You are welcome

Just like i said earlier on, Internal combustion engines are workhorses. You could drive them across countries, you could use them to generate electricity for homes just like your generator set.By doing these, they accumulate some dirt in a single day and lots more. So it's unfortunate that the same thing that makes them work so well, combustion, brings with it something that can eventually hurt the engine called engine deposits.
Deposits can be caused by several different reactions inside the engine, which could accumulate so badly that it could gummed up and form sludge that may even result in gunk that your new oil change may not be able to flush. These gunk would then restrict the free flow of oil to tiny crevixes and crankcase area of your engine, which could result in wear and tear in her worse case, and serious lost of power and underperformance that on the long run could even result to eventual engine swap, you can go on and on...

So this mentioned engine flush help removes these deposits and gunk from your engine and make oil flow well and do the work they are suppose to do resulting in better performance and fuel efficiency. If done properly could even return your overall car performance near to when you got it from the factory.

It is no news that some of the cars we bought may have lost more than 50 percent of their horsepower, some form very long periods of oil change neglect/poor oil viscosity usage etc etc, such that even if you do clean oil change , the engine eventually turn black at no time, such a car needs an engine flush to restore back her back to normal and to restore almost all her lost power etc. The truth remains that any little clean up you do to your internal combustion engine, always result in power gain; whether be it cleaning of plugs ;throttle body; nuzzles or the air intake/combustion chamber and the overall flushing of the engine will always restore tremendous power to your car, it will always result to better horsepower and efficiency. Issues like hesitation, stalling and spurting will always be a thing of the past....
But it could also damage your car if you don't keep to the rules that are over emphasize here.

The damage could be in the sense that if the car is a very old one, non metallic parts such as the rubber seals that have cracked with age but kept on by the gunk or sludge could be cleaned out and expose those cracks making it more apparent too as it cleans your pistons rings , valves and other parts etc.

I have done this with a 94 Benz, 89 Benz , and 2000 plus Benz, no seal was broken, nor any oil leaked. Just follow the instruction.

Sure! You could use either diesel or kerosine, but i prefer diesel because it has some great lubricants in it. Either ways work.

But note of warning, do not load the car while doing this, only idle it to run for like 3 mins . I repeat, dont rev the car, start the ignition and leave it to idle for 3 mins. Before you did this make sure you started the car initially to round up(to reach operational temperature) then put it off before you began this process after you would have drained out the original engine oil.

First of all , close the drained pipe of your engine oil after you would have drained out all the engine oil. Pour in to you empty engine equivalent amount of diesel or more than your normal gauge. Start the ignition and idle for like 3 mins, and stop the ignition and drained out the dirty diesel. Close the waste pipe again , and pour another gallon of diesel into your engine and idle again for another 3 mins, drain out the diesel completely and remove the oil filter. Then pour in fresh oil and filter, there you are.

auhanson:
That is diesel fuel

GAZZUZZ:
If your intake system has a plastic pipe located close to the bottom of your bumper, now is a good time to disconnect it. For get all that crap about factory specs, if water goes up that pipe, your engine will hydrolock pistons might bend or break and in most cases burst out of the engine block

If you run thru water and your engine suddenly shuts off, do not try starting it! Push or tow it out then remove all spark plugs and ensure there's no water in your cylinders, before you try figuring out what went Wrong.

The intake valves and the heat from the engine can cause fuel sprayed from your injectors to dry up and create accumulated deposits on top of them. This deposits on top of the intake valves can then absorb incoming fuel and rob the engine of it power over time.

