#1: Engine Flush or not ( Oil Change) Author: NayNay1991x, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 3:25 pm ---- Hey guys, what would be your opinion on engine flushes to remove harmful deposits and stuff? Shall I just change the filter and oil and forget the flush or what? Thanks

If you must flush it then just use a cheap oil for a couple of miles.

Get it nice and warm then remove sump bung and leave for 5 mins.

if you do use it only let it tick over till warm and then drain dont rev or drive it because it thins the oil out and could cause damage!
