I do the same thing Don, always have. I run MobilOne but use dino oil to
flush out the oilpan, seems to get all kinds of stuff out that would
normally be left in with the new oil, takes about half a quart until it runs
clear.

Greg, I asked this a few years ago also. I've been doing that same procedure
for years. I'll get about half a cup of dirty oil. Then I'll pour a little
clean oil into the block and that helps to get out some of the slop on the
bottom of the pan. When I did ask it I got the cold shoulder back then and
answers to the affects of "wasting your time" and "change the oil more often
if you want cleaner oil". But to this day I still do it.
