Can also try 4 parts 10w oil and 1 part kero and let it idle for 10 mins. Then repeat until the oil coming out is clean. But ^^^^^^^^^ is the BEST way.

None that are not time consumming or a pull down. Any of the free water floats on top of the oil so stick some of the cheap the oil in and let it settle and then drain.

Water + oil = emulsification - so you have to pump that through and out of the system. Keep the bearing load at a minimum so IMO, start , stop, start stop etc - and then drain.

Did this on an old windsor that powered Noah's Ark and it came thru okay - but no guarantees.

Hope it helps.

I've owned a few e-series so have been through this a few times, but most of the time it's just a case of draining the sludge, putting some new oil in and driving around for a few hundred kms, then some engine flush before draining that oil and chucking some decent oil in and forget about it. Never had a problem lol.

Take engin to fuel station, open oil cap, take sump plug off, proced to fill/flush oil filler hole with diesel.....perfect!

I always thorght teh best way was to just flush with oil a few times that's if you dont disassemble the engin and clean it
