Hi gang,

I'm switching to synthetic oil, and need some info.  I read on the "Engine 
Oil Bible" page 
(http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2195/engineoil_bible.html) that before 
switching it is a good idea to get a "flushing oil" for use before the 
swich.  Here's what it said

:"These are special compound oils that are 
very, very thin. They almost have the consistency of tap water when cold. 
Typically they are 0W/20 oils. Don't ever drive with theseoils in the 
engine - it won't last. Their purpose is for cleaning out all the gunk 
which builds up inside an engine. To use them, drain your engine of all 
it's oil, but leave the old oil filter in place. Next fill it up with 
flushing oil and run it at a fast idle for about 20 minutes. Finally, 
drain all this off (and marvel at the crap that comes out with it), 
replace the oil filter, refill with a good synthetic oil and voila! Clean 
engine."


Now I'm trying to find a flushing oil - my local speed shop hasn't heard 
of them (could be a British term?) - anyone know where I might find one, 
who makes one, etc.?

Thanks,

Chris
