Do NOT engine flush

[Trex101]

You don't need a flush if you have been using good quality synthetic oil.

 

Take a look at what happen after using Pennzoil Ultra for 1000 mile, works as advertised.

I think when your engine is pretty clean, flushing won't cause much problem. But then, if it's pretty clean, then no point flushing. What's more important is regular engine oil change and to utilise your car regularly.

 

The most missed point about engine oil change in Singapore is, most don't clock the extended interval of 15/20K or even 30K within 6 months, and most motorists change engine oil only in accordance to distance clocked, and not distance clocked OR 6 months whichever comes first.

Hi Guys,

 

Is Engine Flush and Throttle Body cleaning the same term or method?

 

Thanks,

[Arixlim]

haha..they also add in fuel addicives to clean engine i remember...recently....levo98? shell? got a feeling the boost and the cleaning abit performance difference, so it cleans ur engine like a engine mini flush..?..same mah...put into your fuel tank, burst with injector, difference is engine oil deposit take in the carbon....so fuel injector is cleaner perhaps..?

Personnally prefer oil base engine flush instead of chemical solvent type.

Most contains fuel oil as main ingredient.

Actually, there is hardly a need to flush engine unless its very dirty. For me, I change my oil every 5000KM hence its always clean.

 

The safest way to flush an engine is to simply use mineral engine and run it for 500KM and change the oil (if you feel rich you can use synthetic oil).

Just flush my engine using amsoil flush, is it ok? Amsoil is a brand swore by many. Cos my engine got a little sludge but I only pour in half bottle and drain out like 10min flat.

[Linlaopei]

engine flush is to make your clean engine cleaner. However, if yr engine is DIRTY, do not attempt to flush it. It can be a DISASTER.

I wish more people pay attention to flushing the toilets.

 

So many public toilets people dun bother to flush.

 

Car dun need and they want to!

 

[Fuelsaver]

haha bro, u strike again!

[Earthboy]

the first time i flush my LGT (mileage around 40K) the coolant became brownish 2 days later and the reserve tank was boiling. I have no evident to point this to the flash but so coincidental?

I'm still confused. I am thinking of doing the engine flush for the next servicing package coz just got a second hand car. I see terms like engine flush + treatment, fuel Additives + Fuel Injector + System Cleaner. Are they all the same meaning of engine flushing? Some bros mentioned use mineral oil n run for certain km, then change oil again. I mean, for layman like us, we dun know how to DIY, n I dun think the workshops advise or do this for us. We only go for our regular servicing with or without engine flush. So, in conclusion, experts pls give correct advise. Thank u very much!
