 15k intervals..and redlining

  603. I changed today: Water pump Expansion tank Thermostat Bled the system but no hot air coming from the heater. Also after a while a little white smoke from engine bay but temp gauge in car read normal. Please advise guys.
    2
  604. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits I took it for a drive and the heating started working. Car drove like a dream and temp gauge looked good. I pulled over at a petrol station and popped the hood and could see coolant leaking from the bottom of engine but couldn't see where it was leaking from 😢 got any ideas?
    2
  605. I did break one water pump stud. Could that cause a leak? But it looks like the leak is coming from the left of that area. I have a photo if I could send it to you?
    2
  606. ​​​ @EndlessMoneyPits  one of the 10mm thermostat bolts also broke off. Can coolant leak from there too if I used only 2 x 10mm and 1 x 13mm bolts?

  607. By far the best how-to tutorials I’ve seen on a C5. Keep up the good work.

  608. Oil is cheap, go full synthetic, change every 6k, done. Free’s up your mind to focus on mods and other fun stuff.

  609. nice i have an 05 Mercury Sable gonna do this TMRW thanks 👍

  610. Yep, always that way cheeper helmets good for three years better expensive helmets are good for five. It is also that getting bounced around over the years can damage the protective part of the helmet, this could actually focus energy at the damaged part cause more damage to your skull than not wearing one at all
    2
  611. There is so much nonsense and rhetoric around oil changes and it just keeps going and going. For me, in 37 years of driving, having owned American, Japanese, German, etc car brands I have never, ever ever had a motor fail due to an oil related issue. I've run several cars way over 200k miles and not an issue. Plenty of maintenance on drive train, shocks, brakes, bushings, ball joints, etc as expected, but never motor failure due to oil. I started using full synthetic in all my cars around 30 years ago and with that I always change at 10k miles because other wise you are just wasting money. Now, track cars, that's a different animal completely.
    2
  612. Somewhat off topic but I just want to say. I've been in industrial construction most of the last 30 years of my life. I put millions and millions of miles on cars mostly Toyota Corollas and Honda Civic's traveling across the US with work. I can tell you one thing everybody wants to talk about oil changes and the engine maintenance. In my experiences with myself and seeing others is that the engine is usually the biggest part that last the longest out of the car itself. You have to maintenance it sure but people usually get rid of cars because the transmission break down after 200,000 or a little more miles, the struts give out, The AC quit, ball bearings in the wheels give out and all sorts of things people don't wanna spend money on to fix so they get rid of the car. If people focused on not getting all the bells and whistles. And maintenance the things like the AC and transmission people would keep their cars longer than they do now. I never got rid of any of my Corollas or civics because of something to do with the engine I brought them all over 300 to 400,000 miles and the engines were fine. It was everything else that broke. L O L.
    2
  613. Interesting video and comments about this subject. I've been doing oil and filter change on my 4.0 Wrangler motor on a 4000-7000 miles / year or time. It's not had any problems with over 250000 miles. Always use synthetic oil. Having oil testing with Blackstone Labs results. Told it's showing less than normal wear signs. The same with my 3.6 in testing I'm running up to 10000 miles but normally 7000-9000 miles on filter and oil. This motor is running harder than the 4.0 is just in regular conditions.

  622. Hmm you don't need to clean a brand new chain they come prelube and from look of it the front sprocket may had some grease which is common to see on new bikes this to keep this forming rust and ware on the drive sprocket shaft the other possibility is that the drive sprocket shaft case seal didn't seat right away some oil leak past it. My personal preference is PJ1 Blue Label for O-Ring chain for Street use and PJ1 Black Label for non O-Ring chain like for dirtbike, atv it a bit messy but I have using it since the late 70's, as for that chain damage look like you got something got caught between the chain and sprocket this could been small rock or really hard piece of wood or some other debris which tried to separate the chain links that is why there is such a big gap in chain roller area.

  623. Hello, you have very useful content. Could you please post the link for the rear fender? thanks.😊
    2
  624. Thanks for sharing, David. How's the PCV valve? I understand a failed valve can contribute to oil consumption. Also, if it's burning the oil I'd expect your cat to be clogged and a code would be set.

  625. Oil is cheap , plain and simple . End of story !

  627. Installed grip puppies a while ago. Bought the Acerbis guards and started to mount. Big problems. This video only applies if you have removed stock grips and bar ends. It is also super helpful if you have the shorter levers installed already (as noted below). Now I need to cut off and buy new Grip Puppies, grips, and levers. Meanwhile the bike sits with the handlebars a mess. Probably for a few weeks while I wait for an order. All that aside, your vids are all spectacular.

  628. WATCH THIS VIDEO A COUPLE DAYS AGO, GOT THE HUSKY. MOST OF ALL I USED THE BOX FOR THE 2ND & 3RD SHELF. GOD SEND IDEA! THANK YOU!
    2
  629. Excellent explanation and very well shot video!
    2
  630. Excellent and informative, and yes, they are endless money pits, and not just Nissans!. Actually, my 2012 Nissan Maxima rarely gives me any trouble and one of the better cars that I have ever owned.

  631. Oil doesn’t get old it’s already millions of years old. It just gets dirty that’s why you change it.
    2
  632. FUCK.. you didn't record the ONE part i needed. Doing an engine swap and for the life of me can't figure out where the sensor plugs into
    2
  633. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits I apologize I could have said that more politely, I've just been extremely frustrated getting my Jeep running again. I eventually found the connection as it goes toward the rear of the car. Now that it's in.... I'm almost completely sure the sensor is bad so now I gotta swap one in. Thank you for the video, you can ignore my frustrated comment, it was unnecessary

  639. Just bought 2021 cbr500r 1 month ago.. 2 weeks i have noticed a leak from left side and it is coolant.. I am wondering why because i bougt it brand new
    2
  640. How did the car run afterwards?
    2
  641. 2018 6.4 ram 0w40 Liquid molly every 2,000. 240thousand. Sounds like new.❤
    2
  642. Just changed my plugs after watching your video, I’m a beginner when it comes to car maintenance so it took about 2.5 hours for me but satisfied by the end, universal joint is the true MVP
    2
  643. I have been working on cars same as you DIY SINCE 06. Haven’t bought a dedicated mechanic box to store my tools yet.
    2
  644. the manufacturer wants you to buy a new car no later than 10 years from your purchase date. They want your car to die early
    2
  645. Amazing video. I think people often forget that Germans make amazing vehicles, it is just that most owners of such vehicles do not take care of them (given their more affluent background). I had a 95 BMW R1100RS and it has 89k miles (very high for a motorcycle) before I sold it, still runs like a well oiled sewing machine. Oil change every 5k or the start of riding season, whichever comes first!
    2
  646. It would be interesting to know how long it took to drive the different mileages, presumably the 10,000 mile interval took about twice as long as the 5,000 miles? So the oil was older as well. Would this be a significant factor?
    2
  647. Thank you! Not driving the car currently so haven't gotten around to it, but I'll let you know once I replace it @EndlessMoneyPits 
    2
  648. I think you should do another 10k oil change. It almost seems like your first 10k oil sample had an issue of sorts. Perhaps the oil you put in came from a bad batch?
    2
  649. I want someone to do an experiment where they buy a brand new vehicle and never change the oil and see how long it will last. I think longer than a lot of people expect it would.
    2
  650. A redline per day keeps the mechanic away
    2
  651. I don’t see how not changing the filter could improve wear on the engine?
    2
  652.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Wow! I have been impressed by the intro shots of the car, it looks like a brend new one. Please, keep us updated with some mechanical component replacement or some preventive maintainence if it is the case. It is a wonder to see how some carefullly calibrated measures can extend the life of the car. That been said don't give up with the constant analysis of even the smallest malfunction sign bacause with such a mileage something can happen anytime. At least every major organ should be inspected regularly.
    2
  653. Foam doesn't contain oil, it's the salt & oils from sweat that eventually break down foam padding. The Styrofoam crash protection takes a whole lot longer to break down unless exposed to chemicals, (detergents) UV light or being dropped. That said if Shoei still offers complete internal padding replacement in a few years I'd consider it for the price one pays for these top shelf lids. Might add a couple more seasons provided the rest is in good shape. Chances are though like every manufacturer they'll change the design & clear out old inventory so instead just throw money at it, always works for me too. BTW I've been looking at the RF 1400 for years, supposed to be one of the quietest, reliable buckets there is. And if one's stupid enough & immune to pain to the point of damaging their own ear cartilage by putting on & taking off a helmet, cauliflower ear is the least of their problems. I think it's an exaggeration
    2
  654.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Appreciate it!
    2
  655. The link to mechcanical fan is broken. Do you have another source?
    2
  656. Can we clean and lube the chain and sprockets before installation?
    2
  657. European standard says 6 k miles ( 10k km) believe in them
    2
  658. The 3k miles or 6 moths oil changes was pushed by the quick change oil companies. A huge scam.
    2
  659. I got a lifted truck , I don’t need a floor jack 😊
    2
  660. Recidual oil on the engine from the 10k change may be the reason the 5k change was “dirtier” than the 7.5k.
    2
  661. I have one that needs rebuilding and wasn't to sure if i just needed the rubbers or also if i need the piston. Was this work what you done on your worst caliper ie the hottest reading one? As a few mentioned grest step by step guild, given me more confidence to tackle the job. Thanks again.
    2
  662. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits  that's good to here regarding No issus with the piston you cleaned up. I ordered just the seal kit today so will be doing that job when it comes. Thanks for the reply 👍
    2
  663. Oil doesn’t get old it’s already millions of years old. It just gets dirty that’s why you change it.
    2
  664. They just updated for 2024 🔥. I have a Duke 390 just for commuting and it’s almost perfect. But thinking of upgrading to the new cbr500 for a little better top end and better stability on the highway
    2
  665. To remove the filters i use a pen magnet.
    2
  666. BTW: if anyone has trouble with leaks at the base after fitting, just make sure the connectors are VERY clean of any old dirty material, and you do have to use quite a bit of force to fully seal and lock in those plugs, I was pushing down with about half my weight repeatedly until it fully sealed. These things are old, be patient.
    2
  667. This experiment would be more interesting if you can keep toping off oil and sample the oil every 5000 miles instead of draining it. Due to the topping off, you may find the oil analysis results become stable (steady state). If so, you would prove the point that you would never to change the oil ever.
    2
  668. Time again for me to get these jobs done for the new season coming in here in the UK. I really appreciate you making these easy to follow and clear videos. Thanks my friend.
    2
  669. Synthetic oils don't break down over time(just get dirty from use), however conventional oils will lose their lubricity and shear resistance just from sitting for an extended period
    2
  670. Tbf bud best vid of this kinda thing so far on yt
    2
  671. I replace about 3k, or 200 hours, or half a year. Not a problem. At this point oil becomes brown, no black. Amsoil is awesome ❤️
    2
  672. I drive 2.5 miles at a time mostly so I am going to stick with 3 to 4000 mile oil changes.
    2
  673.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks may be possible
    2
  674. I'm going to replace mine every 3000 miles or every 3 years
    2
  675.  @EndlessMoneyPits  change the oil or keep topping off?
    2
  676. On a BMW changing oil is like throwing bricks in the grand canyon because all the plastic parts under the hood, will start to self destruct long before engine wear becomes a factor.
    2
  677.  @EndlessMoneyPits  OK, that's nice! I hope you get as many miles as you want to get from your car. My mother owned three Mercedes over the years because to her they meant success - a 1972 250 with straight 6, a 1985 model, I forget which one it was, and a 1998 C-class. The C-class is getting sold soon...it has 111,000 miles on it. The A/C broke and none of the windows will roll up unless you push and pull them so I leave them up. Plus I owned a VW Rabbit for a couple years that did nothing but break down and strand me... my experience with German cars has not been trouble free, so I leave them to others!
    2
  678. Like with many others here I'm noticing, this video fell into my YouTube recommended recently. Great interesting video, surprising to see the drop off between 7.5k and 10k. I can't stand manufacturers telling people 20k or 2 year oil changes, is far too long in hopes the engine will be worn out in 10 years time so they to buy a new one or pay for more maintenance work. I personally like to do mine once a year or 7.5k, whatever comes first, and make sure it's fully synthetic, i personally use mobil 1.
    2
  679. Man, you just about to dismantle half the bike, just to do the plugs...not looking forward to that..
    2
  680. I’ve ordered one exactly like that with no vibration absorber , i have a sport bike so i’m not really driving on unpaved roads I don’t think there will be many vibrations, but i was told that for my bike it won’t work since the inside of thread on my bike isn’t circular..i haven’t received it yet but i feel like expanding it should have grip anyway ?! Also did you notice your screws coming undone ? I was also told that someone had to stop and re tithening all of them !? I’m planning to put some small lock tite on them
    2
  681. Z-Max is mostly mineral spirits which soaks into metal and helps it wear slower; try it, it’s worked well for me
    2
  682. Engine oil acts as "ball bearings" between metal parts in your engine. It keeps the metal surfaces from coming into tight contact with each other and causing excess wear. This quality diminishes with use. Also, carbon emissions and often raw gasoline will "blowby" the piston rings into the crankcase causing oil to lose it's protective qualities much quicker. And it can be very hard to tell when that is happening. The BEST way to guarantee the most miles out of your engine is to change the oil often.
    2
  683. It would be interesting to send identical samples to more than 1 lab and compare results.
    2
  684. Great video and I might have missed it but is this a 325 or 330? I have probably had the worst luck with brakes my 325xi been through multiple calipers now I'm on a 3:30 and I'm experiencing the same exact problems... I just want to rebuild mine myself at this point
    2
  685. i aneal them with gas torch never had a leak
    2
  686. Change the oil every 5,000 miles.
    2
  687. That's great to hear! Very encouraging, I'm going to do the "Big 3" (Big 7 on a WJ, I guess) and am optimistic now that you've seemingly found your problem. Thanks so much for the follow-up! Best of luck with your rig, bro!
    2
  688. All my running is in town so I follow my owners guide. 5K miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first. Short runs are very hard on the oil.
    2
  689. A 4th sample at the 1st sample's interval would be what i want to see.
    2
  690. What a great review thanks!
    2
  691. Longlife oils are rated for 2 years though :P
    2
  692. I did this work on an E87 today. At first, I found it super hard to get the rubber bellows on properly, until I watched this video (at 9.50). I can add that applying the lube in the cylinder only, and not on the piston, made it easier to get the bellows in place. Thanks!
    2
  693. I just stick with every 5k as a personal preference. Easy to remember and usually works out to doing a oil change every spring and fall of the year.
    2
  694. I have the same skid plate. Ended up pulling it back off and spraying several coats of truck bed liner to help dampen the engine sound it was reflecting toward me
    2
  695. Interestingly enough, Blackstone Labs said that the age of the oil doesn't matter much when I sent in my last oil sample from my e36. Oil had less than 700 miles on it after a year of mostly sitting. They told me to try changing at a higher mileage, regardless of how many months or years pass.
    2
  696. Man, I’ve been changing my 10th gen Civic Si oil every 2K to 2.5K miles since the turbo engine has had reports of oil dilution. I get close to redlining it sometimes. So I feel like I need to change the oil religiously.
    2
  697. I wish you had a video on everything e46 this is a masterpiece, doing my cooling system tomorrow!
    2
  698. can use the same oil for my BMW 1999 e46
    2
  699. i have 2018 chevy traverse LT 3.6V6 here in Canada already done 160k km, chevy says in manual to change oil every 12k km/7500miles, dealership recommend changing oil at 8000km/5000 miles. i have been doing oil changes at 10000km/6200miles. i bought it new and will keep it as long as it will last, now dealership suggesting as mileage going up, do oil changes earlier to make engine last longer. what should it do? start changing oil at 8000km/5000miles?
    2
  700. Can I just drop my bike off with you for service 😂 seriously thanks for your videos have a 2021 CBR500R and I am learning everything thing I need to work on my bike.
    2
  701. Check the chain slider every time you replace the chain set as well. The rubber dry rots surprisingly fast
    2
  702. After nearly 40 years in the auto repair business and personally having done thousands of oil changes I recommend two things, first use good quality oils and filter, second perform the service every 5,000 miles or once a year. Peace of mind trumps trying to save pennies when it comes to maintenance. Customers have paid my shops thousands to replace engines that were not properly maintained which caused a premature failure. If you change your own oil that’s awesome, stay safe be sure to use the proper equipment.
    2
  703. First 🎉
    2
  704. From my personal experience. I bought a brand new 2024 car with barely 250 miles on it. I did the first oil change myself at around 1700 miles. This is what I found. 1) the oil came out very dirty (black) 2) the manufacturer or dealership used the wrong oil filter (wasn't to owner’s manual specs, and was smaller. 3) the oil light indicator before the oil change was at 83%. Owner’s manual says every 10,000 miles. Take that for what you will. At the end of the day oil is cheap, engines are not. It’s your car. You do you.
    2
  705. I have the same truck, even the same color. It can be a tight space under there when I do not jack it up when lubing all 98 grease fittings on this truck. It feels like 98 of them anyway.
    2
  706. Very good indeed. Thank you for posting.
    2
  707. Nice job and nice channel 👍
    2
  708. Great info. I like that it is based on actual measurements and not on feelings or general statements.
    2
  709. I started changing my oil & filter every 5,000 miles. Easier to remember. Oils are better than they used to be. Driving condition make a difference. The chey vortect 4.3 went 320,000. Before a cracked head.
    2
  710. It takes me 1/2 hour and ~$25 to change my (synthetic) oil in my car. I do it every 5k miles. I couldn't care less if I "waste" $15 or so per year by not waiting until 7.5k miles. With 216k miles on my 2004 Rav4, my mechanic says it runs fantastic. That's all I needed to hear.
    2
  711. I would blow out the radiator first.
    2
  712. As an auto mechanic, I've always changed my oil between 5k to 7k miles. I've also topped off my crankcase with trans fluid prior to doing my oil change. With over 200k on my truck, oil pressure is spot on and doesn't burn oil. If I were towing and loading my engine, I'd do it more frequently. I've used nothing but full synthetic since the early 1990's. In all my years of driving and racing, I've never experienced engine failure.
    2
  713. Eliminate third parties and stress,follow manufacturer service book.....after all they built the car!
    2
  714. Good diy! I’ve never done the coolant on my 13. She only has about 6k kms but the damage from old coolant makes sense!
    2
  715. Dude you have the best channel on YouTube. Thanks for the quality!
    2
  716. Where do i find a 16 tooth sprocket????? You offer no links for that!
    2
  717. Every 7k miles. M54B30 in 330Ci'04 have already 220k miles. No problems. Wrangler V6 Pentastar got 160k miles. Fiat 500 1.2 Fire have 100k miles and runs perfectly. Oil is cheap and change is easy. Keep engine happy and your wallet will be too.
    2
  718. Forgot an important step.The screen on the left side needs to be pulled and cleaned.

  719. Thanks man ❤
    2
  720. In power generation facilities, the oil used to lubricate the turbine generators can go unchanged for periods exceeding 30 years, without issue. Granted, it's not exposed to internal combustion but the point is, oil is more durable than the general public is lead to believe. 🇺🇸
    2
  721. its a hundred bucks more cuz you got the fancy graphics though
    2
  722. please re test the 10.000 oil to confirm your findings . Thanks for the video and the info!
    2
  723. Magically the mirrors change, the levers change, the grips change and bar weights disappear.
    2
  724. Oil is cheap and engines are expensive. Why having a long oil drain and risk damaging the engine? I used to think like that until I learned from a Danish taxi driver that they changed their oil every 30,000 km (~19,000 mi). If I do a conservative oil change every 5000 mi, I would have used about 4 times as much oil as the Dane. Am I wasting money unnecessarily? What about the environmental impact of these used oils? Shouldn't we consider that beyond cost and engine protection?
    2
  725. Only comment would be that cars and motorbikes are still fixated on 'miles' which is fine for the average owner, however engine running hours are the true factors in wear once temperature reached. It may take an owner twice as long in hours than another owner to do say 5000 miles as it depends on circumstances, but mileage better than nothing.
    2
  726. Oil is the cheapest spare part your engine will ever need. Change it often if you plan on keeping your car for many years.
    2
  727. Tired installing BMW Standard tools on Windows 10 Version 22H2 and it errors out at setup because only Windows NT 4.0 Windows XP Pro are supported. Also would the Bimmergeeks cable be the best one for this software if I get it installed
    2
  728. I have had problems with multi plugs, do you squeeze the tabs on the ends or top/ bottom please
    2
  729. Run Liqui-Moly synthetic oil and changed your oil and filter at 6,000 on the dot if some of the miles are from driving on the highway... if the miles are all city miles then change at 5,000 miles. If you want to run a cheaper oil well then change it and the filter at 5,000. Changing the filter at 12,000 risked the filter going into bypass rendering it useless. Also highway miles and city miles are not the same so If you have long road trips on the interval you can go longer than 5,000 miles. Either way... always change at 6,000 whether it needs it or not. People are ruining their engins drinking the extended oil change overhype kool-aid being foisted on the glib unsuspecting public. Extended oil change intervals is a marketing ploy that has only gotten worse since the advent of synthetic oil. The synthetic oil can better take the abuse but the dirt in the oil, the carbon in the oil can not be filtered out with synthetic oil. Your own testing indicates more metal wear at the intervals above 5 and 6 thousand.

  732. Just had a shop apply new headliner, and now my sunroof is all out of wack. Have high hopes this will bring things back to normal. Thank you!!!
    2
  733. Interesting video, thanks for that. I've never left oil in my own vehicles for long, by the time they reach 3000 miles i'm getting itchy feet, almost never do they go past 5000 miles between changes. Just out of interest, i've been driving heavy trucks in England for well over 40 years, the present truck is an MAN is leased so main dealer serviced under maintenance contract. Engine oil gets changed every 100,000kms which is now pretty standard in the industry at least in England...no if i owned it that wouldn't be the case either.
    2
  734. Just waiting for the slack adjustment vid
    2
  735. Whatever the mileage, usage, change the filter every time. For the extra cost is marginal but the benefit is major.

  737. Awesome video, it's really interesting to see a conclusion drawn by literal laboratory samples. Keep up the nice content!

  738. Dude! Awesome vid, my gave out this last winter, tired of hitting/ holding hatch open with my head. Running out to the garage now!

  742. Would this be the same on the ia model?
    2
  743. 3'rd time this tank bursts on me, all cases were during summer with the AC at the max. so clearly these are related. what i don't understand is why that cap does not release the pressure as it's supposed to do before the whole tank blows up (new cap every time)
    2
  744. You don’t adjust the chain when it’s up on stands because your not getting an accurate measurement as there’s no weight bearing on the rear suspension, always adjust the chain when on the side stand or on a front wheel chock so the bike is in an upright position, where possible get someone to sit on the bike then do your measuring for slack and if needed do any adjustments while on center stand, repeat procedure until correct movement of chain is achieved.
    2
  745. The manual on my 2013 states the adjustment should be done on the side stand
    2
  746. This is so much easier than a 4th gen camaro. God damn it.
    2
  747. Your car has a built in oil program which will tell you on your dash light system when your due for an oil change. This is prepared and done by the designers and testers of that particular engine. As some have mentioned this is for regular service in normal climates. Desert and sub-arctic you should probably do a change twice a year instead of once. Full synthetic is also highly recommended.
    2
  748. The oil change industry is just a money grab with no concern over the environmental impact. The usual hypocrisy pretending they are concerned over the environmental and recycling impact when in fact they promote unnecessary oil changes.
    2
  749. Great review! Hoping to get in the future the 2022 version since the previews ones only have a single front brake disc And as a beginner I’d feel more comfortable 😊 I think it’s a great bike
    2
  750. I have done most of my E46 work using your videos. I am not a technician by job but just the hobby-bob. If having to be precize I would say you saved me at least 2000 euros already man!
    2
  751. Very nice. I have quite a few of the items you show so far in both videos. Good choices.
    2
  752. Do I need to put new o-rings in? Are the o rings built in the hoses?
    2
  753. I washed your video with great anticipation. It was certainly eye opening. However I change my oil every 3 months/3k miles and I use full synthetic oils. I grew up in the automobile business when I needed 6 quarts of oil when the oil was changed. I used 5quarts in the engine and 1 quart in the air filter, yes the air filter. When I grew up; I drove cars that had oil bath air filters. As a retired widow I drive mostly locally, maybe 2 miles to and from a location. That is most severe use as the oil never gets hot enough to boil out the moisture. My two vehicles are serviced at their respective dealers. Maybe I change the oil too frequently, but in 53 yrs of vehicle ownership I have never had an oil related issue.
    2
  754. Send in another 10k sample
    2
  755. Good thing i dont need the magnetic drain plug. I change the oil in my bike every 2,500 miles. Why give the oil a reason to break down at 8,000 miles right?
    2
  756. I just recently got this helmet. Really liking it so far and feel it's a 5-star helmet as well.

  759. The rubber seal kit and the hardware should be inspected every brake service with a view to changing both along with the pads.

  760. Beautiful 👏

  761.  @EndlessMoneyPits  actually synthetic walmart oil is major brand oil. it changes every so often. "supertech" walmart synthetic oil tests very very well thru blackstone labs. so if u think bad of "walmart" oil, you are very incorrect. don't believe me, send in some lab orders.

  762. ​@Wills Restorations hey there, will running the heat also flush the heater core? Seems as though it would seeing as though it is tied right into the cooling system, so long as it is in operation.

  763. Great Video. Currently trying to do this lol 👍

  764. I live in the Deep South, when the temperature is 95 degrees and so is the humidity and I’m sitting in stop and go traffic, I want clean oil in my vehicle…I change the oil every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first, which usually is the six month change interval. I use Amsoil OW-20 full synthetic oil and a WIX XP filter with synthetic media…$200 a year for oil changes on a $48,000 dollar truck is money well spent…

  765. Hi I have a Beemer 328d and I use 0 w30 or 5w30 liquid moly and a Mann oil filter.Cannot go wrong I use the oil with the Bmw spec
    2
  766. This is actually really interesting. I'm only averaging maybe 2,000km in one of my cars. It's subjected to adjust trips most of the time. What sort of diving were you doing? I run petrol and LPG (Dual Fuel). I changed the oil after a year and added in some liquid moly
    2
  767. This confirms my suspicion that the oil filters can be changed every other oil change. I've seen other tests where the filters could be used longer.
    2
  768. For sure. I change oil at 5k so my filters would be changed at 10k.
    2
  769. The test at 5k is worst because it was done after the high milage so i think it is not fair.
    2
  770.  @EndlessMoneyPits  it would be best to do before all of them 1k oil change to clen up as much as possible and maybe aome kind of additive as oil flush. But that would be expensive to make :) Either way thanks for answering 👍
    2
  771. I know someone who used longlife oil in their car and drove it for 30k kilometers (~18k miles) between oil changes. Bought the car with 60k kilometers (~37k miles) and sold it with over 300k (185k miles) kilometers. The car was always driven, but never hard.
    2
  772. I have an 04' 330xi - oil changes every 12k miles. Not sure why everyone is changing their oil at so early intervals.
    2
  773. The primary difference in your 7,500 mile oil change was you were using a 'used' filter whereas the other 2 changes were with new filters. The 'used' filter probably acted as a finer particle filter, letting fewer large particles through. It would be more accurate of a test to use new filters in all 3 tests IMHO.

  775. On my Jeep Zj 4.0 my ground wire goes from the external voltage regulator to the body? I got it like that and dash shows 19+v should i move the ground wire to the alternator?

  776. Have to say thank you for making this video! I added a stalk with the fog light option on my car and this was by far the best tutorial for doing so! Keep up the great work!
    2
  777. yeah i want to remove my bumper to do this?
    2
  778. Nice video. But if you don't want to pay for analysis, what can you tell from the oil colour? In fact what causes the change? I had a Honda VFR750, and the oil never changed colour. On my Ford 1.0 ecoboost, it goes dark after a few thousand miles. On my 1.5 diesel, it goes black in a week!
    2
  779. I would like to buy one, but my problem is that my motorcycle doesnt have that "hole" in the stem
    2
  780. if you have a rear hatch leak, loosen the bolts and slide it towards the jeep, i got 3 zjs, they all leaked til i did that. Over time the hatch moves slightly back over the years and the rear seal leaks at the top. if you just loosen them a little and tap em with a hammer lightly, youll see it move forward a little. This also helps with the annoying rear hatch rattle these have. It makes it a tighter seal. Hope it helps. I also have 5 of these gold and silver wheels on one of my zjs, i love em. I got a green set also. I like OEM rims.
    2
  781. That oil you bought off the shelf new has been siting around for over 2 years before you got it, to begin with.
    2
  782. You've to change the carter ventilation filter every 50k miles, than oil consumption will be reduced.

  783.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Ask the BMW dealer.

  784. If I could take a hot take on this. Spirited driving might break down the oil due to high heat and stress. But I think there are ways to do it, to not break down the oil too much and still get the benefit of getting the components hot and lifting off all the carbon build up over time. I drive a CLK 320 (M112) with 64.000 miles on the clock and thanks to me living in Germany. I get to use our Autobahn and floor the car. When I drive a 40-50mile distance. I will floor about 10miles of basically legal street racing. The coolant temperature barely gets over 85 C* at about 155+mph (250+Km/h) top speed. But it‘s the engine finally getting really hot inside where it matters the most. Older engines like mine which are NA can take that very well. Without having to stress about a turbo or supercharger. I‘ve talked to a lot of mechanics about this. Your car is designed to take some heat. It‘s the way you do it that matters. Flooring it to the next red light will kill your engine and transmission. So if you have the chance to without endangering anybody. Just floor it on an empty road where you know you won‘t have to stop constantly and heat won‘t build up while standing still, especially if your car has asthma.
    2
  785. How come no comments? It's a good video. I just bought my BMW and the oil goes way past above those marks... I need to check that. Maybe the dealership just filled it up like crazy so I would notice an oil burn? 😬
    2
  786. I use castrol edge or magnatec.Just change the oil at least once a year.

  792. Around 8,000 miles seems to be the sweet spot for me and the oil i use . to get to most out of the oil but not push the oil to far 🤨👍😁

  793. Fortunately, alot of the issues that aren't tied to engine/environmental performance have been fixed. The new dash has a gear indicator and LEDs are standard all around. I haven't actually ridden on a new model cbr500r, so I'm not sure on how the powerband is

  799. I think Mobil actually did a test on the same E46 back in the day and they ran the car using the normal interval recommended by bmw and took the engine apart after 100 or 200k and it showed normal wear and all within allowed tolerance. The article can still be found online somewhere. The oil analysis is a tool and it might indicate things but it might not be a problem.
    2
  800. The Yoshi sound, is that with or without the original catalytic converter?
    2
  801. first of all, oil is not cheap, it is ridiculous to simply waste money because you think something is cheap when kids are starving. i have already proved to me that you do not have to change oil more than about 20k, i have never changed oil more than that, and I have never seen anyone who can legitimately say they have blown an engine from not changing oil. that is ridiculous
    2
  802. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t tell us what kind of improvement it made 🤦🏻‍♂️
    2
  803. 3 to 5 K and that's that. You can go longer but not me. I also service my transmission every year, what about you?
    2
  804. I believe it largely depends on driving conditions. Short distance driver, shorter intervals.....longer miles longer intervals. I just sold my 2005 530I with 400,000 and only changed at 15k. It was a great car. I have dropped to 10k on my 430i....smaller di, turbo engine.
    2
  805. finally figured out how to do this. thank you bro!!! my bikes in dire need of this lol😭she never got hot and finally after 3 years of never changing it she needs new juice. i have a 14 500F
    2
  806. 6 months OR maximum 5000 miles . Period, this is the best way to protect any engine.
    2
  807. You should have sent in all samples with no vehicle or mileage information. A reputable company wouldn't need any of that. A reputable company would also provide a PH measurement. Engine oil becomes acidic over time, leading to leaks due to gasket failure. I'm inclined to believe their numbers were a result of your input, rather than actual testing.

  811. Super detailed installation video except for one critical bit. Wish I had read this before ordering the handguards! I was scratching my head in the middle of the install wondering why nothing fit. Then I noticed that @ 3:36 the stock levers are magically replaced. Sneaky! Can't afford new levers now so the hand guards are being returned. Vid definitely needs a disclaimer that this is only for bikes with Zeta levers.

  814. Nice video, I change my oil in my 2004 BMW 760li every 7500 miles. I bought my BMW in January of 2012 with 120K. Now she has a 145K. I send my samples to the same company & mine results about the same as yours. I learned over the years its cheaper to change the oil than repairing an engine. Vancouver Wa.

  817. you are a legend, Best description of how to install.
    2
  818. Regardless of the condition of the oil or the metals in the oil that indicate wear, there's more to it than that. There's an important factor that an oil test can't tell you. What is that you ask? It's the amount of sludge buildup within the engine. If that cars' oil has been changed at 15K miles or even 10k miles it's whole life, then I can only imagine what you will find under the valve cover/s.
    2
  819. Just like everyone else.....this is THE BEST e46 cooling video on YouTube. Other ones are decent but they don't show the necessary angles that you show, which is surprising because those video are done by the e46 pros but you easily take the cake. Subscribing rn! Much appreciation! Youre saving me hours with this video
    2
  820. So you named your channel after your car?
    2
  821. Exactly! Especially without informing them of every detail. It's all fake and expected analysis.
    2
  822. the only reason i see to do faster oil changes is if something was wrong you would know it quicker. but what would you do about it?
    2
  823. very useful.. thank u
    2
  824. My wife's RAV4 gets a lot of short trips however I'm sticking with 5K mile oil changes since the oil is synthetic and tires are usually rotated at 5K miles. It may take 10 or 11 months to reach 5K miles.
    2
  825. This is one of the challenges in buying a used car. Your lucky to find one with the oil changed even every 10k miles.
    2
  826. Thank you for your excellent video. If people would pick up their owner's manual and read them. They would see that most car manufacturers call for your oil to be changed once a year. Or 12,000 mi. 12,000... correct. Hard to believe that we're getting scammed again, isn't it? We are so easily fooled.

  829. I replaced wires on a 02 vette and its throwing p0300 are the wires supposed to go in order ? Or can i just install however in no order like i did? Also if they do need to be in order how do i do it how do i know which goes where? All the wires look the same..

  837. I have the 2013. Love it even if it doesn't turn heads. Great fuel consumption. Perfect commuter. Zips around traffic congestion. Just wish I had a garage to do my own repairs. What money I save on gas is handed back to the mechanic
    2
  838. You should change oil & filter your at 5k or less given there are many variables and the engine has high mileage on it. If you check your fuel economy you will probably find that it starts to go down at around 5k. What about oil consumption? We have a E90 with N54 Engine with 160k on it. After an oil change & filter no consumption for the first 3k miles. After 3k it starts to consume oil and by 5k, I need to add a quart..... Given the age and mileage and this issue, I change oil and filter at 3k now.... I was doing original O&F at 5k dropped to 4k and now doing 3k.........I am throwing money away..... Yes. But, to me that is less expensive than having to replace an engine or the vehicle and having to deal with a headache. It is hard to find a "Creampuff" out there. The other issue to remember starting with the M52 Engine on, all BMW engines have Variable Valve Timing (VANOS) that have very small oil passages which can vanish or clog up and cause Oil Starvation at anytime, especially if you are going to push oil to the end of its life by extending oil change intervals.
    2
  839. What did you use to clean the grease of the new chain?
    2
  840. I'm old and cynical and have a few problems with how the testing was done and the results: The test should've been a blind test. IE: Not Informing the testing company how many miles were on the oil; This could lead to them fudging the results instead of actually doing the test (The responses seemed kind of boilerplate) Not changing the oil filter Is like putting fried eggs under your armpits: Why would you want to do that? Depending on the size of the oil filter you're leaving Sometimes more sometimes less than one quart of dirty oil in the system which In itself makes the test data useless. I'm 60 years old and have worked at several and managed several repair shops, In that time we never left the oil filter in when doing an oil change. Oil filters are cheap change it! car manufacturers want to sell you another car they're not gonna give you the best recommendations to keep it running. A new oil filter is going to Be less restrictive. In one of the comments below someone mentioned that a sample of the oil straight out of the bottle should have been included to provide a baseline Which I agree with. You need a starting point. All that being said: I appreciate all the time, trouble and expanse you went through to make this video. Your video was well produced, has excellent camera, work sound and editing. Thank you for making this video people need to know what's going on with the automotive industry.

  841. What was she thinking..
    2
  842. For what you are spending on oil analysis, I change my oil and filter with quality products........at 3,000 miles. I've NEVER had an internal engine failure. I would never buy a car unless the seller could prove 3,000 mile oil changes. Judging by all you meatheads below, that's getting more and more difficult. I also change my tranny fluids, differentials and transfer cases too.

  848. Engine, transmission fluid, coolants, are all acidic fluids. Fluides are inexpensive to replace. Repair rate is $140 per hour. Pay routine service or repair. BMW scan tool is $$$. Plastic parts that are brittle after time. Overpriced and hard to get parts. Be cheap on fluids and see what happens by year 4 or 5.
    2
  849. Yeah that’s not how you do it first how about purging the air . Second only use distilled water and back flushing the heater core is very important these cars can be difficult purging the air from the cooling system ole epa be happy to see that poison running uff for peoples pets to drink bud .

  857. You can never change your engine oil too frequently. The main killer of an engine is not the degradation of the oil as in former years, but the accumulation of carbon that floats around in the oil and the tighter clearances used in modern engines. The best oil filters only filter the oil down to 15 microns (0.6 thou) but the bearing clearances on a modern engine are around 30 -45microns (1.2 - 1.5 thou) or less. This means that chunks of carbon 15 microns thick that are held in suspension in the oil only have a buffer of 7.5 microns at best of oil before contact is made at the bearings. You can tell if your engine runs these close clearances by the grade of oil used, the thinner the oil, the closer the clearances. The reason that your oil goes black is the carbon that is floating around in it, hopefully smaller than 15 microns across and any metal in the oil is the result of the big bits of carbon scraping them off the bearings. Additionally, modern synthetic engine oils are designed to hold the carbon in suspension rather than allow it to cake on the internal engine surfaces, as occurs with dinosaur oils, that can cause even more harm. By changing the oil frequently the larger chunks of carbon are flushed out of the system. You can actually feel the difference between clean oil and used black engine oil when you rub it between your fingers, the used oil will feel grittier. How much carbon is generated is dependant on a number of factors like the use of the car, the age of the engine, its previous maintenance regime etc etc. The engine oil should be changed AT LEAST as frequently as prescribed by the manufacturer although every 6,000miles would be a good value to use, any longer and you are damaging the engine. To further minimise wear the oil filter must be pre-filled prior to start up to ensure that the bearings are not initially starved of oil until the filter is filled and it is best to turn the engine over without load i.e. without the spark plugs in, until oil pressure is achieved that can be seen to be several crucial seconds. If you are changing the oil then it is mean not to change the oil filter at the same time, especially given their low cost. They could last a further one or two oil change periods but they contain some of those nasty big chunks of carbon that do all the damage. Oil can be filtered down to 1.5microns using a bypass filtration system like Kleenoil, at that filtration the oil change periods can be easily extended to double or even treble the change frequency as the carbon particle sizes have little effect on the lubrication. Large truck fleet owners are seeing big advantages in reduced maintenance down times as a result. Existing full flow oil filtration cannot reasonably filter below 15microns because oil flow has to be maintained and to accommodate even a modest improvement the filter would have to be exponentially larger.

  858. I change my oil every six months in my Subaru

  859. Interesting that Blackstone first told you that 10k was too long, only to end up recommending you increase to 10k. For me, I change both oil and filter at 5k. Cheap insurance.

  861. I currently live in Wisconsin, but i go on vacation to AZ once a year for about 3 weeks. Im thinking of buying a decent honda bike for around town riding for when i go to AZ. Would it be safe to keep it "winterized" for an entire year, or would that cause substantial damage?
    2
  862. Change the oil in my RX330 every 4-5k miles. I start planning a oil change once 4k mile interval hits and sometimes due to work schedule it can take me am extra 1-2 weeks to get the time for a change, which comes out to about 1k miles beyond the 4k mile mark. I've run it 7500 miles once recently and the oil still looked great for the miles.
    2
  863. A great and informative and clearly narrated tutorial! Will this work on a Windows 11 Laptop?? Thanks

  864.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I noticed as well your channel has too diverse content which does not yield a good viewer count, what you can do is to focus on a particular category (either of cars, tests, or vehicles in general), E46 content is having most views, so either like Project Farm (general testing) or M539 Restorations (focus on BMW) or ChrisFix (in his early years - focus on different varieties of malfunctions, tips, and repairs but only on cars). It's amazing to see all of those channels when they were at their 5 digit subscriber count and now look at them, I remember when ChrisFix was at 70k-80k and now look, Project Farm as well from 20k-30k but now in the millions which is insane to me. Sorry for the long potato post, keep it this nice content and you will see
    2
  865. I seen another one of these that was a UK based oil test on various milages.. The mileage that came back as most appropriate to change was at the 8,000 mile mark. This test pretty much confirms that between 7,500 and 8,000 mile oil changes sounds just about right. 5k is too much and 10k is just a bit too late.
    2
  866. Awesome video! I watched it just before trying to tackle it on my 98 convertible. Took me about an hour and a half...no tools were thrown 😂. Started on driver's then passenger side last. Not a tough job. Very doable for anyone trying to get it done. Thanks for sharing and have a great rest of your weekend 😃👍👍🤙
    2
  867. Oil change at 5.000km, just to be sure. Why not, if you can do it urself.
    2
  868. Just because the oil still holds up to 10.000 miles doesn't have anything to do with the DIRT in it thats what does the DAMAGE i won't let mine go over 4 to 5 k miles its your investment.
    2
  869. That's one heck of a well maintained and good looking car for one that has 300K miles on it. Looks like you take great care of it from a detailing perspective as well. I buy oil for my 328 from Amazon and I go for their in-house store brand. A 5 Quart Amazon Basics Full Synthetic Motor Oil (5W-30) container sells for about $26 on their website. It is hard to beat that price for Full Synthetic. I read somewhere that Warren Oil Company is the supplier for Amazon. Warren is the name behind many other well known brand names. At that price anyone can afford to change their oil at the 3 to 4K mark which is exactly what I do.

  871. Start testing tbn. That “runs out” at about 7500 miles. That’s prob why 5 and 7k intervals looked fine and 10k went to shit.

  872. BMW says every 10,000 miles. You have a BMW almost 25 years old.

  873. I had a Jag X type for 9 years. Changed the oil twice in that time. Sub frame went and engine was still sweet with no issues. Changing oil is a money making scam, my Jag proved it doesn’t need doing every year. In that time the car covered approx 70k miles

  874. They do run hot. 1) Clean any debris from in front of & behind your radiator. There is a video on YouTube. 2) I had a friend with a tuner set up the cooling fans to come on sooner. Now I don’t even reach 220 degrees.

  878.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I own a car that used to be the shop car representing a dedicated corvette garage at X cross , it runs the stock air system, but did have fitted the stiffer early style "wagon wheels" ,a magna flow axle back system, and slightly lowered. it also seems to have every possible interior screw that is not absolutely essential, removed. not sure if this was intentional, but they did go to the trouble to mix the tires, handling focused on the front, power down prioritized design on the back, like what parelli does with one supercar tire set, only these were kumhos, said to be very good for short races..

  881.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I would only recommend using it on connections similar to spark plugs where it helps to seal away the positive side from water intrusion which can cause the terminal to arch to your engine block. Dielectric grease is not needed in my opinion for automotive grounds. For positive connections I think heat shrink and/or electrical tape will usually be a better fit.

  882. I’m going to fix this myself tomorrow morning to beat the heat, I’ll come back and edit. I know if I go to a shop they’ll quote me probably as much as the car is worth
    2
  883. My rule of thumb is to average between severe and normal recommendations. For my Outback, that’s 4,500 miles and that’s what I stick with… until a few Blackstone analyses.
    2
  884. First of all oil analysis don't mean a damn thing I'll tell you why all that's telling you is your oil is still lubricating and it's in decent shape you want to see how your engine really is take out the bottom of your oil pan and look at all the crud buildup on the bottom of your oil pan oil analysis will never ever tell you about that change your oil every 5000 miles I don't care if you drive a BMW or riding mower The Car Care nut did a excellent video on this topic engines that last three for 500,000 Mi always lasts longer at Five Thousand Mile oil changes remember oil analysis is not telling you how much dirt is in the engine and causing wear and tear on the cylinder walls
    2
  885. Old engines could crave conv blend, and a viscosity upgrade. 15w 40 or 10w 30 will help seal it. A small dab of lucas oil stabilizer helps my 250,000 mile beeters!?! Imho.
    2
  886. Hi, thanks for your reply, and effort in looking into it. I looked into it more and as you suggested it was the cable adapter issue, looking online I saw some posts about a link between pins 7 and 8, opening mine up I found there wasn’t one. Adding this solved the issue and allowed me to reset the airbag light, along with getting into lots more error menus, where I found a few more errors. Cheers

  887. Very good video
    2
  888. I've been working from home since Covid 2020, glad to see your results match mine. It's not the date/time, it's the usage. MIGHT be different on conventional oils, but synth just doesn't "go bad" :hand-purple-blue-peace:
    2
  889. Stop filling oil filters. It takes less than half a second to fill it.
    2
  890. the perfect interval is not a fixed one. I tend to use the average mpg of the engine since the last oil change and adjust accordingly - if lower, then a lower interval. fuel consumption is the best indicator of engine usage.

  891. coughbullshitcough

  892. Going to try and get this done tomorrow

  893. Subscribed and notifications is on!

  894. Seriously you have the best videos for working on the XT250!
    2
  895. I'm almost certain I would break that last spark plug if I tried this myself.
    2
  896. Just changed my 2015 yaris belt in 20 minutes using your video. Had to loosen the 14 MM. Great video. Thank you!
    2
  897. Very good scientific analysis.
    2
  898. This was an amazing video -- love it. My 2013 CBR500R had some slight differences in terms of screws and pins, even to the extra callout that you made. That said, they were simple differences that were easy to figure out, and this video was instrumental to being successful! NAPA tried to pawn off their CHA977 as able to fit, but they use plug and not the smaller screw connector. So just a heads up to actually get the NGK 2306
    2
  899. I would paint the screens black and try to conceal them better. Making a border trim or something to finish the appearance of it being cut out on a whim at the last minute. Looks like an amateurish installation in the wheel well. Yes, it’s done in a guy’s garage, but it doesn’t have to look that way when done…
    2
  900. Good video, but I might have done them in reverse order the motor has another 22k miles on it at the end of your test. I think that is the only possible explanation for escalating oil metals between the 5k and 7.5k oil analysis. There is just no way that running oil 7.5k is better than 5k.
    2
  901. Paid in stress, no kidding! Glad it worked out. PG&E? oh man.
    2
  902. I ordered the same kit that you had in the description, and it didn’t come with it
    2
  903. At least change it twice a year with a repeatable brand, I think you'll be fine, that takes care of the short trips that create condensation from sitting in garage etc...
    2
  904. I do my 530d every 10-15k. I'll save the cash and put it towards my next car/ bike😂. Think oil company's make enough out of me without me helping them!
    2
  905.  @EndlessMoneyPits  my computer tells me when to change oil, but I cut 3k off its advice but there's no motive in BMW and oil companies telling us to extend oil change intervals. They lose lose! I do believe that modern oils are way better than the mineral oil's we used 40yrs ago. I f10 carrys 8ltrs of oil and I do about 20k a year. She wants a change on computer around 17k but I do 12-14k and the oil I remove looks and feels and smells good to go.
    2
  906. Lexus recommends 10K oil & filter change intervals for my Lexus bagged Prius I got @57K which I continued to follow till hitting 100K miles. After watching several Toyota maintenance schedule vids, I now change my oil every 5K miles after rolling over 100K miles & it’s worked out so far. I’ve also changed the coolant & transmission fluid @100K cause I’m trying to keep this car another 20 years or to 350K miles before purchasing a new one.
    2
  907. Does this intake REQUIRE a tune? Or can I drop it in without one and be fine?
    2
  908. New belts usually stretch some. You might have to re tighten it later.
    2
  909. 10,000 km is the absolute sweet spot for engine oil changes. 60,000 km is the perfect interval for ATF changes. If you flush the ATF make sure you never use detergent or cleaning solutions. They are aggressive and dissolve any rubber seals and ultimately destroy your transmission. I drive two MB W211 E55 AMG and E320 with 300,000 km and both engines and transmissions run like on day one. My M113ML engine in the E55 has a whooping 2% leak down pressure loss. Better than most new engines. No additives ever added. Only Mobil 1 0W-40 as recommended by Mercedes.
    2
  910. Hey man I’ve been watching your cbr videos. I’m wondering where you got the rear wheel hugger? It looks awesome I wanna get one myself :)
    2
  911. I am old low mile driving. 3000 or 6 months. Syn or syn blend. Shhshh! 50/50 same brand. Lol
    2
  912. Who was in the red car...
    2
  913. Lol I change mine every 2k on my 335, bonus of working at a shop I suppose
    2
  914. KEEP IT CLEAN! That's it!
    2
  915. Great job! Thank you.
    2
  916. How much is an oil sample. I know in heavy equipment oil samples are done every oil change.
    2
  917.  @EndlessMoneyPits  good to know. Maybe not worth every oil change but possibly as a car ages. Not only keep but it might tell you when to get rid of a car also. Been thinking about reducing oil change interval as my vehicles age. I do 5k mi changes
    2
  918. Awesome. Simple and easy to understand. Thanks
    2
  919.  @EndlessMoneyPits  very nice work I promise you mate, didn't want to come over as being clever or anything. I love working on cars too and I dunno, just feels better I guess to chock a wheel. I need to watch your very informative video again, I love oil services and last year I fitted a home-built bypass filter system to my car and I can 100% say it definitely works 😃
    2
  920. "...and maybe that wasn't the most financially wise decision..." Of course it wasn't. You own a Jeep. Wise financial decisions do not apply.
    2
  921.  @EndlessMoneyPits  alright thanks
    2
  922. we recommend every 10k at toyota, and i recommend 7.5 to my family and friends who don’t beat on their cars. me personally, i have an aftermarket turbo as well as much more power than stock, so i change it every 5k. glad to see my 7.5k recommendation is definitely safe for them.
    2
  923. Why didn't you clean the oil screen and or check it and make sure its clean of any particles? I think its very important!!
    2
  924. Hey, How long did this take? I am getting quoted 2h by everyone for just the spark plugs and no wires.... When in my eyes this is a 30-45 min job (let alone for any experienced mechanic)
    2
  925.  @GregSr  drivers side was the hardest for me. Passenger side was much easier and i started on the harder ones first to make the job feel easier toward the end.
    2
  926. Just followed this video and another one for my year bike as mine is a 2014. Looked intimidating on the video. But the annoying part was taking off the fairings, everything else very simple. Saved $300 that was quoted by my local shop. Thank you.
    2
  927. Very helpful. Thanks.
    2
  928. good job..................

