Dear Stan and group,
Stan Wilder's advice has been helpful and thoughtful to me. Today I took
your idea and mixed about a half cup of that oil which I drained yesterday.
The oil that was run with Marvel Mystery oil for 700 miles.

I took a photo of the opened coffee filter and don't see much. I used one of
those no bleached brown coffee filters. I will pmail the photo to Stan or
anyone else who want to see. The specs on the filter might just be bits of
plastic specs from the oil container as it was dirty to begin with from
previous oil changes.

It would have been better to filter the oil from the engine flush a week or
so ago but that oil is long gone. Stan I wish I had the benefit of your
experience before I threw away that engine flush oil. It would have been
useful to see what was fluched out.

Fortunately in my opinion the oil from ths last change looks pretty clean.
Stan I'll pmail you a copy of that coffee filter photo. Anyone else
interested pmail me for the photo. Next time I'll use the white coffee
filters. We use the brown filters at home because the bleached white ones
contribute to cancer.
