flushing additives just strip off all the seasoned in oil film oil areas , each time metal to metal again
sounds stupid

QUOTE(abubin @ Sep 17 2021, 01:44 PM) It's not as bad as you think. I have had my old car send to SC for 8 years. Each time they will do the engine flush. Engine was still quiet the day I sold it. First buyer saw the car and bought immediately. I never used it, because checking the contents , they are solvents , which does at it says dissolves everything, places should dissolve and places shouldn't dissolve What about your horror story in using engine flush? Mind sharing?  Just regular oil change with good oil is enough to make engine last looongggg time, just looks at new car warranties with all these tiny turbo engines pushed to max, no qualms offering you 5 years warranty as long oil changed according manual. |

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Sep 18 2021, 12:41 PM) same practice but my concern was if put the flushing oil, how to ensure it removes 100% from the engine? Old Oil threw out either using a sucking airpower machine or opening the bolt below the engine. my mind saying that the air sucking suck all oil better than gravity oil out from the bottom bolt. that's another good point, the flushing solvent will never be removed fully, just contaminating the new oil again |
