works very well imo, my corsa was a lil sluggy in the oil cap when it was due for a service, put some engine flush in when changing the oil, and it was spotless inside, and ran alot smoother..

recommend it tbh, but your ment to use it only when needed (if it hasnt had on in some time and a little grimey in the oil cap)

Depends on how old the engine is really. As Chris said, if it's an old bugger, the shite is probably blocking holes!

it clears the carbon deposits in your engine which can be good. but if the carbon is plugging up a crack or something blah blah blah..

hope that helps

The last time i used it, i used in it an old 106. After a few weeks there was a major oil leak and the headgasket failed. Haven't used it since
