Wynns Engine Flush advice?

#1: Wynns Engine Flush advice? Author: very_452001, Location: Birmingham PostPosted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 9:34 am

Instructions at back of the can says put contents in warm engine then Rev in neutal at 2000rpm for no more than 15 mins.

Instead of executing this instruction can I do an alternative which is to drive around at 2000rpm for 15 mins? Or will this cause problems to the engine?

Why would you want to do something other than the instructions given?!?!

I could use the 15mins to drive to a garage for a oil change instead of arriving at garage and waiting another 15mins for flush.

Just want to know will it damage the engine if I do it my method?

Just follow the advice you were given in the other thread.

Just wanted to know can i drive with wynns in the engine without damaging it? Has anyone else did this method? Will it cause oil thinner causing more friction between engine components? Will it stop the oil circulating properly in the engine?

How can you constantly drive for 15mins at 2000rpm? The revs will always be varied on your journey. It probably alters the oils protective qualities somehow

I wouldn't use the flush stuff anyway. There's build up of carbon deposits in the engine, when you flush the engine these deposits can move and block things up. It happened to a friend at work, so my advise is not to bother and just change the oil and filter with good oil and a genuine filter

Just put sand in your engine. I heard that works quite well too.

That will happen on high mileage cars right? The mileage on my car is 67000. Is it still ok and go ahead with the flush?

I dont understand that people Reccomend to use engine flush in the sticky threads on this website forums yet some people oppose 2 it. Im confused?

There's no point in flushing it. With regular oil changes it's not necessary.

Ok the jury has come to a verdict that engine flush is rubbish so i might as well return it back to halfords.
