On the subject of flushing, a mechanic friend of my brother's was explaining to me that, instead of using a can of Wynns or Forte oil flush on a petrol enging, you're better off doing an oil change with diesel engine oil and running with it for a couple of thousand miles. Apparently the detergents in the diesel oil will go to work on the accumulated cack.
I wouldn't trust this guy to rotate my tyres, let alone do anything engine-related to a car of mine but I'd be interested in hearing what the knowledgeable people on here think... Fact or fiction? 8) 8)
Use of oil flush

Fact, it will be more gentle on old engine seals and less likely to leak.
