I used the engine Flush on my 2007 chevy to get rid of the pinging (lifters) issue in the mornings. I ran the engine flush for 15 minutes around minute 10 I felt the engine smooth out. I drained the old oil and filled it with Amsoil 12k synthetic. It completely fixed my issue! And I've had zero problems with it! I Love Amsoil products!

NOWHERE on the label does it say to use a pressurized system to pump this into your engine. Thats on you bud. Read the directions next time.

[@SRR1213]

He didn't say that. The reason he's making you aware of using pressurized systems is because that's what a lot of quick lube places dupe their customers into paying $100 and up for. The pressurized way is how quick lube places flush engines for customers.

[@kcmaldonado3948]

My Mazda 3 2018 has 175,000 miles, I have always used synthetic oil, regular changes, and used the Amsoil flush before my last oil change. I notice a big difference in engine performance. My process was this: 1) remove/replace current oil/filter, 2)add Amsoil flush to this oil change. 3) Run Amsoil in new oil change, remove filter anc drain 4) Replace oil/filter, test drive 5) Remove this oil/filter and replace with Amsoil oil and filter. I used cheaper oils and filters to flush and catch those contaminants, but the second oil change was quite dirty so it works. Acceleration is much smoother at all speeds, and im noticing better gas mileage so far.

[@freespiritagent]

Just finally used Amsoil Engine Flush on the oil burning 2az-fe engine. Amsoil Signature Series cut my oil consumption by 2/3 to 1/2. Finally did the Engjne Flush and notice my vehicle drive ability improved. Definitely looking to do this every oil change or every other . Will see what my oil consumption is for the next 3K miles after this

[@darktoadone5068]

I use nothing but Amsoil products, but after watching many videos by mechanics that have been in the business for years I don't flush my engine or use engine cleaner, they basically said what you are saying about these flushes and cleaners and it makes sense. I have a 95 Sierra with 347,590 miles on it and a 2013 Sierra with 162,897 miles on it and I've have zero problems using Amsoil and I've never engine flushed, trans flushed or used engine cleaner.

[@leonelsway]

I been a mechanic my entire life. I use the engine flush once a year when I drain the oil ( Amsoil Signature 5w30 ). Oil gets change once a year w8th about 14k to 16k mile. My Camaro now has 98k runs perfectly, oil analysis shows minimal wear. So short answer, yeah I flush the engine and change the oil once a year, no issue and the car is now 8 years old

[@jackshrader4161]

Been using Amsoil 5-30W in my 1991 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 for 15 years and use their engine flush every other oil change. 185,000 miles now , running well and uses about 1 quart oil between oil changes at the 5,000 mi mark.

I just changed all my vehicles over to Amsoil Sig Series and did the flush on them. I have used their small engine oils and ATV oils and greases on the chassis with beyond awesome results and UOA that showed excellent results from them all. Yes I probably throw money away doing on my SXS and lawn mowers but curiosity gets the better of me!

[@anthonymacneil2279]

I'm an avid Amsoil user since year's. Drive a 2017 HC with 6.2L, it states in manual do not use engine flushes. As one commenter said if you use good oil, change regularly and I do, been using Amsoil Signature series since new there's no reason to use flushes. Thanks for sharing

[@fulltimeshred]

Best engine flush is regular oil changes with premium synthetic oil and filter. If you're that worried about it, just change your oil when it starts to darken; before sludge can form and disperse through the engine.

[@kevinalexander2484]

Many vehicles come factory filled with synthetic now so they never get the chance to form tons of sludge if maintained properly. Oil changes can be done once per year but I still recommend folks do oil analysis the first two years so they know their engine is not wearing abnormally or getting fuel or glycol in their oil; oil analysis will detect what you cannot see with your eyes. Engine oil may look fine but have serious issues you cannot physically see.

[@fulltimeshred]

@@kevinalexander2484 do yearly oil changes if you want. I'll keep up mine under 5k intervals for maximum performance and longevity. I do my best to follow the extreme severe service schedule.

[@marcusaurelius7472]

I work as a fire truck tech and we had one department that had the down do their oil changes all the time on a regular basis but we had to do a engine work and found lots of sludge with regular intervals. We finally got the approval to do their oil changes and we use flush ever time. It Cleaned up the engine valve train and we have not had any issues since. Its been years and no engine has ever broke because of it.

[@WhiteRein]

Im an Amsoil dealer. And I dont reccomend for every oil change. I reccomend when youve switched to Amsoil products in a car you purchased or every other oil change at most.

[@kevinalexander2484]

Any engine flush thins out oil to helps dissolve sludge and remove from your engine as designed to do. One thing to consider is many oil pans have a nut welded inside the oil pan and the wider the nut, the more oil/flush stays in your oil pan even when drained. Can this be harmful ? Not completely sure but you can rest assured if your oil pan has a nut like this, you are leaving at least half a quart of dirty oil & flush in your engine oil pan that will be recirculated and mixed with your clean oil when engine is restarted. To completely clean your engine, do these two things: 1. Use a new-cheap oil filter for purposes of flushing your engine (throw cheap filter away & install quality filter after flush is complete) & 2. Remove & clean the oil pan so you get 100% of dirty oil & flush out of oil sump.

