I have a 1997 Lexus lx450 with 140,00 miles. I'm using Mobil one 5w-30 extended mileage. It's always used regular oil and switched to synthetic oil six months ago. I just used motor medic engine flush and the oil pressure is high and I hear a light ticking from the throttle body area. I had previously used an oil flush chemical before last change.
No problems after I used that time and I had removed and cleaned oil pan and oil uptake tube (There was an oil pan leak.)
I did not clean pan after this last flush as I did not believe the deposits were that heavy.
The oil with the flush chemical came out very dark. I drove it after change for a 2 mile round trip and now I'm not going to start it until I know what's going on and what to do. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Mahalo in advance from Maui.
P.S. Can we establish I screwed up and move beyond that to what to do now. I don't need to be chastised any more, thank you.
