Product Information

Full details

The Carlube Engine Flush is designed for car owners looking to maintain optimal engine health by removing internal sludge and deposits. Its key benefit is freeing sticking engine parts and valves, ensuring newly added oil isn't contaminated by old residues, thereby extending engine life. A crucial caveat is that the vehicle must not be driven while the engine flush is in use, and extreme caution is needed when draining hot oil.

FAQs

How often should I use Carlube Engine Flush?

It is generally recommended to use engine flush as part of a maintenance routine, typically every 30,000 miles or annually, especially if the vehicle has a history of irregular servicing or if you've just purchased a used car.

Can I drive the car with the engine flush inside?

No, under no circumstances should the vehicle be driven while engine flush is in use. It is designed to work while the engine is idling.

What is the purpose of the neutralising agent?

The neutralising agent helps to balance the engine's internal environment after the cleaning process, ensuring that the new engine oil is not affected by any residual cleaning agents.

Is it safe for all engines?

Carlube Engine Flush is designed for use in most gasoline and diesel engines. However, it's always advisable to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations regarding engine flushing procedures.

What precautions should I take when draining hot oil?

Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. Be aware that the oil will be very hot and can cause severe burns.

Do I need to change the oil filter after using engine flush?

Yes, it is essential to replace the oil filter immediately after draining the flush and old oil, and before refilling with new oil. This ensures that any loosened contaminants are captured.

What should I do if I accidentally drive the car with the flush in?

If you accidentally drive the vehicle, stop immediately. The engine flush could potentially cause increased wear on engine components due to the lack of protective additives in the flush itself. Drain the oil and replace the filter and oil as soon as possible.

Troubleshooting

Engine performance does not improve after flush.

Ensure the flush was used correctly and the oil change was performed immediately after. Persistent issues may indicate deeper mechanical problems requiring professional diagnosis.

Oil pressure warning light flickers after flushing.

Check the engine oil level immediately. If low, top up. Ensure the new oil filter is correctly installed and fully seated. If the issue persists, there may be an unrelated problem with the oil pressure sensor or pump.

Difficulty draining hot oil.

Ensure the engine has been running for the recommended 10-20 minutes to ensure oil is sufficiently hot and fluid. Use caution and appropriate protective gear. If the oil is too thick to drain, allow the engine to idle slightly longer, but never exceed the recommended flush time.
