 I probably should keep my mouth shut.
How would you eat? Or more importantly, drink?

 But what the hell. I heard by
several people than running anti-freeze in an engine, or clutch will
clean out the system. anti-freeze, I was told acts like a detergent. I
don't have any specifics, I'm just relaying what I heard. i would be
wary about trying it. Has anybody else heard of such a thing?
Sounds suspect to me also; what exactly is it supposed to be cleaning
out? One issue in oil is particulates, which should get flushed out
with an oil change or caught in a filter. If you ran anti freeze in an
engine for any length of time I'm sure its lack of lubricating abilities
in a hot engine would seize it up in no time.
Not to start an oil thread or anything, but the best oil that you
can use is one that is economical to change often.
