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

I wouldn't bother, that stuff could stay in your engine bay and cause issues. The stuffs not needed in my opinion.

Thanks

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.

 

On that mileage flushing it could be a bad idea. all ths gunk is probably keeping it quiet.
I dont recommend it to my customers.

 

No

 

Oil flush is meant to flush oil and gunk out, if any of the flush stays in there, it surely can't be good!

Thanks
Sam

 

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.

 

Thanks for all your replies looks like I'll just change the oil & filter

When i change the oil in mine i drop the oil then run some cheap oil through for a couple of hours driving then refill with the good stuf, seams to stay cleaner for alot longer.......

 

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.
