What to expect during a Engine Flush Service
The engine flush will be performed at the same time as your oil change. The mechanic will remove the old oil, pour engine cleaner into the engine, which is then gently left for a few minutes to make sure the cleaning agent reaches everyplace oil would normally go. After that, the chemicals are drained and new oil is poured in.
An oil flush is not probably required if you follow the recommended oil change intervals from your vehicle manufacturer. If you’ve let your car sit unused for month, gone too long between oil changes, or don’t know if your used vehicle was regularly serviced, get an engine flush to maintain the performance of your engine and avoid expensive repairs.
