Do u guys use oil flush when changing oil?
I heard a few people say that is good for cleaning out varnish and gunk.
Fuck that. When I change the oil, I'll let it drain overnight, fill with new oil (don't change the oil filter yet), run the car for a few minutes, and change the oil filter and fill back up with oil. |
Just what we need.......... another thread on how to change your oil :D

buy the cheapest 10w30 oil and cheapest filter you can find, change the oil with it, run the car for a few miles to circulate the whole system and then change it again with top of the line oil and filter

^^^^^ what he said. I've started doing that (change oil on saturday, drive where I need to go, and change oil and filter on sunday). I do this every 1500 and the car seems to like it a lot (the engine is starting to get progressively smoother, not sure how though). |
Oil flush = waste of money. All name brand oils available today have detergent additives to keep deposits from forming (varnish forms from fuel drying out, not oil). In fact, ester-based synthetics actually do it without any additives due to ester's natural cleansing properties.

If you change your oil every 5000kms or so there should be no need
|
Oil has nt been a problem in the RX-7. Have Oil express change it for $16.95
|
oh, the oil i use is redline after the flush.

just being extreme, but I will admit, with the amount of problem I have run into with the 7 in only the last year of owning it, I'm a bit of an extremist when it comes to maintenance (when money allows, that is, if not, the car is just parked and left till I can have it in running condition again). |

In 4-1/2 years on this forum, I have yet to see A SINGLE CASE of anyone having to rebuild a motor due to oil-related damage -- excepting cases where they didn't HAVE any oil.... Like I said above, my motor had 85k on it, with many track events (most in hot weather). Zero oil-related problems with the motor with 3k mile oil changes, running Mobil 1. Some of the 85k miles were on dino juice, but the majority were with synthetic. |

I've got a cumulated 400k+ miles running Redline 20w50 in both 86SE and my FD.
ZERO problems. Hence I laugh at the ignorance of people that pigeonhole all synthetics as the culprit to engine failure. |
