Don't bother, just use a decent oil, you don't want engine flush liquid hanging about

dont do it mate mate unless you want a knackerd engine afterwards as it washes all the carbon off amongst other things and make the tolerances to big

Or you could play russian roulette like me when I had a classic shape Turbo 2000. Did the following:
Asked the garage to use some silcoline 50 on one service. Then read on here about issue with oil starvation
with the stuff. Also noticed the car was less responsive with the stuff anyway.
On the next 6 months service asked them to run an engine flush to get rid of it
. Luckily after that I did a trade in to my current beast.
Therefore lesson learnt without having the engine blow up on me.

Well
I suggest YOU use engine flush then when it goes bang you gets what you deserve. No more scooby, no more stupid posts but probably loads of parts for you to rip others off whilst selling but not sending.

I would advise you drink it while the Oil is draining.
Bad affect? - you may feel really ill
Good affect? - you may get what you deserve if you are guilty
