To engine flush or not to...

[pdc2]

what would you guys recommend? :wink:

[pajerokid]

depends on your engine. if turbocharged, i dont recommend it.

[roydok]

Flushing is just an extra expense. Adequate na ang simpleng oil drain then change the oil. If you have the money then go for it.

[amacatan]

i have read somewhere that you are not recommended to oil flush. this is because these oil flushings are used to make the oil "malabnaw" - - thus allowing it to be drained easily. but, most of the time all of the oil (together with the oil flush) does not get drained. so, when you put in your new oil it seems to still have some flushing left in it.

dont use engine flush...nakakasira ng makina...i have a frnd na mechanic sa isang service station wag daw gagamit ng engine flush...

Caltex Delo 500 instead of engine flush.
Delo 500 is a high detergent oil designed for multi-fuel fleet use.

Change your oil to Delo 500, change your oil filter too.
After 1000-1500kms.
Change it again to what you normally use.
This is what we do when we come across engines which we do not know the service history of.

Auto_xer,
I checked the caltex website, dalawa ang caltex delo 500, mono and multi grade. which one to use?

Sa bagong overhauled engine lang namin gamit ang flushing (1000km) . After that change oil lang. Sa CR, now that's a different story.:mrgreen:

Of course, like most things nowadays, there's a condition attached when using flushing oils. In an old engine you really don't want to remove all the deposits. Some of these deposits help seal rings, lifters and even some of the flanges between the heads, covers, pan and the block, where the gaskets are thin. I have heard of engines with over 280,000km that worked fine, but when flushed it failed in a month because the blow-by past the scraper ring(now really clean)contaminated the oil and screwed the rod bearings.

pdc2, follow Auto_Xer's advice. :wink:

Saksakan mo nalang ng compressor sa oil filler pagkatapos ma-drain ng langis. This will empty your engine enough and yung matitira na oil is sufficient enough to seal the important parts.

Learned this from race mechanics who have to change the oil in a flash. ;)

make sure lang na hindi madumi yung hangin nung compressor mo. may mga shops kasi na nago-oil change na madumi hangin kaya pumapasok sa loob yung dumi kaya bale wala oil change mo :?

[pilo]

drain it overnight, that's how i do it. oks na yun.

[GoThicbLuE]

May nabasa naman ako sa isang site gamit daw ng ATF mga 1 liter added to the old oil kasi may detergent action daw ang atf. run it for a few minutes then drain the oil. change filter and add new oil. \

[KCboy]

i was thinking of engine flush then drain, then add 3 liters of regular oil, run again 5 mins then drain, then put fully synthetic oil 6 liters then yun na. wat u guys think??????

[amacatan]

KCboy, ang dami mo atang pera a :lol: Pero ganyan din dapat gagawin ko sa kotse ko e, dahil nga ayoko gumamit ng engine flush.

[KCboy]

ako engine flush then after, 3liters of oil para maalis yung chemicals ng engine flush, i just used 3liters of cheap 75php oil. ayun luminis yung 4d56icturbo ko. ganda talaga fully synthetic oil, i use mobil 1. maximize talaga performance ng pajero ko.

[k3rk]

if you want to engine flush ok lang basta make it sure na tuyong-tuyo ang oil pan mo...yung wala talagang natitira...ofcourse mas ok pa rin na di mo engine flush like everybody sez...
