    Makikialam narin ako.

    *Bry your mechanic is RIGHT only if he knows the right procedures. I say this because KEROSENE flush really works, not an Urban Legend. We have done this before when I was in Military (not U.S goverment vehicle) with cars. I would say it safe since all the cars we did is having no problems or complain from the owner some said their engine perform much better than it was.

    Procedure:

    1. Drain your old engine oil, except one quart. Do not remove old oil filter.
    2. Add approx. 3 quarts of kerosene into your engine.
    3. start engine. DO NOT GUN THE ENGINE.
    4. Let it run until warm. NOT HOT just WARM. about 6-10 Min.
    5. Turn off engine
    6. Drain the entire contents. replace plug.
    7. Pour one quart new oil and 3 quarts kerosene again into the engine.
    8. Start engine until slightly warm. Again DO NOT GUN YOUR ENGINE
    9. Turn off engine
    10. Drain the entire contents. This time you can now remove your oil filter.
    You can pour kerosene into the engine(NON RUNNING ENGINE) as it drains out until it comes out clear. You could blow AIR your engine spout if one available.
    11. Pour two quarts of oil and let it run out untill comes out of the oil pan.
    12. Replace new oil filter/ plug and add your favorite oil. Start engine. Check for level.

    OPTIONAL: You can drain your oil one more time Or you could change it after 500 Kilometers. Then resume routine maintenance.
    This is a great job!

    The residue that comes out be BLACK and TIN liquid. Chunks and sludge disolved by kerosene.

    This procedures is safe TO ME and other previously car done. I honestly perform and actually did the job in my other car too.

    If planning to do this I would say why not, but I am not resposible for any problem arise by doing this. Again, I experienced this before and Ill do it again.

Kerosene as engine oil flush?
