I have a 2001 300ex and my oil is always pretty black. and when i change it their always seems to be old dirty oil left behind tht turns new oil dark after cranking it over and shuting it down. i want to know if i could flush my engine with something to get all of the crude out? thnks for any help

do you let it cool down a while before draining it.

ive got a lt230 that does it too. i usually wash it out with some cheap oil for about 5 min. drain it and put some good oil and a fresh filter. i use mobile 1 synthetic 20w-50 on everything.

BTW when im draining the oil and its all come out i jack the front up and usually a little more comes out. jack the back up and jack the sides up. it really helps with getting the last bit out. ( thats when im draining the cheap stuff. dont do it when draining the regular oil )

hope this helps
