Wow, that video is a good way to spin a crank bearing! WTF?!

There's nothing wrong with Quaker State oil. I've used it almost exclusively for 35 years, in every vehicle I've owned (except my RV, which gets Mobil1). My '89 4x4 Toyota van went 400,000 miles (was still running fine when I sold it). I have a '95 Toyota Tercel (commuter) that has 370,000. My wife's Tahoe currently has 227,000.

 

Wow do not put kerosene in your engine, that's the dumbest video I've ever seen
have you considered the camshaft position actuator solenoid? This will affect idle and oil pressure

Poor idle can be caused by
MAF
throttle body
Fuel pressure
Spark plugs
Poor coil performance
Throttle position sensor

 

That's an old trick we used to do in the '60's. Trick was, you didn't want to rev the engine, just let it idle for about 10 mins. Not saying it's a good idea or not, just saying it worked.

 

Yes indeed and back then, engines used oil with a higher viscosity. Engines today use engine oil with a viscosity down to 0w20.
Engine flush has been a very effective procedure to correct low oil pressure. Bottom line, running an engine with low oil pressure, will not last long.

 

and my grandfather used to put tranny fluid in his gas tank to make his engine smoke. still not a good idea.

there is no way to remove all the kerosene from your sytem, kerosene will dilute and break down oils (makes a great degreaser), you will be running the next oil changes with oil that is destroyed. even adding and changin oil once or twice will not completely remove the kerosene from the system.

 

You've heard the old saying "I wish I knew then what I know now". I completely agree with what you're saying.

 

Kerosene is a petroleum distillate, and commonly used by many engine rebuild shops. Kerosene will not "break down oils"! The purpose is to remove the sludge, drain it out, and refill with new oil for proper lubrication of all moving components. Sludge buildup prevents proper lubrication to all moving components.

 

the video was of an audi turbo diesel. not a gasoline engine. I can see kerosene working for a diesel as clearances are a bit bigger but not on a gasoline engine.

 

 

LOL everything in the moly flush is pretty much what you would wash out the individual parts in a parts washer Diesel, kerosene, naptha all run great in a space heater LOL. not a running engine with spinning bearings grinding in the debris on a sludged up engine.
