Pete Lewis Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 ive seen this on a Corsa engine a solid jelly mould but here is a tale of what happend to ignore any servicing , makes you wonder how the engine survived till it died Pete Need to change oil.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Looks like they have added some jelly for added effect. If this is not fake the jelly would be liquid when the engine was warm. Engines without oil seize very quickly. With the filter blocked the bypass should open. Yes they have added something to the oil when hot, then let it cool and set. But you should change the oil at least every 6000 miles (i prefer 3000 with less use) minimum yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unkel Kunkel Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Certainly a strange one this.. gelatinous, yet homogenous - and surprisingly, rather clean- and not black. I have suspicions this was contrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyman Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 That is a set up for sure, it's not even black.... I have seen blocked Vauxhall engines many times when people havn't used the right oil and it comes out in black bit's. I have also had the same on a mk3 cvh escort. The manual said 18000 miles for a service. 9 yrs before service and 4.5k miles absolutely solid with black gunge. That jelly is too clean. Tony.

Mathew Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 My fatherinlaw bought his escort new and never had a service after the first free one! He gave it to me when it was eleven years old and 77k miles. The oil was watery and alot of elmulsifed gung on the rockers, a good flush and fresh oil ran for another 3 years and 50k miles, with service's only for me to scrap it due to rot !

GrahamB Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I am always suspicious when people film something like this as they must be expecting something "amazing". How many times have you filmed a regular oil change and invited your mates to come and watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
