Hi Ian
Yes you are right but IM not sure bacause some say, yes do use a flush while others say dont because of what ingredients are in the flush may harm parts in the engine. I asked the oil guy and he told me to do it the way i said rather than use a flush. Its all very interesting to someone like me who has never even seen the inside of an engine and so cant even imagine where the oil goes or really what it really really does other than cool and lubricate parts.
I suppose it could be better that way so I dont get a big head and think i know it all.
To flush or not to flush that is the question but is there one answer or a few.

Wouldn't a flusher be a more economic solution?

Changing it after 500 or so miles is a good idea. Synthetic oil cleans out the system so you need to let it do it's job for a few hundred miles and then start over. I would say 500 to 1000. You also need it to flush out any traces of the old oil as you can get an emulsion that is not to good if they are mixed.

No Im sorry for the confusion, just to change it the first time at the 500
miles to remove all the varnish from the engine. Then from there on get an
oil analisis done every so often to see if it needs to be changed. He thinks
it will last at least about 10000 miles or even longer as confirmed by the
oil analisis.
