Did you do a rinse? If not.. you may have to consider changing the oil at a shorter interval ( and winter is harder on engine oil anyways ). Keep an eye on your oil pressure gauge if you have one.

other vacuum source

ha ha ya thats what they do i useto work there... there is 1 solution that goes in the crank case, 1 in the gas and one in the vaccule line...then there is also a swab full of some sort of red liquid..
the engine flush is a little different ... watch out, sometimes they use tranny fluid in the engine flush bottles... the managers say it does the same thing...i dont know about that but ya.

and the engine flush is desighed to break down sluge and varnish build up... also makes the seals weaker so you can be causing it more harm than good... if you really want to use a engine flush treatment do it for 1/2 the recomended time.