  930. washers on the upper A arm are alignment related
    2
  931.  @EndlessMoneyPits  My C5 turned 100 thousand miles yesterday and I need to change spark plugs and wires . looks easy I think. I got a 04 Mazda 6 3.0 that it takes 3 hrs job to change them out. Be in touch. Life is good.
    2
  932. nice clear video :) subbed
    2
  933.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Throw anything that's related with my favorite bike in the world and I'll watch it bro! As you said in the video some modifications and stuff. Whatever is on your mind
    2
  934. I have a 2011 Jetta TDI, its next oil change will be at 300,000 miles. Engine oil and filter is changed every 10k miles, fuel filter every 20k miles and DSG transmission fluid and filter every 40k miles. Haven’t had a single problem with any mechanical component that is lubricated by those fluids.
    2
  935. wheres the crap go ? ..........the creek ?
    2
  936. Personally I change my oil every morning, it does the trick for me.
    2
  937. This is interesting for those with older bmws w/ higher mileage. I will change e34 w/ 200k at 7.5k interval now with way more confidence- thank you. Now, if someone would do this test with lower mileage newer vehicle that has less wear, we may have different intervals based on under 100k, under 200k and under 300k?
    2
  938. Oil change frequency is different, depending on the engine, driving habits and oil used.
    2
  939. I m working in a oil riffanery. We test oil in our machines and replace when needed. I understood that we all change our engine oil in cars so fast because we don t test it. Oil gets better and better. I don t replace oil faster then described in the manual. Unless i do a trackday and give the engine hell.
    2
  940. now it makes sense, i change the 10w-40 on my 500k+ 3RZFE engine around 3500km. i notice that when reaching the 3000km the performance really nice and acceleration noticable quick and engine is smoother. now will keep it until 5000km
    2
  941. Still waiting on review of transition lens 😎
    2
  942.  @EndlessMoneyPits  nice!
    2
  943. Ive been changing my oil every 10 000km for years and never really had massive problems with my BMW's
    2
  944. …. Didn’t need to remove the weights on the bar… you took off stability to the bike at high speeds and also gave the bike extra vibrations… poor owner…
    2
  945. Thanks!
    2
  946. I just bought that bumper for $250 new from a friend.
    2
  947. Great video, thanks!! The motorcycle stand that you linked, is that the one that you actually used for this vid? Appreciate it in advance.
    2
  948. I have the same helmet and Sena 1.3 but I used the alternate 3M stick on mount and it works fine. However, the Sena speakers are a little to large for the cut out in the helmet. I removed the plastic screens in the speaker cavity so the speakers fit now.
    2
  949. Awesome video thank you
    2
  950.  @moscovich1822  yeah I bought one anyway. Ram is not secure.
    2
  951. What type of gas lift of 2007 Toyota Yaris
    2
  952. Thanks for the info. I normally stick with 10000Km on my Triumph motorcycle, even though it has a 16000Km/10000Mi oil change schedule. If you are going to spoil your engine....oil is where you want to do it. Take it out in good condition and keep the engine as wearfree as possible. Most actual oil costs are less than $100 per service.... that is a lot cheaper than a replacement engine or engine overhaul.
    2
  953. I would love it if you made a video on how to clean out the fins of the radiator on this 🏍...We have tons of bugs and even a couple small dents in the radiator fins
    2
  954. As an old git who has been around the block a few times my view is this !!!! If you have a turbo change your oil every 5000 miles no question. Also if you have a turbo when you have finished your drive let the engine tick over for about 30 seconds to let the turbo stop turning as the oil is not under pressure when you turn the engine off so the turbo turning at mega mega speeds then suddenly has no oil If you have a turbo car remember this otherwise you will be doing what all manufactuers want you to do buy a new turbo.. Hence they do not advise you of this in their so called manual ?? When will we ever get back to having principals God help us all the way things are going !! Safe driving to all !!!
    2
  955. I have worn Shoei helmets for 23 yrs. Loved everyone of them …. except this one. Not being able to have the visor stay in place at every click is driving me nuts. When I tried it on at Iron Pony, I did note the visor issue but thought when I get it home, I’ll tighten the screws and all will b fine. No such luck. Every Shoei I have had from TZ-R’s to RF-1000’s, the visor stayed put at every click. It is unacceptable to pay almost $700 for a helmet where the damn visor doesn’t stay put at every click. Piss poor engineering Shoei, PISS POOR!!!

  956. raising the bike for 6,4 really nessesary?
    2
  957.  @EndlessMoneyPits  good personality tho, so dont worry babes
    2
  958. Oil changes are the best money makers for dealerships, which is why they have become so expensive. I used to change the oil every year and below the mileage requirement. It didn't make any engine last longer than 200,000 km (mostly commuting 6 km).
    2
  959. that stupid gas spout is because of U.S regulations they pretty much have to have it. On my rotopax i've added a leak proof vent cap and aftermarket spout.
    2
  960. changing my own oil is the cleanest, best pleasure..........
    2
  961. Save yourself the hassle, buy an electric car , i did and im a 55 yr old mechanic, 3 yrs 40000miles and the only maintenance was filling the washer bottle ! Clean hands , cash in my wallet! Thank you Tesla 😊
    2
  962. You didn't drain the backup reservoir, do you know where the drain bolt is for that? If not, is it then ok to mix different brands of coolant?
    2
  963. Great video. I'm thinking about getting this bike. I currently have a VTX 1300 and I will be keeping it for my long distance rides. I will be getting this Honda for commuting to work etc. Awesome video.
    2
  964.  @EndlessMoneyPits  excellent video, very easy to follow .👏👏
    2
  965. Agreed, I got away with this the first time, but not the second time when I went to warranty my BJs. Luckily all the hard work is already done, uppers are easy.
    2
  966. Thank you! This was a very thorough install.
    2
  967. You don't need the plugs at all, there is a filter in there ... Just make holes and finished.
    2
  968. What is more expensive? A more 'frequent' oil change or an engine overhaul. P.S. Driving conditions(dirty air, hot air temps, stop and go driving, short trips, extreme cold, older vehicle(miles)) dictate how often to change. Also, more frequent observation of the engine compartment!
    2
  969. There is a less than 1% chance a BMW hits 300k miles. It must be a unicorn.
    2
  970. Dankeschön!🙋
    2
  971. holy your reason for buying/commute is nearly identical to mine. I have put almost 80k on my truck and this among obviously loving bikes is why im getting one
    2
  972. Just think, all this oil changing information will go away when we all run electricity motors!
    2
  973. Only select oils meet the BMW LL (LongLife) standards. Castrol's basic Edge 5W-30 does not. I know this video is a couple years old so perhaps back then they didn't have the "Edge Euro" oils. When I had BMWs, only the Syntec/Edge 0W-30 (colloquially referred to as "German Castrol" as it was the only grade made in German) met the BMW LL standards of the day (likewise Mobil 1 0W-40 and Valvoline 5W-30... this is 20 years ago's formulations, so doubtful any of these exist today...this was around the time they re-branded from Syntec to Edge). I've never done the analysis like this, but perhaps you could try this again with an oil designed for extended change intervals or at least one that meets the BMW-LL std. Castrol was the BMW oil at the time, but I used Mobil 1. Later I switched to BMW (Castrol>Shell/Pennzoil>Castrol)... because my N52 was burning oil and the dealer would top me up for free :) There are several different BMW LL standards (01, 04, 17 FE+, etc.). Some are for diesel engines, etc. Pick the one appropriate for you car.
    2
  974. This is a good video, well organized, well paced and just what I was looking for. Thanks!
    2
  975. When my oil turns into black thick solid sludgy oil, then it's time to change my car. 😂😊
    2
  976. I have used Amsoil Signature Series in 3 of my vehicles since new. I had oil analysis run at 5,000 & 10,000 miles. My readings showed additive for improved lubrication such as Moly, zinc and Phosphorus levels reminded high, indicating a high quality additive package used by Amsoil.

  977. i sold the car, no longer a member of endless money pits

  979. Does this procedure work also on toyota altis 2009 Manual?
    2
  980. I also use Blackstone for my oil samples. An extra cost test that I have found useful is TBN. Its a baseline number on oil that decreases as usage increases and is a clear indicator as to how much detergent and anti- wear additive is left in the oil. After 5700 miles my number was down to 1, indicating the oil was essentially almost out of additive. As a result I now do oil and filter changes every 5000 miles. Metals in the oil circulate causing more wear. Change the oil and get them out rather than letting them wear out the engine pre-maturely.
    2
  981. Sounds like a smart buy.
    2
  982. It would be interesting to do another 10K analysis. 7500 looked better than 5000? Another 10000 might shed light on whether that was an anomaly or not. Perhaps the 5000 change cleaned the engine thus the improvement in the 7500 change? When comparing oil change intervals I think the ticket would be looking for linear degradation. If the analysis shows exponential wear then the interval is too long. IOW 75000 should show 1.5 degradation vs 5000 miles.
    2
  983.  @EndlessMoneyPits  He/she means the metal shield that was on the original plug wire that you removed.
    2
  984.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thank you so much! 👍
    2
  985. My XT225 swingarm has 2 grease zerks at the front pivot point..
    2
  986. I would never run an oil that long no matter how good they say it is. Just asking for problems
    2
  987. I deeply appreciate all your videos Endless Money Pits 👍🏼❤….I know your CBR500R hasn’t yet reached that mileage yet but I know you so keen on keeping your bike at its best health…but when do you plan on making a valve clearance video?
    2
  988. I am sure I read some years ago that synthetic oil can go 20 000 miles. The old oil like gtx from years ago use to completely break down and turn in a wax like state destroying the engine.
    2
  989. some of the best DIY videos on the internet
    2
  990.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Good to hear!
    2
  991. I have a hybrid but I am still going to do my oil changes about every 7500 miles as I normally do for my past vehicles. It's a safe bet for sure.
    2
  992. I have always changed oil based on 5,000 mileage, not time, including for vehicles I have driven over 200,000 miles each. Never had an oil problem. Seriously, how could oil deteriorate in a parked vehicle? Are retail stores rotating their stock of motor oils like with milk? If you do make short trips where the vehicle never fully warms up, or for heavy duty use, just make the mileage intervals shorter. Conventional oils may be cheap but not so for the top synthetic brands or for classic car oils having zinc in the formula.
    2
  993. Its such a subjective matter that there is no hard and fast rule.It's only the manufacturers recommendation,the key word being recommendation.its all made up rubbish anyway( companies like Lexus offer company buyers halved service intervals to that offered to private buyers on the exact same vehicles).There are too many variables to be precise, Engine type,fuel type,fuel brands,oil brands,environment,driving style,long journeys,short journeys,town use,motorway use............ The problem is that with the modern car the oils workload is ever increasing,turbos on almost everything and valvetrain control,vvc,multiair etc.relying on it for correct actuation .tighter tolerances etc.smaller engines working harder and hotter than ever before. There used to be a saying that any oil is better than none but its got to the point where even the wrong specification of the right grade can be detrimental. I used to keep a couple of 205 litre drums of a couple of different oils, a c3 5/30 and 10/40,now I would need a workshop the size of the boeing building just for the different oils,I have to keep about 40-50 different transmission fluids now too,its ridiculous.Only you know how the above variables apply in your particular case,changing oil isn't rocket science and assuming that you have done or are contemplating doing your own then Im assuming you have enough common sense to work out for your self as to when to do it. What I can tell you is that most of the cars I see with serious issues arising from obvious lack of oil changes( baked crud internals😂)is that they tend to be smaller diesel cars,and for diesel cars in particular I would err on the side of caution,having more knock on effects from poor oil condition than your average petrol engine.
    2
  994. Oil is cheap engines are expensive
    2
  995. I always change mine it’s not worth taking the chance! Each his own
    2
  996. I always change my oil and oil filter at 3,000 MI it's just cheap insurance.
    2
  997. Your oil may be able to handle long term use. But your oil filter can’t.
    2
  998. With the costs of engine repairs , I usually change my engine oil in most of my vehicles once a year no matter what the miles! I use full synthetic oils and rarely exceed 5000 miles a year on any of them. My wife’s vehicle I change twice a year ….she puts 10,000-12,000 miles a year. Waiting till the oils get burnt or dirty causes engine damage !

  1004. Great video, the camera angles are really good, very helpful thanks!
    2
  1005. On my 97 it was a huge difference. Mine where bent and blown out so loading up the suspension it had lots of mush to compensate for. They also clunked since they where 110% shot. I also put new sway bar bushings while in there.
    2
  1006. You can never change your oil too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2
  1007. I drive at middle european conditions. Depending on my driving i got indicated to change oil between 10000mi to 17000mi. I drive often with trailer. I usually have to top up some oil at about 10000 miles. I got 155000 miles on the clock now. I think i soon need to change cam chain and oil pump.
    2
  1008.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I found that just because you teach them doesn’t mean they will follow your advice.
    2
  1009.  @EndlessMoneyPits  That's because people who take care of their cars don't change them so often. People who trash their cars know that it is about to need some serious $$ to fix them
    2
  1010.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Not relevant to your theme of do oils degrade over time or just with engine miles, maybe. However, many manufacturers entered a brain in trousers marketing frenzy of 'Our engines have longer servicing intervals than yours' competition. As @squeakers27 said, and as mentioned by the @CarWizard how a car is looked after during its first 100,000 miles has little effect on whether it makes 100,000 miles, but really does impact the cost of getting it to 200,000 and whether it will get to 200,000 and go further. :)
    2
  1011. Additionally colder weather takes a toll, change your oil more often in the winter months as well. Moisture does build up in the oil in colder weather. Drive for at least 30 mins too, don't go out, start the engine and warm up for 20 mins at idle either. I see many of my neighbors do that; extended idles will destroy engine rings by cleaning the cylinder walls of lubrication. There's a lot you can do to extend your engines life.
    2
  1012. Keep oil , oil filters , fuel , fuel filters and air filters clean and you will extend the life of your engine , fact !
    2
  1013. Great Video. Thank You! Oil/Filter Changes are the cheapest way to keep your engine in tip-top shape. I had a 1992 E36 M50B20 N/V and the engine was largely worn out by 132,000Km . 50,000 km that I had it. Overly rich mixtures and stuck thermostats probably aged mine. My e36 was a nightmare cost wise. 3 Years ago I got a 2014 Lexus IS350 F Sport as my Daily. 234KW V6, 8 speed box. It is day and night. I'll always love (and hate) my e36, but the Lexus is so cheap to own. and Gas Mileage... its almost half the 2 litre BMW 6 (33.1 US mpg Lexus on freeway Vs my e36 BMW 18.32 US mpg) My 2.0 6 Cyl BMW made 148HP (110 kW) Torque140 lb⋅ft . Your 2.8 made 142 kW (190 hp) 280 lb⋅ft new. My 3.5 litre 2GR-FSE Lexus makes 314hp (234Kw) 280 ft/lb torque. In my 50,000km of ownership, I replaced the Auto gearbox, 5 alternators, 4 batteries, a starter motor, a diff, 3 fuel pumps, 2 A/C re-gasses, new leather seats and 3 resprays. It had already blown the head gasket and been replaced prior to me buying it. I live in Perth, Western Australia, which is similar weather to San Diego or East of there. Very hot and dry. BMWs are Money Pits as you know. But Mercedes are twice as expensive and AUDI... well owning an aging AUDI is ludicrously expensive. Lexus has 314HP. (234Kw) and if you are looking to upgrade in the future, Honestly, go Lexus.

  1017. Good job. Has this locked up again on you? That piston looks pretty rough but I’m sure it’s fine temporarily. I would have opted for a new one.

  1019. i always shoot for around 3500 miles on a oil change, i think you shouldn't wait till your over 200k miles to worry about doing more regular oil changes, oil and filter is cheap insurance.
    2
  1020. When in doubt, change it every 5k miles😅

  1021.  @EndlessMoneyPits  That's usually how universal model high output alternators are installer here in the EU, my car had a P&P alternator with no changes needed, washers work fine for a couple customers with universal model alternators, my oldest one has had it for 3 years at least, but yes I see your point in what people look for.

  1026. Not all miles are created equal. Driving at fixed rpm and load on a highway is a completely different story compared to driving in a big city with lots of traffic jams, hot weather, driving uphill or towing heavy loads. In those heavy conditions oil shall be changed more often. It's better to change oil basing on hours your motor was running (around 300) or amount of fuel burned. Latter depends of your engine displacement, engine oil capacity and fuel economy.
    2
  1027. I have a Honda with VTEC valve train .. the cleanliness of oil is very important to keep these things working right ..I have read lots of stories about VTEC Problems related to dirty oil ..
    2
  1028. You should be changing your oil more often than specs call for, especially if you have a BMW. This guy never said how many engines he went through to attain his total mileage for that car. Most modern engines have long chain components with plastic guides along with tighter tolerances throughout the motor. Having clean oil is a must for those engines to keep the friction and heat to a minimum.

  1032. I do 15k oil changes. I use full synthetic oil & also use a 20k oil filter. And never had a problem with any of my cars by doing that.

  1033. I have a bmw 320i 2006 which needs the control arm replaced, my mech guy suggested Lemforder brand which are significantly more expensive than meyle (used in the video) should I go with the more exppensive brand or the meyle are just as good. also at what interval are they changed
    2
  1034. It all seems a little ambiguous to me, but then I'm no expert...To be safe I just do mine once a year or around 8,000 miles.

  1035. So far I am one minute in, and loving the content already. Have a 2013 cbr 500r that’s been sitting for about 3 years or so. Trying to get it running again now. Using your video to help get the gas tank off to clean it. Thank you. I’ll edit this comment when I get some progress made! Thank you so much! Edit: 1 hour in and I got everything off besides the tank. Going to figure that part out next. Appreciate it again.

  1042. Prius Gen 2, 345 000km now. The engine is known for oil consumption. I change oil every 6-8Tkm and have still almost no oil consumption. 2 times I added hydraulic lifter cleaning additive before the oil change for 500km. Thank you for your experience and test!
    2
  1043. Informative. But yes, "oil is cheap"... once a year is reasonable. Thanks for the great content!
    2
  1044. what does the fuel additive do? and how effective is it?
    2
  1045.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yeah I have a few questions about the C5 as my tata and I just got one. Right now we are facing a small issue regarding the transmission. The car is an automatic and it desperately needs a oil change. But going back to the transmission it jerks a little bit and we think it might be the transmission fluid. The car also has an issue with the pop ups as sometimes they won’t go down and they are not the OEM headlights and wonder if it’s a voltage problem. Sorry to unload this on you like this and I don’t expect you to cover all this but I just appreciate whatever you might have an answer to. Thanks again , and yeah you got great content here so it’s really interesting to learn a lot of new things about cars.
    2
  1046. I rewatched this and my impression the second time theough is I bet it’s possible the collection technique can matter. Maybe the heavy metals settled more in one of your test samples. It would be an interesting question to ask the lab to see what they think. Maybe oil is viscous enough it would stay homogeneous and the problem I mention wouldn’t be a factor, idk

  1055. It Doesn't matter which way you cut the cake, doing oil & filter changes more frequently is not only good insurance, it also makes common sense. I own two Mercedes, a 478,000 Klm. E280 W124 & a 2003 E320 W211 that get an oil & Mann filter change every 5,000 Klms. & cam shafts are like the day the engines were built. Oil is cheap, filters are cheap, re-building engines is not!
    2
  1056. There's no such thing as "too often". My ex had a mini cooper which had a 15k oil change interval. I told her that it was ridiculous but she argued and screamed and continued to get it done every 15k. This wasn't even using long life synthetic but with cheap dino juice. Long story short, the valve seals all failed by 80k miles. We couldn't afford to fix it because we were too busy making $800 per month payments on the car while living in and paying for an apartment in California. She decided to blame me for it all because I didn't push my point hard enough.
    2
  1057. If you are not pushing the engine to it's limits of heat/wear very often, then yes oil does not degrade naturally over a few years. It does degrade however if it it exposed to high temperatures and high revs in engine use (such as trackdays). I drive my cars hard. I change my engine oil every 6000 miles, and have just done a gearbox oil change, and rear axle (diff) oil change too, at 41,000 miles. I have worked in the motor industry a number of years, and have seen to consequences of poor maintanance. BMW say my M140i needs oil changes every 15,000 miles !! WTF this is far too long. For an engine with 340bhp standard, no way, and most owners tune them (mine is 455bhp), this causes more heat and more stress when pushing the engine, and more oil degradation. I think 7000 miles is about the maximum without wasting money.
    2
  1058. I go by oil color when it is black and thick it is time on older gas engines about 3k on diesel turbo 250hrs some newer engines with mobil 1 can go over 10k if its a used machine change when oil turns dark dont forget other fluids trans 10k if towing rears about 75k test coolant every fall been doing this over 50years have 2 trucks over 400k several heavy equit.made in 70s 1 with 20,000hrs

  1062. If the OP used better oil and filters, his results would be much different with better results. Amsoil Signature series is one of the top three oils available, especially if you are using a good filter from them or a top brand or model (There are really only two main oil filter manufacturers). The oil and filter the OP is using isn't even close to Amsoil quality or does it have the additive package to remotely match it. I would bet an oil change that if he switched to one of these oils and filters listed below, he would have better oil analysis results and longer engine life. I have does exhaustive oil testing on oils and filters worth thousands of dollars on five vehicles, three cars and one is a C7 Z06, one 2010 hybrid, and a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee plus two HVAC work vans. I have tested oils from 5000-6500 on the vans and 5000, 7500 and 10k on the hybrid and the Grand Cherokee as that is factory recommended. The Z06 is based on how much I race it. It has 800whp on E85 and methanol injection and gets changed much more often, but have found that the racing has barely made a dent in the additive packages or wear metals. I am flabbergasted at how well the top three oils and filters have had incredible results far and beyond the crap formulation of Castrol Edge Titanium, Mobil1 Extended Performance and Mobil1 filters, oils like Royal Purple, STP, Super Tech/Kirkland (Warren oil company), etc are all junk compared to the oils listed below. I am only talking Full Synthetic oils and the results I have found. I don't test or use conventional oils or Synthetic blends, so I have no results for those. Engines are expensive and oil is too cheap to not use the best available. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Valvoline EP HM is around $40-$50 depending on which filter you choose. I have my results from Blackstone labs and continue to test every other oil change and I now know which oils and filters I choose to use in my vehicles based on my testing. Use these oils and filters for the best results: Amazon and Walmart will have all the oils and filters besides the Amsoil. Preferred members get dealer pricing. TBN on Amsoil is 12.5 out of the bottle as virgin oil. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Amsoil Signature Series Valvoline Extended Performance High Mileage Redline as a distant fourth. Amsoil EAO filter (EK, if no EAO is available) Fram Endurance filter Purolator Boss (Produced by Mann-Hummel) Both top two filters are made by Champion labs One note: Any vehicle that runs a 3614 filter and has enough clearance can run a 3600 oil filter for better results which is also the Amsoil EAO34 or the Fram FE3600 (They are identical filters). Whip City has all the oil filters tested. Plus I cut my oil filters open after each change to check for metals or carbon. Remember, filter magnets or magnet oil plugs only catch ferrous metals and any metal like aluminum, etc etc will not still to a magnet and needs to be trapped in the filter. Feel free to send any questions or comments to me. Also, lookup Ford Boss Me on YouTube for further oil analysis and testing. The guy is a master Mechanic and owns his own shop.

  1063. Hi, at same time it would be nice to see the fairing removal. I had so much trouble I got stock on the last 7 notches near the headlight and I broke one tab even being careful I stopped and put the fairing back. And for the flush, would be nice to see the reserve tank flush too. Thanks.

  1065. There are calcium rich engine oils which can leave calcium residues on petrol engines where enough heat dissapates to creat calcium smol chunks. Its also said, that one should go with calcium poor oil if he or she drives a direct injection petrol engine with LSPi issues.
    2
  1066. Verdict change the oil and filter every 7,500 Miles (12,000 Km) EDIT... BMW recommends you change the oil every 15,000 Miles because they want the engine f**ked once the warranty runs out.... NICE TRY BMW I have a 1998 gasoline/petrol engine Toyota Celica and I change the oil/filter every 8,000 Miles without fail and so did the previous owner... The car has now done 225,000 Miles and is still going strong.

  1071. It's kind risky to go out showing this without proper context. A very important one is where you live, oil doesn't degrade if you live on a somewhat dry and relatively cold environment, but the results would be different if you lived somewhere hot and humid all year, and especially near the beach.

  1078. I’m been changing oil and filter at 5000km intervals in all my cars for 30 years. Had a 1989 535i a few years back acquired with about 180,000km. With this car I also used an engine flush at each 5000km oil change. After 2 years (40,000km) driving the valve train viewed through the filler cap was brand new in appearance- absolutely zero gumming, shiny clean componentry. Oil is cheap! Incidentally, 5,000 km is 3,100 miles and the use of 5,000km facilitates easy visualisation on when change next due.

  1080. should 30-35 mm on the sidestand .. so maybe 50-55 on a bike stand is good .. but i prefer do like manual say or if you want it perfect,. what i do i put enough pressure on rear spring with ratched strap,, and then tend the chain tight,, and then ,, take off the strap,, there you have the perfect slack,, dont put the strap around your exhaust,, 🙂 works for any bike,, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cytkSyOqP-4

  1084. wonderfully well kept car, my `03 E39 520i wagon has now just over 420k kilometres as well, but yours looks alot better. i change my oil about every 15k km (10k mls) using 5W40 as I run the car on LPG, which burns slightly hotter. often, i even just use an oilpump to drain the oil through the dipstick tube, the remaining 250ml or so oil may stay and get diluted. this way i don't risk making a big mess on my garage floor and won't overtorque the drain bolt later. and it's alot easier and hence actually really super quick.  keep up the good work and happy motoring, cheers from Germany!

I sold her with 351,000 miles on her. She was still running great. I have an Acura ILX that requires me to change my oil every 3000 miles. Set by the computer in my car. She has 157000 miles on her.

  1098. I would change it at 5000-6000 miles if it were me. Also, your 5000 mile test could have been off because you did the 10k mile test first. I would have went 5, 7.5, and then the 10k interval in case the higher milage times added metal to the sample. I also would never go 12k miles on a filter. Congrats on having a BMW with very high milage that still runs.

  1101. I was told that humid environments cause water contamination. Curious to see results
    1
  1102. I think... that as much as you did a great job here, more detailed steps and analysis are needed. Castrol is a good oil, but there are better ones out there, objectively speaking... such as Mobil 1, Super Tech from Walmart (actually shown this on Project Farm and from it's specs and certifications), and even Amazon brand oil is really good. Can't speak for Kirkland, but Valvoline and Penzoil Ultra Platinum and even Penzoil Platinum are great. Additionally, you're using a filter I don't think most have heard of, at least I haven't. With your car being higher mileage, I'd go with a filter that is better designed to work specifically with a full synthetic like a Purolator One, Purolator Boss, Mobil 1, Mobil 1 Extended Protection, Wix (and it's variations for high mileage/full syn oil), etc. The biggest thing here is that you're seeing a scientific result that your Castrol Full Synthetic is doing an amazing job at wear protection within it's designed limits... and while the engineers at BMW recommend 15k mileage, you can see the oil you're using is NOT up to the task. I too wouldn't feel good about that range, especially with an older car like that with the miles. However, if you were using an oil that was specifically built for that kind of abuse, I would be very willing to bet you'd get good or better results than you did here at 10k. Lastly, my point here is not all filters, engines, or oils are the same. Oil has come a LONG way in just the last 10 years, let alone 50! Full Synthetic is always better than anything else, however... not all full synthetics are the same! If you're willing, do this again with a Mobil 1 extended life filter and a Mobil 1 Extended Life Full Synthetic... or what would be more appropriate, a Mobil 1 normal filter with their Mobil 1 Full Syn High Mileage oil. Great video, love seeing BMWs that actually live a long life (modern ones are such crap!) and I subbed because I'd like to see more content. I'm not a mechanic, I could of course be wrong... this is all just knowledge I've picked up along the way of working on cars and around mechanics myself. I'm 37 and currently driving a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4WD with a 5-speed manual transmission (the 4WD is manual shift too, not electronic crap) and it has over 212,000 miles on it and it doesn't burn any oil that I'm aware of. However, there was a very noticeable difference when I put some high mileage Super Tech full Syn oil with a Mobil 1 filter on it. It was 3 qts low out of 6 when I got it given to me and had some leaks around the valve covers and oil filter originally on it. I feared the worst but it's got no more oil light on startup, runs with no bad sounds, and is much smoother now. The thing is a tank, here's to hoping yours goes another 300k!

  1112. I just change my oil when i remove the dipstick and its dark
    1
  1113. That's really interesting but i think the different results have nothing to do with the intervalls. I have an old Audi A3 and i never changed oil over the last 150.000km. It looses about 1 liter per month and so i am always just refilling it. It gets new oil on a monthly base you could say. Total mileage is now about 320.000km and it sounds healthy when driving and starting the engine. I guess oil change is a bit overrated when i look at my engine. May vary depending on the engine though.
    1
  1114. Your analysis is not complete , the water is gone but it turned into acids(when mixed with sulfur from combustion+heat), probably why you are finding copper and tin(bearing material), not like bmw makes great engines from the get go. I wouldn t even change the oil in that piece, let alone put gas in it...

  1130. LMFAOOOOOO well BMW wants you to change it every 15k 😂 seems like they love their unreliable shitboxes puts their mechanics kids through college hahahaha
    1
  1131. Sounds like an extremely bad idea to save few bucks by running super oil change intervals. I still do 3-4k miles change.
    1
  1132. I do mine every 3k on RX450h and every 5k on 2012 Honda goldwing but I will start every 3k on goldwing also with 146k on bike. Edit: I never use synthetic on either. I always used Honda brand oil for bike and regular oil for RX. Ever had any issues. Cheap too.

  1133. When the oil begins to look dirty, then change it.

  1141. I quit using oil analysis at my work (Kendall Labs) after they told me I had traces of antifreeze in one sample. Only problem is it was from an air cooled engine.

  1142.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I didn't follow up as most of our fleet was low mileage and I hadn't seen any real advantage to using the service so I terminated it.

  1143. How does the rear sprocket feel with the 2 extra teeth? Does it feel like longer gearing?
    1
  1144.  @EndlessMoneyPits  no kidding 😆 i think ill stick with whats on it now. Think ill be replacing mine soon.
    1
  1145. If you don't change it a lot, make sure you chrck it a lot. Oil is a grea indication of the status of your vehicle.
    1
  1146. I was wondering , does the weather conditions play any role ? If for example you live in a very hot country like Greece , would the results be the same ? Also it would be good to know how do you drive these 5000 or 7,500 miles . Is it in a town with traffic , or in long trips in highways ?
    1
  1147. REALLY. You’re driving a very expensive car with high mileage and are worrying about oil changes…get a life.
    1
  1148. In my A3 1.9 TDI 2003 I change between 10k-11k km. Even if I use "long life" oil.

  1152. Nice shine!
    1
  1153. As I change oil myself, despite MB specify 30'000km, I apply the following rules all the time: once a year or 15'000km max. Always use approved Mercedes oil! Oil is much cheaper than an engine. 😮

  1156.  @EndlessMoneyPits  daily ride around helmet, it's awesome. Great protection, it's what I used when I took my hellcat to the track. I want to get my hands on a AVG Pista and see if that's any better with drag at higher speeds. For what it is though, the RF-1400 is a solid choice for the street.
    1
  1157. These longer oil changes are being pushed by the EPA. They could care less how it is not good for the engines and just want less oil used by car owners.

  1159. Give me old school bikes. I had cb 500 4 & doing work was easy but doing work on cbr500 is like wtf . Thanks for the video you make . This is my daughter’s bike I don’t know what she do when I’m gone . Hopefully a good job & can pay someone cheer’s

  1163. You need to have the car in a "tent". At least air must be able to circulate around the whole car. If you have something/anything in direct contact with the surface of the car that moves because of the wind, the paint willbe damaged. If the cover would stand the rain, you need at least to have the windows slightly open. If you have a car inside a building that isn't heated (for a long time) you also have to have a couple of windows open, otherwise the car more or less look like yours. Some kind of "tent" is the only solution! But don't forget the ventilation holes at the top of the "tent". Cars are not made for long time parking! They should be used at least once a week.
    1
  1164. great video, one question though, my voltage is good but my amps are horrible. Any ideas on possible issues
    1
  1165. I never drain my oil. I use the famous Frantz toilet paper oil filter. I'll bet the title to your car that my oil is cleaner than yours and contains it's full additive package.
    1
  1166. Im in Miami is really hot.. what is best oil so it won't sludge? Bmw f10 2012 528i
    1
  1167. I don't think your increased wear metals has to do with your 10,000 mile interval; I recently did a 23,000 mile oil change on my 2011 Camry V-6 that 252,000 miles on it at the time and my wear metals are nowhere near yours, and yes, I drive it hard too, having taking it to redline many times & WOT up mountains, etc. When you drive your engine to redline or drive it hard, are you waiting until it is fully warmed up or do you do it anytime? This can cause increased wear if you're not waiting for it to warm up. Also, it is concerning that the report indicates an increase in viscosity; this is typical for conventional oil that has more volatility where the lighter volatile components of the oil are burned off, resulting a thickening of the oil. Where is your TBN (total base number) test? This is an added test that is required if you're going to run longer intervals. This test shows how well the additive package is neutralizing acids in the oil and is what dictates whether or not the oil is still good. TBN starts around 7 for fresh oil and drops as use it; when it drops to below 1, that's when you change the oil. You've got other problems for your increased engine wear. Again, my 23,000 mile change with mobil-1 5W-30 was perfect - nowhere near as bad as yours. For reference, my Blackstone report showed aluminum of 5, iron = 13, Moly = 74, and my viscosity was the same as new, and TBN was at 1.8 so it was still fine at 23,398 miles on the oil. I typically change my oil at 20,000 miles and the engine is perfect, doesn't burn oil and is nice & clean inside. it now has 272,000 miles on it.
    1
  1168. Once oil is no longer honey coloured it needs to be changed. It has done what it's supposed to do it should not stay inside the engine, all the carbon particles and crap sink to the bottom of the sump and other parts where oil is retained in small depressions and starts to form sludge. This requirement is regardless of viscosity and additives in the oil. What's cheaper and oil/filter change or an engine that is gummed up with ''black death'', loses power and may need reconditioning depending on use (short journeys worsen wear). If you're not prepared to change your oil every 3 to 5,000 miles and keep your engine in tip-top condition live with the consequence. Have you seen the internals of an engine that hasn't had regular oil changes compared to one that has? Remove your sump and have a look inside. Synthetic oil is not synthetic at all, that is marketing b/s. Use a good quality mineral oil.

  1174. The (Florida) garage that changes my oil uses Pennzoil conventional. They have me change it every 3000. It's a 2002 Crown Vic.
    1
  1175. Use top quality oil but change the oil filter every 5000 klms. Oil will last 15,000 klms. ( under normal driving conditions.)
    1
  1176. Your car is jacked up on an angle and is not level. There is still used oil in your pan with each oil change. Mixing used oil with new oil does not give accurate results.
    1
  1177. That oil turns really dark even at 5k, ever considered using a lower temp thermostat for the radiator or add an oil cooler to the loop? IMO if you're red lining an engine daily you really should take extra good care of it too, instead of just relying on its build quality, specially one with so many miles on it
    1
  1178. wish you were doing this in a newer car with a turbo.. As newer cars run in pretty high compression ratios and well........ turbos.
    1
  1179. u didn't change the filter for each test? thankx for wasting my time.....
    1
  1180. Please add also avg. speed in those intervals. Diffrence in 7500 miles driven in a highway vs in a city is huge for the engine.
    1
  1181. Had a 2000 Chrysler Cirrhus with close to 300,000 miles on it. I next to never changed the oil. Still purred like a kitten. Go figure.
    1
  1182. Hi I've just bought a 2009 for my wife. What oil filter did you install. Cheers
    1
  1183. If people just double their oil change interval the oil companies will lose money, they will react by raising oil prices, so people will be changing their oil 50% less but paying more per change....... when the dust settles, the money they spend on oil will be pretty much the same.

  1189. Nice car.
    1
  1190. New vehicles have oil life monitors with both time and driving parameters (mileage, temperature, etc.). If you are under warranty, and neglect to have oil changed (even with low mileage) within oil life monitor time parameter; you will void the warranty. I think turbo engines caused this - a way out for the manufacturer honoring the warranty.
    1
  1191. I change mine every 3k miles
    1
  1192. damn your car is clean
    1
  1193. For my old Hondas, I do every 3,000, have never had an issue. If you have any sort of gas turbo direct injected engine, every 3,000-5,000, the oil will be consumed below the low line otherwise, speaking from personal experience as an Indy tech for the last 5 yrs.
    1
  1194. I remember I got in an argument with a guy on Reddit who claimed he was a mechanic and he changed his oil every 10-15k in his BMW and than anything less than that is a waste of money and oil. I told him he was absolutely wrong and that he should change it way more often and he proceeded to call me an idiot and wasteful 😂😂😂. Sad part is, everyone in the thread downvoted me and upvoted him 💀 gotta love redditors.
    1
  1195. In order to decide oil change, pull out the dip stick and check engine oil quality, if it's burned and getting thick than replace it.. it simple....
    1
  1196. All you're telling me with this information is that I'm better off just sticking to my 2004 to it a Camry because It's engine wasn't subject to EPA regulations that would potentially affect its longevity if I miss a thousand or so miles of oil changing. considering the extra cost to change all this stuff out and bothered vehicles and that the government is playing for the increased cost and/or companies cutting corners to meet these EPA regulations, it feels like I have no real reason to get myself another used car if I keep fixing this one and being vigilant with maintenance.

  1210. Does ur vette have uneven ride height?
    1
  1211. I have used the same mechanic for years because I trust him. He questioned why I wanted my car serviced after only 4,000 miles? I said because it was 12 month since its last service. He checked the oil it was nice and clean and still up to level, he advised leaving it until 7,500 miles.
    1
  1212. I use the cheapest priced mineral oil on the shelf. Have mixed brands, types and viscosities and change every 10,000 miles. With over 256,000 miles, there is no sludge or oil burning.
    1
  1213. How about a case for a low mileage with long time interval? Can we keep the oil for 2 years if I drive less than 6k Miles?
    1
  1214. Ok I guess I need this
    1
  1215. Finding this interesting. In I have a 255k mile n52 530xi. My local bmw dealer told me 10 years ago, when I bought the car. Change the oil at 1/2 of the recommended interval. So 7500 miles. Best advice ever. mostly interstate 40 miles to work
    1
  1216. I've seen that car.
    1
  1217. I do mine at 3000 miles. You can hear the difference when it's worn out. It's worn out at 3000 miles. I have overhauled many a motor. People would not change oil often as I. So the end result was predictable. Highly worn parts and ticking....
    1
  1218. I always felt the 10k intervals were scammy marketing. Humans act like “the new tech” is so much better. But it’s not. It’s just not that much better. I just change oil on my cars like I used to 30 years ago when I fell like the Japanese manufacturers told us the truth… 3000 mile intervals.

  1219. Carefull,Wallmart may ask for the tool back.Good video

  1220. I have an 08 gmc duramax diesel engine truck and I use Rotella 15w40 all its life however I change my oil once a year which is around 33k miles a year I sent Blackstone a sample of my 33k mile oil and the report basically said the metal ware was normal no fuel or antifreeze was in the oil and the viscosity was the same and I could have gone 40k miles on that oil so that's what I been doing for now on and currently my truck has 305k miles on it👍🏿 But as for the moisture theory I think the oil needs to be good and hot to burn off any moisture if not I think it will sludge up because the oil is not hot enough so short trips is a no no
    1
  1221. This really helps my thinking a lot. I am assuming the same thinking would apply to front a rear gear oil. Subaru says my gear oils should be changed at 30,000 miles and when I go in the dealer wants me to change it now at 24,000 miles I guess because the manual says 3 years or 30,000 miles. These dealer really try to come up with maintenance that doesn't really need to happen. Going to start doing my own maintenance as much as possible. Any comments?
    1
  1222.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks for the response boss. Something to think about. I'll ask around. Great vid you did. I passed it onto a friend that changes his oil every 3000. WITH SYNTHETIC! What a waste.
    1
  1223. use a better oil, like penzoil ultra platinum or any amsoil.

  1225.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thank you for the explanation, and the video! well the only issue i'm having is when i roll up to a stop, very slow, and put the car into 1st gear, i hear a small 'clonk' sometimes, the car shifts between gears just fine besides the annoying 'clonk' that i hear sometimes, i changed the rear diff oil, so thats not the case.

  1226.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks thats great info, i just need to figure how much my gearbox needs now, i've seen other youtube videos mention zf/getrag gearboxes and other types too, do you know where i should go to find this info, is a 1998, 5 speed manual.

  1231. I change my oil in my supercharged 2011 mustang GT at every 3k miles. Kinda have to since the engine is experiencing higher stresses and I live in California where there’s always traffic and slow ass drivers that go 40MPH in a 55MPH zone
    1
  1232. Hey thanks for the clear vids! So with the bigger sprocket you should have ordered a 111 link chain plus the master or is the 112 correct plus the master? Thanks man!
    1
  1233. Load of rubbish. Kerosene on the chain removes and dilutes the grease. Second, do not use a tape measure, use a steel ruler on the swing arm, NOT the chain guide and measure to centre of the link. All of this is in the Honda owners manual. This guy is talking rubbish.......
    1
  1234. Blackstone is using ICP for your wear metals analysis....this is only good for particles of 5 microns or smaller. Damage primary occurs when the wear metal micron size is 5 micron or larger "three body wear"....thus the ICP analysis is not catching the larger particles. In order to get a more accurate analysis you need an RDE instrument to provide you with elemental analysis.

  1235. Shoutout to david for cleaning the entire cover instead of just around the oil inlet at 07:08 I was having an anxiety attack - will he clean the remaining portion, WILL HE??! 😂

  1236. Man, a huge thank you from Strasbourg, France. You helped me so much ❤
    1
  1237. Same here. 5k-7k oil changes. I just make sure I buy a decent oil filter that'll purify my oil for that long.
    1
  1238. Another factor is if your engine is petrol or diesel. Diesels form a higher soot/ash content and contaminates the EGR valve and DPF, consequently, contaminating your oil. I have no doubt that DPF Regerations etc with dirty your oil and age it conserabslly, if you are doibg city, town journeys.. 6 months to a year max for a diesel…

  1239. You don't use the same fucking oil for extended life

  1241. no oil filter last more than 3500 miles,even if you decide to change the oil every 7500 miles,always change the filter once in between

  1243. Thank you!
    1
  1244. It seems Only mechanics in north America are told to change oil at so low mileage. 100% convinced it's just the oil companies wanting to sell you more oil. It's a bit like when we were told breakfast is the most important meal of the day.. made up to sell breakfast cereal.
    1
  1245. What about the oil filter? Mechanics and engineers claim they last shorter than the oil.
    1
  1246. Lpg cars oil should last a lot longer I guess as less carbon buildup in the engine?
    1
  1247. I think now with the emissions running through the crank case, you’re gonna find engines that are done at 10,000 miles are never gonna make it to 200,000 and they never tell you about the sludge around the rings on oil analysis that’s only found out after you didn’t change your oil enough I’ve done many oil analysis. And the oil was always fine.

  1259. I always change oil at 10,000km (6250miles) and always change the filter as well. Expensive oil holds its specifications longer but collect contaminants just the same.

  1266. Hello, first i will thank you for this video. I have installed everything on the exact same way how you tell. But when i open INPA i can't see the model of the bmw cars. Only what i see is f1 for information and f2 for script and f10 for end. I can't select the option for e46. What is the problem?
    1
  1267. So what would it be on my s55 M4 i currently change it every 4000 with liqui molly
    1
  1268. I am very curious about this analysis. I'm using fully synthetic. I have several vehicles. Because I split time on them, I'm driving less than 5000 miles a year on any of my vehicles. In particular concern, is our Jag F type. 1000-1200 miles year. Is annual oil changes required? I suspect not. I'll be running some analysis myself to see what are the results.
    1
  1269. I dont know how will the video end, but here in my country we change the oil every 3000 miles (5000km)

  1272. Non-use usually isn't the issue for most people, it's that most people drive regularly (so say 10,000 - 15,000 miles per year as normal) BUT still only change their oil once per year and then wonder why they have issues later on as the vehicle ages. Part of this is due to mfrs telling people that cars can go 10,000 miles or 6 months between oil changes. The latter may be fine, but I would never drive a car 10,000 miles on a single oil change even if it was the best synthetic oil around. Tiny particles of metal can still make their way into the oil even on brand new vehicles as engines wear over time, and this can lead to huge problems later. Changing your oil regularly especially if you drive a lot, is crucial ( I still go with the old 5,000 miles or every 6 months rule, despite Toyota telling me that my car could go 10,000 miles between oil changes... plus newer cars use a thinner oil -- 0W16 or slightly heavier 0W-20). I'd say if the opposite was true say you were using 10W-30 oil or even 5W-30 you could push it a bit more, but not with modern thinner oils I wouldn't. They primarily go to thin oils for fuel economy but the catch is you should really change it more often than what the mfr says, or you WILL wear out your engine faster since the oil is thinner, but you're also going longer on the oil changes, both of which are a bad combination compared to older cars. Of course machining and metalergy has come a long way and they can make metals that are more durable and can run with less or lighter lubrication and improve fuel economy, but at the end of the day, I would still say 5,000 miles or 6 months is a good rule to live by for oil changes, regardless of how little you might drive. You could maybe stretch it to 1 year IF you don't drive it that much, but I wouldn't personally. Oil is cheap, engines (new or rebuilt) are not.

  1273. Go for 15000. Nice test and summary. I use mobil1 and change at 15000. People claim to Mobil 1 for 100K and only change the filter. I never tested that but it makes sense to me.

  1277. Thank you for your interesting and informative video. It's good to know what is the BEST OIL CHANGE INTERVAL, oil isn't CHEAP NOR ENGINES.🤔😉👍😁😂

  1278. I have a dual turbo direct injection engine in a pickup truck, it seems to me to be a pretty dirty engine, the oil looks dirty and the exhaust pipe even looks dirty, Ford recommends 10,000 miles, a technician that goes by the YouTube name of FordBoss recommended 3,000, I trust FordBoss’s opinion and he works on them all the time, but I go 5,000 and hope for the best.
    1
  1279. If your filter would be better your oil will last double or tripple. Try a FRAM Ultra Synthetic or better. At least a PUROLATOR Boss, but change it every 15-16km (10 miles). I can tell you this as I work with Industrial lubricants. Those oil changes are very costly so making oil last to the last minute before machine gear, hydraulics and motor wear are mandatory.
    1
  1280. Thank you! Great quality video! How much are the copper washers in your area? Around here the dealer wants 2$ each, seems overpriced to me.
    1
  1281. Now they are 5.50$ each. Just bought two from the link in the description!
    1
  1282. 3k or sooner if the oil looks dirty
    1
  1283. I don't understand why phosphorus increases at 10,000 miles. It would be depleted overtime as it integrates into the metal, so I'm not sure why it is increasing. I'm still an advocate of increase oil changes to prevent the accumulation of wear particles being suspended in oil. The oil may have sufficient lubrication properties, but that doesn't mean wear rates aren't increasing from contamination from longer drain intervals.

  1284. I have a 2000 c5 and i live in arizona in the summer it gets 110 and you cannot run a front lip on your car it will over heat, but wow that's a very nice c5 conv.

  1285. Believe or not i try to change my oil every 6 months on all my vehicles. I don't drive alot and most of my vehicles don't get more than 1200miles a year. Like you stated oil is cheap engines are not and since my van has a brand new motor my dad and I installed in 2017 its a no brainer. Its the same with my e92 328i, 6 months no matter what.
    1
  1286. Is the suggested chain slack for the 250l in the manual too tight? Calls for 1.0 to 1.4” of slack.
    1
  1287. You'd never make a pilot, where specifications count and lives depend on it. Not every engine is created equal and not every owner drives the same You'd be better off by driving a cheaper car if you're not going to follow the owners manual. And as for knowing why there was specification change, its your video why should I tell you.

  1288. Can you remove the motor covers without removing the engine guard form the engine bolds everytime? For example to get to your radiator to fill it or other maintenance.

  1297. what tint percentage you got on it ?
    1
  1298. In my early years.....I did not change oil before 10k miles....it was black coming out......engine performed poorly towards 70k miles. Later in life I started changing oil between 3 and 5k miles....engines all turned 200k miles and did not use oil. Both Ford F100 , F150 and Honda civics did really well changing oil early. I am a real believer in early oil changes including the filters.
    1
  1299. How many quarts does the BMW tak? BMW usually holds way more oil that regular cars with 5 quarts. More oil, should last longer, right?
    1
  1300. Do you still have that master link on your chain? I was going to put one on my cb500. I didn’t know it’s not recommended on the 500cc + bikes.
    1
  1301. I just can't do it. It was everything I could do to go from 3K oil change to 4k. Don't worry. My wife pushes 10 to 15k. Yet she always wonders why my cars last so much longer.
    1
  1302.  @EndlessMoneyPits  6 to my 3. To be fair. A drunk x'ed out one of hers. (She was not hurt.) I am looking for way to monitor the car without starting the BRAWL.
    1
  1303. Out of the SKY BLUE today she told me she is got the car oil flushed and changed, radiator flushed and changed. Even transmission fluid inspected. Report came back rear brakes need service, and right front axil boot leaking. UNBELIEVBALE.
    1
  1304. I change every 3000 miles on my 05 Escape or 4 times a year. It's my ride and I do how I see fit
    1
  1305. I see a lot of 3k changes. I wonder if that would make a significant difference.
    1
  1306. One factor you failed to show here is time, which is a very important factor because oil deteriorates over time even without use - or, to be more precise, the additives deteriorate and thus the oil becomes worse. So the bad 10k mls sample might simply be due to the oil becoming worse over time and not because the oil change interval mls-wise was too long.
    1
  1307.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I just did :). 2 years is not enough for oil to deteriorate, it's more like 5 years.
    1
  1308.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I did, I am not sure if transfer case oil can be compared to engine oil, the properties are significantly different and the change intervals are much longer.
    1
  1309. Nicely done, you're doing several jobs here ; the basic mechanical stuff & that of a video/editor all in one. It takes some good skills to lay it out in a way people can understand & I think you've done it well. I've not bought a bike yet but this is on my list of possible plus you never know what I come across in the used market >> one of these might be available for a fairly low price & the chain/sprockets will need to be accessed n changed. As you show, that's the time to go on & do the swing arm plus check the wheel bearing on an older used bike. I've not seen drum brakes in a long time but this is that time as well & I'm betting you've at least done a check-up brake video. I'll be digging thru... peace
    1
  1310. I am curious if this can analyze battery and alternator. I know Innova can but I thought this Foxwell has more features.
    1
  1311. that 10k sample probably an outlier. 10k should be fine. your video is very good... but the problem with a lot of these discussions is that people keep saying stuff like 'i always do 3k changes and never had problems blah blah' lol. these people simply don't have the basic reasoning ability. actually if you read the comments in these videos nobody ever said I change at 10k and my engine died because of that lol... 10k is fine, or 15k, whatever the car maker says.
    1
  1312. Now we'll see how much hell it gives me tomorrow. My maxima seems to love fighting.

