how many of you guys use engine flush for ur fd's
does it help
if you do
how do you guys use it?

 

Flush what?

thewird

 

old engine oil

 

You mean an oil change?

theres nothing to flush on these motors....

 

I think he means the oil additive or cleaning agent the lube shops try to get you to buy when changing your oil. You run the car with this stuff in it just prior to draining the oil.

I don't use it. Nothing beats frequent oil changes.

OP, next time a few more words explaining your thoughts might get you better responses. (leave the text speak for texting)

 

Never heard of it? What exactly does it do? Thin the oil so it comes out better? But yah, nothing beats frequent oil changes

yeah before changing the oil u add this and let the car dle for about 5 mins
which according to som brands says that it flushes all the old oil residue and other bad stuf ..huh
thats all i knoe so far

 

I don't think rotaries have that problem considering our oil usually gets diluted with gas over time. I wouldn't spend my money on a product like that. Just change your oil more often if you want to keep it clean.

Also, just thought of something, if that thins the oil, that means some of it would be left over in the oil coolers and lines even after an oil change so the new oil might be degraded because of it.

yeah i was
thinking the same thing
rotaries mite not need it.. its more likely for pistons....just cant wait for summer to take her out and feel that vibe of new oil change... use to get in my skyline
dont knoe how fd will react to new oil change................................????????????

 

You shouldn't notice anything unless something was seriously wrong with your previous oil lol

thewird

 

just came in after a long trip across the ocean
drove for it for only 3 days
cant say much about old oil

 

Whats even more likely is that its not needed for ANY engine. Its a gimmick.

 

+1. Idea on piston engines is to remove varnish, and gunk that accumulates in the head/valve cover. Basically adds solvent to your oil. Really wouldn't use it in a rotary: they suffer none of the issues the flush is supposed to fix anyway, and I'd be a little concerned some of the solvent will remain in the OMP circuit.

 

If you buy a better oil brand in the first place it normally does a better job at keeping things cleaner.

 

wat brand for a daily summer driver
would u use to make engine more reliable
