Is it safe to use liqui moly engine detox to flush the engine?

I own a series 2 rx8. 64000kms manual
I am looking to use liqui moly engine detox to flush the engine.
I prepare 15L Castrol 10w40 to flush the engine.
Is it good to use it?
Anyone use it before?
Thanks

What problem are you trying to solve? Most of those treatments only remove wallet deposits.

I would never use any engine flush product.

Imagine having a thin skin coating all internal oil lines, galleys, passageways, etc. Now imagine that skin being peeled off and forming little ***** of gunk inside all those oil lines, galleys, passageways, etc.

Nothing

No problem with my rx8, just want to make it even better. The car runs well. Engine still really strong. I replace almost everything recently. Engine oil, filter, brake pad, brake fluid, transmission oil, lsd oil, coolant, spark plugs, coils. New short shifter , mid pipe and a header.
I am looking to make it even better. Will that liqui moly helps? It claims will help the engine get more performance, more compression and clean.

If you had a 200,000 mile Buick on its 3rd oil change, those claims might be true. I wouldn't risk it in your car. As you say, it runs fine. If you do your oil changes on time, there is nothing for this product to do.

I mean, if you really want to clean the engine, you can just use those 15 L of oil to make sure most oil in the engine is new.