  1313.  @EndlessMoneyPits  anytime brotha. Good job though. It had me stumped for awhile because I was going to buy a computer, again, but read that it can happen again at anytime with the another computer. Great job with these manufacturers who put a computer in the engine bay so it can bake. Unbelievable. Lol
    1
  1314. Oil analysis is a waste of money. The cost of a test is the same as 5 qts and a filter.
    1
  1315. If your vehicle has a turbo you should change the oil at least every 5,000 miles. For gasoline naturally aspirated engines I think every 7500 miles would be ok. Only use full synthetic oil for best protection.
    1
  1316. Idk. I bet if you did some type of more robust analysis, an engine that got 3k miles changes would outlast an engine that got 5k, 7k etc. I think it comes down to how much you want to inconvenience yourself for engine longevity. I believe your results are steering people the wrong way myself. Just my 2 cents
    1
  1317. I hooked up a makeshift IV setup with a gallon jug of oil in the engine bay. Then I poked a small hole in the oil pan. It constantly drips out dirty oil and refills fresh oil 24/7. Easy.
    1
  1318. Great info, thank you for the video.
    1
  1319. I read recently googling to change your oil every 6 months or 5000 miles because of water from sitting. It seems on these comments 5000 is the ticket. I gotta learn how to change oil asap.
    1
  1320. Most if not all BMWs now use 100% synthetic oil. Oils such as these last much longer than conventional oil. Modern BMW s have a lot of sensors that lest you know when any maintenance is needed . With my 2023 X5MC ,the manual says service every 10k miles but it ends up that the computer tells me about every 8k or so. It is base on diving style and engine use etc

  1335. Should I upgrade my spark plug to colder ones?
    1
  1336. The car makers do care about their engine - as long as it runs below 100,000 km or so. In Germany brand car dealers will export cars with mileage >100,000 km or older than 5 years to eastern europe. They fix anything there to vastly lower labour costs. And it does not effect the brand reputation in Germany.

  1341. You youngsters never even mention if you're using regular or synthetic oil, I would think a big difference.
    1
  1342. I do mine every 6-7,000 miles. Years ago Consumer Reports testing showed this was a good mileage.
    1
  1343.  @EndlessMoneyPits  they tested it using NYC taxi cabs. Huge sample group of different oil change mileage’s. If I remember right their results showed that 7-8,000 miles was about the longest you would want to go between changes. It wasn’t beneficial at all to change oil any sooner than 7-8,000 miles.
    1
  1344. There are many lies on google about oil change and tires that are intended for squeezing you
    1
  1345.  @EndlessMoneyPits  def isn't placebo.
    1
  1346. In Germany the standard is every 2 years or 30k km. I think Americans get scammed for oil changes. When I was living there, it was every 3k miles
    1
  1347. Definitely not a easy process. Easier to pay for the program than doing this mess of a process. Everything free isn’t easy,and everything you need ain’t cheap.
    1
  1348. There is no such thing as too often. I do mine every 1000 miles.
    1
  1349. I wonder if this could allied to all cars or if it's specific to your engine. Great info. Well done experiment.
    1
  1350. If you're a pro-level DIY'er, there's no need to change the oil filter at every single oil change interval. Years ago, I switched over to vacuum extraction for typical oil-change-only service sessions. Once a year or so, the vehicle is up on jack stands for other maintenance and gets a full pan drain and filter change. Changing over to vacuum extraction has certainly made life a butt-ton easier since lifting the vehicle and jack-standing it becomes unnecessary.
    1
  1351. 10000 miles if you often drive long distances with the car aint much with todays oil quality. Driving around the block everyday and not more is another mattter with short driving and often needs more frequent oil changes.Thanks for the video.👍
    1
  1352. Bro, I just got the quad mouny. I have a 2023 zx6r. Shit does not tighten at all in the fork tree. Its so loose!! I keep tightning it trying to get it reasonably tight and it just ended up still pinning in circles. So, I keep tightening it to the point that the metal fasteners that expand end up falling into the bottom of the triple tree everytime ad then the stem mount just slides out the top. Wtf kind of garbage is this? Yes, I am using the appropriate metal fasteners. One set is too small and the other is too big. Wasted over $120 on this shit. - going to JB weild the stem to the triple tree now. Fk it!!!
    1
  1353.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I appreciate the feed back. - Ill try it again... Its as if the metal fasteners arent expanding far enough out when tightening so its still loose amd spins.
    1
  1354. Really good video, but the music is horrible
    1
  1355.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Your right, just lower the volume a bit. You have some awesome skills and go into a lot of detail, a lot of people can learn a lot from your videos.
    1
  1356.  @EndlessMoneyPits  All good, Just some positive criticism, Just watched all the C5 videos. You really do great work and document everything. Any more of those videos coming up, or are you done? Doing a radiator flush, or differential flush would be a cool video
    1
  1357. Obviously your BMW will blow up within 3 years of this video. Your best option is to park it, before its too late or at least drive it with as low RPMs as you can. Lemme guess "Ahh, i dont have this car anymore '

  1358. I changed every 2-3K.

    1
  1364. Every engine is different. Oil changes beyond 5,000 miles is too risky to say a blanket statement that this works for every engine. Some engines even at 2,000 mile oil change intervals is too long.

  1365. what clutch/brake lever are you using?where to buy them?

  1367. How will you know if it’s reset?
    1
  1368.  @EndlessMoneyPits  is it possible it can be anything else? I followed the directions and haven’t seen an improvement. I did just recently get my alternator changed. There was a delay when starting the vehicle. A little hesitation. Then the alternator was changed, and the idol is acting even more funky.
    1
  1369.  @EndlessMoneyPits  OK thank you for your very swift response. My mechanic did tell me that my battery was at 40%. I think I’m just gonna have to go ahead and purchase one to see if it can make a difference.
    1
  1370. Well the way I see it is quality motor oil and a filter is cheap,engines are very expensive. I don’t listen to anyone about these ridiculous 10,000 mile oil changes,that’s the quickest way to sludge up your engine. I have a 18 year old Toyota Camry 2005 altise 3.0 litre v6 that i bought from an elderly couple that bought it new. It has complete service history up until 250,000 kilometres,engine oil was changed every 5000 kilometres- yes every 5000 kilometres which is a little over 3000 miles for you Americans.The engine has 284,000 kilometres on the odometer,it doesn’t use oil or any fluids,oil looks clean and still new when I drop the oil and this is because it has no sludge build up inside the engine. I’ve had the valve covers off this engine to replace the seals and it looks like a new engine inside,no varnishing,no sludge,just clean glimmering metal surfaces. No matter what engine you have in your car-NEVER do 10,000 mile oil changes,it will destroy your engine. Maximum should be 5000 miles,I’d be doing it every 3000 miles.
    1
  1371. I change my oil every time I fill my gas tank, I drive a Tesla Model 3.
    1
  1372. Got any tips for if you don't remember where the screws came from? Asking for a friend lol
    1
  1373. Whatever you do , do NOT trust those oil life indicators-they are totally inaccurate. I ruined my 3.6 L SATURN Aura model engine-the indicator was telling me I was safe at 11,000 mile change indication. My engine wore out the timing chains (all 5 of them), and the dealer wanted $3200 to replace. Had I kept a 5000 mile interval I'd be driving it today.
    1
  1374. The best thing to do is listen to old timers they know everything about changing oil.
    1
  1375. I just bought mine, pick it up Friday
    1
  1376. From the time I got my used 335i (N54) I was religiously changing oil at 5k miles. I finally sent in an oil sample and Blackstone said I had plenty of life (Mobil1 0w-40) and to take it to 7500. The car is custom tuned and I do beat on it a bit. I am very strict with warm up and try to not do any hard acceleration until oil temps are at least above 180F.
    1
  1377. Blackstone isn't a certified laboratory. They leave out the most important item, oxidation. Your wasted your money with them
    1
  1378.  @EndlessMoneyPits  ISO, if they're not a ISO certified lab then there testing is not valid.

  1380. oil and filters are cheap......compared to an engine.....if ya like the car... why not change them? i used to be a 3 month/3K miles guy (old school chevy V8-hot rod-in the 80's before synthetic) now with full synthetic MAX 5K, fluid & filter...but i like the car.
    1
  1381.  @EndlessMoneyPits  depends on how many hours at the track.....might be less than 1K

  1383. What’s an “oil change”🤷🏻
    1
  1384. Oil is cheap, engines are NOT. NEVER go more than 5000 miles.

  1385. i always change mine at 10k km…

  1386. Trying - Sylvania SilverStar Ultra Halogen Headlight Bulbs - that's the brightest ones they make. - seems to make sense to put in some brighter bulbs - - read some reviews, and people say that it's well worth it. - they say they areN't that bright that they will blind the other drivers
    1
  1387. Good info. Short shift your engine (opposite of redlining) and it will last much longer, just common sense.
    1
  1388. I’d love to see you try valvoline restore and protect to see if it helps the oil burning.
    1
  1389. Next oil test. Test oil at 8000km (current change) 15.000 km /20.000 and 30.000 km? All with the same oil. Would be interesting to see when its really time to change
    1
  1390. Thank you for your review!

  1393. Was that the transition visor in the video..it was pretty dark for a rainy day.
    1
  1394. Okay what, every 8000km for an oil change is insane. I thought 15000 km was early damn.
    1
  1395. Stick to fuel economy percentage of yours compared to manufacturer declared. If your fuel economy is 60% to that of mfg then do it at 60% mileage then what is mentioned in the service book. You can still take 20% leverage on that. Manufacturers will assume 80% highway run 20% city, same as to show average fuel economy.
    1
  1396. If you have a direct injected & turbocharged engine like the majority of cars today, then oil change intervals should be much shorter. I wouldn't go over 6k.
    1
  1397. Follow the direction to a T but my ports still won't pop up
    1
  1398. I have the same exact bike and I’m getting a burning smell noticed after riding. I just changed the oil and see no visible signs of any leaks. Any idea on what could be the cause of that issue? Bike only has 5k miles on it
    1
  1399. Why didn't you test the TBN?
    1
  1400. Wow go Castrol Edge. I wonder if the differences between this and LiquiMoly are immaterial.

  1401. I recommend 5 - 7k to my customers. oil is cheap and i have never heard of an engine lock up because it has too many oil changes.

  1402. Those are not real ProTaper grips.
    1
  1403. Oil analysis kits are cheaper at Napa and there is a lab on NW Front Street in Portland if you want to speed up the process.
    1
  1404. Diesel cars benefit from more frequent oil changes, gas cars don’t, go by colour of oil.
    1
  1405. In my case - 10k km OR 1 year (whichever comes first). The viscosity of the oil changes drastically with time. If you don't drive a lot you shouldn't keep the same oil for more than a year. I hope this helps.
    1
  1406. I do oil every 6000 km. Filter 12000.
    1
  1407. May be you can do paper test and compare with lab results?
    1
  1408. If your car or truck burns alot of fuel 13 mpg-20 mpg change it at 4000.If the engine gets 40+ mpg change it at 8000 miles
    1
  1409. Oil is cheap, engines are not
    1
  1410. 3mos/3,000 miles is only to keep you going back to the oil change shops and keep big oil in profit
    1
  1411. Change mine between 5-7k. Cheap insurance. Glad to see results validate. Synthetic can go longer, but truthfully like wrenching whenever I can. On the e46 make sure and change your water pump/coolant tank system early. Better safe than sorry.
    1
  1412. I have owned a lot of vehicles over my lifetime. All the British, European and Japanese models had oil and filter changes recommended by the manufacturers at 10,000 or 12, 000 miles. It was only the American vehicles that had recommended oil and filter changes at 5,000 or 7,500 miles. Even my Chevrolet HHR fell into this low recommendation, despite having a European GM engine which was also fitted to Vauxhall cars with a 10,000 mile recommendation, so why the difference? Could it be that US manufacturers are so wary of litigation that they play safe (excessively)? There has been no sign of engine damage with my Honda Stepwgn which has covered 172,000 miles and still going well. Note that the filter is replaced at every oil change.

  1413. A factor never mentioned in these tests is the sump capacity, I have had cars with 20,000 mile oil change schedules, although that sounds unusual it was great for convenience. I have not done a comparison but of course by carrying more oil the deterioration should be slower. My current car has 15,000 mile oil changes but I intend to change it far more often. With company cars the mentality is very different, we want minimal servicing and we don't care what happens to the engine at 100,000+ miles. My working cars were consumables, but now that phase of my life is over I want to look after my car, I even find myself changing other fluids to enhance the life of components....

  1423. I do every 5k Miles, fully Synthetic Oil, car runs like new with over 100k easy. I would never wait to change oil on a vehicle until 10k you will not have your engine long. The only way I am changing oil at 10k miles if I have a motorcycle. If you go on (Just Rolled In) Channel on Youtube, you have people going 80k 90k Miles without an Oil change they wonder why their engine will not turn over and start, you have a lot of fools with Automobiles that should not have them. Get them a bicycle instead.

  1424. Hi I am a new subscriber, loved the video. Just curious to know at a 10k mile oil change on a bmw. Does the oil level went down? If so how often did u top up the oil? It’s normal to burn a quart of oil every 7k mile now a days on most cars. And if it’s bmw that usually burns more. Just curious to know. Thanks

  1427. Every 10k km oil change, it’s THE law for me. I’m driving n/a petrol cars (Fiat FIRE engine, 1.2 and 1.4) for almost 20 years, 10w40 oil. Just change it regularly, no trouble asked🙏🔝🇮🇹

  1428. When conventional oil contaminants break down, they coat the components with varnish, various deposits and sludge and leave the lubricant thick, extremely hard to pump and with very poor ability to transfer heat. Cold temperatures are on the opposite end of the spectrum and cause the oil to thicken.The longer an oil change is put off, the engine in general will start to show problems. Most commonly, your engine will simply become too hot, which can cause it to run less efficiently. If the heat doesn't cause a gasket to blow, it will warp the parts of your engine.Petroleum-based oils generally require replacement every 3,500 to 7,500 miles, depending on service use. Synthetic oils can easily offer double the service life as their chemical composition does not break down over time.

  1432. The shear point changes with oil as its used/heated. If you arent looking at the wear on the bearing surface you arent learning jack. Even more noticable with a multigrade oil. If you think the w in 5w30 stands for 'weight' then you need learn a bit more about oil. Im serious😂

  1436. The idea of having to change oil every year irrespective of the miles driven is based on the assumption that the reason you drive very few miles is that you drive frequent short trips, or in the city or congested freeway. This is to simplify things because often this assumption is correct. If you drive mostly infrequent uncongested highway or suburban miles longer trips, say 15 miles each trip at least, your oil will be good much longer than one year. Short trips are bad because the moisture from combustion does not have the chance to be completely boiled away. Water accumulates when the oil does not have the chance to get hot enough for long enough. The moisture is not necessarily from the air but as a product of combustion, so humidity is not a factor.

  1437. Question for anybody: The curved side of the crush washer goes on the oil pan and the flat side goes on the bolt, correct
    1
  1438. So you took what is already a worn engine and did oil tests on it then conclude that all engines, even low mileage ones, require the same frequency of oil maintenance? hmm ok. Also, why is it exactly that the ONLY people I see pushing this oil change every 6 months or 5k or less interval are north americans? You'll be very hard pushed to find any European that would consider such frequent oil changes (at least not ones under 40 years old), yet Euro cars are good for 150k miles and more. I think maybe it's about expectations on how long people expect a car to survive. By around 150k miles in most European countries the car is becoming uneconomic to keep (for reasons to do with pretty much anything except the actual engine). So very few people in Europe would ever keep a car this high mileage unless they truly couldn't afford anything else. Once you get to about 100k you'll start to find any car much harder to sell on over here.
    1
  1439. There is no adverse effect on a car engine if the oil is changed too often or early. It might cost more but that's it. What a stupid, click bait title and no, I didn't watch the video.
    1
  1440. For n52 engines, local euro indie shop advised oil changes every 6k KM (~4k miles) to maximize the life of the engine. Not needing to drive to get to work, this works out to an oil change in the spring and end of fall... with lifetime warranty on oil filters from FCP euro and buying your own oil, far cheaper than paying the shop for any kind of internal engine work!

  1445. i go by the oil color. i changed my oil 2+ years ago, but i don't drive much, very little really, and my oil looks nearly new. even when i drove a lot(for me, about 25 miles a day average) i still went by color. heck, look at diesel oil, that stuff is black as chit from nearly day 1, and those engines go for a long time.

  1458. There is no such thing as "changing your motor oil too often"
    1
  1459.  @EndlessMoneyPits  You didnt mention money in your video. Only technical issues. From purely technical perspective all vehicle motors will be better of the more often you change the oil. If nothing more it will give the ease of mind. Should one for exsample change oil every other month it would only costs something like 50$ per month and a few hours of time. We all have wasted that much money on way more useless things.

  1460. My last car burn so much oil in 10 000км. About 3 liter. I doesn't need to change it :D It holds 3.8 liter.

  1461. It is heat that dissolves oils. Redlining isn't the same as driving the car to the track where it's exposed to constant heat.

  1462. Not all oils are created equal . I have been using the gold standard of oils Amsoil now for over 12 years. The oil is guaranteed for 40,000 km or 25,000 miles. I usually change after 15,000 km. A few years ago I sent the used oil to lab and it was still good. I never had any engine issues, it starts in -40c. No blue smoke what’s so ever after 200,000 km

    1
  1484.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Interesting, never really looked into the topic of spark plugs with any real depth. RealOEM specifies BKR6EQUP so I've always just gone with them. Just did a quick skim through E46 Fanatics, there seem to be some mixed views on the BKR6EIX's. Did you go with them purely because that's what was available locally or for any supposed benefits? Keen to hear how you get on with them after putting some mileage on. Regarding the new video format, looks pretty good! Have found a number of your previous videos useful, nice to put a face to them. Good stuff. On the O2 sensors, I get that you've got headers but why not just unplug the sensors instead of just leaving them dangling? Because of the engine light that would trigger? Should be pretty simple to flash an EU2 tune on.
    1
  1485. Cool test. What people should keep in mind, what gives the best test results is not the most optimal. Sure 7.5k is good for the engine, but the rest of the car will fall apart around it. I bought a used e36 which I rebuilt the engine around 300k miles after overheating. The cylinders still had beautiful cross hatching and compression was good. The only thing that “bad” was the classic BMW oil varnish.

    1
  1489. can you use the bmw branded oil recommended for e46 and test it at the point the onboard computer says it is time to do service? When I got my E46 new many years back it was my first bmw and first full synthetic oil car. Since all the tech was new I asked my bmw service representative to confirm for me when I should replace the oil (come in for an oil job). He stated, and I wrote this down, that the oil service can be done when the computer says service is due. This was explained that sensors and drive activity would be calculated by the computer to determine when to change it vs just mileage. I typically went to the 11-14K range up til around 120K miles before reading and deciding to lower that on my own. The same E46 is still in service 22 years later with no oil related problems having occurred, like sludge, wear, etc.

  1498. Like I commented on your other video. If you check TBN you can get a better idea how long to run your oil. My 97 suburban with 200,000 miles was 17,000 mile oil changes with Amsoil Signature.

  1500. Thank you for the detailed video. I have just did the valve adjustment and spark plug change at 30k km, it was a real PITA. The fairings, and the plastic tray under the tank... nightmare. My Kawasakis are a dream to work on compared to this bike

  1501.  @EndlessMoneyPits  exhaust 0.30mm all four valve. Inlet 0.15, 0.15, 0.18, 0.20 So only 1 inlet valve out of spec by 0.01mm I did not pull the cams out, it's fine. 30k kms / 18.5k miles
    1
  1502.  @EndlessMoneyPits  i would personally advise you not to check it. These bikes are not prone to adjustments, its just genuinely not worth the effort, maybe with the next spark plugs change you can check.
    1
  1503. Oil never wears out. The additives do. Moister gets in oil by driving short distances. Once the oil gets to operating temp it boils off. My old work truck sets for years, in the shop. Then runs 4 to 5 k when needed. It's got 290k on it and runs just fine. If that oil was setting on a shelf in your shop, for 3 years, you wouldn't think anything about it. Setting doesn't hurt it at all, just get the car up to operating temp when you do run it, and it'll be fine.
    1
  1504. Awesome awesome awesome! Great stuff once again! Looking forward to the valve adjustment video.

  1508. ​@EndlessMoneyPits wind noise as far as I can tell. Even with ear plugs in. I am tall so I ride with the windscreen off. I have been 3d printing some different deflectors and placing them on the bike to see what helps. I am wondering if it is some kind of buffetting that isn't at a frequency that shakes the helmet but makes noise. The windscreen makes the buffetting really bad and I can't even read road signs at the highway. Maybe it seems loud but isn't if that makes sense, like the sound is coming through my skull amd not my ears.

  1509. I have a pack of the UNI’s but I might just try the CB air intake velocity stack only. It will increase air flow but not so drastically where it might not tune well? Or just one Uni in the highest spot on the cover where it fits cleanly?

  1522.  @DesertDuc  the barcode is the lightest spot on the tyre just like the dot, odds are its best to line that up with the valve as it should require less weight added to the rim to get it correct. The problem there on Supersport bikes is the speeds they do, 9/10 times a wheel isn't perfectly balanced to begin with but it's the best place to start by doing it correctly as you often don't need to add much. For example if I need more than 20grams on a front wheel to get it perfect I'll move the tyre (this is me being fussy) but the front a rider is going to feel a lot more than the back. I've had a lot of customers complaining about vibration after a (professional) has fitted a new tyre and it's been way off. The only reason I commented on this video is tips for those watching it.
    1
  1523.  @EndlessMoneyPits  correct, it's a great learner bike that a lot of riders never need to move on from.. Most vibrations will start within road speed limits but obviously the faster you go the worse they get. I've ridden bikes with the bals in the tyres and I noticed it, manufacturers do what's best (wheel weights and balanced) from my experience it's the best way. But as you say slow riding you might not feel it.
    1
  1524.  @cartertwowheels3358  The dot marks the HEAVY spot, not the light spot. The valve stem hole should be the lightest spot on the wheel, so the heavy spot of the tire goes on the light spot of the wheel. Again, the barcode means nothing. It's an urban myth. Speed is definitely a reason to get an accurate balance, but balanced is balanced whether it takes half an ounce or four ounces. Of course less is preferable but balanced is balanced. If a spin machine zeros out the job is done, slap some gaff tape over the weights and hit the track. No need to overthink it.

  1532. Great video! However, you have to explain to viewers the following which is the most critical 1. This engine is an 'ancient' piece.. Old school engines, especially NA are way more forgiving 2. Turbocharged engines turn oil into carbon flakes in half of that manufacturers terms 3. Where is the most important piece of data from Blackstone? TBN and TAN are way more important than some iron at 300k miles. Those numbers directly indicate the actual wear of the oil. Vs wear of the engine at that point

  1549. You could use your Jeep and a piece of lumber to break the bead. Helps to have a buddy, but just lay the board on the wheel in the correct spot then drive your jeep onto it. Or, get your jeep near-ish to a load bearing surface like a wall stud and use a bottle-jack braced against the jeep wheel to squeeze the tire against the stud. Basically you are making a vice with your Jeep and a wall. You can also use a second motorcycle by using the side stand, or if you have the strength (or a friend) you can use the motorcycle you took the wheel off of. Lots of creative ways to break a bead. Didn't hear you mention to grease the axles (maybe I missed it?), but I do see they're greased from the video. FYI I also grease the threads, it helps prevent wear from repeated use, but be aware if your manual does not specify to do this you must REDUCE the torque spec by about 20% since lubricated threads have less friction to overcome. My Ducati calls for almost 140ft/lbs of torque on the rear axle, which required I get one of those massive 4-foot long torque wrenches, and it always kind of sketches me out when torquing because I apply so much force I compress the suspension when doing it! With greased threads I only set it to 110ftlbs, however, which is slightly more manageable. Good choice on the tires. The Michelin Road series is easily the best sport-touring tire on the market. They have a really soft carcass compared to most so heating the tire prior to install isn't all that necessary, they're quite flexible, especially compared to the Pirellis you took off.

  1550. Hey idk if you'll ever see this, I tried following step by step but when I try to troubleshoot compatibility, I get a completely different screen. It will not let me run it on this laptop and is instead suggesting I get something with Win7... which is hard since Microsoft doesn't support it anymore. Just need some help is all man thank you!

  1553. Been doing it for 40 years still have 2 of my cars a truck and my Toyota bu changing oil every 3 k miles and have no problems my truck has 365k has never broken down i have a dodge 1500 only thing I've ever done was my radiator broke, and my alternator.

  1554. There’s a reason why the rotor and pads were unevenly worn. I highly recommend cleaning and lubing the sliding pins. They should be moving more freely.
    1
  1555. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are not completely draining all the old oil out when your drain plug is on the side of your oil pan and the car is jacked up in front at an angle.

  1559. Use some common sense with oil changes and analysis. Have a 2015 ram 1500 ecodiesel. Ram recommended 12000 mile oil changes. I was doing them at 6000. Has my 6000 mile oil analysed by a lab and they told me I could go up to 10000 miles with no issues. I stayed with the 6000 mile interval and blew it up before the next oil change. Ecodiesel motors are very expensive...and junk.

  1560. What if I have it too tight? It's starting hard as if the battery is weak.
    1
  1561. I change the oil in my car every 3.000 miles. Keep it clean and away from sludge.
    1
  1562. What about condensation in the pan that will collect over time? Can't be good.
    1
  1563.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I think and could be wrong but that water can mix with your oil and cause it to become milky. I believe that is why they say to change your oil at least every 12 months.
    1
  1564.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Agree but I think that's the logic.
    1
  1565. I have just one simple question. Why car manufacturers give us change intervals that are longer than you say they should be? There are two plausible answers: a) their engineers are stupid and b) they want to make you unhappy with their car so that you didn't ever thought of buying another one. I owned Fiesta 1.25 manual, stuck to recommended oil change interval of 20000km, sold it after 160kkm. Nothing bad happened with the engine (the buyer was doing engine diagnostic). My opinion: if you aren't a conspiracy theory beleiver, you should stick to the car maker recommendation. When you buy the car, you exibit trust to its engineers, why then you mistrust their oil change recommendations? It's like don't trust recommendations of your surgeon.

  1575. So why not just remove the airbox door and see if there is a difference? I don't understand the purpose of the little plugs with the filters in them since you already have an air filter before the intake. The water ingestion issue may not be as big of a concern since the air looks to be pulling upwards from the airbox. Look at the design of KTM air boxes and they are typically open along the whole side with the air being drawn in near the top.
    1
  1576. I've always been doing ~10.000km oil changes. I have picked up this range from my dad and stuck with it. Anything drastically past that I don't feel comfortable with, no matter the manufacturer's recommendations. I've even recently seen a video with a Japanese guy named Takumi that was building engines his whole life. He said to just change oil every 3.500km with oil filter changes every other oil change interval. Even though I trust that he knows what he is talking about, it sounds a bit too often for a daily driver I won't keep past it's 15-20th year of age. 10.000km changes seem perfectly balanced to me. If I had a car I wanted to keep until the end of my life - that's a different story then. :)

  1580. I change the oil in my VW Up at 10k km (6.2k miles) and with 150.000km the oil consumption of the engine is still almost zero, just like if it came out of factory. Change your oil frequently, its worhty it :)
    1
  1581. Cars with direct injection need more frequent oil changes .
    1
  1582. Sending off samples is not cost effective ad if your doing it you should consider changing ingredients viscosity where possible in line with spec
    1
  1583. My theory is that the 5k mile oil change actually cleaned out the old "contaminated" oil from 10k, and thats why the next change (7k) had a bit better results.
    1
  1584. I’d rather spend the extra money on changing my oil more often, then spending it on oil analysis. There’s no such thing as changing it too often. fresh oil is always gonna be better for the engine. So why push it?
    1
  1585. Hey, can you please give me the name/spec of that tiny bulb that's also in the front headlight? Mine is out, and i want to get an LED replacement one. Thanks!

  1587. Thank you so much, very useful video!
    1
  1588. That car burns more oil in one oil change interval, than that whole car is worth. And you say that this oil consumption isn't so bad??? I have VW Passat 1.9TDI with almost 650,000km (406,000miles) and it burns around 1litre (0,88qts) every 10,000km (6250miles)
    1
  1589. That model BMW (and many others) specifies the use of a European Formula motor oil such as Mobil 1 ESP Full Synthetic Engine Oil 0W-40, or Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-30 A3/B4. There are also other brands of Euro Formula oil available. I don't see how they can criticize the BMW oil change interval when they don't use the manufacturer specified type of oil. Also, even though the 2000 BMW 328i "specifies" 15K miles for oil changes, the recommended interval is actually based on an internal oil change computer that takes into account the driving habits, so it is usually more often than every 15K miles.

  1602. Not all of us red line our vehicles every day. How would that affect the results?
    1
  1603.  @EndlessMoneyPits  But the whole premise of the stats was a redlined engine and oil. What would the stats look like under normal conditions?
    1
  1604.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Are there any studies that support that? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I find it hard to believe that oil that only sees a max of 2k rpm does not get better results than a constant dose of 8k rpm. I promise I won't bother you any more. LOL
    1
  1605. I have a 2019 118i with 1.6 liter dual-channel turbo and 8-gear robotic gearbox. BWM prescribes 30000 km engine oil interval, which is absolutely insane. I change it after 15 thousand and think about shortening it to 10 thousand. Also don’t forget about the gearbox and differential oil change. BMW says both are “lifelong” and never need to be changed. User forums recommend 80000km interval for first gearbox oil change and 60000 second and later. After seeing the gearbox oil after 80 thousand I almost threw up. It looked like oil tanker sludge. From now on, it’s 60 thousand AT MOST for both gearbox and differential.
    1
  1606. thanks this was really helpful!!

  1607. Were you using the same engine oil for the 10,000 miles drain vs. 5,000 miles drain. The difference in calcium suggests two different engine oils were used.
    1
  1608. @EndlessMoneyPits  it was a pity that the same branded oil had different composition.

  1611. I have a Golf 7 clubsport, the one with the golf R engine in it. I trust the manufacturers interval time to change oil, never had any problems. Here in europe we also not have carbon buildup because this engine has dual injection. I have 100.000 km on it and still no problems. My oil get changed once a year, due to the VW long life program. But my car has a oil quality sensor, if i do a lot of cold starts, i have to go earlyer to the dealership to change oil....

  1612. I change every 3 or 4 oil changes. Never a single problem

  1619. So here's an interesting thing to note: With swimming pool sand filters, the dirtier they get the better they actually filter! (Up to a limit of course) I think in this case the "better" results at 7500miles could well be attributed to the longer use of the filter. Some food for thought.
    1
  1620. I would send in a sample at 3k to see if engine wear is significantly less.
    1
  1621. The real problem with America's comically low engine oil change intervals is poor oil quality. Even though you did try to eliminate as many factors as possible by using a full-synth Castrol and not the mineral/partially-synthetic junk most shops will dump into your poor engine, the results are somewhat of a red herring. You did get a little hint from the lab when they mentioned exposure to heat, because that's what's been spoiling your oil. I admit that BMW, like most manufacturers at the time, recommended 10W30 - not because it's right but because that's what was standard at the time. Try a 10W40 or a good 5W40 (some people have had success with 0W40 but there have been others mentioning higher than acceptable oil burn, probably not that great in such a high mileage engine) and you won't have any problems whatsoever with 10kmi intervals and that's a very conservative number. It's not the 70s or 80s anymore, there is absolutely no case for non-synthetic oil anymore.
    1
  1622. I'm impressed you got 300k out of a BMW and it still looks amazing.
    1
  1623. Synthetic Oil that says 10K I always change at 5K. Toyotas will have stuck piston rings at about 150K miles and you'll burn oil like crazy at higher rpms.
    1
  1624. 20000 mile oil changes are quite normal in Europe, for exactly the same engines. Someone is definitely wrong and I think that it's probably the Americans.

  1625. Is the ATF better than the redline MTL?
    1
  1626. My family has had several Prius models: a 2006, 2009, 2011, 2012 plug in, and a 2016. One thing I have learned about both the Prius 1.5L (which is the same motor as the Yaris) and the 1.8L and the 2.4L Camry my son has is that oil consumption in these models is usually due to the piston oil control rings being stuck with carbon and the piston itself not having sufficient oil circulation holes in the gland that holds the oil control ring. The only way to reliably make the engine last is to change the pistons and the oil control rings. If you can't do so, then the motor should have 5,000 mile oil and filter changes to remove the carbon not seen in the oil analysis. Otherwise the oil control rings eventually freeze in place and score the cross-hatched hone of the cylinder head. If you borescope the 2&3 cylinders with the pistons down, then do the same with the 1&4 cylinders, if you can see a small black oval score mark on the cylinder walls, your motor cannot be rebuilt without a brand new short block. The score mark will continue to get bigger and the motor will use more and more oil over time. If you have no cylinder wear materials in the oil, then it's likely that any scoring has not yet occurred.
    1
  1627. @EndlessMoneyPits  I have also gotten an email recommendation from the certified tribologist on The Motor Oil Geek channel to use either Genuine Toyota Synthetic or try the Valvoline Restore & Protect in the factory-recommended proper viscosity per engine to remove as much piston gland/ring carbon as possible. I have seen one Ford mechanic who clogged up his filter in less than 5000 miles using the Valvoline, but I think that was an isolated case of too much sludge already built up in the motor. The Valvoline should be OK in most cars to do an oil & filter change in 5,000 miles if it's not a break-in cycle on a new motor.

  1628. Nice comprehensive review, thanks 👍 .... top tip though, dont put yer gloves inside your helmet - it degrades the lining of the helmet quicker and makes it mucky too, think about all the crap that can get on your gloves .. dead bugs, fuel, grease, chain lube, dirt n grit etc .. then ya go and wipe it all over the inside of yer lid - not to mention that velcro tearing at the lining too. Seems such a shame considering what you paid for the helmet 😉

  1636. I acquired a '96 ZJ from my grandkids nanny. I wanted her have a brand new laptop better than what she was going to buy herself. She gave me the ZJ and did the paperwork for me. I let her give me the cash she was going to spend on a lesser laptop. I have had the ZJ as a project vehicle for about 7 years now. I use it for trips out in the Mojave desert. I did buy a '23 JLU last year. But I still like the ZJ. But my mods budget may see conflicts between the 2 Jeeps.

  1642. Here where I live everyone thinks that oil changes are necessary every 5000kms for a standard driver here that is 6 months. I am in a country that uses metric system, so 5000km is roughly 3100 miles. It didn't sound right at all. Felt like a gimmick. After seeing your experiments along with couple of others here on YT. I am going to get the oil changes on the cars once every 18 months instead or once every 5000-7000 miles ( 9600-11200 kms).
    1
  1643. I use Mobil-1 High Mileage 0-w20 in my 07 Tundra 5.7 this oil has a 20k guarantee I would never go that long just hit 5000 miles on it while I have done an analysis I did inspect it and at 5000 miles it still looked clean. Engine has 212k on it I had to replace a leaky valve cover gasket last year this allowed me to inspect the engine and it was clean no sludge. This truck has a pretty solid maintenance record and has had routine oil changes its entire life I think 5000 to 8000k is a safe range for oil changes. Toyota recommends 10k changes in newer vehicles with my Camry I changed it between 7500 and 8k. In general with Toyotas if you change your oil every 8k and use a good synthetic your engine will last a long long time. I know many who follow this rule and have engines with 350 to 500k on them.
    1
  1644. Back in the day (70's) a 3000k oil chang was cheap insurance, but then conventional oil was 99 cents a quart or less. Oil was for engine lubrication only, not hydraulics to run variable timing or cylinder management. It would seem frequent oil changes would benefit newer cars even more. My support for more frequent oil changes hasn't waivered, most of my cars have made 200k+, the exception is my 92 Honda Accord 400k and still on the road.

  1651. If oil is changed strictly by mileage I would have changed the oil in my 2018 Toyota Camry twice. It only has about 9,800 miles. I change it about every 6 months. It’s cheaper to pay for an oil change than a new motor.
    1
  1652. You should switch to 5W40, M54 loves 40 weight oil.
    1
  1653.  @EndlessMoneyPits  basically the same for all BMW 6cyls. Helps with oil consumption, somewhat more demanding use and summer temps. Only downside is slightly higher fuel consumption but who cares. Oh and for your engine stick to LL98 or LL01 spec.
    1
  1654. I’m a low mileage person, so I end up doing annual changes. Usually 5-7000 miles. I’d think the long intervals might increase fuel and water in the oil

  1656. Most of these modern grease monkeys don’t drain the sump pan properly & suck out the old oil from the oil filler using a sucking machine . Then they shove any cheap sh💩t oil in the motor . Then when the engine goes pop ,& you lift off the cam cover & the all you can see is thick baked on tar ,blocking all the oil ways . Don’t trust them when they show you empty containers showing a good quality brand name of engine oil . They show them to all the mugs ,that get their cars serviced & oil changed at cowboy dealers .

  1662. I had a 718 Cayman, Porsche recommended 20k mile oil changes, since it was a lease I stuck to their recommendation. Had the oil sent off for analysis just out of interest. Analysis came back with everything ok, nothing excessive whatsoever.
    1
  1663. 1. Thank you and I appreciate your sharing your experience. 2. My driving is probably less than 300 miles a month in retirement except for the visit to a relative about every 4 months. I drive a 2004 Toyota. No oil leaks. Type of driving? To the liquor store or super market. 3. The family has had 3 other units of the same generation of Toyota and each of them lasted more than 250,000 miles because they weren't doing the 10,000 mile oil changes and were not using synthetics. 4. The sales tax/increased registration fees, the additional types of insurance required on a newly acquired and financed car should enter into the consideration of the frequency of the oil changes. If a person goes from long commutes to short hops all of a sudden, the oil analysis done last year or two years ago will, of course, become questionable as a future guide. Just for kicks, I looked up the cost in 2015 of replacing valve seals on a Yaris. Yikes! It would be time to send it to the junk yard. With 300,000 miles and the cost of repairs, what would I do? Exactly what I did years ago in Palm Springs, Ca in the summer when the car gave up the ghost. Caught a ride back to Los Angeles. Donated the car to charity and met the charity tow service the next weekend. I drove my back up car. Make sure you either have a backup car or AAA extended towing.

  1671. I usally change mine around 7 to 8 thousand, but I also go by the colour of the oil, if it's looking dark, I change it, in my Toyota Rav4, the engine oil still looked clean at 8 k miles, so think it also depends on the engine brand, good newer engines are made with harder materials. Stop start driving in town like a cab driver does, will dirty the oil at less miles
    1
  1672. Did you notice any difference between the samples just by looking at it? That would be also a very useful info because mechanics like to think they can say if it needs changing just by looking at it on the dipstick...

  1675. It depends on fuel and oil consumption,after a litre of oil is burnt off (or a quart for the Americans) in a average car you should consider a change.10,000 km or 6000 miles is not very far on a car that does not burn some oil

  1676. I do 3k on my E39 M52TU and E38 M62 and my Mercedes W209 M727. I have zero issues with these vehicles needing any engine repairs or oil leaks. The E39 I’ve owned since new 23yrs ago. In the time it’s needed a water pump and radiator. My wife’s Toyota minivan I do 5k. Shorter oil change intervals are an easy way to have many trouble free ownership miles.

  1677. Great video! However, once I connected the cable (only to computer not to OBDI) then start INPA it shows two black dots 'Battery On' AND 'Ignition On' . Any idea?
    1
  1678.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thank you for your very quick reply! Seems like even though I see both black dots (w/o being connected to car) once I connect I still can communicate with car. I donwloaded all the control module data and was able to clear errors. However, if I go to 'Chassis' then 'DSC' and then 'Activate' I get the error message "Not matching versions, misfunctions possible SGBD Version 6.0, SGBD version 21.0 INPA version 6.0" . Once I click 'OK' I see what I expect which is the DSC bleeding procedures. Anything to worry about or all good? Thank you so much for your help!

  1686. "Two many miles on oio" has almost ZERO real world effect on engine longevity. Oil VOLUME does matter quite a lot. Engines die for thousands of reasons long before oil quality even begins to matter.
    1
  1687. Great video series, please keep it up! The best advice I've followed is, the owner (not a shop) should change the oil every 6 months, even if the mileage requirement hasn't been met.  This is done not because the oil "needs" to be changed, but because it forces the owner to get under the car and inspect components and spot problems that might have unknowingly arisen. This practice has helped me spot many problems over the years that I might have missed with longer drain intervals. Also, I often do a better job than the professional shops... I care more about my car than they do. Cheers!

  1690. 3k-5k to change oil change depend on region. If it's in a hot, humid and dry, oil change more. 20-30% left of durations
    1
  1691. Everyone's talking about their oil change intervals, but not one mention of the type of filter being used. THAT is what makes all the difference in the sustainability of your oil strength, just say'n🤷🏽‍♂️

  1692. Greaattt brooo 🎉❤❤❤❤ its work

  1693. If you repeat something like this, try just getting a sample, don't do it at the oil change as you're changing which batch of oil is in the engine. Not that it should change, but it's a variable you don't have control over. Mix a couple jugs & keep extra oil from the original oil change and add back what you need after taking a sample.
    1
  1694. I think it's better to have a loose cover than that custom fit. We here in Latvia have pretty much your shit rain and snow climate with mold special effects - I leave one bike outside covered, secure it with a strap underneath. Zero issues after all rains and snow, even tho it lets through some water - because it ventilates. Also strap allowed me to laugh about the neighbor who was going around the neighborhood looking for his bike cover after the recent windstorm. Also there are hydrophobic sprays you can purchase, I spray my cover with it after I wash it like once a year. I wash it with a pressure washer right on the bike, because it's impossible to do it otherwise. Then I bring it inside and dry it out with an air dehumidifier. Now I want to keep one of my e46's outside covered, also cannot decide what to get. But your prices are crazy, we here have offers in range 20-80 eur.

  1695. I have a 2001 325i and it went years without an oil change.. just filters. that said, it had a leak and I was replacing half a quart a month so I called it a continuous oil change. It ha 200K miles on it and is still running strong.
    1
  1696. For the cost of the test kit , I may as well just change the oil in my car. My motorcycle and trunk may be worthwhile to do the test. The test is $35.
    1
  1697. Old codger here, going on 50 years, I run 20k to 25k miles on my vehicle oil changes changing only the oil filter every 5000 miles and top off the oil with full synthetic each time. In some cases engines run well over 200k miles with no issues at all. Just to add, running only full synthetic oil and generally a high-grade filter, such as WIX, K&N, Bosch, etc…

  1700. I change the oil on my e90 330i every 13-15k kilometers, so thats about 9000 miles ish??? Always used Mobil 3000 as it has the same spec as the BMW oil, never had an issues with the car and it doesnt even touch the oil.......for now.

  1705. 3 years late to the party but this was extremally helpful thanks so much

  1706. I believe engine oil degrades over time. 15k miles might need longer time to hit by family car then Uber car. You can probably did another 15k mile test on Uber car.

  1707. @EndlessMoneyPits  since we're talking about cars, I actually had a 1985, I think, 633 CSI that I bought from an Indy race car driver named Phil caliva. Fun car. Should have kept it. But I couldn't fit my surfboard in, so I sold it. And I had a 524 TD I think it was. Diesel bmw. Not my favorite but pretty cool.

  1708. Never use mileage as a basis for determining oil changes only way is to know the hours of run time × Duty application!.. .

  1710.  @EndlessMoneyPits  If you ever do get a stuck vanos code 4 to 6 oz of Marvel Mystery Oil seems to really help. I also ride near redline every shift. Oil breaks down with heat, but high revs keep the oil pressure up which helps keeps the bearing centered in the oil film.

  1711. My son has a 2001 Corolla with 234,000 miles. It burns a quart every 1500 miles so he sets a trip meter and lets me know to check it. Recently he had gone 1650 miles without telling me. The oil was barely even touching the stick. I discovered that the Mobil 1 5W30 jug was empty. All I had was 0W20 that my Camry and RAV4 use. It was late and I didn’t want to use the 0W20 unless the Corolla was due for an oil change. I discovered that the oil hadn’t been changed in 37000 miles. Yes that’s 37 thousand miles! I regularly use oil analysis on my vehicles and etc. but have never had a sample analyzed on this car until now! I just have to know! It has used 11 quarts of make up oil in the 37000 miles! Yes it gets plenty of fresh oil but the contaminants are still there!
    1
  1712. If the cost of examination isn’t a burden, I think that letting oil samples testing each time, on the very long run, will tell you the truth about the state of you engine. Than you might figure out what the impact of the weather will do. E.g. the difference of summer-winter might be interesting.

  1718. Oil is cheaper than buying a new engine there is no such thing as changing oil too soon
    1
  1719. Dear Sir, you're using the wrong type of 5W-30 oil in your car. You need European Formula 5W-30 for your BMW, which is 3.5 HTHS minimum. The oil you are using is for Japanese and American made cars, not for European cars. For best results, use Redline High Performance 5W-30 or Amsoil European formula 5W-30, the best oil in the USA 🇺🇸
    1
  1720. I can't see ever going over 5,000 miles between oil changes. But that's just me. I've seen plenty of videos where torn down motors that had 10,000 mi. oil changes, and if nothing else, they're just filthy on the inside.
    1
  1721. It depends on how many miles on the vehicle. My suburban has 216000 miles on it. The oil gets dirty around 4000 miles

  1728. Do you have the files for F series?

  1729. I would do another 12,000 km interval but start with a new filter. If you could make this next test roughly coincide with the seasons when you did your previous interval of same duration, that would be interesting.
    1
  1730. I just do it every 5/6K miles and I ball with that, I’m closing on 200.000k miles and the car still runs great
    1
  1731. Change your oil every 5k and filter every other interval. Easy.
    1
  1732. For me... oil/filter every 3k miles. Almost all local type of driving. I only drive ~10k miles a year, so who freakin' cares! Plus I do it myself for ~$35 a pop.

  1733. having just had an oil test done and then strip and check the rod bearings on my 77k mile s85 i would never trust oil sample tests , no metal found in my oil but rod bearings down to the copper
    1
  1734. Why didn't they give results for the acids that form in the oil that eat your bearings? This is a very critical component of the analysis, and they left it out.
    1
  1735.  @EndlessMoneyPits  - Ah, that makes sense. I didn't know that was an extra charge. Thank you for the response.
    1
  1736. Metric is great, 10,000 km equivalent to 6200 miles Is a good oil change interval. Also if you do a lot of short running, less than 10 km journeys Change your oil more often.
    1
  1737. I change oil every 3 months that’s every 25000 miles. The van has clocked 388000 miles to date.

  1743. I live in the Far East where the outside temp is always in the low to mid 30c. Run a Toyota 2.8lt diesel. Toyota recommends an oil change at 6000 miles or 10K KM. I always change my oil/filter at 5k KM as I think that 10 KM is too long in our heat. The car is now well over 6 years old and still runs like new. If it's the changing at 5k KM who knows but it must help. N/B I always use Full Syn: oil.
    1
  1744. Very interesting. I did the same test on my 2006 Saab 9-3 and got similar results but not the same. For 10,000 miles, the result was identical. For 5000 miles, I had a lot lower metal levels. At 7500 the metals rose substantially. I stayed with 5000 miles and I sold the car with about 200,000. It is now running with the second owner (I had it for 12 years through 2018) and has 290,000 on the original motor and transmission. It seems 5000 was good for that car.

  1752. Many years ago, my Dad and I were visiting with his parents. Dad and Gram were talking in the house, so I went out to find Gramps to see what he was doing. I found him in the garage. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Changing the oil." So I then asked why the oil needed changing and he said, " 'Cause oil's cheap and engines ain't." Gramps was a man of few words but when he spoke, I listened attentively. Just like your comment in the video. lol I was very pleased to see car stands being used to support the weight of the car and not just a jack by itself. Too many people just use a jack, which can fail with devastating results. The word "SQUISH!" comes to mind.
    1
  1753.  @EndlessMoneyPits  They were that and they also were the definition of "practical". Whatever worked was fine with them because that was their bottom line. They had no patience for wannabee things that worked occasionally. Agree that this seems to be slipping away. I tried to send on what I've learned from my parents and grandparents but that is a LOT of info. The good news there is that a lot of this will be rediscovered in time and they will learn more as they go along in life. Yes, those stands in the video looked stout enough to handle much more weight than your BMW and that's some very cheap insurance. I got a set of jack stands for my truck several years ago and kept them after I sold that truck. I just got a 2006 F150 Supercab last week, with the 4.6L engine, 5-spd. automatic, and 4WD. It had 46,600 miles on it when I picked it up and except for a ding on the tailgate and a couple of paint scratches, it looks, runs, and drives like new. I will be using my jack stands with it now and won't have to worry about these heavy duty stands not holding up the weight of the truck.

  1758. I change mine at 10,000 km’s or there about. I once knew a fellow way back with a 1973 Pontic with a 350 ci v8 engine he bought new. He swore oil changes were a scam! He had over 85,000 miles on the original oil except for the occasional top up. It did run beautifully and smoothly. I was amazed. Now mind you tje same guy turned the engine block in a 1977 Grand Marquis with a 400 ci engine into Swiss cheese because he ran it in the summer with straight water in the radiator. First rusting out a few frost plugs and afterword discovering the whole engine was fubar’d!
    1
  1759. I always change my oil at half whatever the manufacturer recommends, so if they say 15K, I change at 7.5K. 20K, I change at 10K (or less). Why? Well, years ago I bought a Land Rover from a dealer that actually had (back in the early 90's) a machine to analyse engine oil. They had checked the oil on literally thousands of vehicles, and found that oil was basically useless at the 6K mark on Diesel engines, and 10K on petrol engines. Also they advised filter changes with every oil change, as the cost is so low it really is a no-brainer. From what I see and hear, things haven't changed too much even today. So the advice is still good. My personal experience? 1999 Focus 2.0 petrol, bought new, oil changed every 7.5K. Sold that car (to my brother in law) in 2015 with 185,000Km, engine in perfect condition, full compression, etc. Fast forward to 2023 and it now has 330,000Km and the engine is still perfect and going strong (it has always had oil and filter changes at 7.5K). Triumph Thruxton 900, bought new in 2007 (carburettor version). Oil and filter changed every 5K/yearly. This now has 70,000Km and, again, is perfect, pulls as it did when new and still has the original clutch plates. I have other cars and bikes, but they were not bought new, so I don't know when maintenance has been done (presumably the manufacturers specs). In both these controlled cases, exhausts are clean from carbon (so I presume valves are also clean), emmisions testing (very strict in Europe) never been an issue, and that steady drip-drip of water from the exhausts (normally seen on new/low mileage vehicles) is still present at start-up.

  1780. change every 10k or 5k and you should be ok, 15k is a little long in my opinion but the manufacturer says i should.

