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.

    I wouldn't flush an old engine, having a bit of crap in there can help stop leaks etc.

    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
