Actually using flushing oil or diesel oil can lower your compression and cause problems with older engines.
Flushing oil will remove carbon deposits from around your piston rings which "may" have been helping keep a good seal between your piston and rings.
I wouldn't use flushing oil unless my engine was really gunked up and then I'd probably be more likely to strip, clean and rebuild the engine.
To sum things up. Unless your engine was recently rebuilt or you know for a fact that the sludge and carbon only developed recently don't touch flushing oil with a ten foot pole!
