Hallo Jim,=20
I forgot to add that the "onboard flushing system" has a very effective fil=
ter in it : it does collect all that debris and to get rid of it all you ha=
ve to do is exchange that filter.=20
But I don't like "yes" / "no" diskussions : as I am from Belgium*, I will l=
ose it anyway!=20

Ask yourself, how many quarts of oil do your oil lines, cooler and sump lin=

When the engine is running, during a race, a hot fluid with detergents and =
other additives is flushing the engine, oil cooler etc... namely the engine=
 oil! Frankly, I really wonder if flushing the engine by yourself is any be=
tter. Admittedly, the engine oil is contaminated with combustion blow by, t=
his is one of the reasons to exchange the engine oil every now and then, bu=
t is it really possible to do anything better than that? I may very well be=
 wrong, but so far I don't understand why it is necessary to flush the engi=

Brian,=20

I mis-spoke when I said I flush the accusump with kerosene. I flush the acc=
usump with cheapo oil but flush the sump lines with kerosene=20

When I dump the old oil I leave the electric valve open and run the pressur=
e up with the Schrader valve in the other end to insure the piston is botto=
med.=20

I put the cheap oil in the oil charger, remove the Schrader valve and conne=
ct it to the accusump completely fill the accusump with oil, re connect the=
 sump line, put the Schrader valve back in and run the pressure up to 90 PS=
I and blow the oil back out into the pan while draining.=20

Then I=E2=80=99ll remove the Schrader valve again, connect my flusher to bo=
th ends of the sump line and circulate some kerosene. I still have cheapo o=
il in the charger,=20

I=E2=80=99ll run a quart of that through the sump line just to chase out an=
y kerosene and move to the oil cooler and cooler lines. The last phase is w=
ith new VR-1,=20

Fully charge the accusump, fill the sump line & reconnect, re-fill the oil =
cooler and cooler lines and reconnect everything & done. I set up all my oi=
l lines to make this easy. My oil cooler lines have an inline filter and bo=
th incoming and out going lines have a connection right on top of the L/F f=
ender for easy access.=20

It sounds like a pain but a full oil change and flush takes me about an hou=
r. I could make things even easier with dry break fittings but those things=
 are really pricey so for now I=E2=80=99ll just spend the hour on a change.=
 On a new engine everything will come apart and get hand cleaned.=20

Having that K & P filter really helps get tiny debris out as it=E2=80=99s g=
enerated.=20

Some years ago now I had a conversation with Lake Speed Jr at Brad Penn oil=
s about viscosity and drove home the importance of maintaining oil quality.=
 After that conversation I went all out in the way I treat my oiling system=
.=20

I run the K & P oil filter with cleanble element. I keep a spare filter ele=
ment which I change out after every day of racing. The filter elements are =
FAA certified so good enough for me. So, after each day of racing I can see=
 how my motor is doing in just a couple minutes. Oil is changed after two w=
eekends. On each oil change I completely flush=20

all my oil lines, oil cooler and my accusump with kerosene with the handy r=
ecirculating flusher I made from a 5 gallon bucket and 12 volt fluid pump. =
I'll run a few quarts of cheap oil through just to make sure there is no ke=
rosene left. After that I recharge the entire system with a pressurized oil=
 fill can with VR-1.=20

This way I have all the old oil out and can refill the oil lines, cooler an=
d accusump with fresh oil. Then I can re-pressurize the accusump and it's r=
eady to go on the next engine start.=20

Overkill? maybe, but overkill is underated anyway. My motors last longer as=
 a result of the extra work.=20

I routinely cut the spin-on filters open for inspection, street and race ca=
rs.=20


There's a purpose-made cutter available nowadays, it's just a big tubing cu=
tter.=20


My procedure is to cut off the end, remove the element, strip the hardware =
off of it and cut the ends off with a sharp blade. Then stretch out the ele=
ment dirty (outside) up on a couple layers of paper towels and weight the e=
nds so that it lays flat.=20


Leave it overnight so that the oil soaks out of it and you'll be able to se=
e any trash very clearly in the folds.=20


You'll also be amazed at how little filter material is in some filters eg f=

Any bad stuff in the oil lines is gonna originate in the engine, so make th=

nd what nobody else mentioned, a check valve after the cooler before it goe=
s back to the engine (keeps oil from flowing backwards into cooler, say on =
start-up.) My Accusump is plumbed into a Tee that=E2=80=99s just before the=
 engine inlet =E2=80=93 what goes to the Accusump is filtered and cooled oi=
l, and what comes from the Accusump goes only to the engine because the che=

And yeah, coolers are cheap. If I=E2=80=99m concerned I=E2=80=99ll flush ou=

Yes, filter first. But what I have run into on some customers cars is the w=
ay the cooler lines run. Most coolers are mounted with the fittings on top.=
 This does not permit the cooler to drain and when you change your oil, the=
 cooler retains the old oil. You have to remove the cooler and at least one=
 line to drain the old oil out. Try to set your cooler a little high with t=
he fitting on the bottom so it can self drain. Of course, this means you mu=
st pre-lube the engine before startup. I also set my cooler behind the radi=
ator and not in front. NASCAR experts say that the closer the oil and water=
 temp are to each other, the better.=20

Filter first. Keeps the crud out of the cooker. Coolers are hard to clean. =
Good thought By Glen to replace the cooker on engine refreshing.=20


With a cooler in the system, also a good idea to prelube the engine with an=
 Accusump upon cold start. Oil cooler lines are long and may drain upon sta=
nding a while.=20

I typically run an inspectable (Oberg) out of the engine before the cooler,=
 and a second filter after the cooler.=20


It may be overkill but it eliminates the possibility of oil cooler trash ge=

I also replace the cooler @ every engine freshen-up.=20

the old oil. You have to remove the cooler and at least one line to drain t=
