Engine oil can begin to clump and build up inside a vehicles engine, causing damage as a result. However, an engine oil flush will get rid of the majority of these clumps and protect your vehicle from engine damage. Transmission fluid, because of its consistency, makes a good solvent. However, you cannot use transmission fluid by itself to perform an engine flush--you must add it to engine oil.
Step 1
Drain the oil out of your car and remove the oil filter from the vehicle.
Step 2
Put a new oil filter on your vehicle and add one quart of transmission fluid to the standard motor oil that you are going to put into your vehicle.
Step 3
Start the engine and let the vehicle idle for 15 minutes. Turn the vehicle off and let the engine cool down completely before continuing with the following steps.
Step 4
Drain the fluid from the vehicle and remove the oil filter.
Put a new oil filter on the vehicle and fill it with synthetic or synthetic-blend oil. This is a higher quality oil than standard oil and will prolong the life of your engine.
Items you will need
- 1 quart of transmission fluid
- Standard motor oil
- Synthetic or synthetic-blend motor oil
- 2 oil filters
