yes it safe to use engine or motor flush ,i've been using it fo rpas 10 oil change and no issue

 

thanks for the responce. is there a brand you would recommend?

 

no brand really almost all are the same

 

I have used flushs for yrs on abused motors, but mainly used a name brand so I could write it down on the bill---In my case "SuperFlush" or some such thing---Fact is---that its no more than diesel fuel with maybe some naptha in it, and I suppose it would have some affect----I have in terrible cases used fuel oil ( a qt ) and repeated several times to help flush the lifters, etc.

Did it work? Maybe, but the damage had been done. So, did I buy a few more miles out of an old beat up motor ? Maybe.

Point is, if u change ur oil every 5000 miles, the detergents in the oil are "flushing" ur motor.

The motors I used them on were motors that that I prob should have just left well enough alone. ( 100,000 miles with Never an oil change, just a Qt added when they were low ) HEY ---- No **** !!!

Iv seem many Detroit Irons that NEVER had there oil or filters changed since new with 250,000 plus on them----Best thing with them is change the filter and fill up on nondetergent for the rest of their noble lives

 

That ^ was another language.........

 

Hmm...I've never tried one on a newer car. I have heard it's not really something you want to be using as they can score the metal inside the motor.

 

I change oil every 1K miles. EVERY time they ask mr if I want the SUPER enginevac/oilflush w/ products I don't know anything about, and I say no. They also want to sell me the special vac drain plug.
I've got 45k on my 04 ZR w/ absoloutey no problems, (lots of N/A engine mods) w/ chevron premiere engine oil. Maybe, as posted above, on an abused engine it could help. Otherwise, I suggest you use reliable oil, change frequently, and see if problems develop. If you want to do an "engingevac" make sure it's someone you trust.

 

I will use a different language easier to understand for those confused--------

1. DONT use flush in your properly maintained motor.

2. DONT be manipulated into being sold High Profit ( for the seller ) Low/No benifit/return ( for the sellee ) fads that serve no purpose except to give them a laugh after u pay the bill.

There----does that break down the language barrier ?

 

Very well expressed. I agree 100%.

 

Holy crap man! Are you trying to use it all up? Leave some for the rest of us.

 

Does you owners manual recomend flushing the motor?

 

Of course not, it assumes you follow routine maintenance.

Engine oil flushes/cleaners are for attempting to recover from poor maintenance.

 

Completely pointless.

 

Ludicrous and on the verge of rediculousness

 

hahaha

if i had the money and time, i would do it too

never used engine flush, so i dont know

 

Its a simple question. Goodbye friend.

 

no.

this was not my question. i believe it was "are engine flushes safe to use"? 350z drifter had a good response. anyone else with some positive or negative feedback on using an engine flush would be appreciated.

 

Thought I made that clear ---NO ----DO NOT USE A FLUSH in a clean well maintained motor----That means a motor with less than 150,000 miles and a motor where the oil is changed even at 20,000 mile intervals.

Flush is no more than a solvent---it thins the oil and would tend to wash lube off critical parts

 

The thing is ---U want to hear somthing positive about engine flushs and DONT want to hear anything negative ----U WANT to flush ur motor. Go ahead --flush it, Its not going to disinigrate before ur eyes if u do. Get it out of ur system
