Still trying to pass smog, did the plugs, air filter, oil change.. Just a few HC's over.. Lovin' Cali right now.. The dude show'd me a test he's not supposed to at the smog shop reporting i had 43k Hydrocarbons in the crank case, there was an additive put in my oil on the change before by the shop i went to do clear it out.. He recommended flushing the crank case.. Anyone done this before or have any tips on how to do it? From what i understand it's just a matter of changing your oil a few times in a short period of time, or you can take it to a place that will do it for you..

Try using a qt of ATF and six qts of oil. it has alot of detergants in it. -
ATF won't hurt the engine?Comment

It's thin but that's why you shouldn't use too much. I would'nt drive very far with it. Just enough to get the engine up to operating temp and flush what it can out. I've also seen guys put a little in the gas tank. Supposed to burn all the carbon off the valves. It's a trick that I learned from the old school guys at work, the guys that prefer to work on the old S**T. If it's pre E36 I don't want anything to do with it.Comment
