Engine flush? Coolant flush? I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.

I mean engine flush , you put it in the oil before an engine change to clean out the engine ?

Also, I was under the impression that a proper engine flush (not done by additives) is only needed on FSI engines....

What does fuel injection have to do with oil in the block and pan?

You mean FSI engines need a periodical carbon cleaning, which is done by pulling the intake manifold to physically clean the back of the valves and intake ports.

Sure, that is done on the intake manifold. But the OP is asking about oil. That's why I'm asking what does carbon in the manifold have to do with the oil in the block?

I was referring to him only doing a proper flush not the one he asked about
