    just read a great description of it.

    get an empty paint spray can (the kind with the metal stirrer ball in it) slide it into a stubbie holder and shake.

    I just went and tried it and its pretty close.

    Nope, the Disco is not sounding like an empty spray can - fortunately :-) I think it is basically rings, and maybe guides / stem seals.

    Will know soon (opening it up), and will report back!

    What about diesel engine oil like a Caltex Delo 400 etc??
    Generally the detergents in these are good enough to release carbon build up.
    CAT oil is also pretty good.
    Ran Delo in mine after cleaning the sump for 3 changes and ended up having to do it again and got just as much crap out as the first time.
