those fast flushes like gunk are horrible. they can remove deposits too quickly and they can float around unfiltered and **** things up.

use auto-rx. Read up at BITOG forums or at auto-rx.com It slowly (over 3000 miles) cleans your motor. i am halfway through my cycle.

I will switch to sythetic after this 3k mi cycle.

Amsoil's engine flush is absolutely phenominal. You will be very suprised at how much stuff will come out.

Where can you buy Auto-RX, just online through their website, or at a store?

You can only buy it through their website but they give a discount to org'ers.

is amsoil safe or is it the one that is too quick and messes things up?
i just changed my oil like 1k ago and switched straight to synthetic...i didnt know that wasnt a good idea.
if ive got clogged galleries and ports in my engine from this, do u htink amsoil will unclog it?
im going to try anyways

It's chemicals are safe for the seals. Most products dry out the seals.

I agree with Auto Rx, how many miles do you have?

Also to Auto Rx id reccomend going back to dino while using it.