  1797. A lot of lube formulations have been reformulated to bring down calcium detergents levels and these are part replaced with magnesium detergents. This is becuase high lube calcium levels are associated with LSPI (low speed pre-ignition) in more modern turbocharged engines that are geared to run high boost at low engine speeds, alongside lower piston ring tension, all to improve fuel economy. A balance of magnesium detergent to make up for reduced calcium within the re-formulation will help reduce the propensity for LSPI.
    1
  1798. The one very important thing these oil analysis tests cant show is how much sludge you are building up inside your engine. You can't change oil too soon.
    1
  1799. Id like to see results for another 10k oil change after you did the shorter intervals.

  1800. Miles dont matter is engine hours.

  1801. With so many comments on this video I am certain that this has been addressed but I'll say this anyway, the oil you're using is not the oil you should be using. Your car specifies BMW LL-01 specification and while Castrol does sell oils that meet this specification, the Edge 5W-30 'us' that you're using is not one of them. You should look for the Castrol Edge products that state that they're A3/B4 rated and not 'us' after the viscosity grade. To be specific - Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W-30 A3/B4. It's sold at Walmart. The differences between the "us" and "A3/B4" are staggering.

  1811. I've been waiting for a video like this with solid evidence of using the BMW recommended or shorter interval oil changes. THANK YOU! Question: Why do you use a Mann 925/4x instead of a Bosch or K&N filter? Have you tested these other filters and sent the oil away for testing and results and Mann is the best? If you haven't, would you please consider doing that, OR refer me to a link that has those results? Thx! BTW I have a 2004 330Ci Cabriolet 6 speed with the B54B30 engine. Driving it only in summer, it has only 41,600 mi.on it. I was told by my dealer that " my car would tell me (warning info messages) when maintenance was required." However, I"ve never let my favourite car of all time go more than 6,000 mi ( 10,000 km) before getting new oil , filter, and a quick brake, suspension, etc. check underneath. It never uses oil between changes. I absolutely love this car and engine! Thanks again, I'm a subscriber!

  1812. Thank you for making this great guide! I see windows 7 is the best choice. I can get windows 7 pro 32bit, is that okay?
    1
  1813. 3000 miles, no more. An engine never blew up because the oil was too clean.
    1
  1814. hello, thanks for the video. it works with enet cable? thanks my friend!
    1
  1815. 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Use full synthetic. Oil is cheap, engines are not.
    1
  1816. KISS Method...IF you care about your vehicle: Change oil and filter EVERY 3000 MILES especially for turbos. Use the best oil on planet Earth which has no competition: AMSOIL Signature Series oil and AMSOIL filter. That SIMPLE.
    1
  1817. Don't be cheap on oil change. I learned the hard lesson about it. I would recommend oil change at the 5-6k miles interval with full synthetic (maybe 7.5k miles highway only). I had the Toyota 2AZ-FE engine and didn't do a good job on taking care of it with oil change and eventually it burned oil so bad. The burn rate was like 300-500 miles a quart. The problem was that oil sludge clogged up small oil piston return holes and seized up piston rings so oil passed through it and burned. I had a good luck with piston soaked with Berryman B12 and now it burned very little at 220k miles.

  1818. Fixed it today. Hopefully no more water gets inn :)

  1819.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I managed to get the dor off and re-seal it. thought the problem was fixed, but water is still getting in when it rains really hard. I did not have the right sealer so i have to buy that and do it again. but its not to hard thanks to you're video ;)
    1
  1820. Oil is cheap you’re driving your car hard like that. I would do your oil changes every 5000 oil and filter and I probably look at the run mobile one zero40.
    1
  1821. Thanks. Good food for thought. I also have a '98. I like the tire size. I have the same wheels, so the lift will be put on the list.

  1822. Hello, I am riding Cherokee ZJ 5.2 in Korea. I have been struggling for a year because of a problem with my car. Have you ever experienced the same symptoms as me? My symptoms are as below. 1. The engine does not start. (Step on the accelerator, catch it, release it and turn it off.) 2. If the heat is increased to a certain extent, RPM will be maintained 3. If you step on and off the accelerator, the RPM may drop a lot and the engine may turn off. The parts I repaired are as follows. ignition cable, ignition plug, crank angle sensor, air flow sensor, map sensor, oil pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, IAC valve, throttle body gasket, intake air temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, fuel filter, purge valve, battery Help me.. I'm under so much stress. Thank you for reading the long scraps and always be happy!
    1
  1823. Here in New Hampshire, the body rots out long before you have to worry about engine wear due to changing your oil every 7.5k vs 5k miles.
    1
  1824. I'd have taken the samples from the same crankcase of oil so the initial conditions are always the same. Also, I'd be curious to hear your driving habits. Is it 10 miles to work, or lots of road trips. If you do a lot of road trips, I'd opt for a longer interval.

  1828. Amazing how much crud builds up over time
    1
  1829. Nice video BUT one error....you should use "distilled water" to flush radiator (a gallon at Walmart for less then $1). Depending on where you live, tap water has minerals which can be bad for the cooling system.
    1
  1830.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Just to clarify, in your video, when you were topping up the reserve tank. you just poured anti-freeze without measuring and the reserve tank just over-flowed...is my description of video correct? So after over-flow, where did the reserve tank anti-freeze level sit? Was it at the top level mark? Thanks.
    1
  1831. My 03 petrol Golf does 15 miles each way to work and had Mobil 1 in the last service in mid 2021, after 15,000 miles i recently had the oil tested and there was next to zero carbon content & no wear metals detected, so i just replaced the filter. The car has clocked 164,000 miles and runs smooth as silk, the worst I could do is drive short journeys of less than 3 to 4 miles which attract moisture in the oil.
    1
  1832. Okay, so here's the thing. When you buy a Car in the States...they recommend an Oil Change in 5000 Miles according to their Manuals? Buy the same Car in Canada and the Manual most likely says 5000 Kms. So let's do the math, and this applies specifically to Basic Conventional Oil ( aka. Dino). So, both sets of U.S. and Canadian Manual's use the same 5000 figure for the exact same Car. Except that 5000 Kms is around 3000 Miles/ U S. Whereas the 5000 Mile Figure in the U.S. works out to about 7000 Kms in Canada??? I think its fair to say that you could easily go from 12-16 Thousand Kilometers quite safely with a Good Quality Synthetic and a Good Quality Oil Filter. My Oil (Synthetic) is still fairly clean and clear at 12,000 or 13,000 Kilometers...and I usually change it around the 12,000 Kilometer Mark. I've never had an Engine Problem to speak of. A good High Capacity Oil Filter could probably withstand 2 Oil Changes. But I still always put a New Filter in ...whenever I replace the Oil. What I do remember is the amount of $$$$ I wasted changing Oil that was still relatively good and clean at 5000 Kms/ or 3000 Miles. Now I only change my Oil once or twice a year!

  1837. I change my oil every 5000 miles without fail, I do so not just because of wear But because of dirt as well.
    1
  1838. Change your oil at least every 3000 miles if you are planning to keep your vehicle for a long time.

  1839. what abt for small turbo ones like audi a4
    1
  1840. I put about 1500 on my motorcycle this summer. I’m not worried about changing its oil this spring.
    1
  1841. Nice to know! I change oil every other year on my cabriolet, because it's normally drives only 2000 km /year. Have been feeling a bit worried if thats a dessision i might regreat. But after watching this i feel better! 🇸🇪❤

  1843. I'm having this exact problem with my car right now the ECU controls the charging voltage and won't allow me to charge past 13.8 volts and my lithium battery needs 14.4-14.6 is this a universal device I have been looking for something to do this for over a year now and have asked hundreds of people and barely get a response and if I do it's an answer to something I didn't ask so I learn something just not what I need to make my application work do you have a link or phone number for this device

  1849. It is not possible to change engine oil to often , as Castrol say in their advertising " oil is to small a word for it , it is liquid engineering " I change the oil and filter in my transit motorhome every 3000 miles , " maybe I do it to often , but it ticks over like a Swiss watch ,
    1
  1850. I would be freaking out if my engine was losing a quart every 1000 miles.
    1
  1851. Yet to check but age also is reported to play a part. I rarely do the kms in the service timeframe, so tend to leave service intervals until I do the kms. I have a 2010 R36 wagon and have started running the recommended 0w30. Is LL rating really necessary in a fully synthetic? So many questions and I bet YT has all the answers already.
    1
  1852.  @EndlessMoneyPits  ahhh I will check! Thanks
    1
  1853. Plus another thing having spent a lot of time and years where drivers "cruise" at 120 mph and some even more on the Autobahn. A hard life on the oil and that is where Long Life oils came from decades ago with changes at 20K kms.
    1
  1854. What is your normal routine for daily redlining? Do you simply mash the accelerator at least once per day?
    1
  1855. My current oil has been in my engine for over 30kkm (of which only 2k are mine), probably should change it 😅
    1
  1856. General car owner understanding is: Every 5000 - 7500 miles or Every 6 - 9 months; 10,000 miles or 12 months is kind of pushing it even with Mobil 1 Long Lasting Synthetic

  1861. My 96 grand Cherokee has a 5.2 L V8 now I’ve had a problem with that air idle speed sensor are replaced it. It lasted about a year and now it’s doing the same thing. It will all of a sudden without any warning as I take when I take my foot off the accelerator slowing down to stop the engine stall, then I have to keep my foot on the break start when I put it in gear I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep the engine running, which is dangerous so would engine idle sensor have anything to do with that but any suggestions would be helpful thank you
    1
  1862. Some guys on youtube said cams and intake make 10 more horsepower
    1
  1863. I would suggest you to take 1 sample every 1000mi. At the end plot the graph of the wear metal analysis and oil additive package degradation. I would love to see the point at which the graph goes exponential.
    1
  1864. I am willing to waste an extra 2 months early on an oil changes than waste a perfectly good engine in the future because of bad recommendations.
    1
  1865.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I've had two Nissans (Murano and Maxima) with the CVT transmission and no problems....you just don't feel any transmission shifting at all and very smooth....only thing with the Maxima is it sits really low and after driving my 2010 Ford Explorer it seems like I'm on the ground! Be well....

  1866. Really useful results, thanks for performing and sharing.

  1867. Now run Amsoil Signature Series 100% synthetic a chemically manufactured lubricant that doesn't come from ground petroleum. And Amsoil synthetic media oil filters. Accept this time just change the filter out at 3 to 5k miles and have oil tested and see how long you can run it before having to change oil out. You will see what the best oil can do in keeping engine clean and lubricated. That Castrol is garbage and not actually a true synthetic as most full synthetics aren't. A dirty little secret petroleum companies don't want you to know. Also check out the story on Amsoil Founder Al Amatuzio.
    1
  1868.  @EndlessMoneyPits  sure your welcome when I was in highschool back in early 80's my auto shop teacher exposed me to Amsoil. Yeah it's real deal true synthetic.

  1872. Real life scenario: 140000 miles 2005 1.2 Petrol VW Polo used for courier work with CASTROL GTX ULTRACLEAN 10W-40 A3/B4. Most of the driving with frequent starts/stops 20-30mph and occasional 70mph. Up to 5000+ miles the oil is relatively clean and there is no oil consumption. At 5500+ miles the engine is starting to "drink" the oil. I am also using EXTRALUBE ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment at around 20000 miles...
    1
  1873. Good point, my comment was really for petrol engines only! 👍👍
    1
  1874. Thanks for replying. That makes sense about the lifters. I find you need to rev the engine to keep the lifters working. Short journey or filing ends up ticking. I’ve just acquired an old E90 with 155k miles. It burns a bit of oil (1qt every 2k or so) so I suspect the long oil change intervals have taken their toll in its early life. We have a similar service here in the uk operated by Miller Oils, it’s about £45 for the test. I don’t do much mileage but will be sending off a sample each year for analysis.

  1875. I would just leave the blue foam inserts out.. they just restrict the air anyways... Gotta go through the air filter anyways right?

  1876. Too many miles between oil changes its dirty

  1881. You need to actually crush the crush washer. Not just torque it to 28 lbs.

  1882. Try the same tests with Amsoil signature series oil. Amsoil guarantees it for 15,000 miles severe service. It would be interesting to see the difference.
    1
  1883. Love all your videos mate. Very informative and helpful. Thank you for all your hard work.
    1
  1884. Depends on your engine and fuel type. Turbo cars are harder on oil. Direct injection creates carbon which the oil picks up and starts becoming an abrasive. E85 fuel will add water to your oil.
    1
  1885. you guys are eating too often. most people only need to eat once a day. some people should only eat every 3 days. same concept as oil changes.

  1895. There is another side to this. Dirty oil, heating up further under the cam cover, deposits the dirt/carbon suspended in it. That sludge will destroy your engine. It "reduces" as does a sauce in a pan.

  1898. I just came across your YouTube channel a couple weeks ago and I really like it! I'm learning so much on how to do my own maintenance and upgrades (.....saving me a boat load on labor charges, which = $200+ an hour here in Virginia). It blew my mind that you and I own two of the same motorcycles (well, I have the 2015 Cb500F, but basically the same thing as the CBR500... I also have a 2008 Yamaha XT250). I bought a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja Zx6r last winter too, but for the 2-3 weeks, I haven't touched/rode the Ninja because I'm back to loving my CB500F again! Because of you, I get so many comments on how good and clean my CB500F looks! I could never see me selling my CB500F. The blue book value is only around $3000, and there's NO WAY I could sell it for that price! I'd rather keep it as a reliable, back-up bike, rather than having a measly $3000 where it would be very hard to find another bike of this stature and cleaness, for around $3000. With being able to do my own maintenance and mods on the CB500F, my decision was to basically keep my 2023 Zx6r stock (only installs were Woodcraft rearsets, ASV levers, fender eliminator, and engine guards/frame sliders). I do not need to tear apart a brand new $13000 bike and add a bunch of aftermarket parts, which would be much more costly to do, than on my CB500F. Eventually, the goal for the CB500F is to build her as a hobby /"entry level" weekend track bike (but still street rideable and legal). Its gonna be so cool and a money pit 🤣 Thanks again for these CB500 videos mate! You should make a "rear shock adjustment" video or a video with "how to install steel brake lines", replacing the rubber brake lines. That would be awesome 👌. Anyway, I apologize for the crazy long comment/msg, but there's going to be more these long comments coming soon because its just what I do (folks don't have to read it if its too long for them, ....and no need to be mean and bitch about a long comment just to be mean). Ok mate, thanks again for your time.........Oh yeah, one more thing, I wanted to also meantion that your video making format is VERY cool and easy to follow. I like how you show all the tools needed in each video. Little things, like that, where you add in your videos separates you from the rest of the "YouTube herd". Great quality videos! Ok friend, ride safe and be well.

  1904. Great video, thanks, interesting results. And the BMW M50 2.8 is an absolute tank of an engine, my old housemate used to have one, and I kid you not, within 30 seconds of leaving the drive, he was bouncing it off the rev limiter. Winter, summer, it didn't matter, it got thrashed, that thing was still running perfectly at 200k when it was scrapped due to rusting to pieces. On top of that, the engine oil got changed 'whenever he felt like it' which usually meant every 15-20k miles!
    1
  1905. 8-10k miles for an NA car is fine, turbocharging you have to do it at 5k even on synthetic, turbocharging is just hard on the oil
    1
  1906. Excellent video! Great camera angles and lighting! And only 3 minutes. Thank you! Beautiful car also.

  1909. I’ve got a E60 2.5i saloon it’s done 95 thousand miles on the clock I personally change the oil and filter every 4000 miles and this car runs perfectly it’s a 2006 registered I use mannol oil 5w30 fully synthetic and a wick’s filter
    1
  1910. In Austria the same car dealers for the same cars make an oil change every 20.000 km. (12000 miles). That is because an oil change is not necessary bevore and the people in austria like to save their money. Some oils last even longer. Thats no secret information! Just Google the Service intervals in austria or europe in generell!
    1
  1911. Thank bro that was a big help

  1912. i change my oil between 4-5 k but i change my oil filter every other time

  1913. In my house oil change is at 5K, my son BMW at 5K “liqui moly”oil, only my wife Acura 7.5k , always “synthetic Mobil 1 EP” and never FRAM oil filter .
    1
  1914. If you have a vehicle with a direct injection fuel system, you should use a quality synthetic oil and change it often, at least by 3000 to 5000 miles. If you don't you will add to the problem where carbon builds up on the intake valves. By using a quality synthetic and by I also installed an oil vapor catch can. That reduce the tendency of carbon build up. The repair is expensive. Do your own research.
    1
  1915. I recently bought a 2007 boat that was never used 'till I got it, I'm tempted to send a sample of that oil for testing.

  1916. Good video; short and concise (that's the same innit :) ) - and with a very sensible conclusion. Many thanks, mate!
    1
  1917. Thanks. I replaced it with your guide. Saved lots of money. However do I need to still send it to a mechanic for a reset? Or how will I know if it needs one and the mechanic just wants to score money?
    1
  1918.  @EndlessMoneyPits  the light/indicator switch. I'm guessing there is nothing to reset.

  1921.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yeap!
    1
  1922.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Here's a hack for the fuel pump thing - hit the bottom of the fuel tank hard several times with a rubber mallet and it will most likely un-stick the seized fuel pump - you will want to get it replaced ASAP, but at least you will be able to get home.
    1
  1923.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for the update, very interesting
    1
  1924. Wild guess as i cant remember what connects to the tank and what doesnt but...is it possible to raise the tank without removing the main fairings and just the trim panels? Also, do you have issues putting on the fairing with the frame sliders? I know the body work is a touch different on 19 and the above questions may vary slightly but the general jist and idea is the same. I also need a bit of rubber for my left panel to squish between the fairing and the frame slider as they make contact 🤦‍♂️
    1
  1925. I really didn't need to watch this video- this ain't my first oil change- but it's a really good full walkthrough for someone who has never done an oil change before or who is new to these vehicles. I will say, in my unofficial opinion it's OK to overfill these motors on oil by a bit. I wouldn't even worry as long as it's less than a quart extra (though I wouldn't intentionally overfill).
    1
  1926. Less wear after Less Miles/ Kilometers travelled well yeah the engine worked less and did not run as much! NOT Sure if any oil helps that or was it shown that the wear is less even if you use the engine the same time just change the oil more regularly?
    1
  1927. The only thing you get by changing your oil too often is a larger maintenance bill, but too little you get a bill for a new engine. Simple enough.
    1
  1928. I've devolved to 5000 mile changes on all my cars. It's just easier to keep track of than 7500. I can hop in my wives car for a trip to the supermarket and note that it's at 64900 and I know I'm close to a change without pulling out the notebook in the glovebox.

  1937. The comments show how well US oil marketing works in getting people to spend their money. A lot of European cars have 24month or 24,000 mile servicing and are clocking up massive mileage. It won’t do your car any harm changing oil though but why not do it every 1000 miles? It’s 3k or 5k miles because it’s been marketed that way
    1
  1938. Can you do multiple labs? Blackstone makes it seem like oil never needs changing.

  1939.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Like another oil analysis lab, speediagnostix for example.

  1943. Hello bro! I have a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 250,000miles, recently started having problems with it stalling as well as it not starting. The battery gauge goes down when I try and start it with a brand new battery installed. As well as my pressure gauge is running high with a fresh oil change. Would you recommend the crankshaft sensor as well?
    1
  1944.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks bro!! I truly appreciate the advice.
    1
  1945. As I see it short trips over time is different than just time. Is the flashpoint due to unburned fuel?
    1
  1946. Did you ever change the oil again at 10k? Curious what your second result looked like.
    1
  1947. could you show me how to remove the fuel line hose from the tank since video does not show that? I am having the picture but I do not know how to show it to you. Thanks.

  1950. Sintetic oil last longer

  1951. 400 miles? Dang, must’ve been a defect... I have 1600 miles on mine and it still looks brand new. I even had it buried in mud once, at around 800 miles, but I cleaned it really good and lubed it back up right after. But I haven’t heard of anyone yet ruining a chain that fast on these bikes...

  1954. Part of me says change often, but then part of me remembers my dad had a 1998 540 from new until 2021 only doing the factory service intervals and it had no engine or transmission trouble and I have a 2007 mercedes with 194,000 miles and did the same and no issues, so maybe it is bad but who can argue with those results?
    1
  1955. I think the synthetic OIL holds up... But the dirt and carbon breakdown of it is what can cause the sludge to build up. Cleaner is better. 5000 miles or less even 3000 to 4000 I think is better if not a lot of highway driving or severe stop and go. With my F-150 that has turbo I wont go over 3500 now.

  1956. What form of mathematical abortion is 75 hundred? Just use 750 tens then.
    1
  1957.  @EndlessMoneyPits  75 hundred is neither English or mathematical
    1
  1958.  @EndlessMoneyPits  just use the traditional format of 7,500. Seven thousand five hundred Units,tens,hundreds, thousands etc Small to large. In your format how do you state 9,000? 90 hundred? It doesn't work

  1959. It’s not just the mileage to change oil. Honda also says 1 year regardless of miles.

  1963. I change the oil every 5k miles, which seems about right
    1
  1964. Did you say you ran the oil filter twice? Maybe it filtered better the second time.
    1
  1965. you should do the TBN testing to determine how much of the wear package in the oil remains. I work with Blackstone for wear tracking on aircraft and Powerstroke Diesel trucks. The trucks are fitted with bypass oil filters and keep the oil clean enough to run 15000 miles with 50% of the wear package remaining.
    1
  1966. What lab test doesn’t show is how clogged up piston rings can get with extended oil changes
    1
  1967. The ammount of calcium stands there since the oil was new. It is obvious that the first oil is an older recipe, with mainly calcium as detergent. The other two are of a newer recipe (probably an api SN plus or SP specification), with reduced calcium to avoid LSPI and more magnesium to balance the detergent effect. The newer API spec also may explain the slightly thinner viscosity of the second and third oil batch.
    1
  1968. You used the caliper wrong. You should have used just the tip and measured in three or more places. The way you did it, if the washer had any twist the measurement would be larger than reality. Otherwise, good video.
    1
  1969. I always change my oil with 7000 km (close to 4500miles?) Because I don't trust oils that I can buy in my country also i redline almost every day
    1
  1970. I've been replacing oil every 5k for decades. But don't forget time also matters. After 6mo breakdown increases from contaminates even if miles are low.
    1
  1971. What is better (and easily) to install on Win7 or Win11? I ask because i have an old laptop with win7 to run PASOFT
    1
  1972. Is there such a thing as too many oil changes ? Just stick to 5k-6k miles between changes and you won't go wrong
    1
  1973. Unless cost is a motivator (and that doesn't seem so with all $$ spent on oil sampling) I would settle on 7500 miles and do oil/filter at that time. Looks like it takes you about 6 mos. to get 7500 miles so that 2 changes/year. See no benefit to going 10K.

  1974. I have the same rear bar on my 1997 gc Jeep. It’s been a VG bar and towed some heavy trailers 3.5 to 3 tons
    1
  1975.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I don’t go far with the load about 15 kilometres round trip. Here in Australia I was worried about the bar not having a manufacturing plate on it for the towing and ball wait allowances as it is law here that they must be tested and stamped. I have also recovered a few Toyota’s too and they hate being recovered by a Jeep here in Australia 🇦🇺 because we have a love affair with Toyota here. Believe me they have not turned out to be any better than a good Jeep. The Toyota made its name here in Australia because of its availability of factory replacement spare parts and the number of dealerships that sprung up in the country. The V8 79 series Toyota’s here in Australia are being modified to touring machines they have the old heavy leaf springs set up removed and a Jeep suspension system fitted (Coils) and control arms. They add 300 mm to the chassis and spend BIG money on them to make them better. The American Jeeps not fiat rubbish are simply built and easily worked on. I just wish we got these ZJ with the V8 engines. I would like to build one but the lower water pump out let gets in the way of the steering box.

  1987. I feel like beating your car is less of an issue and its more or beating your car before the oil can do its job. I still do my oil every 3k and run a slighter thicker oil for high heat because GDI engine despite running a CC. I drive HARD but keep it below 3k and try not to get into boost for the first 15-20 minutes of any drive. Gonna have my valves checked when i hit 50k miles to see if they need to be walnut blasted but other than that ive done nothing but oil so far lol
    1
  1988. Been changing Full Synthetic oil every 25K miles for over 35 years and have never had an oil related failure or an engine with excessive oil consumption defined as more than 1 qt/5K mi. running engines to 300K - 350K miles. The military changes oil based on oil analysis only, even in aircraft. My estimate is I have saved an easy $20K over what I would have had to pay if I had followed the manufacturers oil change specifications.

  1989. I agree with doing the oil filter every other time.

  1997. The biggest mistake you have done is tell them the mileage of the car and should send them as blind study.They can corelate the oil by engine miles.This made this test not reliable.sadly
    1
  1998. I can't believe the youtube algorithm recommended your channel now. I've been wondering about this same situation for years. 2 years too late, but thanks for the video.
    1
  1999. Your experiment is flawed going by what you have presented. After you drain the oil, you still have approximately 500ml of oil retained in the engine ( bmw specs for engine rebuild oil required would provide that oil capacity). Your engine retained oil that was 10k miles which mixed with new oil, the next change mixed 5k miles oil with new oil, the 7500mile oil change was better than the 5000mile oil change sample due to the contamination of previous old oil having different levels of wear metals. What you need to do to perform the experiment without bias is to perform 5 oil and filter changes with less than 20 miles between each change to dilute retained old oil down to a tiny percentage. Then perform your testing going upwards in distance while performing 5 oil & filter changes inbetween. Its a costly experiment but unbiased by cross contamination of high mileage oil.

  2000. I now have heat again. That worked great. Now, I still think I have a coolant leak and it could be entering the water pump and/or thermostat. Thermostat is relatively new compared to the miles driven since replaced. Where this coolant is leaking is any guess. I have seen some on the ground, but from up top checking hoses and looking everywhere in the engine I see nothing. I haven't had it up on a lift though. Any suggestions?
    1
  2001.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thank you! I will try to check everywhere I can.

  2005. If you're using Castrol rather than BMW oil. You should get Euro formula version of Castrol. The American version of Castrol isn't actually fully synthetic! Google it yourself and get educated on it. American definition of Synthetic isn't the same as actually Synthetic

  2007. I tried this on at Cycle Gear. Felt like my ears were going to be ripped off. But it felt fine once the helmet was on. I bought it online waiting for it to come in. Hopefully it breaks in. How does it fit now that is broken in even more?
    1
  2008.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I forgot it’s just announced for Europe so far but I’m sure it will be new redesign for 2024 everywhere else too. Nothing too major but new tft looks nice. Ya I know power wise it will be almost the same , but I’m not really looking for more power , I just want good gas mileage and I think the extra weight of the 500r would be better than the Duke on the highway and a little more sporty riding position. I know it’s not a super sport riding position but my Duke is like a scooter. My back is straight up and down 😂

  2019. Heat kills(degrades) everything, wether it be "excessive" heat in oil, coolant, bearings, lubricants of bearings, anything. Everything that was "engineered" to operate in an engine, was "engineered" with specific "tolerances" in order to operate "optimally"; when these tolerances are "exceeded", normally by excessive temperatures, those temperatures start to "break down" lubricants, which causes temperatures to rise in moving parts, which causes "friction", which causes heat of those moving parts, which increases the temp of the lubricant,... Its an "engineered" operation where everything needs to function and operate within they're "designed" perameters, and when they dont, you have problems; so yes, proper maintenance and "preventative" maintenance is mandatory for the longevity of the engine as a whole. Hope that helps.
    1
  2020. With today's engines either Turbo or Direct Injection engines Id stick with 5,000mi
    1
  2021. Nice video! So interesting, maybe change the oil more often, made the oil clean a bit, and now the oil circuit is out of that junk that had before, and now changing it in normal interval it's good again, but it's good do this more often changes of oil, to clean it a bit.

  2024. Hi, as a old school mechanic that went to school for auto mechanics a very long time ago, first, they did not have full synthetic oil back then, only conventional oil. I always have used Valvoline conventional personally until recently, and Valvoline full synthetic is great also. Some non domestic vehicles may require a different brand? I currently use Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic that is made from natural gas instead of crude oil. MY MAIN POINT OF ADVICE AFTER RAMBLING ON THOUGH IS I RECOMMEND CHANGING YOUR OIL IN ANY VEHICLE UNDER ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS AT 4500 TO 5000 MILES FOR SYNTHETIC OIL, AND 3000 FOR CONVENTIONAL OIL RELIGIOUSLY! AND I ALWAYS INSTALL A NEW FILTER ALSO EVERYTIME! THAT IS JUST MY OPINION THOUGH! As far as oil brands go most are good, that's up to you. On the filters, I highly recommend a good filter, I personally use the Puralator Boss for synthetic oil which are not cheap! Don't use a cheap oil filter people, and make sure the old black rubber seal doesn't stick to your engine and accidentally cause them to double up because your new oil will leak out in seconds and possibly cause engine damage, always take a peek under the vehicle to make sure there is 0 leaks if you change your own oil with the engine running. My main point is don't scrimp on money and using worn oil to save, because your engine will be happier and have alot better chance of lasting longer than taking CHANCES! Thanks for reading my rambling.

  2025. I drive 60 miles a day. Ive been using castrol edge 5 30 in my 3rz powered 2001 tacoma. I change it every 3 or 3.5k. I have to lay into it as i drive up about 2000ft in elevation to get to the top of the mtn where i work. At 300k im curious what an analysis would say but at the same time id almost rather not know bc i trip about the truck all the time. If i hear ANY odd noise i tear the truck apart replacing bearings and bushings and etc....i think its a mental disorder

  2037. I drive a Mercedes Bluetec (diesel) and change the oil every 5000 miles, as I do 70% of my driving in city stop/start mode. Very cheap maintenence with an oil change, compared to having any problem fixed with this engine. No problems at all in twelve years of driving, and am now pushing 100K miles.
    1
  2038. If you’re not looking at TBN and TAN numbers on your used oil, you really don’t know what it’s condition is for longer change intervals. I run my oils 10,000 to 12,000 miles but never more than 1 year. I’ve done that on 3 cars (Ford Focus, Toyota Celica GTS and a Acura TL all purchased with 60-90,000 miles on the odometer) to 200,000 miles in a 15 year time period.

    1
  2042. a consensus has been in the industry for a long time now. 3,000 miles has always been the standard. ever since synthetic oil has come out people have been pushing the limits. it's probably the reason why engine failures have increased in the last 10 years, even tho the technology should've gotten better
    1
  2043.  @EndlessMoneyPits  technology has gotten better but engines failures have not. No knock on your parade, just saying what I see. Anyways, take care man and thanks for the upload

  2044. Great video. Is there any parameter that indicates the ability of the oil to lubricate?
    1
  2045. 5k-7k... i look at the color and notice changes in MPG .
    1
  2046. I think you have misunderstood the miles with kilometers. bmw recommends to change oil every 15.000 kilometers and not miles. after all it’s a European car and here at Europe we count with kilometers and not with miles
    1
  2047. Is this a repost?
    1
  2048. It's do what type of driver you are, factory add to that on consideration. It's already applied. Due to how your Grandmother or Indy 500 or F1 son drives. Factory will always support if your below or above 1000miles of service maintenance. But just remember this it's only til you reach 100,000 it there study. After that they don't care! Engine start in a different stage, so be little on caring side when in very high mileage. Like your car, but Volvo🌹is my favorite ride. Safety is not my concern or strategy😁
    1
  2049. It's worse than just, engines are expensive. A bad engine usually means buying an entire vehicle.

  2050. Just watch again and try to pay attention
    1
  2051. I think sending in oils after time frames would be interesting. So like one at 5k miles after 6 months, 5k at 9 months, and 5k at 12 months. Many people say you should be doing oil changes every 6 months or every 5-7k miles so see if time has any affect on it would be cool too.
    1
  2052. excellent tutorial. maybe slightly above average weekend mechanic here that only works on my 330i zhp myself if i feel confident i can complete the repair without too much issue. only have basic tools. followed this step by step and was finished in 2 hours. i did not remove the fan but still got it done. def could have used the space that removal wouldve provicded but it isnt necessary. had a big issue with the tank not coming straight out - it didnt want to come off the mount it sits on and the mount did not want to release. really took a bit more strength than i was comfortable applying, feeling like i was being a bit rough. tank came out but the mount stayed in. new tank pushed onto the seated mount without issue. thanks so much, subscribed.

  2053. My personal experience of BMW piles of junk is not worth the oil price.

  2054. I have a question. I have a 2000 BMW 323i sport wagon. I’m doing this exact job on my car and following your instructions to every little detail. I can’t get the fan to come out. It’s loose, but there’s a bolt that’s attached to the water pump I believe? How does that come out, and did I miss you taking yours out?
    1
  2055. Thank you…. I need to find those specialty tools to get that out of there. Apparently this YouTube doesn’t let you send pics in comments.

  2057. I had a 1980 BMW 320I. I changed the oil every 24000 miles. I used Amsoil. I sold the car with 170000 miles and the motor was still like new.

  2064. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits I can't wait to see that video! Did you end up sending in a 2nd 10k sample again?
    1
  2065. @EndlessMoneyPits  I was going to suggest that also. That's what I plan on doing. Sucking out a tiny amount at different intervals to establish a true service interval. I was a bmw master tech and use an oil extractor too. I was suspicious that your first results might have been compromised by that method as you later speculated. I'm interested because I am probably guilty of over servicing. But I hate wasting both oil and money! If I can find an accurate sweet spot for both oil and filter intervals. I'll be a happy man for not guessing! The biggest struggle I'm having is finding the best option for testing in Australia. There are places but none have moved to the general public like Blackstone in America.
    1
  2066. The 10k sample seems unusually out of spec compared to 7500. I would do 7500 for that motor considering redline use.
    1
  2067.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I use Castrol now for the SP rating only bc it’s a turbo motor. But I would usually use Redline an SN oil for an NA motor. Amsoil is also good but too hard to get and expensive.

  2075. Always change my oil 5000 km. S52 engines need good quality oil. Additives of oil tear down about 6000, 8000 km. Also rebuild engine cost more....Maybe I love the oil change ceremony too

  2076.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yes. ... I have my car for 14 years too.

  2079. In the EU and U.K. many car manufacturers started to extend oil change intervals around a decade or more ago, for several reasons, better engine manufacturing closer tolerance, and fully synthetic oil made a big difference, but a big factor was to appeal to car fleet buyers, the longer the gap between oil servicing the cheaper to run the company fleet, and less time of the road losing business, from memory some VW cars went to 20k miles, others used built In service intervals based on the car use, usually longer when used, rather than the more harmful short runs, when water vapour not burned away.

  2080. The anti-foaming agent will vaporize out first. When you see little bubbles on the dipstick, it's time to change the oil. Foamy oil lubricates very poorly. 4500-5K miles, no more.
    1
  2081.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I use Mobil 1 high mileage. It shows foam in my truck at about 4500 miles, every time. I have used this method for 4-5 decades. Look at the oil in the pan when you drain the oil. You'll see collections of foam here and there. It could vary some based on engine configuration and perhaps a windage tray. But if you are certain you've never seen any, (hard to believe because the oil you used is nothing special either), then keep doing whatever you are doing because it's magic.
    1
  2082. The one question that is to expect. How do u drive? Start: 1. Start engine and drive 2. Start engine, 30 secs and drive 3. Start engine, wait until 20°C and drive Moving on: 1. Slowly 2. 1/3 of max rpm until wanted speed 3. high acceleration Speed holding: 1. minimum gasinput like a tempomat 2. a little bit more than needed (usually mode for people) 3. aggressive driver High speed part: 1. city driver 2. mostly city 3. mixed 4. highway "only"

  2086. Thank u for this. I think 7-8k is perfect for oil change

  2087. I think you need to be worried about your tires instead of the oil. So typical people going on and on about oil while neglecting what they really need to worry about

  2089. 3,000 miles is the best. Not much of an argument. Especially when cars cost as much as a house. Filter and oil is cheap.

  2090. Since there is NO Consensus on when to change oil (and lots of strong opinions), I change my oil when the dashboard indicator tells me to change it.

  2091. I tested oil for the Army for 10 years, your lab has a lot of things wrong. Frist the elements you need to check fe,al,ti,ni,ag,mg,na,si,sn,mo,z,pb,cu,cr, b,ba, in ppm, viscosity range 195 to 300 cps. If not you wearing major components

  2094. Some of the more unusual results could be from quality control from oil manufacture ?
    1
  2095.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I think you'd have to have oil sampled before and after use. Good research you've done though, fair play to you. 👍
    1
  2096. 6 months. I drive short 5 min trips mostly. Barely get 10k miles a year
    1
  2097.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Well, you have more faith in those lab results than I do. I've seen lab results be wrong too many times in my life. I'd rather know for sure and just change the oil. Good luck with that.

  2101. Its very easy to tell if the oil gets burned through seals or rings....if exhaust smokes after long idle its seals ...if it smokes after long downhill in gear, using the engine for braking, its rings

  2102. Oil and oil changes are cheap insurance and shouldn't be a factor in owning a car!!!
    1
  2103. Again Castrol edge is a base group III oil. It's a mineral very improved, anyway you should use a very great filter up for 20 microns since there will be a lot of products of combustion from this oil. Try Chevron or Shell synthetics, or at least Lukoil ones. Those with PAO+ESTER. Or Pao+PAG or the three of them. In comparison from last video ¿Did you changed your filter on the long interval draining oil in between that 22.5 months?
    1
  2104. I got my 2022 F-150 3.3 with 23 miles on it. 1st oil change at 2417 miles. It has 41000 now. I change it at 4000-5100 miles. Never exceeded 5400 miles between changes so far.

  2107. Fascinating vid, thanks. I change every 5,000 mi regardless, convinced all my life that 10k is too long. I had a GM 1.9 L diesel which did 220k on 5k changes. Vauxhall said you could go 20k between changes which was not common sense but to impress the fleet market with perceived low service costs. I think once you get to 7.5k, particulates rise, and detergents drop off, so you are not looking after you piston walls and bearing keyways. Did the lab tell you about acid content? This always builds after time due to combustion products getting past the rings, and with small amounts of water (eg short runs cold engine) present will slowly dissolve metal. I wonder if this is where the calcium came from. Perhaps it leeched out of some of the alloy in the presence of rising acid. I'm not a metallurgist, so happy to be corrected!
    1
  2108. WOW. That is scary. I hope it did not damage the engine.
    1
  2109. If I understand correctly, have you always used Castrol Edge SAE5W30 oil in your car???? I started using Castrol Edge 5w30 LL in a diesel engine and it improved the cold lubrication in the hydraulic tappets, they no longer make any noise and the engine sounds very smooth.

  2110. I always do my oil change program when my car tells me to 😅
    1
  2111. Thank you so much

  2112. Calcium increase is possible with small water coolant intrusion especially if a water system sealant was used.. also with high rpm comes lower torque wear on the engine. Keep an eye on pcv valve, and keep a good filter in place.

  2115. You want your engine to last way longer, change the oil more often, I have a BMW 335 N54 and have had it for forteen years and never a problem change the oil every six months wether 1000KM's or 5000 km's

  2125. Routine sampling is wonderful. Added value, peace of mind, and a headsup. Actually it pretty cheap insurance. Same my 2016 5.0 at 75k on the truck, 8500 miles on mobile 1 synthetic, and a Motorcraft filter. Results were freaking beautiful, especially since I have lab experience. Thanks for the video!

  2142. bmw e46 takes 7.5ltr engine oil and could go longer before changing compared to other cars. changing the oil filter half way is helpful, love the placement of filter under hood and not car you could just change filter without changing or dropping oil. all cars should have filters under the hood.

  2144. I drive a Jeep diesel and i replace my oil and filter every 2500 klm the vehicle is eight years old now with 75880 klm in total and it still drives like new ,oil is cheap compared to a new engine so my theory is service service service and when you think you have serviced it enough service it again. I have been a mechanic for 46 years i have always serviced my cars this way and all the cars i have owned are still driving on the road today

  2145. Purchased new my 2004 1500 silverado 5.3 gas engine currently has 422.000+ original miles. Oil and filter every 5500 to 6000 miles. Runs perfect using a little less then half a guart between changes now. Trany the same miles serviced approximately every 60.000 miles. Construction work vehicle I put 18.300 miles on it in 2022. No truck payment since 2007. All maintenance by me.

  2150. I change mine every 3,500 miles not full synthetic either. My engine is very clean

  2151. Yea no way in hell I’d go that long on oil. I generally change mine around 2,500 miles as it’s getting dirty. Without some serious filtration such as an oil centrifuge it’s nuts to run oil any longer. Sure that dirt is very small but it is still abrasive! Granted on larger engines that hold 100s of gallons of oil running centrifuges and testing oil is well worth it on a typical car that holds a gallon or two of oil it would be nuts. Not only would it make zero financial sense, but trust me the maintenance on those things is a nasty, messy, horrible job that you just don’t want to do! I have them on the larger diesels at work and there it makes sense due to the almost 300 gallon oil capacity.
    1
  2152. Engines are still mechanical machines that rely on clean oil to keep them operating properly. You cannot over change the oil except that costs more to do so. However, failing to, Most engines will set you back from 5 to 10k for the simple daily drivers to the price of an Accord for higher end sports cars and exotics. Be aware, Oiling systems are a hydraulic system much more complex in modern engines with variable lift , phasing, and other tricky hydraulic systems used to manipulate the mechanical means of improving power and mileage while keeping emissions low. Further, the addition of Direct Injection adds to the need for clean oil. If you own a gas or diesel car, the best insurance for longevity is keep the oil clean. pay a little more now or pay a hefty bill later. 5 to 7 is ok but if most driving is short trips, drop another 1000 miles lower.

  2163. It seems that changing your oil at 5K is cheaper than paying for Blackstone testing each time. We own 2 cars, a truck, a van, a boat, and 3 motorcycles. Blackstone would make a killing on me.

  2167. I have a 2001 330ci and the handbook says it should be serviced every 6500 miles, I usually change the oil between 5k miles and 6k miles. 15k seems nuts. It's a UK car

  2169.  @EndlessMoneyPits  SOLVED. I followed the complete instructions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGpAXDaS9TI and not only was the E70 available but I was able to monitor the real time air conditioning temperature readings (Analog) that I needed. It takes a few hours to download the sp-datem, however once downloaded I only had to install the Base and E70 datems for my purposes.

  2170. Funny as different areas have different habits. In Europe we tend to change oil every 30k km (18k miles) and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I feel like people in the US freak out about oil change and do it way too often. It used to be necessary, but now synthetic oil performance went a long way and lasts a lot longer.

  2171. What size o rings do I need to buy ? Thanks
    1
  2172. When I bought my new 2021 Mazda CX-5 CE Turbo w/ AWD, I changed the oil at 800 miles, and then 2,000 miles. Next, I'll change my oil at 4,000 miles on the odometer, and then after that, I'll change the oil every 4,000 miles. I only have 3300 miles on the CX-5, so I'm averaging only 1100 miles a year. I might change the oil sooner than 4,000 miles, so that I'm not changing the oil only once every 3-4 years.

  2173. 01 DGC EX with over 331K miles. Used Convential Pennzoil 5W-30 up until 171K miles with 3K miles OCI. Switched to Pennzoil Fully Synetic 5W-30 with 10K OCI. Had the oil tested at 5K, 8K and 10K miles and oil was still good. She burns about a qt. every 3K miles. (Was burning this same amount when doing 3K OCI) No issues at all and the engine is clean inside. (Just did a complete valve job a few months ago)

  2176.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I can see that it is like a big harness for both signals now. I didn't look closely enough at the turn signal on the driver side to see that they were still plugged in. My shroud on the passenger side of the car is totally loose and flopping around in the cone, its not moving a whole lot, but when you look at the front of the car closely you see it and it bugs me so I have to get that fixed. I am not all that handy with cars but thanks to videos like this I am willing to do the simpler things. Thanks for posting this actually is a teriffic video that I will follow to fix my passenger side shroud, I will probably take both of them out and clean them up while I have it apart. Thanks for the response too!! Greatly appreciated!

  2177. On my Alfa Romeo 156 i only use filters from mann filter and do oil and filters every 10000kms,from there there is a steady rise on fuel consumption that at 15000kms already has eaten the price of oil and filters so better Change before and keep the engine healthier.at 400000kms still pulls like new and fuel consumption is better than advertised by manufacter.and oil quality has a significant impact too,i only use millers oil, British brand that makes a stunning product

  2186. Seems like there is one obvious missing in all these tests: Soot; and that's what makes your oil black. Increased soot reduces dispersants and makes it easier for carbon to build up on your piston rings. The soot is too fine to be blocked by your oil filter. Everyone is looking at strictly elemental measurements in their oil analysis but nobody seems to be paying attention to the soot and its effects on your piston rings, particularly the oil scraper rings whose holes will get clogged more quickly if you don't change your oil more frequently. I am rebuilding a 96 Mustang Cobra 4.6V motor that had 70K miles on it. I raced it, and even overheated it a couple times on the track. But I used Mobil 1 synthetic and changed the oil every 5K miles religiously. When I cracked open the engine, it was crystal clear with virtually no bearing wear, and the piston rings, including the oil scraper ring, look virtually new with zero carbon buildup. On the other hand, my XC90 with 10K oil changed intervals and 60K miles has clogged oil rings and is burning oil as a result--about 1 QT per 1400 miles. Had I NOT listened to the manufacturer's recommendations, I'd probably not be having oil burn issues.

  2190. I do car oil changes at 10k km and motorbike at 6k km. Seems good

  2191. I always change my oil and filter myself using a good quality oil at 5000 miles or every 12 months whichever comes first , I just don’t trust garages when they say they only use quality oil , oil is very important to the smooth running of your engine and corners should not be cut.... 👍

  2193. Try the 4th sample at 15000 miles. Let's see if what the manufacturer say's is right or wrong. If 7500 miles perform better than 5100 miles, this might mean that 15000 miles perform better than 10000 miles or even 7100 miles. But you never know until you try. Best of luck.

  2194.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thank you so much for your time to help me! I look on net 2 days Manuel benzina/diesel transm oil, yes everyone put a D4 in benzina but other they say to follow spec on gearbox and that is MTF LT 2, 3 is the BMW spec for a diesel gearbox, I put a Swag 75w80 (1.6 litar) and in diferen. 75w90 Swag (Germany) in your research is true for Red Line D4 in Europ Forum also stay on D4, but other ppl with diesel strictly in bmw E46 2.0 d, 3.o d follow spec on gearbox and that's it MTL L2 or L3. Thank you for your time and help, be good and safe drive bro!

  2197. Very interesting l live in Australia and l own a 1997 Toyota Hilux with the the 22R motor and l change oil at 10000kms l chaged the oil and filter a while ago and because l am retired and we have another car and they both get used and the car was new in 2021 and we struggle to do 10000kms in a year same goes for my Hilux l do try and use it every day as with the car my Hilux has 431000kms on it the engine is not burning oil and when l bought 4 years ago l got no service records at all nothing but since owning l keeping every piece if paoer work receipts from our local soare parts shop and have a list what l have done to the Hilux as when l can't drive any more l will probably pass it onto our daughter and there will be paper work

  2198. Long drain intervals of about 30- 40000 Km seem to be more common in Europe. And i am not scared of it as long as i have a simple non turbo engine. My 5 cyl. Volvo has the oil in it for 82000 Km now, and i might change the oil soon now.

  2199. I don't mind changing my synthetic oil at 3-5,000 miles, I save it for my old truck, my lawn mower and blend what's left into my diesel tractor for fuel.

  2202. Gd editing too g

  2203. You can also test changing the oil filter at half the mileage. Note as the filters get old they clog and go into bypass so they can actually stop filtering. It could possibly be a filter issue instead of the oil at 10,000 mile Mark. Just a thought. Thanks.

  2207. I own a Kawasaki KLR 650, which has a “thumper” single piston engine. An engine and motorcycle famous for how easy it is to work on. There are also many aftermarket “gadgets” that purport to “enhance” the bike and its motor. I’ve done none of this and enjoyed the bike for decades. I simply change the oil in a manner that supports the Arab economy. It’s cheaper in the long run.

  2208. In NCS Expert it shows me the error Chassis is faulty. Can someone help me?
    1
  2209. I change my oil every 3500 so my worries are not on my internal side but maintain the external of the engine, if you think that’s extreme then just change the oil filter after the 3500 and oil on 5000 miles
    1
  2210. I will never go 10,000 again

  2211. They need to test all of the oil not just the sample.

  2219. Gunked oil rings are one of the main results of insufficient oil changes. Can you correlate any of the test parameters with real-world ring contamination? If not, I'd say that oil tests really aren't sufficient for your purpose.

  2222.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Better than GTX?
    1
  2223. Thanks for the great videos! I'm just curious if you've dropped the bike on the shifter side since installing the aftermarket one. My understanding is that the OEM shifter is designed to bend whereas the aftermarket ones tend to break. I have a bent shift lever that I'll be unbending later today but I'm also considering replacing it with an aftermarket one.
    1
  2224. The higher calcium, phosphorus, and zinc of the 10k sample makes me think that the oil chemistry changed after that oil was purchased.
    1
  2225. Wow, the eternal discussion. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong. Everyone makes their own decisions and pays their own bill. Our world is based on "balance". What would a reasonable person do? Who knows? Good luck out there.

  2226. Ambient temperatures for samples? I would not push my luck beyond 7500 max intervals. Would not trust filters beyond that also. Just takes one time filter breakdown to mess up the engine😢.

  2245. Honda seems to get away with aging of engine oil. The parameters used are temperature and mileage accumulation. So my rarely driven Fit lasted 2+ years to show oil life at 15%

  2246. Found this one. Thanks for sharing. Fun fact, Yelp wants you to pay them to out the 5 star reviews at the tip of the list. Otherwise, they put the 1 star reviews up first. I suspect HD has the same scenario that they're not will to pay for..

  2252. Going to Valvoline they say to do 3k miles with full synthetic Euro blend oil. I know modern oils/engines should have much longer lives but is their oil just inferior? Or are they just wanting me to come in and spend more money?
    1
  2253. Maintaining: keep (something) at the same level or rate. Repair: restore (something damaged, faulty, or worn) to a good condition.

  2254. Ahhh yes I’m only out a 1000 bucks after I buy everything your using smh
    1
  2255. I'd personally step up to 10w-30 in an engine with 300,000 miles.
    1
  2256. the filter makes sense as the pores fill up they catch more contaminants as less places to get threw. but also makes oil pump work harder to push the oil threw. so chance parts could get starved of oil or by pass kicks open and then get dirty oil. but to many variables there.
    1
  2257. I would like you to test amsoil and go 10k miles and send for testing, that would be very exciting

  2258. Awsome video
    1
  2259. Automotive press the head Nissan Engineer of the engine division…change your oil every 2000 miles if you want the engine to last 300000 miles. If you change your own oil the money you save can be spend on this oil change frequency to ultimately protect your engine. Oil lubricants and cleans and holds dirt and gas blow by I only use Mobil 1 or Pensoil Ultimate and Mobil 1 or Amzoil filters My Cars always exceed 225000 and it is usually something other than the engine that pushes me to change out. 2001 corolla went 300000
    1
  2260. mobile 1 filter and HM synthetic every 14 thousand you do not need to change once a year. been doing this for years. there is lots of info if you Resource on the net.

