yesterday after driving the car 20min from work I used:
1 bottle of Liqui Moly engine flush
half a can of BG engine flush (to make it a treatment for 8L)
on my 2005 e55 with 105k miles, I changed the oil after 4100mi on the Liqui Moly 5w40
Ran the car at idle for 15min
Drain oil, change filter, replace with:
2 full bottles of ceratec
Rotella T6 5w40
total liquids 9qt
Start the car.. immediately hear a stupid loud tick... OH SHI
Then it lubricated and it sounded SO QUIET. Then after it warmed up is sounded the same as always, mostly because of my thin midlength headers at idle. Loud engines what can you do.
Results:
-Slightly smoother acceleration
-Better behavior under heavy load
-No stumbling when I let go of the gas pedal after WOT
-No downshifts when I depress the pedal when cruising around
Good stuff.
