We used to flush the pans with mineral spirits and then fresh engine oil before adiing the new oil just to get rid of the deposits that settle in the pan. 2007 Toyota Yaris RS 91 LASER RS (N/T) Auto (PARTING OUT) 95 Honda VLX

Might as well just drain everything while your at it. 50 Trim Bolt-on 11.79@118 MPH 60-1 Trim Bolt-on 11.79@123 MPH
