  • Should I flush my engine?

    I have my 3000 mile oil change coming up, and I have 95K on the clock. I was wondering if I should flush the engine with the oil change?

    I want to do the kind where you pour the flush in first, idle the car, then change the oil. I am not talking about the pressurized motor flush.

    I thought about this because I saw a bottle of engine flush at Pep Boys, and it got me thinking if I should do it.

    I run Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30. My previous owner ran it too when I bought the car at 82K, but I don't know how long.

    If you want to.

    I recommend you go to Napa and get a bottle of Seafoam and add it to the crankcase, drive for 500 miles and then change the oil....you can wait to the next oil change and do it.....but that seemed to work the best for me.

      I've only used the K&W motor flush twice: Once on the blazer, oncce on the bonnie. oil cam out nice & black. follow directions on container. Ididn't have any problem w/it, just made sure that as much was drained as possible. waited for that small line of dripping oil to stop then used some paper towels to suck some out before putting the drain plug back in.
