Flushing the oil system.

After seeing the damage that these crap fram filters did to my turbo- Im worried that my oil cooler and rest of the system is just as badly clogged.

How should I flush this system out?
Air compressor?

MMO for a couple of miles might clean up the gunk a little, heck, most of us got enough gas in the system to keep ours clean

What did the fram filter do?

Broke apart- glogged the turbo oil inlet- burned up the bearings- blew the oil seal.

It was just SOLID with crap.

The reason I ask- the car is basicly stripped all the way down to the block- since I have it like this- should I rip it out?

Or just add some MMO when reassembled?

I'd break it down since you're so close, just to take a good look at the bearings, e-shaft, pressure relief valves & springs, oil pump, & pick-up tube strainer...
