    Which high detergent oil to use?

    I'm putting the heads back on the 87 RR.

    It was filthy inside and I will have cleaned all the bits I've taken off obviously.

    I'd like to run a high detergent oil for a couple of thousand ks to clean out the rest of the motor.

    Any recommendations on what oil to use?

    any good quality diesel oil will do the trick

    caltex delo 400, shell rimulaX, anything like that will do it....

    be aware you may flush it too clean and the bottom end will begin to rattle...

    I run Castrol RX in my 3.5EFI for that reason - more detergent in the formula.

    I then make sure I change the oil and filter often - motor is getting cleaner.

    You could also consider the CEM high concentrate oil flush.

    Look for the thread in here (technical chatter) about the CEM oil flush and fuel treatment.

    A lot of people have have used it with a great deal of success.

    I have used it, as well as the Clean Power fuel treatment.

    You will notice a big difference.
