I came across people flushing their engine using kerosene/diesel, both in Forum n real life... I undestand that there are a lot of debate flushing the engine using such method..
I personally wont do that but i was thinking... instead of the traditional flushing method, mixing the engine oil and kerosene and run the engine for the couple of minutes...would it be helpful if we were to drain the engine oil, and refill it up with kerosene and let it stay in the engine overnight and drain off the kerosene next day completely and replace it with fresh engine oil? No running of engine at all, simply fill it up overnight and drain off...
I porsonally believe that it should be safer compare to the traditional flushing method but how effective is such flushing method? Any commment on this?
also, kerosene traped in the engine, that cannot be drained off... the amount could be small, but im afraid that it could caused problem to my engine in long run.. any comment?
my car is relatively young, a 2006' Yaris at 80K miles... i have been using fully Syn oil like Mobil 1, Amsoil and Redline and OCI very 6K miles.. I dont think there is any sludge problem, just want to try it out as a routine preventive maintainance...
