Phil answered this earlier today, look back a few posts. Like you I had always
assumed these products were akin to 'slick50' type marketing products and
avoided them.

Phil, I can get Comma flushing oil locally, is their product ok? I remember
you mentioned them a while back but I can't remember if it was a recommendation
or not.
