Hi All,
I recently got my EGR valve replaced (info on that saga a couple posts below)
and the mechanic recommended that on my next service which is a good 10,000kms away, that i get the dealer I brought the vehicle from to do an oil flush. They recommended this because as the EGR valve was faulty that more than normal exhaust gasses would have been let into the engine and that the oil would be dirty.
I regularly have my car serviced and always do my own oil changes and filter changes before going on a trip so they didn't insinuate that i have neglected my vehicle or anything of that sort.
I was wondering if this is something that can be easily done by yourself with no worries at all and if so, if anyone has done it before can give me the process to do it and the best products to use.
I am completely comfortable with doing an oil and filter change on my vehicle so I cant see that this should be too much of a stretch.
Info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
