Scotty, for the sake of the owners of cars with engines that fail from mfg shavings that eventually block the oil passages;
Do you think that the head and block areas could be saved by some kind of power-flushing done when the car comes in for an oil change? Inject some kind of liquid solution that would coat the aluminum shavings and keep them from snagging or otherwise attaching to metals. The liquid could be filtered and re-used endlessly. I picture the "scrubbing bubbles" commercial as an example. Obviously, this might work on ANY aluminum block engine.
I think the problem is that you have a kia... The magic solution you be talking about is regular oil changes.
Nothing can fix a manufacturing defect.
Better design and quality control is what is needed. Not all manufacturers have this issue; it’s best to fork over hard earned money to the manufacturers that get it right in the first place.
Kia = Killed In Action.
You can't wash out a factory design flaw.
