Update: BG Engine Oil Flush

Nate (ETKA+Scumbag) · 09-21-2006, 01:23 PM

Took the car in per yesterday's post for a full service flush on the oil system.

Before they ran the cleaner through, they pushed compressed air through the oil filter hookup and removed even more oil that didn't drain. After that completed, he switched it over to the cleaner which got pushed through and was forced out the drain hole. The first fluid to come through was a nice thick black color, and then the good/bad part: chuncks of caramelized oil and sludge, not to mention fluid sludge.

The flush wasn't has comprehensive as say R-2000, but I can't find a local place that offers the service. The tech poured a can of their BG oil cleaner in and told me to run for about 1500-2000 miles, flush and drain the oil, and then run AutoRX if I want.

Not a whole lot of difference in the cylinder head yet, but I'll keep tabs on it for changes.

stuff suspended in the oil for the filter to trap.

Better that than some stupid, pointless shot that doesn't relate to the post.
