MMO is an ancient remedy and does not work well with the modern oil additive package and will likely do more harm than good.

The safest way to get an engine flushed and keep it that way is to use one of the oils I indicate or any other CI4 rated oil. Once the engine is cleaned out use your favorite premium oil with ADEQUATE oil change interval.

Thanks for your post and have a great day,
No need to apologize I respect your input and although I am not a fan of flushing engines or of MMO these were extreem cases and the method was reccomended by an automotive engineer who was my neighbor
Flushing engines is risky and you could end up with more problems than you started with.
PS I usually only use MMO in my air tools.