  2261. Unrelated to video, but that car looks immaculate, headlights clear are diamonds, hood is mirror like, and wheels look like they haven't seen a day of mud/rain.

  2262. Virtually every branded engine oil has proprietary additives. The lab test checks for wear related issues /concerns, not for additive levels. The lab report answers this question: Is the oil lubricating the engine sufficiently. HOWEVER, engine oil has another functions beyond lubrication. The engine oil 'emulsion' also contains elements that help to keep gaskets and seals pliable . These functions / elements ARE affected by time / exposure to the atmosphere, they evaporate (albeit slower if not driven), leaving your engine prone to oil leaks if not changed by time and/or distance.
    1
  2263. The same lab that does the analysis MAY be able to do some of it, provided they know what oil was used. What makes it difficult is that the 'emulsion / additives' are trade secrets of the relevant brands. But there should be some overlap(s) , that theymight be able to trace? To do this accurately, you'd have to reverse-engineer the oil, which may not be legal?  @EndlessMoneyPits

  2265. I tell u something the oil u use castrol is not synthetic is base mineral oil grade 3. Like many other brands is only 3 brands that actuallyhave fully synthetic oil. In germany is illegal to brand castrol as synthetic coz is not.. go for motul 100% synthetic. U will get good protection and dont need to change oil every 5000 miles

  2275. The radiator is blocked off by the front splinter. They come stock with a front splinter which is underneath the Vette which filters air to the radiator. I should know I own a 2002. I'm keeping my Vette to my dying day and I'm 51...!

  2279. What if it has smart key??? Same procedure?
    1
  2280. 10,000 between oil changes is to long.5,000 is good.Plus I saved money by not sending in oil samples.I change oil & filter every 3,500 miles or 3Xs in 10,000 on my vehicles(or every 4 months Cheap insurance).
    1
  2281. Great video. I suggest another try With 10000 miles in order to see if there were special causes for the first result...
    1
  2282. If you like to gamble go for long oil changes. The bottom line is oil is much cheaper than replacing your engine. In my 40 plus years working on cars I never seen an engine fail because someone changed oil to often, let that sink in.
    1
  2283. Would be interesting to see for a mini cooper, the standard oil change there is after 18.6 miles or after 24 months
    1
  2284. oil is still usable, just "dirty", need another quality filter to keep your usable oil working for longer period.
    1
  2285. Would appreciate a LINK to the bike stand that is lifting the rear tire! Looks very practical!

  2286. Good job dismounting But having the swing arm out I would remove rust and paint it Also the bolts need a good clean up w iron brush before greasing

  2287. Hi thanks for sharing, I have one question do all of the engine mounting spacers fit in the exact place as before. Thanks Ian.
    1
  2288. I change oil myself every 5,000km. I buy synthetic on special at half price. One oil change cost same as petrol for 3 days of driving. Now, tell me why do I need to cut on oil changes.
    1
  2289. 5 to 6000 mi is best for most everyday running,OIL changes for Sun is usually said to recommended for 6000 max,all about How often you Drive and How hard,lol

  2295. OOPs I got another question for you when you put the slipon on your bike did you add a powecammander? or does it need one??
    1
  2296. Thanks for this video. I changed my air filter just now on my 2013 CBR500R. My bike only had 7,900 miles on it, yet it was super dirty with a lot of dead insects inside. I live in a mountain town in Kentucky, so perhaps they get dirtier here. I decided to change it while the bike is apart with no fairings currently on it. Edit: not that fairings would be in the way, but I'm basically doing all the maintenance I can think of while the bike is apart, and the new fairings are being painted.
    1
  2297. the reason you change oil yearly, regardless of miles, is due to acid build up in the oil as the additives are used up. "The IDEAL time to change your oil is as the additives deplete, the TBN number goes down, and the acid number (TAN) goes up". Your lab results are not testing TBN or TAN, as can be seen in the video. so you dont actually know if your oil needs changed or not.
    1
  2298. Impressive
    1
  2299. Let's just say I remember in the 70s how you were supposed to change your oil like every 10,000 miles and then year by year the recommendation got shorter and shorter while the oil supposedly was formulated to be better and better.
    1
  2300. I change the oil every 5000 miles, as I use it as a taxi. I do it myself.

  2312. Good job (vehicle choice, driving habits__routinely hitting redline, as do I__video quality and pertinent content)! I've been on the oil analysis band wagon since the early-1990s. Initially, it was a Quaker State Oil promotion that got me started (more on the QS oil later...); one (1) year supply of FREE OIL and analysis by Titan Laboratories in Colorado. My "fleet" at that time consisted of a couple of MGBs (rdstr & GT coupe) and I was probably averaging about 12-15k miles per year/per car. I had historically been a Castrol oil advocate since buying my first (brand new) MGB in 1973. Ultimately, I only ran the QS oil for about 6k miles in each car, as the sludge build-up was incredible (valve-adjust intervals at 6k miles, so a mandatory look at the valve train). Upon removing the valve cover, I couldn't believe my eyes, as there was a perfect silhouette of the inside of the valve cover shaped out of (dry) sludge! I physically removed what I could, then did a couple of back to back oil changes with my beloved Castrol GTX (1000-1200 mi intervals) and by the next routine valve check/adjust, conditions were back to normal. But I digress... I continued to use the Titan oil samples through the year 2000 and beyond. At some point early in my foray into BMWs ('99 M Rdstr purchased CPO w/5400 miles in November 2000) I transitioned over to Blackstone's analysis. Since I still had some prepaid Titan samples left, I sent samples to BOTH labs a couple of times, receiving nearly identical results (a 1 or 2 ppm difference being negligible, right?). Satisfied myself that they were both honest ;) Since the CPO M Rdstr included "free" oil changes averaging 9000 mile intervals, I elected to do an oil service myself halfway between the ones done at the dealership (who also pulled oil samples for me at those intervals). Same tactic was applied to our next BMW purchase, a new 2001 M Rdstr. Being (so) old school, and coming from cars that required oil changes at 3000 mile intervals, I NEVER could wrap my head around 9,000-15,000 mi oil services, which coincidentally became recommendations simultaneously to BMW including oil service during the warranty period, so 4500 miles works well for me. Forty-five hundred (4500) miles is also the "test average" Blackstone has for the S52 & S54 engines in three (3) of my current cars, so I'm hardly alone on my thinking. We're now into our ninth (9th) BMW, and I'm still pulling oil samples to send to Blackstone more than two (>2) decades later, and typically at 4500 intervals, though some of the cars take a lot longer to go that far than they did when I was commuting every day! Our current fleet stands at: 1957 Austin-Healey 100/6 2-seater; purchased 4-1-1978 1967 MGB GT; 8-5-2020 (under restoration) 1999 BMW M Rdstr; 11-11-2000 1999 BMW M Coupe; 2-2-2014 2001 BMW M Rdstr; 8-30-200 2016 BMW X5M; 12-7-2018
    1
  2313. Lol,i dont care what car brand you own-every engine should have its oil changed every 5000 miles maximum. Once you start exceeding the 5000 mile interval thats when engines start to build up with sludge and everything gets varnished. That is why engines fail most of the time because of these stupid 10,000 mile oil changes,its the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard of doing to a engine.

  2330. Hi I managed to install this. First time I've ever managed to get INPA working after many failed attempts! However, this version doesn't have functionality to be able to run SMG adaptions and bleeding for my E46 M3. Do I need a different version and how can I get this?
    1
  2331. at this point it is probably TOO late to think of more frequent oil changes that needs to be done from the beginning when you already screwed the parts no amount of "good" "new" oil will make difference
    1
  2332. Thank you!
    1
  2333. Suspect the flash point is entrained volatiles. Forever I've been careful to get engines to operating temp before turning off so that volatiles evaporate. Since I live in the country, NP. I read back in the late 70's about it being crucial. I've never had any issues with wear since, did have before, Toyota 18R-RC, timing chain tensioner. Works with OCD😅

  2337. 7500 result better than 5000 is because the 5000 is just after 10000. Every day new oil is the best but it is impossible. I think there is no “too often”I always change oil as frequent as possible
    1
  2338. I change oil every 500 miles in my 1930 Ford Model A, 6,000 miles (or every 2 years) in my SLK350 and 5,000 in my Tacoma.

I've managed to cram it back into place, but unsure if a NEW Amazon sourced sun visor is feasible. I can no longer adjust it sideways or upright without it falling out into lap. Will a replacement work? Thx in advance. Eric.
    1
  2351. One thing I'll say is I would have changed the oil filter anyway. I see no reason not to. It's cheap, it gives me peace of mind, and I don't run the risk of leaving it in for 45000km if I mistakenly think I changed it last time and I didn't. For me changing it every time is the way.
    1
  2352. Right from the getgo on a engine,you get air and oil contamination,especially oil dilution from gas that passes by the piston rings,especially on direct injection engines.5000 mi should be max,otherwise you will get cam and bearing wear

  2363. You should have also sent off each time a sample of the new oil to see what had changed over the course of the oil usage. This would also show if the quality control is good at Castrol. I wonder if the castrol oil that was used each time was from the same plant?

  2365. I really like this style content. I can relate with cars. I tried try get a mechanic job and didn't work out. I ended getting into cars heavily back in the mid 2000. Now I am pretty handy with cars, and saved a-lot of coin doing things myself.

  2366. Water in the oil mostly comes from short trips where the oil doesn't get hot enough to make condensate evaporate. If your trips are long enough to get the oil good & hot, then low miles per year won't make the oil deteriorate like short trips would.

  2367. Would you consider making a video on maintenance tips for high mileage cars? I think it’s impressive getting a bmw up to 300k, and I’m sure you have some good wisdom to share on long term car maintenance tips

  2372. Every engine is different so it’s best to do your own samples. I use full synthetic I was going 10,000 miles when I saw this then stopped and am now doing 7,500…. My mom has a twin turbo explorer and those engines require 5,000 miles even with full synthetic because how hard they are on engines and the micro filter that is in them.

  2381. Not just frequency, but also type of oil. Most say 5 W 30, But a closer look would suggest that 5 W 40 is a better alternative under high temperatures.

  2382. What ever the oil change place recommends, just double it.

  2384. If it has a turbo(s)....change it more often
    1
  2385. As far as the health of the engine is concerned, you CANNOT change the oil too often.

  2386. I am curious as in the FAQ you say this set up should work with older BMW's I am looking for a diagnostic set up for my 1998 e36 323i to diagnose an abs and traction light will this set up work for me reading those codes? Iv been looking for ages for an answer on this so any help would be amazing.
    1
  2387. It almost looks like the 10k mile sample had a different oil. Usually moly and other stuff shouldn't change as they are not part of the engine so I am not sure why they would be different. I think most synthetic oils should last between 5-10k miles depending on the driving habits. If you drive the car hard, change every 5k. If you drive normally, every 10k is fine.

  2390. The whole premise of this video is completely flawed and I would consider it misinformation. You cannot do extended OCIs with oil that isn't rated for it and filters that aren't rated for it. You used entirely the wrong products and using them out of spec for things they weren't designed for. You can only use synthetic media oil filters for extended OCIs (FRAM Ultra, AMSOIL EA15K/EAO, Mobil 1 Annual, etc) and oil that's rated for extended changes. AMSOIL Signature Series is rated for 25k miles or 1 year. Pennzoil Platinum is a great synthetic and can usually handle extended OCIs. Mobil 1 Annual is also good.
    1
  2391. I'mma put this as simple as possible. If you have where to DIY, DIY at least once a year. If you're doing something like a daily 10-15Mm per two years changing that oil once every two years won't granade the engine for at least a decade (if not a lot more). I'm not responsible for you revving to redline every chance you get to accelerate and blowing that engine with a 2 year oil change.
    1
  2392. Another benefit is to protect the threads on the pan and plug. The softer copper crush washer deforms as the bolt is torqued down so that the threads dont get deformed if you over tighten

  2393. V nice video! would you say that something similar applies to an s55 engine?

  2394. I change every 8000 km

  2395. Oil is cheap. Engines are expensive
    1
  2396. The only thing I didn’t like about about the company (and this may be standard with other companies) is that it seems that you have to tell them how many miles you driven with the oil sample you are sending for analysis. Aren’t they supposed to analyze this without any information because they will tell you whether the oil sample you are sending them is to deteriorated, good or whatever info they are to send you when you are paying them for whatever information you want to find out? Anyhow, great video, I have been wanted to know too how long I should do my oil changes, since I been using Mobil 1 full synthetic oil with 20K extended performance. Thanks again.

  2397. oil every 5K oil filter and oil every 10K

  2400. I think running out of moly is very “suspicious” As an additive I don’t think it would be readily consumed. I think it’s very possible you may have changed with oil that had settled out the additive pack or something else occurred… Especially since your calcium was high as well it’s very strange…

  2408. On my 3.0 TDI, they recommend 18500km intervals, but I have come to experience that 10.000km is better. The engine runs cleaner and is much more responsive than with 18500km oil

  2409. Does this works on a 2015 Toyota tundra trd pro?

  2410. Garage 54 on YouTube has an episode where they tear down a low compression 4 cylinder and clean everything. After reassembling the engine it went from 8 kilograms per cylinder to 11 kilograms per cylinder and didn't smoke anymore. This is not the only example of this experiment and it seems to turn out about the same every time. What this tells us is the importance of a clean engine. Also, there are several videos on engine cleaners that come close to accomplishing the same thing. Answer, you can't change the rate that your engine produces carbon and by products and it's the carbon and sludge that you need to be concerned about. So change your oil about every 3 to 4 thousand miles and occasionally add some cleaner. Remember, oil changes are cheaper than rebuilding your engine so do them often.
    1
  2411. i say 7500 mile oil changes are best w full synthetic

  2412. I have a mondeo 2.0 petrol duratec that's done 174k miles and serviced every 10k still drives sweet and does better mpg than manufacturer states. I average 36.5mpg on a mixed cycle. It's how you treat the car from cold too. I always warm up gently and get up to temp on the move. I like this engine, it's robust simple design and is a good workhorse.
    1
  2413. What happens if I add 2 quarts to the oil change ? I’m new to this, dealer gave me two bottles (each 1qt ) and I drained the oil and drained filter and just added both bottles. Will this harm anything or do I need to drain a certain amount ?
    1
  2414. Didn't listen to you talking, because it was had to tell what you were saying. The music didn't help, and it sounded funny. So I read a few comments and found some information I agreed with. Had a bug I changed the oil every thousand miles. Got it to go 113 thousand miles, but I thought it should have been better. Now I change oil every eight thousand miles or when the oil get past medium Brown. I use GTX and have the store brand on the side in case someone wants to borrow some. API rating is good on any brand. I do my own changes as you can't trust any body. Or at least I don't.
    1
  2415. For my turbo 4cyl car, I like to change mine every 5k miles. I drive it hard so it's necessary. Usually ends up being a normal springtime/fall service interval.
    1
  2416. Did they give you TBN and TAN numbers in the analysis? They give you an idea of how much capacity the oil has to deal with blowby, water, and fuel.
    1
  2417. Great video, exactly what I was looking for. : ) I'll be attempting this replacement soon!
    1
  2418. Hey, oill companies are finding it hard to get their gas to go up. Why? Because, people like you have become just too sensible and are not wasting their money on gas guzzlers and ridiculous oil changes every 3000 miles! The oil companies want to get gas to go over $5 a gallon. However, the price keeps dropping because of more intelligent consumption!

  2421. Since the pcm in the computer regulates the voltage and if you decide to bypass it by adding an external adjustable regulater can this cause any issues with the computer since its not getting a reading anymore. Can it cause lights to come on ex: check engine light or cause the car to act weird
    1
  2422.  @EndlessMoneyPits  wow I see. I have a system and have the 90 amp alt. The issue im having is to get the full benefits of my amp I need to power them to about 14.5v but the factory alt only gets me up to about 13.8v standstill. when running everything if it does drop down to high 12v when I'm pushing but surprised most part im between 13.2-13.5v. I have a kenitik 1200 up front and a kenitik 600 in the rear to power 600 watt amp with a 600 watt sub. I also have a small power inverter in front with two outlets and 4 usb's, I also have a much larger believe 5k inverter I use rarely use now so trying to figure out how to maximize my power. Hope all makes sense
    1
  2423. Not to mention I have not installed 2nd amp 4ch yet which will be powering front and rear speaker, thing is I have a set of component speakers I like to add to the front doors along with a second set of tweeters so possibly run all off second amp since the 4ch amp has enough power or add a 3rd amp. So yeah running alot of power. I did recently notice my headlight dim very minimal to where I notice but when I ask others they don't notice until I pint it out. Thats why I really want to add an external regulator but don't want the computer to act up.
    1
  2424.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for your replies/info will look into that. I have 2 kinetik batteries. The one in the nine bay is a 1200 watt battery which i use as my main battery. I'm running all 4 gauge ofc wire even added 4gauge wire from the alternator to battery with factory still attached and added 4 gauge ground ofc wire as well to the main battery along with the factory wire then I have a second small battery from kinetik 600 watt batt in the rear with 4 gauge running from the first battery in the engine bay so that why I want to upgrade my alternator along with adding the external voltage regulator and thats just for my one 600 watt system and still have to add the rest. I have everything just have not had time to finish installing the rest of the speakers and amps. But also holding back because wasnt sure what direction/issue im going to be running into with upgrading the alternator and external voltage regulator

  2426. it is proven that it is better for engine to change oil twice with cheap oil only once oil filter than once with expensive oil in the same milage interval
    1
  2427. If you do a lot of short journeys like we do in the UK I'd change the oil every 3000 miles or so.

  2436. In your vid you talks about “acceptable levels” of contaminants. But, you have to realize, you’re comparing arbitrary “acceptable levels” with brand new, IDEAL oil in a cases wheee someone changes every 3-4k miles. How on earth could anyone think an engine running new, ideal oil will not be much better than running an oil with “acceptable levels” changing every 7k to 10k. This isn’t rocket science. I think change it as often as you can, using 3k miles as the minimum point where you start to consider changing it. That’s what I do anyway. I’ve bought 30 year old Toyotas a number of times and kept them running for 10+ years myself so I must be doing something right
    1
  2437. Flash point goes down due to fuel dilution. Hence the smell of fuel in the oil.
    1
  2438. I have known a mechanic for 50 years and he thinks these 5k to 10k and beyond intervals are crazy, he refuses to believe the sample lab science. Myself I believe the in oil sampling, as does industry that depends on it for the reliability of mega million dollar engine and machines. A loss of a critical piece of equipment can create a large loss of profit. I don't feel a need to extend my oil change intervals past 5k miles as I am not that cash strapped, I always watch for sales on synthetic oil and by quality oil filters when I can find a good price. I also avoid the garage service writers that are often instructed to find work on customers vehicles. I use my own independent small shop mechanic
    1
  2439. Oil and filters are so cheap and engines are so expensive, 5k or 6 months at the most, maybe less if oil is getting black.

  2442. Great point. I am appalled by the new car oil change intervals that the manufacturers recomend. These are 30 000km for the new diesel VW Passat. And that's just way to long. I suspect they do that so the car doesn't pass emissions test in the EU by the 100 000km mark.

  2449. Very informative video. That's the only way to test oil. Could you try using liquid purple next time
    1
  2450. That is the wrong oil for that engine its not designed for long intervals 5000 miles max. You should be using the bmw LL01 version of that oil e few times then send in a sample. Bmw LL01 version of that oil would be 5w-40 0w-40 and 0w-30 i recommend the first and second given your mileage
    1
  2451. At what time of year were the samples taken? Although the thermostat should keep COOLANT temperatures pretty steady, oil temps may (or may not) vary more with ambient temps.

  2457. Environment factors and how hot the engine gets whipe you drive it should affect to. If you live in a warm-cold (engine block condensation), moisty climate and never drive the engine warm enough - it will not vapor away the moisture in the engine/oil.
    1
  2458. The greatest cause of oil being less effective in protecting an engine is the gradual buildup of carbon exhaust gases passing through the rings and valve guides causing oil to become black . Buildup eventually causes varnish and solid carbon buildup that abrades working parts and clogs up oil gallery and rings to further compound the problem and eventually engine failure. Changing oil within the 5K mark for most driving conditions is a cheap form of insurance for long life of engine.

  2459. I changed my oil every time I drive. It changes from being in the oil Pan to shooting all through the engine and then back to the oil Pan.

  2466. This varies widely based on the type of vehicle and quality of the oil. Turbocharged vehicles tend to break oil down rapidly. Sport engines that get revved high regularly break it down even faster. Lots of factors. Do your own oil analysis on your cars, at least the 1st few oil changes to see how it behaves. I always do and it shocking how different they can be.

  2470. most people are NOT driving large amounts of miles, especially since covid. There is no way in hell i would wait 10k miles for an oil change. Even Toyota ring pistons will get extensive damage by waiting 10k miles. you can get a 5qt jug at walmart for $18 to 25. oil filter, $4 to 12. so for $40, change the oil, wait 7000 miles, and change it again. most people BARELY drive 12k miles in one year. age also makes a difference. condensation collects in the oil pan, and waters down oil. so really, oil changes need to be done at least TWICE per year. Many vehicles are direct port fuel injected. these cars FOR SURE you should NOT wait 10k miles to change the oil.
    1
  2471. Very well structured video and great research thanks. Oil and filters are cheap compared to cars and engines!

  2472. See Mercedes sourse guy for info. UK, Passat , 1999 registered. 1.9 TDI. 235 ,000 miles on it. Steady driving. New 5w-30 synth oil and Mann filter every 5000 miles from new. Without fail. No breakdowns, starts first time, runs as sweet as a nut. Says it all.

  2473. The cost of a new car is extremely high and availability is limited. Taxes on purchasing a new and even very old car are extremely high and especially for us in the Canadian province of British Columbia (politicians who are running shows in the provincial and municipal government of British Columbia are like those delusional imbeciles who are running state and cities of California). In my opinion, new cars are getting very complicated and with all that unnecessary technology, unreliable again. The quality and reliability of cars reached a peak in the late 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, at least this goes for Japanese vehicles and even German vehicles like BMW. I'm talking about gasoline direct injection, turbocharged engines, plastic parts replacing metal water pumps, metal oil drain pans, even oil drain plugs, cooling hoses, valve covers, etc. No need to replace transmission fluid, it is good for life (for the life of the transmission and after the warranty expires). I'm not impressed with the recent development. I will keep driving my 2006 Corolla and 2010 Yaris as long as they are safe on the road. I replace the oil and oil filter maximum every three months or maximum every 3200 miles (5000 km), whichever comes first. Oil, oil filter and oil drain gasket are still affordable, but buying brand-new vehicles is not.

  2483. Yeah, well, that's just like uhhh your opinion man. I bought this helmet and you're right it is a bit tight. So there's a new intercom that fits the new 1400? The shop by me didn't even say there was one they just said the one they have doesn't fit, which was already $350. I was pretty bummed about it. Still considering the Cardo but don't really want to yet 😒

  2485. I believe you should try mother brand. I don’t think you are using the best available.
    1
  2486.  @5metoo  Show me the scientific proof or testing that confirms what you believe. "adding engine oil does matter to oil change intervals". How often should one change oil, if one is constantly adding a quart every 1,000 Miles?
    1
  2487.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Remember, after the first quart is added to top up the oil level, it also has a life-span, even if it wasn't mixed with used oil. So there is limited times one can add oil before there could be a total engine failure.
    1
  2488. That 5100 mile sample would have had a lot of residual from the 10,000 mile oil change. I’m sure it would have looked very similar to the 7500 mile sample on a per mile basis otherwise.

  2501. I had a 2002 VW that came with a copper crush washer. Never changed it and after 96,000 miles it never leaked. The last 2 new VW's I've bought say to use crush washers but both didn't come with them from the factory. The 2 free oil changes from the dealer they never used a crush washer either. Never used one on the 2021 GTI and it never leaked. Then there's the recommendation to replace the drain plug everytime too which is complete rubbish

  2504. It's not very professional for the oil laboratory to include their opinion with the sample results.

  2505.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Just think about it.
    1
  2506.  @EndlessMoneyPits  What i mean by that is when you go longer contamination stays at walls of the engine and so the new oil took punch from previous test.
    1
  2507. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits  so do another 10k change next to compare to 1st 10k and see.

  2510. I guess you can say it's too often if taking your oil to its proverbial death bed is the goal. Well, forget that. I'll continue to change it too soon.

  2515. Thanks for the best oil change U Tube vidio out there. Retired and only drive 4,000 miles a year but have the synthetic oil changed every 9 to 10 months for my 7 year old SUV just as it gets close to halve a quart low on dip stick.

  2520. For me Use 5000-7500 miles is average time wise for oil change interval

  2521. Did you ever fix the problem of the 19 volts? And if so how? I have went over everything and tested several times with no luck. Even taken the alternator off multiple times to check output.

  2523. Now do engine hours versus miles.
    1
  2524. why not take a sample at the bigining? this is where all the shit is.
    1
  2525. Maybe the low metal rating in the 7500 sample is due to no quality metal being left? I say change at 5000 miles. Oil is cheap!
    1
  2526. Does it matter? How much wear can this engine withstand before falure? And many more questions.We all know that these engines are quite durable even when they are abused daily so does it even matter if you change the oil at 7.5k km or 15k km?
    1
  2527. I recently bought a 2019 Audi A5. The factory oil change interval is 10k miles. I prepaid for the 30k, 40k, and 50k services. I will change the oil myself at the intervening 5k mile intervals after watching this video.

It is to fast , everytime you gas it it just roars on the highway YES 80 to 120 in about 5 seconds in 6th gear.. Drinks gas tall first gear 82 mph. Okay I a 600 rider this gsx s1000f is just brutal brakes are GREAT it handles it turns etc but damn there is no CHILL MODE...

  2557. Research on synthetic oils has been out in the mainstream for years. According to that I go no more than 5000-6000 miles. I run whatever oil the manufacturer recommends in my 335i. Which is Castrol 5-30 full synthetic by the way. I’m not sure why they recommend Castrol as I always used Mobil 1 in my other Vette and SRT’s I had. I’m thinking the Vanos system plays a part in that. But
    1
  2558. I follow the manufacturers recommended on my vehicles, but in reality if you change it once a year you are ahead of most :)

  2564. I run the e90 generation that came after yours. My 3.0 328i I also redline and drive daily. The oil you used would not meet the BMW Spec for their recommended oil change interval. I have to use Castrol 5w-30 Euro Spec A3/A4 sold at Walmart for $27 for 5 quarts. Maybe switch it and retest at 10k
    1
  2565. I change the oil in my Honda Accord 2.0T engine whenever the little wrench shows up on the instrument panel. (It does when the “oil life” is indicated at 30%.) This turns out to be @ 7K miles, no matter how I drive. Changes are done at the dealer as insurance that they will honor my extended warranty. So far, so good.

  2566. Shot out to Mr Venny ❤😂
    1
  2567. thanks for sharing your results but I don't agree with basing your decision simply on oil analysis... it neat and all but doesn't really show the full picture. Don't get me wrong, it good to know if your engine is being worn down due to high metal content etc... but the oil sent to the lab is part of what was drained, obviously. what if a long drain interval is causing sludge build up? how is the oil analysis going to help in that situation given that sludge won't be getting drained and analyzed by the lab? why have I heard one person in my life mention that as being a consideration while everyone else acts like oil analysis tells you everything you ever need to know? (I'm commenting generally, not going to question the methods of someone whose BMW is pushing 500k km and doesn't burn oil lmao you've earned that clout lol)

  2571. Change your full synthetic motor oil and filter every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or, every 6 months, whichever comes first. If yours is a 1.5L turbocharged engine then try and change closer to the above 5,000 mile mark. If you're fussy and want to change earlier then go for it. Again: 5,000 to 7,500 miles on full synthetic, or, every six months, whichever comes first.
    1
  2572. VERY interesting, to say the least. I've always told people oil is A LOT CHEAPER than a new or used engine + labor. And that manufacturers are trying to SELL YOU A NEW CAR whenever possible, not try to help you maintain your used one. There's no money to be made on that ! 🙄
    1
  2573. Only if people would also service their transmissions
    1
  2574. Oil change interval should be 1 year or at most 8000 miles, which ever comes first. Oil does not just lubricate, it also keeps things clean. Use oil that "still lubricates" and soon your piston rings are stuck and changing them will be very expensive.

  2578. Man, I hate cars.
    1
  2579. Maybe a half century ago when I was a very young man, I read a story in Popular Science about this new fangled synthetic oil developed by Mobil. They ran an engine on the dyno for 100,000 miles equivalent only adding oil to keep the level up. After 100,000 miles, they tore the engine down. The engine was like new. Zero piston ring ridge. Machine marks still visible everywhere. Point being oil changes with synthetics is probably a waste of time, money, and resources. If you have oil consumption of one quart every 4,000 miles and a crankcase of 4 quarts, you are effecting an oil change every 16,000 miles. With every quart of new oil, you are replenishing the detergents and viscosity index improvers. If your engine uses no oil, of course, this wouldn't hold true. It's possible that the better results after not changing the filter is due to increased filter efficiency. Unlike what many people believe, a filter filters better with increasing crud caught in the media. In a real world application like in a car, that means it filters better and better until so clogged the bypass valve opens all of the time. Speaking of which, said bypass valves will often open when the oil is cold, especially with high revolutions. So, the reality is, one's oil is only getting filtered most, not all of the time. I used to be a filtration engineer. Don't forget that in oil analysis, a lot of the number for OK/not OK are purely subjective. I wonder what the numbers would have been for Mobil's 100K mile engine. Probably not so good, and yet.....

  2583. My 2000 sensor goes in horizontaly under thermostat more or less, might be a pain with wiring harness in the way. Let the flush stay in for 60mi, has over 200k on it, was brown but not too bad. Hopefully sensor stops fans from going on when only the heat is turned on, blows the heat out before it gets to heater core in winter, flushed it few times to. Did grab spare relays at junkyard in case sensor isn't the problem

  2584.  @EndlessMoneyPits  had this one for 50k+ miles, has over 200k on it, rebuilt entire front end after I got it, new brake lines to rear, basic crap for old work car. Looked like new when I got it from a detailer, he wasn't any kind of mechanic tho. Air still works and these old Vulcans are tuff, knockn on wood. A 3/4 in should also fit the sensor.

  2587. Very interesting facts.... never heard of anyone having any oils/fluids in a machine analyzed like you have although if I owned big Cat's or other large earth moving type stuff I think I'd want to know all about it. Also, I'd bet that this transfer case gets changed way less than it should. What I mean is a lot of owners might not even think about it or know and then there's the owners who do not change the engine oil regularly? Thanks for the video & We used a UHAUL for 3 days & about 350 miles was right at $500...... w/o gas included. Go Figure? Enjoy the new home

  2595. Oil changes are relatively cheap. I do them at 5k and I quit doing my own. The technician not only changes the oil but rotates the tires and checks all other wear components. If you brought in a car off the street and asked them to do all these checks without an oil change they'd still charge $50.

  2612. I've been through an Accord, Camry, and now an old Odyssey. I've been doing the 10,000 mile oil change since day one (early 1990s), and never had any issues. The reason I don't want to do the 5,000 mile change is that at the end of the car's service life, there will be no point to have a strong and healthy engine with the rest of parts all failing. At that point you have to replace the car any way. You want all parts to deteriorate in parallel at a roughly equal rate. It also cuts down the oil change frequency by a half.

  2615. I tested my naturally aspirated 2.5 diesel Land Rover engine at 5000 mile intervals when young. The results were alarming but not surprising considering how black this model’s oil became even five miles after fresh oil. If I had taken notice of the analysis the oil would have been changed every 2000 miles but I decided to ignore it. In fact the engine did fail in the end, not from bearing or bore wear but from a broken piston. After 22 years of hard farm work and towing 3.5 tons regularly. The whole vehicle was worn out so it was scrapped. I always u sed long drain diesel 15w/40 starting with CE and ending with CH4 performance. Not synthetic.

  2616. I bought the same and had the same results 👎

  2617. You can use the a same oil but now they make it "Castrol Edge high mileage" and with up to 10,000 mile intervals. I never go 10,000 my max is 7,000-7,500 :goodvibes: 2007 Lexus RX350 199,000 miles still runs like new engine and I tow a SXS during summer.

  2618. There should be a class action lawsuit against BMW (& other manufacturers) for saying that the transmission fluid doesn’t get changed because that’s total crap (like my transmission). My 2009 BMW 1 series 128i convertible has transmission issues and only 116k miles. The previous owner never changed the fluid per BMW and now it shudders in 4th & 5th gears when I drive it in full automatic mode. If I manually shift it drives fine with no shudder. If there had been a schedule to change the fluid and the previous owner had it done this most likely wouldn’t be a problem. Now I’m screwed with a transmission that is not going to last very long. It’s a crime to not have a schedule to maintain it. I read up on this and found that there is no coolant flush, or trans flush, or diff flush or fuel filter that is scheduled by BMW. That’s criminal on the part of BMW. No wonder BMWs have so many issues. I’m sick of auto makers misinforming customers on these maintenance issues. BMW should be forced to either replace transmissions that have issues like mine or replace the entire car. Won’t ever buy another BMW ever again. And good luck selling my car without replacing the transmission!!

  2633. >oil is cheap, engines are expensive It's around $200 for an oil & filter change service, so I could potentially save $600 by doing a service every 24 months instead of the recommended 6 months. Plus the inconvenience of having to drop it off and pick it up at the workshop, and being without a car that day. So I think for a very low mileage car every 24 months is ok. I only drove 3000km in the last 24 months.

  2644. Many BMW engines consumes oil. 10000 miles oil change should be fine, assuming addition of at least 1lt of oil at each interval.

  2645. having trouble with win11 doesn't show a test program option in troubleshoot compatibility.

  2646. Wow thanks for this.. I am doing 11k-12k-km before oil change and I thought I was already neglecting my engine for not doing below 10k-km oil change on a fully synthetic oil (mobil1 5w30)..
    1
  2647. The more often the oil is changed the cleaner the engine will be, and it will last longer.

  2649. ... Great video!! I bought the same bike (a lightly used 2021) on 5/31/23. Subscribed with a bell. Why not use a master link for easy removable if you need to take it off? I rode from 1969 - 1985 and all my chains had master links. Is it now the norm NOT to have master links? Maybe it eliminates the possibility of having the master link failure on rally, dual sports and ADV bike while out on the trail? Thanks, . Jeff .

  2650. I have a few things I want to that will be a lot easier this way: vented fog light shrouds, led corner lights, fang frame protectors. I’ve done the fog light shrouds before on another C5 from the bottom and there was a lot of cussing and scraped knuckles. Makes sense to do it the right way! Thanks for this video.

  2657. Oil is pretty cheap, especially for a car that old. I change oil about every 5 thousand miles, or six months, whatever comes first. That works well for most people. If you drive a lot of highway miles, you could go a bit longer. If you drive in a dirty environment, tow, or have an older engine with a lot of blow by, you might want to change more often.
    1
  2658. The Castrol engine oil that you keep using is a Grade III synthetic oil. Its rated for 10,000 miles with the help of additives only but it really isn't a 10,000 mile oil. Its more like a 5k mile oil if you have a direct-injection engine and 7k mile oil if you have a naturally aspirated engine. For 10,000 mile oil change try synthetic oils made from GTL Grade III+ base oil. Such oils are more pure and refined than standard Grade III base oil and are harder to break down. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is one such example. For 15,000 mile try AMSOIL signature series which is made from Group IV PAO base oils. These are 100% true synthetics. Amsoil rates them for 25,000 which is ofcourse pushing it, but it can definitely go 15,000 miles.
    1
  2659. Cut open the used oil filter. Spread it out to check it out for shiny metal debris. 🤔
    1
  2660. Amsoil you can go longer and it’s the only one. My Prius was 17500 still changed at 10k

  2661. Ah, that's how you disconnect it. No more antenna while listening to music cd's, yay!

  2664. "Just keep throwing money at it" This man may own a boat.
    1
  2665. Low milage is often an indication of short drives - that is damaging bad for the oil. If you know that you use the vehicle only for normal use but seldom, Lets say a motorcycle in Sweden, I dont change very often.
    1
  2666. Better too often than too late
    1
  2667. What if it squeaks? I changed my 2012 alternator and the car screams. How do I tell if it's the belt? How do I tighten it?
    1
  2668. I say keep the 5000 mile interval. If oil is getting past the valve seals, or past the oil control rings, doesn't that mean more of the oil is getting burned and turned into carbon that would build up in the filter?
    1
  2669.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yes, both. At this mileage, it may be significantly clogged. If it is clogged, you could consider purchasing aftermarket. They were ~$100 the last time I looked.

  2671. I change my Honda Civic oil every 15k miles and never had any problems.
    1
  2672. 8,000 miles complete change, and filter plus a quart at 4,000 miles probably optimum for this engine and oil and utilization.
    1
  2673. How about the years interval? I rarely used my other car…
    1
  2674. How many miles can you run on one quart of oil. To me, that's an important number since you would be refreshing the existing oil with a quart of new oil. Also, I don't think your engine is turbo charged. BMW turbo-charged engines get the oil really dirty with carbon/blow by. My son has a 2010 135i and we change the oil every 3000 to 4000 miles. The engine uses one quart of oil every 2500 miles. My preferred oil is Mobil-1.

  2675. GOODNESS GUY YOURE AT THE END OF YOUR ENGINE ALREADY,LOL

  2676. If my c5 is too low how do I raise it
    1
  2677. Was those sample results (units) in mg or %?
    1
  2678. In the old days we used to have to change the oil every 3000 miles. If you do your own oil changes it is inexpensive ($40-60) so I change mine between 5000-6000 miles and feel that is appropriate. If I go longer it won't save me much money, especially when you compare it to the cost of fuel. Every time I change the oil on my diesel car there is a measurable improvement of about 3-4 mpg.
    1
  2679. Fantastic analysis!
    1
  2680. Change my engine oil and filter every 6 months (4/5000 miles). Keep the air filter, MAF, pupework, and throttle body meticulously clean. 216k miles. Jag 4 L V8 is fast and responsive.

  2688. My old 16 valve Nissan: Oil change every 15.000 km every few years, 180.000 km, no oil consumption, oil is always yellow and clean. 🤷‍♂ Doing something wrong?
    1
  2689. I judge my oil change by looking at the oil stream as it nears the end of the draining process into the pan. If the stream breaks into droplets then the oil has lost viscosity and/or there is accumulated moisture.

  2690. Help I can’t find mine lmfaooo

  2691. Change your oil after 15.000km or at least once a year. Period.
    1
  2692.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I gave up on trying to find a reputable lab long ago. Every one I looked into was either a cheap money grab, or prohibitively expensive. It's much easier to just change the oil and filter every 3K-10K, depending on driving style and oil quality. Mostly city driving with cheap oil and a lead foot=3K. Mostly gentle highway driving with good oil=10K. Over-complicating it beyond that doesn't make enough of a difference to matter over the life of the engine.
    1
  2693. Lab says: Time doesn't matter, usage does. Video conclusion: "I think time matters so I'm not leaving it longer than this." ??!!
    1
  2694.  @EndlessMoneyPits  What I got was those reasons were feelings, nothing else. It’s worth repeating: Lab oil expert says calendar time doesn’t matter.

  2695. Nice video. In my experience it is always important to change the triptych (chain, sprocket and crown) because if you change only the chain, high risk to wearing it out irregularly.

  2707. My wife and I put less than 5000 miles combined on our three vehicles each year. I change the oil and filter in all of them annually and use full synthetic oil. Not driving much means I pay more per mile for taxes, insurance and annual maintenance. Our vehicles are old so I started running engine flush solvent as part of the oil changes. I also suck the old fluid from the brake reservoirs and power steering reservoirs and refill with new fluid as a cheap and easy half of a flush and fill. The solution to pollution is dilution, and that eliminates half of the suspended particulates that cause wear and half of the moisture that causes corrosion. Unlike engine oil, these are hygroscopic fluids.

  2711. Interestingly my father who was a mechanic and garage owner ( retired) was given a peugeot 405 Sri with 120k miles on by someone emigrating to Australia. He kept the car same as you 7 years. In that time he did not service one item oil, brakes anything. His motto was if it ain’t broke don’t mess. I cant say I agreed with him but, indeed worked for him. He only added another 30k miles to it before he passed but nothing went wrong with it. When I sold it I serviced it and boy did I have a game gettin oil filter off. No oil leaks anywhere. I change mine on colour if so lot miles or yearly if under 10k a year. Never had engine blow up cars or motorcycles. Remember oil is a coolant too

  2728. Great video! I am trying to install a Renthal Fatbar replacing the stock handlebar on my G310GS. The screws supplied with the Barkbusters aren't long enough to go through the stock bar ends. I am not able to remove the screw receivers (don't know what you call them) in the stock handlebar ends. The 1:49 mark on your video. So I assume that I have to go the hardware store and buy longer screws to go through the ends of the Barkbusters, through the bar end and then expand to the inside of the Renthal Fatbar - without the little screw receiver part that is stuck in my factory handlebar. Does this sound right? Renthal Fatbar 1 1/8 in. (28.6mm) diameter at clamping area; 7/8 in. (22.2mm) at the ends with .197 in. wall thickness
    1
  2729.  @EndlessMoneyPits  That's correct the bar end weights but I see now you did not put them back on. I was wondering how much of a difference bar ends weights make as I am debating putting mine (back) on or installing the Barkbusters withOUT the bar end weights. Nice job on the video.

  2733.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yep, got at it from the bottom. My left forearm may never be the same - squeezing it in there to get at the front nut. Mercifully, the old one disintegrated when I tried to take it off - but getting the new one on was quite an exercise, even after pre-threading it. Thanks again. One question you may be able to answer, I installed the hyper flash unit tonight and I'm really struggling to get the interior temperature sensor back in. is there a trick to it, or just dogged perseverance? Thx.

  2739. I recently got a new 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage. And I want to make it last as long as possible without needing to replace the engine, or transmission. So I will be changing these early. About every 5,000-6,500 miles seems good. What do you think? I am thinking of 10,000 miles for the transmission, as that is a weaker point of the car. I don't drive it hard, I tend to accelerate at about 2,000 RPM. In the first 500 miles I've floored it.. Maybe 3 times. Once was at a yellow light, once was going up a mountain and I wanted to see how much power it had at 7,000 feet above sea level, where it makes 62 HP. (At sea level the Mirage makes 78 HP). And once was on the freeway. Someone was getting on the same speed as me, right next to me. So I floored it from 55, to 75 MPH, up a hill. It took about 20 seconds. I am a bit concerned for the engine sense I did that during break in. Going to do the first oil change at about 500 miles, as it can't hurt, especially since I gave it a lot of gas during the break in. But overall, I find the car very nice. An arm rest would be nice, but I am going to make my own. And I find the engine has more than enough power. Driving around town it doesn't get higher than 2,000 RPM. I just stay in the slow lane. But you can go a lot faster in it if you wanted.
    1
  2740. I might do that and see what they say about the metal in the oil, it will be neat to see how it does. The Yaris is a nice car! Sadly they stopped making them.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I can't speak for all new Mitsubishi models. But the Mirage is very rare for it to be burning oil. They tend to last a very long time. Though the transmission is quite weak. Luckily, this is the lightest car the transmission is pared with, and they tend to last over 200,000 miles with proper care. Plus, the 78 HP engine also probably doesn't wear out the transmission much, as that is pretty low powered. Most cars have about 200-300 HP, and more weight. But it's also the slowest car on the road, so the engine is working harder.. Not sure what to think. Going up a mountain it did well. Going 35-40 MPH it was about 3,000-3,500 RPM. If you floor it, it does a bit, but not much at 7,000 feet above sea level. But on the whole trip, 368 miles, it only used 7.1 gallons of gas. And that came out to about 51 MPG. That is very good considering I went over a mountain, and sat in 3 1/2 hours on the freeway to go 56 miles. But now in the surface streets by the house, it's a lot of sitting. So it has only been getting 35 MPG. A Prius would do better in this situation, as the engine shuts off at the 4 minute lights.
    1
  2741. Yup! But it does have a lot of negative reviews. I guess most of the reviewers want more power out of it, or more features. But that is also more things to break. I am used to auto starters, where you just tap the key, and it keeps turning the engine over till it starts. Or on the Prius it's a button. On this, you need to hold the key till it starts. So I keep starting it part way, then it dies. Getting more used to it though. At least it should not be a money pit, (all cars are, as there is maintenance and gas), but nothing expensive. Out the door, taxes, fees, registration it was $19,956. The MSRP is $18,110. Quite cheap for a new car. I was going to get a used one, till I realized the years I want are nearly the same price as a new one.. A 2021 Mirage with 90,000 miles sold for $16,600. So less than $2,000 more for a new one with a big warranty. @EndlessMoneyPits

  2760.  @EndlessMoneyPits  No problem at all, just wanted to point it out because some may not know. Yes, you could get either the Vulcan or the Duratec DOHC engine for a while, but those Duratec engines were trash, the Vulcan was in the original Taurus starting in 1986. In 1996-1999 you could actually get the Taurus SHO with a 3.4L V8 it was a Yamaha built engine for Ford. The Vulcan engine overall won out and became the standard engine in the Taurus up until 2007 and then Ford went with the 3.8L Duratec engine. The 3.0L Vulcan was the base engine for most model years, both the Vulcan and Duratec used timing chains, a huge plus, but the Duratech being dual cam just complicated matters LOL. Every used car I buy I go through it and change fluids and filters as soon as I get it. A bit of an initial cost, but its a great start to keeping a vehicle going longer. Most people don't bother with routine maintenance it cuts into their wallet, but they're quick to blame the vehicle when it breaks down all the time due to the lack of maintenance.

  2772. It is simple to determine when an engine needs an oil change. I have a 2018 BMW M5 running on 10w - 40, fully synthetic oil. I also run an old 2012 BMW 325. My rule of thumb is oil and filters 10000 km or, in my case, twice a year. This is because of short running and the cooler climate in New Zealand. Visiting the Red line all the time is lunacy.

  2780. Guys Im at 6 percent oil life i run full synthetic oil my vehicle was purchased new in 2018 jeep grand cheroke v6 3.6 with only 24,105 miles as we speak i don't really drive is it ok to drive 500 mile roadtrip?
    1
  2781. Oh I apologized I been getting the oil change since I purchased it new in 2018 oil change every 4 to 6 k last oil change was done at 20k mark now it's at 24,105 miles and it says 6% percent can I go on that roadtrip of 500 miles round trip I checked the oil dip stick no smell it's not dark the oil it's a little over half way the mark am I over thinking it ? should I oil change now or wait?
    1
  2782. Thank you for the reference, I bought a bash plate from China as well all went ok, but I am not sure if the stock plastic heat shield should remain, it looks a bit unfinished or the aesthetics is off

  2783. Hey! How about those 🚽 paper aftermarket oil filters® my Granddad used them on his ®Molines , F6-F700, F800 farm vehicles also that ®Red Fluid by the gallon All the time! Wisc/Minn. 🚜 Farmer......7;^> ...heh

  2784. i bought my bike in 2013 and have never flushed the brakes. Better get off my duff and do it, look very easy!

  2785. Do long intervals and have oil samples done .
    1
  2786. Looks like 7,500 is the ideal time to change the oil and filter. Thanks 👍
    1
  2787. If you have almost 300 grand on your engine I would change the oil 6000

  2789. ASE SENIOR MASTER TECH OF 50 years here,this is what i do,and it has kept me going to fix other peoples cars for years,if you are buying a new car,no matter what the dealer and salesman says,drive 1500 miles drop it the oil and filter,from then on 3500 miles for 3 oil changes,then go to 5500 miles for each change,3 times,this keeps the oil pan clean,a clean oil pan means the oil screen never clogs,this means you can start it up and make it to your destination,you run oil to 7500 miles in 20,000 miles if it makes it,you will have engine damage,PARTS DO NOT WEAR IN CLEAN OIL,FACT,I'VE PULLED thousands of engines,transmissions and differentials apart,when i find a clean one,i check the oil make,clean means it lasts,even if you are severe duty driver,if you do not change and maintain your car,why did you buy it,if you can't afford oil drops,there's always the bus lines,no bull,cars are a luxury,same for a/c systems,modern ac system on a new car is 4500 dollars of the purchase price,just do it,cars and trucks that stay together have clean engines,esp in the hot areas of america,happy motoring
    1
  2790.  @EndlessMoneyPits  WHATS better is go to a trans shop or dealership and put two or three transmission magnets on the oil pan,just JB WELD THEM ON,THIS HOLDS THE PARTICLES PERMANENTLY,ESP NEAR THE OIL SCREEN PICKUP,and use the magnetic pan plug too,metal in suspension is the enemy,oil is the life blood or anything that moves
    1
  2791. For the records, it's just in the States that you guys are obsessed in change oil every 6 months or so. In Europe low mileage cars change oil every 2 years as for manufacturer prescription...
    1
  2792. Change it when its dirty 🤷‍♂️
    1
  2793. I average 10,000 miles a year and that's when I change the oil. No probs.

  2797. Would the results be similar if you tested ATF properties over time instead of mileage like this video?
    1
  2798. I had a 330i. it burned a quart a month. Does yours have that issue
    1
  2799.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Might explain why my M52tu didn't have that issue
    1
  2800. Purchased my 08 Camry new. 1st oil/filter change was @ 500 miles, 2nd change @ 1500 miles, 3rd @ 3000 miles, then every 3000 miles since, using Mobil-1 oil and filters. Overkill? No doubt many ppl will say yes. The way I and others see it---oil and filters are inexpensive compared to engine damage/repairs. Besides, has any engine been hurt by oil that is too clean?
    1
  2801. I run full synth on my F-150, they say to change at 7500 miles, I did it for a few changes but reverted to 5000 miles, it takes me about 8 months to drive that much so it's nbd.
    1
  2802. Your BMW engine is from the era when BMW built their most durable trouble free cars. Cars have more sensors now that get clogged and direct injection that cokes up the engine. You can likely get away with a 7,500 mile oil change. Current BMW's should probably look at doing 5,000 mile oil changes.
    1
  2803. FYI, oil change intervals in km are usually 7500, 15K & 20K.
    1
  2804. After restarting, I don’t have the operating system (c) on my laptop???
    1
  2805.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for the quick reply. I will restart and start the process again.
    1
  2806. How much oil does your engine need? Or can you drive 16k km without refilling?
    1
  2807. I think you should send an other sample at 8500miles. It should clear things out.
    1
  2808.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yessir great decision!
    1
  2809. Impressive results and your car seems to be in great condition. I use the exact same combination of Brands even same viscosity in my 2007 BMW 335i but do a lot less miles than you do so I rest assured after seeing your results. I also add Liqui Moly oil additive at my yearly change , which actually makes more power and smoother startup and running and I would recommend this additive to anyone . Great video.
    1
  2810. I use full synthetic and change every 10k
    1
  2811. Nice video, I'm preparing to do my first chain replacement.

