engine flush is used to clean the internal part of the engine

its added to the engine oil and run the car for 10 minutes (this depends with instructions) then drain the oil and put fresh one

u can do b
u can do better by stating ur car model dt it works for another engine doesnt make it to work for your engine.
If you can buy the specified recommended engine oil for u car ,it will work better in cleaning your engine inside and out other than going for one third party stuff dt can react with sensitive part of ur engine to create more problems

Siena:
I'm not an advocate of oil flushes, and I'll tell you why.

If a good quality oil is used, and it's replaced at the specified intervals, then one shouldn't even be considering an engine flush.

There have been quite a few documented cases of engines losing oil pressure AFTER having a flush. The reasons are simple - carbon deposits tend to stick to the oil pan, rocker covers, timing chain covers and oil galleries in engines that MAY have had oil changes skipped, poor quality oil used, or simply high mileage.

As long as these deposits are stuck somewhere, they're not considered an issue. Break them down with any flushing agent, any carbon deposits that are NOT dissolved WILL travel to where they'll do the most harm - into the oil pump gears, and clog up the oil pump pick-up screen. The engine will then seize from lack of adequate lubrication.

The ONLY way to clean a dirty engine is to run it till the oil is hot, drain it IMMEDIATELY, then pull the oil pan, timing chain and rocker covers, giving them a good wash with DIESEL. Finally replace them with new gaskets or OEM sealant, not that nasty black "gum" Nigerian mechanics seem to be in love with .

GAZZUZZ:
seems you have been out of naija for a while, they have upgraded to other color variants of the gum

thanks for the diesel tip.

What type of engine oil do you make use of?

What's the spec of your car?

DECOtech:
Lolz! ...Siena never misses this line when talking about gaskets and sealants

@ siena & gazzuzz: what's d difference(s) btw Engine flush & ringing of engine? Thanks.

Siena:


Engine flushing: Draining the oil, replacing the oil with the same capacity engine flush or diesel, running the engine at idle for about 10 minutes, then draining. Some flushing agents you actually add to the old oil, idle and drain as above. Then a new oil filter is fitted, new oil added then you're done.

Ringing an engine: This involves removing the pistons, stripping the oil control and compression rings, then fitting new items. If the cylinder bores are glazed, they will need to be lightly scored with a deglazing tool, otherwise the new rings won't bed in and seal properly. Replacing piston rings usually involves an engine strip down, though the procedure can be done with the engine in situ, with just the cylinder head/heads and oil pan pulled.

Flushing of ur engine is a very good tin .. cos it remove d slug in ur engine.. meaning it remove thick dirty oil away from ur engine for d new oil to supply well round d engine and most of all after flushing ur engine. .for d next 2 month ur engine oil will still b clean wen u check it
