	bstardchild said: Engine flushes = Spawn of satan There isn't and never will be a substitute for regular oil changes I'll post some pics later to illustrate the point!! OK As promised 100,000 mile with full Vauxhall history and oil changes on the button every 9000 miles Different 100,000 mile with Vauxhall history till 60,000 miles but a carefull owner after that and oil changes on the button every 3000 miles So illustrates how the engine can be cleaned in a non aggressive manner by making sure the oil is changed frequently By comparison below is the same first head after a proper rebuild and a full chemical clean - so all the carbon gets left in the acid bath and doesn't circulate round the engine after being randomly dislodged Thats what a really carboned up engine needs

	I asked a technical bloke at Castrol that very question; are they any good. And his reply was; "well put it this way, we don't sell it." He worked in the labs, so I trust his word!
