My mate uses engine flushing oil at every oil change on his Beemer 330.
My boy has a Fiat Punto and I had to top ip his oil snd noticed a lot of Black goo in the filler cap and on components inside, I'm not sure if it was the rocker assembly or a plate just inside but I could scrape a thick tarry mess of it. Now I'm thinking of flushing it a few times but I heard that diesel did the same job. I thought a few flushes with diesel yhen use a flushing oil.
Anyone know if this is a good or a bad thing to do?
Which oil was used and at what change intervals?
City riding mostly?
A safer, more fool-proof alternative would be to use good full synthetic oil, pour it in, then change it after 5000 miles with new full synthetic car oil. Then keep changing at 10 k miles.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
