    Yeah copy that I used the CEM product - got both the oil flush and the fuel treatment packet - they are great - and the oil flush is not solvent based - so no chance of a big engine destroying boom!

    Professionalism, with a A+ ordered - spent 15 minutes on phone discussing products and figuring out which one suited me. then emailed me the recipt - for personal reasons and posted the item - express post I paid late in the arvo and had the item THE NEXT DAY - i have never seen as good customer service anywhere . Ill be going back with i buy my new drum of gear oil for the gear addative.

    In the end many products will work its just what the individual will be happy with

    Is the CEM stuff the same as the Auto-RX that was referred to earlier?

    Any one tried these or others ? recommendations / warnings / comments ?
    If your engine is a diesel and you are using diesel engine oil, which has detergent additives and your services are up-to-date, why flush.

    Engine oil performs 3 may be 4 things, Lubricates, Cools, Cleans (thats why the oil is black due to the detergents) and leaks on your driveway.

    in a perfect world you are exactly right, in general use any diesel gets a build up of sludge and also glaze on the bores. CEM cleans it up.

    my very well maintained unit made about 1/2 a litre of extra oil on the initial cleanup from memory.

    the CEM treatment working in japanese diesels has made 1 1/2 litres on the first flush :P

    my vehicle was definetely way better for the treatment IMHO

    Hi Guys,

    I've got a disco td5 99", I know the patrols and Toyotos needs oil flushes now and then + spare parts. What about the TD5, with 210 000km on. Will a engine flush help get some power back??

    i did my 300tdi at 175000 and it made a marked improvement.

    if power is down due to glaze and sludge it will defiently make a difference if it behaves like it did in mine
