Beware of Engine Flush Products and Services!

[Th3Revreant]

I was going to purchase some engine flush products and take my newly aquired laser to have this done. Came across this and thought I would share this with the community. Turns out just using a high quality, full synthetic motor oil with detergents is the best route.

If a car's company even says dont use engine flush or certain engine chemicals, why the hell would people still do it? You can easily find all this info in the instruction manual!

It probably says somewhere not to do modifications, so you better heed that advice too.

I got a buddy that said, drain the old oil, put new in it, with a bottle of tranny fluid, run it till you watch your oil pressure drop some, shut it off, drain it, and refil.

This is because ATF is,like,a, detergent. Your supposed to be able to put,a cup of it in a tank of gas for a cleaner. And pretty much is saying run it in the oil till it warms up a little giving it Alil time to clean pathways.
