Maybe because its' never been a topic here that I've seen anyway. Why do you feel you need an engine flush? If the engine has been properly maintained it should still nearly been in factory new condition inside what with all the improvement's to engine oil over the last 25 years. The days of sludge inside the valve covers is ancient history.

Really? The data is easy to find. Just Google it if you're lazy.

However, try to find an independant lab that is ISO, SAE, or ASTM certified that backs up the claims of what these products make. It's about as easy as finding a Consumer Reports article validating the Tornado as a good upgrade in your intake. Or you might have better luck finding replacement blinker fluid. Or, you can locate the Ford part number for the spark plugs in my truck.

Oh, and another point. Check out the Federal Trade Commission's web site and run a search for Engine Oil Additives. You'll find nearly every product imaginable that the FTC has found to produce unsubstantiated results, or completely false advertisement.

So, are engine oil additives useless? Yes!!!!!!!

I have some of that for sale.

SP07. They are platinum plugs. I'm sure we can somehow shoehorn them in.

Not to the manufacturers since they make money off them.
