Effects Of Engine Flushing... Good or Bad ?

[LesleyAprotto]

Just use Chemlube, have cleaning function. Settle the problem

Another solution if you dont prefer to flush the engine, is to do oil change more regularly...

Perhaps once every 8,000km for synthetic oil ?

One of my friend does oil filter change at 5,000km and again oil filter change, oil change at 10,000km

What do you think?

Is it a good idea?

Last time I also thought the same to use FS to 10k km, but that was my mistake for turbo engine, engine oil turn dark and engine internal becomes dirty. Nowadays OCI same like mineral oil.....

 

[LesleyAprotto]

My mechanic today told me...

The engine flush we buy are mostly kerosene packed in cans...

I wonder if that could be true?

Anyone got any idea on this?

 

[vr2turbo]

That is why safer to flush with a lighter viscosity oil then chemical flushing....

 

[BoxCarRacer]

Yup, if on regular OCI then no need to flush. Flushing needed is engine have sludge, but pros and cons about flushing the sludge too....

Only half can? Then running below recommend oil level?

Yup. Half of it and im running less than 10 mins or probably lesser. Just to clear up the any balance or excess flushing chemicals. Just don't rev the engine la.

2 liter short not sure enough for circulation or not?

If you guys checkout bluechems engine oil cleaner (they don't call it a flush), what you're supposed to do is pour in the bottle into the oil and drive like normal for a day (max) then just drain. The oil comes out like water! I like Bluechem products, very different from the masses.

I've tested and wrote about this fuel cleaner from Bluechem : http://www.zerotohundred.com/newfor...duct-testing-blue-chem-fuel-system-clean.html

Their oil cleaner is just as good. Same concept too. I'll have to do a proper write up on it.

i bought 1 bottle of it.
however on the labels stated to idle for 10-15 minutes if not mistaken.
it does not state that it can be driven. :hmmmm:

Bluechem...chemlube is engine oil...not a flusher

That is because you are using the chemlube, just hope he is going to use the right one for flush....

Haha! Using chemlube to flush, not only waste of money but no effect cuz it is suppose
to clean the engine while driving until the next oil change haha!

You tell me bro, you have more experience in oil change than me with your w211 with 800,000km/h and yet reaching 1 million soon...

I have only used Chemlube for 5 times and I should have taken before after photo on the lid.
Big difference...

What i used to do is, i will put in the engine flush first. Start d car and let it idle for 5 mins or 10... then drain all the dirty oil out for 15 mins... then refil with 'cheap' mineral oil - 4 liter of it.. start the car.. let it run for 10 mins.. then drain it out... change oil filter and fill up with the desired oil of choice and .. viola... cleaner than ever
