I used Amsoil's flush shortly after buying my '02 Viggen a few months ago. I did that just because I wasn't sure what oil had been used in it before I took ownership.
From everything I've read, it isn't recommended to use a chemical flush if you suspect sludge as this could just dislodge non-disolveable chunks and cause further damage. Kind of like dislodging a blood clot....who know's where it will end up and waht damage it will do.
Mind me asking....what oil do you use? Do you do many short trips? Seems like you're prone to excessive sludging....would be interesting to find out why and address the cause once the symptom is corrected.
