Product Information
Full details
Carlube Flushing Oil is designed for vehicle owners and maintenance professionals looking to extend engine life by removing sludge and deposits. It is ideal for both petrol and diesel engines, as well as specific industrial applications like hydraulic systems and compressors. While it provides excellent cleaning performance through specialized detergents, it is crucial to note that this is a temporary treatment oil intended for flushing purposes only and should never be used as a permanent engine lubricant.

FAQs
Can I drive the car with this oil inside?
No. Carlube Flushing Oil is strictly for stationary idling. Driving the vehicle can cause engine damage due to the low viscosity and detergent properties.
Do I need to change the oil filter after flushing?
Yes. It is highly recommended to install a new oil filter after using the flushing oil to ensure all loosened contaminants are removed from the system.
Is this safe for modern turbocharged engines?
Yes, it is compatible, but ensure you follow the idling instructions precisely and never subject the turbo to boost while the flushing oil is present.
How often should I flush my engine?
Flushing is typically done when there is evidence of sludge buildup or when switching between very different types of motor oil. Do not over-flush.
Will this fix oil leaks?
No. Flushing oil is a cleaner, not a sealant. In some cases, removing heavy sludge may reveal an existing leak that was previously blocked by deposits.
Troubleshooting
Engine oil pressure light flickers during flush
Immediately stop the engine and check the oil level; ensure you have added enough flushing oil to meet the minimum requirements of the engine sump.
Excessive smoke from exhaust during flushing
If smoke occurs, stop the engine immediately. This may indicate an existing seal issue or extreme internal blockage; consult a professional mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this product, ensure your engine is at operating temperature before draining the old oil. Once the engine is drained, replace the sump plug, fill with Carlube Flushing Oil, and run the engine at idle. Do not rev the engine or drive the vehicle while the flushing oil is inside. Compatibility is broad, covering most automotive petrol and diesel engines, though users should always consult their vehicle owner's manual to ensure no specific flushing restrictions exist. For care and storage, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Dispose of the used flushing oil at an approved oil recycling facility, as it contains engine contaminants.
