[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 939118, member: 61303"] Not recommending this, but my uncle actually used to do a three stage oil change on his 1967 Chrysler Imperial. He claimed it cleaned everything out before he put the new oil in. 1) Drain the old oil and refill with 5 quarts of diesel fuel (no, I'm not making this up!). 2) Run engine for 1 minute to distribute the diesel fuel. Shut engine off, drain diesel fuel, refill crankcase with cheap 30w oil. 3) Run engine for 5 minutes with cheap oil. Shut engine off, drain cheap oil, refill with whatever he thought the best oil was for that week. He claimed it kept the engine in tip top shape. I could just see a possible fire in the making and accelerated bearing wear for that minute the diesel was in there. He sold the car before it could wear out. [/QUOTE]
