I let the oil go a bit too long in the Toyo Highlander.
Can anyone recommend a good engine flush product? |

Hello
Wynns make a great line of oil products. Be carefull with the 5 minute flushes, its like running thinner thru the motor, it can do more damage then good. I have used a lifter additive (cleaning type for hydrolic lifters), ran it for a day, then change oil and filter. Its way less agressive then a flush and keeps things tidy. Wynns Tune up (lifter and antigum) Wynns 80+ oil additive (after new oil) I think now-a-days there are lots of brands that will do similiar. Good Luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

Back to back oil changes are your best bet. Dont put in some chemical never meant to lubricate your engine. Just change it hot then change it again in a few days of driving. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif)

Drain it hot, fill it up with synthetic and add a GOOD (not fram) new filter.
Drive it til the oil looks dirty, change the filter and add another quart of synthetic. Stuff makes the insides of your motor clean. Ken |
