Should You Do A Lexus Engine Flush?

The older your Lexus engine gets, the more sludge and deposits increase. On the performance of your engine, this can have a significantly adverse effect if left for too long. What happens then? Internal wear increases. There is a loss of power. The critical moving parts of your vehicle will be negatively influenced. Eventually, expensive repairs, engine failure, and more will be the result.

There is good news, however. From the internal workings of your engine, you can remove these harmful deposits with a Lexus engine flush. What will that do? Using a quick and easy process, harmful contaminant buildups and dirt will be flushed out.

The Workings of an Engine Flush

What's involved in an engine flush? First of all, a chemical additive is introduced to your engine oil. So the additive and oil mixture will circulate through every engine part, your engine is then started and allowed to run. Then, a complete draining and flushing of the oil and chemical additives is executed. They must be entirely removed from your vehicle’s system. Fresh oil is then used to fill the vehicle.

Why Should an Engine Flush Be Done on My Vehicle?
