Clear Engine Oil - How Many Oil Changes Does it Take? (with Color Comparison) kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZnWbmapqksrLY8o.html

I used to be a tech at Valvoline, and still always do my own oil changes for myself, friends & family, and seeing all that oil fly out everywhere makes me cringe because that’d be hard to clean up, but the clear filters are actually really cool. They should make oil filters like that somehow

I was expecting a mess, but not this much! Time for the pressure washer and some degreaser.

Why should they make oil filters like that? You can't see it, and it'll darken quickly to the point that even if you could see the filter in action you wouldn't see any oil flowing due to it being dark. Don't be dumb.

abiggermrbrute same here. I was also a tech at an oil/fluid change shop, and I always changed my own oil. Most of my friends & family think I'm old fashioned for flushing & changing my own oil regularly. Even though I always drive old japanese cars, they never understood why I'm so meticulous when it comes to maintaining my old cars while they spend thousands of $$$ on repairs that could have easily been prevented. Whenever I try to educated them so they're more mechanically sympathetic, they shrug me off claiming they don't know anything about their cars. I was just trying to help them.

I change my own oil because most shops do crap work, they put most inexperienced guy on oil changes and you get stripped oil drain plugs, overtightened filters, and they put in too much oil of cheapest oil they can find.@@lobsterbisque7567

Always wanted to see what it looks like inside one while its on. Pretty cool.

Next time use a 2 part structural epoxy (the kind used in auto body repair) Next time get a glass specialist to cut the tops of the beakers off to remove the pour spout and make a square edge. It should work then!

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this .

It's really interesting to see it keep filling after you stop cranking. Gives me peace of mind when I crank to prime filter before running engine.

Good job Owen. I think it is actually a good thing that the seals failed. Otherwise, the glass probably would have shattered from the pressure. This video is excellent for training auto technicians and DIYers about the proper way to replace an oil filter. When possible, the filter should be pre-filled before installation. This prevents the "dry-start" short term "Knock" that results from the time it takes for the engine oil to fill the filter housing and saturate the filter media before allowing pressurized oil to arrive at the bearings inside the engine. If you add up all the "dry-starts" from every oil and filter change, I feel that the wear is similar to cold-start wear and, in this case, it can be avoided with vehicles that have filters positioned like the one in this video and as found on small block Chevrolet engines for example. Great engineering that decided to mount the filter in that orientation. Once I learned to pre-fill oil filters, I noticed the instantaneous oil pressure prevents the start-up noise and the oil light goes out much faster. With the newer style filters with an anti-drain back valve, you take a small blunt (golf tee or similar object) tool and temporarily disturb the valve seal to allow trapped air to escape while filling the filter housing through the center hole. Takes a little more time but it is worth it for a top-notch professional job. God Bless.

@@OwenLucas You're welcome my friend. I admire the effort that you took to make this video. It is very valuable for learning especially for seasoned Auto Technicians and the DIYers alike, if they are willing to keep learning and trying to improve. Thank you, Owen!

Because people like you is how things get investigated and improved for all your research Thank you 👍

You went a long way to demonstrate a process. Found your efforts worth appreciation. Nice

This is amazing, even when failed. Cause no one ever took this effort to show in this perspective

very interesting, thanks for sharing !

Kool idea I like the clear filters. And I found out just how much oil goes through the filter one time when I tried to take a filter off and got the seal broken then decided to drive the truck on ramps and started it and turned around for a second and then back again and wow 😯 the ground was covered in oil. I didn’t run it dry or cause any damage but that oil moves fast.

this was cool

So cool to see. I know the cleanup was a beating but much appreciated!

Thanks for taking the risk for our curiosity 👍 And does all the engines need more than two oil changes to become smooth and yellow without any old oil ? or just yours has sludges ?

It really depends on the engine. I did an engine flush 8000 miles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHejmMN8lceWktI.html before the first oil drain in the video, so the engine should have been pretty clean internally. The oil is dirty most likely due to blow-by and age. I wanted to make sure I had clear oil for the glass filter so I just kept changing it until I felt it was good enough for the presentation. I think it might come out clear for most people after 6 oil changes but there really is no reason to do so.

Thank you!

so even when you prefill your filter - if there is a little bit of contamination - it gets pushed DOWN into the filter first and should get caught in the filter - before the oil fills back up through the center of the filter. I was wondering about this. thanks

Maybe you should've used a "Ball" jar replacing the thin insert lid with a modified filter base😊

Could you test how much oil gets absorbed in the oil filter ? Cause I have a replaceable paper filter and I always dump it in oil to pre soak it, would like to know if it's effective or a waster of time/effort :)
