would you flush
Hi all just been up to my local dealer to get an oil filter and plug
seal washer, As I'm going to change my oil this week, Just got the
car a bog standard uk turbo 2000 95, with 128K would you say I
should add an engine flush to the oil before draining or not? many
thanks in advance
Colin.

nope, steer clear.
pefill the filter with oil before putting it back on. if you want you can disconnect the crack sensor after the oil change and spin it over a bit before starting.

If I have done a flush all I do is use a lower spec oil to clean it out. But have done this from owning the car from new. As previously said if never been done you could cause a lot of problems.

That's not a bad idea just run a cheap 10/40 through then change to the better stuff I guess it's a flush of sorts...

Flush is a solvent & dissolves your oil. This stuff is really bad for your engine & should be banned. Dealers use it as a money making skam & should know better.
