As a car mechanic, you’ve seen it all—engines clogged with sludge, vehicles struggling with performance, and customers wondering why their cars aren’t running as smoothly as they should. 

One simple yet effective solution to many of these issues is using a JLM Engine Oil Flush before conducting an oil change. This extra step ensures that your engine stays cleaner for longer, enhancing performance and extending its lifespan. But why is an oil flush so important? Let’s dive in. 

What is an engine oil flush?

An engine oil flush is a specially formulated additive that helps remove dirt, sludge, and carbon deposits from inside the engine. Over time, contaminants accumulate in your oil, which can lead to blockages and reduced efficiency. JLM Engine Oil Flush dissolves these harmful deposits, allowing them to be drained out along with the old oil, leaving behind a cleaner and healthier engine.

The benefits of using JLM Engine Oil Flush

1. Maximises engine performance

Sludge and debris can restrict oil flow, leading to increased friction and wear. Using JLM Engine Oil Flush ensures that fresh oil can circulate freely, reducing strain on engine components and improving overall performance. 

2. Extends engine life

Engines are expensive to replace or repair, so keeping them in top shape should be a priority. By removing built-up deposits and sludge, JLM Engine Oil Flush helps reduce wear and tear, ultimately extending the life of your engine.

3. Improves fuel efficiency

A clogged engine has to work harder, which means it consumes more fuel. When you use JLM Engine Oil Flush, your engine becomes more efficient, allowing it to burn fuel more effectively and potentially saving you money at the pump.

4. Keeps new oil cleaner for longer

Even if you change your oil regularly, old sludge and dirt can remain inside your engine. Flushing the engine before an oil change ensures contaminants won’t immediately dirty your new oil. This helps maintain cleaner oil for a longer time.

5. Prevents expensive repairs

Ignoring sludge buildup can lead to major engine problems, including clogged oil passages, increased friction, and even engine failure. It can also contribute to oil leaks, as pressure builds up in clogged systems or seals degrade over time. A regular oil flush before an oil change can help prevent costly breakdowns and repairs.

How to flush engine oil with JLM Engine Oil Flush
