For an engine that got sludge issue before? Recommend to use engine flush? Coz got one time late for service (time, not mileage) then end up sludge..

Just only 1 time late for service won't cause sludge problem.

How late was the service and the oil mileage use that time?

Slightly over 1 year from last service, mileage did around 9k km

What car? If it's a naturally aspirated engine, it should be fine..

If it's turbo, then that's not a good practice.

Suprima. Yes turbocharged. Already 2x change engine oil after the sludge issue but didnt flush, just did regular change, thats why wondering if i should flush the next oil change or not to completely get rid of the sludge

My advice is don't flush. If you flush, the gunk might get trapped in the oil pick-up tube which will disrupt the oil flow to the entire engine.

Only do a flush when you plan to remove and clean the oil pan and oil pick-up tube. Else, just do the normally oil change will do.

For me, I would change the engine oil on that Sperma every 5-6000 km and run fully synthetic in it since fully synthetic oil are quite affordable nowadays. No need to go for Motul or other fancy oil.
