i used this gunk motor flush...they sujested taking off the oil pan to make sure all the debris was out from the bottom of the pan. it was very easy and i found alot of gunk in the bottom of the pan prolly not more than any other engine but it was just cool to see all that stuff come off of the rag. its been about 7,000 since i did it and the oil looks great. 2 oil changes

From what i read up, the consensus is that Auto-RX is the best oil treatment you can do, although its not really a flush (its a long term treatment , not a 15-20 minute one). Most of the 15 min treatments seem to be about the same.

I myself used the Amsoil Engine flush, as I was getting Amsoil at the time and their stuff is said to be pretty good.. Seemed to do a good job. . .
