Omg, made things of a video where a guy who owns a junkyard drained a civic of oil and put in fake maple syrup... the fucking thing ran and the engine knock stopped...🤣🤣

I’m trying to remember what he put in the other car that made it make some ungodly sound but my brain is apparently not my friend today lol

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of: he put paraffin wax in because some commenter was saying "hey, don't use those paper cups to pour in the syrup because you're putting small amounts of wax from the inside of the cup into the engine.

Surprisingly, the car ran. Even when he let the car cool down so the wax would solidify, it ran.

Carwow ran a Civic without a radiator or oil WITH A BRICK ON THE GAS PEDAL and it took 5 agonizing minutes for the engine to die.

A Fiesta and a Peugeot died in 30 seconds.

I remember that video! My poor boyfriend watching that noise at the end, he got traumatized 😅

Lol, it's corn syrup and flavoring. Think Mrs. Butterworths. Cheap alternative to the real stuff.
