Next phase will do an engine flush with a bottle of AmSoil engine flush.
Then pour in my newly acquired Mobil 1 0w-40 Advanced Fully Synthetic Oil.

foreman that i used to go against the idea of using flushing at engine oil,
he mention can kaput the engine in long run.

Just buy a fully synthetic engine oil, and changing it after 10k km, imho.  wink.gif

What would be the worst case scenario to flush then?
