1.) Drain current oil

5.) drive for 500 miles

6.) replace with Castrol and a new filter

Be sure not to let it cool off much between shutting it down and draining it so the accumulated gunk (no pun intended) doesn't have a chance to fall out of suspension.

I would not run it any more than 10 min. with the flush in the system, whatever's not going to come out in 10 min. isn't gonna come out after 30 min. and running with the flush in the system can put a serious dent in the oil's lubricating abilities.

I would drive the car no more than 500 mi. on the interim oil, but I'd probably swap it closer to 200-300 mi. since 500 mi. for me would be a month or more, be sure to include a new filter at each swap.
