My dad worked in a Howard Johnson's auto repair shop in the 1950s when he was a kid. One of their big service was an engine flush.

Filled up the engine with kerosene and oil and do what Hot Rod describes.

One time they did it and must have forgotten to drain the mixture out and refill the engine with oil.

Two miles down the road the engine seized up on the guy's car.
