Engine Flush....?????

***Laser Tech*** · 07-03-2008, 06:02 AM

What is my dealer trying to sell me. He states he can flush the engine before changing the oil. Not to be confused with cooling system flush.

Engine flush. Any autoparts stores sell it. usually around 5 bucks a quart. U dump it in. Let engine run for 5 minutes. Then do your oil change.

Engine flushes are good for high mileage and non maintainced trucks. Or if you wanna be anal and do it everytime. I guess its only 5 bucks so it cant hurt.
