well my car has 120,000 miles on it wanted to put in motor flush. cause i belive that all that honda oil is building up good idea or not.

 

have you pulled you oil pan or valve cover and seen some sludge build up in the engine that is making you want to do this or are you wanting to do this based on mileage? Unless you have reason to believe you have this build up I wouldn't do it, but maybe thats just me. I'm very reluctant to put additives/cleaners in my engine.

 

well my engine shakes it's too much milage. also i could just add only like a liitle bit and not the whole quart like gunk says to do.

 

I wouldn't say thats too much mileage. Honda's are known for still being reliable high mileage cars.

your engine shakes to much? Have you inspected your motor mounts recently?

 

There's already been a recent thread about this, but I'll repost what I wrote anyways.

"IMO, engine flushes are worthless and bad. Much of the time the flush material can get into the rod bearings and displace the oil, causing the bearings to shred. This happened on my old Cavalier that I tried to do an engine flush on. The engine components have much tighter clearances than what the tranny does, so even that small amount of flushing stuff can cause issues. Also, if you regularly change your oil, you shouldn't be having to worry about "sludge" build up or any of that crap. You'll only see sludge on engines that are very very neglected."

Just because your engine shakes doesn't mean it's because of "sludge" build up, and in fact, I've never seen an engine have problems because of "sludge" build up besides ones that haven't been run for a very very long time and have been sitting without running. Those engine flush additives are garbage. As long as you change your oil regularly (every 3,000 miles) you won't be getting any "sludge" build-up.

Also, if you think 120k is high miles for a Honda, think again. Ask how many people on here have Accords with 200k+ and still run like they're brand new.

 

okay
umm well i try it out and i mught well replace the motor mounts would shake the whole. thing it's just shakes my steering wheel kind of shake. i did everything timing belt did a flash timer on that the dis , valv rubber, water pump, almost everything

 

d
honesty.

 

I'm sorry but thats hard to read and understand, could you try re-wording it?

Did you replace the motor mounts or not?
Are you saying when it shakes it only shakes the steering wheel?
What is a "flash timer"?

From what I can make out...
You replaced the timing belt?
You replaced the valve cover gasket?
You replaced the water pump?
Etc.

 

No kidding. What are you trying to say? If you had read my post above you'd see that those cleaners are pointless. Christ, if the shake is in the steering wheel, it could be a ton of different things. You need to be much much more specific.

 

well it sipmle purpose is to clean out all the oil crap that sbeen up in my pan for soo long. here i did'nt thunk it would do harm car has 120,00 miles just wanted to make it run clean. here read