[@kevinalexander2484]

@@toronto543ontario6 I AGREE WITH YOU. Just making the point that certain vehicles will have a much larger percentage of flush still in the new oil. I have used AMSOIL Engine Flush (16 oz.) seven times over the past 27 years in five different vehicles. Had a PCV valve go bad on one vehicle & thought it best to flush a second time & then a Ford Windstar Van, i believe it was a 3.5L notorious for blown head gaskets; blew a head gasket and I flushed it a second time after replacing head gasket & machining the head. You are correct that the bulk of the flush is drained out and the remaining flush is diluted by the new oil that has the new additive package that would provide increased wear protection.

[@brucek.hoffman5868]

not exactly tru... most pans hav a dimple (?) where plug is, also i drain overnite 2 get it ALL out... u can TILT it 4 better draining, i've done that, as my dad taught me a looong time ago... there wood NEVER b a half quart in pan, never... maybe near a half pint left behind, butt NOT a half qt...

[@kevinalexander2484]

@@brucek.hoffman5868 Some vehicles have a NUT welded inside the pan; some of those have a half inch thick nut so that's half an inch deep in the bottom of the pan that will never drain; no matter how long you let it drain. I've never had a problem with the excess flush !!!!

There's also a suction pump to extract fluid; you can suck out the majority if it's a concern.

[@Blairlg95]

My wife’s Jeep wrangler has 174k miles on it. Is it safe to use Amsoil engine flush on it?

[@jdgimpa]

If you change your oil as recommended there should be no reason to use engine flush. If you have to use it before every oil change then the oil isn't doing its job or you are going too long in between oil changes!

[@charlesjung2790]

So is it safe or not? You didn't say anything on this video.

[@I_know_what_im_talking_about]

Add me to the list voting that a flush just isn’t needed in a well designed engine with proper oil change intervals of 3-10k miles depending on driving style. My long term Camry V6 is purring along just fine @ over 340k miles & 22 years of daily use while using random oils @ random change intervals. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But it got synthetic for the first 200k of its life. I’m sure that had a lot to do with it. Never saw a NEED for a flush and this Camry has the sludge prone 1MZ V6. 😳😬

[@johnnicholas6802]

Yes you're right however I bought my Camry at 180k miles. Put 20k miles on her with oil changes using Mobile 1 High Mileage every 4,000 miles. (Some say too often, I say oil is cheap and engines/another car isnt.) Well I can clearly see varnish buildup on the inside of the valve cover! Not caused by me, but rather the other 4 owners before me and their poor standards of maintenance! So in my case a flush is almost a necessity

[@MichaelRobinson-pl7lx]

Nate, where is the Amsoil vid bro? put a link please.

[@cfitzgduke]

Take a small sample of the flushing oil after running the engine, then add the flush product and repeat the engine run and drain. This way you are comparing the flushing oil with the flushing agent. They are often the same when you have a clean engine. If not, then you are truly flushing gunk from a really dirty engine. A car you have maintained properly will get little benefit from the engine flush. So are we cleaning gunk and varnish or just flushing the old dirty oil? Too many people put in a flushing agent and say "Wow, look how dirty the oil is, this stuff really works." Is the oil flushing residual dirty oil and sediments, or is the flushing agent truly cleaning varnish and gunk? Kind of important to know which is of the two options is happening. When the flush oil sample alone is the same as the flush agent oil sample, you'll know your car’s engine is clean and regular oil changes with modern oils will require no more flushing agents. If the oil gets markedly dirtier with the addition of the flush agent, you’ll know you need to keep cleaning out the engine build up. Normally, this won’t be the case. Use either a quick step agent like Moly or a 1000 mile clean like Auto-RX or Marvels, but please don’t risk engine or seal damage with kerosene or diesel. One advantage of the “slow burn” cleaners is that you are allowing the fresh oil to clean over time vs. wasting oil with quick clean multiple flushes that might be completely unnecessary and expensive. Once you have “cleaned” your engine, regular oil changes will likely be enough and no more flushes should be required. However, if you are OCD like me, do an engine flush when you change your transmission/differential fluid/oil, every 30k/60k miles, or use the slow burn additive every other oil change

[@timothysmirz2160]

I had a 1996 dodge Cummins diesel with an automatic transmission, it went through 4 within 10,000 miles. I drained all of fluid and put in a amsoil synthetic transmission oil, changed it at recommended intervals and when I sold the truck it had 497,000 miles on it. I also installed a spin-on filter for the trans.

[@kcmaldonado3948]

Went through 4 what? Transmissions?

I am in the "don't use engine flush" camp. Your better off just using Amsoil Oil and let it slowly clean out the engine. Of course if you started from day one using Amsoil you wouldn't have a dirty engine anyway.

But, you could void the manufacturers warranty not using OEM recommendations during the warranty period.

I used BG epr with moa cant tell it did much used engine with 116000 on it the only difference i see was the dip stick was kind of dark after the flush it wad bright and shinny. Im guessing it could have had the same effect inside the engine . The oil didn't seem super dark draining out. But the oil was pretty new it only had about a 1000 miles on it.

@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO In personal experience, running 25k to 30k oil drains using Amsoil (Signature Series and HDD) and oil analysis I have not seen any sludge issues or problems with the VVTi system (98 GS400 1UZ-FE V8). Between 138k miles and 328k miles, 8 years with this car. It was in an accident, so sadly I was unable to keep my experiment going. Looking inside the oil filler with a flash light showed no signs of sludge and never any anomalies on the oil analysis. Never flushed, never felt I needed to. Around 300k I started a very small rear main seal leak, but not enough to affect the oil level over the course of 25k miles. The engine never used more than 2 quarts of oil per 25k miles. I did feel the Amsoil HDD 5W30 diesel oil performed the best in oil analysis (changed at ~27500 miles).
