Default What do you use to flush your engine?

I heard Amsoil Flush is good but recommend doing it in 10-15 minutes. Then there is Bardahl Flush, STP and others that recommends only 5 minutes.
Which one do you guys used that gives you a good result?

Chris did the sea foam ever work? That story still makes me crack up (smoke rolling out).

Yah the sea foam stuff seemed to work theres still some carbon that I can see but I can now see some of the piston to which is good.

Nah I used it twice within about 10,000 miles after that things stayed pretty clean... probly cuz I use synthetic and the dealer didnt before I owned it (lease car)

dont know how good eather one realy is. helped some people change from dino oil to amsoil at that time also used amsoil engine flush. one used off the shelf engine flush( dont rem the name) and then used mobil 1. all the cars seemed no diferant than before. i have used seafoam it was pita but seemed to work. i used half the can in the oil and the other through the intake manifold. it did creat some black smoke but nothing like chris.

amsoil has great products i use there xl-7500 oil works good. i would trust amsoil over anyother name for a simple engine flush
