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


Cheers

I use this
http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/Downl ... ss%201.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

cleans the sludge out

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