there is a product we use call 5 min flush , you put it into the motor before you cahnge the oil , run the car for 5 mins and then dump the oil, it seems to be one of the sfest ways to flush the motor without going all out

LMAO, you guys are hilarious!!

seriosly though, Tranny fluid has a detergent that cleans the VARNISH left by burnt oil. This is important for transmissions because varnish can build up on the clutches and cause slippage (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS!)

With my DSM…this was my ritual.  
Syn oil-4000km  
-add .5L tranny fluid.  
drive to CT get filter  
dump  
-add 4 L of NuGold.drive 20km  
Dump.  
add mobil 15-50 and new filter

yea, i had alot of time on my hands… i was single at the time.

now i just drive into green.ross and point at the 15 dollar oilchange sandwich board