  2812.  @EndlessMoneyPits  oh my bad, fixing my comment.
    1
  2813. I used an oil catch can better known as air oil separator on both of my mustang GT one is a 04 and a 14. And they always catch about 3 ounces of oil between oil changes and I keep them running good
    1
  2814. Should I still change my 2011 Lexus RX 450h's oil, even if the oil is a clear amber color (not dark), after 3 years of driving 2000 miles only?
    1
  2815. Hey, I just bought a used CB500F. Do you have a good resource to acquire a shop manual or maintenance manual for it? I'll definitely be relying on your videos for what you've done so far (I haven't watched all of the CB500-series videos so I can't say whether they contain it all), but in case there is stuff you haven't covered, I'd like to be better prepared. There's really not a ton on the interwebs, and so much just says, take it to a mechanic.
    1
  2816. Why oh why does no one show how to simply check the damn oil. I’ve read how to do it and know where it is but can’t find what it is actually supposed to look like.
    1
  2817. Where can I find the left gear shifter bolt or what size is it
    1
  2818. I drive my car for 14 years.. and i have never changed my oil.. and it runs damn good... and im a mechanic.. my timing belt and waterpump sits for therteen years... my car is 34 years old and even the clutch is 34 years old...
    1
  2819. I know enough people who have done them at the 7500 miles recommended by the manufacturer (who wants to sell you a new car) and ended up with an oil-burning engine full of sludge.
    1
  2820. I always do 5k
    1
  2821. Thank you for the guide I didn't know it was that easy love the video man 🙏🙏

  2822. a hundred oil changes are still cheaper than one replacement engine & its related installation costs.its your money to save or burn.

  2823. Having some trouble with missing DLL file
    1
  2824. It's obvious that you don't do much fabricating. You also didn't clear the utters when you had the chance. If you don't know what they are you should stick to what you know before working on someone else's ride. Sorry, just keeping it real.
    1
  2825. I change my oil every 500 miles !! Been doing this for 26 years, I buy oil by the 55 gallon drum! F150 with 300 straight 6!!
    1
  2826. Red line daily a 300000 mile engine..... I know I'm late to the comments but as a pro mechanic, I hope you have your next engine lined up
    1
  2827. every 3k miles it is
    1
  2828. I think changing oil every 10.000 km is more than reasonable. But, if you only drive outside city, long trips.. no usage inside cities… you can do the change at 15.000 km. This is my opinion.
    1
  2829. The question is how consistent what is your driving behavior for each of the oil changes?
    1
  2830. I do all oil changes at 3k
    1
  2831. I don't need any lab report to tell me when to change it. I change it at 5k miles (full synthetic) and can physically feel the car running smoother straight away. If i can feel such a difference like that, that is all i need to know that it needed changing. I reckon the "lab report" would still say it's good 🤣
    1
  2832. I use that same oile and go around 15K miles with my sentra. I don't drive it hard and the oil is still the golden color it's supposed to be. No engine issues have come from this long oil change interval. I do notice a drop in gas milage and there's probably some performance loss that could explain that. I normally don't try to let it get to 15K and shoot for 10K but sometimes life gets in the way.... A lot. When it gets to 13-15K, I try to limit my driving. I won't say it helps but it is probably less bad.
    1
  2833. The channel should be renamed as endless car videos pit 😂 I've been watching all 3 of your videos you mentioned in the beginning literally one each day! Most helpful was 2 year old oil video as I have a less driven hyundai which I use only once every month. Covered only 100 miles each month in 2024. Got recommendation for your channel at the perfect time cz i was sussing over annual oil changes! 😅
    1
  2834. Thanks, just watched that. Very educational and confirmed my suspicions. Much obliged mate 👍😉🙏
    1
  2835. Thank you! This video was a lifesaver. The only difference I ran into was that I had to remove two of the electrical plugs on the passenger side firewall instead of the two spark plug connectors, and my sensor bolts used a 6mm hex socket instead of 1/4 in..... that took a couple hours to figure out. Thanks again for making this video!!!

  2836. Thanks!

  2837. GET.A.LIFE.

  2838. I'm sure this comment will trigger a lot of people but for my Bimmers, I change my oil every three months or three thousand miles, whichever comes first.

  2839. My alternator doesn't work, they told me it's the PCM. I think using your method will it work?

  2840. Awesome. I gunna do this too. Thx.

  2841. NEVER use a splice connector. Solder and shrink tube everything or have corroded wires. Your choice.
    1
  2842. Thanks man 😃
    1
  2843. Try Using 5/40 castrol oil and repeat the whole test .... using the same method as u did with 5/30 oil...curious if the results are similar. As the engine is high millage, the 5/40 (or even 5/50) might reduce unnecessary wear. (And oil buning in a BMW engine... some of them even specify 10/60 oil) With the 5/30 oil.... am going with the 8000 mile intervals specifically to your BMW.
    1
  2844.  @EndlessMoneyPits  btw i had an E36 in the past... but it wasnt burning oil .... had a buddy who had one that burns oil 🤣
    1
  2845. The new oil can vary right from the p[producer. Main thing is viscosity. I rebuilt marine diesels to the tune of over a million dollars each on a 4 engine tug. Viscosity check is run every 4 hours of operation. Fuel dilution monitored that way. Bottom line thin oil is worst than dirty oil. Car engines are built very poor. They are designed to fail at a certain number of hours. So are built with better parts just to show some of that model car still on the road. It is just a big game. But if you keep rest of car in shape a new engine is much cheaper that a new car. The electric cars will change all that. The battery costs more than a whole new gasoline car. Greed rules the world. Oil change is cheapest thing to do for engine life.
    1
  2846. I use an oil cooler in my truck. For every 20 deg. F drop in oil temperature, that doubles its life. Or in another way, chemical reactions are doubled with each increase of about 17 deg F.

  2851. Time based (not usage based) is a manipulation to keep income streams consistent to the businesses/manufacturers.
    1
  2852. I dont understand it should be necessary to redline your engine every day. Ok if was a very young driver who wants to show off all the time but I find it strange that an experienced driver who uses the car for general transportation has the need to rev the engine so high every day, also considering fuel consumption.
    1
  2853. j @EndlessMoneyPits  OK thanks, awesome car btw.
    1
  2854. It depends on whether the motor is boosted or not. 15k is ridiculous. Dirty is dirty.
    1
  2855. I will never EVER EVER make change oil with CASTROL ...fuck hidrocraqued base oil , GREEN FLAG to PAO IF NOT MINERAL , or Polyol Ester , Intervals 5000-8000Km better than anything . Push for Ravenol , Extreme, Redline or Amsoil . These are the Quality brands .
    1
  2856. It would be interesting to hear how long a very low mileage driver should change his oil. I generally put less than 2500 miles a year on my truck and change it once per year. I do use Mobil 1 oil filters that claim they are good for a year and Mobil 1 full synthetic.
    1
  2857. Did you use 1/4 inch or 3/8 racthet drive and extensions
    1
  2858. In the UK, i used to get the oil changed once a year, every 20000 miles or so. I now moved to Canada and they want me to change the oil every 5000 km, Hahaha.
    1
  2859. I make ~2000 miles a year so I change it once every 1.5-2 years.
    1
  2860. How about 12month oil change recomendation ? If i change oil one time in 24 month ?
    1
  2861. Even if the oil can hold up on a molecular level the oil still gets really dirty after a few thousand miles. I never go more than 4-5 thousand miles.

  2867. Thank you! This is my project tomorrow.
    1
  2868. I want to see you get the screws out. That bike never had a fluid change or oil. 😂
    1
  2869. Do you change oil every 6000km or every 12000km as the manual suggests? Also do you change oil filter every time you change the oil or one time you do oil filter and oil and the other just replace the oil and keep the same filter?
    1
  2870. Those quick splice connectors are utter garbage, especially where they are exposed to the elements
    1
  2871. Will you do the remote coding ? Did you know how to code the E93 combox retrofit ?
    1
  2872. Great video. Odd that 16,000 km has issues, is it LL-01 rated? If not try Penzoil euro as I think Castrol lost their LL01 rating, I’ve switched to Penzoil which is also affordable
    1
  2873.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yes thank you. I would use the castrol because it was affordable and llo1 but Penszoil has taken its place, it goes on sale here in Canada and is the same price as the castrol was I’ve done 16,000km with my N52 and n55 with no issues and they leak from the pan so I have to top off Do you have the same issue and thereby putting new oil occasionally?
    1
  2874.  @EndlessMoneyPits  that is amazing considering the mileage and how hard you drive it. Nothing is made better mechanically than a BMW in-line 6 especially considering the performance
    1
  2875. Could this be adapted to use drivers for a j2534?
    1
  2876. It all depends on the car, the driving habits and weather! if you idle your engine a lot you gotta change the oil more often.
    1
  2877. If the oil you're buying is guaranteed for 10k miles, you should send in the data analysis for 10k mile interval vs the 7500 and get your money back lol.
    1
  2878. A few comments/questions 30.1 mpg! Fair play for an M52 redlined every day…Makes me think my 325i knock sensor needs replacing. 2. Can you explain the comment about ‘if good oil pressure and no knocking resample in 5k miles’ what’s the relevance of knocking here? 3. Did you use the same oil throughout? Cheers
    1
  2879. Should have decreased mileage to 3000 miles!!!

  2880. great video！

  2881. My car tells me when to change my oil

  2885. Exstremely Do not advise use of any Casrtol... See properly oil with all BMW spec. + change oil every 4000 miles. And, of course change filter(s) every time.
    1
  2886. for instance my e90 bmw with the n55 motor has a MHD tune on it with the xHP trans tune my car is pushing around 360hp, it has 151k miles on it and I'm changing the oil about every 2k miles. Not sure if this is too soon but I find it safer for my engine. If anyone can input on this would appreciate it!

  2895. Thank u
    1
  2896. I agree with your statement and it is my philosophy anyway. Oil cheap and engines & transmissions are expensive. So is the labor involved. Engines every 6 months and trans. every 30k miles. As far as I am concerned the best lubricants are just barely good enough.
    1
  2897. Thank you Sir,
    1
  2898. I've always wondered why people think oil ages like bread. It's made of the same stuff that plastics come from. Plastics take years to decay. I wouldn't hesitate to use 10 year old oil from a bottle. I only care about this because my hobby car gets maybe 2k miles a year. I don't want to change it anymore than every 2 years.
    1
  2899. Do you recommend blowing the tank with compressed air to get the oil out? or does it damage the internals? thanks!

  2903. My pleasure and thank you . Here's something interesting: When I first became a mechanic back in the 70s the Recommended interval for changing oil for all cars was either every 3,000 or 5,000 miles I can't remember which. One day a salesman showed up from Amsoil with a newfangled oil filter. He said (Now this is a direct quote and I don't know if it's true or not) " The oil still has enough lubricating properties to be used up to 7,000 miles, But the reason they recommended Oil change interval is 3,000 miles is because of the contaminants that build up, not that the oil has lost its lubricating properties' He went on to say: With His company's new fangled oil filter That was supposedly way better than standard oil filter and with the new fangled oil they were selling that it was possible to not have to change your oil for up to 7,000 miles. This kind of ties in with what the gentleman below is saying about the contaminants being abrasive and causing wear. My thought is and again I'm very cynical: Car manufacturers are telling the public that they don't need to change their oil Is just a selling point and the truth is that: if they change their oil more often their engine would last longer Which would be bad for them since they cars with last longer. Here's a funny story: I have a 77 Toyota pickup that has 790,000 miles on it, Original motor, original transmission. (It's been through about seven clutches). When I told my buddy about it he said: " I'm sure they fixed that problem!" He's right they have fixed that problem: The new ones don't last that long! Thanks again!  @EndlessMoneyPits

  2906. WOw! 3 years ago! This is a great video! Thank you. For me.., it's a huge help. I just did my oil change at 7500 interval. I used Liqui Moly Special Tech motor oil and a Man Oi filter. I have a 2000 323Ci Convertible. I used to live in Oregon. I miss the green trees, beautiful mountains and friendly people of years ago!! I'll keep this video as it's an excellent reference for me. Looking forward to any other videos you have put out! Thanks, again! Missin the Pacific Northwest. It is Beautimus!

  2907.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I have to keep that private for various reasons. I can tell you that I want out of here. It's a Hell Hole of Corruption. I will look for your videos. I do appreciate the videos you have aired! As a side note: I just discovered that I will have to replace my center bearing on the driveshaft. Have you covered that one? Thanks, again!

  2911. Connector question for dual port cars. First, awesome tutorial and the software install on Windows 11 worked perfectly. On my 1998 E39 I have both ports, the OBD2 and 20 pin round. I don't have the adapter for the 20 pin so I used the OBD2 port. I can only communicate with the engine module and not the Body or Chassis modules. Is this because I'm not using the 20 pin connector?

  2913. Please bare in mind this for cars running U.S. grade fuel.

  2914. Change at 7,500...
    1
  2915. Oil change intervals will vary widely depending on where and how the car is driven. 15000miles is for normal highway use. And I’m confident that it will last this long in this scenario. If you drive the car hard, you should ch he the oil more often. If you do a lot of city driving and/or a lot of idling, you should change the oil more often. If you take your car on track days, you should change your oil more often. And the list goes on… A lot of modern cars will automatically adjust the oil change intervals. Other will specified different intervals depending on the driving condition (pretty sure that BMW specifies a much shorter interval for “severe” use scenarios).
    1
  2916.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Nice :) Yes, European cars go longer between oil change (20 000 miles or 2 years is actually pretty common here) but the oil is specifically designed for it and you need the proper ACEA/manufacturer approved engine oil.
    1
  2917. Coming up to my 8000 mile service soon, ill probably leave it til after winter though, I'll do a cheeky oil change for now. Awesome detailed video man.

  2921. It makes you wonder if dirty filters filter better
    1
  2922. No numbers?? Obviously u will find less wear in an oil that has run half of the lifecycle of a 10k miles oil compared to 5k oil .... On the other side 7500 sample is literally the same as 5k. Which makes it suspicious why the 10k sample is that bad. What happend to part 2? u deleted it?

  2923. Thanks for taking the scientific approach and sharing it with us. Oil change intervals have a wide range of opinions with no proof to back them up.

  2926. First time viewer here and let me tell you, just the channel name made me chuckle. Dear god, we really do spend so much on these heaps of metal haha. Seriously though, the car looks excellent and your approach to the oil interval issue is perfect. Based on the results, maybe hit somewhere around 8750 miles next time? The breaking point has to be somewhere in that range. Can the lab comment on the elevated contents of calcium? Overall their report comment was surprisingly… friendly i guess, like there was another car geek on the other side of the screen haha.

  2937. In Bulgaria, 99% of the drivers will do an oil change every 10 000km ~ 6213 miles. This is like the gold standard. I would like to see a sample at that rate. We also change all the filters on this interval. So we have a fresh air filter, fresh interior filter, and fresh fuel filter (if any) every 10 000km.
    1
  2938. Oil is cheap, engines are not. Don’t be stupid, change your oil at 3k.
    1
  2939. IMHO, if you use premium synthetic oil, here is what I’d do. Because oil change intervals depend of how the vehicle is used. Also, I would recommend checking the dipstick for color/oil consumption at least once a week. If you use the car for HWY miles only, you could likely do over 10K. If you do a mix, but lean towards HWY, you could do 7.5-10K. If you do a mix but lean towards short trips/city driving, I’d change in the 5K range. If you do all short trips, and never really get the engine up to proper operating temperature plus there’s a slight gas smell in your oil, you’d better do 3K changes. If you want to treat your huge investment very well and have it last/be wicked reliable, yeah take the OEM’s recommendation and divide by 2. Or take the time, and spend the money, to do some oil analysis. If I was buying new today, and I keep my rigs to the end, I’d spend the cash for analysis. These blanket oil change intervals OEMs tell people to do are insane.

  2940. I once waited 12k miles to change the oil in my 2013 BMW X5 35i. The mechanic said the oil filter had collapsed. They said the mfg recommended was way too long.

  2944. i drive my car very gently, never hit redline, change it whenever it says to...so far so good, at 135000 miles, no leaks, and it's a dodge dart, manual. owned it since it had 6 miles on it. new clutch , flywheel at about 120000 with new gear oil then too.

  2948. an oil change is about 2 tank of gas for the car on the picture probably just one, and if you do that every 5000 miles (or better yet 3000) your engine will work possible twice as long ... If you can do yourself (I cannot no place) you even spend less also do not believe in the life time oil in you transmission either ... lifetime means it will die with it
    1
  2949. I've been in the 5000 mile oil/filter change camp for many years. Never had a problem. Except for towing a small camping trailer a few thousand miles each year, my vehicles are run easy...no red-lining!
    1
  2950. So, what's the answer to the question in the title?
    1
  2951. i change my oil every 20k, this lie about chsnging you oil more frequently is one of the biggest lies still be told.
    1
  2952. What about the age of the oil, should that be considered? Even when I never hit 5,000 or 7,500 miles in a year, should I do the oil change every 12 months interval? That’s the recommendation I heard once.
    1
  2953. I do oil changes for a living, I personally go by appearanceonce the oil is dark brown and hard to see through it's time, also if you rub it between your finger and thumb you can feel how much viscosity it has. My car goes about 7000 KM, its a turbo v6 , I do spirited driving sometimes as well. Professionally I go by manufacturer spec , by time or mileage, because warrantees etc.
    1
  2954. Does it work With a chain thats already closed? Or do you always need an open chain ?
    1
  2955. I do what the manufacturer tells me on oil change. In my case all my cars were 10.000 miles (15.000 km) or 1 year. This was not enough in the eighties. But now, with the more modern engines, I do not detect engine wear anymore. So, either the engines or the lubricants improved (or both).
    1
  2956. I own an honda civic EG8 with the D15B2. The engine has 302k km and has never been opened with everything stock since bearings to oil pump. I change oil every 5k km kinda just to have the piece of mind. Honda recomends to change every 10k km but since this engine suffers a lof with me with every time I drive it i really push it to the red line. Really liked the video! *using valvoline 10W40 for high mileage engines :D

  2959. 3000 miles oil and filter I think you mentioned you change oil yourself. It is very good cheap insurance
    1
  2960. Sorry David there is one big issue here. The oil used for the 10,000 mile oil change is not the same oil used in the 5,000 mile change and the 7,500 mile oil change. The lack of molly, the old fashioned high calcium content and the low magnesium point this out. I also think the oil viscosity was maybe 5W/40 in the 10,000 mile sample. It is 100% a different oil!

  2961. Incredible video. Super helpful. I'm approaching 30k miles on my '16 500F, and haven't done spark plugs yet. It's definitely time, so this is on my short term to do list now. Thanks again for spending the time and energy to do this vid.

  2964. Decided to look this up because even after going through the owner's and service manuals I felt like they were missing a step or two. Do you really have to replace the whole metal housing, or is there an option to peel the paper filter itself out of there and re-use it?
    1
  2965. It’s crazy how people can just let a vehicle rot away outside and not at least put a cover over it or something. People have no respect for their own things and their own money. It’s a shame to see all the rust on that bike. The XT250 is such a classic, timeless bike and can last forever with very little care.

  2966. Would that work if my battery is low? (10.8V) or do I need to charge it first?

  2967. Try another oil from another manufacturer, ex mobil, i use eneos! Castrol is the most shity oil on market, it should be banned!!!! its made sceialy to be burn!!!! in time he makes some damage in ur engine!!!! Kepp the SAE code but from another manufacturer Ravenol,Mobil 1, Liqui Molly, and so on, just dont use castrol !

  2970. Changing oil by mileage is not really accurate. If I drive across the country on interstates and accumulate 5000 miles the condition of that oil is probably going to be good. If I drive 5000 stop and go miles in a hot dusty area that oil will probably be out of spec. My 2014 GMC 2500hd diesel has an hour meter so I can figure out average speed per mile which is helpful. Most new vehicles will give you average speed which you can use as a factor to determining oil life. Change your air filter to reduce your engine wear.

  2978. I drive my car with 330k km or 200,000 miles on the clock 95% on the open road, it has lpg installed, i change the oil every 15-16k km, 9300-10000 miles, when changing it is just a little darker than the new oil.
    1
  2979. Thanks for your info
    1
  2980. My hypothesis is your 7500 looked better because the 5k change was after the 10k oil drained from engine but not all of it drains. Still have some in head and through engine and pump. So the 7 only looked better because residue oil was terrible before 5k oil. Do another one at 5k and it will be the best one yet or one at 3-4k and it will be stellar

  2981. I'm from Europe, really appreciate you putting kilometer in!

  2982. So, those who say change oil every 10k km seem to be correct.

  2983. I've spent a lot of time searching the Internet for a video like this. We have a 2021 Hyundai Kona that only gets driven about 1000 miles a year - uses the same 5W-30 Synthetic oil (Mobile 1) - I checked the dipstick at one year and the oil appears to look as new as the day of the oil change. Thank you for your time and effort on these videos.

  2985. @EndlessMoneyPits  they are cheap and useful but I was being silly, that's a digital caliper not a micrometer. That said micrometers are pretty cheap too. I just did an oil change and reused the aluminium crush washer, couldn't believe how much it leaked but I think it had been reused many times. Ordered a kit and will be replacing them on everything every time now.

  2986. What is a binding link? And how can I identify one?

  2987.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for your reply. I'm a total bike noob. What could happen if the chain is very loose? I can hear slapping/smacking/tapping sound while I'm riding. This is mainly when accelerating and it sounds like its coming from the area of my chain, I can't check exactly what causes it while I'm riding.
    1
  2988.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Ty. So at 2:30, you checked the tension. I just did mine and the chain goes all the way to the top and touches the swing arm and could probably go a bit more if the swing arm wasn't there. Is this dangerous to ride with?

  2990. I have a 2012 Honda Fit and the manufacturer recommends 10,000 miles oil change intervals. So far I don’t have any problems since I drive less than 10,000 miles a year.
    1
  2991. I always follow a 5k mile or 12 month OCI on all of my cars. I own 7 cars so many of them don't even get driven 5k miles in a year. I've never liked longer oil change intervals. I do my own oil changes and oil changes are cheap, engines are not. And for the $5 it costs me for an OEM oil filter I'll change it every time. I just watched a video with the engineer that designed and built the Nissan GTR, he's retired now, and recommended changing the oil every 3-4k miles is always better. Doing oil changes sooner and using a synthetic oil is better than paying more money for expensive oil and doing a longer OCI he said. This is from his many years building this impressive engine and tearing them down to look at wear. Food for thought. I've also seen that many say the oil testing is good information but doesn't tell the whole story.

  2995. 5k
    1
  2996. Not changing the filter between 5k and 7.5k unnecessarily diminished the validity of the results
    1
  2997. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits is it still good at 10k?
    1
  2998. No comment is made as to the micron removal size of the oil filter. Talking with oil chem. engineers, oil can be filtered down to 5 microns without damaging the oil. Why not have a 3 stage oil filter to take out those metal particles. Also, with good maintenance, the more miles, the less metal contamination.
    1
  2999. I changed the oil when my dash lite up and says oil change in a month and start counting backwards.
    1
  3000. Excellent, thanks. I got my 1987 BMW 325e Coupe, with the M20 2.7L 'Eta' engine, up to roughly 350k miles. When I finally sold that car, it was going strong and still using about 1 quart of 20W50 oil each 1,500 miles, same as it did when I bought it at at about 200k miles. Not bad, especially considering that I was using Walmart house-brand conventional oil. I changed it every 5,000 miles. I used that car the same way as you, and I took really good care of it. I wasn't doing anything weird with the viscosity, the factory recommended that heavy oil for those engines - and it obviously worked.
    1
  3001. Your videos are great thank you
    1
  3002. So after all of this is said and done, after them telling you to shorten the interval, their final conclusion was to go back to the extended interval? Sure, keep throwing money at it! (LOL)

  3003. I use 10w40 in a very hot city for a diesel engine sometimes i went up to 25k miles without oil change nothing happenes

  3004. Oil breaks down is the worlds biggest marketing lie. In fact it never breaks down. It only becomes less effective over use because it’s filling up with dirt. I could get 100 people that change their oil early and tell them this and guess what, all 100 would still change it early. I think it just makes people feel good. I suggest you simply laugh at them and go buy some oil company stock. Ever wonder what the oil change interval is on a aircraft turbine engine? It’s NEVER! There isn’t one. Why? Because the oil doesn’t get dirty from internal combustion. And it sure in the f—-ck doesn’t break down. When the oil becomes contaminated with high levels of metal, then you rebuild the engine, not change the oil.

  3008. In a nutshell, if it becomes necessary to have an oil change, after having driven a certain number of miles, then commonsense tells me that healthier cleaner oil is good for the engine, & it's associating accessories.! (SO,) how then can it be bad for any car to have an oil change, every three to four months, or four to five months.! Is it better for a person to take a shower twice a week, or six times per week.? I bought a 2013 hyundai genesis sedan, in July of 2022.! I changed the oil after about five days of purchase.! I was surprised to see how dirty the oil was.! It was jet black.! I changed the oil again after about another month, & the oil was again still very dirty.! Being dissatisfied at this observation, i made a decision to change the oil again, & did so.! To date, i have changed the oil five times, between July 2022, & April of 2023.! At the last oil change in April of 2023, i bought & used a bottle of ATS505 CRO oil system treatment.! I poured the entire bottle of liquid into the car's oil. filler tube, before releasing the old oil.! I ran the engine for about 20 minutes, steadily at about 3000rpms & then let it idle for another 2 minutes.! I then shut the engine down opened the hood, removed the oil filler cap, & dipstick,& let the engine cool down.! After about 2 hours, i drained the oil, & could smell the contents of the ATS 505CRO in the oil in the pan.! When i removed the oil filter cap, i observed that the rubber ring which was originally red in colour, had become black, & had been coated with what i concluded to b carbon.! Having drained the oil, i then opened a fresh bottle of 5/30 oil, & poured about half the content into the oil filler tube to purge out what little bit of old oil that might still b in the pan.! Having cleaned the oil filter cap & the entry port properly with carb cleaning spray, i installed the new oil filter & rubber ring on the cap, secured same properly, & loaded 6 bottles of fresh 5/30 oil.! This was done in April of 2023.! I have been checking the state of the oil on the dipstick from time to time since.! It is now late july 2023, & i am satisfied to see how clean the oil still is after 3 months of driving.! I took the advice of Scotty Kilmer about the ATS505 CRO, in one of his videos, & used the product.! It truly did clean the engine significantly, & i do believe it also cleaned out carbon from the pistons, as was evident on the rubber o/ring on the oil filter cap.! I further observed how much more quiet the engine sounds after the oil has circulated when the engine is running.! ( THANK U SCOTTY.!) I took ur advice about ATS 505 CRO, & i am satisfied with the results.! 👍👍👍👍👍r

  3031. I always change the oil on my Saab 9-3 TurboX each 10.000km or each year even if i don't reach that milleage. It's obvious we're not talking about the same engine, but clean oil will never hurt your engine. People tend to say it's a waste of money changing it so often or if the car hasn't had almost any milleage but i disagree. If you want to care for a car that will last, changing oil often is youur best asset.

I noticed that the Ninja 400 air filter is pretty hard to change, as it requires the removal of the fuel tank. Honda seems to do things a lot smarter, with practicality in mind.

  3050. Have you ever heard a technician tell you, your engine needs to be sandblasted with nuts, taken apart or parts replaced, because you changed oil and filter too often? Never. But just how many engines and gearboxes have been wrecked by not changing oil enough? Countless! It is not just about if oil can still lubricate or not. With modern engines, wear and tear is only have of it. The other half is how dirty your engine is from the inside. When all the carbon and other filth is all around piston rings, intake valves, top of cylinder and as collections of goo all around the metal parts elsewhere, any sample of oil you drain can be good. If only all the dirt was there within oil, but it is not. Manufacturer specified oil change interval is the minimum required so they do not void your warranty. Around 5000 miles is how often technicians suggest you do it and how often they themselves tend to do it for their own cars. Oil change interval depends on your driving habits and climate too. During winters oil collects moisture especially if you drive short trips. Short trips in general are bad for engines, so that alone should be a reason to change oils more frequently.

  3051. AS a Quality assurance quality control inspector for theUS Military in Iraq Here is what I found, The military tests the oil, they used an oil in vehicles and Generators supplied by a US company temperatures ambient temps reached 60C, oil testing said the oil was still good, what it did not show was how much of the oil turned to coke and blocked the oil pump pick up screen. engine failures on new equipment were taking place, regardless of what testing showed I had the generator service team change the oil & Filter per the equipment supplier and regular cleaning of radiators of desert sand and dust and no more failures, also to note the oil supplied was not new fresh oil but used oil picked up from Gas stations cleaned and new additives added. All non synthetic as posted on the drums. If it was my choice fresh synthetic would be the only choice. Use a good Synthetic and follow the owners manual and always you the best filter you can buy.

  3055. M52 Engine for the win! I have an E36 320i M52B20 and the thing doesn't stop working XD Of course I care for the engine. Every max. 10000km I make an oil change and always with an oil filter replacement.

  3057. I remember when I had my 95 Miata,I always made sure I change my oil yearly.since I never was able to do more than 5500km. Also the car did burn some oil So I used to add about 1 liter in that yearly period. To be honest I should have kept the filter lol...but it was 20$ and I didn't wanna cheap out. I was always worried about the cold -20 start ups in the morning because I used to daily drive it here in Europe. What I remember was that after the one year mark my hydraulic lifters would start making noise,even if the oil level is to the top.thats when I realized it's not about the miles (in my scenario) it's just the time degrades the oil...so I don't know my dad's Mercedes ml270 diesel made 15,000km yearly,but he changed his oil around the 11,500 and 13,000 mark,because most of his driving was highway in Europe at low rpm...he drove like this for 150,000km And since it's a turbo diesel,the engine to this day the car is from 2005 doesn't burn ANY oil (or if it does it's 200ml) maximum and it's not noticeable on the dipstick. My Mazda was used for drifting in winter and I guess the age and the wear of that engine did show... But do note some cars,have VVTI like Toyota,BMW has vanos,some engine like thin oils,and some are big like V8 NA engines,those are bulletproof,if you try this test on older engine it would show even better result. A big engine with low horse power is what makes a reliable engine

  3061.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Way of the future my friend.

  3062.  @EndlessMoneyPits  you inspired me to change the oil on my W124 ‘94 E220 Benz coupe after 7,500km (5000 miles). Oil was dark n dirty due to start stop daily driving transporting clients. There was absolutely no way I would wait until the recommended 18,000km next service interval by dealer mechanic. I always do oil n filter change mid service, but NOW, I’ll make it every 6,000km. Oil bottle was cheap $18 Castrol 15W40 semi synthetic and $11 oil filter. It’s satisfying taking care of our vehicles ✅ our cars are like time capsules are with so few on the road it affords us unique exclusivity. Happy beaming in your Beamer!

  3063. What about someone who has a motorhome and drives it less than 1,000 miles a year. How often should they change the oil?
    1
  3064.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks for the reference. Good info!!
    1
  3065. I do 10,000 km and change the oil and filter bang on that figure. Oil to the car is like blood in your body.
    1
  3066. I just don't see any advantage over stock filter. Especially not for the price. Hardly a cold air intake, at idle or traffic it will suck in hot engine air same as stock. These air systems are a gimmick
    1
  3067.  @EndlessMoneyPits  factory is almost same CFM as the kits, same location. Venting hot air is better option in my opinion , only a fully enclosed airbox with external intake would add horsepower over standard system . These kits are purely cosmetic. Did you test on Dyno? I just can't justify the cost on these kits
    1
  3068.  @EndlessMoneyPits  my point is, manufacturer call them cold air systems, but they are not. It's using the same air intake position as stock ( well on my C4 anyway ) I understand on a track car or drag car but a non turbo daily driver, purely cosmetic Air flows the same , and you can add K&N filter to stock . I've seen these kits go for as much as $600

  3076. chock your wheels mate. great video.
    1
  3077. Driving conditions are a big factor that must be considered. If you drive gravel and dusty roads , oil will obviously get dirty faster. Also, let’s not forget that air filter. A clean air filter will keep the oil cleaner longer, help mileage and efficiency. These greater mileages between oil changes should not be done with conventional motor oil unless you want increased oil consumption as the vehicle ages., Me? I’m on 4000 mile oil change intervals because I drive in a dusty climate and I run synthetic in everything except my 54 yr old Dodge
    1
  3078. Such a foolish discussion, changing oil is so inexpensive, keep it clean and don't think about the money!
    1
  3079. My 97 bmw e39 has the m52 engine, I always changed the oil along with a quality oil filter every 3k-3500 miles and my engine currently sits with 380k miles on the clock , still runs and pulls strong. Meanwhile my gm box took a dump at 143k miles, replaced it with another remanufactured gm box and that one seems to be on its last leg, looking into swapping with a 6 speed soon, but the m50-m54 engines seems to last forever if taken care of…

  3081. I had a Lexus RX400h for 8 years, 65k miles and changed the oil 3 times (about every 20k miles) - never missed a beat. So what does that tell us? Anyone on here admit to long oil changes and has had an engine fail because of it?
    1
  3082. @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for response. Unfortunately not. May just have to call a mobile mechanic tomm
    1
  3083. I'd like to see a second 10,000 mile test. The difference between the original 10k and 7500 seems extreme for only 2500 extra miles. I have a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T that I change oil (Mobil 0-40 and Mann filter) every 10k. It now at 235,000 miles. I never need to top up the oil within that mileage although it's close to MIN after starting at MAX, so around 1 quart lost over 10k. Evidence suggests that at least some, if not most, of that is lost in external leakage rather than burnt. As for the comment on mechanics recommended oil changes, I would never trust such an opinion, largely perpetuated on hear'say rather than any scientific analysis. When I first moved to the US from UK, I was shocked that drivers were still changing their oil every 3-5k because that's what their dads had always done, and their dads before them. I've only ever done 10k oil changes on any car, even with regular non-synth oil, and never had any engine or related failure despite running several cars beyond 1/4 million miles, and rarely doing so gently.

  3089. I’m no engineer but it seems to me it’s the type of driving that is most important. After two years your Water % is 0.0. Are a lot of your miles on the highway, or at least often driven enough to thoroughly heat the oil to evaporate the water? A 7,500 mile/ 2 yr oil change with10 or 20 mile trips would probably heat the oil enough to evaporate the oil, but a 7,500 mile/ 2 yr oil change with short trips where the oil doesn't sufficiently warm would probably accumulate a significant amount of water. One can’t change oil too often, but if not changed enough the damage done can’t be reversed. I probably overdo it with 6 mo/ 5,000 mi (usually 5,000 miles comes first) oil and filter changes using Mobile 1 Extended Performance and factory oil filters (no more expensive than aftermarket premium oil filters). Like you say, oil is cheap, engines are expensive.
    1
  3090.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thanks for the reply. In looking at a lot of comments it looks to me like most people believe it's time and/or miles that most affects oil longevity. It would be interesting to see test results, Water % in particular for an engine having extended oil intervals with short trips, 1 to 2 miles, where the engine oil never comes close to temperature. I suspect water in the oil would quickly use up some of the additives and quickly accelerate formation of acids, sludge, etc.

I have a question I have the same problem but i got one of them but it wont work for me I was wandering if you can show me the connections There is only 2 ping from regulator the one with blue it split in to two one to the ig key can you send me the diagram you use please Thank you

  3103. Recommendation, treat any rust with naval jelly or equivalent and paint. For all rubber, treat with 303. Curious to know if you could feel or notice any difference in ride. Good job and thanks for sharing.

  3104. In the last sample your or is showing signs of viscosity increase, fuel dilution, and additive depletion. This along with a small (but significant) increase in bearing wear. Flash point confirms fuel dilution which at 0.5% says there is about 200 ml of fuel in the oil. Now this amount should also show up a []s reduced 40C viscosity, but you have an increased viscosity which is the result of oxidative thickening over time. The antioxidant (Molybdenum metal based) is depleted significantly. In fact, there is really no antioxidant capacity from the additive, left in that sample, so continued use will be detrimental. The reported Calcium increase, would normally have me asking for a retest and confirmation. I have lost count of the number of oil analysis I have diagnosed during my working life (now retired) but it must have been in the millions. Hope this helps.

  3105. I do 1 year or 10k km I feel that more is harmfull and less is overkill

  3106. I live in the UK so completely different driving conditions, but my cars have done fine on annual major services, for me about 12000 miles. It would take me 20 years to put 250k on an engine, by which time everything else on the car would be falling apart.

  3107. May b u should back down on the r s
    1
  3108. 3k or 3 months for me period, oil and filters are cheap, also it's like a mini check up to see the oil and filter just in case to catch something sooner. I'll spend the extra few bucks a year than risk it; too much complexity as an engine age and infinite cycles of thousands of moving parts to base a conclusion on a single study of a single vehicle given by a single person using it. But that's my though on the subject.

  3112. I visit these type of videos from time to time. I change oil every 15,000 - 30,000 miles. I use the highest quality of manufacturer recommended oil viscosity I can get So on "gasoline" vans, i have had 2 dodges with a 5.2 at 600,000 miles on 15-30k intervals. Walmart synthetic (ya, but they were Dodges. Retired due to rust not engine) 1 sprinter on Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0w40. 913,000 still starts immediately even when sitting for months 2 Ford E350 diesels, one retired at 1,000,000 miles due to body looseness, still getting 21 mpg Other E350 diesel retired at 900,000 due to diesel price increase Shell Rotella NON SYNTHETIC 15w40 minimim 30,000 mile intervals. 16 quart capacity Current E250 "gasoline" 4.6, 15,000-30,000 intervals Pennzoil Pure Platinum 352,000 trouble free miles so far Is there a point? I average just under 300,000 miles a year, and 15,000 - 30,000 mile interval hasn't affected me one bit as I've never experienced an engine failure. Use the best oil sure, but you can have a GREATER impact by buying a reliable engine platform to begin with. 5000 mile oil changes in my case are equal to or more expensive than changing an engine. None of you will notice a difference whatever the interval with a quality oil. You don't drive enough. Waste of money, buy good oil and filters, stop thinking about it

  3115. The o rings already installed new parts ??

  3116. Just my opinion, but I'd stick with the 7,500 mile interval, but would definitely change the filter every time. That's very cheap insurance.
    1
  3117. It's not only about the lubricity. It's also about the dissolved chemicals resulting from blow-by. Oil filters do not remove chemicals. Just particles. So, for me, I use full synthetic and change my oil and filter every 5,000 miles or annually, whatever comes first -- BEFORE any degradation in lubricity. Your "best results" resulted from using a partially clogged filter as a super-filter. Better that you simply change oil and filter every 5,000 miles. Stop red-lining your engine. Excess wear for no good reason.

  3118. Gotta replace hoses on my 04 but no running water lol

  3119. WIth a BMW, oil change intervals would be the least of my concern. THings like alternators, water pumps, struts, wheel bearings, and oil leaks just off the top of my head are going to be bigger concerns at that mileage. Gotta be a $1000 cover charge just to drive into a BMW dealership LOL! I used to own a VW and the only non dealership place I could get to work on it was one that specialized in German cars.
    1
  3120. The type of driving you do is just as important to oil life as the number of miles driven. I'd guess you do a lot of open-road miles and spend little time in a stop-and-go urban environment. Supposedly one mile of urban driving is the equivalent of three miles highway driving, in terms of oil and engine wear.

  3124. Hey great video. Used it to install my lights and harness. So got an issue with interior lights after vette light install. Did the rear sidemarkers tail lights abd 5 th brake light. So my issue is that the interior lights stay on after car is turned off. If i turn car off and open door then close it the interior ights turn off but if i open door again and close it the lights on the rear view mirror stay on. Drained my battery. So is this an issue with lights hyper flash or something else? Would those lights staying on be caused from the oem lights in interior and not havinf the led interior ones?

  3128. Are You Changing Oil Too Often ?? NO !! i never change my oil and my last car run for more than 230'000 Miles without any Problem. I change the Oilfilter each 40'000 Miles and thats it !! My car Renault Megane 1.6L gasoline.

  3130. Calcium is not present, because your bearing material is gone. The bearing material is called calcium babit.

  3131. My owners manual calls for oil changes every 3k miles under heavy use which includes long idling or short tripping

  3132. If you drive in town alot it's harder on your engine! I try not to go more than 6000 miles no matter what I use!

  3133. Since you bought it 14 years ago, too bad you did not do the Blackstone testing every year, to compare to now. But, 7 k miles seems pretty good in regards to getting your money's worth from oil.

  3134. Volkswagen Passat 1,9 tdi. I use Castrol Edge Turbo diesel oil and change it after 15000 km. Oil + filter cost ~60€. Low price for keeping engine running smooth. 350000 miles driven and works fine.
    1
  3135. Good quality synthetic oil. Every 8-10000km or Every 6 months MINIMUM! beyond that and your basically helping the manufacturer sell you a new car as soon as the warranty is over. Because thats all they care about. Keep the maintenance costs to a minimum instead of the best practice. Change it more often if it sees severe duty. (Racing/track, taxi service, high idle time, towing often)

  3140. Definitely the best video on removing the 5.2L CPS. However, I'm still stuck on plug, as it does not appear to be accessible from below. The cable is only 12", so the connector must be close to the distributer. 🙄
    1
  3141. Funny thing is, I bought a used Honda a few years back that came with two free oil changes within the first 12 months. I took it in at 5,000 miles and they refused to do the oil change because the manufacturer recommends 10,000. Now that a year has passed and I have to pay for oil changes the same service advisor tells me that if I want the engine to last I should ignore the manufacturer recommendation and change it every 5,000 miles! I usually get about 300,000 miles out of my cars without engine problems regardless how often I change the oil.
    1
  3142. How often were your oil changes before this experiment?
    1
  3143. Thanks for the review, very cool insights! One thing I am wondering about. How fast does it brighten up? Entering a dark tunnel from a bright road, will the visor brighten fast enough?
    1
  3144.  @EndlessMoneyPits  At least check it. You'll get a good clue as to its function by just removing the oil filler cap while the engine is running.
    1
  3145. You mentioned not to lose the spring when removing the filter. I assume the spring goes on the outside of the filter?
    1
  3146. Can't this be done without removing the fairings or other caps, lids etc? I can see and reach almost all of the drain bolts and radiator cap without removing anything (of course its harder but doesn't seem impossible). What are your thoughts? one more thing. wouldn't it be possible to drain the whole anti-freeze only by opening the bottom drain bolt and radiator cap then flushing the system with garden hose, then adding some concentrate antifreze?
    1
  3147.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I'll try to flush the coolant without removing the coolant. If I can, I'll let you know. Hope I can because I pretty sure that I would break the fairing while removing it. Thank you for your reply :)

  3152. I'm an old school from the 80s and we have done oil changes every 3k. I heard 5k is ok but no oil will be good pAst that much abuse beyond that many miles or certain aging IMO

  3153. I appreciate it brother. I’ve got a 2017 that’s been sitting in a garage for 2 years. Going to flush out the coolant, brake fluid, gas (of course), clean up the chain, and anything else that comes up as important lol. I appreciate the video
    1
  3154.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Will do. I’ll do an inspection and see how it rides. They are still inflated to the right psi, surprisingly but I’ll still pay attention to any potential low spots and change the tires if I need to. Lucky to live in the great state of Florida and have the ability to ride all year long. Safe travels, brother!

  3159.  @EndlessMoneyPits  these cars are reaching the age where changing oxygen (aka O2, aka AF Ratio, aka air fuel ratio) sensors is needed. Youtube doesn't have many (any that I could find) quality videos on changing those. There are 4 and finding and getting to them apparently isn't obvious.

  3160. Please, I need to ask you. You say you have 300,000 miles in the car or so Please tell me how many engines transmissions other components you’ve done and that much time 🙏

  3162. Cam across your video - best on the net so far :-) The 5K analysis is quite surprising. Joining to another earlier comment - is there a chance to try a 5K one more time? Just in case there were leftower from the previous 10K run sediments.

  3167. The reason for your results is the type of oil, full synthetic. This wouldnt be true with semi or mineral

  3170. Hey man, having an issue with my 95 5.2, it runs nice and I have no codes but when I turn or let the RPMs get low, it just shuts down, starts right back up though. Any ideas? Changed out plugs and the PCV might be thinking it’s a Crank sensor but it could also be this or the TPS, not 100% sure
    1
  3171.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yeah for sure, I’m thinking it’s probably a vacuum leak especially since it really only shuts off when there’s extra load and after it comes down from revving up

  3177. Oil should lubricate a lot longer than the time it takes to clog and bypass oil filter

  3178. 7500 seems like the sweet spot. Car still looks good.
    1
  3179. No such thing as changing your oil too often! If you plan on keeping your car only through the powertrain warranty, then follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you plan on keeping the car for 10+ years, then change the oil every 6 months or 5K miles or be prepared to eventually have oil consumption issues!
    1
  3180. Old BMW engines are so much better than any modern sheit. My n54 which is very well maintained (German) not the American way and it still leaks everywhere wihout even being driven hard. It now had 200k km and i switched to 5w40 to reduce the leaking.

  3184. @seanpatullo8919 You have already purchaed it. So, only thing you can do is that regular oil change per km or time. Don't delay oil change too long such as 10 - 12 months. Change oil before 10 months even if very low km. Never use engine flush stuff. I had a Lexus gs430, did engine flush twice. Over 160,000km, oil leaking! The flush fluid did harm to the gaskets!
    1
  3185.  @EndlessMoneyPits  hahaha yeah Bernat and I are always happy to see your comments. I watch all your e46 videos and shorts. Our budget is pretty limited though, but we have an abundance of time. We both recently quit our jobs and studies to work in garage and make content

  3186. oh man, i dont know what to do.... suzuki manual literally says "do not use kerosene, gasoline, etc" but i see so many videos of people using it on chains with orings. Just damaged my chain orings using petroleum and i dont want to damage orings again on the new chain... i really dont know what to do, wanted a cheap way to keep it clean
    1
  3187. Please don't let your service light come on stay ahead of it. 5,000 miles is good to change your oil.
    1
  3188. The golden rule is 10k km or ~6500 miles. Stick to that with quality manufacturer spec oil and the engine will outlive the car.
    1
  3189. Every 5000 km or every 4 months. Engine runs smooth. Sometimes, I keep the oil filter, if low mileage between the oil changes, but I never keep it twice in a row.
    1
  3190. i just did this today, what a bitch getting the dash back together.
    1
  3191. I do 5k mile oil changes on my E39 or one year. Synthetic oil is cheap. I know how to change my oil. Why screw around? On my Mercedes I change it even more often. I only use Mobil 1 Euro spec. 23yrs of owning my E39 and one radians one water pump. Not a drop of oil ever leaked.
    1
  3192. From everything I've seen the regular oil changes are less about removing particulates and more about reducing carbon buildup in the very thin piston rings most engines use nowadays to meet emission standards. Seems like this is universally the final failure point that results in a car needing an engine rebuild or short block replacement, which usually means the death of the car. At what mileage this happens seems to be entirely dependent on how often the oil is changed. If the engines were built with thicker, stiffer piston rings I would wager that most people's engines would last 300,000+ miles and people who really keep up with maintenance would regularly see over 500,000.
    1
  3193. Now all you have to do is to collect data on the engine failure vs oil contaminant levels.
    1
  3194. 5 minute job my ass. I’m out here for an hour still trying to figure out what to do. The screw isn’t grabbing on to anything
    1
  3195. What’s there to thread into once you u pull the original out? Like you had an adapter… where can we get one, or does the vehicle already come with one?
    1
  3196. I just pulled the carpet back in the trunk on the passenger side, and disconnected my motor. Still get great reception, but I use a Bluetooth transmitter in my C5. Also my power antenna works I replaced the mast a few weeks ago it just looks dated as hell when it's up.
    1
  3197. I like the series you've done, and what you're trying to evaluate. As a long-time manager of multiple fleets, including heavy equipment in addition to on-road pickups, SUVs, and cars, you really should use a different lab. BS Labs are very nice people, and I choose to believe they mean well, but the numbers will be just as accurate if you throw darts at a dart board. Witness your 10k mile report, which was flagrantly obviously either massively off, or a sample of a different engine oil altogether, but neither they nor you recognized it. Plus, BS doesn't test for fuel. They simply 'infer' it from the flash point, but they don't do a good job of that. Look for a lab that tests fuel via GC, or at a bare minimum a closed-cup test, if you want to know how much fuel is in the lube.
    1
  3198. Yes, that's one of the reasons I said what I did about the reliability of their numbers. You'll have to spend somewhat more in order to get solid numbers, GC fuel measurement, and the like. If you're happy with the reliability you get from BS, there are many options that will be equal in that regard but cost you much less.
    1
  3199. Names of other labs? LabOne, Polaris, and TestOil come immediately to mind as alternatives that will deal with individual automobile owners on some level. ALS does or has done the work for various of the major oil companies' branded testing programs, if you want to go through your local distributor(s). Lots of Caterpillar equipment dealers used to have oil analysis labs on-site. I don't know whether that's common any more. You'd have to call and ask some. Oil analysis isn't really aimed at nor particularly useful to individual car owners, so not every place will be particularly 'welcoming' to hobbyists.
    1
  3200. No. Do it more often
    1
  3201. The better quality synthetics say right on the label, 20,000 miles GUARANTEED protection, that's where I've always changed the oil and filter on all my vehicles for the last 20 years and I have never had an engine problem, most of them were close to 300,000 miles and I gave them away ( because nobody will buy anything with that many miles)
    1
  3202. You’re all wrong!!! I never change my oil !!! Didn’t open the hood on my Accord for 2 years 280k and it ran great! I’ve had multiple cars over 300k. Your completely delusional about changing oil!
    1
  3203. Here in the UK we do oil changes once a year or 15,000 miles. Never had any problems over the last 25 years and eight BMWs.
    1
  3204. Thanks for the video mate. I'm from Brazil and there is a common sense to change our oils every 5000km if the vehicle is used most in cities and high traffics, otherwise we can change at 10,000km. It's nice to see that this km will be fine. But here exist also some buddies saying that we must change our motorcycles oils every 1000~2000km - for me, this is too insane.

  3205.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I think I understand what you mean.. so basically the program HAS to live on the desktop with all its files? Seems strange. I have a feeling the installation was somehow incomplete. Some of the files said were "not synched" in windows 10.. I will try to reinstall
    1
  3206.  @EndlessMoneyPits  it worked after reinstall!💪.. I think the problem was I didn't install to C:/ but installed to what came up first which was the ec-apps folder in downloads instead of switching it to C:/ .. thanks a bunch! Much appreciated. 🙇‍♂️
    1
  3207.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks. Except it's not telling me too much more then I already knew from my p1093(236) fuel trim in bank 2.. Likely cats as I replaced everything over the years trying to hunt this code down. But no cat codes. Back to the forums I go.
    1
  3208. What I don't get is that I saw same cars, same year and engine and one is bought in Germany, other in Croatia, booth part of EU, but oil change intervals were different 15 000 km in Germany and 30 000 km here in Croatia, that is double?! I wonder how do they know milage from analysing oil, next time do not write that data.
    1
  3209. Bring Money Withyou, I know every car is different, but there's a general consensus on NA cars to change the oil every 7500 miles. Use only 100% Synthetic Oil with a premium oil filter for ultimate protection. There's no need for Snake Oil additives ever. Changing it sooner is just Placebo as noted by the lab results. Changing it later, and you're increasing wear due to oil break down.

