Gonna change me oil this weekend. Have always used Castrol GTX High Mileage since I got the car, and I'm gonna change to that Comma Lite stuff now. Shall I bother gettin any sort of 'engine flush' stuff to do before the change? Or just change the oil and not bother? I remember Chris saying that Slick50 stuff was a bit crap a while ago on here! But not sure if there are actually any decent ones out there? I'm tempted to believe they're all crap tbh! |

Just make sure the engine is nice and warm before you drain it. |

ayee on the same issue ,
i topped my engine a wee bit too much the other day in feckin dark
the dipstick was showing a cm below the max line so after topping up it was a cm over the max line
she sounds much better now but i remember reading somewhere that topping over the max line would cause engine internals wear ?????????
true or shite ??? |

It can push out seals and so on, but i think you'll be ok.
Anyway, yours will burn that off within 10 miles eh  |
