white-gt Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 ok guys so ive bought a replacment tall block instead of rebuilding mine. its got 62k miles with compression im told of 170psi across the board. im not keen on using an engine flush really, i usually use 5w-40 shell ultra but would i be best to use a very cheap semi synth oil to flush round the engine for say 10 miles, then flush and put decent 5-30 or 5-40 oil in?or would an engine flush be better ?

mikey4410 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Dont use engine flush unless u accidently filled you car up with yogurt or milk.but seriously don't use the stuff.use some semi for a lil while making sure you have a magnetic sump plug.(keep the magnetic one even after the fully goes in)Then the oil I would use is 5/40 and has to be fully synthetic.

Matt1878 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah as above .. Flush is awful.. I've just serviced mine with a 5w-30 fully synthetic and runs lovely Quote
white-gt Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 ok lovely, seems to be either 5-30 or 5-40 to 10-40 is the way to go, .. ok thanks guys Quote
