Default BG Flushes

Have any of you gotten/heard anything about this BG Enginge/Oil/Coolant/Power System flushes? I hear Pat Goss talk about them all the time (Yes, I know he is sponsored by them) But do they do anything other than drain your wallet? Thanks.

Never heard of it, so I looked it up:
Quote:
The BG PF12 Power Flush for Engine Oil Systems presents a perfect solution for correct maintenance of engine oil systems. Used by a trained technician, the BG PF12 injects a safe, effective cleaner into the oil system. The engine is run for 15–30 minutes during the procedure. Sludge and deposits are removed from the cleaning solution as it is pumped through the BG PF12 filtration system. This ensures that there will be no plugging of the engine oil system.

When the cleaning process is completed, the cleaning solution along with any loosened residues are air blown from the engine. A new oil filter, fresh motor oil and BG MOA®—a highly effective deposit control conditioner—are then installed. This can give your vehicle’s engine many more miles of clean, trouble-free operation.
Now, reading the description, its clear this is designed for the oil system of a "normal" engine, not a dry-sump 911 engine with 12 quarts of oil, oil lines and two oil coolers. I wonder if their machine would have enough fluid to pump through a 911 engine? Also, they air dry the engine afterward, but I doubt they could air dry all the oil lines, etc. My assumption from reading the above is that the oil system of a 911 is too different to be used with their process.
