Re: [MBZ] Oil pressure drop

I've been using the auto trans fluid flush trick for several years, over several cars. It's been pretty successful. On more than one old abused beater I've done compression check prior to and after a couple of flushes, found that apparently the carbon gunk around the rings got freed up and saw a

IT probably does not. I am hoping to get it running smoother, by driving regularly, and that will assist the gunk to flow to filters, and some Snake Oil additions just prior to oil change will help. Once it is less of a slug, then M1 can be used to have better cleaning > On Mar 29, 2017, at
