Contaminated engines are becoming more common and the causes are many: from the rise of biofuels and more advanced engine technologies to shorter drives and longer oil change intervals. But here’s the good news: you can tackle engine contamination simply and effectively with an engine oil flush additive. Let’s take a closer look at why this simple step is crucial, and how Engine Flush can make a big difference.
Why Do You Need an Engine Oil Flush?
Over time, contaminants like carbon buildup and varnish accumulate inside your engine. These deposits come from oxidation, incomplete combustion, and general wear. The result? Engine problems you definitely want to avoid:
- Clogged oil circulation: Deposits can block oil channels, reducing lubrication and leading to engine strain.
- Increased wear: Without proper lubrication, engine parts experience more friction, increasing the risk of breakdowns.
- Reduced performance: Carbon buildup can lead to poor engine efficiency, higher fuel consumption, increased noise, and even smoke.
- Skyrocketing maintenance costs: These issues add up over time, leading to expensive repairs and frequent visits to the shop.
Flush First, Then Change the Oil
Think of it this way: flushing the engine is like cleaning the fryer before adding fresh oil. If you don’t remove the old, dirty oil first, the new oil will be contaminated right away. Flushing your engine first gets rid of stubborn carbon and varnish deposits, giving your engine a clean slate for the new oil to work its magic.
Don’t Let Myths Fool You
Some mechanics hesitate to offer engine flush services, thinking it might make their invoice too high or take too much time. But let’s bust these myths!
- Extra cost? It’s true that adding a flush can increase the bill, but the benefits far outweigh the minor extra charge. The result is better engine performance, less fuel consumption, and fewer repairs down the road. It’s money well spent!
- Takes too long? Actually, the flush process takes just 10-20 minutes! While the engine flush additive works its magic, you have time to prep the new oil, grab tools, or organize the work order—making the process super efficient.
- Not for older engines? Another myth! Eurol Engine Flush is designed to be safe for all types of engines, including older models. It’s free from harsh solvents that could damage seals or hoses, ensuring a safe and thorough clean.

- Let it run: Restart the engine and let it idle for 5–15 minutes to clean the engine thoroughly.
- Drain the old oil: After the flush, drain the contaminated oil and replace the oil filter.
