Default Nulon engine oil flush.

Just wondering if anyone here has used this product and what were the results?

Thanks.

It makes your wallet lighter? I doubt there would be any NOTICABLE difference to your engine

Ford use this in customers cars before servicing, it apparently helps to break down any sludge as well as remove varnish from the internals of the engine. I have used it personally and whilst not finding any difference in engine performance, have found that the engine oil is generally darker when it is drained. Only costs like $7.00 for the bottle so try it, just don't leave it in for too long.

You could just use diesel, gives the same result.

I use it every service.

Notice a big difference in how clean the oil is after the first few hundred km when it picks up and mixes with whatever was left inside.

I used it in an el that had a couple of noisy lifters. Put the flush through, dropped the oil, filled with valvoline max life, another flush after a few hundred km, re filled with max life, silenced it nicely.

I use it every service too. Helps clean the crap out of the motor. Can notice the new oil stays clean a while longer.

If you want to flush your motor you can drain the oil, keep the old filter put in kerosene with the new oil. Run car for 60 seconds turn off the car, drain oil and new filter and off you go.

The kerosene breaks down so much carbon it can be dangerous as it may block oil galleries, so I have heard.

Silly move. Kerosene has abrasive properties.

I don't think all the plain metal bearings would appreciate being run in kero for 60 seconds.

Add a little bit of kero to the fresh oil. I did not say run on kero alone.

Haven't used Nulon but i have Used MOTUL twice.

Also helps to clean most of your dirty oil out as it makes it thinner and easier to drop out........

Did my MOTUL Flush, engine oil & filter change over 100klms ago and oil is still clean not dirty black like it was when i dumped it :1syellow1
