    Engine Oil Flush - Wet Clutch

    Thanks very much, I'll go with this as the oil I've bought is an ester based one anyway. Out of interest, would the percentage of ester particularly matter, does it need to be above a certain percentage concentration by weight or volume? Helpful info from everyone else too, thanks. Clutch is...

    Using a thicker operating temperature oil?

    Main reason is that over here, I can get a barrel of decent quality oil at a better price (this stuff: https://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/10-tenths-premium-5w-50-100-pao-ester).

I figure flushing it would be erring on the side of caution, particularly...

    Engine Oil Flush - Wet Clutch

    So I have a bucket of Penrite Engine Oil flush: https://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/engine-flush I asked here if this stuff was appropriate for a wet clutch running in the same oil as the engine, and got a sort of indirect, 'yes, it is fine'...
