Best fuel/oil flush?

ZoranC · Jan 23, 2003

I am interested in doing pressurized decarb of my engine (I have supercharged F150). I am interested to do best possible cleaning of my oil system at the same time (I have rasons to suspect both are dirty).

Please advise what are best systems / ways out there that I could use to achieve "as good as new" cleanliness of these systems without damaging them?

Thank you in advance!

Auto-rx or Schaeffer's Neutra. Neutra can be used both in the oil and the fuel, Auto-rx is for the oil and transmission only.

I’ll support patman on this. I’ve had good luck with the Neutra 131.

I've had really good success, with the Amsoil Powerfoam/PI combo.

Matter of fact I have a shop in El Paso that uses this treatment for those who don't pass emmissions. What a difference this little 10 tune-up in a can does.

BTW you can get the combo for $15, they sell the service for over $30--talk about profit takers

If you have access to the emissions testing equipment, do the test yourself, you will see a big difference. I also recommend this proceedure for anyone who buys a used car, or uses gas that contains menthenol, which is known for making lots of carbon.

BG Automotives (www.bgprod.com) and MotorVac Technologies offer both Engine Oil Flushing and Carbon Removal systems. The services are normally offered thru shops and dealerships. You may need to ask around to see which shops offer the services in your area. I have used the MotorVac Carbon Removal service ($80) from my Nissan dealer with good results.

On our previous supercharged 97 GTP we found running a strong can of BG 44K through the system was enough!

Normally I clean the system out with gumout but you can't do that on a supercharged engine.

I don't consider myself qualified to do such comparison. From my experience and what I have read, both BG and Motorvac services and products are similar and have, at least, a good reputation out there. Availability and price may become the issues when looking at these services.
