rangoon Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 HI-GUYS, I am thinking of doing a oil and filter change on my mk6 1.4 petrol engine soon, will I need to flush the engine or is there no need to flush. my handbook says to use 5w30 engine oil only.

L666JER Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I wouldn't flush an old engine, having a bit of crap in there can help stop leaks etc. I think it's far better to do regular oil changes with top quality oil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangoon Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 thanks james, will do the oil change only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm with James 100%. There should be no need to flush unless you have reason to do so. Just use a quality oil and change it regularly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
