Alternatively, you can flush the engine first if you have been driving around with mineral oil for years.

flush additives not really recommended for old engines... valve seals and other oil seals might wear off faster, causing more serious oil leaks....

old car jz stay with mineral oil la... cheaper mah... jz find a better quality mineral oil can adi....

Yeah, i should have put "proceed with caution" for old cars tongue.gif


Modern oil seals/gaskets might not have issue with flush additives, unless it's about removing baked on deposits that are actually helping to seal thinned/worn gaskets around the oil pan for instance...
