Never believed in any of those "mechanic-in-a-can" additives, flushes, etc.. Never used one on any vehicle I've owned, and I've logged hundreds of thousands of trouble-free miles.

 

If you're dropping the pan anyway, just clean it in a parts washer, or wash tub of gasoline, and save your money for parts.

 

How many miles do you have on this engine? If you're over 200k & you plan on keeping it several more years, it wouldn't hurt to throw some new crank/con-rod bearings in, along with a new oil pump and timing chain.
