Im thinking about getting my engine flushed and i have heard mixed opinions from friends and i was wondering if it would be better or worse for my car? its a 99 ex M/T with 156,000 miles and i know for sure it hasnt been done already

 

Good idea. Save money by doing a Seafoam treatment yourself. Split the container ($8) equally into the gas tank, brake booster vacuum line, and crankcase. Replace engine oil about 200 mi later.

 

where can i get that? and its safe right?

 

I saw Seafoam at both NAPA and O'Reilly in my area. Search the forum for members' experiences using the product. I've read nothing but positive reviews. I also treated my Civic and found that it worked fine without any problems.

 

If you add to the crankcase (the oil) I would change the oil after your "spirited drive".

 

k, so i looked up stuff about it and i see its pretty easy and have heard good stuff bout it. im guessing its not too expensive? and im changing the oil almost immidiately after driving for like 10 min bc im due up for it neways

 

I ruined an engine once using an engine flush in a can. I would not personally do it again. I know a mechanic at a gas station that sells the seafoam stuff and he says he would never use it. So thats two NO votes.

Unless there is a really good reason to do so I would not.
