Amsoil Flush is not hard on seals at all. I'm not sure exactly what is in it, to be 100% honest. Esters and really low viscosity oils with a lot of detergent (Ca based), and some other organic (carbon based) liquids and longer chain amines would be my guess. It is a pretty good flush, but it's no way, no how going to clean to the base metal in a groady sludged engines. I will take multiple uses with fresh oil and filter to do that.

My question was restricted to LM vs Seafoam, the answer to which was given in the first few posts. Now it's just a XXXX-swinging contest between PHDs of sludge.
I agree. Amsoil has been a supporter of BITOG for 10 years. I didn't drop Amsoil in this thread, but it was brought up in the very first response to you.
