The extra iron will help replenish metal that has been worn away. And you have to drain the oil first, then fill it with water, then start the engine. That will help ensure that all the oil will be removed. Don't add bleach. If anything, add some soap. Laundry detergent is best. Soap bonds oil to water allowing for things to get extra clean.
