Hi. I'm going to be changing my oil and oil filter, do you think it worthwhile to use an oil flush at the time I change the oil. My car is a 2003 Honda Accord with 181000 on the clock.
Thanks for your help
Phil

Hi Phil,
I would not really be too keen on an oil flush, it may cause more harm than good in an older/ or high km engine. Sometimes cleaning out an engine can expose problems or cause the engine to start smoking and burning oil. This may not happen of the engine is in good condition, but it can be a risk.

Hi Cade

Many thanks for your reply, I'll take your advice and not bother with the flush.
Cheers
Phil
