Kurt,

I'm sure there will always be traces of 'motor flush' and/or 5W20 lurking in your engine if you follow my advice.   My method is really a short-cut, the 'best' procedure would be to use your 'chosen' oil to flush the system....it just takes longer, and especially if you're using Synthetic, it's going to cost a lot for that piece of mind.

Keep in mind, this is a once every 20k-50k mile kind of thing.  By the time you do another 'regular' oil change, the 5W20 and detergent residues will be history.

 

StabnSteer,

I'm well aware of the claims against Slick50 and their BS claim regarding 'engine start-up performance'.  Fact is, I wasn't that diligent with the Infiniti, and there is some merit to PTFE in the right applications.  It could be a placebo effect, or maybe I just want to feel better about spending $200-$300 on Slick50 over the years!  lol
