What is an Engine Flush and Do You Need One?

Your vehicle requires regular maintenance with things like oil and other fluid changes, but this may not be enough to truly keep your vehicle operating at its peak performance. From time to time, you should also consider an extra level of preventative maintenance with an engine flush. Adding an engine flush to your maintenance routine helps your motor last longer and really aids in optimizing oil consumption. This is why a quality flush, such as LIQUI MOLY’s Pro-Line Engine Flush, is a wise option for you and your vehicle.

Why Should You Use an Engine Flush?

We all know that running an internal combustion engine causes build up. Metal moving against metal can create friction, combustion generates heat, and that heat can cause oil to sludge and basically leave deposits in your motor that don’t allow it to operate as well as it can. The deposits and other contaminants lead to malfunctions on your engine's components. It causes severe performance issues and even engine failure.

When brand new, an engine needs a certain amount of break-in time to truly perform optimally. During break-in, there can be wear particles and other materials that build up sludge or are dispersed in the oil, which is why an oil change is important early on in your engine’s life. The same can be said after break in, as your motor collects debris, sludge and the by-products of oil combustion and oil breakdown. The engine flush supports to clean these deposits out of the engine before the oil change, allowing the fresh oil to get in a clean engine. This helps to keep the oil in good condition directly after the oil change. Adding regular engine flushes to your routine can help remove deposits, and cut down on your risk of engine issues and lowered performance.

What Does an Engine Flush Do?

Basically, an engine flush is a chemical cleaner that contains detergents and dispersants from an engine oil in a concentrated form. It is designed to help clear away deposits and anything else that gets left behind in your engine. If you stop to think about it, when you change the oil and oil filter, you always leave a little behind. It is just the nature of fluid dynamics. But there are other deposits that have a little extra staying power. A quality engine flush, like the LIQUI MOLY Pro-Line Engine Flush, helps to clear those deposits, sludge, and other contaminating substances that build up in your motor. They are simply drained with the used oil.

If you’ve ever heard that you should never flush your motor, there is some truth in that. You should never flush the motor with the wrong product. If the flush isn’t formulated right, it can cause additional damage. That is something you don’t need to worry about with the Pro-Line Engine Flush. It is a specific formula designed to remove deposits safely.

The Pro Advantage

The LIQUI MOLY Pro-Line Engine Flush is designed to optimize your motor’s oil consumption, regardless of what type of oil you use. It also works to ensure proper oil pressure and oil flow when you start your engine and during use. The flush clears the way for the fresh oil to immediately perform exactly as designed while helping restore full engine performance and reduce exhaust emissions.

The LIQUI MOLY Pro-Line Engine Flush works with all 4-stroke gasoline and diesel engines including those with or without turbochargers, although it should not be used for motorcycle engines. It is completely safe for use with catalytic converters and filters, too. It is compatible with most of the available motor oils out there, including synthetic blends.

How Do You Use It?

You use it by adding one full can to your existing motor oil (sufficient for volumes from 3 to 5 liters) in your engine. You then let the motor run on idle for roughly 10-15 minutes before shutting it down and completing a normal oil change. The flush works with the old oil to clean out the motor and remove the contaminants with the old oil as you drain it. Once you refill the motor with fresh oil and a new filter, you’ll start to notice the improvements a flush can bring.

Regular use of the LIQUI MOLY Pro-Line Engine Flush can keep your motor running better and longer. Learn more at the LIQUI MOLY website today.
