Engine Flush

I have been thinking of flushing my engine. I read somewhere that you can buy a 0w oil tp put in your engine that will flush it without using additives. Does anyone know who males this fluch oil? Is it called fulsh oil? Alos how long do you drive around iwth it in the engine? Will it hurt and engine to drive around a while with this "Flush Oil" in? Is it truly 0w/20 or is it a different weight?

Re: Engine Flush

0w as a flush oil??? It's just a thinner oil when it's cold, it has the same cleaning power as normal oil of any weight. If you want to clean your engine, buy one of those bottles "engine flush", pour it in, run the engine for 15 minutes, then change the oil (DON'T DRIVE IT).

No flush is better.
You may stir up more problems than you want.
Just change oil and filter more often.
If you try flushing on a higher mileage engine you may break lose all sludge and dirt and stop up engine oiling system
