sometimes I feel, there will be users spending that money on engine flush, then look for cheapest engine oil in the market instead of buying the best oil with that money.

then, many people believe what they choose to believe.

even some good oil sellers, will have a disclaimer, that using their oil will dissolve old gunk and cause oil leak.

correct OCI beats any remedies.

What about when user got a second hand car? Not sure what is the condition of the engine and want to clean it a bit without spending extra money doing overhaul. Engine cleaner is a product that has been recommended by nearly all car manufacturers. We are not talking about things like seafoam or voltage stabilizer or grounding cables or camber nut. These are things that car manufacturer does not introduce for a reason. But nearly all car manufacturers does have their own brand of engine cleaner and recommend them as well. If you say, ya they are useless then do you believe in camber nut? Nearly all car manufacturers does not comes with camber nut. It's not due to cost because it is only few ringgit per nut. Also, they will never recommend you do camber nut if you tell them your alignment is off.

Like I said, we all want to believe what we want to... I'm not saying right or wrong, it's about how you use it. Adding to that, there are different types of flushes, solvent vs detergent, and a blend of both. I read this some time ago, published in 2017: https://blog.amsoil.com/is-an-engine-flush-good-or-bad/

I will use engine flush, but certain types, and only when I need it, not every oil change.

There are more reasons why camber nuts are not installed per standard, than just cost. Think bigger. In fact, Toyota makes camber nut for certain vehicles: https://parts.toyota.com/productSearch.aspx...archTerm=camber
