i just bought the shell flushing oil after reading ur post, but in east malaysia cost RM27.50. Going to flush mine this afternoon :P

 

[evoX2]

let me do a short feedback after using the shell flushing oil. after i drain out the old oil, i pour in all 4 litre flushing oil and let it run for 5 mins, the clear flushing oil become as dark as my previously oil. guess it does actually clean the engine. engine does sound little smoother on idling. not bad for RM27.50, i'll used on my other cars as well now.

i will try this for next car service.
hope to see the clear flush oil turn into black color too.
this means it really clean the engine.

evoX, yup.. that exactly what happens to me too... u can see photos on page 1 for the after drain out flushing oil.. the drained out flush oil is very very black... result of a good cleaning on all the engine walls and around all the parts inside the engine..

when i just got my car...which is a 2001 proton putra 2 years back. i send it to my frens service center at shell and he did the engine flush for me. then after tat masuk the cheap shell mineral engine oil and bring the car out rev few rounds kau kau.....drain the mineral oil, then only fill in with the engine oil i want.

i still remember when drain the shell flushing oil tat time....zomg!! really brought the colour black to a whole new level.

i've been driving my car for 2 years now.....engine so far so good......regular service interval 4,000+ km with Eneos 10w40 semi-syn engine oil.

would recommend this Shell engine flush. but apparingly theres some pro's and con's though. for example if ur engine is in a really bad condition, this engine flush might do more harm than good. for example, remove sludge in ur engine that was "preventing" leaks...so after flush, sludge removed....leaks start to happen. but i guess this way, at least u know that ur engine has leaking problem rather than letting sludge "fix" the problem rite?

I just did mine on RAV4 Year 1996 at mileage 155,311km.
The drain-out color is black, which is suppose to be because the engine flush brought out the carbon/ dirt that accumulated inside the engine all the years.

The engine is smoother & responsive, u can actually feel that the speed starts pick-up even just 1st gear.

if anyone wanna try the Shell Engine Flush, i have 1 extra to sell cos miss-calculate the number of cars in family & brought extra. PM me.

wah.. aVince... how many cars u have till miscounted??

anyways.. good to hear it works for u too.. so no doubt this shell
flushing is really cleaning ur engine..

i'm impress at the shell engine flush.....farny thing it's been there like so long...but now people start realising that it actually works.....how come no workshop carry it??? but anyway....mine....significant increase my mileage....not much but it's impressive....b4 RM60-310-320km now RM60-360-380km.....good....but how often do we flush...i mean the interval...every 10-20k???

 

[donCityZ]

for me im going to flush every 20k.... or maybe even 30k..
up to u i guess...

 

[aVince]

haha.. actually i brought enough but then given to brother's g/f lah.. sister's b/f lah.. end-up i have to buy again & was rushing that day cos the Shell Station have to open new box from store, so just grab n go.

There is no need to flush too often cos the carbon/ dirt will not deposite so fast.. Beside, you guys change the engine oil so often + on-time.. the carbon/ dirt also got no chance to deposite... keke

 

[WeeNN]

I've got a question on the Shell engine flush. My car needs 6.5 litres of engine oil, do I also need 6.5 litres of Shell engine flush?

 

[cybtech]

you can seek your nearest shell service center.

what engine/car/truck u use?

it shouldn't be a problem if you use full 4 lit.
ut if your engine is super dirty... may use two bottles...
