To begin -
1. Add Wynn's Engine Flush or any commercial engine flush available - Please remember that the engine needs to attain normal operating temperature while doing this. Once this product in the engine, rev it steady @ 2000 for 8 - 10 mins ( please do rev steady for the flush to do its' job )

2. Drain the oil, be carefull not to burn your hands ( wear some protective gloves) Well while the dirty oil is pouring into your oil strainer, you can remove the oil filter. Now the important bit, if you want your oil to be clean and not contaminated with the black usual diesel oil. While the oil filter is still in place, start the engine for a rough 15 secs. This will make sure that all the oil gateways are cleaned.

3. Clean the oil filter area, put some oil on the O ring to help with the tightening process and mount the sump nut too.

4. The Marea td100 takes 4.3 Litres of oil including oil filter, so we need to be precise here, too little is as bad as too much.

5. Get some Molyslip, Wynn's Supercharge for diesel and Wynn's stop leak ( what it does, it protects all your rubber hoses and seals any minor leaks which form grime after a while ) Add all this into the oil orifice. In all this 3 items makes 800 ML. Now do your caculations as you'll need 3500 ML of oil.

6. I use Mobil Super Synthetic oil - 5W 40 pure tri synthetic oil. It will give you prolong engine efficiency and high power output at all range. Well once you finish, get the oil gauge after 4 mins and give the engine a start.

7. You should notice : -

1. Quieter Engine and smooth start up
2. Better Fuel comsumption because of less friction
3. Better running temperature because of less friction, so less heat
4. Smooth power delivery across torque band
5. Excellent power maintaining and superb engine lubrication at high speeds.
6. Oil does not thicken because of oil viscosity improvers

Well I hope this does good to your engine and to your driving taste as my car has greatly improve and I must say, it eat miles while each time I open the bonnet I see the engine smiling at me. Don't forget as it is what we eat stands for us.

Don't forget to change the diesel filter and air filter during the process, they are cheap as chips.

Good luck.

Running an engine without a feed to your oil pump is asking for trouble. Even if you have oil in your filter, the pump has no oil to compress (as you've just drained it out of the sump) so the oil in your filter will not feed the bearings at the required pressure. You then have the problem of a dry engine when you come to fire it back up again so you need to manually crank the engine to get the new oil circulated first.

I think I'd rather have a little bit of soot contamination in my new oil rather than have premature wear on my crank, rod, cam and turbo bearings. It'll look black after a few hundred miles anyway so you're really not gaining anything.
 
Hi javednazeer,

Thanks for that post :)

I use ZX1 and Mobil 10W 40 in my engine (2.0 petrol). The additive does actually seem to improve mileage slightly, but as driving styles tend to drift over time its always difficult to prove. I personally don't think going to 5W in the UK is really necessary.

I agree with RS Pilot though about drying the engine out. I don't think its worth bothering trying to get the oil 100% clean as it will soon get contaminated to that level again. If you are worried about acid residue then a drive chain cleaning additive will neutralise the acid for longer and clean out any remaining varnish.
