when changing to synthetic oil, is there any thing special you need to do to remove the old oil ?

Question

i mean beyond simply draining it...do i just do my oil change as usual?

Answer 1

There isn't anything special you have to do. I would assume you are looking at a fairly new car. I would NEVER put any kind of flush in my oil, I don't want to risk the engine damage and oils today have a pretty good additive for cleaning. Just drain like a normal oil and filter change and add the syn. Might do a second oil & filter change early, then keep to your normal schedule. I try to use a better filter because I don't change the syn as aften as the regular oil.

Answer 2

no there is nothing special to do and DO NOT FLUSH it. Flushes are bad for your engine. I own and operate 3 quick lube centers and in the 18 years I have owned them I have never used any type of flush nor will I. Just change it like normal and add recommended amount of synthetic oil to your engine.

Answer 3

Flushes are not only NOT needed, they are a waste of money and may hurt the engine (thin the oil, break loose any sludge that may be in the engine and clog the oil pump or small oil holes)


JUST simply change the oil.......

Answer 4

Change it as usual, however..
I would recommend an engine flush before draining, to make sure you get all the gunk out. You can also use standard ATF transmission oil in place of buying one of those expensive treatments. Works just as well, and they do it at places like Jiffy Lube when they run out of Engine Flush. They just dont tell you about it.

Answer 5

I'd get some motor-flush from your local parts store. You add it to the oil you already have in your crankcase, run the motor for fivee minutes, and then let drain. Change filter and add oil then you are good to go

Answer 6

do it like a normal oil change, then just put the the synthetic oil in

Answer 7

No - regular and synthetic oil mix just fine. In fact, synthetic blend is a mixture of the two.

Answer 8

first of all u should really make sure that old oil is out of use... then, you can make the engine crankcase cleaned... if you are about to use different brand of oil it can be better. cuz all of the syntethic oil brands are using different octane however mentioned same number. besides, you can clean the mecanism of the engine and items using a high pressure compressor or a wet fabric.. i wish u do it easily

Answer 9

properly it really is going to be a sideways fixed clear out so its now unlikely to be thoroughly complete of oil once you're taking it off. in case you advise that its thoroughly dry once you took it off then you truthfully've gotten a blockage someplace causing the clear out to starve. you'd be intending to seem into that right now. What year and style is the bike?

Answer 10

no just change oil as usual
