Question:
I'm having an oil change done tomorrow by Kwickfit, (I know I know)
Should I run a can of flush through beforehand based on the fact that I don't know when the oil was last changed and my breathers still seem to be blocking rather quickly.
If so what brand does anyone reccommend
Cheers

I posted the same question on annother thread regards the oil cooler probs. No one actually replied.
But of the products on the market the only one I tend to remember is the Wynn's version.
-
No, as it can losten some deposits which can do more harm than good. Stick to regular oil and filter changes.
-
General opinion is no.
They can do more harm than good by dislodging crap which can then cause a blockage.
If you think a flush is needed, do some oil changes every few hundred miles. that will nicely clean things
Only costs about £8 to do an oil & filter change yourself :y

I have had a forte one used on mine in the past. Excuse my ignorance if they are the same products. Anyway as you said My car came with a reasonable history of oil changes. I do recall others advising that if history was sketchy not to flush as it could dislodge some of the accumulated gunk which could block an oilway.
Try doing a search on this subject. It should bring up quite a few results.

Not to flush,,,, That be the answer! As said previously, it losens the gunge in the engine and causes blockages elsewhere..
