I have never flushed an engine, but I am not positive that it's a pointless exercise. I'm still undecided.

Watch the video linked in #10. Very informative. What's Lake Speed Jr. know? Quite a bit, actually...certified lubricate expert, formerly of Joe Gibbs racing...knock NASCAR all you like, but those "good ol' boys" are like drag racers...they know engines. I remember asking Grady Clay where he got all his engine know how...he replied that he used to hang out at drag strips. (edit) In the video he mentioned that Gibbs racing used low viscosity oils...that was a surprise to me...I'd have guessed the opposite.
