oil flush
Is there any need to use flushing oil when changing fully synthetic oil? i'm not sure if it sludges up or not! 1953 80"

the oil itself doesn't sludge up, but if you've had say leaking injector seals then flushing the engine would be a good idea as you'll have had carbon blown into the oil.

But no, there's no point routinely flushing the engine.
