In my opinion engine flush is bad for your motor. I would use like a half a quart of transmission fluid with your oil and drive it around for about a day then change your oil. But that's just my 2 cents.

Do not put seafoam in your car. The whole idea of motor flush implies that there's a miracle liquid that is going to strip bad stuff from your motor in a short amount of time. This is of course bullshit. There is something called Auto RX which works over an extended period of time. That has been given some good reviews by members of The Forum. The only thing I can think of that would quickly do anything to coke deposits in your motor would be diesel oil. Diesel oil is very safe for the metals in your motor. It also naturally dissolves coke and varnish. You may also use transmission fluid , it has a way of doing the same things diesel oil does but with the higher viscosity. Here's my idea for you. If you're impatient and you want to spend money on something you think is going to help the sludge buildup in your motor... You could fill your crankcase with diesel and transmission fluid let it run briefly so that the solution has made its way into the oil galleries and on to the important parts. Run the car in intervals you feel are safe and perhaps you will dissolve things in your motor. There is a video on YouTube of edge Motors cleaning a 1.8 liter motor which has been slugded up pretty bad. Definitely remember that any distillate or any gasoline product will thin out and remove the lubricating capacity of your oil. That is why transmission fluid and diesel oil are preferred and just by chance are about the best thing you could use. Seafoam is a scam. It may work in some fashion but I've seen enough product demonstrations to prove that the white smoke that comes out of your exhaust when you use it is nothing more than the product itself.

Long time ago I used engine flush (Risolene?) in a Dodge 318. It turns out, the oil pan had a fair amount of sludge and carbon particles. The now gooey mess was mobile and oozed its way over to the oil pump pickup. The screen clogged and the pump pulled hard enough to uncrimp the screen and the pump locked up as it ingested the "blob". I'm guessing the crimp was not done right at the factory, hard to say.

I ended up dropping the pan and cleaning it as well as putting in a new pump and pickup.

After that, I never used a solvent flush again. It's too hard to tell how much crap might be in the pan and what could happen.

BG products are what's used by a lot of dealers. I used BG EPR to flush my engine. I use BG MOA to prevent sludge from accumulating and I use BG44K for a fuel system cleaner. Click
