The engine is the most important component in your car. While routine maintenance and oil changes will keep your engine running in good shape, you’ll also want to consider an engine flush service from time to time. This will help your engine stays as clean as possible, helping it run for hundreds of thousands of miles.
So what exactly does engine flush do? It helps reduce build up and clean contaminants that are smaller than an oil filter can remove. A high quality oil filter is designed to remove contaminants up to 25 microns, but the most dangerous contaminants to your engine are between 5 to 20 microns. That means those contaminants are larger than the finest tolerances in your engine. Today's engines are designed with extremely close tolerances and smaller oil passages. This can cause approximately 60% of the wear on your engine. If you’re not flushing those harmful contaminants out from time to time, sludge, tar, varnish, and other wear metals can continue to circulate within your engine. If an engine becomes heavily contaminated, even an oil change isn’t sufficient to remove those contaminants. That’s where engine flushes come in—helping you flush all that sludge, tar, varnish, and other contaminants from your motor. It becomes more important if an engine has gone beyond its service interval. If you just purchased a used vehicle and don’t know its service history, then we recommend having this service done as soon as possible.
Contact us to schedule an engine flush & oil change service. Your vehicle will need to be dropped off for the day so the engine can completely cool down for this service. Prices vary based on vehicle and oil capacities/types.
