Please do not use engine flush. Most ofthese products are very smiliar to kerosine, and not suitable for lubrication purposes. Sure, they are only supposed to be used at idle for a few minutes on a cold engine, but still, they are not very good to use, at all.

I would suggest Schaeffer's 131, which is an ester based package that can be used in both fuel and oil (esters are also the components in group V oil basestocks; group IV and V asre true synthetics, IV being poly-alpha olefins ad V being esters, esters making up high end (redline) racing oils and jet engine oils), or a product called autoRx, which is another natural ester based product which acts like a solvent and then surfactant, which dissolves nd loosens sludge, then surrounds the sludge as a particle, that then gets caught up in the oil filter.

Both of these products are nly used as a small fraction of your engine oil. Either one I would suggest running with a good, cheap HD diesel 15w-40 dino oil, for about miles. Than, do a mile 'rinse' with the same oil, to help get everything out. then you can make changes as you desire, such as to synthetic oil.

Going straight to synth is by no means wrong or bad, I just get the impression youd like to try and get some junk out of your engine. However, quite honestly, if youve been using good HD diesel oils and changing them around the mile mark, there should be no sludge or junk in your pan, even after 200K miles. I know as I dropeed my pan and was amazed at the cleanliness of it.

A 'poor man's flush' would comprise of getting three gallons of wal-mart HD diesel oil. Do an oil change, replace the filter and plug, then pour in a gallon of oil slowly. Let the engine cool, and crank a few times to get it flowed through the various oil passages, etc. Drain the gallon of oil. Refill with the correct amount, and drive at length until it is up to temperature (oil cooler is hot), Id suggest a good 50-100miles. Drain oil and refill with desired oil. The wal-mart cheapo diesel oil will have enough detergent/dispersant to help clean up stuff, and ten youre draining it after it has gone through the oil cooler, etc. Tehrefore your overall oil remains in the engine are pretty clean and new, and youve drained and replaced a lot of the soot,e tc that was in there.

Hope these ideas help,

Which is the Best Material for Your Oil Seal?

An oil seal is basically a simple device, which is used to stop dirt, dust, water, and other contaminants from entering the shaft equipment. It is also known by other names like elastomeric lip seal, lip seal, shaft seal, or rotary shaft seal. The seal, while doing its job, helps retain the lubrication of a rotary shaft equipment. These seals are mainly used to protect the bearings used in a rotating shaft.

Materials Used to Make Oil Seals:

Oil seals can be made from a vast range of materials depending upon the application. Some common materials used to manufacture oil seals include:

1. Silicone: The widest range of operating temperature range is provided by silicone compounds. They offer an amazing temperature range from -90°F to 340°F. Nonetheless, in dry running conditions, these compounds do not perform well. It is always advisable to avoid the usage of silicone compounds with oxidized oils and EP (Extreme Pressure) compounds.
2. Viton®: Viton® compounds are said to offer the widest operating temperature range varying from 40°F to 400°F. These are considered as the premium materials for the lip seals. In addition to this, these compounds are highly resistant to chemicals and abrasion. These qualities help Viton® deliver better good performance. Unlike silicone compounds, Viton® performs well in dry running applications.
3. Nitrile Buna-N: Most companies consider Nitrile Buna-N 70 durometer compound to be the perfect material for oil seals. The compound has several benefits, which makes it the first choice of material in a wide range of applications. Oils seals that are made from this material have a wide operating temperature range from -65°F to 250°F. In addition to this, this material is compatible to work with water, as well as common mineral oil and greases.

Above mentioned are some materials used for manufacturing oil seals. Each material has its own set of pros and cons. Therefore, selection of materials should be made on the basis of the application. There are quite a variety of materials to choose from. If you find it tricky to select the right material for oil seals, you can always ask an expert.
