Comma engine flush - yay/nay

The last time I ever used any kind of 'flush' it flushed away a lot of the bits that were holding the thing together! :( When the fluids went back in the front of the car resembled a shower head :D

Yeah, apparently it's good to do it with an engine that you don't know the history of. The extra detergents in diesel oil help get rid of years of gunk.

There was a guy on Rovertech who took the sump off an engine before and after running it with diesel oil. If the photos were true, it was very impressive.

Any brand new oil would have done that though.
 
So any new cheap oil will do?

I've been given a 1995 Golf Driver with 130K and I can't remember the last time the oil was changed - or any part and we've had it in the family since 40K.

Its due a complete suspension/bushing change and was thinking of doing this for the engine.
