flushing oil or engine flush?

Post by albertramsbottom »

I want to give my CU and good fushing and was wondering what the differences between flushing oil (sold in 5 litre cans), and engine flush (sold in 500ml bottles), and whether I should use them

I use this

cleans the sludge out

engine flush is an additive .. with unknown ramifications to seals
as some additives use solvents
