Gonna change the oil today and wondered how you flush the system, and whether to would be of any real benefit.
cheers.

It is worth doing if you think the oil hasn't been changed in a long time or if bits of gasket have been crumbling in....
Don't do it very often though, the car wont like it!
buy a can of engine flush, do as it says on the tin
oh and slick50 should lessen any damage caused by flushing it..
Wait for someone else to reply incase I am wrong!

type in slick 50 into google and your see loads of articles about them being sued by the US government about making false claims. Some actually argue that it damages the engine.
Buy some flushing oil (not a chemical flush) far safer.
