Happy Christmas Joe.

I don't see the need for engine flushes.  The main purpose of them is to remove sludge deposits from the engine.  Changing the engine oil often will avoid the build up of sludge in the first place.

Probably no harm in doing it if you want though.  Although there will be a slight risk if you have any damaged oil seals that are being kept sealed with sludge, they could start leaking.

Hi its good to do flash only if you start it from early it means 50k mills do it and put a new oil and filter after that every 30k or so and the all system stay like new, if you do it after 10 years of never done it before or, after zero maintanance then there will be trables so dond.

It depend also in the condition of your car.

I for example did it after 50k km ones, change oil every 5000km with an oil pump, oil filter every 4 changes of oil use 0w20 winter of 5w30 in summer, the car runs like new !

Enjoy.

I i was you i would put a flash can before oil+filter change, and put new 0w20 fresh oil with a new filter and if you change oil every year, i would keep on doing flash every 2 years.

This flash take all the dirt moister and so... out of the system/going back to the original point from the day it went out from the factory.

Keep the system clean and anjoy your car.

I once made a (previously quiet) high-mileage petrol engine really tappety by using engine flush, and have never used it since. As long as the oil has been changed at the correct intervals in the past there should be no need.