  3213. Mine looks the same way as his did on same side when he pulled into the garage.
    1
  3214. lol If you've been doing 15K oil changes, 300K is a bit late to be concerned. Those oil samples often indicate you can extend oil change intervals longer than factory recommendations when the engine is new then more often when the engine has been damaged. Given their cost, regular tests might cost as much as simply changing oil more often than the idiot light suggests. There are other considerations outside of engine wear, such as the turbo and other components. I change oil at about 1/3 less time than recommended... about $50 a year. Over the next 12 years that'll be about $600 vs $5,000 for a new engine, if still available. I'll take the gamble, but each to his own.

  3215. valve seals yeeep😂😂😂

  3216.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yeah but it is what it is at this point 😅. I haven’t worn it in like a month now because of my ear but luckily enough my wife has the Arai quantum x and it doesn’t hurt my ears but just a lil loose around the forehead area due to it being round oval shape. I was looking into maybe getting the AGV K6 or the Shoei X14 but the Shoei X15 should be coming out soon so I wanna wait on that one.
    1
  3217. I highly recommend getting something like what I have. It’s an nfl licensed brimless cap made of thin polyester/under armor type material which I believe would be used for football helmets as well. It just covers the top of my ears which makes 100% difference when putting the helmet on and off. When trying the helmet on in store, it was absolutely painful taking it on and off, but they didn’t have the gloss black k6 agv so I just went with the rf-1400 because of the color. luckily had this lying around from my paintball days and it had worked wonders as well as providing an extra layer to keep the protective foam that much cleaner
    1
  3218.  @nyashnader1  I’ve thought about that. My ears are all healed now but I also bought a new helmet. I ended up getting a Arai quantum x and it’s perfect. I still like the Shoei but I’m not risking putting it back on for now 😂
    1
  3219. BMW recommends 15k because they covered oil changes under the warranty. So of course they chose the highest interval. Same for the “lifetime “ automatic fluid. When the TM fails, that’s the lifetime…🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ My stage 1 supercharged e46 330, with a daily brief fun on the highway during the week, Blackstone recommended 9k.

  3223. This new 7,500 mile oil sample is similar to the previous 7,500 mile sample with regard to additives. The original 5,000 mile sample has a slightly different base setup. It is interesting to see the flash point in the new sample is very similar to the 10,000 mile sample which had different set of constituents. It appears there is one machine at at the lab is out of kilter with the other machine and that this unit was used on the 10,000 mile sample and the new 7,500 mile sample.
    1
  3224. A better system of checking would have been to use a sampling plug and test the same oil as the mileage increases.

  3229. Scotty Kilmer proved right. He says, leave no oil in the engine for longer than 7500 miles.
    1
  3230. Just sayin I think you used better oil and filter so that improved the results. 10k mile result probably due to inferior oil and filter before using castrol and mann. Recommend pull 10k miles, it should be different and less wear. Because been there done that.
    1
  3231. Commercial diesel, 20 K. Oil get thin, or to dark, 10 to15 K. City diesels get more carbon and blow by past piston rings. Happy trails, I got 3 million plus safe Commercial miles. Never blew an engine, came close a couple of times. 😮

  3232. I have driven Japanese, German and American cars for almost 50 years. My cars in the 70’s and 80’s had 5,000 mile changes all exceeded 120,000 miles with zero engine issues. All of my 90’s to present day cars had oil changes at 8,000 miles starting with regular oil and transitioning to full synthetic by the late 90’s and they all exceeded 120K and one at 238k miles without engine issues. My current 2019 MX5 is at 95K full synthetic, never leaks, doesn’t burn oil and the oil looks the same at 8K as it did when changed. So many vids on YT with mechanics screaming that we should do changes at 3K to 5K (one with a Japanese engine designer saying 2K🙄) all are absolute lunacy!!!!

  3235. Next time you should do 10k mile change and lab test last, not first. Im sure that results would be very different for the 10k oil change.

  3238. I'd suspect that first 10k sample result, and submit another 10k sample as they suggested. Also, you negelcted to mention your usage, short trips, long trips, urban, freeways, mixed etc. Great video regardless.
    1
  3239. Understanding that you are running these oil change intervals and corresponding analyses as part of a testing scheme, your results are interesting, particularly the rapid degradation of sample oil after 7,500 miles. But I have never been able to understand why anyone, especially anyone calling himself a car enthusiast, would drive more than 5,000 miles between oil changes. My assumption would be that anyone watching your video would fall into the category of ‘enthusiast’ rather than someone who uses a car as transportation. To me it is difficult to understand why anyone with even a passing interest in automobiles as more than just transportation would allow a car to accrue 10,000 or more miles on a vehicle they value. I have always been of the philosophy that the least expensive insurance one can purchase for a car is an oil/filter change. Like you, I use good oil, in my case Liqui Moly Special Tec, and, again like you, a Mann filter. But I have never gone into 10k territory. That, at least to me, is a recipe for disaster. Relatively speaking, oil is cheap, particularly for the enthusiast driver. I’m old enough to remember changing oil by season instead of miles. And, we used straight weight oil, heavier weight in the summer and lighter in the winter. I’ll grant you that oils today are light years ahead of oils used even 40 years ago. I suppose that is the argument of the average consumer . . . that the science has advance to the point where modern oils are designed to run 10,000 or 20,000 miles. To my mind we have been lulled into the world of marketing complacency. Actually, the best way to measure oil change intervals is by hours, not miles. This is the way aircraft are maintained. Miles is an inexact science; a thousand miles for someone in Arizona is much different than a thousand miles for someone living in the Northeast.

  3246. I have 1989 F150 with 220,000 miles. It developed a head gasket leak so I decide to pull it out and tear it down. I have always used synthetic and change oil at 5000 miles. When I opened it up, I could still see the original factory cross hatching from the cylinder hone before the pistons were in stalled. Basically, no visible wear. After the new head gasket, it runs perfect and uses no oil. I’m shooting for 400,000 miles with out a rebuild.

  3247. i ran my e46 with no oil exchange for 50k kilometers. Wasnt my best time for the car. But now i rebuild vanos and some other engine parts which are scattered or very old. 325xi 2002. Check your engine for Vanos Problems. Have a nice day

  3250. So much is uncontrolled variables. What's the engine temperatures, freeway vs stop-go driving. Dusty or clean air. I'd wager cold winter, short trips are much harder for oil than long freeway commutes in mild climate.

  3251. I wonder if the capacity of the oil sump might be a factor in oil change intervals. My Sprinter has 14 quarts. Many other vehicles have halve that capacity. What is your capacity on your car?

  3264. My 3.5L V6 from my 2003 Odyssey had wear metals inline with your 7500 mile interval but ran for 13k miles. Completely different motor and different climate I would guess so not an apples to apples comparison. But it’s interesting to see your results. Curious what the TBN looked like.
    1
  3265. What about mineral or semi synthetic oils?
    1
  3266. New and used cars can sit in storage compounds and sales lots for many, many months unsold. It's unreasonable and impractical to change engine oil solely based on time.

  3267. At the end of the video, that road you're driving down, it look so much Kensingon, CA (near Berkeley) Is there a golf course at the top of that hill? LOL Oh yes, I've got 187K on my 2007 335i. I do oil change every 5000 miles anduse MANN filters, too. Bought it at 32k miles.
    1
  3268. One of the MOST important categories seems to be left off of the oil analysis results. That would be PH or acidity. The excessively long factory oil change intervals causes two things, one of which is part of what you are seeing with reduction in metallic particulates in the middle miles oil change intervals. As the acidity increases, nylon alloy parts in the engine such as timing chain guides are attacked and the surface becomes brittle and more suceptible to attack from the combination of moisture and sulfides in the oil which break down into mild sulfuric acid, further dropping PH. So in other words, chain guides and seals need to be changed more frequently or fail earlier. As extended warranties have become more common, a lot of the manufacturers have quietly reduced their oil change intervals from stupidly high numbers of 10-15k miles down to under 10 in the 7-8k miles range. This keeps them from having to pay for so many timing chain and seal related failures while the car might still be under their warranty. The other item....reduction of metallic particles when mileage on oil increases from 5k to 7k...is also from the increasing acidity of the oil. This causes particles of certain charge polarity to either floculate and fall out of suspension or more commonly, to agglomerate into larger particles that can now be taken out by the filter. The engine is not making any less copper or iron particles at 5k than it is at 7k miles. Its just filtering better because of particle size aggregation. No more that 7k miles is ideal for Euro formula oils like your BMW and my Golf are running.

  3272. I tried installing reinstalling, but my brake caliper cilinder won't go in easy, I had to push it on with other things then hands and I lubed it up cilinder size is right and its a new cilinder, all rubbers are in place checked multiple times everything is right, but still won't go in easy, should I just keep it that way? but why I changed it in a first place because it was getting stuck, could it be anything else then that? but it seems like it cannot be anything else.

  3273.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I turned it to the sides a bit with pliers and cilinder was way smoother, probably rubber was stuck inside a bit or something like that.

  3281. Dude, great video. So for me up here is Canada. I change mine every 10,000 km which is about 6,250 miles. About one a year, but half way I change just the oil filter. Again thanks.
    1
  3282. My Corvette GS only gets driven about 1k miles per year. I change the 10.5 qts that the dry sump system requires every other year. Oil tastes the same as the 5k mile, 6 month oil coming out of my daily driver and my wife's 5k mile, 1 year oil. I think I'm drinking too much oil.

  3286. It's like changing the oil in your chip fryer, some people change regularly & some change when everyone is dying of cancer.😂

  3287. Great! Straight forward steps.
    1
  3288. I don’t go beyond 4,000km if it’s a turbocharged engine. Sounds aggressive but it’s quite good preventatively. And never use any oil that’s not full synthetic as well. I’ve never driven an NA car so i can’t speak on the best range for that.
    1
  3289. What's cheaper, oil and a filter... or having to replace your engine? Unless you are driving highway miles in a very short space of time, then change your darn oil. Nothing negative will happening from changing it, whilst it's possible increased wear can occur from leaving it unchanged.
    1
  3290. That era of beemers was the best
    1
  3291. Your first mistake was using Castrol, their synthetic oil is really nothing but Gourp III conventional oil labeled as Synthetic. In other words it is nothing more than hydrocracked mineral oil to remove more of the impurities i.e. wax and other contaminants from the oil. It does not change the molecules of the oil which in mineral oil are different sizes. A true Group IV PAO and Group V Ester synthetic oil every molecule is identical. So many people get taken to the cleaners thinking they are buying true synthetic oil only to really be buying hydrocracked mineral oil labeled as synthetic.

  3296. Hey, I was wondering if you knew the size and dimensions of the lower drain bolt, mine snapped in half while I was tightening it. I'd really appreciate it because I just need a replacement. Thanks!

  3298. Hi, I've just watched this again and noticed that all the wear elements are lower (or the same) in the second, 7500m test, than they were the first 5000m test. I wonder if this is because there were still some elements left in the engine from the previous 10000m (and suction removal method) oil change? It then took another oil change after a further 7500m to totally get back to normal levels?
    1
  3299.  @EndlessMoneyPits  great, look forward to seeing the results
    1
  3300. IMO and experience oil should be changed according to your driving, I'm retired and with the Plandemic, I don't drive much as I used to, so I change my oil every 5K miles or 6 months. If you use good Synthetic oil and drive a great distance every day, (enough to burn the moisture out) you can go longer.
    1
  3301. Revving the car often keeps fuel in the oil very low :D

  3302. A good oil is a replaced one.

  3303. When I try to connect to airbag, I get error IFH-0009: NO RESPONSE FROM CONTROL UNIT! Program will be stopped. Installed per your other video....
    1
  3304.  @EndlessMoneyPits  did some searching around. My cable is not a switchable one and my car is a 2001 e46. I soldered pin 7 and 8 and was able to get in and read my airbag codes. Something to do with INPA only reading one circuit of diagnostics I guess. Unfortunately its all in German which is annoying. Luckily you can take a pic of it with your iPhone and it translates the text, since I can't copy and paste from INPA

  3305. Eneos recommends to change after 25k km or 1 year, i change it after18k-20k top, the engine is more silent with this oil, with castrol it sounds like a tractor,consums the oilevery month i refil 0.2 L with shity castrol, in change with enoes no refil,no loud engine, engine revs more faster, and so on, in one word eneos is much better then shity castrol,i will never use it,ever!!!!

  3306. 10k km should be fine.

  3307. I have an M 54 in my 2004 530i and I religiously do my oil at sub 5k miles as soon as it hits 4k miles on the oil at my earliest convenience I get the oil change done excessive a little bit possibly but oil is so much cheaper than engine work! At 145k miles my m54 burns zero oil between change intervals I also do my trans fluid every 30k and she shifts like she did off the lot bmws love fluids just constantly keep on them and the car will thank you heavily with many many miles
    1
  3308. I bought an E46 with 130,000km on it, changed oil every 24,000km and it had 400,000km when it was in a hit and run. When the hit and run happened, it still did not use any oil or coolant between oil changes. I was impressed.
    1
  3309. i have a question when you were bleeding the rear calipers did the brake pedal got all the way down? om my e46 it only went all the way down on the front brakes
    1
  3310. Oils and engines improved a lot in the past decades. I change at around 5 to 6,000 Miles never had any issues. The short interval of 3k Miles oil changes is now just a money maker for dealers and also impacting our environment. It is not needed. On the other hand, don't trust your manufacturers selling you oil change intervals of 15 to 20k Miles like Volkswagen did in Germany. If your used engine brakes, you pay for it! And an oil change in the US costs you around $ 30 cheapest while in Europe you easily pay 150 at the dealer!
    1
  3311. The answer simple: If you've made it to 300k and redline regularly, Keep doing what you're doing - don't over-analyze, don't change for no reason
    1
  3312. I use 80-mil-year-old oil exclusively, not a fortnight younger.
    1
  3313. The vast majority of car manufacturers recommend changing oil at 12,000 miles or 12 months, assuming standard types of driving. This is followed throughout Europe, with NO engine issues.

  3314. Question: I need to raise my C5 ride height by 1 inch. If you know, does that equate to 1” on the bolts or a certain number of turns? Thanks.

  3315.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I plan to replace my expansion tank, thermostat and water pump on the weekend. Do I need to fully drain the old coolant from underneath the car? Also, do I need to remove both belts? Can I not just loosen them?
    1
  3316. I used to change my oil every 3.5k miles, now I do it every 5-6k miles. I’m glad I made the change

  3319. im a mechanic from western europe and i can safely say that if you didnt have an engine swap that you are lying about your mileage. and/or allot of engine work. these cars are trash-worthy at around 200k KILOMETERS
    1
  3320.  @EndlessMoneyPits  not false at all lol. i just had a well maintained one with 145k kmat work where i had to replace the motor due to camshaft wear. and a 80k km one where i had to replace the steering wheel clock spring, ecu+ flashing the keys and put a whole new steering housing in these are NOT reliable cars lol. the reliability ratings of bmw are horrible, especialy for their sportier cars.

  3323. Thank you for this. Helped allot buddy.

  3324. For every car I've owned I change it every 5,000 miles and do a tire rotation as well. But with cars that I idle a lot I change it every 2,500 miles and rotate tires every other oil change. Realistically even with high idling the car would be just as fine if you took it to 3,000 or 4,000 miles or more. But I don't mind doing it a little more often for peace of mind.
    1
  3325. The purpose of changing your oil is to remove the carbon. The best oils available don’t keep carbon out. Carbon is not a lubricant. More than 5K miles is no good.
    1
  3326. 15k is ridiculous …. 5 k max. That’s it. No need to debate or research

  3338. Interesting video! The car has burned over 2qt of oil. Does the iron/aluminum in the final oil sample get reduced due to oil burning? If yes then iron become kind of too high?
    1
  3339. this is what i find very weird about oil changes, in countries with Kilometers, the max oil service limit it's 10.000km (6200 miles) i don't know why the same oil in MILE countries are much higher like 10.000 miles for example, that's too much for the oil, and now i know why in MILES countries the engines are veeery worn out

  3346. If you use budget oil, expect 5k changes. If you use oils like Amsoil, you can get 10k comfortably.
    1
  3347. They are going off a widely documented jobs database, they are not cheating you. If it's too much lookup the job and do it yourself like I'm doing. And just put whatever money they would have charged into good tools for yourself.

  3348.  @AimForTheBushes908  It indeed only took the mechanic the 30-45 mins as I expected.

  3349. You should change tires too😂

  3350. Good review
    1
  3351. 5000 miles is a good number on a modern engine with modern oil. 15k is a bit much it may take one over a year to reach that mileage. I can say I've seen engines with long service intervals sludge build up deterioration of rubber seals gaskets etc.
    1
  3352. good video! Ive a Nissan pickup with a 2.5 liter turbo diesel. I put 10w40 in it and change my oil+filters every 6000 miles. The engin has now 350.000+ miles and still running great. Just respect the thirst miles(cold engine) and when arrived, wait 1 minute in idle before you stop the engine. Cheers from France
    1
  3353. Well turns out i was taught well 10k km /6500 miles ish and you have to do an oil change! Manufacturers have this stupid claims of like x3 or x4 ...
    1
  3354. Pretty interesting video and results. I would have liked to see the TBN numbers for each oil change interval. maybe you could include them on the next sample.
    1
  3355.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I understand that. I have used blackstone multiple times and have kits now for the next changes. I am always curious to see the TBN results as an indicator for the particular brand of oil. I wonder if visiting the redline daily has a strong effect. Whether you do TBN or not on the next video, I would venture to say, it will be worth watching.
    1
  3356. Simple; keep oil yellow and engine lasts forever.
    1
  3357. Your instructions are great. Changed both bulbs succesfully. Easy job, as lobg as you dare to pull on the body parts.
    1
  3358. Engine are not expensive, known good engines are! But this is good information, since i bought 20L of oil a few years ago and for the past 18 months i've barely driven 6Mm. 5w30 mobil1 esp.
    1
  3359. One major thing to consider is how much oil is burned and replaced with new oil in that period. New oil mixed with the old oil rejuvenates it alot more then youd expect based on analysis from blackstone..
    1
  3360. As a person who can only afford to buy used cars, I wish people would change the damn oil. I don't want to get stuck with your neglected crap. I change my oil myself every 3,000 because all my trips to work and the store are very short. Typically do under 10 miles a day, urban driving.

  3364. I just swapped out a cat on a 98 Cherokee. It was supposed to be a direct fit. It did fit, but had to trim a half inch off of one side. The only way it would go together is if the o2 sensor was towards the engine. Looks like it should be towards the rear axle. I wonder if the manufacturer welded the ends on backwards. It went together nicely, but the o2 sensor is before the cat. We'll see if the light goes off. 😂
    1
  3365. @EndlessMoneyPits  I'm a former certified mechanic, and I'm pretty sure they welded the ends on backwards. 😄 I threw it on because he had to go get his boat. I'll get him back over and swap it around. A lot of these jeeps in my area go cat delete since we don't do emissions. This one was hollowed out with an o2 sensor in it, that was supposedly bad. 🤣

  3366. Gas engines leak gas into the oil Filters need to be quality. Depends on these factors.

  3368. I’m getting ready to send in a sample of oil that I installed in 2009. It only has around 1,000 miles on it. Will be interesting! The Internet is full of hooey, so I’m not surprised that your two year sample was just fine.

  3370. I do mine every 3500. My engines always lasted

Thank you for responding so quickly. @EndlessMoneyPits  I also really liked two educational techniques you used: 1) Clearly (with photos !!) listing tools required and 2) Clearly delineating how, what and why you did what you did. Plus, I never thought to use wood boards to rais my e46 up enough to make use of my regular jack and stands!!! Really good stuff...Thank you again.

  3382. Interesting, I don’t think the Serow 250 has a full through shaft in the swing arm like the XT250. I could be wrong but I’ve seen videos of ppl replacing two shorter shafts with a full shaft to beef up the rear end. I was thinking about doing this too but maybe my XT has full shaft already 🤔

  3389. I still do 3000 miles o. C. I with 5-30w fully synth along with filter every time. Cost approx 50usd. It's okay for me labor cost to repair engine assshole in here, for simple Toyota engine they ask for 1000 usd and 1500 usd parts. So I take the oil change way
    1
  3390. Higher Copper content maybe due to "dryer" start. Your engine sit longer(dryer), and more oil drain then start.
    1
  3391. Thank you very much much
    1
  3392. Unless there was a complete flush of the engine between oil changes , the data was very flawed .
    1
  3393.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yeah but it easily explains why after the 7.5k it was showing cleaner than the 5k oil . The 5 had to run through after the old ass 10k oil . Then the 7.5k had to run through after the far cleaner 5k . Was progressively getting cleaner with each oil change
    1
  3394.  @EndlessMoneyPits  a flush would be the only true way to get a genuine answer to your tests

  3399. Makes sense when you consider that the oil wasn’t exactly new in the first place.
    1
  3400. Interesting experiment, seems that with a hybrid vehicle 10,000 oil changes would be more than acceptable due to the EV mode.
    1
  3401. The Engine Oil used in this BMW application, averages less than 5%, on average, "synthetic basestocks". Engine Oils that are designed in accordance with BMW's Specificatons.... with robust additive systems capable of handling 15,000 mile drains, are very rarely found in the land of BMWUSA LLC sold vehicles..... aka USA. This is true because there is no fair labeling law that states the actual amount of synthetic base stock must be accurately shown, again here in the USA. The owners manual drain interval recommendations are based off utilizing much higher quality Engine Oils, COUPLED WITH much higher quality gasoline fuel....of BMWs utilized in the EU. Engine Oil Basestocks & Additive system Content + Quality Gasoline allows the engine to go further, hence the recommendation from BMW Lube & Fuel Committee Engineers. This BMW owner may not be aware of this.... or this BMW where may be ware and just is hoping for video bait clicks to enrich his wallet. Extended drain are easily accomplished when Quality enters the pucture....but be careful not to buy for example deep & cheap Family Dollar offerings of 100% Synthetic oil for $3.99 per quart.... Expect to pay, for a true BMW Spec Compliant fluid.... capable of up to 15,000 _mile drains between $14 to $19 per quart as a guideline for those hat only know how to purchase based off price on the label.

  3404. If I was driving your car I would not go beyond 7,500 miles.. My Yamaha FZ-07 oil gets thinner if I run it over 5,000 miles.. 2.5 quarts for engine and transmission combined. Oil used to be so much cheaper I changed my oil more often and then use used old to heat my shop. Also It's cheaper to change your oil more often than it is to pay $30.00 for oil testing. Many years ago I got it done for Free through Kendal Oil. Not many Labs will commit to oil change Recommendations Kendal did .. My Present Lab "Titan Laboratories" in Denver CO
    1
  3405. Yeah!

  3406. Electric is faster, better, cheaper, and safer. No oil changes!

  3407. What a scam ! You tell them yer car the mileage the oil and how long you drove on the oil. Why? Too get some run around bs that causes you to get anoughter test then a third test just too get back where you started from. I'll buy oil with my 35$ or so and change it.The oils are better than 25 years ago everyone shook their head cuss I changed it every 4000 miles everyone says has to change at 3000, still have truck a tacoma with over 310,000 miles all the oil is synthetic now so getting ready to change its been a year about 7500 miles I'll do my own analysts and determine what's up.The oil is much better today.

  3409. Would you consider doing some BG epr or Tec2000 engine flushing to perhaps loosen the crap off the rings?
    1
  3410.  @EndlessMoneyPits  should be a good one for content, its not readily available yet here in europe, the video might do well.
    1
  3411. The 10k mile results look to me an abnormality, bad test results or a mixed up sample. I think you should do another 10K test to confirm the results.
    1
  3412. Excellent video and data tracking / comparison. One suggestion: Instead of getting oil from bottom of pan during total drain, Try capture 3K, 5K, 7K, 8K, 9K, then 10K ALL from the same oil. Either install an on/off valve at the oil drain (look up Fumoto), or can use a vacuum transfer pump through the dip stick tube to enable pulling samples this way. By doing this way, we know it is the same 7 quarts of oil that’s being run longer and longer. So no question whatsoever if there was different between oil batches/brands/etc.
    1
  3413.  @EndlessMoneyPits  in that case, the Futomo valve method is probably better suited. Drain out half way, capture sample, stop draining. Assuming the drain pan was ABSOLUTELY CLEAN, you could then pour the oil back in through dip stick tube so it reaches oil pan without traveling through the valve train. (Before I drain transmission fluid, I would cleaning my drain pan with brake clean. This allows me to save drained old transmission fluid until I’m 100% sure I don’t need to re-blend it, without contaminating the old fluid with whatever residual crap was in my drain pan at the start.)
    1
  3414. Something left out, is the lack of checking oil levels. As engines age, they burn or leak more oil. I've seen 4.5 quart engines drain approximately 2 qts. I can guarantee you (cuz i caught some in an old pyrex measuring cup) there was engine wear/damage. If you are incapable of/unwilling to check oil level periodically, please stick to a 37500 or 5k oil change interval.
    1
  3415. My 2019 RAM 5.7 calls for 15K changes. Yeah, no. I changed the oil at 200 miles when brand new. Then again after 2000. Now I change it every 5K. Just retired so that will likely mean only one, perhaps two changes per year.

  3416. from my long term experience. Castrol is the worst oil out there, my motorcyle engine always been noisier with Castrol oil, friction noise, and stiffer gear change after 2 weeks running . . I switched to Bardhall and this noise stopped for the 5,ooo miles before the next oil change. . A few years ago, my daughter's boyfriend's bike Honda CBR 600 rr Had Castrol in it, synthetic and it too was really noisy screeching sounding while my Triumph with Motul synthetic 5,000 miles , was dead silence , , , except for the very little restrictive exhaust 😁. . .. . A good friend of mine races in old timer class. . He and his pal rode kawasaki KX 450 four strokes bikes. . My friend uses Bardhal synth. and his friend Castrrol Synth. . on differents qualifing races, both had rad, puncture and lost their coolant. . My friend could complete his race but his pall did not complete his , the engine seized. . . Castrol. . . not for me. .

  3417. I now change my oil every three thousand miles. I used to change it every 2000 miles. I also change it just before any long trip. It is excessive, i know, but i have not had an engine problem since about 1970.

  3419. In South Afrika. Some years ago, car makers were shown we were overcharged horrendously for new cars compared to the rest of the world. Instead of dropping the price, they then offered free (up to 100k km) vehicle service plans and guarantees included in the price. Strangely, the service (now paid for by the manufacturer) interval was then extended by 50% (now 15k km instead of 10k, diesel), and major repairs could only be diagnosed after the 100k km guarantee had expired!

  3421. Great job. I have Toyota Prado 2003. Patrol engine. Usually I change engine oil (10w 30) and filter every 5000 Km. But now 11 months and ~6500Km. Is it problem?

  3424. This is such a well shot video. Very clear in everything it shows. Funnily enough I specifically wanted to see how those lowest fairing parts come off and that's the one thing not covered here. I'll just give it shot, I had it off two years ago. Should come back to me.

  3428. No such thing as changing your oil "too much". Oil degrades, the better condition it is in the better your components will last.
    1
  3429. Nice job, you made that looks so easy!
    1
  3430. How did you know when to stop putting oil in? Did you measure out 2.7L? Hoping i can do this with the fairing still on, i dont mind taking them off but its a hassle lol Have you had any issue with leaks, seals or being difficult to take off after torqueing both down?
    1
  3431.  @EndlessMoneyPits  appreciate the fact youre still responding to comments even 2 years on! when you say you drew a line, how did you know that was 2.7 and not say 3? I'm planning to do this next week on my 19 when weather turns from good to bad, ordered all the bits including a strap wrench, gonna use the strap wrench to torque it down a bit more after hand tight, and then torque wrench for the sump. Very detailed, will probs ask a few question on other vids as all fluids need doing as per the interval (2 and 3 year). :)
    1
  3432.  @EndlessMoneyPits  i did a lot when i had my cbr125r so i have most the tools i need anyway, never did any fluid changes though. That saying, a job goes much smoother when you can actually find tutorials on any unsure parts, the fact the 500r is near enough the same throughout all years is excellent as same stuff will apply, if i get stuck, your videos seem more than plenty to provide the info i might need compared to most out there. Even if nothing is learnt, you might have a trick that helps spedd up the process or make life easier to pass on. Who knows! One of the best things about the riding community 👍

  3433. Actual advantages of replacing the original exhaust beside sounds preferences?
    1
  3434. Coming back to your question about flash point which dropped by 25°F, as a chemist engineer , I would rather explain that by a petrol contamination, in my diesel car Audi A3 1.9 tdi 105 hp DPF, the fuel contamination could be worse because of oil dilution, any time the engine activates the particle filter active regeneration by post-injection, some excess of fuel can pass to the sump and I sometimes noticed that oil level becomes higher and this could be harmful for engine health if oil isn't replaced more frequently ( each six monts in my car) Likewise, I had to replace hydraulic lifters and camshaft prematurely.

  3435. What exactly are the problems with running 30,000 kms between oil changes? I’m interested in actual usability problems, not internal looks. What goes wrong?

  3438. Calcium can be caused by moisture that makes its way into the crankcase and precipitates into the oil as it cools down and the moisture comes out of the warmer atmosphere that was in the crankcase. As the water is cooked off in the first 10 to 15 Mi of driving, it leaves behind it a little bit of a calcium residue that the water absorbed while in the atmosphere. That will answer why you may be showing up with calcium in the oil on longer oil change intervals. You really need to dissuade yourself from the practice of changing oil without changing the filter!

    1
  3448. You will never harm your engine by changing the oil too often. You will damage your engine by not changing it often enough. Do it yourself for about $30.00 and 30 minutes. It's the easiest procedure. Every 3 months or 3k miles Transmissions last longer also with regular fluid and filter(if applicable) changes

  3449. Vw golf mk5 1.4 turbo charged 190.000klm, i do every 2-3000 klm oil change and filter. Transmission oil every 2 years..The car doing around 5000klm every year. Any comments on that..?
    1
  3450. The biggest sign that the factory recommended interval is bs is that if a car has both US and European models, the interval is always the same, they just change the unit. If it's 15k kilometers in Europe, it will say 15k miles in the US. They're not even close.

  3451. If you use tap water, there might be a calcium increase. Maybe a previous owner put tap or bottled mineral water in the cooling system and the deposits are coming out randomly(?)

  3461. This is interesting in a useless kind of way, but why rock the boat. Changing oil and oil filter is the least expensive maintenance, why risk wearing out an engine unnecessarily or even damaging it for a 30 dollar 30-minute service twice a year.
    1
  3462. The best advice is whatever the manufacturer requires or less.
    1
  3463. What is your goal? How many miles do you drive per year? Less oil changes mean less oil change expense, but should that be the driver? Remember Audi and VW's oil sludge problem? The contributors were improper oil and LONG CHANGE INTERVALS. Personally, I've never gone more than 5000 miles on a change interval. And I ALWAYS change the filter. Is it really worth saving $10 on an oil filter?

  3466. As soon as I see Castrol used in a video,I hesitate to watch it any further....
    1
  3467.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Many workshops used Castrol in the 90's/2000's. But because of endless sludge buildup (even with specified service intervals) many decided to steer away. Personally I have seen 2 different cars that I bought used engines fail due to Castrol. The last one the oil pump pickup, solenoids, sump etc completely caked even though previous owner serviced every 10-12 000km (not miles). The car also saw the redline every now and then, and seen regular open road driving, but still had the issue...In South Africa where I stay, the best workshop all learnt to use Shell, Liqui Moly or Motul oils. Literally none of the reputable shops use Castrol due to above mentioned issues.
    1
  3468.  @EndlessMoneyPits  You are lucky I guess. Or maybe the Castrol spec in your country differs from what we find here? In SA 9/10 petrol heads hate the stuff.
    1
  3469. haa, you are risking your engine for these experiments, go ten thousand miles before an oil change, in an engine with such high mileage? Wouldn't even think of it, but that's your decision. Oil and filters are cheap compared to an engine in a BMW !! Ja? Haa wow.
    1
  3470. Do you still have this bike? I’m using all of your videos to work on my 2017 and thought about maybe needing to replace the fuel pump. Pump still works, I’m sure, but I believe it contains the only filter for the fuel system. If you still own the bike, it might be time for a vid on that 😁

Funny how when I do that its take off is slightly better than of typical BMW car on the road but when you reach the 60 mph (100 kph) mark, my Škoda starts to lose :( conclusion: My nimble fast city car, you make money when you repair it > some BMW that leaks oil 24/7 and is a endless money pit
    1
  3473. That's a nice video. But the reason why your result is better on the intermediate mileage than the shorter mileage is because on the shorter your still had left over old burned oil. With the short interval you "flushed" once that burned stuff. Therefore getting cleaner oil on a 7.5k mi interval. I bet that if you had another short interval you would get even better results.

  3486. Correction, the 5 year tire life is sell by date to the wholesaler/retailer not the life of the tire. The actual life of the tire becomes five years after you purchase it. So a tire can be 10 years from the sell by date.
    1
  3487. To quote Michelin directly, "Tires aren't bananas, they stay fresh," however like bananas their freshness duration is dependent on the conditions of storage. I don't think I'd trust a 2 year old tire that's been sitting out in the Arizona sunshine the whole time but a 10 year old tire in climate controlled conditions would probably be ok. Of course it's always end-user discretion, but the important thing is to be educated on the how and why, not just the what.

  3490. The oil doesn't decompose hardly at all, so you can leave the oil in for up to 10,000 miles without question. Frequent oil changes can harm the metal quality of the engine by leaching out the quality of the metal. Synthetic oil is so much better and stays clean longer, too, so everyone should use synthetic oil and a quality filter if you changer oil not as often.
    1
  3491. I've got a vehicle 21 years old with only ~40K on it; I've went years between changes. Unless outside air gets to the oil creating the chance for contamination there is zero issue with the oil from time. With a well sealed motor, no worries.

  3494.  @EndlessMoneyPits  What is the viscosity of the oil (you can mention it here...).
    1
  3495. Thank you! my fathers plow vehicle is a 96 limited grand cherokee with the 5.2. after about 10 minutes of idling the idle will get lower and lower (close to 100 rpm) and stall and have a hellacious time restarting. Throttle needs to be given etc and if you take your foot of the throttle it dies immediately. Once cooled down it starts right back up. Think this is the problem? unfortunately whatever is making my fathers car do this issue is not throwing a check engine light so its a mystery lol.
    1
  3496.  @EndlessMoneyPits  The IACV was the first thing my father and I tried. the TPS was one that we did not try yet however. We did try scanning the codes with a code reader and nothing ever came up. I think the slight problem is that my father uses the jeep specifically as a plow vehicle and uses the battery disconnect when he is not using it. it'll go for weeks without the battery connected and im wondering if thats doing anything with preventing the CEL. Only thing that makes us think CEL is the Jeep originally starts and runs fine until it warms up and i know that sensor is right next to the exhaust manifold so i'm thinking maybe thats getting excessive heat soak and killing it? Appreciate the response!
    1
  3497.  @EndlessMoneyPits  im just saying usually the CEL kicks on when a sensor exits its acceptable range after x amount of attempts, resetting the battery after turning it on and off twice may reset the computers counter? and oil pressure is above 40 psi at cold idle. Cooling system is fairly decent. Previous owner installed a larger radiator to aid with cooling since it has a large draw when pushing snow and operating the hydraulic lift for the plow etc. and 100% gets way worse as it warms up. My father was clearing his driveway a week ago and the car shut off and wouldnt start for 15 minutes. he couldnt let off the throttle or itd turn off every time. when it sat overnight it fired right up like normal. it never ran 100% from when he bought it 2 years ago but it just became impossible to drive this past week.
    1
  3498.  @EndlessMoneyPits  That was another possibility that my father threw out there too. im just struggling to convince myself of that because when it gets warm, it only stays running when youre giving it the throttle, it revs fine when you go from steady 2k rpms and then floor it, but if you try to let it idle its nearly impossible to recover from. I also noticed a slight hesitation in the tachometer between 3-4k rpms, but the engine didnt sound like it hesitated which made me think CPS as well, if that sensor started failing the tach may start glitching right?

  3507. People forget. They think, the additives don't break down until blah blah blah. Ok, fine, but there's contamination / particles that get in the oil. As the filter gets plugged the oil starts to bypass. The filter capacity is based on size more than other things. You either give up flow in favor of filtration or give up filtration in favor of flow.
    1
  3508. Depends, do you have direct injection or port injection? Short trips or long trips? Car warm up or not? Diesel or petrol? Turbocharged or non turbocharged? Egr or no egr?

  3509. Didn't change my oil on my F350 for three years as it took that long to drive 8K miles. I did a oil analysis and it can back great and they said it was good for another 2-4K more miles.

  3510. Does your test take into consideration the contamination that can affect low spring tension piston rings some engines have to get better fuel economy. This can cause oil burning problems if the ring stop expanding properly because "crud" in the piston ring grooves.

  3515. Most cars I have driven have become unprofitable by electronics gremlins , suspension work etc. When Air Suspension cost almost as much as the car is worth its time to consider dropping it. Have never had any serious engine issues. Over five cars I have owned the only engine issues have been 1) Crankshaft sensor 2) Thermostat 3) Exhaust Sensor issues 4) A few rubber hoses leaking. I might have been lucky.

  3519. I think the makler of the car is the one that most know what they are doing, there is nobody that can know more about an engine, but the creator of that engine. So if the maker tells you 10.000miles, use their recomendat ion with their recommendation viscosity, etc. The only thing that i do is to use a good quality oil like Redline with ESTER, that will make sure that a high mileage oil will still be useable.

  3525. Will this work with a alternator with a internal voltage regulator
    1
  3526. I have a jeep xj with a 2002 dodge durango 5.9 160 alternator oreilys website says it’s voltage’s regulator type is external will this kit work i need it charging around 14.5 and its only charging 13.7 currently
    1
  3527. Some of the confusion is that people incorrectly refer to this as "switching to an external regulator." The implication Is that the vehicle originally had an internal regulator. It did not. What it had was a different voltage regulator - in this case one located in the ecu. So what people are actually doing is switching their external voltage regulator. Before I installed anything, I would check some real basic stuff. Verify that the wiring between the alternator and the ecu are in good condition. That's pretty vague I know, but if you feel around and find a wire with a mushy jacket or visible corrosion, that could be the whole problem. If unsure, you can always temporarily replace that wire with something new and beefy, even if you have to trim an end and jam it into a socket and tape the shit out of it. This assumes, of course, that the output you are looking for is the stock output. If it isn't then you need the additional functionality of an adjustable vr. Those alternators will output much much higher voltage than what you're asking for - its the vr that keeps voltage down at high rpn by reducing the exciter field. So, yes - an adjustable regulator should do what you want. Whether or not the adjustment on this particular regulator will do the job is an open question. I've heard people bitch about the adjustability not working, but these were people installing a modification to a dysfunctional system and who knows their skill level. They could be as crappy a mechanic as I am.
    1
  3528. There's a lot of factors involved on when you should change your oil. Personally, I do it every 5,000 - 7,000 kms... Yeah... Kilometres, not miles. And get a new oil filter every third change.
    1
  3529.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Absolutely. No matter what facts could ever be presented, people still will be peoplin lol. I live In Ontario Canada, I see literally all 4 seasons. Temperatures that can get as low as -35C (no wind chill) and temperatures as high as +40C. I have a 2018 Honda Civic, it uses 0W 20 oil. There are literally about a dozen factors people take into account. Climate, times of year, where you drive the most. Stop and go traffic. Engine size. How old the engine is. How you drive, etc.

  3530. Thanks

  3531. I find these oil analyses very interesting and have had them done on previous vehicles I've owned from time to time. I currently own a Honda Rdigeline and a Mazda Miata, but both are low mileage and I haven't done oil analysis on either one yet. The Honda is my daily driver and I do run longer drains (up to 7500 mi), since I drive it a lot and don't want to waste money. However, the Miata is a fair weather back road toy and I drive it hard, so I'm much more concerned about engine wear. I plan to change the Miata's oil/filter every 5000 mi or annually, whichever comes first, and I plan to do oil analyses every oil change, since it's only once per year.

  3536.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Another Q: I was thinking of ways to drain the reservoir without taking anything extra off - if I run the engine and leave the drain bolt off will that flush out the excess coolant? Otherwise I think I will unhook the pipe that runs to the radiator and lower it below the tank to drain excess.

  3538. TOYOTA Corolla 1,3 1998 owner here. Engine has close to 700K miles, surpassed the million kilometres mark. 4E-FE 1,3 litters just regular 5K oil changes, belts, quality oil filters and this is the first time I had the beast rebuilt, just because my Corolla was my mother's car and I plan to keep it until I die. I was in awe to see a motor that has travelled to the moon and back so clean and so pristine when opened...... I do not know how modern day Corollas or Hondas will last, but I am sure that the simpler, the better. I stubbornly just refuse to buy a new-er car. I just do not feel that all the gadgets will last the test of time.

  3541. Castrol doesn't last too much it a base IIi oil try a pentosyn At least , a motul, much better, but a PAO+Ester Lukoil, Chevron and Shell's Synthetics are the best. will last tree times WITH THE RIGHT FILTER. With an average filter you are losing money.

  3542. A BMW owner hiting redline daily? Shocking.

  3543. 3000 mile oil changes are for conventional oil, and shops want your money more often. I do 5000 mile oil changes and 10000 mile filter changes.
    1
  3544. You can't change your oil too often but you can definitely not change it enough. I would just shoot for 5k miles and know you're ok to go 7lk if you're too busy or whatever to change it.

  3545. I do 24000 km oil changes on my Hyundai volester it has 340000 km so far. synthetic and long life filter

  3550.  @EndlessMoneyPits  used to have a b30 in mine. swapped a b28 into it and purrs like a kitten. My most recent video shows me break down why its so good and im running the b30 intake and intake cam for the powahh! Keep up the nice videos.
    1
  3551.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Its very close to the b30 tbh with you man, the intake + cam + a tune (and you have catless headers, my car was an early b30 with catless headers too) and you will br pretty much b30 torque and hp numbers. Also consider that the b28 can rev to around 7.2krpm if you have the oil pump nut done and the b30 starts to get a bit violent around 7k. Hard to make power so high up but there are some mods that allow it like the m50 manifolds and the such.
    1
  3552.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Hmm. Not so difficult for me but we have done 4-5 engine swaps now so maybe I'm not a good example of whats easy for a DIYer. But there are lots of guides around it. Make sure you watch it all the way through before you commence. If you don't have the necessary timing tools you'll be in a pickle. It's lucky the upgrade only requires the intake cam swap, since its actually easier to do the intake cam than the exhaust cam since the exhaust cam is driven off the crank whereas the intake cam is driven off the exhaust cam - just set aside a day, get all the equipment like the 3.0 cam and manifold, and then go for it. Get a tune and you'll most definitely notice a nice bump in performance. GreshM performance tuned mine - his tune is more focused on reliability and power rather than solely power (includes the EWS delete and the lower cooling system temps)

  3553.  @EndlessMoneyPits  just watched your recent and noticed the electric fan meaning its likely a manual. Beautiful car bro, dream spec.

  3554. I change every 5 k , no problems
    1
  3555. You do testing and find proof that you don't need to change your oil on a time basis and then you close your eyss to the proof and say you are going to change it anyway. Why waste your money testing?
    1
  3556. I was impressed that u tested ur oil and then modified your changing schedule based on the test. I did not understand why u decided to change ur oil after 1 year when the oil tested 100% ok

  3569. How do you reset the oil life
    1
  3570.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thanks for the response. I change the oil and filter once a year. It only goes about 300 miles a year. It's got 71,000 miles on it. I change the oil filter on it myself because every time I take it to a shop, oil drips from the filter onto the starter... and then i have to change the starter. It just sits really
    1
  3571. Wouldn’t it be ok to just have the jack stands on the front and leave the rear lifted with the jack?

    1
  3575. You should always get your oil changed at the recommended intervals.... if you don't kiss your timing chain goodbye Point Blank change your oil when you're supposed to save you from having to spend 4 or 5 thousand dollars on a timing chain

  3578. I worked for TVA back in the late 70's at Hartville TN. My job was to change oil and grease heavy equipment. They changed from using the hour meter to tell when to change oil, to a computer monthly time readout. We changed oil in a lot of equipment that didn't leave the repair shop in several months that had new oil in them.. Cat dozers held close to 10 gals of oil..

  3579. 50k miles and I still haven't changed my oil in my Volvo, I've never heard anybody recommend 2 oil changes a year.

  3591.  @EndlessMoneyPits  how much did you bleed out the brake fluid in all 4 ?
    1
  3592. JAX Industrial Lubricants advised me on watching the T.A. N. on all lubricants. This means Total Acid Number which shows how oils become more acidic with repeated exposure to elevated temps.
    1
  3593. What about the filter? Will the filter breakdown over time?
    1
  3594. I just tapped a slightly smaller af socket on a Scorpio with a butchered plug. It wouldn't have come loose with vice grips. Those large o rings can expand until they are too big. Buy a spare.

  3595. Change your filter if you change your oil no matter what anyone tells you. Period.

  3596. Nice. one thing. Did you rince off the spilled coolant? Is it corrosive to hoses pipes etc.?

  3597.  @EndlessMoneyPits  thank you. That is a beautiful car. Mine is 2004, m54. I look at e46 content a ton and you don't hardly hit my feed. I even subbed like a year or more back. Not good for me or you. You run a beautiful channel. Edited nice, with not too many skips on processes. Glad you on. Not many 1st time owners so you have a unique perspective on longevity of parts replacement. I would benefit from that if you ever want to put out as an excell and discuss your experiences.

  3600. The 5k sample was taken after the 10k and may have included some contaminants left after the 10k run. Looks to me that the 7500 mile interval may be the choice for saving money on oil changes and engine protection.
    1
  3601. Great video!
    1
  3602. Various groups, including the state of California have done more robust studies on more than just a single BMW engine. The california study seemed to focus on the impact of a high quality/efficiency filter's ability to extend the life of oil. I would rather follow the advice of the manufacturer than the person that makes money off of oil changes. 10k could indeed work for some cars, but 3k is certainly overkill with modern engines and modern oils (especially synthetic).
    1
  3603. is better to change the oil based on hours of machine running than based on Kms!
    1
  3604. 7 450 miles (11 920 km) seems to me a good balance between avoiding excessive wear engine and waste of money and time. Too shortened oil changing (5 100 miles/ 8 160 km) is a luxury that doesn't prevent engine wear as much as 7450 mi's. Last but not least, 10 000 miles oil changing shows the limits of this good qualiy oil (Castrol 0 W 40) and many possible dangers for a respectable M 52 engine with 300 000 miles/480 000 km. By the way, hats off to the owner of this beautiful BMW 😉!
    1
  3605. For the last 20+ years, I have done all my synthetic oil changes around 7000-7500 miles. I always use a quality oil and filter... Almost always Mobil 1 synthetic, though ive also used Valvoline and quaker state synthetic. I have yet to encounter serious engine problems, with cars exceeding 200000 miles
    1
  3606. Unfortunately some manufacturers have responded to criticism about the cost of their recommended maintenance by arbitrarily extending the change intervals for various fluids and lubricants. Engine oil is only one of them, intervals have also been extended beyond reality for things like transmissions, PTU"s, rear axles, and coolant. This indicates that the marketing folks have more say than the engineering folks, which I consider to be a very bad thing. I set up my own much stricter maintenance schedules on every vehicle I buy if I find the manufacturer recommendations to be unrealistic. btw, I'm a retired automotive engineer.

  3609. Well done, thanks

  3610. Obviously if you do drive a lot of miles you need fewer oil changes than if you do shorter journeys as condensation builds up on a cold engine and gets in the oil. .Remember oil is cheap a wrecked engine is expensive.
    1
  3611. You don't note whether the lab provided an error range for each test. The error bars for the same variable over time will indicate whether a serious change is taking place with that particular variable.
    1
  3612. Brilliant clear no nonsense video well done.
    1
  3613. This is not that easy. If you do short trips in city, its a lot mor wear on the oil than freeway rips. Personally, i wouldn’t go past 5k on any car i own. 5k is pushing it. Ideal is 4.5k
    1
  3614. 3k on synthetic for me but you can eat off the engine parts at 250k. When in doubt change it out.
    1
  3615. I'm so tired of this controversy. The oil needs to be changed every 5k for maximum engine life.

  3619. If your engine has timing chains, change the oil every 5000 miles - especially since the chain guides are made of PLASTIC. Don't go by the metal analysis alone.. Oil is cheaper than an engine - especially a BMW engine.
    1
  3620. Excellent video! Well explained and detailed! Great Job!
    1
  3621. My younger years, it was common that we changed oil every 3,000 miles. When the standard became 5,000, I was hesitant and it took me years to accept 5k intervals. My new Toyota says every 10,000 miles. Nope, not gonna do it. It's cheap insurance to change oil at 5k.

