Ams Oil engine flush

So I did a search and I didn't happen to find any answers.
I'm switching to AmsOil as per recommendation of Jannetty Racing.

My question is I was thinking in using AmsOil flush to clean any build up and have everything nice and clean inside. Has anyone used it in the Lt4 everything I read says it work good.

Car has about 8500 miles.

Also where are guys buying Ams Oil from?

Shit nobody has nothing to say about the AMSOil flush. Is it snake oil or does it work.

Just my opinion but I can’t see how you’d have a buildup of sludge at ALL after 8500 miles.

Just figured it will be like a maintenance thing doing it maybe every 3 oil changes. Keep everything clean and avoid bluidup.

Synthetics don't get build up when changed regularly.

Not necessary. If you are using a high quality oil and changing it regularly there shouldn't be any build up of anything.

Ive torn apart well maintained motors with over 100k on them and they look fine, save yourself the money.

OP use high quality oil and that's it, no flushes needed.
