Dear Members,
I bought used 1998 Camry XLE. I want's to clean my engine crankcase by using the Enigine Oil flush.
Please advise whether this procedure is good for my car engine health or not. Otherwise advise me with different options.
Thank you
Chand

The above cleaner is used by some dealers to clean engines that have a sludge problem. If the engine is in bad enough condition, you may have to clean or replace the oil pick-up and valve cover.

I think it's a good idea to flush the engine seeing that you have a used 98 Camry and heaven only knows how frequently the previous owner changed his oil and filter. I also think it's a good idea to flush it now especially if you intend to install a semi or full synthetic oil. If you choose to stick with good old petroelum oil then personally I would use one of the new "high mileage" oils on the market. They are supposed to be gasket-friendly and that's important in an older engine.
