Reasons why you should get an Engine flush

What is an Engine Flush?

Many oil-change workshop offer extra services these days, from transmission fluid changes to air conditioning maintenance. One of the services an oil change technician might suggest next time you're in is an engine flush, which is exactly what it sounds like -- it flushes the gunk out of your engine.

Dirty Oil and contaminants after engine flush

An additive like LIQUI MOLY ENGINE FLUSH PLUS are poured into the engine, which is then gently idled for a few minutes to make sure the cleaning agent reaches every place oil would normally go. Then the additive is drained, just like the oil would be for an oil change. The result is: Gunk out, and clean engine.

So, why do we need engine flush?

1.      If you live in a city like Kuching, where you only travel for a short distances and stop. Also, many stop and go traffic, this way of driving can cause particles in the oil to become deposits in the engine, which can build up over time. These deposits restrict the flow of oil. An engine flush can clear out those deposits to open narrow oil passages clogged by gunk that's been floating around in the oil. Releasing those deposits and allowing the oil to flow freely saves wear and tear on the engine and keeps parts moving as they should.

Dirty engine can cause many problems and inhibits performance

2.      An engine flush could help keep your new oil clean. That's why these services are often performed together: First the flush to get rid of old oil deposits, then the new oil to keep the engine in tip-top shape. Without the engine flush, the new oil will just pick up the old deposits and sludge and keep them circulating through the engine. Soon enough, the new oil is just as dirty as the old oil. An engine flush can help you go longer between oil changes, especially if the maintenance on the car hasn't been perfect.

3.      Most oil filters remove particles as small as 25 microns, but there are particles circulating in your car's oil that are even smaller, particles that even the newest, best filter can't keep out of the system. And even tiny little bits like that can cause wear over time. They can also band together to create sludge and deposits. If these particles become excessive, clean oil alone can't flush them out. But the chemicals used in an engine flush can -- stopping any further wear and giving the new oil a chance to do its job properly.

4.      If the gunk in the engine oil gets too bad, the parts of the engine can get gummed up. An engine flush removes the gunk, which keeps the parts running smoothly. That in turn can make the engine more efficient, bringing the power and fuel efficiency closer to what the car had when it left the showroom floor.

So, there you go guys. Now, you all know that engine flush is very important. So, remember, if you have not get the chance to flush your engine, please do so during your next service. Remember to flush your engine using LIQUI MOLY ENGINE FLUSH PLUS.

Have a nice day guys and remember to always drive safely!
