How do I use Flushing Oil Concentrate to get the best result?

 

Maxodyne Flushing Oil ConcentrateWe are often asked this very important question – “How do I use Flushing Oil Concentrate to get the very best result possible?”

​Flushing Oil Concentrate is possibly the most effective and safe treatment in removing harmful and performance draining sludge, hard carbon, soot and other contaminants and deposits from oil-wetted engine components. It contains a highly concentrated selection of specific detergents and dispersants, (not abrasive and corrosive solvents) which enable lubricating oils to dissolve and suspend deposits as a very fine dispersion. In such a way, sludge, gum, dirt and wear metals are removed with the oil change.

Flushing Oil Concentrate is not just another harmful solvent based, off-the-shelf engine flush that you simply pour into the engine and forget about. This product is a highly concentrated, specialized treatment, designed specifically to do a tough job, a job that most other available treatments just cannot do.

How good is Flushing Oil Concentrate?

Decades of research and development have allowed Flushing Oil Concentrate to be totally effective at restoring pristine cleanliness to all internal engine components.

It is ideal for both gasoline and diesel powered engines, and when used as recommended will achieve the following results –

  • Eliminate engine sludge & hard carbon
  • Release stuck piston rings
  • Reduce smoke, blowby & oil use
  • Restore cylinder compression
  • Stop diesel engine oil going black right after an oil change.

Because of it’s highly concentrated nature, we recommend following our specific treatment instructions to get the very best result.

flushing oil concentrate engine flush remove engine sludgeThere are 2 treatment applications –

The 1st, Initial Treatment, is designed for the very first oil flush of an engine. Typically the engine will have heavy sludge build up in many internal component areas throughout the entire engine. The Initial Treatment is a highly concentrated, heavy-duty application where the Flushing Oil Concentrate works hard to break down and suspend all contaminants, especially hard, baked-on carbon deposits.

The 2nd, Continuing Maintenance Treatment, is designed to ensure the engine components are kept clean in subsequent, scheduled maintenance oil services, i.e. subsequent oil changes after the Initial Treatment application. This application is less concentrated because there will be much less sludge build up since the 1st Initial Treatment. It ensures all critical internal engine components remain clean, and engine destroying sludge and other contaminants are removed before they can cause serious problems.

Flushing Oil Concentrate Treatment Instructions

INITIAL TREATMENT

  1. Start and run the engine and bring to FULL operating temperature. This allows as many contaminants as possible to be suspended in the existing oil. Don’t add Flushing Oil Concentrate yet.
  2. Stop the engine and drain the existing engine oil while the engine is still hot. It’s a good idea to replace the oil filter/s at this time as possible heavy contamination of the existing filter may occur during the flushing process.
  3. Refill the engine with new, clean oil. This new oil can be inexpensive oil, as it will only be in the engine for a short period of time.
  4. Start and run the engine until it reaches operating temperature.
  5. Turn off the engine and add Flushing Oil Concentrate to the engine oil at 0.5 fl oz per quart of engine oil (12.5 mL per liter)
  6. Restart the engine and run at fast idle, stationary, for 45 minutes. For most small and medium size engines, fast idle means 1500 – 2000 RPM. For larger size engines (e.g over 9.0-Liter/550 Cubic Inch engine displacement), run engine at about 1200 RPM.
  7. After 45 minutes, stop the engine and drain the engine oil while the engine is still hot.
  8. Refill the engine with new, quality engine oil. Replace engine oil filter/s. Job done!

It is strongly recommended to NOT operate the engine normally, i.e drive etc, during the initial, highly concentrated treatment phase. Because of the very effective action of the Flushing Oil Concentrate, there will be an increased amount of dissolved contaminants in the engine oil, and these contaminants may be detrimental to engine components if left suspended in the oil for an extended period of time.

Occasionally, for an engine with years, or decades, of sludge build up, a second, follow up concentrated flush may be required soon after the initial flush (e.g. 600 – 1200 miles, 10 – 12 hours). If this is necessary, follow steps 1 – 4 of the Initial Treatment instructions, then –

  1. Turn off the engine and add Flushing Oil Concentrate to the engine oil at 0.25 fl oz per quart of engine oil (6 mL per liter). This is 1/2 the rate of the Initial Treatment.
  2. Restart the engine and operate normally for between 4 – 6 hours maximum.
  3. Stop the engine and drain the engine oil while the engine is still hot.
  4. Refill the engine with new, quality engine oil. Replace engine oil filter/s. Job done!

CONTINUING MAINTENANCE TREATMENT

  1. Start and run the engine and bring to FULL operating temperature.
  2. Turn off the engine and add Flushing Oil Concentrate to the engine oil at 0.1 fl oz per quart of engine oil (2.5 mL per liter).
  3. Restart the engine and drive normally/operate the engine for a continuous 30 – 60 minutes (or fast idle, stationary, for 30 minutes) immediately prior to the oil change.
  4. Stop the engine and drain the engine oil while the engine is still hot.
  5. Refill the engine with new, quality engine oil. Replace engine oil filter/s. Job done!

TRANSMISSIONS, GEARBOXES, DIFFERENTIALS, FINAL DRIVES TREATMENT

  1. It may be first necessary to drain/remove some component oil to allow for the addition of the Flushing Oil Concentrate.
  2. Add Flushing Oil Concentrate to the oil at 0.5 fl oz per quart of oil (12.5mL per liter).
  3. Operate the vehicle/machine for approximately 60 minutes to allow component temperature to reach and maintain maximum operating temperature, and to allow sufficient oil agitation.
  4. Park up the vehicle/machine and drain the oil as soon as possible – preferably while it is as close as possible to operating temperature.
  5. Refill with quality oil, and replace any filters if applicable.
