Can a Engine Oil Flush Cause Damage to the Engine?
There are a lot of opinions as to whether or not an engine oil flush can cause damage to the vehicles engine. Since today’s modern engines have tighter oil passages than the engines of old, there’s a possibility that sludge deposits could break up and become lodged in oil passages. This could decrease the flow of engine oil to vital engine components and cause damage to those components.
Another possibility is that particles from the engine oil flush could block the pick up screen to the engine oil pump. This could cause a loss of oil pressure that could result in engine damage.
If an engine oil flush is performed, ask the service advisor if there are any warranties or guarantees against engine damage. If there is a warranty that comes with an engine flush service, get it in writing, don’t take a service advisors word for it. If the engine oil and filter are religiously replaced at the manufacturers recommended intervals, there shouldn’t be a need to have the vehicles engine oil flushed.
