$145 saves Diesel Rebuild!


Nissan Patrol 4.2L Diesel, with 235,000 miles.

It overheated every time I turned the air conditioning on.  I have replaced the Radiator (Twice), the Fan Hub (Twice), numerous thermostats, the water pump, had the cooling system cleaned out and new batteries almost 6 monthly...but no joy!


Then, one day at the doctors surgery I saw your ad in a 4x4 magazine, and ordered a pack of Flushing Concentrate and fuel treatment. I took the Patrol to my mechanic with instructions to follow. He dropped the oil hot, and then added fresh oil and the Flushing Oil Concentrate. He then set the hand throttle at 1250RPM and let the patrol idle away. After 20 minutes, revs increased to 1650RPM. Some 2L or more of sludge was flushed out, judging by the volume of dirty oil removed.

A good quality diesel oil was then added with the AW10 Antiwear additive. Leaving the garage, I put the
air conditioner on and drove off up a long climb that always caused my truck to get very hot (without the air). This time, I noticed that not only did the temperature remain well within the operating range, I had also "picked up a gear". The patrol was running as good as I have ever seen it.

Even running a long steep climb up the highway, with a tandem trailer and the air on, temperature stays well down. The other improvement is the starting. I used to have problems, particularly on cold mornings, but now it starts first kick...never done that before!

Sludge and carbon are big engine killers!

The engines below were all rebuilt at about half the expected life. But, that's probably a good thing...because they were all heading for a catastrophic, and much more expensive failure, if they kept running!

 
  
 Engine destroying sludge in action. Oil starvation and seized engine are big risks here!
 Heavy carbon build up. The engine also had sticking piston rings, so lots of oil use and blowby! That carbon poses a high chance of grabbing a piston!
 Extreme carbon build up on exhaust valves. Engine failure coming up... ...guaranteed!

 Engine deposits cause major problems, and many of our customers are in absolute awe of what our products do for their engines!

Our philosophy is...if you have a problem, get things clean first! It’s the cheapest and easiest thing to do first, and so often, that’s all that is needed.

Look what our customers say...

Just wanting to give you guys a round of applause for the difference your products have made to our old 1990 Nissan GQ Patrol 4.2 Diesel.

The Flushing Oil Concentrate, sheer magic, the oil is now a clear honey colour on the dipstick and black smoke has been improved by about 75%, she still blows a little puff of smoke under hard acceleration (well as hard as a 4.2 Diesel Patrol can accelerate anyway!), but I have no doubt this will improve even more with the use of the Cleanpower Fuel Treatment (still on the first tank of fuel since adding to the fuel), but I will keep you posted on this. Instantly noticeable is the increase in oil pressure and the lower temp she now runs which is a godsend because she was starting to get a little hot under the collar on hot days and longer inclines.

As a point of interest for you, I followed the instructions for the FOC and drained the original oil hot, refilled to maunfacturers specs of 9.2 litres of oil and added the prescribed 125ml of FOC and when I dropped the oil after after the 30min high (1250rpm) idle I drained an incredible 14.7litres out of her, and after just 5mins the idle had gone from 1250rpm to over 1500rpm and was still climbing, forcing me to reset the idle back down to 1250rpm!

The AW10 Antiwear has improved the gear changes in the old girl out of sight, what used to be a beligerant SOB when cold is now slicker than a Parramatta Road used car salesman it has also reduced the rear diff's very slight whine to less than a whisper, to say I am wrapped with the result thus far would be a gross understatement.  It seems to have made the old Patrol alot smoother altogether mechanically.

My wife who drives the Patrol the vast majority of the time is really impressed with the results too, so on behalf of both of us I want to thanks, and you can be assured we will be talking up the benefits of your excellent products for many years to come.

Warm regards,

Shane Cusack

Mack and Detroit Fleet. We have been using the Flushing Oil Concentrate in some of our older 12L Macks and Series 60 Detroit Diesels with great success. These engines had developed a fair bit of blow-by and were using more oil. We find that using the Flushing Oil Concentrate reduces blow-by and oil use in these older engines. (Mark James, Wellmix.)

Jeep Cherokee 2.8L Common Rail Diesel. My Jeep has only done 40,000 miles from brand new. I've got to say what a great product your Flushing Oil Concentrate is! After using it with clean oil for the flush, I drained the synthetic oil through a 10 micron filter. WOW! I could not believe the amount of fine gunk that came out! And the engine's only done 40,000 miles! Love the product! (Dave Eddy)

Toyota Landcruiser 1985 with 265,000 miles. Just a note to let you know that my Toyota has a new lease on life after using your Flushing Oil Concentrate. I also added AW10 Antiwear to the engine, both diffs, transfer case and gearbox, and Cleanpower in the fuel. It now has heaps more power, more low down torque, pulls more RPM, uses less fuel, heaps less noise, no more smoke and very smooth gear changes - Great stuff, will be highly recommending to family and friends. I also added AW10 Antiwear to the mower and 2 stroke Stihl snipper...what a difference! Roger Debels.

Nissan Patrol 2.8L TD. I used the Flushing Oil Concentrate to your instructions, and couldn't believe the sludge that came out!! The motor is now running a lot smoother and staying much cooler under heavy loads now, eg towing my 2 tonne horse float. Fuel consumption has also improved. Les White, Heartland Real Estate.

Freightliner FLC112. (Riseley’s Bulk Haulage). Powered by Series 60 Detroit with 18 speed Roadranger and Eaton diffs. Use of AW10 resulted in smoother gear shifts esp when cold. No click on fast changes. A slight engine rattle has also disappeared. Temperature reductions going up the local range were 25F for the gearbox, 15F front diff and 20F rear diff!! Owner, Phil Riseley was so impressed, he had to ring us at the top of the range!
