Product Information
Full details
The Millers Oils Engine Flush Additive is designed for vehicle owners who want to thoroughly clean their engine before an oil change. Its key benefit is removing accumulated debris, ensuring new oil circulates in a clean environment. A caveat is that it requires the engine to be run for a specific period, necessitating careful timing during maintenance. This 250ml additive works by flushing out contaminants and carrying them to the oil filter for disposal, leaving the engine pristine and ready for fresh lubricant. It is suitable for all engine oil grades and both petrol and diesel engines.

FAQs
How often should I use Millers Oils Engine Flush Additive?
It is recommended to use the Engine Flush Additive once per year or every 10,000 miles, ideally before each scheduled oil change, to maintain optimal engine cleanliness.
Can I use this on a very old or high-mileage engine?
Yes, it is generally safe for all engines. However, in engines with extremely neglected maintenance, there's a slight possibility of dislodging large deposits. Always change the oil filter after use.
What is the exact running time required for the engine?
You need to run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes at idle or with light load after adding the additive.
Do I need to drain the old oil before adding the flush?
No, you add the Engine Flush Additive to the existing engine oil before draining.
How much additive do I need for my car?
Each 250ml bottle treats 4-6 litres of engine oil. For engines with a larger oil capacity, you may need more than one bottle.
Can I drive the car normally during the 15-20 minute flush period?
It is recommended to run the engine at idle or with very light load during the flushing period. Avoid high revs or heavy driving.
What happens to the debris after the flush?
The engine flush suspends the debris and carries it to the oil filter, where it is trapped. You then dispose of the old filter and its contents.
Troubleshooting
Engine runs rougher after adding flush
Ensure the correct amount of flush was used for the engine oil capacity (4-6 litres per bottle) and that the engine was run for the recommended 15-20 minutes. If issues persist, consult a mechanic.
Oil filter appears excessively full after flush
This indicates the flush has effectively removed contaminants. Ensure the oil filter is replaced with a new one and disposed of properly.
Oil light flickers briefly after starting post-flush
This can occasionally happen as the new oil circulates through the clean engine. If it persists for more than a few seconds, check the oil level and consult a mechanic.
