Royal Purple’s Royal Flush is a safe, effective, and inexpensive product for cleaning sludge and varnish from oil circulation systems while in service. This corrosion inhibitor and lubricant is available in two viscosities and can be used in three main ways:

Royal Flush
Royal Flush
  1. Added to existing oil to clean varnish and sludge before draining existing oil.
  2. As a temporary oil fill to clean varnish and sludge from equipment before refilling with new Royal Purple oil.
  3. As a temporary oil fill for cleaning and flushing a polyglycol oil that is incompatible with the new oil to be used.

Though Royal Flush is accompanied by thorough use instructions, Performance Corner got the following four pro tips straight from Royal Purple headquarters:

  • It is best to first drain the existing engine coolant, then pour in a bottle or two of Royal Flush and fill with water. Existing coolant should be drained into containers and disposed of properly (it is not suitable for release into the environment).
  • Once the mix is in-system, the engine should be started and allowed to run for at least 5 minutes after the thermostat has opened (about 15–20 minutes for most vehicles)—the longer the better. Particularly contaminated systems may benefit from running all day with this mix. Assuming no freeze/boilover protection is required, the system can safely drive for a day on the mix.
  • Concerning the removal of stop-leak products: Effectiveness will depend on the type of stop-leak used, how long it has been in the system, and how it was dosed. Royal Flush will not remove inorganic stop-leak products (those containing silicon, aluminum, copper, etc.).
  • Royal Flush will not harm your system—no matter how much you use. Though the formula also poses very low risk to the user, we nonetheless recommend that it be treated with respect and handled as little as possible.

Design Engineering, Inc., recently released two new products—a Jeep Header Wrap Kit and additional thicknesses for the company’s Boom Mat—sure to please performance enthusiasts looking for the best finishing touches for their rides.

First up, DEI’s Jeep Header Wrap Kit, is designed to prevent plug wire and boot melting when installing shorty headers on your 2007–2011 Jeep JK V6. The kit has everything you need for a typical set of shorty headers:

  • Two 25’ rolls of Titanium Exhaust Wrap
  • Eight 9” stainless positive locking ties
  • Four 14” stainless positive locking ties
  • Six 8” Titanium Spark Plug Boots

The American-made components withstand temperatures up to 1,350 degrees and resist many hazards of the engine bay, including solvents, oils, fuel, acids, and chemical spills.

Next are two new thicknesses for DEI’s Boom Mat, which dampens sound on the most extreme commercial and sound-competition applications. The new 2mm (33% thicker) and 4mm (166% thicker) versions combine aluminum-stiffened top skins with asphalt-free, pure-butyl, noise-constraining layers to control noise generated by vibrating interior panels—including in the most high-temperature situations.
