If you guys checkout bluechems engine oil cleaner (they don't call it a flush), what you're supposed to do is pour in the bottle into the oil and drive like normal for a day (max) then just drain. The oil comes out like water! I like Bluechem products, very different from the masses.

I've tested and wrote about this fuel cleaner from Bluechem : http://www.zerotohundred.com/newfor...duct-testing-blue-chem-fuel-system-clean.html

Their oil cleaner is just as good. Same concept too. I'll have to do a proper write up on it.

That is because you are using the chemlube, just hope he is going to use the right one for flush....:rofl:
Haha! Using chemlube to flush, not only waste of money but no effect :rofl: cuz it is suppose
to clean the engine while driving until the next oil change haha!

Another solution if you dont prefer to flush the engine, is to do oil change more regularly...

Perhaps once every 8,000km for synthetic oil ?

One of my friend does oil filter change at 5,000km and again oil filter change, oil change at 10,000km

What do you think?

Is it a good idea? :confused::idea:
You tell me bro, you have more experience in oil change than me with your w211 with 800,000km/h and yet reaching 1 million soon...

I have only used Chemlube for 5 times and I should have taken before after photo on the lid.
Big difference...

What i used to do is, i will put in the engine flush first. Start d car and let it idle for 5 mins or 10... then drain all the dirty oil out for 15 mins... then refil with 'cheap' mineral oil - 4 liter of it.. start the car.. let it run for 10 mins.. then drain it out... change oil filter and fill up with the desired oil of choice and .. viola... cleaner than ever

Then do one only, either chemical flush or cheap oil flush. Keeping overnight to drain, make sure no one starts the car.....:smokin:

Theres another method my friend is doing....

He poured in one third of a can of engine flush into the six litre engine oil and drive the car as usual for couple of days.....

Then he drain and does the oil change...

Very daring but I wouldnt dare to do it!:smokin:

Erm.. ok. I know you mean bluechem. I've actually already done it. Night time 9pm go out yum char with friends but pour in the oil cleaner first. Drive out yum char, come back then next morning drain and fill in new oil.

I did a separate test of old oil + bluechem vs old oil drip dry. The bluechem makes the thick old oil very liquidy and doesn't let it stick anywhere. The oil old by itself took 3 days to drip completely dry from the container i was using to hold it in. The bluechem mix 15 minutes to completely drip dry. I like that!

For normal flushes I do what BlackHowling does, pour in CRC flush (non kerosene based flush) run for 15 minutes idle, drain, pour in semi-syn (not mineral like him), drain, change oil filter and pour in my fully synthetic oil.

A rich bugger friend i know flushes with CRC flush, drain, pours in Royal Purple fully syn oil to clean out the flush, drain and change oil filter, then final fill fully syn oil.

Royal purple has superb cleaners in its oil so it really makes your engine internals super duper clean. Good choice of 'flushing' oil but bloody expensive!
