Looking to do engine flush on mini one 1.4 90000 what would be a good product to used? Thanks M
sea foam is what i use all the time on a number of cars, euro 4 euro 5 euro6 emissions cars in the EU are designed to collect as much carbon within the oil and engine etc untill around 75k where the carbon beats them it would seem, ie diesels dpf filters and egr valves clog up or petrols the running the oil with carbon build up wears the internals like timing chains faster than a clean oil engine,, this all said seafoam melts the carbon and removes it very well even cleans fuel system on diesels etc, every other oil change
below link for info, i dont support some peoples foolish way of pouring it in to the inlet of any engine, but used as oil additive 50 miles before service works a treat, have used it for 20 years now seen engines after wards change a lot no more ticking or breathing heavy when its dirt causing the problem and not wear,, a support person would think it would cure a worn out engine as nothing will except a rebuilt engine. they also do a inlet spray that will if used once a moth clear carbon and prevent it on rears of inlet valves on turbo engines,,

Thanks will give it a go!
a really good friend of mine the other day had a noise ticking injectors on a big ford diesel engine after around 60k,, he phoned me told me bloody hell that seafoam is good he put a can in fuel tank under a 1/4 tank of diesel and run it for a hour and could ear it change tone as its cleaned the piezo type injectors out,, i've used it on a lot of diesels like this the best method on a diesel is fill a new fuel filter housing up half way and run car on a good 20 minutes fast revs run if that dont fix them them its injector wear and not just dirt as a rule, i also use it to clean engine parts with scotch brite cleans off carbon leaves the alloys looking like new, believe it was designed in usa for trucks as emission laws there are strict and collect carbon in the engines a lot.. clean engine oil and internals so important for engine life, ask any engine builder
