a mechanic told me that when adding those engine cleaner additives to ur crankcase before an oil change to clean ur motor isnt a good thing.
he made a lot of sense. so now i turn to the org for their 2cents.

he said that when the additive is added prior to an oil change and u let ur car run for 10 minutes with this additive in the crankcase, all the sludge and debris that may breakloose due to the additive isnt a good thing.

he said that some of this debris will remain in the bottom of the oil pain and not drain out when the oil is drained. it will next recirculate with the new oil and over time cause damage and clogs here and there.
what he recommends is adding the cleaner and when draining the oil.....drop the oil pan lastly and clean it out thouroughly


what do u guys think about this? it makes alot of sense to me atleast. but is it worth adding those engine cleaner additives prior to an oil change?
