There is an engine oil flush/cleaning method recommended that is often cited here. Can someone post it? I tried using search, several times and could not find it.

Yeah, go to the Oil Additive section. I believe what you are talking about is AutoRx. Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil are 2 other options. All covered in that forum.

I'd check the Oil Additives forum. You'll find many threads on this topic. Do you mean the auto rx battles mmo forum?

I believe in a multilevel attack for a nasty engine. AutoRx-MMO-Amsoil Engine flush. NOT all at once of course. Short intervals after flushing, etc.
For mild cases, maybe just MMO or AutoRx and time with good oils. Leave it to Pablo to be even handed.
