Liqui-Moly Engine Oil Cleaner

First oil change on my Dad’s car since picking it up on Saturday. The car has been short tripped around Concord Mass all of its life.

As some may know this engine runs on the cool side. That combined with the bulk 5W30 and short trips created some sludge and varnish.

Normally I would not use the LM engine oil cleaner. But I feel comfortable using it since I will be driving the car.

Is it OK to rotate-cross our tires now? Ever since the advent of steel belted tires around 40 years old, I thought such practice was a No-No.
Perhaps today's technology now allows it and I'm just not keeping up.

I do the forward cross on my mom’s tucson. On my AWD bmws I do the rearward cross. All cars have a square setup and non directional tires.

Out; dealership 5w30 and Delco PF63A -made in China.

Drained hot and pre-filled the filter. The horror!
API SP 10w40 is likely a synthetic blend of sorts.
Not your grandpa's 10w40.

As long as the tires are not directional and the same size, they can be cross-rotated. Cross rotation makes the tires wear more evenly too.

Since steel belted tires arrived, I've only done front-to-back or back-to-front rotations. Technology today now allows these cross rotations without damage to the steel belts?..... OK, Great.

Technology today allows the tires to remain quiet after cross-rotating them?....... that's great also. I sure haven't been keeping-up with how steel belt tires have progressed / advanced.

Thanks!
