I just watched a teardown video of several Ford Coyote engines. These were low-mileage engines lubed with synthetics and in each case there was a chrystalized deposit on valve rockers and other engine parts. The mechanic stated that he had noticed this build-up on every lower mileage engines using synthetic oil. Anyone else seeing this?

Welcome to BITOG, Barry!
Can you post the data from "the mechanic"?

This sounds like the BS that engine re-builder on Deboss Garage was spewing.
YouTube strikes again.
I can find videos proving that the Earth is flat.
The presence of the video doesn’t make it so.

Can you share the link? Thanks

That Deboss idiot is an embarrassment to Canadian mechanics.
You are saying I can't learn how to fly an Airliner from You Tube videos? I have 6 hours of video watching and was going to submit an application at the major airlines after the Holidays. Maybe even get hired on as a captain???
Only thing I like about him is that he really does encourage people to get a project vehicle, any project vehicle, and actually do something instead of just watching youtube all day.
Welcome, Harry
I hadn't heard of that. I suppose anything is possible,, it just doesn't sound right.
Let's no assume @BarryHanna is talking about Deboss. Give him a chance to provide the link...
I'm pretty sure DeBoss brought that guy back a few videos later and they changed their statement, or at least tried to. That "engine builder" made quite a few outlandish statements during the first video.
no not on yt...but flight simulator( Microsoft) would get you the creditials you'd be looking for..You are saying I can't learn how to fly an Airliner from You Tube videos?

Pilots on the board would prove you wrong. That's my guess
Flight simulator will teach you a lot. Not enough, but a lot...
Here we go again. How many times do we have to deal with this?
crystallization of synthetic oil
I was viewing an engine rebuilders U-tube last nite. He mentioned his observation that crystals form in the ring lands of vehicles that are infrequently driven, low miles, not always reaching operating temp. & use full synthetic oil. Changing oil annually is not the issue here. Please comment on...

Quick search brought this up, too.
Engine builder blames issues on synthetic oil.
I was watching this Coyote 5.0 Ford tear down video and the builder states multiple times his thoughts that buildup in the engine is from using synthetic instead of conventional, and more interesting, using different brands of synthetic instead of sticking to one. He also comments at a different...

What a complete load of nonsense all wrapped up in more nonsense.
It's called being so full of it that you don't even know you're full of it.
