This is a take off from my 1st post. I added a QT of Motor Medic flush to what was already in my car (1998 Firebird 3.8l) and this is what we got out after 7 minutes of idling.
last oil change I picked up a magnetic plug. I thought it was worthless, but it works!
the entire tip was coating in a metallic sludge that felt gritty and pasty. It was metal of some kind as it stayed stuck to the magnet but came right off with a rag.
another thing I noticed is the fact I'm wasting money on oil filters that I don't utilize to the fullest. M1 replaced at less than 5K miles!
Out with the old, in with the new.
QS filter with Super S 5W-30 blend for $8.99.
I know it's not the 10W-30called for, but we are out of winter here now and don't think we will get below zero anytime soon.
Now here's the kicker. After adding the Motor Flush... Here's what drained out.
And finally.... where do I get a tool to cut open filters! I'd love to post more pics for you guys.
Any feedback or questions would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
