just about to do my oil too , bit off advise if you don't mind ,
do any of you guys use an engine flush prior to oil change , just got some silkolene pro s10-50 and new filter and a millers flush , my dad said it may cause other probs if i use the flush ? any one ever heard of this ?
turbo is a bit smoky as it is but hoping using a btter qaulity oil may help , been using a millers 10-40 semi as atop up and its using quite alot ? blue on overun
is there any additives which can help make smoke less or will this oil help , going to get turbo rebuilt but want to wait till i take it off the road for its winter break .
cheers
gaz.

As far as I am aware the only problem a flush will cause is it'll unblock some "friendly" gunk that is stopping a small leak.
