quote: this is slightly puzzling me, if your pouring in cheaper oil to 'flush' the system then some of this is still going to be left in the engine. Flush will loosen all of this and then drain it out, however on high miler cars can also uncover more problems. | |

drian all used oil, remove oil filter, drain it completely, put it back, get some cheap (or vaux) semi 10-40, fill in about a liter, run engine for a while, drain again, new filter, and refill with proper 10-40 semi GM | |
