Engine protection
What an Engine Flush Does and When You Need One
Engine oil keeps internal components lubricated, but over time, oil leaves behind deposits, varnish, and sludge that cling to engine surfaces. These buildups restrict oil flow, trap heat, and reduce engine efficiency.
An engine flush circulates a cleaning solution through the engine to dissolve and remove these contaminants before fresh oil is installed.
Right service, right timing
When an Engine Flush Is Especially Beneficial
Engine flushes at Complete Auto Maintenance Centers are especially beneficial for vehicles with high mileage, engines that have gone long intervals between oil changes, vehicles with a history of conventional oil use, or engines being switched from conventional to synthetic oil.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Engine Flushes
No, an engine flush is not needed with every oil change. It is recommended when your engine has significant sludge buildup, when switching from conventional to synthetic oil, or when a vehicle has gone well past its recommended oil change interval. Your technician at Complete Auto Maintenance Centers can assess whether an engine flush would benefit your vehicle based on its condition and history.
When performed correctly on an appropriate engine, an engine flush is safe and beneficial. Complete Auto Maintenance Centers offers a non-solvent-based cleaner option (the Best tier) that is gentler on seals and gaskets than solvent-based alternatives. Our technicians evaluate your engine's condition before recommending a flush to ensure it is the right service for your vehicle.