Another direct cause of lost of power in engines are accumulated deposits that occurs in the actual combustion chamber, when carbon deposits form as a byproduct of the air and fuel combustion reducing its efficiency. These deposit can travel to other areas of the engine and cause a lot of issues to your car, including hesitation and stalling if left unattended to especially in German cars coupled with bad fuel(non Premium fuel)

Therefore, it is necessary to always clean out your engine once in a while. Removing these engine deposit may include pouring some additives into you fuel tank;manually cleaning some parts of your engine such as :

1)fuel injectors and throttle bodies(Fuel injectors are so tiny that a clog of only tiny deposit can induce stalling, engine hesitation or loss of power)

2)Throttle bodies (You'll need to remove the emissions hoses, intake air hose, sensor wires and anything else connected to your car's air intake in order to clean this parts manually)

2)intake valves (Deposit here can cause hesitation and stalling)

3)Combustion chambers (deposits here can raise the octane requirement of the engine and even cause premature fuel detonation, making your car very inefficient that "chop you great fuel"

4) Your engine (Not all deposit in your engine are caught by your engine oil filter. If these particles become excessive, it can gummed up and form sludge and gunk which clean oil alone can't flush them out. But the chemicals used in an engine flush will be able to do these to stop further wear and tear allowing fresh oil to move through tiny crevices and crankcase of your engine)


An engine flush removes the gunk, which keeps the parts running smoothly. That in turn can make the engine more efficient, bringing the power and fuel efficiency closer to what the car had when it left the factory. In very old cars, however, the engine flush might clean these piston rings, valves, and other parts a little too well. Sometimes, the gunk acts as spackle in non-metallic parts like rubber seals that have cracked with age. Cleaning out the gunk exposes those cracks, and the weakness of those parts becomes apparent.

View this example of cheap/affordable but very effective engine flush. Please note that this is not Mercedes Benz nor any manufacturers standard , but it works. It worked for my 1994 Benz c180 and my 2005 ML 500 which i just did recently.

Additives will vary based on the type of engine, what they're cleaning and how often they should be used. Just make sure you follow the instructions properly.

nkechi042:
Thanks. Did you get your diagnositic scanner tool in Nigeria too.

nkechi042:
Thanks will look into this. Is Total Oil good enough, i haven't used OEM before.

nkechi042:
Yes, bought it from NL. Thanks, still thinking what to make it perfect thou, a new paint job or so. But its 10x better than my 2002 avalon, i feel like i need to learn how to drive all over again

nkechi042:
guys, i bought the

Honda Accord V6 with Navi, 2011 model.

Thanks yall, i finally decided to go with a more recent model. All your contributions were helpful, now i need maintenance tips.... Thanks alot.

I have ported from my old Avalon to the Honda Family.

milkymesh:
Delta state in eastern region?? Some people no jus go school sef.

sunnyb0b0:
Bro, there's no need for this. TThose guys are human beings and not all of them are bad. That's their source of livelihoods with which they feed their families.

IdisuleOurOwn:
Please take time and check my threads and posts and show where I insult Jonathan.

IdisuleOurOwn:
Honestly, I don't know the type of training they give you guys at home.
Are you the type who woke up in the morning only to kick his parents instead of kneeling to greet them?

You keep on shouting "mere commissioner".
This same "mere commissioner", you read about him on newspaper, on social media. You listen to him on radio set. You watch him on TV set.

His decision among others determine your living and direction.


I dare say, if he is to visit your parents house, you father will take a loan from bank to change his furniture.
Not to talk of your state gov welcoming him.


Pray you achieve 1/3 what the "mere commissioner" have archived in life.

apexquest:
This morning i tried the radiator hose method. I kept touching both hoses while waiting for temp gauge to rise to mid point.
Observation
I observed that the hose at the top of the radiator had become very warm while the lower hose had remain cool.
Nevertheless both fans starting running the moment I turned on the car at cold start.
What sayeth thou about these

Oseremhen:
I just replaced my engine oil with mobil xhp 20w 50 which I'm beginning to feel was a big mistake after reading this thread. My question is can I use mobil 1 5w 30 instead of 5w20 manufacturers recommendation as mobil 1 5w20 is not sold around here (trust me I've searched) I drive a 2008 honda accord. Thanks
