Presumably he's referring to the oiling system. Last time I did that was for an FC Holden in the days before they fitted oil filters. That was a hell of a long time ago though...

Are you referring to the engine oil flush that you mix in before you do oil change to help remove sludge.
I know the deal was charger for it in your service whether they use it or not I don't know

Naaaa just use a quality oil and change it regularly. (5ks filter and oil) Oil does get dark/black in a diesel, it shows it is doing its job of keeping carbon in suspension ready for the next oil change.
Cheers Gipsy :D although I'm sure somebody will challenge that :lol: even Einstein wasn't certain of his theories.
