I worked as a technician for years at vauxhall, and I always flush, weather it be the one you buy or mixture of diesel and hydrolic oil. Its good to keep the engine clean on the inside.:thumbs: | |

Engine flush removes deposit's that may have built up around vital seals etc over time. You will be hard pushed to find a tuner who reconmends using it. | |

its not the reddex stuff mate, its the engine flush that you use when doing an oil and filter change, the reddex that you put in your fuel is to clean the injectors etc | |

If this is the stuff you put in with petrol then I used it on my Corsa, never did it any harm. | |

No, if your really bothered about it, do two oil changes within about 500 miles. | |
