#1: Engine flush Author: stu_gti180, Location: TeessidePosted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 6:57 am ---- Ive always put my gti 180 in the peugeot garage for its services... but im going to do it myself....
I understand that 5.3L 5w 40 is to be used, but when looking at an old service reciept 10w 40 had been used... will this of damaged the engine?
also... engine flushing.... any recomended additives?

#3: Re: Engine flush Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 8:15 am ---- Just drain the oil into a catch can, fill it back up with 10w40, it's a better oil for road cars anyway.

DONT!
Engine flush causes more trouble then its worth
The correct oil & genuine / Purflux oil filters being used is much better for the engine then chucking flush bodging stuff in there.
