1996, 1.4 - Engine flush? - csgmart
Bought oil and filter for an oil change which I will be doing over the Easter weekend. I was given a free bottle of Wynn's engine flush.

Never used this stuff before. Is flushing an engine before a change a good idea?

Car has done 95k miles now and I don't want to cause any problems by flushing the engine when I've never seen the need before. Could it 'loosen' something inside the engine that will later cause problems or is it a good idea?

Comments/thoughts appreciated.
