What is an Engine Flush?

At Bucaro Brothers Auto Care, we provide the very best car engine cleaning service in Lincoln Park and surrounding neighborhoods, and we’re often asked, “What is an engine flush, and does my vehicle need one?”

An engine flush is a way of removing harmful gunk and grime from your engine. A solvent is poured into your engine, and it idles for a few minutes to let the cleaning agent reach all the places oil would normally go. The solvent is then drained and fresh oil placed in your vehicle’s engine.

To flush or not to flush?

Some car manufacturers don’t recommend flushing, insisting that if you change your engine oil regularly, flushing your engine won’t be necessary. On the other hand, we can think of four benefits of engine flushing:

1. Remove deposit buildup

If you do a lot of short-distance, stop-and-go driving, particles in the oil can become deposits that restrict oil flow in the engine. Flushing removes these deposits, allowing oil to flow freely, saving engine wear and tear.

2. Peace of mind

if you’re driving a pre-owned vehicle, you may have no idea how well it’s been maintained. An engine flush and fresh oil can save you headaches and dollars!

3. Keep new oil clean

If you don’t flush the engine periodically, new oil simply picks up the old deposits that keep circulating through the engine. With flushing, oil stays cleaner, and you can go longer between oil changes.

4. Clean engine parts

Accumulated gunk can gum up your engine. Flushing removes the dirt and grime, restoring engine power and improving fuel efficiency.
