Hi gents,
i know this is a sticky issues and i have read quite alot up on it and it seems that no one can give a truely straight answer on this subject.
i have bought myself a 1996 defender 90 300tdi with 140K miles on the clock i have just finished putting new seals throughout the engine which was a long old job.
i now what to do and complete engine oil change and have bought some engine flush along with the oil, however i am in two minds whether to us it or not. having read through some older posts i have seen that people with old engines who have used it have seemed to cause their enginer more harm than good, however my friend who is a mechanic swears by the stuff and has used it on his own landrover and others he has worked on with similar milage on the clock that he says they now run like a "dream" but with no leaks ( must have no oil in them lol ).
ive got two plans really one use it run it up nice and warm with a new filter in then change out the old now cruddy oil and put another new filter in or run the old oil with out the flush in it but with a new filter drop out the old oil and change for new putting another new filter in?
so what is the gerneral feel on this matter ?
or if you want tell me to shut up go away and all that fun stuff ! haha
thanks
