    stupid as it may seem , pero halimbawa, ang sasakyan mo ay up to 3.0L na may oil capacity na 4-5 liters..

    anung idudulot ng paglagay/pagamit ng 2 cans ng engine flush sa makina mo?


    e kung sa makina na katulad ng sa patrol-safari/LC80-105 (ung naka 4.2L i-6) na may 2-gal capacity ng oil??

    wala lang naisip ko lang...

    sabi nila nakakarupok ng rubber seals (o-ring, gaskets) ang engine flush.

    Oo nga 'no?

    Pag sa labas ako nagpapa-oil change, isang lata/bote ng oil flush yung ginagamit. Mine's a 2.5L, with 6L oil capacity.

    Hirap kasi extremes eh. Not enough flush leaves some of the previous oil's sludge in the engine. Too much flush and the fresh oil becomes too thin to protect the engine.

    pano po ba gamitin yung flushing oil?
    tingin ko 1 can lang pwede na, para maalis yung sludge.

    ako i use flush lang kung magpapalit ako ng brand at type ng langis...like kanina, from shell helix diesel to total rubia xt...1 can lang talaga gamit ko...

    kaya nagtanong lang.. what if thick na ang oil ng sobra prior to oil change, pwede kayang 2 cans instead of 1 lang para di na buksan ang oil-pan...

    It's the small "5 minute" engine flushes that are usually harsh on the engine components... If you're flushing, flushing oils (i.e. Caltex flushing oil) is more adviseable; use around half the equivalent of your engine's capacity. Using a cheap engine oil is also ok...

    My 2.8 4m40 Pajero engine used to undergo overnight draining every oil change. At full drain, it needs about 7.5 liters of oil , parang V8 sized engine na yun yet the casa uses just one can of oil flush.

    But I guess there's no harm in adding an extra can, especially if you got the extra cash .

    magastos talaga ang kotse... cheaper in the long run if you spend on it from the start

    Para sa akin hindi na kailangan ang engine flush kung regularly naman ang change oil. Usually ginagamit lang to sa mga repairs na makapal na yung sludge at mahina na ung oil pressure due to restricted oil pump pick-up pipe. Another simple thing is the stuck open thermostat, it can cause the engine not to reach operating temperature promoting oil sludging. Regularly maintain also PCV system and engine breather.

    I was convinced that engine flush is not necessary, so I stopped using it. It's just a waste of money.

using 2 cans of engine flush in 1 oil change??
