Hi hallb2,
Sounds like good advice.
When you say 50/50 oil and diesel do you mean 50 normal oil and 50 diesel oil ?
Thanks.

Think he means diesel fuel not diesel oil.
Diesel is a great solvent, I'd be a bit worried about its lubricating qualities though.

Thanks.
Hmmm. Maybe I will have a think about that.
Fuel in the sump?
Sounds dangerous to me !
Cheers.

Diesel is not a volatile or flammable as petrol, but yeah you wouldn't go doing this unless you really had to. Sounds a lot easier than striping the engine though!

Its a 50/50 mix. so if your oil capacity is 6 litres then use 3 litres oil and 3 litres diesel fuel. The way it was explained to me (because i was very suspect about this too) is that diesel is oily as well but with the engine oil mix it made a good cleaner while still providing lubrication.

Its literally start and stop the engine 6 or so times and drain it it. But run it (and when i say run it i mean idle and nothing more) for a few minutes at a time. I wouldnt be running it for any great length of time or driving it with this in your engine. It worked for me but you make up your own mind. My engine idled without any weird noises or anything going wrong and actually sounded pretty smooth.

I understand the ill feeling towards putting diesel down the oil filler hole though. Its a strange feeling.
