Vehicle manufacturers always provide us with recommended service/oil change intervals. These
intervals are clearly set out in the vehicle owner’s handbook. What is not so clear in the handbooks
is that the ecommended service intervals should be reduced under severe operating conditions.
Very few of us operate our vehicles under ideal conditions. Severe conditions are described as:
• Stop-start city operation.
• Continuous high-speed operation.
• Extended periods of caravan/trailer towing.
• Long periods of engine idling.
• Over-extended oil and/or oil filter change periods.
• The use of an engine oil of lower performance than that recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer.
• Prolonged operation in dusty environments.
• High mileage engines.
Generally we service our vehicles according to ideal conditions regardless. This often means that
the oil is pushed past its optimum service life. The result is that undesirable deposits form in the engine.
So why use an Engine Oil Flush?
• Certain engines are more prone to sludge formation than others.
• Certain oils tend to support sludge and deposit formation more readily than others.
• Older, worn engines tend to produce more deposits.
• Climatic conditions can contribute to sludge deposit formation.
Where engines are suffering from problems of sludge and coke or varnish deposits, they are being
robbed of performance. Sludge and deposit formation is often evidenced by excessive oil usage,
engine fuming, oil leaks and noisy operation of valve gear.
As it is impossible to see inside an engine, it is good practice to use an engine oil flush as a
precaution. It cannot do any harm, if used according to directions.
