The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?

It had been about 6K since my last change. He said the oil was %26quot;pretty burnt up%26quot; and that he saw some %26quot;shavings%26quot; in it. First of all, the car is a 2006 Scion TC, with 30,000 miles. I change the oil religiously, this is the first time I went that far, usually change around 4K. I don't really think there would be %26quot;shavings' in anything, secondly, I fail to see how a flush is really necessary given the cars age. I think he was a lying sack of dirt. What do you guys think?The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?It's bunk.... Never do an Engine Flush even if it were old and full of sludge because it would then send the sludge to the oil pan and clog the sump screen and then would starve your engine of oil and cause failure...

If your engine is gunked up bad enough, then it;s time for an old fashioned tear down and rebuild...

This guy is just trying to sell you additional services that they can charge you for....Find another shop to go to....The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?idk i change my oil around 3000 or a little less miles, because i have a highmileage car, the only reason id think there was shavings in the oil was if u was dogin it and still u'd have to have alot of metal to metal for it to flake, so i figure it was probably best to stay away from the flush. what was he gonna flush it out with? cause it'd had to be something besides water cause oil and water don't mix. idk manThe guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?Your right, He's lying.



First off all engines and trans has some metal shavings in them as they wear in. these are very small and is the oldest scam in the books. If the engine is running fine just keep changing the oil as you have been A flush is required only if yo have over heating problems such as you ran the engine with no oil and it got burnt, or you have 100,000 miles on it.

check your owners Manuel for recommendations.The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?i think your right, change the oil and then again in about a thousand miles. take it somewhere different and see what they think.the filter should be catching any normal engine wear particles, but it sure should not have shavings with that mileage. its not even brokein yet.The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?your right, the guy is a dirtbag and just trying to drum up some extra business and money.The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?The only thing resembling %26quot;shavings%26quot; that come out in oil appear during break in. That's why I change oil in new engines at 500 miles or so.



At 30,000 that engine isn't exhibiting anything like shavings. Also, GSA vehicles only get oil changes every 7,000 miles and they don't have

shavings in them once break in is past.The guy at the national oil change place tried to sell me an oil flush.?complete hog wash, as long as you stay on top of your vehicle maintanance, sludge should not be a factor. If you do notice some sludge under your oil cap, and if your car had more miles on it you could add a little ATF to your oil. It's detergents are great at reducing mild sludge. Doesn't sound like you should have anything to worry about.
