i was using 5-30. I used Engine flush 3 months ago.   I think all the crap went into the sump and when i put new oil in, it sucked all that crap up :( and got stuck in the turbo lines.  

I cleaned them all out they where full of rubbish.

Will never use engine flush again!

Yeah all the build up from the engine must have been stripped off and blocked the pick up  :cry:

I will add NOT to use engine flush to the service thread  :smiley:
