[Fot] oil line & cooler flush chems

[John Styduhar]

​I use mineral spirits for parts cleaning and flushing out my oil cooler,
accumulator and lines (after removal) but it's about $10 a gallon and
flammable. Always air dry and check the flushing fluid for metal or ?
That's as high-tech as I get with my TR.
