    Default will i flush her?

    right guys, oil change is due.
    i changed it at 106500 miles with mobil 10w-40 semi oil.
    now on 115000k.

    i was thinking about getting engine flush before the oil change to clean out the system.

    i was going to get 10w-40 again as the car is remapped, i just wanted more clever opinions?

    I did mine yesterday. The independent garage where I used to get mine serviced always flushed the engine before changing the oil, so I did too. And I shall continue to. And I used 5W-30 EcoFlex oil (Fuchs Titan).

    I am starting to do more myself on the car now. Hence the DIY oil change. I restore classic cars for my hobby, so modern stuff ought not to present too much of a challenge!