  3625. Awesome test. Thank you for posting 🍻

  3626. Yes, those oil analysis results do probably have no practical meaning in piston ring sticking? Table don't list amount of sot and other particles in the oil? I mean for each mile driven we acuminate more sot and particles that is in the oil from all the combustion cycles. Oil keeps the engine clean by making the sot and other shit floating suspended in the oil. And when drained it is "removed" when folling the oil out trough the drain plug. So now we know the sot and particles is IN the oil. We have a the lowest piston ring is a oil scrape ring. That scrape of the execs oil on the cylinder bore. When we know that the oil has sot and particles in it. So the oil scrape ring is scrapeing of oil and and sot and shit altogether (when that is in the oil).. ..we can call it solids.. We also know that the top of the piston is rather hot 🔥 and the heat is heating the whole piston that expands from that heat. Now we have in the oil, particles and sot around the oil scrape ring (also known as the oil "control ring"). Plus heat.. There is a lot of good and reliable engines from the greatest car manufacturers that has developed oil consumption and have got scraped. Now to the noteworthy those engines has worn out DESPITE the service intervals were followed!! (Because of the reasons below) When we measure RPM. Let say that the avrage rev is 2500 RPM for a engine is in use for each time unit. So every minute the oil control ring scrape of sot, particles and oil 5000 times....at 2500RPM when the piston needs to go back and travel up a long the bore again to complete a revolution. So that sot, particles in the oil is slowly accumulate and build up and the heat dry it up. So you get a sticky goo behind and around the oil control ring. Now we have ring sticking and the oil control ring is stuck and do not scrape the oil of.. No oil scraped of when piston goes down but during compression stroke the compression piston rings is by the compression pressed against the bore to keep the ceild and scrape the oil up towards the combustion chamber. There we burn the oil and there we have the oil consumption and there we shuffle that blue smoke to the catalyst converter that will also after a while fail eventually.. The auto manufacturers has increased their oil service intervals. They have also increased what is acceptable oil consumption levels.. But all is done so that they are OK that it fails outside of their warranty period so they not need to take the cost. The ONLY thing we can do is make sure to not do EXACTLY as the car manufacturers does. That goes with long intervals. Is that we instead change oil more frequently. When each oil change remove accumulated sot, particles that is suspended in the oil. Therefore will we make sure that oil control ring is doing its designed work and the sot and particles is taken care of in the oil change and new and cleaner oil will keep it gunk free.. If you want to run your car as long as possible until its weels is falling of. But if you just keep it for a short time then keep on thus practice by maximizing your distance between oil changes and pas on the issues onto later owners of the car. 😢 That is good for your wallet at the moment. But bad for the wallet and environment when seen on the car total cost during its whole life cycle.😮

  3627. Interesting video. When all my kids were at home I had 6 cars to maintain. I found it easiest change oil every 5k miles and the oil and filter every 10k miles. This way I didn't need to keep any records or put reminders on the windshield, this should allow all of my cars engines to still be running strong at 200k miles. let's face it there is probably less than 1% of the population that keeps a car past 200k miles.
    1
  3628. Surely the oil change interval has to take time into consideration? 15K miles (24,000km) is a staggering distance without an oil change. What if the owner who is someone like me? Because I live less than 10min drive from work, it took me almost 5yrs to clock up 24,000km! Had I not changed the oil in that time it would probably look like crude oil, or worse, grease! I change my oil/filter every 6mths regardless of km's travelled. Excessive? Maybe but oil, like most everything else, gets old and a car with little use such as mine, likely doesn't get hot enough to disperse condensation in the engine or burn off fuel that seeps past the rings and into the oil. Effectively diluting it.
    1
  3629. I would suggest that you test new oil. Variation in additives in new oil may be part of the 10,000 mile lab results oddity.

  3640. Even Honda motorbikes has acknowledged the fact oil does not degrade over time and changes are now on mileage on my CMX 1100 and not by date except for the first service at 600 miles or 12 months for filter and oil after that it is by mileage. but when I use a bike" heavily " I will change the oil when I need to like after 1700 miles in a week on a Super Cub 125 with the throttle pinned 70% of the time it was definitely needed.
    1
  3641. The zero moisture content along with other good numbers indicates THAT car gets up to temperature an adequate amount of time to remove the moisture that will collect in an engine kept outside, and confirms a proper performing PCV system to carry away the "Huffing" that tends to increase as they break down and compression reduces via rings and cylinder wear. Think of the opposite like a "School Teacher's Car", driven short distances at a slow leisurely rate, with moisture accumulating all over the internals, like oil caps and valve covers. Even in the gas tank!

  3652.  @EndlessMoneyPits  One of the biggest issues I think I’ll be facing is with the carburetors. I plan to drain them completely and hope for the best. I’ve been having a lot of trouble keeping the bike running, so I think it’s best to follow your advice and drain the gas. I’d prefer not to mess with the brake fluid or clutch for now. Thanks again for all your help—I really appreciate it! By the way, the bike is an ’86 GSX-R 1100 with only 2,000 miles. I purchased it brand new.

  3653. @ Good question. There’s going to be a major change in my life that I never expected. I’m torn between trying to sell it or keeping it for as long as I can. Having a motorcycle inside the house with gas in the tank has been a terrible experience, even though the gas is already treated. Thank you for everything
    1
  3654. They told me the same thing.
    1
  3655. About 25 years ago one of the major motor oil companies did a similar test. They used a taxi company in Chicago and checked the oil at 5,7 and 10k miles. They reasoned a taxi in a large city would be the hardest on the oil. They found 7.5k miles is the maximum.
    1
  3656. Leaving the old oil filter on likely filtered the oil better on the 7,500 mile sample, just a guess because I’m not sure what the particle size of the metals are that are in the oil

  3658. Hey really great and informative video! I've found myself watching all of your videos recently, one of the 5mm screw for the sprocket cover is worn down and my hexkey is spinning in it unable to remove it at all, do you have any tricks for this? Thank you!
    1
  3659. People should not make any decisions based on this as: 1) Engine was not disassembled and checked at any point, so there is no way to tell how dirty engine became from inside 2) This was a one time test and does not reflect how dirty engine or oil would be after multiple long change intervals. Sure if you have a clean engine and try this once, it's likely not going to do much. 3) If you drive short trips in city often, it wears car and oil differently than driving on highway at steady speed 4) Driving location affects oil too. It is one thing to drive in Texas and another to drive in Alaska. Try city only driving for one cold winter to get an extreme example. 5) Different engine types behave differently. Many car magazines used a specific Mercedes engine to test fuels and oils back in the day as it was known to gather carbon build-ups. Same thing these days. Different engines behave differently and this was only one type of gasoline engine with one type of fuel injector system and other systems.

  3660. With BMW you don’t have to change the oil.
    1
  3661.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Lol you never know these days! There be all kinds of crazy in this world.
    1
  3662. Just my guess.. You may have 2 regimes: 1) 'chronic' from normal wear, based on miles between changes, & 2) 'acute' from red-lining. The extent of redlining is not really controlled, and so the amont of engine surface heat (vis tolerances) and 'acute' wear is unknown. You may attribute seen overall-wear to mostly chronic but I'd guess it may be more dominated by less-controlled acute. But hats off to you, as you've taken a stab at it, (while I just comment).
    1
  3663. so can you elaborate the conclusion? I believe 7k kms/ 7 months is the sweet spot.
    1
  3664. You started backwards. Should have started with 5K then 7.5 then 10. I dont trust the 5k and 7.5 k results as a result of starting out out 10K
    1
  3665.  @EndlessMoneyPits  looking forward to it
    1
  3666. Engine builders recommend 3k mile intervals if you're going to keep the car long term. 5k if you're keeping it for 2-300,000 miles. And every 10k if you plan on changing vehicles by 100k miles.
    1
  3667. Simple and straightforward. Thank you!

  3668. The adjustment of the clutch arm shown in this video works well and is the only adjustment you can make to take the slop out of the clutch cable. I don't know why Suzuki changed the position of the clutch arm, but moving it 1 tooth as shown in the video addresses the issue. The adjustment of the clutch rod, not shown in this video, which requires removal of the clutch cover only provides freeplay to ensure clutch engagement. The clutch rod adjustment will not take slop out of the cable.

  3669.  @EndlessMoneyPits  a new cable probably will be exactly the same as your old one. All the 2017+ Vstrom DL650 have the same slop in the clutch cable. The one tooth change in the clutch arm actually is a permanent fix IMHO. I do not remember this issue with my 2014 DL650 even though it uses the same clutch cable and set up.

  3672. The oil geek guy will have you changing your oil every time you fill it with gas.Change your oil every year or every 7000 miles and you are golden!

  3673. Having recently found out about the effects of freezing temperatures on oil (even new, sealed containers in a garage or shed) my advice is to change the oil every 5,000 miles or each spring, whichever comes sooner. Cold temperatures act on oil by separating out the additives that ensure friction reduction, adhesion, cleaning of surfaces and anti foaming. That last is particularly dangerous. Bubbles within the fluid will reduce the content of oil in a given volume, restricting the amount of surface area a pumped amount can cover, leading to excessively thin patches, and even metal against metal contact. If you have stored oil over winter outside, before using it, pour it into a clean jug, cut open the old container and check the bottom for grey sludge. If there's anything there, and your new oil looks less than crystal clear, that's the molybdenum and detergents etc left behind. Your "new oil" is already fit only for recycling. It was a shock to me too, I recently had to throw away (recycle) 5 litres of expensive synthetic Castrol, and had to dump the oil from my motorbike after only 18 miles when I realised I'd used duff oil. A warning sign was when I stopped at a petrol station I looked in the sight glass to check the oil level and saw BUBBLES on the surface. Which means, of course there were bubbles IN the oil too... when it was supposed to be lubricating. It's a fascinating subject. Great video, thanks.

  3674. Really? Bc she drove with him and drove the car back. so now! she is just automatically the ONE? What kinda logic is that. He'll nah, I would respect her & Appreciate her for it but if she toxic or cheats or something I'm not sticking around, and surely not treating her like she is the queen for doing something I would do for her also

  3675. Thanks ! Great job sharing with us what we need to do to maintain our bike ! Thanks again !

  3676. Thank God it's easier on a Yaris sedan! When I changed my 2007 sedan's bulbs, I had to adjust the light beam aim. It was off quite a bit. I noticed you have a BikesDirect "Gravity" brand bike (at least the box).

  3677. I do 5k miles or less. (I tow alot in the summer) my vehicles tend to last quite a long time with minimal issues. Actually ive mever had engine related problems. Its always been acessory issues. Alternator, wiper motor, water pump. Ive never had an engine go out on me. Oil is cheap (comparatively), trucks are not.

  3678. Hello again… Please, I would like to know if the one you have mounted is the 3.5” or the 6” one. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙏🏻. Thank you very much! Best regards.
    1
  3679. Hi! That's right, it's the 6" one, you currently have the 3.5" option on the doubletakemirror website. I've always thought the 6" one is better, thanks for your quick reply, greetings from Spain!
    1
  3680. Too much work for all that
    1
  3681. Great vid, but like why do you use Castrol? It's the worst oil out there. you would be better off using shell oil ;) I'm saying this as i work at a workshop and i know the oils.
    1
  3682. Is the oil Long Life 3 or 4 ?? In UK BMW recommend Long Life 4. Quantum or Castro !!

  3683. Yeah, the upper 3 positions look useless anyway

  3687. ​ @EndlessMoneyPits  no worries. I enjoyed your video, it was very informative. I'm positive the two hard lines along the engine (upper and lower) are made out of plastic, the same material you have on either end of the OEM radiator. That type of hard plastic. I have them on hand and am about to replace those two hard lines as well as all the hoses in the cooling system of my ZHP. Keep up the great work on your videos! 👍
    1
  3688.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I'm actually quite reluctant to change these also. The only times I've seen these fail is when the owner has changed them out for an inferior newer part. Sadly you have to be a lot more wary now with parts. OE brands that were good 20 years ago are getting parts made in China on the cheap. Even the genuine parts aren't necessarily good now.
    1
  3689.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I've had no luck with Bosch either. Even the damn cabin filters they make don't fit now lol. I honestly hate buying plugs for anything now as there's so many knock offs online. I've seen really cheap "genuine" BMW ones on Ebay and there's just no way in hell those can be genuine at that price.
    1
  3690. Honestly I'd do another 10k mile change analysis. You might have gotten counterfeit oil in your first 10k test which is not that rare with Castrol, at least in Europe.
    1
  3691. Where can I get these levers to buy?

  3693. My truck only goes 1-2k miles per year. Mostly short trips. I recently switched to Amsoil’s mid grade oil and the visual difference has been stark. After 500-1000 miles Mobile One syn. would turn noticeably dark to black. By now it would be black as coal. Conversely the Amsoil hardly changed in color at all and still has its Amber color. I have always felt that changing oil on vehicle running good synthetic ever year was ludicrous. My truck is a nicely kept, outdoor kept 2005 Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 with a K&N air filter that sees a lot of dirt/ off road during hunting season.
    1
  3694. No. I’m not changing my oil too often. 3000-5000 miles and you’ll be okay.
    1
  3695. You should have said oil is cheap, piece of mind is very expensive.

  3700. How is lead caused by "engine wear"? What part of the engine is made from lead?
    1
  3701.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I believe you, I just wasn't aware that any quantity of lead was still used in automobile engines.
    1
  3702. 5k if you're under 200k, 3k if you're over

  3703. Installed hyper flash harness and it solved the hyperflash issue, but now there is no flasher sound and the hazard lights only work with button held in. Wondering if there will be a fix forthcoming.
    1
  3704. Have you seen the oil color at 5k.....change it at 3000-4000
    1
  3705. more
    1
  3706. Turbo charged between 5 and 7 thousand miles Normal Aspirated engines every 10 thousand miles is more than adequate for any Modern engine using good quality fully synthetic Oils designed for your engine type.
    1
  3707. Always wondered.
    1
  3708. 2 oil changes per year as I drive aprox 30 k km, engine is super clean inside. Oil is more brown than black at the changing moment. D4D 300k km on odo.😉
    1
  3709. Just an FYI.....liquimolly is designed for 20,000km use (similar to the long life golden castrol jugs) and rottella T6 is designed for 19,000km. Just a thought if you wanna try them. 😊But id suggest u do annual and not 2 yr oil changes if you dont drive much. Thats the Euro routine in years if not by Km/Mi.
    1
  3710. ​@EndlessMoneyPits If these videos return ok money. You should look to rope in some people who do high miles/ km's but not necessarily highway miles/km's.

  3711. You’re like the Bill Nye of cars. You’ve got a new fan for your channel
    1
  3712. Oil and filters are cheap compared to engines. Change the oil and filter at 5000 miles and forget all this analysis crap for the longevity of your engine. If you are doing it just for the videos, fine.
    1
  3713. I agree with ‘dimos5422’ but I’d like to add that after your 10k oil change your NEXT oil change at 5.1k had RESIDUAL metals that would have shown up anyway. I would do another 5k and see the results and NOT 10k. My 2¢ …
    1
  3714. My switch wasn’t working and this saved me a lot of money! Thank you so much!
    1
  3715. 1500 mi oil changes top the rest of it is b*****
    1
  3716. 200,000 on my duramax diesel using Amsoil 15-40 and a 25,000 mile oil filter. I change every 10-15,000 and everything seems fine. The truck is falling apart around the engine but that is a different story.
    1
  3717. I just change my oil twice a year no matter what the mileage is for 6 months because you may drive more or less each year
    1
  3718. When clicking on the troubleshootcompatibility button here (1:19) my pc says it dose not have a app to open it. what do i need to download? also can i use this software to find the problem my e46 have? its switching by it self if it want to roll the starter or not when turning the key and i can not find the problem...

  3719. i dont change oil just add as needed reaching 389,000 on my jeep xj 4.0
    1
  3720. I get my oil change one a year
    1
  3721. 15k is probably pushing it. 7-10k is probably what it should be.
    1
  3722. My engine oil at 4000KM color too black, so I change every 4000KM.
    1
  3723. oil change is so cheap and engine is expensive. if you cheapen on oil change, you are a fool.
    1
  3724. Well done how to!
    1
  3725. I would say send in a sample at 10,000 mi but tell them that it was 5000 just to see how that affects their analysis.
    1
  3726. Many European cars have 7-12 quart capacity. More oil, means longer drain intervals before the oil is depleted and needs replaced.

  3727. "Errrrvey three thousand miiiiles er ye'll roon yer motur!! 😂😂

  3728. My last car was a basic 1300cc from 1994. I bought it at about 10 years old with 42,000 miles on the clock. I changed the oil at that time but then left it for the next 13 years and approx 100,000 miles (the mileometer had stopped working by then). The engine ran absolutely fine and the oil looked great.

  3729. Those 2 lil clips are a pain manufacturer should've just put a bolt on the other side like the one you take out...

  3734. How about splitting open the oil filter and spread out in a shallow black pan. Soak with a bit of thinner and then take out to air dry it. Then look for shinny metal debris. Any plan to switch to Vavoline Restore & Protect?. Regards.

  3735. Great video. Can I use this on my '08 E66 750li 4.8 v8 and '05 X5 E53 4.4 v8 and '05 545i 4.4 v8 on windows 10 laptop?

  3737. So just use one if factory did.

  3738. @ i knew it. A lit are saying we have electrict water pump. I for what i know, after 2005 os when theybstarted that electrict water pump. So i know it has to be bled like any other cars.
    1
  3739. Interesting video. Thank you. We have a 2017 X3 that until last year we always serviced according to the maintenance minder. So oil changes were typically done at 12,000 km (7200 miles). The X3 now has approx 195,000 kms on it (117,000 miles) and at the last oil change at our trusted import garage, the mechanic was asking about oil change intervals and told me that 12k is far too long and we should do it every 5,ooo kms, maybe stretch it out too 7,000kms at most. So not very different from your test results. He told me that the BMW motors are are pretty sensitive to changes in oil, hence the 5-7k recommendation. It goes in again on Monday.
    1
  3740. Well on my 04 dodge truck I have the electric fan hooked up to the ignition so that when the key is on the fan is running so the motor stays at one temp I have heat from the blower inside and the oil never turns black like oil does
    1
  3741. Do you really need to change the oil?
    1
  3742. Thanks man. Side note: I did manage to get those two plugs behind the left fairing without removing it 😊
    1
  3743. I'm thinking the flashpoint dropped because the most volatile part of the oil probably gassed off.
    1
  3744. Verry clean paint.
    1
  3745. I change when it turns to black/dRk brown.
    1
  3746. That long for shipping what rate did you pay 5 cents.?
    1
  3747. What is the 6 month oil change about ? I.e. 5k miles or 6 months, what ever is first.
    1
  3748. I'm curious as to what this means in terms of how often you should change the oil filter?
    1
  3749. Changing your own oil is cheap. Why chance it? There is absolutely nothing wrong with "overchanging" your oil. I'm not chancing a 10,000 mile oil change interval. 5,000 miles, every single time. I used to change it every 3,000 miles back in the 90's, so 5,000 miles seems like a long time to me, but I know how much synthetic oil has changed the game.
    1
  3750. I thought over filling the reservoir with coolant can hurt the bike?
    1
  3751. Excellent video
    1
  3752. What jack stands are these?
    1
  3753. Love the video but the results are skewed. Every test should be the same except for the OCI. Using the same motor oil filter for OCI #3 doesn't provide accurate results. Lastly and most importantly, if you're going to do a 10k mile OCI, you need to pick a Motor Oil that can survive 10k. Mobil 1 Extended Performance as an example along with a filter that can run 20k. Then do the 3 tests identically except for the OCI. Change the oil and filter each time. The results will be way more accurate and will surprise you!
    1
  3754. My cars last forever I don't buy any of it 3,000 miles do it myself cheap piece of mind knowing my engine will go another 50,000 miles before you have to replace the timing chain I don't think any of you thought about that did you. cleaner oil means less wear less wear = longevity
    1
  3755. Will the parts in the description work the same for the 4.0?
    1
  3756. How different is the counter weight? Is less or more heavy? I'm concerned about this because this mode can affect the handling causing vibration

  3757. Nice vid from a fellow Oregonian 👌🏻

  3763. My experience with my Audi A3 8P Sportback 1.9 tdi 105 2009, BLS engine, I used to replace oil Castrol Edge 5W30 LL with filter once a year, every 8.000Km (5.000 miles), at 220.000 km, I had an issue with valve hydraulic lifters and I had to replace them with camshaft, so I got the lesson, in extreme weather conditions like in my country, dust and heat and bad quality fuel, and also my harsh driving style, it has no sense to leave the oil for a whole year, it should be replaced each six months.
    1
  3764. Nobody is mentioning the difference between the petrol and diesel engines though,the latter generally needs more regular changes as they don't run as clean.
    1
  3765. My oil and oil filter that I just replaced both say "protects for up to 20k miles", but I think I'll just replace it around 5k-6k
    1
  3766. If you are not changing your oil every 3,000 miles you are rich and can buy a new car anytime
    1
  3767. I change synthetic oil on; 1,000 5,000 4,000 5,000 5,000 until car death.
    1
  3768. If your oil level doesn’t go down between services, chances are it’s being ‘topped up’ and diluted by fuel escaping past the piston rings. Which is another reason for frequent oil changes as gasoline and diesel are relatively poor lubricants.
    1
  3769. Scotty Kilmer is gonna sue you for copyright infringement :yougotthis:

  3770. I shall change mine every 5000 miles no matter what

  3771. Got an 2009 Honda pilot I got with 112k miles on it. Oil didn’t get changed until I put a new timing chain in it at 220k miles. It got redlined daily. It’s still running with 295k miles and no other oil change. I’m seeing how long it’ll last like this.
    1
  3772. Man. Thank you for this excellent experiment!
    1
  3773. Did you notice a difference driving after installing these
    1
  3774. @Endless Money Pits  I just daily mine but yeah man thanks ill probably install them soon myself
    1
  3775. I was told oil lasted for the lifetime of the vehicle and I haven't had any problems so far.
    1
  3776. Your 10,000 mile oil has a different additive composition, nullifying your test results.

  3778. So where did you buy that kit? Local part store doesnt have that.

  3779. Wow this is great. Can I use it with an E39 too?
    1
  3780. I was going to say if you got that strobing thing going on that's usually related to an alternator putting out more current than it should
    1
  3781. problem can cause fuses to fail, lights to were out early
    1
  3782. If you completely remove the fuse box you can dump any excess fluid out along with its runny debris
    1
  3783. It's not pulsing worse than before it's pulsing better because you cleaned all the connections lol it's got to be that alternator over output
    1
  3784. Wth lol
    1
  3785.  @EndlessMoneyPits  yeah the voltage regulator is supposed to correct it to DC output but that's usually built into the alternator when they go bad they usually put out AC instead.. it's just that when an alternator does that it could potentially explode the battery maybe are you going through the batteries more often
    1
  3786. Synthetic every 5k miles no matter what. Anything more is unnecessary risk.
    1
  3787. I just change my oil every 3000 miles, no need to over think it.
    1
  3788. That's most your problem right there redlining that sucker all the time That's not a NASCAR dude it's a street car you want that engine to last change your oil regularly and stop trying to redline to sucker like you're at Daytona
    1
  3789. I don’t believe you can change oil to much. I change mine every 3000miles and have had vehicles go over 300k miles.
    1
  3790. From what I see, on the 3rd oil analysis, the formula of the oil is different from the 1st an 2nd analysis. The values of calcium are duplicate and the formula doesn't contains magnesium. Another point is that this formula doesn't contain molybdenum. These variables have to be considered in order to evaluate the wear ratios, not only the mileage on the oil sample. I would assume that the increase wear values are also related with the new formula. It would be nice to know the values of TBN to conclude if the oil is worn out with 10.000 miles, but I would add a second conclusion to the video: Molybdenum seems to reduce the wear ratio on M54/M54 engines.
    1
  3791. how do i figure out which sprockets i specifically need?
    1
  3792. If people actually read the manual before making a video they would know A. The bike MUST be on the side stand, not with the weight of the bike compressing the suspension by supporting the bike on the swing arm. B. The chain slack spec is 1"-1 3/8" and NEVER to exceed 1 15/16"

  3801. It will be interested to know the rate of deterioration of oil with time. Let say someone does less than 3000 miles per year. Is that oil still good at the end of the year ? What happens after that time frame?

  3808. Great looking car, but what a hard life the engine has had. Send in the final sample when the engine finally gives up.
    1
  3809. I question the idea that oil breaks down that quickly when not being used. If you believe that it does, then every time you buy oil you should look at when it was made as it must be breaking down in the container, right? What I do know is, if you use your car most days for very short trips, then you should change it at least once a year because it will be absorbing water and not getting hot enough to evaporate it. However, if you only drive once a or twice a week and the engine spends most of it's time at operating temperature, I don't believe you need to change it until you've driven the distance you normal change at.
    1
  3810. Unless your car burns so much oil that topping it up is the oil change

  3814. I change the oil in my 2002 Rav4 once every three years with conventional oil and have had zero engine problems to date. As long as you can still observe that the oil still holding its viscosity and is still relatively clean the engine oil should be fine. I'm just cheap that's all and my 21 year old Rav4 still run perfectly with minimal maintenance.

  3816. VW recommends 15, 000km oil change on my Golf R. I run stage 2 and my oil actualy runs 10c cooler than at stock due to advanced timing. So, i continued on with the 15k interval because of lower oil temp. But i have reconsidered this and will change it every 10k purely because of my spirited driving.
    1
  3817. When I bought my first car it was badly neglected by previous owner and visibly gunky inside. I bought quality oil and changed at half the recommended interval for i think 2 years. It cleaned out all the scum. When I basically gave the car to my neighbours kid he took the engine apart. "It is like new inside, the pistons dropped out on their own". Since then I learned the truth -- EVERY auto I've owned, went to the junk pile with a perfect running engine, and rusted or fractured frame segments, failed transmissions hello hello -ppl always ignore this part. Assume auto transmission has "lifetime oil" while pulling trailer or driving fast. The car will be ruined by accident or expensive components like subframe failure transmission and axle failure before the engine wears out.

  3821. I see that oil is API SN rated oil. You should definitely try this with an API SP rated oil. Maybe something like a Penzoil, Mobil 1, or even Quaker. That SP is supposed to be a good improvement over SN. If you want to get fancy try HPL or Amsoil!

  3822. Changing my oil every 5k was easy to remember compared to the 6k that's suggested. My car now has 250k on it and my car still needs no oil added between oil changes.

  3841. 1. thank you for your work and reports. 2. My car is not a BMW. However, I will make some comments that relate to oil changes. My car purchased new as a 2004 model. The warranty was for 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever came first! The service recommendations in a manual aren't there to get you through 19 years. You have to make decisions on servicing. 3. My "oil changes" have multiple purposes. The oil change is done on a lift. You may have been told that there is no such thing as a lube job anymore with "modern cars". Wrong. Everywhere there a rubberized type seals. If they are not lubricated and crack, you will have expensive repairs. All kinds of things may have happened. Fasteners fall out. Sure, I keep a box of plastic fasteners for the specific car. However, recently, I had to make metal ones like the old days and the two I made would never have been visible from a home done oil change. The next time, I am going to have the suspension reviewed, the sway bar and whether the bolts on the frame are tightened. I will have the radiator fluid flushed at the next "oil change". The design of the power steering reservoir does not permit a turkey baster purge so that will be done as well. Also an inspection of the tires. 4. Motor oil doesn't deteriorate from sitting in a container or in a container in a car. It deteriorates from heat, intrusive chemicals/dust. A poorly chosen or designed oil filter that does not remove foreign matter causes undesired engine wear. So, for me, obtaining and providing the best quality oil filter to the mechanic at the time the car goes on the lift is the only way to go. I go with the "factory" oil filter. 5. Frequency of change. In 19 years, the driving conditions have changed radically. No more job commuting. Maybe 2 250 mile round trips a year. No more off road driving with the car on dirt roads. Multiple urban starts and stops of a mile or so. So YOU do the research and learn what happens with the oil when you start the engine. How starting the car from not operating to operating forces oil through the engine. This means you might think that filtering is more critical than whether you use regular oil or synthetic oil.

  3846. The correct oil change interval will highly depend on the condition of the engine, driving distances, ambient temperatures, engine manufacturer, driver's use and abuse of engine and other factors. This test conclusion was only meaningful in this specific case.

  3862. Clean/flush the sample bottle next time before sampling. Can make a huge different. At my job we send samples every month, and if we don´t clean the sampling bottle before fill up we fail in amount of particles in the fluid. Grate video by the way. I drive a Volvo v70 XC and have 350000km, had the car for 13 years and do oil change every 10000km and uses the cheapest oil I can find as long as the recommended spec is fulfilled. Maybe changed to often, but does not ruin. /Joakim, Sweden

In between 21 years ownership and since it was a new from dealer I have been doing oil change intervals at 5-7K with full synthetic 0-40 /5-40 Mobil 1 as of the manual recommended oil by myself, never dealer/ garage/shop and the car is still running great as well as now, it’s mostly daily car plus a bit spirited, now at 221K on Ado ! I mean 7K is safer for the engine plus clean 😊

  3873. I change my oil every six months usually 1500 to 2000 miles. Cheap if you do it yourself.
    1
  3874. Maybe the slight variations in things like sodium and calcium are due to slight variations from batch to batch in the oil when it's new?

  3879. I had this problem with my e90…. If all the settings on the Comm are correct then start Inpa then connect the cable to the laptop turn power on in the car and lastly plug obd connector to the car. This was the only way my works. I did the install and set up how the video explains but connected it in different steps….. good luck

  3880. what chain did you use to replace the original?

  3881. No mention of the oil degrading from 6 months onwards. This video is on good for those that do high mileage within the 6 or so month timeframe.

I'm a retired mechanic from the 70's ..This video is really interesting ..I don't drive much ..use synthetic Castroil but still cannot leave it in for over a Year .. I call it Cheap Insurance ..

  3885. Changing your oil every year or 15K km is a good practice for long lasting life both petrol (gas) especially for diesel with partial filter and definitely driving enough to warm up the engine oil to regenerate the DPF and burn the ash.
    1
  3886. I change my oil every 10,000 miles. The KEY is to use a top 5 full synthetic oil and any top 5 synthetic oil filter. I personally use Penzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic oil with a Purolator synthetic Boss filter and my truck runs and sounds like new. All this stuff about changing the oil at 3k is a bunch of OLD SCHOOL B.S. unless you have a turbo motor. They do need changing at 3k to 5k.

  3887. As AC/DC would say "Oh, stick this in your fuse box!". (Thanks for the video!)

  3888. I've been wondering about two year interval/low mileage oil changes for ages but could never got a firm answer until now. I only drive 2-3,000 miles per year but changed my oil annually. Maybe now I'll stretch that to 2 years between changes. 😅

  3892. Good video! Please,if you can help me,is it normal when shifting from 5 to 6 gear to feel a knock in my engine/gearbox?this is hapening also when i release the throttle or when i accelerate from resting rpm (only in 6 gear).sorry for my english Thank you!

  3896. I am the original owner of a 1994 Chevy Silverado Z71 with a350/V8 it has never given me any problems I've only had one tune up every 100,000 miles and I am on the 500,000 mile mark with the original engine untouched, my magic number is every 5,000 miles I changed the oil and honestly it seems like it could go longer because it still has transparency it's not black.
    1
  3897. I do our cars myself as it's too easy. We have an AC Schnitzer 540i and an S500L Mercedes. I do them twice a year. Transmission once a year.

  3898. When in doubt just change the oil.
    1
  3899. I noticed on my 2022 cbr shifter that the piece that runs into the gearbox has a dimple in it for easy alignment once I need to put the lever back into place, which is nice
    1
  3900. I also do all of my own oil changes and have always changed it by how dark it looks. If it gets to around 50% transparency by looking at it in the sun light I change it, no matter the miles. Some of our cars will go more than 5,000 miles and the oil still looks good. If we are going on vacation I always change it before we leave no matter how many miles the oil has on it. Oil is very cheap, so it's imposable to change it to often. LOL, I have cases of oil filters setting around for cars we don't even own any longer.
    1
  3901. I also have a 300 amp alternator and I'm going to purchase the exact adjustable voltage regulator you showing your video. The only difference is my 300 amp alternator takes two wire plug. Should it be the exact wiring that you do with your 2Wire module connector on your alternator?
    1
  3902. I know one guy I've seen his car I talked to him also. He has a Mercedes S63 W221 M157 with upgraded turbos producing about 700bhp. He has also replaced front seats with carbon AMG GT seats he is fighting car weight. He does oil change every 3000Km thats 1864 Miles. He has specifically built his own little work shop just for his car & minor work for other customers. I have a Mercedes GL500 x166 M157 4.7 Bi-Turbo engine I do service every 7500Km/4660miles.

  3907. I was informed by my Subaru dealer that I need to change my Sti’s oil every 3k instead of the 6k the manual suggests. Am I crazy or is that bs?
    1
  3908. There are too many variables. And, you can’t possibly account for all of them. The most important variable is likely the mileage on a vehicle. My 165k ford expedition gets new oil every 3k miles. And I keep my fingers crossed every time I drive my vehicle.
    1
  3909. It’s cheap insurance, just change it every 5,000 miles. Use full synthetic, do it yourself and stop being a cheapskate!

  3910. Great video! Interesting results!

  3911. Welp……. The problem is the Castrol oil!!! Use pennzoil platinum and see the difference! I promise you it will be much better.

  3912. If you DIY, five quarts of conventional oil and a new filter will set you back around $30 depending on where you live. For synthetic motor oil and a new filter, it'll cost around $45 plus tax. Oil lubes, cools, and CLEANS. How much to replace the engine? Like to gamble?

  3915. I just did this job and this video was a great help. The 2010 Yaris I changed the lights on had spent its life in Ontario so the hardware was not in great shape. If you're from the snow/rust/salt belt plan on replacing the headlight bolts. Also the 2010 model had different style plastic clips - not more difficult to deal with or anything, but they have a cap locking piece that you remove before taking out the main clip.

  3916. Hey boss I replaced the chain and sprockets on my 2013 cbr from watching ur video and followed the steps accordingly. The everything went in to place as it should like in the video but when I rotate the rear wheel I hear a ticking sound from the front sprocket area and can’t figure out what’s up, any thoughts?
    1
  3917. @ I’ll double check, and what would I have to do if it is just a chain noise? Because I’ve already aligned the chain several times thinking that was the problem at first.

  3919. $30 per sample? Sounds cheaper to just change the oil.

  3923. IMPORTANT NOTE 🗒 🗒 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 03:50 notice that when he undo the 3rd of 4 bolts that keep the engine aligned with the frame , the whole engine leaned downward ??? then he puts the jackstand and lifts the engine . WRONG THE engine mounts MUST be aligned to the frame mounts dead on !! if not ...hello vibrations and probably engine mounts damage youre welcome
    1
  3924.  @EndlessMoneyPits  ive been doing this for over 30 years now mate . just today another cbx came in complaining about vibrations . crash bars were installed in the dealership. i never use the screws provided . i use different washers . i align the engine to the mounts and 0 center everything together . im sorry you dont understand how critical this is . everyone reading this comment ( if they own a cbx ) know how much of a hustle is to fix vibrations . with my screws , my washers and a certain way of reshaping crash bars i make cbx's even better than without crash bars . you should take this opportunity and start wondering if you want to be a better man .

  3925.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Yeah man. Super helpful. And no worries, you explained it enough that I was able to get it done and removed completely. Just need to figure out the correct way to clean this rust out (not a lot but there’s enough). I’ll definitely leave an update when I get it going again :). Ride safe brother!

  3930. I just changed the engine oil and filter in my 2000 Toyota 4RUNNER, at 7,500 miles, I think it was the Mobil 1 10k mile oil that was in there, it was black but not thin, i.e. the viscosity seemed OK. I would have liked to have done it sooner, at say 6k miles, but was unable to do so. This time, I used Mobil 1, 20k mile oil, not because I want to do more miles before the next change, I just want to give it the best chance of longevity. It's presently at 204,000+ miles. I again used a Toyota oil filter, but they are no longer made in the USA, they are now made in Thailand, this doesn't inspire confindence.

  3933. I have two part question: Can I use this scanner to do recalibration after I placed the transfer case or replacing the battery? How many NT710 out there? I see some priced at $300 and other NT710 at $160. Are they the same?
    1
  3934. is this a manual tranny that you're "redlining" the RPM in 1st gear for the old-fashioned "knock the carbon out" practice?

  3935. Will this work on any high output alternator

  3936. Great video. Confirmed what I suspected.
    1
  3937. Depends how much you love the car. Every 5k miles or less (or 6 months), synthetic, new filter, if the car is your baby. If its a knock around junker, and you have backup, screw it, go 10k miles, 15k miles, etc. Oil labs test results are great. But they don't tell the entire story. And when your car suffers internal engine issues because you decided on extended intervals, I seriously doubt blackstone labs is going to step in and help pay the repair bill.

    1
  3948. I’ve found as I drive very frequently that I must change my oil between 5k-7k miles due to the amount of oil that I lose which is about .4qts every 1000miles so I have to add oil to top it off every 1k miles
    1
  3949. The mileage recommandations are for normal use under ideal conditions. If you floor it every day, if you tow things, if you drive a lot in the city, if you do short travels in the winter, etc, you should change oil more frequently. Also those analysis are interesting, but it proves nothing. It's 1 single bad sample taken from an engine that is way past it's intended life expectancy
    1
  3950. So, if we use 41 rear and 15 front sprocket, ordering the 112 link chain with master link, do we have to remove one more link? Since that would add up to 113? Seems like a mess. Thank you.
    1
  3951. Removing one more link from the chain before putting it on is not easy. I wanted to ride this to a trip tomorrow. Not gonna work.

  3952. Please check all the way up to 30 000km which is the maximum distance recommended in the instrument cluster. It would be interesting. /BMW TECH

  3953.  @EndlessMoneyPits  No worries, you are doing a great job, perhaps you could show the contentlevels of the oil with a graph, this would be a bit easier to follow than your spreadsheet. Keep doing a good job :)
    1
  3954. I’m confused, after the 10k sample the advice was more frequent oil changes but after the 7.5k sample they advise 10k miles as appropriate? The data for the first sample is so far from the others indicates it fell off a cliff somewhere between 7.5 and 10k or something was different .
    1
  3955. Hey my Honda Cbr500 wont accelerate when I throttle, what does that indicate I should service on my bike? Thank you for the informative videos :) I plan to follow along your steps in repairing my bike after the problem is diagnosed.

  3956.  @EndlessMoneyPits  No the bike was all good and then it started suddenly, I rolled the bike back home with it in 5th gear going 10mph
    1
  3957. When the oil gets dark it’s time to change it. It doesn’t matter if it’s 500 or 5000. I keep the intervals short. Besides that. Changing your oil at 5000 over 200,000 miles is 40 oil changes. That’s $4,000 over time to make sure your engine doesn’t fail.
    1
  3958. That little oil isn't for getting extra seal
    1
  3959.  @EndlessMoneyPits  no it isn't

  3960. This is only good for the M52. If you have a VVT-I type engine or anything “American” that uses 5w30 or lower oil, your intervals are going to change, as they also will for city driving or towing, working use. THE OWNERS MANUAL will tell you what the max miles to change oil IN OPTIMAL CONDITIONS!!!!! The new 20k oil change guarantee on the bottles is bogus. As is 100% synthetic oil. There is no full chemically created oil for engine use to the COMMERCIAL market. There are som race oils that are 100% synthetic…….intervals for changing…….EVERY RACE, could be a 2 lap or a 72 lap, does not matter. Race oil is change MORE often. Lab test of oil are just that, tests. They are just a small piece of the larger oil question. You really want to ensure your oil is clean and all that, change your oil as often as you can afford. Changing oil sooner is better than changing oil later.

  3970. awwww forget about man...just buy a new car...who cares about the oil...
    1
  3971. But if it's full of dirt(carbon) that is produced in the combustion processes it doesn't matter how slippery or robust the oil viscosity is... the bearings are going to wear from the particles trapped in said slippery oil.

  3972. every 6 months or 5k miles, no problems.

  3973. I have an M52b25tu E46 323i , I knew these engines were indestructible, I came here wishing you had an M54 cuz I wanted to know exactly how solid the thinner piston Rings would be compared to the thicker ones on the M52 , clearly i wasn’t wrong about the M52 at all , it is probably BMW is peak when it comes to longevity and over all reliability!
    1
  3974. I always tell friends when the subject comes up. You need to find out if your vehicle has a timing belt or chain. If it’s a chain you should probably change your oil more frequently to save wear and tear on the chain (5000 mi). If you have timing belt, you can wait a little longer(7500 mi). Check oil and volume up as necessary. A timing belt needs to be changed every 100000 mi. Normally, a timing chain (non-interference engine) runs to failure. Clean oil helps it last longer.
    1
  3975. 2:46 shouldn't this be explained as the longer oil change resulted in degraded oil with more suspension that accelerated wear? if the wear is linear then what's the point of lowering the OCI in the first place? i would expect the wear to get worse as the oil ages so the result actually confirms the need to change more frequently no?

  3983. I’m not sure if I followed up but should you drain the coolant from the radiator first before removing the expansion tank?
    1
  3984. Time and season matter, too. I follow a summer/winter interval (6 months). The car is run almost daily, but after 6 months it only accumulates 2500 miles. Our summers reach 100F and our winters reach 0F, and the car always runs smoother after the oil change. Part of that is due to all the short trips and part is due to the large temperature changes.
    1
  3985. Every 3,000 miles engine oil, 30,000 gear oil for our Alaska vehicles. They don't use salt (too cold) so vehicles can last many decades. DYI and it is inexpensive and our vehicles all run over 200,000 miles.

  3988. Use Redline or Better yet Amsoil. 5w-30 and test at 10,000km. See if it's better than Castrol Edge.
    1
  3989.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Thats true, some European luxury cars don't have a dipstick, and some quick lube places are prohibited from changing the oil on such cars because they can't quickly double check the oil level after an oil change. I've also seen some Audis that will even tell you when it's time to throw another quart of oil in there. This drives some little old lady Audi owners nuts.
    1
  3990.  @EndlessMoneyPits  My 2025 VW Atlas HAD no dipstick. I bought one the first week I owned the car, pulled out the plug where one should be and put in the dipstick. Why do they elimate the dipstick and put in it's place a plug? I will never know. I too will not really on a sensor to tell me how much oil my car has.
    1
  3991. IF YOU WOULD TAKE SAMPLE OF OIL THAT IS TAKEN IN LATER TIME OF THE SPIL - THE OIL WOULD HAVE MORE METALS. BECAUSE METALS TEND TO ACCUMULATE AT THE BOTTOM. YOU TAKE SAMPLE FROM EARLY ON WHEN DRAINING, IT MAY NOT SHOW REAL SITUATION ABOUT METALS. UNLESS YOU HAVE DRIVEN CAR JUST BEFORE DRAINING OIL. Also your oil batch changes, so you cant compare and be sure that just because you used the same oil it was really the same.

  3999. 5k miles recommendation is a total scam. The same cars with the same engines in Europe require 10k+ km interval.
    1
  4000. I would think that going between 7500 and 10k would be a good test. Sense these are just single samples you don't know if you'll get the same result every time, but if you go 8k or 9k you can get a better idea if it's consistent and where the actual breakdown point is.
    1
  4001. so what was the result, seemed like they recommended every thing under the sun time wise and it all tested ok, so bottom line change oil whenever you want doesn't really matter.
    1
  4002. very interesting results, i’ve been changing my oil every 3 thousand if not sooner as i work at an oil change shop and it’s free. After seeing this video could this be causing any premature wear to the engine? the car is sitting at 246k still running strong.
    1
  4003. Awesome and very clear video! Would you happen to know what size crush washer comes with the oil change kit? Unfortunately mine was missing :(
    1
  4004. 6k is usually when I change my oil. 5k for my Harley
    1
  4005. Something that really matters are the amount of oil the car takes as well. More oil = longer change intetvals.

  4011.  @rt2255  How is doing an informative oil analysis once or twice for the average car owner any more of a "waste of cash" than doing extra and unnecessary premature oil changes for years and years over the lifetime of the car? That's where the waste is. The average car owner does not need to know how many parts per million of nickel or tin are in the oil, but what an oil analysis provides that is extremely valuable is a bottom line of whether the oil is being dumped too far in advance. And for probably the vast, vast majority of the driving public it is.

  4023. Length of oil change depends on how large the oil pan is. You can do 12 to 15k in a big truck but the pan holds 11gal of oil or so, pending on the make. You can also get larger oil pans for those motors. We have an 08 jeep compass with 200k, and i had a dakota with 300k. Both had oild changes at 3k miles. Dad has an 03 hemi in a ram. I have no idea how many miles are on that thing, but he's done it every 5k. It takes 6qt, my dakota takes 4qt. I have a 2500 ram with a 392 that takes 7qt. Now if it's worked hard firbthat cycle. I'll do 3k, if not, 5k. Worked hard meaning pulling 15k lbs for half the miles. Just use yse your heads. Oh and the jeep has a lifetime warranty from mopar that we've never used, but we fully intend on running it to find out how long it will go.

  4025. We run Amsoil 0w-16 full synth in our 2022 Lexus hybrid. Sent in an oil sample with 12k miles on it and Blackstone’s analysis proved it had less wear metal and contaminants than universal averages for oil with only 6k miles on it. Viscosity was on point, additives and detergents were much higher than average, and plenty of TBN left. We recently switched to Amsoil’s new line of 0W-16 made specifically for hybrids and will change it in 15k mi intervals from now on

  4026. The only SP-Daten files available for NCS dummy are e39 and e46. I'm trying to turn aux on in e87 116i. Please could you provide a link to download the relevant Daten files? Bimmergeeks is unavailable. Is there no way to get the files for this, i.e. is it now not possible to use this software for anything other than e39 and e46? Are the relevant DATEN files installed alongside the K-DCAN driver software/when it is plugged into the car? If not, does the original NCSEXPER/DATEN folder come with all the relevant chassis'? If so is it worth not deleting this folder and replacing it with the contents of ec-apps? Or is there a specific reason why we do this that would prevent the app from running?
    1
  4027. They said not to do the 10k oil change then said change at 5k, okay great then said 7500k ehhhh idk if I'd push extra mileage but ok then they said you should be okay at the 9-10k interval.... well which one is it
    1
  4028. In general running up the rpms frequently isn’t nearly as hard on an engine as many cold starts and short trips ( two mile trips) will kill the oil and the engine!
    1
  4029. This is not entirely accurate. It depends on several factors. City or highway driving, short or long distance, how long you drive after the engine and oil are at operating temperature, etc. I had a 5.0 Mustang that I changed oil every 7.5k, because I drove it hard and participated in auto cross driving several times a month. Even at that interval, my oil was still good. But, when I drove the car to work, 75% of the trip is highway mileage. If I did a lot of stop and go, traffic, I'd probably change every 3.5k to 5k. Also, some engines are harder on oil. If your car is turbo charged, I would choose more frequent oil changes.

  4030. In Europe, Castrol 5-30 is about 2x more expensive, the packaging is also different

  4031. My engine oil is clear do I need to change regardless of duration and mileage
    1
  4032. Great
    1
  4033. Never!!! As Far as I am concerned you cannot change your oil too soon… All you have to do is look at the oil on your dip stick and if it’s turning brown, it’s polluted with combustion byproducts and the metal that is already being produced by wear… The oil filter is getting smaller because it doesn’t have to be a huge filter and it is cheaper for the manufacturer to make them smaller so they need to be changed with every oil change…
    1
  4034. Do the same tests on a Honda. BMWs are not fully representative of oil wear.
    1
  4035. The change in flashpoint could indicate breakdown of certain organic molecules. It is telling you something. I wouldn’t go past 2 years.
    1
  4036. You can change oil after 300 ENGINE HOURS..its the best basis to change oil..not the distance travelled..if your vehicle is slightly used you could even change oil once a year

  4046. I have the same redults with a BMW S85 and S63 Engine. I reduced the Intervall to 5.000km otherwise there are „too many“ particals (for my taste) I know this is a bit often, but the least you should do is cut the factory times in half, Even more if you use high reving engines Like S65 and S85. Also I suggest to oil up! My S63 (M6GC) has almost no wear with 5W50, never use this thin oils BMW tell you, it’s all about get emissions low, they dont care about reliability

  4047. Try getting two samples from the same oil change. One from the beginning of the drain and one toward the end of the drain.

  4049. I dont trust any of that 5k-10k BS. You will forget the time you were driving uphill, towing, driving above 100mph, or hit redline or sat in traffic for 3 hours. If you took a vacation trip up Sierra Nevada change when you get home. 5k-7k is the safe amount

  4050. Your “Just keep throwing money at it” comment is actually very accurate. It’s almost always cheaper to fix the one you have than to go out and buy a new one.

  4055. The 2011 Camry doesn't have that type of filter and you don't need to replace the washer on the drain bolt or torque it...
    1
  4056.  @EndlessMoneyPits  what I meant I don't use a torque wrench.I can feel after many years of changing oil what a good tightness is and yeah if I see a leak, I'm definitely going to have to get a new oil plug washer next time.. hopefully if it leaked at all it would be very slow and nothing wrong with changing it ..the Toyota brand filter comes with a crush washer...

  4057. can I use a Mac with parallel installed so I can run windows 10?

  4058. Why do you buy such expensive name brand oil Mr. Money Pit? I use supertech synthetic my self (Walmarts house brand), bout 20 bucks for 5 quarts. Considering how much you’re burning I feel like that would be a better option. Or any other cheaper synthetic for that matter.
    1
  4059.  @EndlessMoneyPits  I know project farm has set up basic tests in his barn to test high end racing synthetics (royal purple, redline, and while not in the same class, mobile one) vs cheap house synthetics. They perform pretty damn similarly in just the tests that the average joe could do. I know that supertech makes a high mileage, extended protection synthetic, pretty comparable to the mobile one sku you used, while no scientific method, if you sent a cheap sample in to black stone and compared I would certainly give it a watch!
    1
  4060. They may be a little worse performing, but for your daily driver I don’t think it matters. Hell, another good video you could do if you’re comfortable doing it, throw some cheap synthetic in your BMW, since that’s the car you redline, run it for 8k or so, and then see if it held up to the abuse as well as mobile 1 did. Cheers Mr. Moneypit. Your oil change series have been very entertaining.

  4064. While there are no instructions, the skid plate mounts are NOT bent and they work IF positioned correctly. The left front goes on the INNER end of the engine mount boss,(don't remove the engine mount bolt). I supplied my own short 10x1.25 bolt for this. The right front replaces the R/F mount spacer, I had to add a thick washer to make up the difference.The shifter boss mount can be added to the backside of the shifter boss as well, use your own short bolt to secure the mounting tab. Much cleaner install as you maintain the factory shifter bearing and bolt. Note: I have no affiliation with the seller of this skid plate, I bought one and it took a bit to figure it out.
    1
  4065.  @EndlessMoneyPits  Looks like they made it that way as mine lined up great that way and the L/F support is straight up and down. The shifter mount looks factory now, just how I like my mods to look. I've been wrenching for years, got a lot of misc bolts, nuts, washers etc available for this kind of mystery!!

  4068. Sent in a sample to Blackstone recently. Suby OB turbo 2020 Onyx 40K odometer: at 10K and filter changed at 5K. They suggested running it next time to 10 or 12K. The car used for distance driving, very little stop and go. And of course the filter sits on top and any idiot can change it. Puts the lie to 6K owners manual requirements.

    1
  4079. Good video. I was thinking that the oil filter quality might be more important than the oil. Is there a quality standard for oil filters? Another factor is the amount of oil in the engine. I have a Cummins Diesel in a boat that has a 19 quart capacity. I had done testing at Blackstone every 100 hours with virtually no metal or additive failures, but decided to change the oil at 300 hours. 300 hour might be equivalent to 18,000 miles in a car. But most cars have oil capacity at 4 to 6 quarts.
    1
  4080. Blackstone flashpoint and insolubles test are outdated and not reliable. They take forever to get results. TestOil same day turn around, use gas chromatography which is the most reliable and accurate. Includes TBN, Oxidation, Nitration, Soot, Analytical Ferrography, and Particle Count, fir far less than BSL. They also give you an extration pump for free for samples. Drain plug samples are messy, and unreliable.

  4083. Tums, your car is eating Tums

  4084. modern synthetic oils will absorb moisture making the oil sticky , this can cause the rings to stick in their grooves and the car to burn oil. thats why the manufacturers say one year. cheap insurance considering the potential problem
    1
  4085. i believe 10.000 KM is a good choice for a healthy car. but i assume if you drive in town with stops and accelerations all the time, the engine gets hotter and gets more abuse. if you drive on highway it is better for the engine. also i believe it is not worth to skip oil filter. they are cheap and engine circulation needs a clean one
